7
Date thereafter, Borrower shall pay to Agent, for the benefit of Lenders, in arrears, all Accrued Interest, and commencing on the first Scheduled Payment Date after the Amortization Commencement Date, and on or before each Scheduled Payment Date thereafter, Borrower shall pay to Agent, for the benefit of Lenders, in arrears, all Accrued Interest and the Minimum Amortization Payment.
(b) Borrower shall pay to Agent, for the benefit of Lenders, the Amortization Conversion Fee on the Amortization Commencement Date.

(d) Following the occurrence of an Event of Default, interest shall be computed at, and Borrower shall pay interest on the unpaid principal balance of the Loan at, the Default Rate. All other payments, reimbursements and other amounts due from Borrower to Lenders under the Loan Documents not paid when due shall bear interest at the Default Rate from the date when due until the date when received by Agent. Acceptance by Agent and payment by Borrower of interest at the Default Rate is not a permitted alternative to the full and timely payment of all amounts due and payable under the Loan Documents, shall not be construed as an agreement or privilege to extend the date of payment of the Indebtedness and shall not act as or constitute a cure of any Default or Event of Default and shall not limit or prejudice Agent’s or Lenders’ rights and remedies with respect to any such Default or Event of Default.
(e) Upon not less than thirty (30) days prior written notice to Agent, Borrower may prepay the Loan on any Scheduled Payment Date in whole or in part; provided that (1) if the principal amount is being prepaid in part, Borrower shall also pay to Agent, for the benefit of Lenders, the Minimum Interest Lookback Amount on such prepaid amount (if any) and the proportionate amount of the Exit Fee, and (2) upon any payment of the entire principal balance of the Loan, all other Indebtedness, including all Accrued Interest, the Minimum Interest Lookback Amount (if any), and the Exit Fee (if any) shall also be paid to Agent, for the benefit of Lenders, in full. Such notice shall specify the amount to be prepaid and the date on which such prepayment shall occur. All prepayments (other than mandatory prepayments, those described in Section 2.6 or a payment of the entire Loan balance) shall be in increments of $25,000.
(f) Unless otherwise specified in this Agreement, all amounts payable to Agent or any Lender shall be due and payable within ten (10) days after request or invoice.
2.3.2 Place and Manner of Payment; Application of Payments.
(a) The payment of all amounts due under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall be deemed received only when actually received by Agent in Dallas, Texas and shall be made in immediately available U.S. funds (or if Agent so elects, shall be made by ACH from the Blocked Account or other depository account approved by Agent). Payments received after 11:00 a.m. in said location shall be deemed received on the next day Agent is open for
8
business. All such payments shall be made irrespective of, and without any deduction, set-off or counterclaim whatsoever and are payable without relief from valuation and appraisement laws and with all costs and charges incurred in the collection or enforcement thereof, including attorneys’ fees and court costs.
(b) Agent will distribute or cause to be distributed to each Lender in same day funds (if Agent is in receipt of immediately available funds prior to 11:00 a.m. in Dallas, Texas on a Business Day, otherwise, the next day Agent is open for business) such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the payments of principal and interest, and its Pro Rata Share of the payments of other sums, in like funds for the account of such Lender (if Agent subsequently determines that it distributed to a Lender an amount in excess of that Lender’s Pro Rata Share of any payment, Agent shall so notify such Lender and such Lender shall promptly refund such excess); provided, however, that Agent shall have the right to deduct from amounts due a Lender in default under its obligations under Section 10.5 the amount owing by such Lender pursuant to said Section 10.5 (which shall include, without limitation, interest and other charges as described in the Loan Documents) and pay the amount so deducted to itself, the other Lenders, or such other party as is entitled to such amount, as applicable. If a court of competent jurisdiction orders, at any time, that any amount received or collected in respect of the Loan must, pursuant to any insolvency, bankruptcy, fraudulent conveyance, preference or similar law, be returned to Borrower or other Borrower Party or paid to any other Person, then, notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, Agent shall not be required to distribute any portion thereof to Lenders and each Lender shall promptly on demand by Agent repay to Agent any portion thereof that Agent shall have theretofore distributed to such Lender together with any fees, charges or interest thereon at such rate, if any, as Agent shall have been required (or entitled, in the case of itself) to pay to Borrower or such other Person with respect thereto, without setoff, counterclaim or reduction of any kind. Acceptance by Agent of payments in other than immediately available funds or by ACH shall not constitute a waiver by Agent of its rights to insist that any subsequent payment be made in immediately available funds or by ACH. All amounts due from Borrower or any Borrower Party under the Loan Documents shall be payable without setoff, counterclaim or any other deduction whatsoever.
(c) Except as provided above in this Section and in Section 10.16, each Lender’s interest in the Loan relative to the receipt of payments shall be of equal priority with the interest of each other Lender.
(d) Each borrowing of proceeds of the Loan and each payment or prepayment by Borrower with respect to principal, interest, fees or other amounts due and owing from Borrower hereunder to Lenders shall (except as to certain fees) be made in accordance with each Lender’s Pro Rata Share, but Borrower shall not be required to break down and make separate payments or prepayments of principal, interest or other amounts due and owing to each of the individual Lenders, and instead shall aggregate and remit payments or prepayments to Agent only, who shall then be solely responsible for allocating and distributing the aggregate amount so received from Borrower among the individual Lenders in accordance with their respective Pro Rata Shares. Borrower’s remitting payment to Agent in such manner shall constitute payment to all Lenders for all purposes under the Notes and the other Loan Documents.

