Provided no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, Borrower shall have the right, at any time after the Closing Date, to prepay the Debt in whole (but not in part) upon (a) not less than thirty (30) days prior notice to Lender (or such shorter period of time as may be permitted by Lender in its sole discretion), specifying the Monthly Payment Date on which prepayment is to be made (a “Prepayment Date”) and (b) payment of an amount equal to the Yield Maintenance Premium. Additionally, on and after the Monthly Payment Date occurring in September, 2017 (the “Permitted Prepayment Date”), Borrower may, provided no Event of Default has occurred, at its option and upon thirty (30) days prior notice to Lender (or such shorter period of time as may be permitted by Lender in its sole discretion), prepay the Debt in whole on any date without payment of the Yield Maintenance Premium.

Any prepayment received by Lender on a date other than a Monthly Payment Date shall include interest which would have accrued thereon to the next Monthly Payment Date (“Short Interest”) and such amounts (i.e., principal and interest prepaid by Borrower) shall be held by Lender as collateral security for the Loan in an interest bearing account at an Eligible Institution, with interest accruing on such amounts to the benefit of Borrower; such amounts prepaid shall be applied to the Loan on the next Monthly Payment Date, with any interest on such funds paid to Borrower on such date provided no Event of Default then exists. Any partial prepayment shall be applied to the last payments of principal due under the Loan.
2.4.2 Mandatory Prepayments. On each date on which Lender actually receives a distribution of Net Proceeds, and if Lender does not make such Net Proceeds available to Borrower for a Restoration of an Individual Property, Borrower shall, at Lender’s option, prepay the outstanding principal balance of the Note in an amount equal to one hundred percent (100%) of such Net Proceeds together with the Short Interest. Additionally, Borrower shall make the Condemnation Payment as and to the extent required hereunder. No Yield Maintenance Premium shall be due in connection with any prepayment made pursuant to this Section 2.4.2 or in connection with any Condemnation Payment. Any prepayment received by Lender pursuant to this Section 2.4.2 on a date other than a Monthly Payment Date shall be held by Lender as collateral security for the Loan in an interest bearing account, with such interest accruing to the benefit of Borrower, and shall be applied by Lender on the next Monthly Payment Date. The Allocated Loan Amount with respect to an Individual Property shall be reduced in an amount equal to such prepayment relating to such Individual Property.

In addition, Borrower shall obtain: (x) if any portion of the Improvements is currently or at any time in the future located in a federally designated “special flood hazard area,” flood hazard insurance in an amount equal to the maximum amount of such insurance available under the National Flood Insurance Act of 1968, the Flood Disaster Protection Act of 1973 or the National Flood Insurance Reform Act of 1994, as each may be amended or such greater amount as Lender shall require; and (y) earthquake insurance in amounts and in form and substance satisfactory to Lender in the event the applicable Individual Property is located in an area with a high degree of seismic activity, provided that the insurance pursuant to clauses (x) and (y) hereof shall be on terms consistent with the comprehensive all risk insurance policy required under this subsection (i).
(ii) commercial general liability insurance against claims for personal injury, bodily injury, death or property damage occurring upon, in or about the applicable Individual Property, such insurance (A) to be on the so-called “occurrence” form with a combined limit, excluding umbrella coverage, of not less than Two Million and No/100 Dollars ($2,000,000) and a per occurrence limit of no less than $1,000,000; (B) to
-66-