2.3.3 Late Payment Fee. If any payment due on any Scheduled Payment Date or any other amount due hereunder is not made within five (5) days of the Scheduled Payment Date, or, as applicable, five (5) days (or such earlier time as may be specified herein) after request for payment by Agent, Agent, at its option and in addition to any other remedy available to Lenders, may impose a late payment fee, for the account of Lenders, in order to defray the expense incurred in handling and processing such delinquent payment and to compensate Lenders for the loss of the use of such delinquent payment, which Borrower covenants to pay upon demand calculated at the rate of five percent (5%) of the amount of such delinquent payment or deposit. Without limiting the foregoing, any late payment fee shall be paid without prejudice to the right of Agent or Lenders to collect any other amounts provided to be paid upon an Event of Default, including without limitation any other amounts due at the Default Rate, or to declare a default hereunder under any of the other Loan Documents, or exercise any other available right or remedy.
2.4 Legal Interest.
2.4.1 Savings. In the event the interest (including, without limitation, at the Default Rate) or other payments required to be made under the Loan Documents or otherwise, shall at any time exceed the Legal Limits, all such sums paid by Borrower or any guarantor(s) or indemnitor(s) for the period in question that exceed the Legal Limits, automatically and without further documentation or action by Borrower, any guarantor(s) or indemnitor(s) or Lenders, shall be applied to the Indebtedness, in such order and manner as Agent may elect, but only to the extent that it does not violate the Legal Limits, or if the Indebtedness has been repaid in full and Borrower and Guarantor have performed and satisfied all of the other Obligations, then each Lender shall refund its Pro Rata Share of any such excess to Borrower. In no event whatsoever shall the amount of interest paid or agreed to be paid to Lenders pursuant to this Agreement, the Notes or any of the other Loan Documents exceed the Legal Limits. Neither Borrower nor any guarantor, endorser or surety nor their heirs, legal representatives, successors or assigns shall have any action against Agent or Lenders for any damages whatsoever arising out of the payment or collection of any amounts that exceed the Legal Limits, and all such claims and causes of action are hereby indefeasibly waived and released.
2.4.2 Default Interest; Late Payment Fee. Borrower acknowledges that the occurrence of any Event of Default will (a) require Agent and Lenders to incur additional expense in servicing and administering the Loan, and (b) result in loss to Lenders of the use of the money due and impede Lenders in meeting its other financial and loan commitments. Borrower further acknowledges that the damages caused thereby will be extremely difficult and impractical to ascertain. Accordingly, Borrower agrees that (i) any late payment fee and/or Default Interest imposed on Borrower under this Agreement is not a penalty but represents the reasonable estimate of Agent, Lenders and Borrower of a fair compensation for the loss that may be sustained by Agent and Lenders due to the failure of Borrower to make timely payments, and (ii) the accrual of interest at the Default Rate is a reasonable estimate of the damage to Agent and Lenders in the event of such default, regardless of whether there has been acceleration of the Indebtedness.
10
2.5 Deposits and Reserves.
2.5.1 Tax and Insurance Deposits. On or before the Closing Date Borrower shall (a) pay all Impositions and Premiums then due and payable or due and payable within sixty (60) days after the Closing Date and (b) deposit with Agent, for the benefit of Lenders, an amount sufficient, when added to the Monthly Tax Deposits and Monthly Insurance Deposits to be collected prior to the dates when Impositions and Premiums next become due and payable, to pay such Impositions and Premiums no less than sixty (60) days in advance. On each Scheduled Payment Date, Borrower shall deposit with Agent, for the benefit of Lenders, the Monthly Tax Deposit and the Monthly Insurance Deposit. Provided no Event of Default exists and all terms and conditions of this Agreement relative to the making of Advances have been satisfied, Borrower shall be entitled to Advances of the Insurance Holdback and the Real Estate Taxes Holdback to make the payments required under this Section 2.5.1, but only to the extent that Revenues available in accordance with Section 2.6 are insufficient to make such payments.
2.5.2 Facility Lease Escrow Accounts. On the Closing Date, Borrower shall establish with Agent (or Agent’s designee) the Operating Deficit Escrow Account, the Pre-Opening Expenses Escrow Account and the Working Capital Escrow Account (collectively, the “Escrow Accounts” and each, an “Escrow Account”), into which funds shall be subsequently deposited therein in accordance with this Agreement. Each of the Escrow Accounts shall be established as a separate non-interest bearing account with Agent (or Agent’s designee) which shall not be commingled with other funds of Agent. Agent (or Agent’s designee) shall also establish subaccounts of each of the Escrow Accounts which shall be ledger or book entry accounts (such subaccounts are referred to herein as “Subaccounts” and each, a “Subaccount”). All Revenues available pursuant to Section 2.6 shall be used to fund the Subaccount for the Operating Deficit Escrow Account in an amount equal to the Operating Deficit Escrow Funds, the Subaccount for the Pre-Opening Expenses Escrow Account in an amount equal to the Pre-Opening Escrow Funds, and the Subaccount for the Working Capital Escrow Account in an amount equal to the Minimum Working Capital Amount, in each instance regardless of whether the Facility Lease then requires such funding (provided, however, that after such time as any such Escrow Account has been funded in accordance with the terms set forth below, Revenues available pursuant to Section 2.6 that would otherwise be used fund the Subaccount for any such previously funded Escrow Account shall instead be used to fund any such Escrow Account directly). Borrower shall provide written notice to Agent, no later than five (5) Business Days prior to the date that each Escrow Account is required to be established pursuant to the Facility Lease, of the date such Escrow Account is to be funded pursuant to the Facility Lease and the amount required to be deposited therein (each, an “Escrow Funding Notice”). Provided that so long as no Default, Event of Default or Cash Trap Event shall have occurred and be continuing, Agent (or Agent’s designee) shall, prior to the required funding date set forth in any such Escrow Funding Notice, transfer all funds contained in the applicable Subaccount into the applicable Escrow Account. Notwithstanding the foregoing, as and when required under the Facility Lease and prior to delinquency under the Facility Lease, and after taking into account all funds then on deposit therein and in the applicable Subaccount, Borrower shall deposit with Agent (or Agent’s designee) for immediate deposit by Agent in the applicable Escrow Account (i) the Operating Deficit Escrow Funds required to be held in the Operating Deficit Escrow Account, (ii) the Pre-Opening Escrow Funds required to be held in the Pre-Opening Expenses Escrow Account, and (iii) the Minimum Working Capital Amount required to be held in the Working Capital Escrow
11
Account (Borrower agrees that it shall not elect to deliver to Provider the Working Capital Letter of Credit described in Section 5.7 of the Facility Lease). Subject to Borrower’s satisfaction of all the terms and conditions contained herein relating to Advances and provided that Borrower delivers to Agent such accompanying documentation as Agent shall request, Borrower shall be entitled to (1) a single Advance of the Operating Deficit Holdback to cause the then existing balance of the Operating Deficit Escrow Account (and/or its Subaccount) to contain all of the Operating Deficit Escrow Funds when required under the Facility Lease, (2) a single Advance of the Pre-Opening Expense Holdback to cause the then existing balance of the Pre-Opening Expenses Escrow Account (and/or its Subaccount) to contain all of the Pre-Opening Escrow Funds at any time prior to when such funds are required under the Facility Lease, and (3) a single Advance of the Working Capital Holdback to cause the then existing balance of the Working Capital Escrow Account (and/or its Subaccount) to contain all of the Minimum Working Capital Amount when required under the Facility Lease. To the extent required under the Facility Lease, Revenues available pursuant to Section 2.6 shall be used to fund all additional amounts of the Operating Deficit Escrow Funds, Pre-Opening Escrow Funds and Minimum Working Capital Amount as and when required, and prior to delinquency, under the Facility Lease, and to the extent that Revenues available pursuant to Section 2.6 are insufficient to fully fund all such additional amounts, Borrower shall deposit with Agent for immediate deposit by Agent in the applicable Escrow Account, all such additional amounts as and when required, and prior to delinquency, under the Facility Lease. For the avoidance of doubt and notwithstanding anything contained in this Agreement to the contrary, until such time as Agent (or Agent’s designee) shall have transferred funds contained in a Subaccount into the applicable Escrow Account pursuant to an Escrow Funding Notice, prior to the date that each Escrow Account is required to be established and funded pursuant to the Facility Lease, all funds deposited with or paid to Agent pursuant to this Section 2.5.2 (including, without limitation, any Advance from any Holdback designated for the funding of any Escrow Account) or Section 2.6 with respect to the establishment, funding or replenishment of any Escrow Account shall be held in the Subaccount for the applicable Escrow Account and shall not be held directly in the applicable Escrow Account.
Provided that all conditions set forth in the Facility Lease with respect to the disbursement of funds held in the applicable Escrow Account have been satisfied and that Borrower delivers to Agent such accompanying documentation as Agent shall request:
(a) funds held in the Operating Deficit Escrow Account shall be disbursed into the Operating Account within three (3) Business Days of Borrower’s request for the purpose of paying certain costs and expenses relating to the Project in accordance with Section 5.6 of the Facility Lease, provided, however, that if any disbursement from the Operating Deficit Escrow Account causes the then remaining funds in the Operating Deficit Escrow Account to be less than the Minimum Working Capital Amount, Borrower shall immediately deposit with Agent, for immediate deposit by Agent in the Operating Deficit Escrow Account, all additional amounts necessary to keep and maintain an amount not less than the Minimum Working Capital Amount in the Operating Deficit Escrow Account;
(b) funds held in the Pre-Opening Expenses Escrow Account shall be paid to Borrower or disbursed into the Operating Account (as applicable and in accordance with Section 5.9 of the Facility Lease) within three (3) Business Days of Borrower’s request for the purpose
12
of paying certain costs and expenses relating to the Project in accordance with Section 5.9 of the Facility Lease; and
(c) funds held in the Working Capital Escrow Account shall be disbursed into the Operating Account within three (3) Business Days of Borrower’s request for the purpose of paying certain costs and expenses relating to the Project in accordance with Section 5.7.1 of the Facility Lease, provided, however, that if any disbursement from the Working Capital Escrow Account would cause the then remaining funds in the Working Capital Escrow Account to be less than the Minimum Working Capital Amount, Borrower shall immediately deposit with Agent, for immediate deposit by Agent in the Working Capital Escrow Account, all additional amounts necessary to keep and maintain an amount not less than the Minimum Working Capital Amount in the Working Capital Escrow Account.
2.5.3 Replacement Reserve. Beginning on the first Scheduled Payment Date after March 1, 2013 and on each Scheduled Payment Date thereafter, Borrower shall deposit with Agent in immediately available funds, one-twelfth (1/12) of the Replacement Reserve Amount, which Agent shall hold as the Replacement Reserve. Subject to Borrower’s satisfaction of all the terms and conditions contained herein relating to Advances, Borrower, at its option, may request an Advance from the Replacement Reserve to pay for costs and expenses incurred by Borrower in connection with capital improvements, repairs and replacements performed at the Property, such Advance to be approved by Agent.
2.5.4 Marketing Reserve. Beginning on the first Scheduled Payment Date after March 1, 2013 and on each Scheduled Payment Date thereafter, Borrower shall deposit with Agent in immediately available funds, one-twelfth (1/12) of the Marketing Reserve Amount, which Agent shall hold as the Marketing Reserve. Subject to Borrower’s satisfaction of all the terms and conditions contained herein relating to Advances, Borrower, at its option, may request an Advance from the Marketing Reserve to pay for costs and expenses incurred by Borrower in connection with the marketing, advertising and promotion of the Facility, such Advance to be approved by Agent, such approval not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed.
2.5.5 Collateral Reserve. The Collateral Reserve shall be established as described in Section 2.6 and all funds held therein shall be held by Agent for the benefit of Lenders during the term of the Loan as additional collateral for the Indebtedness and shall not be available for Advances or disbursement to Borrower, except as specifically provided in Section 2.6.
2.5.6 O&M Reserve. The O&M Reserve shall be established as described in Section 2.6 and all funds held therein shall be held by Agent for the benefit of Lenders during the term of the Loan as additional collateral for the Indebtedness. On the Scheduled Payment Date immediately preceding the Support Service Start Date and on each Scheduled Payment Date thereafter, Borrower shall deposit with Agent, for the benefit of Lenders, the Monthly O&M Deposit to be held in the O&M Reserve. Provided that so long as no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the O&M Reserve will be used for the payment of the Support Services Fees next due and payable and all other amounts that Borrower is required to pay pursuant to the O&M Agreement when they become due. Upon demand by Agent, Borrower shall deliver and pay over to Agent from time to time such additional sums to be held in the
13
O&M Reserve as are necessary to make up any deficiency in the amount necessary, as determined by Agent, to enable Agent to fully pay the Support Services Fees and all other amounts that Borrower is required to pay pursuant to the O&M Agreement as they become due and payable.
2.5.7 Holding of Deposits, Security Interest. All Deposits shall be held without any allowance of interest and may be commingled with other funds of Agent, except as specifically provided in this Agreement. At its sole election, Agent may cause all or a portion of the Deposits to be held by a depository designated by Agent in one or more accounts. A security interest within the meaning of the Code is hereby granted to Agent, for the benefit of Lenders, in and to all Deposits and all of Borrower’s right, title and interest therein are hereby assigned to Agent, for the benefit of Lenders, all as additional security for the Indebtedness and shall not be subject to the direction or control of Borrower. Agent shall not be liable for any failure to apply any Deposit or make any disbursement provided herein, in the absence of gross negligence or willful misconduct of Agent. Agent shall not be liable for any act or omission taken in good faith or pursuant to the instruction of any party. In the event of an Event of Default, Agent may at its option, without being required to do so, apply any portion of the Deposits, other than unforfeited tenant security deposits, to pay Indebtedness, including Charges, in such order and manner as Agent may elect. To the extent Deposits are used to pay Indebtedness, Borrower shall immediately upon demand by Agent, deposit with Agent an amount equal to the amount so used to replenish the funds held as such Deposit.
2.5.8 Use of Tax and Insurance Deposits. Provided no Default or Event of Default then exists, the Monthly Tax Deposits and the Monthly Insurance Deposits will be used for the payment of the Impositions and Premiums next due and payable when they become due. Upon demand by Agent, Borrower shall deliver and pay over to Agent from time to time such additional sums or such additional security as are necessary to make up any deficiency in the amount necessary, as determined by Agent, to enable Agent to fully pay the Impositions and Premiums as they become due and payable. If the funds so deposited exceed the amount required to pay Impositions and Premiums for any year, the excess shall be applied to subsequent Monthly Tax Deposits, as determined by Agent.
2.6 Blocked Account. No later than two (2) Business Days after Borrower’s receipt thereof, Borrower will cause all Revenues to be deposited into the Blocked Account and shall give irrevocable notices to Provider and other account debtors of Borrower or the Property to make all payments directly to the Blocked Account (and Borrower shall cause Provider to directly deposit those payments described in Sections 9(a)(i)(2), 9(a)(i)(3), 9(a)(i)(4)(ii) and 9(a)(i)(5) of the Multi-Party Agreement directly into the Blocked Account in accordance with the Multi-Party Agreement and shall not give any direction to Provider that is inconsistent with the foregoing). Prior to the occurrence of a Cash Trap Event and so long as no Cash Trap Event is continuing, each month Agent will disburse funds from the Blocked Account (by ACH or otherwise) in the following order of priority:
(a) first, to pay any unpaid Charges;
(b) next, subject to Borrower’s rights under Section 2.2.2(c) and (d), to Agent to make the required amount of the Monthly Tax Deposits and the Monthly Insurance Deposit;
14
(c) next, subject to Borrower’s rights under Section 2.2.2(j), commencing the month immediately preceding the Support Service Start Date and thereafter, to Agent in the amount of the required Monthly O&M Deposit to be held by Agent in the O&M Reserve;
(d) next, subject to Borrower’s rights under Section 2.2.2(a), to pay all Accrued Interest and, on and after the Amortization Commencement Date, any Minimum Amortization Payment then due and payable;
(e) next, subject to Borrower’s rights under Section 2.2.2(g), to Agent to be deposited in the Subaccount for the Pre-Opening Expenses Escrow Account until such Subaccount contains the full amount of the Pre-Opening Escrow Funds, regardless if then required under the Facility Lease;
(f) next, subject to Borrower’s rights under Section 2.2.2(f), to Agent to be deposited in the Subaccount for the Operating Deficit Escrow Account until such Subaccount contains the full amount of the Operating Deficit Escrow Funds, regardless if then required under the Facility Lease, and to the extent that Borrower is ever obligated to replenish the Operating Deficit Escrow Account in accordance with the terms of the Facility Lease, to Agent in an amount which shall be deposited in the Operating Deficit Escrow Account and when added to the funds then held therein shall cause the Operating Deficit Escrow Account to contain the full amount of the Operating Deficit Escrow Funds;
(g) next, subject to Borrower’s rights under Section 2.2.2(h), to Agent to be deposited in the Subaccount for the Working Capital Escrow Account until such Subaccount contains the full amount of the Minimum Working Capital Amount, regardless if then required under the Facility Lease, and to the extent that Borrower is ever obligated to replenish the Working Capital Escrow Account in accordance with the terms of the Facility Lease, to Agent in an amount which shall be deposited in the Working Capital Escrow Account and when added to the funds then held therein shall cause the Working Capital Escrow Account to contain the full amount of the Minimum Working Capital Amount;
(h) next, to Ground Lessee in the amount of all rent and other sums then due and payable to Ground Lessee under the terms of the Ground Sublease, and all accrued and unpaid amounts relating thereto;
(i) next, subject to Borrower’s rights under Section 2.2.2(k), to Borrower to pay Eligible Expenses;
(j) next, subject to the limitations regarding Excess Revenues set forth in the following paragraph, to Borrower.
The amounts described in clauses (a) through (i) above shall be due and payable on each Scheduled Payment Date whether or not Revenues, the Insurance Holdback, the Interest Holdback, the O&M Holdback, the Operating Deficit Holdback, Pre-Opening Expense Holdback, the Project Working Capital Holdback, the Real Estate Tax Holdback and the Working Capital Holdback are sufficient therefor. Borrower hereby grants to Agent, for the benefit of Lenders, a first priority security interest in the Blocked Account and all deposits at any time contained therein and the proceeds thereof and will take all actions necessary to maintain in
15
favor of Agent and Lenders a perfected first priority security interest in the Blocked Account, including, without limitation, filing UCC-1 Financing Statements and continuations thereof. Borrower will not in any way alter or modify, or permit the alteration or modification of, the Blocked Account. Agent shall have the sole right to make withdrawals from the Blocked Account and all costs and expenses for establishing and maintaining the Blocked Account shall be paid by Borrower. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of a Cash Trap Event (and, if any such Cash Trap Event is an Event of Default, such Event of Default is waived by Agent in writing), all amounts deposited into the Blocked Account shall be disbursed by Agent, to the extent of available funds, in the order of priority described in clauses (a) through (i) of this Section 2.6, with any remaining funds to be held in the Collateral Reserve. Upon the discontinuance of all Cash Trap Events, disbursements of Revenues from the Blocked Account will be made in the order of priority described in clauses (a) through (j) of this Section 2.6 and all funds then held by Agent in the Collateral Reserve shall be, at Borrower’s election (to be exercised by written notice to Agent), either paid to Agent to be deposited in the Subaccount for the Working Capital Escrow Account (provided, that if the Working Capital Escrow Account has already been funded in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, such funds shall be deposited directly in the Working Capital Escrow Account) or, subject to the payment of the applicable Minimum Interest Lookback Amount (if any) and the applicable Exit Fee (if any), shall be applied to the then outstanding principal balance of the Loan; provided, however, that if none of the discontinued Cash Trap Events were set forth in subparagraphs (a), (b), (f), (i), (j) or (o) of the definition of “Cash Trap Event” then all funds then held by Agent in the Collateral Reserve shall be disbursed by Agent, to the extent of available funds, in the order of priority described in clauses (a) through (j) of this Section 2.6. Prior to the Amortization Commencement Date and except for Revenues deposited in the Collateral Reserve, deposited in the Working Capital Escrow Account (or its Subaccount) or applied to the outstanding principal balance of the Loan, in each case as described above in this paragraph, if there are Revenues remaining after the payments described in clauses (a) through (i) above have been made (such remaining Revenues, if any, are referred to herein as the “Excess Revenues”), then, so long as no Default or Event of Default or Cash Trap Event shall have occurred and be continuing, one-half (1/2) of all Excess Revenues shall be paid to Borrower not more than once in any thirty (30) day period until such time as Borrower has received Excess Revenues of $6,000,000 in the aggregate pursuant to this sentence. The amount of all Excess Revenues not paid to Borrower pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence shall be, at Borrower’s election from time to time (to be exercised by written notice to Agent), either paid to Agent to be deposited in the Subaccount for the Working Capital Escrow Account (provided, that if the Working Capital Escrow Account has already been funded in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, such funds shall be deposited directly in the Working Capital Escrow Account) or shall be paid to Agent to be applied to the Indebtedness, subject to the payment of the Minimum Interest Lookback Amount and the Exit Fee on the amounts so applied. For avoidance of doubt, (i) prior to the Amortization Commencement Date, Borrower shall not be entitled to receive more than $6,000,000 of Excess Revenues, (ii) after the Amortization Commencement Date all Excess Revenues shall be paid to Borrower, subject to all terms, conditions and provisions of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and (iii) there shall be no Excess Revenues until all amounts then due and payable to Ground Lessee under the terms of the Ground Sublease and all accrued and unpaid amounts relating thereto shall have been paid in full. If, pursuant to the terms of this paragraph any Excess Revenues or funds in the Collateral Reserve are either deposited in the Subaccount for the Working Capital Escrow
16
Account or directly in the Working Capital Escrow Account, then the undisbursed amount of the Working Capital Holdback shall be reduced by the amount so deposited.
In the event Borrower is entitled to implement the Revenue Sweep pursuant to the terms of Section 15.1.9 of the Facility Lease, Borrower agrees that it shall immediately do so and shall provide written notice thereof to Agent within five (5) Business Days of its implementation of the Revenue Sweep. For so long as Borrower is entitled to keep the Revenue Sweep in place pursuant to the terms of Section 15.1.9 of the Facility Lease, Borrower agrees that all amounts subject to the Revenue Sweep shall be deposited into the Blocked Account.