(iii) business income insurance (A) with loss payable to Lender; (B) covering all risks required to be covered by the insurance provided for in subsection (i) above for a period commencing at the time of loss for such length of time as it takes to repair or replace with the exercise of due diligence and dispatch; (C) containing an extended period of indemnity endorsement which provides that after the physical loss to the Improvements and Personal Property has been repaired, the continued loss of income will be insured until such income either returns to the same level it was at prior to the loss, or the expiration of one hundred twenty (120) days from the date that the applicable Individual Property is repaired or replaced and operations are resumed, whichever first occurs, and notwithstanding that the policy may expire prior to the end of such period; and (D) in an amount equal to one hundred percent (100%) of the projected gross income from the applicable Individual Property for a period from the date of loss to a date (assuming total destruction) which is twelve (12) months from the date that the applicable Individual Property is repaired or replaced and operations are resumed, except with respect to the Key Largo Property where no loss of income coverage is maintained for the peril of wind. The amount of such business income insurance shall be determined prior to the date hereof and at least once each year thereafter based on Borrower’s reasonable estimate of the gross income from the applicable Individual Property for the succeeding twelve (12) month period. Subject to Section 5.2.3 below, all proceeds payable to Lender pursuant to this subsection shall be held by Lender and shall be applied to the obligations secured by the Loan Documents from time to time due and payable hereunder and under the Note; provided, however, that nothing herein contained shall be deemed to relieve Borrower of its obligations to pay the obligations secured by the Loan Documents on the respective dates of payment provided for in the Note and the other Loan Documents except to the extent such amounts are actually paid out of the proceeds of such business income insurance;
(iv) at all times during which structural construction, repairs or alterations are being made with respect to the Improvements, and only if the applicable Individual Property coverage form does not otherwise apply, (A) owner’s contingent or protective liability insurance covering claims not covered by or under the terms or provisions of the above mentioned commercial general liability insurance policy; and (B) the insurance provided for in subsection (i) above written in a so-called builder’s risk completed value form (1) on a non-reporting basis, (2) against all risks insured against pursuant to subsection (i) above, (3) including permission to occupy the Property, and (4) with an agreed amount endorsement waiving co-insurance provisions;
(v) workers’ compensation, if applicable, subject to the statutory limits of the State in which the applicable Individual Property is located, and employer’s liability insurance, if applicable, with a limit of at least one Million and No/100 Dollars
-67-
($1,000,000) per accident and per disease per employee, and one Million and No/100 Dollars ($1,000,000) for disease aggregate in respect of any work or operations on or about the Property, or in connection with the Property or its operation (if applicable);
(vi) comprehensive boiler and machinery insurance, if applicable, in amounts as shall be reasonably required by Lender on terms consistent with the commercial property insurance policy required under subsection (i) above;
(vii) umbrella liability insurance in addition to primary coverage in an amount not less than Ten Million and No/100 Dollars ($10,000,000.00) or in such higher amounts as may be reasonably required by Lender per occurrence on terms consistent with the commercial general liability insurance policy required under subsection (ii) above and (viii) below;
(viii) motor vehicle liability coverage for all owned and non-owned vehicles, including rented and leased vehicles containing minimum limits per occurrence, including umbrella coverage, of One Million and No/100 Dollars ($1,000,000);
(ix) so-called “dramshop” insurance or other liability insurance required in connection with the sale of alcoholic beverages, if applicable;
(x) insurance against employee dishonesty, if applicable, in an amount not less than one (1) month of gross revenue from the Property and with a deductible not greater than Fifty Thousand and No/100 Dollars ($50,000), if applicable;
(xi) if “acts of terrorism” or other similar acts or events or “fire following” are hereafter excluded from Borrower’s comprehensive all risk insurance policy or policies required under Sections 5.1.1(a)(i) and 5.1.1(a)(iii) above, Borrower shall obtain an endorsement to such policy or policies, or a separate policy from an insurance provider which maintains at least an investment grade rating from (1) S&P (that is, “BBB-”), and (2) if Fitch and/or Xxxxx’x has been designated by Lender in connection with the Securitization and such Rating Agency also rates the insurer, Fitch (that is, “BBB-”) and Xxxxx’x (that is, “Baa3”), as applicable, insuring against all such excluded acts or events and “fire following,” to the extent such policy or endorsement is available, in an amount determined by Lender in its sole discretion (but in no event more than an amount equal to the sum of 100% of the “Full Replacement Cost” and twelve (12) months business interruption insurance); provided, such endorsement or policy shall be in form and substance satisfactory to Lender. Notwithstanding the foregoing, for so long as the Terrorism Risk Insurance Act of 2002, as extended and modified by the Terrorism Risk Insurance Program Reauthorization Act of 2007 (“TRIPRA”) is in effect (including any extensions thereof or if another federal governmental program is in effect relating to “acts of terrorism” which provides substantially similar protections as TRIPRA), Lender shall accept terrorism insurance which covers against “covered acts” as defined by TRIPRA (or such other program) as full compliance with this Section 5.1.1(a)(xi) as it relates to the risks that are required to be covered hereunder but only in the event that TRIPRA (or such other program) continues to cover both domestic and foreign acts of terrorism; and
-68-
(xii) upon sixty (60) days’ notice, such other reasonable insurance and in such reasonable amounts as Lender from time to time may reasonably request against such other insurable hazards which at the time are commonly insured against for property similar to the Property located in or around the region in which the applicable Individual Property is located.
(b) All insurance provided for in Section 5.1.1(a) above shall be obtained under valid and enforceable policies (collectively, the “Policies” or, in the singular, the “Policy”) and, to the extent not specified above, shall be subject to the approval of Lender as to deductibles, loss payees and insureds; provided, that, Lender shall not require deductibles which are less than deductibles commonly maintained for property similar to the Property and located in or around the region in which the applicable Individual Property is located. Not less than ten (10) days prior to the expiration dates of the Policies theretofore furnished to Lender, certificates of insurance satisfactory to Lender evidencing the Policies accompanied by evidence satisfactory to Lender of payment of the premiums then due thereunder (the “Insurance Premiums”), shall be delivered by Borrower to Lender.
(c) Any blanket insurance Policy (which may include coverage required under Section 5.1.1(a)(xi)) above shall provide the same protection as would a separate Policy insuring only the applicable Individual Property in compliance with the provisions of Section 5.1.1(a) above. Without limitation of any provision hereof, Lender’s consent required hereunder with respect to any blanket policy shall include the schedule of locations and values with respect to the same.
(d) All Policies of insurance provided for or contemplated by Section 5.1.1(a) above shall be primary coverage and, except for the Policy referenced in Section 5.1.1(a)(v) above, shall name Borrower as the insured and Lender and its successors and/or assigns as the additional insured, as its interests may appear, and in the case of property damage, boiler and machinery, flood, earthquake and terrorism insurance, shall contain a so-called standard non-contributing mortgagee clause in favor of Lender providing that the loss thereunder shall be payable to Lender. Borrower shall not procure or permit any of its constituent entities to procure any other insurance coverage which would be on the same level of payment as the Policies or would adversely impact in any way the ability of Lender or Borrower to collect any proceeds under any of the Policies.
(e) All Policies of insurance provided for in Section 5.1.1(a) above, except for the Policies referenced in Section 5.1.1(a)(v) and (a)(viii) above 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 failure to comply with the provisions of any Policy, which might otherwise result in a forfeiture of the insurance or any part thereof, shall in any way affect the validity or enforceability of the insurance insofar as Lender is concerned;
(ii) the Policy shall not be canceled without at least thirty (30) days’ written notice to Lender and any other party named therein as an additional insured and, if
-69-
obtainable by Borrower using commercially reasonable efforts, shall not be materially changed (other than to increase the coverage provided thereby) without such a thirty (30) day notice;
(iii) Lender shall not be liable for any Insurance Premiums thereon or subject to any assessments thereunder; and
(iv) the Policies shall not exclude coverage for acts of terror or similar acts of sabotage.
(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 and all premiums or other expenses 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 Security Instrument and shall bear interest at the Default Rate.
(g) In the event of foreclosure of the Security Instrument 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.