Borrower has not received any notice of any violation of or non-compliance with any Applicable Laws or Operating Agreements.
(b) Borrower has good, marketable and indefeasible fee simple title to the Land and Improvements, a good and marketable leasehold interest in the Land and Improvements pursuant to the Ground Sublease and has good and merchantable title to the other Collateral, and all such title and interest is free and clear of any lien, claim, restriction, security interest or encumbrance or other title matter, other than Permitted Exceptions, and Borrower shall warrant and defend against the claims of all Persons whomsoever (i) its title to the Land

To the Borrower’s Knowledge, there exist no structural or other material defects or damages in the Property, whether latent or otherwise, which will materially impair the value of the Property or the construction of Improvements. Borrower has not received written notice from any insurance company or bonding company of any defects or inadequacies in the Property or any part thereof, which would, alone or in the aggregate, adversely affect the insurability of the same or cause the imposition of extraordinary premiums or charges thereon or of any termination or threatened termination of any policy of insurance or bond.

All public utilities necessary for the full use and enjoyment of the Property are located in the public right-of-way abutting the Property or in or through a recorded irrevocable easement in favor of the Property, and all such utilities are connected so as to serve the Property without passing over other property (or, if not, such services are readily available and will be connected to the Property by Completion), except to the extent that such utilities are accessible to the Property by virtue of a recorded irrevocable easement or similar agreement or right. All roads necessary for the use of the Facility as a proton radiation treatment center have been completed or will be completed upon Completion of all Construction Work to be performed pursuant to the General Contractor’s Agreement and are either part of the Property (by way of deed or recorded easement) or dedicated to public use and accepted by all Governmental Authorities.

Borrower has not received written notice from any insurance company or bonding company of any defects or inadequacies in the Property or any part thereof, which would, alone or in the aggregate, adversely affect the insurability of the same or cause the imposition of extraordinary premiums or charges thereon or of any termination or threatened termination of any policy of insurance or bond.
(j) Except for the agreements listed on Exhibit C, there are no Material Agreements applicable to or binding upon Borrower, the Property or the ownership, management, operation, leasing or use thereof. Borrower has delivered to Agent true, correct and complete copies of all agreements listed on Exhibit C. Each Material Agreement is in full force and effect and is valid and enforceable in all material respects, subject in each case to Insolvency Laws and general principles of equity (regardless of whether enforcement is sought in a proceeding in equity or at law).

equity or at law); (viii) no Person has any possessory interest in, or right to occupy, the Property except under the terms of the Facility Lease; (ix) other than the right of first refusal contained in Section 17.2 of the Facility Lease (which right is subordinate to the Loan Documents pursuant to the Multi-Party Agreement), the Facility Lease does not contain any option to purchase or right of first refusal to purchase the Property or any part thereof; (x) neither the Facility Leases nor the Revenues (or any portion thereof) have been assigned or pledged except to Agent, for the benefit of Lenders; (xi) no other Person has any interest in the Facility Lease except Borrower and Provider; and (xii) no brokerage commissions remain unpaid or will become due and payable with respect to the Facility Lease, including upon any expansion of the premises or any renewal or extension thereof.
(l) The Operating Budget represents a full, complete, accurate and good faith estimate of all Revenues, Impositions, operating expenses, capital expenditures and reserves relating to the ownership and operation of the Property for the time periods reflected in said Operating Budget.
(m) With respect to the Property, the Mortgage, when properly recorded in the appropriate records, together with any Uniform Commercial Code financing statements required to be filed in connection therewith, will create (i) a valid, perfected first priority lien on Borrower’s fee simple title to, and Borrower’s leasehold interest in, the Property, subject only to Permitted Exceptions; and (ii) perfected security interests in and to, and perfected collateral assignments of, all personal property of Borrower (including the Facility Lease), all in accordance with the terms thereof, in each case subject only to any applicable Permitted Exceptions.
(n) The Permitted Exceptions do not and will not materially adversely affect or interfere with: (i) the intended use or operation, of the Property or any portion thereof; (ii) the security intended to be provided by the Mortgage; (iii) Borrower’s ability to repay the Notes or pay any other amounts due under the Loan Documents; or (iv) any Borrower Party’s ability to perform its obligations under any other Loan Document in accordance with the terms of the Loan Documents.

Nothing in this Section 4.1.1 may be relied on by the Title Company issuing any policies covering the Property. No Person other than Borrower owns any interest in any payments due under the Facility Lease that is superior to or of equal priority with Lenders’ interest therein.
(o) All transfer taxes, deed stamps, intangible taxes or other amounts in the nature of transfer taxes required to be paid by any Person under Applicable Laws have been paid in full or deposited with the Title Company for payment upon recordation of the deeds effecting such transfer.

(s) The Approved Plans comply with all Applicable Laws and the requirements of the Facility Lease and the Proton System Purchase Agreement, and have been approved by the General Contractor, the Provider, the Proton Equipment Vendor and each Governmental Authority as is required for the construction and development of the Project. Borrower is not aware of any event or condition which may necessitate any changes in the Approved Plans in order to complete the construction and development of the Project as contemplated by the Approved Plans and in accordance with the Facility Lease, the Proton System Purchase Agreement and the timelines set forth on Exhibit D to the Closing Certificate of Borrower.

(f) Borrower and Guarantor are in compliance with all Material Agreements to which they are a party and there is no default under any Material Agreement, and to Borrower’s Knowledge, no event has occurred which, with the giving of notice or passage of time, or both, would constitute such a default.

The execution and delivery of the Loan Documents and the performance by Borrower and each Guarantor of their respective obligations under the Loan Documents: (i) do not violate any Applicable Laws; and (ii) do not conflict with, are not inconsistent with, and will not result, in any breach of any of the terms, covenants, conditions or provisions of, or constitutes a default under, any indenture, mortgage, deed of trust, instrument, document, agreement or contract of any kind which creates, represents, evidences or provides for any Lien, upon any of the assets of Borrower or Guarantor, or any other indenture, mortgage, deed of trust, instrument, document, agreement or contract of any kind to which Borrower or Guarantor, is a party or by which Borrower or Guarantor, may be bound.

32
(j) Except for agreements approved by Agent, there are no agreements between Borrower, on the one hand, and any of its Affiliates or Affiliates of Guarantor, on the other hand.