5.1.2 Insurance Company. The Policies shall be issued by financially sound and responsible insurance companies and having an insurer financial strength rating of “A-” or better by S&P and Fitch and/or an insurer financial strength rating of “A2” by Xxxxx’x. If a Securitization occurs, (i) the foregoing required insurance company rating by a Rating Agency not designated by Lender in connection with such Securitization shall be disregarded and (ii) if the insurance company complies with the aforesaid S&P required rating (and S&P is designated by Lender in connection with such Securitization) and the other Rating Agencies designated by Lender in connection with such Securitization do not rate the insurance company, such insurance company shall be deemed acceptable by such Rating Agency not rating such insurance company. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Borrower shall be permitted to maintain the Policies with insurance companies which do not meet the foregoing requirements (an “Otherwise Rated Insurer”), provided Borrower obtains a “cut-through” endorsement (that is, an endorsement which permits recovery against the provider of such endorsement) with respect to any Otherwise Rated Insurer from an insurance company which meets the insurer financial strength ratings required above. Moreover, if Borrower desires to maintain insurance required hereunder from an insurance company which does not meet the insurer financial strength ratings set forth herein but the parent of such insurance company, which owns at least fifty-one percent (51%) of such insurance company, maintains such ratings, Borrower may use such insurance companies if approved by the Rating Agencies (such approval may be conditioned on items required by the Rating Agencies including a requirement that the parent guarantee the obligations of such insurance company). Lender hereby acknowledges that, as of the date hereof, the insurance certificates and coverages maintained by Borrower satisfy the requirements of this Section 5.1.
-70-
Section 5.2 Casualty and Condemnation.
5.2.1 Casualty. If any Individual Property shall sustain a Casualty, Borrower shall give prompt notice of such Casualty to Lender and shall promptly commence and diligently prosecute to completion the repair and restoration of such Individual Property as nearly as possible to the condition such Individual Property was in immediately prior to such Casualty (a “Restoration”) and otherwise in accordance with Section 5.3 hereof, it being understood, however, that Borrower shall not be obligated to restore such Individual Property to the precise condition of such Individual Property prior to such Casualty provided such Individual Property is restored, to the extent practicable, to be of at least equal value and of substantially the same character as prior to the Casualty. 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 the event of a Casualty where the loss does not exceed Restoration Threshold for such Individual Property, Borrower may settle and adjust such claim; provided that (a) no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and (b) such adjustment is carried out in a commercially reasonable and timely manner. In the event of a Casualty where the loss exceeds the Restoration Threshold for such Individual Property or if an Event of Default then exists, Borrower may settle and adjust such claim only with the consent of Lender (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed) and Lender shall have the opportunity to participate, at Borrower’s cost, in any such adjustments. Notwithstanding any Casualty, 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.
5.2.2 Condemnation. Borrower shall give Lender prompt notice of any actual or threatened Condemnation by any Governmental Authority of all or any part of any Individual Property and shall deliver to Lender a copy of any and all papers served in connection with such proceedings. Provided no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, in the event of a Condemnation where the amount of the taking does not exceed the Restoration Threshold with respect to an Individual Property, Borrower may settle and compromise such Condemnation; provided that the same is effected in a commercially reasonable and timely manner. In the event of a Condemnation where the amount of the taking exceeds the Restoration Threshold for such Individual Property or if an Event of Default then exists, Borrower may settle and compromise such Condemnation only with the consent of Lender (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed) and Lender shall have the opportunity to participate, at Borrower’s cost, in any litigation and settlement discussions in respect thereof and Borrower shall from time to time deliver to Lender all instruments requested by Lender 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 Condemnation, 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. Lender shall not be limited to the interest paid on the Award by any Governmental 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 Individual Property or any portion thereof is taken by any Governmental Authority, Borrower shall promptly commence and diligently prosecute the Restoration of such Individual Property and otherwise comply with the provisions of Section 5.3 hereof. If such Individual 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.
-71-
5.2.3 Casualty Proceeds. Notwithstanding the last sentence of Section 5.1.1(a)(iii) above and provided no Event of Default exists hereunder, proceeds received by Lender on account of the business interruption insurance specified in Section 5.1.1(a)(iii) above with respect to any Casualty shall be deposited by Lender directly into the Deposit Account (as defined in the Cash Management Agreement) but (a) only to the extent it reflects a replacement for (i) lost Rents that would have been due under Leases existing on the date of such Casualty, and/or (ii) lost Rents under Leases that had not yet been executed and delivered at the time of such Casualty which Borrower has proven to the insurance company would have been due under such Leases (and then only to the extent such proceeds disbursed by the insurance company reflect a replacement for such past due Rents) and (b) only to the extent necessary to fully make the disbursements required by Section 5(b)(i) through (viii) of the Cash Management Agreement). All other such proceeds shall be held by Lender and disbursed in accordance with Section 5.3 hereof.
Section 5.3 Delivery of Net Proceeds.
5.3.1 Minor Casualty or Condemnation. If a Casualty or Condemnation has occurred to any Individual Property and the Net Proceeds shall be less than the Restoration Threshold for such Individual Property and the costs of completing the Restoration shall be less than the Restoration Threshold for such Individual Property, and provided the conditions set forth in Section 5.3.2(a)(i) through (x) below have been met, the Net Proceeds will be disbursed by Lender to Borrower. Promptly after receipt of the Net Proceeds, Borrower shall commence and satisfactorily complete with due diligence the Restoration with respect to such Individual Property in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. If any Net Proceeds are received by Borrower and may be retained by Borrower pursuant to the terms hereof, such Net Proceeds shall, until completion of the Restoration of the applicable Individual Property, be held in trust for Lender and shall be segregated from other funds of Borrower to be used to pay for the cost of Restoration of the applicable Individual Property in accordance with the terms hereof. Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything to the contrary contained herein, in the event that, in accordance with the applicable terms and conditions hereof, the Condemnation Net Proceeds are required to be applied to the principal amount of the Debt and the amount of the Condemnation Net Proceeds applied to the principal amount of the Debt in connection therewith are insufficient under REMIC Requirements because such Condemnation Net Proceeds (or a portion thereof) are paid to or held by a Person other than Lender, Borrower shall, within five (5) days of demand by Lender, prepay the principal amount of the Debt in an amount equal to such insufficiency pursuant to such REMIC Requirements plus the amount of any interest that would have accrued on such amounts through the next Monthly Payment Date (such payment, the “Condemnation Payment”).
5.3.2 Major Casualty or Condemnation.
(a) If a Casualty or Condemnation has occurred to any Individual Property and the Net Proceeds are equal to or greater than the Restoration Threshold for such Individual Property or the costs of completing the Restoration of the applicable Individual Property is
-72-
equal to or greater than the Restoration Threshold for such Individual Property, Lender shall make the Net Proceeds available for the Restoration of the applicable Individual Property, provided that each of the following conditions are met:
(i) no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing;
(ii) (A) in the event the Net Proceeds are insurance proceeds, less than thirty percent (30%) of each of the (i) fair market value of such Individual Property as reasonably determined by Lender and (ii) rentable area of such Individual Property has been damaged, destroyed or rendered unusable as a result of such Casualty or (B) in the event the Net Proceeds are an Award, less than fifteen percent (15%) of each of the (i) fair market value of such Individual Property as reasonably determined by Lender, and (ii) rentable area of such Individual Property has been taken, and such land is located along the perimeter or periphery of such Individual Property, and no portion of the Improvements is the subject of the Condemnation,
(iii) Leases requiring payment of annual rent equal to eighty percent (80%) of the Operating Income received by Borrower with respect to such Individual Property during the twelve (12) month period immediately preceding the Casualty or Condemnation and all Major Leases and any REAs with respect to such Individual Property shall remain in full force and effect during and after the completion of the Restoration without abatement of rent beyond the time required for Restoration of such Individual Property, notwithstanding the occurrence of such Casualty or Condemnation;
(iv) Borrower shall commence the Restoration of the applicable Individual Property as soon as reasonably practicable (but in no event later than sixty (60) days after such Casualty or Condemnation, whichever the case may be, occurs) and shall diligently pursue the same to satisfactory completion;