Borrower does not have any material contingent liabilities, liabilities for taxes, unusual forward or long-term commitments or unrealized or anticipated losses from any unfavorable commitments, that are known to it and that are reasonably likely to have a Material Adverse Effect, except as referred to or reflected in said financial statements and operating statements.
(m) Borrower and Guarantor have filed, or caused to be filed, all material tax returns (federal, state, local and foreign) required to be filed and have paid all amounts of taxes shown thereon to be due (including interest and penalties) and all other taxes (including intangible fees, assessments and other governmental charges or taxes) owing (or necessary to preserve any Liens in favor of Agent and Lenders), by Borrower and Guarantor, except for such taxes (i) which are not yet delinquent or (ii) as are being contested in good faith and by proper proceedings, and against which adequate reserves are being maintained.

All such Licenses are or will be, valid and in full force and effect, and are not, or will not be, subject to any pending or, to Borrower’s Knowledge, threatened, administrative or judicial proceeding to revoke, cancel or declare any of such Licenses invalid.

(p) Borrower (i) has not entered into the Loan or any Loan Document with the actual intent to hinder, delay, or defraud any creditor and (ii) has received reasonably equivalent value in exchange for its obligations under the Loan Documents. Giving effect to the transactions contemplated by the Loan Documents, the fair saleable value of Borrower’s assets exceeds and will, immediately following the execution and delivery of the Loan Documents, exceed Borrower’s total liabilities, including subordinated, unliquidated, disputed or contingent liabilities. The fair saleable value of Borrower’s assets is and will, immediately following the execution and delivery of the Loan Documents, be greater than its probable liabilities, including the maximum amount of Borrower’s contingent liabilities or its debts as such debts become absolute and matured. Borrower’s assets do not and, immediately following the execution and delivery of the Loan Documents will not, constitute unreasonably small capital to carry out Borrower’s business as conducted or as proposed to be conducted. Borrower does not intend to, and does not believe that it will, incur debts and liabilities (including contingent liabilities and other commitments) beyond its ability to pay such debts as they mature (taking into account the timing and amounts to be payable on or in respect of its obligations).

To Borrower’s Knowledge, there is no condition, fact, circumstance or event which has not been disclosed to Agent that would make any such information inaccurate, incomplete or otherwise misleading in any material respect or that otherwise could have a Material Adverse Effect. To Borrower’s Knowledge, Borrower has disclosed to Agent all material facts and has not failed to disclose any material fact that would cause any representation or warranty made herein to be materially misleading.
(e) No part of the proceeds of the Loan will be used for the purpose of purchasing or acquiring any “margin stock” within the meaning of Regulation U of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System or for any other purpose which would be inconsistent with such Regulation U or any other Regulations of such Board of Governors, or for any purpose
34
prohibited by Applicable Laws or by the terms and conditions of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents.
(f) Each Loan Document to which it is a party constitutes such Borrower Party’s legal, valid and binding obligation, enforceable against it in accordance with its terms, subject only to Insolvency Laws and general principles of equity (regardless of whether enforcement is sought in a proceeding in equity or at law). The Loan Documents are not subject to any right of rescission, set-off, counterclaim or defense by any Borrower Party, including the defense of usury, nor would the operation of any of the terms of the Loan Documents to which any Borrower Party is a party, or the exercise of any right thereunder, render the Loan Documents to which any Borrower Party is a party unenforceable, subject to Insolvency Laws and general principles of equity (regardless of whether enforcement is sought in a proceeding in equity or at law), and no any Borrower Party has asserted any right of rescission, set-off, counterclaim or defense with respect thereto.

(a) Until the Indebtedness is fully paid and all obligations of Agent and Lenders under the Loan Documents have been finally terminated, all of the Collateral shall be kept at all times insured against loss and damage by such hazards, casualties and contingencies in such amounts, subject to such deductibles, and for such periods as may from time to time be reasonably required by Agent. All insurance shall be written in policies and by insurance companies approved by Agent. All policies of insurance and renewals thereof shall contain standard noncontributory lender or mortgagee clauses or loss payable clauses in favor of Agent, for the benefit of Lenders, and their successors and assigns and shall name Agent, for the benefit of Lenders, and their successor and assigns as an additional insured and shall provide for at least
42
thirty (30) days’ prior written notice of modification (including cancellation) to Agent without cost to Agent, and Agent shall be endorsed onto all such policies as a cancellation recipient, as well as a waiver of subrogation endorsement and such other endorsements as Agent shall require. All policies of insurance and renewals thereof shall contain such further endorsements as Agent may require, in form and content acceptable to Agent. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, all policies of insurance shall be in amounts and have deductibles (if any) approved by Agent and contain clauses or endorsements to the effect that no act or negligence of Borrower, or anyone acting for Borrower or of any tenant under any Lease 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 effect the validity or enforceability of the insurance insofar as Agent and Lenders are concerned. Copies of all policies of insurance and original certificates of insurance on XXXXX forms acceptable to Agent, together with evidence of fully paid premiums, shall be delivered to Agent as issued at least thirty (30) days before the expiration of old policies and shall be held by Agent until all Obligations have been fully paid and performed and all obligations of Agent and Lenders under the Loan Documents finally terminated. Upon request by Agent, Borrower, at its sole cost and expense, shall furnish to Agent evidence of the replacement cost of the Property that is satisfactory to Agent. In case of any transfer of title to the Property either resulting from an exercise of remedies under or pursuant to the Mortgage or in lieu of such remedies, complete title to all policies of insurance required by this Agreement and to all prepaid or unearned premiums thereon shall pass to and vest in the grantee or other transferee of the Property. Agent and Lenders shall not, by reason of accepting, rejecting, approving or obtaining insurance, incur any liability for payment of losses.
(b) Without in any way limiting the generality of the foregoing, Borrower covenants and agrees to maintain the following insurance coverage: (i) all risk of physical loss or special perils coverage insurance, for an amount equal to not less than one hundred percent (100%) of the full replacement cost of the Improvements and fixtures located on the Property, written on a replacement cost basis and with endorsements covering replacement cost (without depreciation), building ordinances/enforcement of law (including demolition and increased cost of construction, which building ordinance coverage endorsement shall be in such amount as Agent may reasonably require), vandalism, malicious mischief, terrorist acts, building collapse, boiler and machinery, sewer back up; (ii) rent loss and/or business interruption insurance in an amount equal to not less than the projected gross revenue from the Property for twelve (12) months, less any allocable charges and expenses which would not continue during the period of restoration; (iii) commercial general public liability and property damage insurance with a broad form coverage endorsement for an amount as reasonably required from time to time by Agent but not less than an aggregate amount of Ten Million Dollars ($10,000,000.00) and an occurrence limit of not less than Five Million Dollars ($5,000,000.00) combined single limit; (iv) flood insurance with coverages reasonably acceptable to Agent; (v) earthquake insurance with coverages acceptable to Agent; (vi) insurance covering pressure vessels, pressure piping and machinery, if any, and all major components of any centralized heating or air-conditioning systems located in the Improvements, in an amount satisfactory to Agent, such policies also to insure against physical damage to the Improvements arising out of peril covered thereunder; and (vii) such other insurance that may be required from time to time by Agent. All insurance policies shall be issued by an insurer licensed to do business in the jurisdiction in which the Property is located and which has a rating of at least “AA” by Standard & Poor’s and a rating of A:X or better in the current Best’s Insurance Reports. In addition to the requirements of this
43
Section 5.3, Borrower shall cause Agent to be named as an additional insured under Provider’s professional liability insurance described in Section 12.1.10 of the Facility Lease, and Borrower shall deliver to Agent a copy of such policy of insurance and original certificates of insurance on XXXXX forms acceptable to Agent, together with evidence of fully paid premiums, at least thirty (30) days before the expiration of the then current policy.
(c) At all times prior to Completion of the Improvements and the Facility, and in connection with any other Construction Project (if required by Agent), Borrower shall have delivered to Agent a so-called Builder’s Risk Completed Value non-reporting form insurance policy for one hundred percent (100%) of the replacement value of the completed Improvements and Facility (including, without limitation, one hundred (100%) percent of the replacement cost value of all improvements and betterments, but excluding foundations and any other improvements not subject to physical damage) and shall include, without limitation, coverage for loss by testing, collapse, theft, flood, and earth movement. Such insurance policy shall also include coverage for: (i) loss suffered with respect to materials, equipment, machinery, and supplies whether on-site, in transit, or stored off-site and with respect to temporary structures, hoists, sidewalks, retaining walls, and underground property unless required to be insured by any contractor or subcontractor, and coverage for damage caused by “War” or the acts of terrorists, whether certified or uncertified; (ii) soft costs (including delayed opening) that are recurring costs, which shall include, without limitation, delayed opening loss of income/revenue coverage for a period of recovery of not less than eighteen (18) months commencing from the date the Improvements and the Facility were to be completed as approved by Agent in its sole discretion, as well as costs to reproduce plans, specifications, blueprints and models in connection with any restoration following a casualty; (iii) demolition, debris removal and increased cost of construction, including, without limitation, increased costs arising out of changes in applicable laws and codes; and (iv) operation of building laws.
(d) If at any time a dispute arises with respect to replacement cost, Borrower agrees to provide at Borrower’s expense, an insurance appraisal prepared by an insurance appraiser approved by Agent, establishing the full replacement cost in a manner satisfactory to the insurance carrier.
(e) Subject to Section 2.5.8, Borrower shall pay or cause to be paid, in a timely manner, all Premiums. At least thirty (30) days prior to the expiration of any policy of insurance, Borrower shall furnish to Agent renewal insurance policies (or Evidence of Commercial Property Insurance on XXXXX 28 and a Certificate of Liability Insurance on XXXXX 25) as required by this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.
(f) Borrower shall not take out separate insurance concurrent in form or contributing in the event of loss with that required to be maintained hereunder unless Agent, for the benefit of Lenders, is included thereon as the loss payee and an additional insured as applicable, under a standard mortgagee clause acceptable to Agent and such separate insurance is acceptable to Agent.
(g) Unless Borrower provides Agent with evidence of the insurance coverage required by this Agreement, Agent, on behalf of Lenders, may purchase insurance at Borrower’s expense to protect Agent’s and Lenders’ interest in the Property. This insurance may, but need
44
not, protect Borrower’s interests. The coverage Agent purchases may not pay any claim Borrower makes or any claim that is made against Borrower in connection with the Property. Borrower may later request Agent to cancel any insurance purchased by Agent, but only after providing Agent with evidence that Borrower has obtained insurance as required by this Agreement. If Agent purchases insurance required to be provided under this Agreement, Borrower will be responsible for the costs of that insurance, including interest and any other charges Agent may impose in connection with the placement of the insurance, until the effective date of the cancellation or expiration of the insurance. The costs of the insurance may be added to the Indebtedness and shall bear interest at the Default Rate. The costs of the insurance may be more than the cost of insurance Borrower may be able to obtain on its own.
(h) Borrower shall cooperate with Agent in all respects in obtaining for Agent on behalf of Lenders the benefits of any insurance proceeds lawfully or equitably payable in connection with the Property, and Agent shall be reimbursed for any out-of-pocket expenses reasonably incurred in connection therewith (including attorneys’ fees and disbursements, and, if necessary to collect such proceeds, the expense of an appraisal on behalf of Agent in case of a fire or other casualty affecting the Property or any part thereof) out of such insurance proceeds.
5.1.4 Leases.

Borrower shall provide Agent with a copy of a fully executed original of each Lease executed subsequent to the Closing Date promptly following its execution. No later than sixty (60) days after the Closing Date, Borrower shall deliver written notice to Provider under the Facility Lease (a copy of which shall be delivered to Agent contemporaneously with its delivery to Provider) adding Agent, at Agent’s Address, as an additional required notice party of Borrower (as Manager) under Section 27.6 of the Facility Lease.
(b) Borrower shall (i) observe and perform (A) all obligations of the lessee under the Ground Sublease in full compliance with all provisions thereof and (B) all obligations of the lessor under all Leases and the Ground Lease in full compliance with all provisions thereof, and (ii) enforce all terms, provisions, covenants and conditions contained in the Leases, the Ground Lease and the Ground Sublease. Borrower will not suffer or permit any breach or default to occur in any of Borrower’s obligations under the Ground Sublease, the Ground Lease or any of the Leases nor suffer or permit the same to terminate by reason of any failure of Borrower to meet any requirement thereunder, including those with respect to any time limitation within which any of Borrower’s work is to be done or the space is to be available for occupancy by the tenant. Borrower shall promptly notify Agent in writing in the event of a default under the Ground Sublease, the Ground Lease or a Lease and, notwithstanding the foregoing, Borrower shall deliver to Agent a complete copy of each notice of default Borrower delivers in connection with the Ground Sublease, the Ground Lease or the Facility Lease at the same time as and
45
whenever Borrower delivers any such notice of default. Borrower will not waive any rights under the Ground Sublease, the Ground Lease or any of the Leases and will enforce the obligations of tenants under and guarantors of the Leases, including amendments approved by Agent. Borrower has not and shall not assign or pledge any Leases or the right to receive any payments thereunder except as permitted in this Agreement.
(c) Borrower shall deliver to Agent all tenant security deposits (if any), including letters of credit, which security deposits Agent shall hold pursuant to Section 2.5.7, subject in each case to the rights of the applicable tenant to the return of such security deposit in accordance with the applicable Lease.

All lease termination payments or fees shall be paid to Agent and shall be applied to the Indebtedness.

(b) Agent agrees to make available the Loss Recoveries for restoration of the Improvements if (i) no Default or Event of Default or Cash Trap Event exists, (ii) the entire amount of the Loss Recoveries is deposited with Agent, (iii) in Agent’s reasonable judgment, the amount of the Loss Recoveries available for restoration is sufficient to pay the full and complete costs of such restoration, or if not sufficient, Borrower has deposited with Agent an amount, which together with the amount of the Loss Recoveries available for restoration of the Improvements, in Agent’s reasonable judgment, will be sufficient to pay the full and complete costs of such restoration, (iv) in Agent’s reasonable judgment, the projected Revenue or income from the Property resulting from Provider Operations will not, following restoration, result in a Cash Trap Event described in and pursuant to clause (v) or (w) (whichever is applicable) of the definition of “Cash Trap Event” in Schedule 1.2 as a result of such casualty or condemnation, (v) the cost of restoration will not exceed thirty percent (30%) of the amount of the Loan funded as of the date of such casualty, (vi) in Agent’s sole determination and estimation upon completion of restoration the Loan Amount will not exceed seventy five percent (75%) of the fair market value of the Property, (vii) in Agent’s reasonable determination, the Property can be restored to an architecturally and economically viable project in compliance with Applicable Laws within one (1) year, (viii) Guarantor reaffirms in writing Guarantor’s obligations under the Loan Documents, and (ix) in Agent’s reasonable determination, such restoration will be completed not later than six (6) months prior to the Maturity Date (exclusive of any exercise of any Extension Option).

(i) If a Default, Event of Default or Cash Trap Event has occurred and is continuing, to settle and adjust any claim under insurance policies which insure against such risks; or if no Default, Event of Default or Cash Trap Event then exists to participate in all negotiations regarding settlement and adjustment of claims under insurance policies and approve any settlement; or
(ii) to allow Borrower, with Agent’s consent, to agree with the insurance company or companies on the amount to be paid in regard to such loss; provided that Borrower shall not make any settlement with any insurance company without Agent’s consent.
(d) Borrower shall cooperate with Agent in all reasonable respects in obtaining for Agent the benefits of any insurance proceeds lawfully or equitably payable in connection with the Property, and Agent shall be reimbursed for all out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection therewith (including attorneys’ fees and disbursements, and, if reasonably necessary to collect such proceeds, the expense of an appraisal on behalf of Agent in case of a fire or other casualty affecting the Property or any part thereof) out of such as recoveries.

6.2 Borrower to Restore.
(a) In the event Agent does not elect to apply or does not have the right to apply the Loss Recoveries to the Indebtedness, as provided in Section 6.1 above, Borrower shall:
(i) Subject to Section 6.1(c) above, proceed with diligence to make settlement with insurers or the appropriate governmental authorities and cause the Loss Recoveries to be deposited with Agent;
(ii) In the event the Loss Recoveries and the available proceeds of the Loan are insufficient to assure Agent that all contemplated repairs or construction will be completed, promptly deposit with Agent any amount necessary to assure that such contemplated repairs or construction will be completed; and
(iii) Promptly proceed with the resumption of any affected Construction Project of the improvements and/or the repair of all damage resulting from such fire, condemnation or other cause and restoration to its former condition.
(b) Any request by Borrower for a disbursement by Agent of Loss Recoveries and funds deposited by Borrower shall be treated by Agent as if such request were for an Advance with respect to a Construction Project, and the disbursement thereof shall be conditioned upon Borrower’s compliance with and satisfaction of the same conditions precedent as would be applicable under this Agreement for an Advance with respect to a Construction Project and subject to any other reasonable disbursement conditions as Agent may impose. If Loss Recoveries shall exceed the amount necessary to complete the repair, restoration or rebuilding of the Improvements, such excess shall be applied on account of the Indebtedness irrespective of whether such Indebtedness is then due and payable. If Loss Recoveries shall be insufficient to fully pay for all costs necessary to complete the repair, restoration or rebuilding of the Improvements, the difference shall be treated as a Deficiency.
(c) No casualty, condemnation or application of Loss Recoveries shall excuse Borrower from complying with all Obligations under the Loan Documents.
(d) All Loss Recoveries not applied to the Indebtedness shall be held by Agent and shall be deemed to be Deposits.
(e) If Agent elects pursuant to the terms hereof to apply the Loss Recoveries to the Indebtedness, no payment of the Exit Fee or Minimum Interest Lookback Amount shall be due with respect to the amount so applied by Agent.

Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Borrower agrees that upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default (a) Agent shall not be subject to any “one action” or “election of remedies” law or rule, and (b) all liens and other rights, remedies or privileges provided to Agent shall remain in full force and effect until Agent has exhausted all of its remedies against the Collateral and the Mortgage has been foreclosed, sold and/or otherwise realized upon in satisfaction of the Indebtedness or the Indebtedness has been paid in full. Nothing herein shall be construed as prohibiting Agent from seeking, and Agent reserves the right to seek, a deficiency judgment or preserve a deficiency claim to the extent that Agent deems the same necessary in connection with any foreclosure or similar proceeding.
7.2.2 Specific Remedies. In addition to, and without limiting any remedies of Agent and Lenders under this Agreement or applicable laws, Borrower covenants and agrees as follows:

71
and is irrevocable and Agent and Lenders may exercise their rights thereunder in addition to any other remedies which Agent or Lenders may have against Borrower as a result of a breach of the obligations contained in this subsection.
(b) In the event of the exercise by Agent or Lenders of any remedies in respect of the Facility following the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default, including, but not limited to, foreclosure and/or appointment of a receiver or replacement provider or operator, Borrower hereby agrees to cooperate, and shall cause Provider to cooperate, with Agent to permit Agent to take any such actions necessary to protect its interests as well as to permit Agent or its designee (including a receiver) to obtain, maintain or renew any one or more of the governmental approvals for the Facility (or to become the owner of the existing governmental approvals for the Facility) and to the extent permitted by Applicable Laws to obtain any other provider agreements or governmental approvals then necessary or desirable for the operation of the Facility by Agent or its designee or receiver for their current use (including, without limitation, any applications for change of ownership of the existing governmental approvals or change of control of the owner of the existing governmental approvals, or the removal and replacement of Provider). To the extent permitted by Applicable Laws, in the event of foreclosure, receivership or other enforcement action by Agent, (x) Agent is hereby authorized (without the consent of Borrower or Provider) to submit any such applications, notices, documentation or other information which Borrower caused to be delivered to Agent in accordance with the above provisions to the applicable Governmental Authorities, or to take such other steps as Agent may deem advisable to obtain, maintain, sell, limit, transfer or renew any governmental approvals in connection with the operation of the Facility for its current intended use, and Borrower agrees to cooperate and to cause Provider to cooperate with Agent in connection with the same and (y) Borrower, upon demand by Agent, shall take any action and cause Provider to take any action necessary or desirable, in Agent’s sole judgment, to permit Agent or its designee (including a receiver) to use, operate and maintain the Facility for its current use. If Borrower fails to comply with the provisions of this Section 7.2.2(b) for any reason whatsoever, Borrower hereby irrevocably appoints Agent and its designee as Borrower’s attorney-in-fact, with full power of substitution, to take any action and execute any documents and instruments necessary or desirable in Agent’s sole judgment to permit Agent or its designee to undertake Borrower’s obligations under this Section 7.2.2(b), including obtaining any governmental approvals then required for the operation of the Facility by Agent or its designee for its current intended use. The foregoing power of attorney is coupled with an interest and is irrevocable and Agent may exercise its rights thereunder in addition to any other remedies which Agent may have against Borrower as a result of Borrower’s breach of the obligations contained in this subsection.
7.2.3 Attorney in Fact. Without restricting the generality of the foregoing and for the purposes aforesaid, Borrower hereby appoints and constitutes Agent its lawful attorney-in-fact with full power of substitution in the Property to do any of the following during the existence of an Event of Default: Complete any Construction Project or Construction Work in progress; use unadvanced funds remaining under the Notes or which may be reserved, escrowed or set aside for any purposes hereunder at any time, or to advance funds in excess of the face amount of the Notes; make changes in the applicable Construction Documents which shall be necessary or desirable to Complete each such Construction Project or such Construction Work; take over and use any and all personal property contracted for or purchased by the, if

7.2.4 Payments by Agent. All sums whatsoever paid or incurred by Agent or any Lender pursuant to Section 7.2 of any kind whatsoever, shall constitute Indebtedness and shall bear interest from the date of payment or incurrence until paid at the Default Rate. To the extent that any costs so paid or incurred by Agent in accordance with the terms hereof, together with all other Advances made by Lenders hereunder in accordance with the terms hereof. exceed the Loan Amount, such excess costs shall be paid by Borrower to Agent on demand, with interest thereon at the Default Rate until paid; and Borrower shall execute such notes or amendments to the Notes as may be requested by Agent to evidence Borrower’s obligation to pay such excess costs and until such notes or amendments are so executed by Borrower, Borrower’s obligation to pay such excess costs shall be deemed to be evidenced by this Agreement. In the event Agent takes possession of the Property and assumes control of such construction as aforesaid, Agent shall not be obligated to continue such construction longer than Agent shall see fit and may thereafter, at any time, change any course of action undertaken by it or abandon such construction and decline to make further payments for the account of Borrower whether or not the Project shall have been completed.