(vi) Lender shall be satisfied that the Restoration of the applicable Individual Property will be completed on or before the earliest to occur of (A) the date six (6) months prior to the Maturity Date, (B) the earliest date required for such completion under the terms of any Major Lease, Material Agreement and REA applicable to the applicable Individual Property, (C) such time as may be required under applicable Legal Requirements in order to repair and restore such Individual 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 (D) the expiration of the insurance coverage referred to in Section 5.1.1(a)(iii) hereof;
(vii) such Individual Property and the use thereof after the Restoration will be in compliance with and permitted under all applicable Legal Requirements and any Major Lease, Franchise Agreement, Material Agreement, and REA applicable to the applicable Individual Property;
-73-
(viii) the Restoration of the applicable Individual Property shall be done and completed by Borrower in an expeditious and diligent fashion and in compliance with all applicable Legal Requirements and the requirements of any Major Lease, Franchise Agreement, Material Agreement and REA applicable to the applicable Individual Property;
(ix) such Casualty or Condemnation, as applicable, does not result in the loss of access to such Individual Property or the related Improvements; and
(x) with respect to a Condemnation, Lender shall be satisfied that making the Net Proceeds available for Restoration of the applicable Individual Property shall be permitted pursuant to REMIC Requirements.
(b) The Net Proceeds shall be paid directly to Lender and held by Lender in an interest-bearing account and, until disbursed in accordance with the provisions of this Section 5.3.2, shall constitute additional security for the Debt. 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 requirements set forth in Section 5.3.2(a) hereof have been satisfied, (B) all materials installed and work and labor performed (except to the extent that they are to be paid for out of the requested disbursement) in connection with the Restoration have been paid for in full, and (C) there exist no notices of pendency, stop orders, mechanic’s or materialman’s liens or notices of intention to file same, or any other liens or encumbrances of any nature whatsoever on such Individual Property arising out of the Restoration 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.
(c) All plans and specifications required in connection with the Restoration shall be subject to prior approval of Lender and an independent architect selected by Lender (the “Casualty Consultant”). The plans and specifications shall require that the Restoration of the applicable Individual Property be completed in a first-class workmanlike manner at least equivalent to the quality and character of the original work in the Improvements on such Individual Property (provided, however, that in the case of a partial Condemnation, the Restoration of such Individual Property shall be done to the extent reasonably practicable after taking into account the consequences of such partial Condemnation), so that upon completion thereof, such Individual Property shall be at least equal in value and general utility to such Individual Property prior to the damage or destruction; it being understood, however, that Borrower shall not be obligated to restore such Individual Property to the precise condition of such Individual Property prior to such Casualty provided such Individual Property is restored, to the extent practicable, to be of at least equal value and of substantially the same character as prior to the Casualty. Borrower shall restore all Improvements on such Individual Property such that when they are fully restored and/or repaired, such Improvements and their contemplated use fully comply with all applicable material Legal Requirements and the requirements of any Major Lease and the REAs. The identity of the contractors,
-74-
subcontractors and materialmen engaged in the Restoration, as well as the contracts under which they have been engaged, shall be subject to approval of Lender and the Casualty Consultant. All costs and expenses incurred by Lender in connection with recovering, holding and advancing the Net Proceeds for the Restoration including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements and the Casualty Consultant’s fees and disbursements, shall be paid by Borrower.
(d) 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, less the Casualty Retainage. The term “Casualty Retainage” shall mean, as to each contractor, subcontractor or materialman engaged in the Restoration, 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 5.3.2(d), 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 5.3.2(d) and that all approvals necessary for the re-occupancy and use of such Individual Property have been obtained from all appropriate Governmental Authorities, and Lender receives evidence satisfactory to Lender that the costs of the Restoration have been paid in full or will be paid in full out of the 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 Security Instrument 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.
(e) Lender shall not be obligated to make disbursements of the Net Proceeds more frequently than once every calendar month.
(f) If at any time the Net Proceeds or the undisbursed balance thereof shall not, in the opinion of Lender in consultation with the Casualty Consultant, be sufficient to pay in full the balance of the costs which are estimated by the Casualty Consultant to be incurred in connection with the completion of the Restoration with respect to such Individual Property, Borrower shall deposit the deficiency (the “Net Proceeds Deficiency”) with Lender before any further disbursement of the Net Proceeds shall be made. The Net Proceeds Deficiency deposited with Lender shall be held by Lender and shall be disbursed for costs actually incurred in connection with the Restoration of such Individual Property on the same conditions applicable to the disbursement of the Net Proceeds, and until so disbursed pursuant to this Section 5.3.2 shall constitute additional security for the Debt.
-75-
(g) The excess, if any, of the Net Proceeds and the remaining balance, if any, of the Net Proceeds Deficiency deposited with Lender after the Casualty Consultant certifies to Lender that the Restoration has been completed in accordance with the provisions of this Section 5.3.2, and the receipt by Lender of evidence satisfactory to Lender that all costs incurred in connection with the Restoration have been paid in full, shall be remitted by Lender to Borrower, provided no Event of Default shall have occurred and shall be continuing under any of the Loan Documents; provided, however, the amount of such excess returned to Borrower in the case of a Condemnation shall not exceed the amount of Net Proceeds Deficiency deposited by Borrower with the balance being applied to the Debt in the manner provided for in Section 5.3.2(h) hereof.
(h) All Net Proceeds not required (i) to be made available for the Restoration or (ii) to be returned to Borrower as excess Net Proceeds pursuant to Section 5.3.2(g) hereof may be retained and applied by Lender toward the payment of the Debt, whether or not then due and payable, in such order, priority and proportions as Lender in its sole discretion shall deem proper, or, at the discretion of Lender, the same may be paid, either in whole or in part, to Borrower for such purposes as Lender shall designate.