If Borrower shall fail promptly to discharge any mechanics’ claim filed or otherwise asserted or to contest any such claim and to cause the Title Company to insure against such claim in the manner required by this Agreement, or, having commenced to contest the same, if Borrower shall thereafter fail to prosecute such contest in good faith or with due diligence, or fail to maintain such security or indemnity so required by the Title Company for its full amount, or, upon adverse conclusion of any such contest, if Borrower shall fail to cause any judgment or decree to be satisfied and lien to be released, then, and in any such event, upon giving notice to Borrower, Agent and Lenders may, but shall not be required to, (i) procure the release and discharge of any such claim and any judgment or decree thereon, without inquiring into or investigating the amount, validity or enforceability of such lien or
73
claim, and (ii) effect any settlement or compromise of the same or furnish the security or indemnity required by the Title Company.

8.2 Nature of Interest. Borrower hereby represents, warrants, covenants and agrees as follows:
(a) Borrower (being the Debtor as that term is used in the Code) is and will be the true and lawful owner of the Personal Property and has rights in and the power to transfer the Personal Property, free and clear of all liens, charges or encumbrances other than liens and encumbrances in favor of Agent and liens and encumbrances, if any, expressly permitted by the Loan Documents.

(c) The only persons having any interest in the Personal Property are Borrower, Agent and holders of interests, if any, expressly permitted hereby.

The requirements of reasonable notice shall be met if such notice is mailed, by certified United States mail or equivalent, postage prepaid, to Borrower’s Address at least ten (10) days before the time of the sale or disposition. Agent or Lenders may buy any or all of the Personal Property at any public sale. Agent or Lenders may buy any or all of the Personal Property at private sale if the Personal Property is of a type customarily sold in a recognized market or is of a type which is the subject of widely distributed standard price quotations. Any such sale may be held in conjunction with any foreclosure sale of the Land, the Improvements and any other Collateral. The net proceeds realized upon any such disposition, after deduction for the expenses of retaking, holding, preparing for sale, selling and the reasonable attorneys’ fees and legal expenses incurred by Agent and Lenders, shall be applied against the Indebtedness in such order or manner as Agent shall select.