From and after the Permitted Transfer Date, Lender shall not unreasonably withhold consent to a Property Sale.

(b) Borrower gives Lender written notice of the terms of such prospective Property Sale not less than thirty (30) days before the date on which such Property Sale is scheduled to close and, concurrently therewith, gives Lender all such information concerning the proposed transferee of the Property (hereinafter, “Buyer”) as Lender would reasonably require in evaluating an initial extension of credit to a borrower and pays as a condition to evaluating any requested consent to a transfer, a cash deposit with Lender in an amount equal to Lender’s anticipated costs and expenses in evaluating any such requests for such consent. Lender shall have the right to approve or disapprove the proposed Buyer (such approval to be in Lender’s sole and absolute discretion prior to the Permitted Transfer Date and such approval not to be unreasonably withheld on and after the Permitted Transfer Date). In determining whether to give or withhold its approval of the proposed Buyer, Lender shall consider Buyer’s experience and track record in owning and operating facilities similar to the Property, Buyer’s financial strength, Buyer’s general business standing and Buyer’s relationships and experience with contractors, vendors, tenants, lenders and other business entities; provided, however, that, notwithstanding Lender’s agreement to consider the foregoing factors in determining whether to give or withhold such approval, such approval shall be given or withheld based on what Lender determines to be commercially reasonable and, if given, may be given subject to such conditions as Lender may deem reasonably appropriate;
(c) Borrower pays Lender, concurrently with the closing of such Property Sale, (i) a non-refundable assumption fee in an amount equal to all out-of-pocket costs and expenses, including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees, incurred by Lender in connection with the Property Sale plus an amount equal to one percent (1.0%) of the then outstanding principal balance of the Note, and (ii) all costs and expenses of all third parties and Rating Agencies in connection with the Property Sale;
(d) Buyer assumes and agrees to pay the Debt as and when due (subject to the provisions of Section 11.22 hereof) and, prior to or concurrently with the closing of such Property Sale, Buyer and its constituent partners, members or shareholders as Lender may reasonably require execute, without any cost or expense to Lender, such documents and agreements as Lender shall reasonably require to evidence and effectuate said assumption, including, without limitation, the execution and delivery by an Affiliate of such Buyer, acceptable to Lender, of a recourse guaranty and environmental indemnity in form and substance identical to the Guaranty and the Environmental Indemnity Agreement, respectively, together with such legal opinions, certifications, and acknowledgements as may be reasonably requested by Lender;
-83-
(e) Borrower and Buyer, without any cost to Lender, furnish any information requested by Lender for the preparation of, and shall authorize Lender to file, new financing statements and financing statement amendments and other documents to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, and shall execute any additional documents reasonably requested by Lender;
(f) Borrower delivers to Lender, without any cost or expense to Lender, such endorsements to Lender’s title insurance policy, hazard insurance endorsements or certificates and other similar materials as Lender may deem necessary at the time of the Property Sale, all in form and substance satisfactory to Lender, including, without limitation, an endorsement or endorsements to Lender’s title insurance policy or policies insuring the lien of the Security Instrument insuring that fee or leasehold title, as applicable, to the Property is vested in Buyer;
(g) Buyer furnishes, if Buyer is a corporation, partnership or other entity, all appropriate papers evidencing Buyer’s capacity and good standing, and the qualification of the signers to execute the assumption of the Debt, which papers shall include certified copies of all documents relating to the organization and formation of Buyer and of the entities, if any, which are partners or members of Buyer. Buyer and such constituent partners, members or shareholders of Buyer (as the case may be), as Lender shall require, shall be single purpose, “bankruptcy remote” entities which satisfy the requirements of Section 3.1.24 hereof and the requirements of the Rating Agencies (provided, however, such Buyer shall not be a Delaware Statutory Trust or tenancy-in-common), and whose formation documents shall be approved by counsel to Lender;
(h) Buyer assumes the obligations of Operating Lessee under any management agreements pertaining to each Individual Property or assigns to Lender as additional security any new management agreement entered into in connection with such Property Sale, which such new management agreement and the new manager thereunder shall each comply with the requirements of Article 7 hereof;
(i) Buyer furnishes a New Non-Consolidation Opinion with respect to Buyer and certain of Buyer’s Affiliates, and certain other opinions of counsel satisfactory to Lender and its counsel (A) that Buyer’s formation documents provide for the matters described in subparagraph (g) above, (B) that the assumption of the indebtedness evidenced hereby has been duly authorized, executed and delivered, and that the Note, the Security Instrument, this Agreement, the assumption agreement and the other Loan Documents are valid, binding and enforceable against Buyer in accordance with their terms, (C) that the transfer and assumption by Buyer will not constitute a “significant modification” of the Loan under Section 1001 of the Code or otherwise cause a tax to be imposed on a “prohibited transaction” by any REMIC Trust, and (D) with respect to such other matters as Lender may reasonably request;
(j) If required by Lender, Lender receives a Rating Agency Confirmation with respect to the Property Sale and the transactions contemplated hereby; and
-84-
(k) Borrower’s obligations under the contract of Property Sale pursuant to which the Property Sale is proposed to occur are expressly subject to the satisfaction of the terms and conditions of this Section.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, Lender shall not be required to consent to any Property Sale occurring prior to a Securitization or participation of the Loan if the consideration to be paid by Buyer as determined by Lender is less than the appraised value of the Property as determined by Lender in connection with the underwriting of the Loan.