(ii) Borrower will cooperate with Agent and Lenders in obtaining control with respect to Collateral consisting of: deposit accounts, investment property, letter of credit rights and electronic chattel paper; and
(iii) Until all of the Obligations are paid and performed in full, Borrower will not suffer, cause or permit any change in Borrower’s legal status without Agent’s prior written consent.
ARTICLE 9
GENERAL PROVISIONS
9.1 Costs and Expenses. Borrower unconditionally agrees to pay all Charges within three (3) Business Days following written demand. In case of any Default, Borrower shall pay or cause to be paid all of Agent’s and Lenders’ costs and expenses, including attorneys’ fees in connection with the administration or enforcement of the Loan Documents, including, without limitation, those costs and expenses relating to: (a) the foreclosure of the Lien of the Mortgage or the exercise of the power of sale contained therein; (b) any sale pursuant the Code and/or the Bankruptcy Code (including, without limitation, a sale pursuant to Section 363 of the Bankruptcy Code); (c) any Insolvency Proceeding or Bankruptcy Action affecting any Borrower Party, Provider or the Proton Equipment Vendor; or (d) Agent’s or Lenders’ attempts to remedy or cure any such Default. In addition to, and without limiting the generality of, the foregoing, if at any time hereafter prior to repayment of the Indebtedness in full and all Obligations satisfied in full, Agent employs counsel, consultants or appraisers for advice or other representation, whether or not any suit has been or shall be filed and whether or not other legal proceedings have been or shall be instituted, with respect to the Property or the marketing thereof or any of the Loan Documents, in connection with any consent, approval or amendment or to protect, collect, lease, sell, take possession of, or liquidate any of the Collateral, or to attempt to enforce any
76
security interest or lien in any of the Collateral, or to enforce any rights of Agent or Lenders or any of Borrower’s obligations hereunder or those of any other person, firm or corporation which may be obligated to Agent or Lenders by virtue of this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents heretofore or hereafter delivered to Agent by or for the benefit of Borrower to defend any litigation initiated by a third-party to which Agent or Lenders become a party, or in connection with any Insolvency Proceeding or Bankruptcy Action, then, in any such event, all of the reasonable fees and expenses arising from such services, and all expenses, costs and charges relating thereto, shall constitute additional Indebtedness, payable on demand and shall bear interest at the Default Rate. Agent and Lenders may make Advances at any time to reimburse Agent and Lenders for the foregoing costs and expenses. Wherever it is provided for herein that Borrower pay any costs and expenses, such costs and expenses shall include, but not be limited to, all legal fees and disbursements of Agent and Lenders, whether for outside firms, or for in-house counsel.
9.2 Effect of Inspections and Investigations. The authority herein conferred upon Agent, and any action taken by Agent, to inspect the Property, will be exercised and taken by Agent for its and Lenders’ own protection only and shall not be relied upon by any Borrower Party or any other Person for any purpose whatsoever and any action taken by Agent or Agent’s consultant (whether an environmental consultant, engineer, architect, or otherwise) to review any reports or to assess any matters in connection with the Property will be exercised and taken by Agent and by Agent’s consultant for their and Lenders own protection only and shall not be relied upon by any Borrower Party or any other Person for any purpose whatsoever; and neither Agent nor Agent’s consultant shall be deemed to have assumed any responsibility to any Borrower Party with respect to any such action herein authorized or taken by Agent, or Agent’s consultant or with respect to the Property, or prevention of mechanic’s and other liens from being claimed or asserted against the Property or review and assessment of environmental or any other matters. Any review, investigation or inspection conducted by Agent, any environmental, architectural, engineering or other consultants retained by Agent or any agent or representative of Agent or any Lender in order to verify independently Borrower’s satisfaction of any conditions precedent to Advances, Borrower’s performance of any of the covenants, agreements and obligations of Borrower or any other Borrower Party under the Loan Documents, or the validity of any representations and warranties made hereunder (regardless of whether or not the party conducting such review, investigation or inspection should have discovered that any of such conditions precedent were not satisfied or that any such covenants, agreements or obligations were not performed or that any such representations or warranties were not true), shall neither affect nor constitute a waiver by Agent or Lenders of (i) any representations and warranties under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents or Agent’s or Lenders’ reliance thereon or (ii) Agent’s or Lenders’ reliance upon any certifications of Borrower required under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents or any other facts, information or reports furnished Agent hereunder or thereunder or otherwise in connection with the Loan. Neither Agent nor Lenders undertakes or assumes any responsibility or duty to any Borrower Party or any other party to select, review, inspect, examine, supervise, pass judgment upon or inform any Borrower Party or any third party of (a) the existence, quality, adequacy or suitability of appraisals of the Property or any other Collateral, (b) any environmental report, or (c) any other matters or items, including, but not limited to, engineering, soils and seismic reports which are contemplated in the Loan Documents. Any such selection, review, inspection, examination and the like, and any other due diligence conducted by Agent or Lenders is solely for the purpose of
77
protecting Agent’s and Lenders’ rights under the Loan Documents, and shall not render such Agent or Lenders liable to any Borrower Party or any third party for the existence, sufficiency, accuracy, completeness or legality thereof.
9.3 Acquiescence not to Constitute Waiver of Requirements. Each and every covenant and condition for the benefit of Agent and Lenders contained in this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents may be waived by Agent, provided, however, that, to the extent that Agent may have acquiesced in any noncompliance with any conditions precedent to the Initial Disbursement or any Advance, such acquiescence shall not be deemed to constitute a waiver by Agent or Lenders of any such conditions precedent with respect to any future disbursements of Loan proceeds.
9.4 Protective Advances. Agent and Lenders shall have the right, but not the obligation, to do any and all acts which Agent may deem reasonably necessary to assure the protection of the Collateral and the lien or charge of the Loan Documents, including, but not limited to, during the continuance of an Event of Default and in addition to the rights under Article 7 and Article 8 hereof and any remedies set forth in the other Loan Documents, the settlement, compromise or contest of any Lien or claim of Lien, the taking of possession of the Property and Completion of all Construction Work and the commencement of, appearance in, or defense of any action or proceeding purporting to affect the rights, obligations or duties of the parties hereto. Any expense paid or incurred (including attorneys’ fees and court costs), or any advance made by Agent or Lenders in such connection, shall be paid by Borrower to Agent upon demand. Such amounts as are advanced or expended by Agent or Lenders hereunder and any other amounts advanced by Agent or Lenders pursuant to this Agreement or any other the other Loan Documents shall constitute Indebtedness and shall bear interest from the date of advance or expenditure until repayment at the Default Rate.
9.5 Increased Costs. Borrower shall pay directly to a Lender such amounts as are necessary to compensate such Lender for Additional Costs resulting from any change after the date hereof in any applicable law or by any domestic or foreign court, which (i) subjects such Lender to any tax, duty or other charge with respect to the Loan or its Note, or changes the basis of taxation of any amounts payable to such Lender under the Loan or its Note (other than taxes imposed on the overall net income of such Lender), (ii) imposes, modifies or deems applicable any reserve, special deposit or similar requirements relating to any extensions of credit or other assets of, or any deposits with or other liabilities of, such Lender, (iii) imposes on such Lender any other condition affecting the Loan or its Note, or any of such extensions of credit or liabilities or (iv) imposes any capital adequacy requirements on such Lender by virtue of the Loan or the Notes. Such Lender will notify Borrower (with a copy to Agent) of any event occurring after the date hereof which would entitle it to compensation pursuant to this paragraph as promptly as practicable after it obtains knowledge thereof and determines to request such compensation, and will use reasonable efforts to mitigate such Additional Costs, provided, however, that, in order for any such notice to be effective to impose on Borrower the obligation to pay any such amount, such notice must be delivered by Lender in question within ninety (90) days after such Lender should reasonably have been aware of the event giving rise to its entitlement to compensation. Any amount payable by Borrower under this Section 9.5 shall be paid within five (5) days of receipt by Borrower of a notice by a Lender setting forth the amount due and the basis for the determination of such amount, which statement shall be conclusive and
78
binding upon Borrower absent manifest error. Failure on the part of a Lender to demand payment from Borrower for any such amount attributable to any particular period shall not constitute a waiver of such Lender’s right to demand payment of such amount for any subsequent or prior period.
9.6 Tax Liability. If, by reason of a change in any applicable tax, banking or lending laws or regulations occurring after the date hereof, (a) Borrower is required to make any deduction or withholding in respect of any taxes, duties or other charges from any payment due under the Loan Documents, (b) Agent or Lenders are charged with responsibility for the payment of all or any part of the Impositions or (c) the method of collecting Impositions is changed so as to affect Agent’s or Lenders’ rights under this Agreement or any other Loan Document, or the liens and security interests granted under the Loan Documents, then upon Agent’s demand Borrower shall pay to Agent the amount determined by Agent as necessary to fully compensate Agent and Lenders for all losses that Agent or Lenders may suffer as a result of such change; provided that if Agent determines that it may be unlawful to charge Borrower for such losses then Agent shall have the right to declare all Indebtedness to be fully due and payable not earlier than sixty (60) days from the date of such declaration.
9.7 Document and Recording Tax Indemnification. Borrower agrees to indemnify, defend and hold harmless Agent and Lenders from and against any claim that any documentary stamp or mortgage tax is due and payable in connection with the Loan or the execution, delivery or recording of the Loan Documents and to pay such taxes and expenses incurred by Agent or Lenders in connection therewith. Borrower may contest any determination that any such taxes are due, but shall pay any such taxes (including penalties and interest) when legally required. The indemnity obligations contained in this Section shall survive repayment of the Loan.
79
9.8 Assignments and Participations.
(a) Any Non-Delinquent Lender may, with the prior written consent of Agent, which shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed, at any time or times and without Borrower’s consent, grant any Participation in its Pro Rata Share of the Loan to one or more Persons not an Affiliate of Borrower or Guarantor (each a “Participant”). In the event of any such grant by a Lender of a Participation to a Participant, such Lender shall remain responsible for the performance of its obligations hereunder, and Agent shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations hereunder, and Agent shall have no obligation to communicate with, give any notice to, make any payment to or take any direction from, any Participant. Each Lender agrees for the benefit of Borrower that any agreement pursuant to which any Lender may grant a Participation shall provide that such Lender shall retain the sole right and responsibility to enforce the obligations of Borrower hereunder and under any other Loan Document, including, without limitation, the right to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document; provided, however, that such participation agreement may provide that such Lender will not agree to any modification, amendment or waiver described in clauses (i) through (vii) of Section 9.16 without the consent of the Participant.
(b) Upon request by Borrower, each Lender agrees to provide Borrower with notice of all Participations sold by such Lender, which shall acknowledge and represent compliance with the above terms of this Section 9.8. Borrower agrees to provide all assistance reasonably requested by a Lender to enable such Lender to sell Participations as aforesaid, or make assignments of its interest in the Loan as hereinafter provided in this Section.
(c) Any Non-Delinquent Lender may, with the prior written consent of Agent, which shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed, at any time or times and without Borrower’s consent, make a Loan Transfer to an Eligible Lender not an Affiliate of Borrower or Guarantor (such assignee, an “Assignee”) subject to the following conditions: (i) the aggregate amount of the Individual Loan Commitment of the assigning Lender being assigned pursuant to each such assignment (determined as of the date of the Assignment and Acceptance Agreement with respect to such assignment) shall not cause or otherwise result in said assigning Lender’s remaining unassigned Individual Loan Commitment to be less than $5,000,000; (ii) the Assignee shall execute and deliver to Agent, for its approval, acceptance and recording in a register maintained by Agent, an Assignment and Acceptance Agreement, together with a processing and recordation fee of $5,000 for Agent’s own account; (iii) the principal amount of any assigned Individual Loan Commitment shall be not less than $5,000,000; (iv) each such Loan Transfer shall be to an Eligible Lender; and (v) the Assignee and/or the assigning Lender shall pay to Agent all of Agent’s reasonable costs and expenses incurred in connection with such Loan Transfer. Upon such execution, delivery, approval, acceptance and recording, from and after the effective date specified in each Assignment and Acceptance Agreement, (1) Assignee thereunder shall be a party to this Agreement and, to the extent that rights and obligations hereunder have been assigned to it pursuant to such Assignment and Acceptance Agreement, have the rights and obligations of a Lender hereunder and (2) the assigning Lender thereunder shall to the extent that rights and obligations hereunder have been assigned by it pursuant to such Assignment and Acceptance Agreement, relinquish its rights and be released from its obligations under this Agreement arising from and after the date of such Assignment and Acceptance Agreement.
80
Notwithstanding anything contained in this Agreement to the contrary, ORIX Capital Markets, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, as Lender and not Agent (“ORIX”), shall have the right, at its sole option, to cause Varian Medical Systems International AG, a Swiss corporation, and its successors, assigns and participants in its capacity as Lender (“Varian”), to make a Loan Transfer to ORIX (or its assignee or designee), at any time and from time to time, of all or any portion of Varian’s Individual Loan Commitment (whether funded or not). In the event ORIX elects to exercise its right to cause Varian to make a Loan Transfer to ORIX (or its assignee or designee), ORIX shall deliver written notice to Varian (with a copy to Agent) setting forth the amount of Varian’s Individual Loan Commitment that ORIX (or its assignee or designee) desires to purchase (a “Transfer Notice”), and in such event, Varian, as the assigning Lender, shall sell to ORIX (or its assignee or designee), as Assignee, that portion of Varian’s Individual Loan Commitment set forth in such Transfer Notice. The purchase price to be paid by ORIX (or its assignee or designee) to Varian for any such Loan Transfer shall be no less than that portion of the then outstanding principal amount of Varian’s Individual Loan Commitment set forth in the Transfer Notice and all interest accrued thereon prior to the date of the completion of the Loan Transfer, and shall exclude all fees (including, without limitation, the Exit Fee, the Amortization Conversion Fee and the Minimum Lookback Amount), costs, charges and other amounts payable after the completion of the Loan Transfer, as further described in the Assignment and Acceptance Agreement, which ORIX (or its assignee or designee) and Varian agree to execute within fifteen (15) Business Days of Varian’s receipt of ORIX’s written election notice. No later than one (1) Business Day after ORIX (or its assignee or designee) receives an originally executed counterpart of such Assignment and Acceptance Agreement, ORIX (or its assignee or designee) shall pay to Varian (in immediately available U.S. funds) the purchase price and such other sums as set forth in such Assignment and Acceptance Agreement. In addition to the foregoing, upon any exercise by ORIX of its rights contained in this paragraph, ORIX and Varian agree to comply with and perform all of the applicable covenants and agreements set forth in this Section 9.8. If Varian fails to execute the Assignment and Acceptance Agreement as set forth above, ORIX may exercise any remedies which ORIX may have as a result of a breach of the obligations contained in this paragraph. Varian and ORIX shall reasonably cooperate with each other, and shall do all things reasonably necessary or desirable, to affect the intent of this paragraph.
(d) By executing and delivering an Assignment and Acceptance Agreement, the assigning Lender thereunder and the Assignee thereunder confirm to and agree with each other and the other parties hereto as follows: (i) other than as provided in such Assignment and Acceptance Agreement, such assigning Lender makes no representation or warranty and assumes no responsibility with respect to any statements, warranties or representations made in or in connection with this Agreement or any other Loan Document or the execution, legality, validity, enforceability, genuineness, sufficiency or value of this Agreement or any other Loan Document furnished pursuant hereto or the attachment, perfection or priority of any Lien granted by Borrower to Agent or any Lender in the Collateral; (ii) such assigning Lender makes no representation or warranty and assumes no responsibility with respect to the financial condition of Borrower or Guarantor or the performance or observance by Borrower or Guarantor of any of their obligations under this Agreement or any other Loan Document furnished pursuant hereto; (iii) such Assignee confirms that it has received a copy of all Loan Documents and such other documents and information as it has deemed appropriate to make its own credit analysis and decision to enter into such Assignment and Acceptance Agreement; (iv) such Assignee will,
81