Section 8.3 Easements.
Lender shall not unreasonably withhold, condition or delay its consent to Borrower’s granting of or entering into reasonable easements in the ordinary course of Borrower’s business for traffic circulation, ingress, egress, parking, access, utility lines or for other similar purposes; provided, that, in each case or taken as a whole, the same do not have a Material Adverse Effect.
IX. | SALE AND SECURITIZATION OF LOAN |
Section 9.1 Sale of Loan and Securitization.
(a) Lender shall have the right (i) to sell or otherwise transfer the Loan or any portion thereof as a whole loan, (ii) to sell participation interests in the Loan or (iii) to securitize the Loan or any portion thereof in a single asset securitization or a pooled loan securitization. (The transaction referred to in clauses (i), (ii) and (iii) shall hereinafter be referred to collectively as “Secondary Market Transactions” and the transactions referred to in clause (iii) shall hereinafter be referred to as a “Securitization.” Any certificates, notes or other securities issued in connection with a Securitization are hereinafter referred to as “Securities.”)
(b) If requested by Lender, Borrower and Operating Lessee shall assist Lender, at Lender’s expense, in satisfying the market standards to which Lender customarily adheres or which may be reasonably required in the marketplace or by the Rating Agencies in connection with any Secondary Market Transactions, including, without limitation, to:
(i) (A) provide updated financial and other information with respect to the Property, the business operated at the Property, Franchisor, Borrower, Operating Lessee, Guarantor, Sponsor, and the Manager, (B) provide updated budgets relating to the Property and (C) provide updated appraisals, market studies, environmental reviews (Phase I’s and, if appropriate, Phase II’s), property condition reports and other due diligence investigations of the Property (the “Updated Information”), together, if customary, with appropriate verification of the Updated Information through letters of auditors or opinions of counsel acceptable to Lender and the Rating Agencies;
(ii) provide opinions of counsel, which may be relied upon by Lender, the Rating Agencies and their respective counsel, agents and representatives, as to non-consolidation, fraudulent conveyance, matters of Delaware and federal bankruptcy law
-86-
relating to single-member limited liability companies, and true sale or any other opinion customary in Secondary Market Transactions or required by the Rating Agencies with respect to the Property and Borrower and Affiliates, which counsel and opinions shall be satisfactory in form and substance to Lender and the Rating Agencies;
(iii) provide updated, as of the closing date of the Secondary Market Transaction, representations and warranties made in the Loan Documents and such additional representations and warranties as the Rating Agencies may require;
(iv) execute such amendments to the Loan Documents and Borrower’s, Operating Lessee’s or any SPC Party’s organizational documents as may be reasonably requested by Lender or requested by the Rating Agencies or otherwise to effect the Securitization including, without limitation, bifurcation of the Loan into two or more components and/or separate notes and/or creating a senior/subordinate note structure (any of the foregoing, a “Loan Bifurcation”); provided, however, that neither Borrower nor Operating Lessee shall be required to modify or amend any Loan Document if such modification or amendment would (A) change the interest rate, the stated maturity or the amortization of principal as set forth herein or in the Note, or (B) modify or amend any other material economic term of the Loan Agreement or the Note, except in connection with a Loan Bifurcation which may result in varying fixed interest rates and amortization schedules, but which shall have the same initial weighted average coupon of the original Note. In the event either Borrower or Operating Lessee fails to execute and deliver such documents to Lender within five (5) Business Days following such request by Lender, each of Borrower and Operating Lessee 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 such transactions, Borrower and Operating Lessee, as applicable, ratifying all that such attorney shall do by virtue thereof. It shall be an Event of Default under this Agreement, the Note, the Security Instrument and the other Loan Documents if Borrower fails to comply with any of the terms, covenants or conditions of this Section 9.1(b)(iv) after expiration of ten (10) Business Days after notice thereof; and
(v) at any time prior to a Secondary Market Transaction, execute such amendments to the Loan Documents as requested by the Lender, in its discretion, to extend the Maturity Date to a Payment Date no more than three (3) months beyond the initial Maturity Date set forth herein (the “Extended Maturity Date”). In connection with such amendment, the defined term “Maturity Date” shall then be replaced with the term “Extended Maturity Date,” the time period in clause (i) of the definition of “Release Date” shall be extended by the same period between the initial Maturity Date and the Extended Maturity Date, and the “Permitted Prepayment Date” shall be extended by the same period between the initial Maturity Date and the Extended Maturity Date together with such corresponding changes to other defined terms herein as reasonably requested by Lender.
(c) If, at the time one or more Disclosure Documents are being prepared for a Securitization, Lender expects that Borrower alone or Borrower and one or more Affiliates of Borrower collectively, or the Properties alone or the Properties and Related Properties
-87-
collectively, will be a Significant Obligor, Borrower shall furnish to Lender upon request (i) the selected financial data or, if applicable, Net Operating Income, required under Item 1112(b)(1) of Regulation AB, if Lender expects that the principal amount of the Loan together with any Related Loans as of the cut-off date for such Securitization may, or if the principal amount of the Loan together with any Related Loans as of the cut-off date for such Securitization and at any time during which the Loan and any Related Loans are included in a Securitization does, equal or exceed ten percent (10%) (but less than twenty percent (20%)) of the aggregate principal amount of all mortgage loans included or expected to be included, as applicable, in the Securitization or (ii) the financial statements required under Item 1112(b)(2) of Regulation AB, if Lender expects that the principal amount of the Loan together with any Related Loans as of the cut-off date for such Securitization may, or if the principal amount of the Loan together with any Related Loans as of the cut-off date for such Securitization and at any time during which the Loan and any Related Loans are included in a Securitization does, equal or exceed twenty percent (20%) of the aggregate principal amount of all mortgage loans included or expected to be included, as applicable, in the Securitization. Such financial data or financial statements shall be furnished to Lender (A) within ten (10) Business Days after notice from Lender in connection with the preparation of Disclosure Documents for the Securitization, (B) not later than sixty (60) days after the end of each fiscal quarter of Borrower in accordance with applicable Legal Requirements and (C) not later than one hundred twenty (120) days after the end of each fiscal year of Borrower in accordance with applicable Legal Requirements; provided, however, that Borrower shall not be obligated to furnish financial data or financial statements pursuant to clauses (B) or (C) of this sentence with respect to any period for which a filing pursuant to the Exchange Act in connection with or relating to the Securitization (an “Exchange Act Filing”) is not required. If requested by Lender, Borrower shall furnish to Lender financial data and/or financial statements for any tenant of any of the Properties if, in connection with a Securitization, Lender expects there to be, with respect to such tenant or group of affiliated tenants, a concentration within all of the mortgage loans included or expected to be included, as applicable, in the Securitization such that such tenant or group of affiliated tenants would constitute a Significant Obligor.
(d) All financial data and financial statements provided by Borrower hereunder pursuant to Section 9.1(c) and (d) hereof shall be prepared in accordance with the Approved Accounting Method, and shall meet the requirements of Regulation AB and other applicable legal requirements. All financial statements referred to in Section 9.1(c) above shall be audited by independent accountants of Borrower acceptable to Lender in accordance with Regulation AB and all other applicable legal requirements, shall be accompanied by the manually executed report of the independent accountants thereon, which report shall meet the requirements of Regulation AB and all other applicable legal requirements, and shall be further accompanied by a manually executed written consent of the independent accountants, in form and substance acceptable to Lender, to the inclusion of such financial statements in any Disclosure Document and any Exchange Act Filing and to the use of the name of such independent accountants and the reference to such independent accountants as “experts” in any Disclosure Document and Exchange Act Filing, all of which shall be provided at the same time as the related financial statements are required to be provided. All financial data and financial statements (audited or unaudited) provided by Borrower under Section 9.1(c) hereof shall be accompanied by an Officer’s Certificate which shall state that such financial statements meet the requirements set forth in the first sentence of this Section 9.1(d).
-88-
(e) If requested by Lender, Borrower shall provide Lender, promptly upon request, with any other or additional financial statements, or financial, statistical or operating information, as Lender shall determine to be required pursuant to Regulation AB or any amendment, modification or replacement thereto or other legal requirements in connection with any Disclosure Document or any Exchange Act Filing or as shall otherwise be reasonably requested by Lender.
(f) In the event Lender determines, in connection with a Securitization, that the financial data and financial statements required in order to comply with Regulation AB or any amendment, modification or replacement thereto or other legal requirements are other than as provided herein, then notwithstanding the provisions of Section 9.1(c) and (d) hereof, Lender may request, and Borrower shall promptly provide, such other financial statements as Lender determines to be necessary or appropriate for such compliance.
Section 9.2 Securitization Indemnification.
(a) Borrower understands that information provided to Lender by Borrower, Operating Lessee and their agents, counsel and representatives may be included in disclosure documents in connection with the Securitization, including, without limitation, an offering circular, a prospectus, prospectus supplement, private placement memorandum or other offering document (each, a “Disclosure Document”) and may also be included in filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), or the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), and may be made available to investors or prospective investors in the Securities, the Rating Agencies, and service providers relating to the Securitization.
(b) Borrower shall provide in connection with each of (i) a preliminary and a final private placement memorandum or (ii) a preliminary and final prospectus or prospectus supplement, as applicable, an agreement (A) certifying that Borrower has examined such Disclosure Documents specified by Lender and that each such Disclosure Document, as it relates to Borrower, Operating Lessee, Borrower Affiliates, the Property, Franchisor (as it relates to the Property), Manager (as it relates to the Property), Sponsor, Guarantor, and all other aspects of the Loan (the “Relevant Sections”), does not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements made, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, (B) indemnifying Lender (and for purposes of this Section 9.2, Lender hereunder shall include its officers and directors), the Affiliate of Xxxxxx Xxxxxxx that has filed the registration statement relating to the Securitization (the “Registration Statement”), each of its directors, each of its officers who have signed the Registration Statement and each Person that controls the Affiliate within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act (collectively, the “Xxxxxx Xxxxxxx Group”), and Xxxxxx Xxxxxxx, and any other placement agent or underwriter with respect to the Securitization, each of their respective directors and each Person who controls Xxxxxx Xxxxxxx or any other placement agent or underwriter within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act and Section 20 of the Exchange Act (collectively, the “Underwriter Group”) for any losses, claims, damages or liabilities (collectively, the “Liabilities”) to which Lender, the Xxxxxx Xxxxxxx Group or the Underwriter Group may become subject insofar as the Liabilities arise out of or are based upon
-89-
any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of any material fact contained in the Relevant Sections or arise out of or are based upon the omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated in the Relevant Sections or necessary in order to make the statements in the Relevant Sections, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading and (C) agreeing to reimburse Lender, the Xxxxxx Xxxxxxx Group and/or the Underwriter Group for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by Lender, the Xxxxxx Xxxxxxx Group and the Underwriter Group in connection with investigating or defending the Liabilities; provided, however, that Borrower will be liable in any such case under clauses (B) or (C) above only to the extent that any such loss claim, damage or liability arises out of or is based upon any such untrue statement or omission made therein in reliance upon and in conformity with information furnished to Lender by or on behalf of Borrower or Operating Lessee in connection with the preparation of the Disclosure Document or in connection with the underwriting or closing of the Loan, including, without limitation, financial statements of Borrower, operating statements and rent rolls with respect to the Property (collectively, the “Provided Information”). The indemnification provided in clauses (B) and (C) above shall be effective whether or not the indemnification agreement described above is provided to Borrower or Guarantor; provided, however, such indemnity shall be limited to the Provided Information and shall only be effective to the extent that Lender accurately states the Provided Information in the applicable Disclosure Document. The aforesaid indemnity agreement will be in addition to any liability which Borrower may otherwise have.
(c) In connection with Exchange Act Filings, Borrower shall (i) indemnify Lender, the Xxxxxx Xxxxxxx Group and the Underwriter Group for Liabilities to which Lender, the Xxxxxx Xxxxxxx Group or the Underwriter Group may become subject insofar as the Liabilities arise out of or are based upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of any material fact in the Relevant Sections of the Disclosure Document or upon the omission or alleged omission to state in the Disclosure Document a material fact required to be stated in the Disclosure Document in order to make the statements in the Disclosure Document related to Relevant Sections, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading and (ii) reimburse Lender, the Xxxxxx Xxxxxxx Group or the Underwriter Group for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by Lender, the Xxxxxx Xxxxxxx Group or the Underwriter Group in connection with defending or investigating the Liabilities.
(d) Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party under this Section 9.2 of notice of the commencement of any action, such indemnified party will, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against the indemnifying party under this Section 9.2, notify the indemnifying party in writing of the commencement thereof, but the omission to so notify the indemnifying party will not relieve the indemnifying party from any liability which the indemnifying party may have to any indemnified party hereunder except to the extent that failure to notify causes prejudice to the indemnifying party. In the event that any action is brought against any indemnified party, and it notifies the indemnifying party of the commencement thereof, the indemnifying party will be entitled, jointly with any other indemnifying party, to participate therein and, to the extent that it (or they) may elect by written notice delivered to the indemnified party promptly after receiving the aforesaid notice from such indemnified party, to assume the defense thereof with counsel satisfactory to such indemnified party. After notice from the indemnifying party to such indemnified party under this Section 9.2, such indemnified party shall pay for any legal or other expenses subsequently
-90-
incurred by such indemnified party in connection with the defense thereof other than reasonable costs of investigation; provided, however, if the defendants in any such action include both the indemnified party and the indemnifying party and the indemnified party shall have reasonably concluded that there are any legal defenses available to it and/or other indemnified parties that are different from or additional to those available to the indemnifying party, the indemnified party or parties shall have the right to select separate counsel to assert such legal defenses and to otherwise participate in the defense of such action on behalf of such indemnified party at the cost of the indemnifying party. The indemnifying party shall not be liable for the expenses of more than one separate counsel unless an indemnified party shall have reasonably concluded that there may be legal defenses available to it that are different from or additional to those available to another indemnified party.
(e) In order to provide for just and equitable contribution in circumstances in which the indemnity agreement provided for in Section 9.2(b) or (c) hereof is for any reason held to be unenforceable as to an indemnified party in respect of any losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or action in respect thereof) referred to therein which would otherwise be indemnifiable under Section 9.2(b) or (c) hereof, the indemnifying party shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by the indemnified party as a result of such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or action in respect thereof); provided, however, that no Person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any Person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation. In determining the amount of contribution to which the respective parties are entitled, the following factors shall be considered: (i) Xxxxxx Xxxxxxx’x and Borrower’s relative knowledge and access to information concerning the matter with respect to which the claim was asserted; (ii) the opportunity to correct and prevent any statement or omission; and (iii) any other equitable considerations appropriate in the circumstances. Lender and Borrower hereby agree that it would not be equitable if the amount of such contribution were determined by pro rata or per capita allocation.
(f) Borrower shall indemnify Lender and its officers, directors, partners, employees, representatives, agents and Affiliates against any Losses to which Lender or its officers, directors, partners, employees, representatives, agents and Affiliates, may become subject in connection with any indemnification to the Rating Agencies in connection with issuing, monitoring or maintaining the Securities insofar as the Losses arise out of or are based upon any untrue statement of any material fact in any information provided by or on behalf of Borrower to the Rating Agencies (the “Covered Rating Agency Information”) or arise out of or are based upon the omission to state a material fact in the Covered Rating Agency Information required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements in Covered Rating Agency Information, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading.
(g) The liabilities and obligations of both Borrower and Lender under this Section 9.2 shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the satisfaction and discharge of the Debt.

Borrower shall cooperate with Lender in Lender’s exercise of the Mezzanine Option in good faith and in a timely manner, which such cooperation shall include, but not be limited to, (i) executing such amendments to the Loan Documents and Borrower’s, Operating Lessee’s or any SPC Party’s organizational documents as may be reasonably requested by Lender or requested by the Rating Agencies, (ii) creating a single purpose, bankruptcy remote entity satisfying the requirements of Section 3.1.24 hereof and of the Rating Agencies (the “Mezzanine Borrower”), which such Mezzanine Borrower shall (A) own, directly or indirectly, 100% of the equity ownership interests in Borrower (the “Equity Collateral”), and (B) together with such constituent equity owners of such Mezzanine Borrower as may be designated by Lender, execute such agreements, instruments and other documents as may be required by Lender in connection with the mezzanine loan (including, without limitation, a promissory note evidencing the mezzanine loan and a pledge and security agreement pledging the Equity Collateral to Lender as security for the mezzanine loan); and (iii) delivering such opinions, title endorsements, UCC title insurance policies and other materials as may be required by Lender or the Rating Agencies.

Any such actions taken by Lender shall be cumulative and concurrent and may be pursued independently, singly, successively, together or otherwise, at such time and in such order as Lender may determine in its sole discretion, to the fullest extent permitted by law, without impairing or otherwise affecting the other rights and remedies of Lender permitted by law, equity or contract or as set forth herein or in the other Loan Documents. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, 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 Security Instrument has been foreclosed, sold and/or otherwise realized upon in satisfaction of the Debt or the Debt has been paid in full.
(b) With respect to Borrower, Operating Lessee and the Properties, nothing contained herein or in any other Loan Document shall be construed as requiring Lender to resort to any Individual Property for the satisfaction of any of the Debt in preference or priority to any other Individual Property, and Lender may seek satisfaction out of all of the Properties or any part thereof, in its absolute discretion in respect of the Debt. In addition, Lender shall have the right from time to time to partially foreclose the Security Instruments in any manner and for any amounts secured by the Security Instruments then due and payable as determined by Lender in its sole discretion including, without limitation, the following circumstances: (i) in the event Borrower defaults beyond any applicable grace period in the payment of one or more scheduled payments of principal and interest, Lender may foreclose one or more of the Security Instruments to recover such delinquent payments, or (ii) in the event Lender elects to accelerate less than the entire outstanding principal balance of the Loan, Lender may foreclose one or more of the Security Instruments to recover so much of the principal balance of the Loan as Lender may accelerate and such other sums secured by one or more of the Security Instruments as Lender may elect. Notwithstanding one or more partial foreclosures, the Properties shall remain subject to the Security Instruments to secure payment of sums secured by the Security Instruments and not previously recovered.
(c) Lender shall have the right from time to time to sever the Note and the other Loan Documents into one or more separate notes, mortgages and other security documents (the “Severed Loan Documents”) in such denominations as Lender shall determine in its sole discretion for purposes of evidencing and enforcing its rights and remedies provided hereunder. Borrower shall execute and deliver to Lender from time to time,
-96-
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. Each of Borrower and Operating Lessee 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 and/or Operating Lessee, as applicable, 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 and/or Operating Lessee, as applicable, by Lender of Lender’s intent to exercise its rights under such power. Neither Borrower nor Operating Lessee shall be obligated to pay any costs or expenses incurred in connection with the preparation, execution, recording or filing of the Severed Loan Documents. The Severed Loan Documents shall not contain any representations, warranties or covenants not contained in the Loan Documents and any such representations and warranties contained in the Severed Loan Documents will be given by Borrower only as of the Closing Date.
(d) Any amounts recovered from the Property or any other collateral for the Loan after an Event of Default may be applied by Lender toward the payment of any interest and/or principal of the Loan and/or any other amounts due under the Loan Documents in such order, priority and proportions as Lender in its sole discretion shall determine.
Section 10.3 Right to Cure Defaults.
Lender may, but without any obligation to do so and without notice to or demand on Borrower or Operating Lessee, as applicable, and/or Operating Lessee, as applicable, and without releasing Borrower or Operating Lessee from any obligation hereunder or being deemed to have cured any Event of Default hereunder, make, do or perform any obligation of Borrower or Operating Lessee hereunder in such manner and to such extent as Lender may deem necessary. Lender is authorized to enter upon the Property for such purposes, or appear in, defend, or bring any action or proceeding to protect its interest in the Property for such purposes, and the cost and expense thereof (including reasonable attorneys’ fees to the extent permitted by law), with interest as provided in this Section 10.3, shall constitute a portion of the Debt and shall be due and payable to Lender upon demand. All such costs and expenses incurred by Lender in remedying such Event of Default or such failed payment or act or in appearing in, defending, or bringing any action or proceeding shall bear interest at the Default Rate, for the period after such cost or expense was incurred into the date of payment to Lender. All such costs and expenses incurred by Lender together with interest thereon calculated at the Default Rate shall be deemed to constitute a portion of the Debt and be secured by the liens, claims and security interests provided to Lender under the Loan Documents and shall be immediately due and payable upon demand by Lender therefore.
Section 10.4 Remedies Cumulative.
The rights, powers and remedies of Lender under this Agreement shall be cumulative and not exclusive of any other right, power or remedy which Lender may have against Borrower pursuant to this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, or existing at law or in equity or otherwise. Lender’s rights, powers and remedies may be pursued singly,
-97-
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 or Operating Lessee shall not be construed to be a waiver of any subsequent Default or Event of Default by Borrower or Operating Lessee or to impair any remedy, right or power consequent thereon.

The parties hereto acknowledge that they were represented by competent counsel in connection with the negotiation, drafting and execution of the Loan Documents and that such Loan Documents shall not be subject to the principle of construing their meaning against the party which drafted same. Borrower acknowledges that, with respect to the Loan, Borrower shall rely solely on its own judgment and advisors in entering into the Loan without relying in any manner on any statements, representations or recommendations of Lender or any parent, subsidiary or Affiliate of Lender. Lender shall not be subject to any limitation whatsoever in the exercise of any rights or remedies available to it under any of the Loan Documents or any other agreements or instruments which govern the Loan by virtue of the ownership by it or any parent, subsidiary or Affiliate of Lender of any equity interest any of them may acquire in Borrower, and Borrower hereby irrevocably waives the right to raise any defense or take any action on the basis of the
-107-
foregoing with respect to Lender’s exercise of any such rights or remedies. Borrower acknowledges that Lender engages in the business of real estate financings and other real estate transactions and investments which may be viewed as adverse to or competitive with the business of Borrower or its Affiliates.
Section 11.21 Brokers and Financial Advisors.
Borrower hereby represents that it has dealt with no financial advisors, brokers, underwriters, placement agents, agents or finders in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement other than Keystone Commercial Capital (“Broker”).

The provisions of this Section 11.21 shall survive the expiration and termination of this Agreement and the payment of the Debt.
Section 11.22 Exculpation.
Subject to the qualifications below, Lender shall not enforce the liability and obligation of Borrower or Operating Lessee to perform and observe the obligations contained in the Note, this Agreement, the Security Instrument or the other Loan Documents by any action or proceeding wherein a money judgment or any deficiency judgment or other judgment establishing personal liability shall be sought against Borrower, Operating Lessee or any principal, director, officer, employee, beneficiary, shareholder, partner, member, trustee, agent, or affiliate of Borrower or Operating Lessee (but specifically excluding Guarantor) or any legal representatives, successors or assigns of any of the foregoing (collectively, the “Exculpated Parties”), except that Lender may bring a foreclosure action, an action for specific performance or any other appropriate action or proceeding to enable Lender to enforce and realize upon its interest under the Note, this Agreement, the Security Instrument and the other Loan Documents, or in the Property, the Rents, or any other collateral given to Lender pursuant to the Loan Documents; provided, however, that, except as specifically provided herein, any judgment in any such action or proceeding shall be enforceable against Borrower and/or Operating Lessee only to the extent of Borrower’s or Operating Lessee’s, as applicable, interest in the Property, in the Rents and in any other collateral given to Lender, and Lender, by accepting the Note, this Agreement, the Security Instrument and the other Loan Documents, shall not xxx for, seek or demand any deficiency judgment against Borrower or Operating Lessee or any of the Exculpated Parties, in any such action or proceeding under or by reason of or under or in connection with the Note, this Agreement, the Security Instrument or the other Loan Documents.

-111-
Section 11.23 Prior Agreements.
This Agreement and the other Loan Documents contain the entire agreement of the parties hereto and thereto in respect of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby, and all prior agreements among or between such parties, whether oral or written, including, without limitation, the application letter dated July 13, 2012 (as amended) between Supertel Hospitality REIT Trust, a Maryland trust and Lender, are superseded by the terms of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.

(a) At the option of Lender, the Loan may be serviced by a servicer (the “Servicer”) selected by Lender and Lender may delegate all or any portion of its responsibilities under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents to the Servicer pursuant to a servicing agreement (the “Servicing Agreement”) between Lender and Servicer. Borrower shall be responsible for any reasonable set-up fees or any other initial costs relating to or arising under the Servicing Agreement; provided, however, that Borrower shall not be responsible for payment of the monthly servicing fee due to the Servicer under the Servicing Agreement other than, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of a Cash Sweep Period, a monthly cash management fee equal to $500.00. Servicer shall, however, be entitled to reimbursement of costs and expenses as and to the same extent (but without duplication) as Lender is entitled thereto under the applicable provisions of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.

Notwithstanding any other provision set forth in this Agreement, the Note, the Security Instrument or any of the other Loan Documents, Lender may at any time create a security interest in all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement, the Note, the Security Instrument and any other Loan Document (including, without limitation, the advances owing to it) in favor of any Federal Reserve Bank in accordance with Regulation A of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System.

Section 11.27 Assignments and Participations.
(a) The Lender may assign to one or more Persons all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Loan Agreement.
(b) Lender may sell participations to one or more Persons in or to all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Loan Agreement; provided, however, that (i) Lender’s obligations under this Loan Agreement shall remain unchanged, (ii) Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations, (iii) Lender shall remain the holder of any Note for all purposes of this Loan Agreement and (iv) Borrower shall continue to deal solely and directly with Lender in connection with Lender’s rights and obligations under and in respect of this Loan Agreement and the other Loan Documents.
(c) Lender may, in connection with any assignment or participation or proposed assignment or participation pursuant to this Section 11.27, disclose to the assignee or Participant or proposed assignee or Participant, as the case may be, any information relating to Borrower, Operating Lessee or any of its Affiliates or to any aspect of the Loan that has been furnished to the Lender by or on behalf of the Borrower, Operating Lessee or any of its Affiliates.
(d) Upon such assignment the assignee thereunder shall be a party hereto and, to the extent of the interest assigned by such assignment, have the rights and obligations of Lender under this Agreement.
(e) In connection with any Secondary Market Transaction, including, without limitation, any assignment or participation pursuant to this Section 11.27, at the request of Lender, Borrower shall (i) appoint, as its agent, a registrar and transfer agent (the “Register”) reasonably acceptable to Lender which shall maintain, subject to such reasonable regulations as it shall provide, such books and records as are necessary for the registration and transfer of the Note in a manner that shall cause the Note to be considered to be in registered form for purposes of Section 163(f) of the IRS Code, and (ii) otherwise cooperate with Lender in order to cause the Note to be in registered form pursuant to Section 163(f) of the IRS Code. The option to convert the Note into registered form once exercised may not be revoked. Any agreement setting out the rights and obligation of the Register shall be subject to the reasonable approval of Lender. Borrower may revoke the appointment of any particular person as Register, effective upon the effectiveness of the appointment of a replacement Register, reasonably acceptable to Lender. The Register shall not be entitled to any fee from Borrower or Lender or any other lender in respect of transfers of the Note and other Loan Documents.
Section 11.28 Set-Off.
In addition to any rights and remedies of Lender provided by this Loan Agreement and by law, the Lender shall have the right, without prior notice to Borrower and/or Operating Lessee, as applicable, any such notice being expressly waived by each of Borrower
-113-
and Operating Lessee, as applicable, to the extent permitted by applicable law, upon any amount becoming due and payable by Borrower and/or Operating Lessee, as applicable, hereunder (whether at the stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise) to set-off and appropriate and apply against such amount any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final), in any currency, and any other credits, indebtedness or claims, in any currency, in each case whether direct or indirect, absolute or contingent, matured or unmatured, at any time held or owing by Lender or any Affiliate thereof to or for the credit or the account of Borrower and/or Operating Lessee, as applicable. Lender agrees promptly to notify Borrower and/or Operating Lessee, as applicable, after any such set-off and application made by Lender; provided that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such set-off and application.
Section 11.29 [Intentionally omitted].
Section 11.30 [Intentionally omitted].
Section 11.31 Cross-Default; Cross-Collateralization
(a) Borrower acknowledges that Lender has made the Loan to Borrower upon the security of its collective interest in the Property and in reliance upon the aggregate of all of the Individual Properties taken together being of greater value as collateral security than the sum of each Individual Property taken separately. Borrower agrees that each of the Loan Documents (including, without limitation, the Security Instrument) are and will be cross collateralized and cross defaulted with each other so that (i) an Event of Default under any of Loan Documents shall constitute an Event of Default under each of the other Loan Documents; (ii) an Event of Default hereunder shall constitute an Event of Default under each Security Instrument; (iii) each Security Instrument shall constitute security for the Note as if a single blanket lien were placed on all of the Property as security for the Note; and (iv) such cross collateralization shall in no event be deemed to constitute a fraudulent conveyance and Borrower waives any claims related thereto.
(b) To the fullest extent permitted by law, Borrower, for itself and its successors and assigns, waives all rights to a marshalling of the assets of Borrower, Borrower’s partners and others with interests in Borrower, and of the Properties, or to a sale in inverse order of alienation in the event of foreclosure of all or any of the Security Instruments, and agrees not to assert any right under any laws pertaining to the marshalling of assets, the sale in inverse order of alienation, homestead exemption, the administration of estates of decedents, or any other matters whatsoever to defeat, reduce or affect the right of Lender under the Loan Documents to a sale of the Properties for the collection of the Debt without any prior or different resort for collection or of the right of Lender to the payment of the Debt out of the net proceeds of the Properties in preference to every other claimant whatsoever. In addition, Borrower, for itself and its successors and assigns, waives in the event of foreclosure of any or all of the Security Instruments, any equitable right otherwise available to Borrower which would require the separate sale of the Properties or require Lender to exhaust its remedies against any Individual Property or any combination of the Properties before proceeding against any other Individual Property or combination of Properties; and further in the event of such foreclosure Borrower does hereby expressly consent to and authorize, at the option of Lender, the foreclosure and sale either separately or together of any combination of the Properties.
-114-
(c) Borrower represents that it has paid all state, county and municipal recording and all other taxes imposed upon the execution and recordation of each Security Instrument. If at any time Lender determines, based on applicable Legal Requirements, that Lender is not being afforded the maximum amount of security available from any one or more of the Properties as a direct or indirect result of applicable taxes not having been paid with respect to any Individual Property, Borrower agrees that Borrower will execute, acknowledge and deliver to Lender, immediately upon Lender’s request, supplemental affidavits increasing the amount of the Debt attributable to any such Individual Property to an amount determined by Lender to be equal to the lesser of (i) the greater of the fair market value of the applicable Individual Property (1) as of the date hereof and (2) as of the date such supplemental affidavits are to be delivered to Lender, and (ii) the amount of the Debt attributable to any such Individual Property (as set forth on Schedule VI hereof), and Borrower shall, on demand, pay any additional taxes.