independently and without reliance upon the Agent, such assigning Lender or any other Lender, and based on such documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own credit decisions in taking or not taking action under this Agreement; (v) such Assignee appoints and authorizes Agent to take such action as agent on its behalf and to exercise such powers under this Agreement as are delegated to Agent by the terms hereof, together with such powers, including the discretionary rights and incidental power, as are reasonably incidental thereto; and (vi) such Assignee agrees that it will be bound by and will perform in accordance with their terms all of the obligations which by the terms of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents are required to be performed by it as a Lender.
(e) Upon its receipt of an Assignment and Acceptance Agreement executed by an assigning Lender and Assignee, Agent shall, if such Assignment and Acceptance Agreement has been properly completed and is in substantially the form of Exhibit F attached hereto, accept such Assignment and Acceptance Agreement and give prompt notice thereof to Borrower. Until such time as Agent shall have accepted any such Assignment and Acceptance Agreement, Agent shall have no obligation to communicate with or accept or take into account any communication from any Assignee and Agent shall continue to deal solely and directly with any such assigning Lender in connection with the Loan, this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.
(f) In connection with the execution and delivery of each Assignment and Acceptance Agreement as provided for in this Section 9.8, the assigning Lender shall deliver to Agent the superseded Note or Notes and Agent shall deliver to Borrower for execution by Borrower, substitute notes, in the form of Exhibit E, in order to reflect the appropriate Individual Loan Commitment of the assigning Lender and Assignee after giving effect to such Assignment and Acceptance Agreement. Borrower hereby covenants and agrees to promptly execute said new Notes and to promptly return them to Agent so that Agent may deliver said new Notes to the appropriate Lenders; provided, however, Agent shall not deliver said new Notes unless and until the assigning Lender shall have delivered the superseded Note to Agent. The assigning Lender hereby appoints Agent as its attorney-in-fact (coupled with an interest) for the sole purpose of canceling the superseded Note and the assigning Lender hereby covenants and agrees that Agent shall not be liable for any action taken or omitted to be taken by Agent in connection therewith, unless caused by Agent’s own gross negligence or willful misconduct. Upon Borrower’s request, Agent shall stamp each superseded Note “SUPERSEDED” and shall attach each said superseded Note to, and each said superseded Note shall become a part of, the new Notes and Agent shall deliver said new Notes to the appropriate Lenders. All such new Notes shall constitute “Notes” and the obligations evidenced by such substitute notes shall constitute obligations secured by the Mortgage. In connection with Borrower’s execution of any such new Notes, Borrower shall deliver to Agent such evidence of the due authorization, execution and delivery of the substitute notes and any related documents as Agent and/or Assignee may reasonably request. Assignee shall, prior to the first date on which interest or fees are payable hereunder for its account, deliver to Borrower and Agent certification as to exemption from deduction, backup withholding and withholding of any United States federal income taxes in accordance with Section 10.13 and otherwise furnish to Borrower and Agent such forms, certifications, statements and other documents as either of them may reasonably request from time to time to evidence that such Assignee is entitled to receive any payments to be made to it hereunder without the withholding of any tax or increased liability for any Additional Costs.
82
(g) Borrower, Agent and Lenders shall execute such modifications to the Loan Documents as shall, in the reasonable judgment of Agent, be necessary or desirable in connection with assignments in accordance with the foregoing provisions of this Section.
(h) Borrower recognizes that in connection with a Lender’s selling of Participations or making of assignments, any or all documentation, financial statements, appraisals and other data, or copies thereof, relevant to Borrower, Guarantor or the Loan may be exhibited to and retained by any such Participant or Assignee or prospective Participant or Assignee. A Lender’s delivery of any financial statements and appraisals to any such Participant or Assignee or prospective Participant or Assignee shall be done on a confidential basis.
9.9 Cooperation. Borrower shall, and shall cause each of the other Borrower Parties to, fully cooperate with Agent and Lenders in connection with servicing the Loan, any Loan Transfer, Participation or any other financing created or obtained in connection with the Loan and, if Agent elects at any time, in connection with the creation of tranches of the Loan or splitting the Loan into separate Loans (in the aggregate amount of the Loan Amount) having different priorities, including signing new notes and amendments to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents evidencing such tranches or splitting of the Loan, provided that the Loan Amount, the Interest Rate, timing of payments by Borrower and other economic terms of the Loan shall not, taken as a whole, be changed as a result thereof. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Borrower shall, upon request, (a) provide additional information regarding the Project, Borrower, Guarantor, and any Affiliates of the foregoing (including, without limitation, additional appraisals, environmental reports, engineering reports and similar due diligence materials and updates), (b) supply such documentation, financial statements, and reports that may be required to comply with applicable securities and other laws and regulations, (c) make modifications to any of the Loan Documents and/or the Organizational Documents, (d) make revisions to existing legal opinions and deliver updated or additional legal opinions, (e) deliver updated and additional tenant estoppel certificates, subordination agreements and similar agreements, and (f) deliver updated certificates necessary or appropriate to effect such transaction, provided that no such modification, revision, additional documents or other action in connection with such cooperation shall materially increase the obligations or materially decrease the rights of Borrower under the Loan Documents. The costs of such cooperation, and providing such additional opinions, documents, revisions, modifications and actions, shall be borne by Borrower. At Agent’s request, Borrower Parties shall make such representations and warranties as of the date of any Loan Transfer or Participation as are customary in such transactions, and shall review and confirm any factual information or disclosures with respect to the Project, Borrower Parties and their respective Affiliates contained in any private placement memorandum, prospectus, registration statement or other offering materials relating to any Loan Transfer or Participation.
9.10 Disclosure of Information.
(a) Agent and Lenders shall have the right to make available to any party for the purpose of any Loan Transfer, Participation or any other financing created or obtained in connection with the Loan (including any prospective purchaser, any Rating Agency, any Governmental Authority and any prospective bidder at any foreclosure sale of the Property) any and all information that Agent or Lenders may have with respect to the Property, the Facility
83
Lease, any Borrower Party, or any other document or agreement in connection with the transaction represented by the Loan Documents, whether provided by Borrower, Guarantor or any third party or obtained as a result of any audits, environmental or other assessments, or otherwise. Borrower and Guarantor agree that neither Agent nor Lenders shall have any liability whatsoever as a result of delivering any such information to any third party, and Borrower and Guarantor, on behalf of itself and its successors and assigns, hereby releases and discharges Agent and Lenders from any and all liability, claims, damages, or causes of action, arising out of, connected with or incidental to the delivery of any such information to any third party. Borrower and Guarantor each irrevocably waives any and all rights it may have under applicable state or federal law to prohibit disclosure, including but not limited to any right of privacy. Further Borrower and Guarantor acknowledge that such information may be transmitted via the internet or by email.
(b) Without limiting Section 9.10(a), all news releases, publicity or advertising by Borrower, Guarantor, or their Affiliates, through any media intended to reach the general public which refers to the Loan Documents or the financing evidenced by the Loan Documents, or to Borrower, Agent or Lenders, shall be subject to the prior written approval of Agent, such approval of Agent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Borrower, Guarantor, and their Affiliates shall use commercially reasonable efforts to keep all information obtained in connection with the transaction described in this Agreement, confidential, except that any such party, as applicable, may disclose any such information (i) to its auditors, attorneys and other consultants in connection with the transaction described in this Agreement (each such recipient being informed of the confidential nature of such information and directed to keep the same confidential), (ii) to the extent required by any Applicable Law, and (iii) if such information is otherwise available to the public not through a breach hereof.
9.11 Notices. All Notices shall be in writing and shall be (a) delivered in person, in which event the Notice shall be deemed received when delivery (or refusal of receipt) is actually made, (b) sent by facsimile, in which event the Notice shall be deemed received on the date of transmission if transmission is confirmed before 4:00 p.m. Dallas time on a Business Day or if transmission is confirmed after 4:00 p.m. Dallas time, then on the next Business Day provided that the sender obtains electronic confirmation of receipt and that a copy of such Notice is also delivered pursuant to clause (a) or (c); or (c) sent by a nationally recognized overnight courier for next Business Day delivery, in which event the Notice shall be deemed received on the first Business Day after delivery to, and acceptance for delivery by, the courier. All such Notices shall be addressed to the party for whom the Notice is intended, with a copy to its attorney, at their respective Addresses indicated in Section 1.1 of this Agreement and if sent by facsimile such Notices shall be sent to the facsimile number set forth in Section 1.1. Either party may change its Address or facsimile number by giving written notice to the other in accordance with the foregoing notice provision.
9.12 No Waiver; Rights and Remedies Cumulative. No action by Agent or Lenders, including, without limitation, any course of conduct, course of dealings, statements or actions, and no failure by Agent or Lenders to (1) insist upon strict performance of any term, condition, covenant or agreement contained in any of the Loan Documents, (2) exercise, or delay by Agent or Lenders in exercising, any right, remedy, power or privilege under any of the Loan Documents, shall in any event operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise
84
of any right, remedy, power or privilege under any of the Loan Documents preclude any other or further exercise thereof, or the exercise of any other right, remedy, power or privilege. In particular, and not by way of limitation, by accepting payment after the due date of any amount payable under this Agreement, any Note or any other Loan Document, Agent shall not be deemed to have waived any right either to require prompt payment when due of all other amounts due under this Agreement, the Notes or the other Loan Documents, or to declare a default for failure to effect prompt payment of any such other amount. Moreover, a waiver of one Default or Event of Default with respect to any Borrower Party shall not be construed to be a waiver of any subsequent Default or Event of Default with respect to such Borrower Party or any other Borrower Party or to impair any remedy, right or power consequent thereon. Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, Agent shall have no obligation to accept any tender of any cure, or attempt to cure, by or on behalf of Borrower unless and until Agent receives written instructions from the Required Lenders, and Agent’s acceptance of any cure of an Event of Default shall not be deemed to be a waiver of Agent’s right to refuse acceptance of any future tender of any cure of, or attempt to cure, an Event of Default. The rights and remedies provided in this Agreement and the other Loan Documents are cumulative and not exclusive of any right or remedy provided by law. No notice to or demand on Borrower in any case shall, in itself, entitle Borrower to any other or further notice or demand in similar or other circumstances or constitute a waiver of the rights of Agent or Lenders to any other or further action in any circumstances without notice or demand.
9.13 Inurement. This Agreement and the Loan Documents shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the respective parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns, provided that no assignment by Borrower shall be effective, except as provided herein.
9.14 Form of Documents. All documents and other matters required by any of the provisions of this Agreement to be submitted or furnished to Agent shall be in form and substance satisfactory to Agent.
9.15 Time is of the Essence. Time is hereby declared to be of the essence of this Agreement, the other Loan Documents and of every part, term and provision hereof and thereof, and each and every obligation hereunder and thereunder.
9.16 Entire Agreement; Amendments. This Agreement and the other Loan Documents constitute the entire agreement between the parties hereto, and no modification, waiver, amendment, discharge or change of this Agreement or any other Loan Document nor any provision hereof or thereof shall be valid unless the same is in writing and signed by the party against which the enforcement of such modification, waiver, amendment, discharge or change is sought (it being understood, however, that the signature of Agent, shall be sufficient to bind Lenders to any such modification, waiver, amendment, discharge or change); provided, however, that the foregoing shall not limit or otherwise affect a provision hereof or any other Loan Document pursuant to which Agent is authorized to consent to or approve of any matter without the need for any Lender approval; provided, further, that no amendment, waiver or consent shall, unless in writing and signed by all Lenders (subject, however, to the provisions of Section 10.16(d)), do any of the following: (i) reduce the principal of, or interest on, the Notes or any fees due hereunder or any other amount due hereunder or under any other Loan Document; (ii) postpone any date fixed for any payment of principal of, or interest on, the Notes or any fees due
85
hereunder or under any other Loan Document; (iii) release any material portion of the Collateral or other collateral for the Loan; (iv) amend this Section 9.16 or Sections 9.8, 10.1 or 10.3; (v) release, in whole or in part, Guarantor; (vi) increase the Loan Amount; (vii) change the definition of “Required Lenders”; or (viii) change the amount of the Individual Loan Commitment of any Lender (it being understood that no amendment, modification, termination, waiver or consent with respect to any condition precedent, covenant, mandatory prepayment or Default shall constitute a change in the Individual Loan Commitment of any Lender) (the foregoing items (i) through (viii) are collectively known as “Major Decisions”). This Agreement supersedes any other agreement, oral or written, made by Lenders with or for the benefit of Borrower.
All communications from Agent to Lenders requesting Lenders’ determination, consent, approval or disapproval (1) shall be given in the form of a written notice to each Lender, (2) shall be accompanied by or include a description or copy of the matter or thing as to which such determination, approval, consent or disapproval is requested and (3) shall include Agent’s recommended course of action or determination in respect thereof. Each Lender shall reply promptly, but in any event within seven (7) Business Days (or three (3) Business Days with respect to any decision to accelerate or stop acceleration of the Loan) after receipt of the request therefor by Agent (the “Lender Reply Period”). Unless a Lender shall give written notice to Agent that it approves the recommendation or determination of Agent within the Lender Reply Period, such Lender shall be deemed to have disapproved such recommendation or determination.
If all Lenders are unable to reach an agreement with respect to a Major Decision within ten (10) Business Days after the expiration of the Lender Reply Period, then Agent shall thereafter have the right to take such steps as are necessary (including the right to declare a default or commence an enforcement action or proceeding) to preserve and protect the Collateral until such time as all Lenders have reached agreement with respect to any Major Decisions. Agent may consult with legal counsel and other experts and advisors selected by it and Agent shall not be liable for actions taken or omitted to be taken so long as such action or omission does not violate another provision of this Agreement and such action taken or omitted to be taken does not constitute willful misconduct or gross negligence.
9.17 Governing Law. THIS AGREEMENT AND THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS SHALL BE DEEMED TO BE CONTRACTS ENTERED INTO PURSUANT TO THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK AND SHALL IN ALL RESPECTS BE GOVERNED, CONSTRUED, APPLIED AND ENFORCED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK (WITHOUT REGARD TO PRINCIPLES OF CONFLICTS OF LAWS), INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITING THE GENERALITY OF THE FOREGOING, MATTERS OF CONSTRUCTION, VALIDITY AND PERFORMANCE, AND TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, BORROWER HEREBY UNCONDITIONALLY AND IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ANY CLAIM TO ASSERT THAT THE LAW OF ANY OTHER JURISDICTION GOVERNS THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OF THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS, AND THIS AGREEMENT AND THE NOTES SHALL BE GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK PURSUANT TO § 5-1401 OF THE NEW YORK GENERAL OBLIGATIONS LAW; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, THAT THE LAWS OF THE STATE
86

9.24 Claims Against Agent or Lenders. Neither Agent nor any Lender shall be in default under this Agreement, or under any other Loan Documents, unless a written notice specifically setting forth the claim of Borrower shall have been given to Agent within thirty (30) days after Borrower first had Knowledge of the occurrence of the event which Borrower alleges gave rise to such claim and Agent or Lenders do not remedy or cure the default, if any there be, promptly thereafter. No Lender shall be liable for any act or omission of any other Lender or for any default on the part of any other Lender.
9.25 Offsets, Counterclaims and Defenses. Borrower hereby unconditionally and irrevocably waives the right to assert a counterclaim, other than a compulsory counterclaim, in any action or proceeding brought against it by Agent or any Lender or their agents or otherwise offset any obligations to make payments required under the Loan Documents. Any assignee of any Lender’s interest in and to the Loan Documents shall take the same free and clear of all offsets, counterclaims or defenses which Borrower may otherwise have against any assignor of such documents, and no such offset, counterclaim or defense shall be interposed or asserted by Borrower in any action or proceeding brought by any such assignee upon such documents, and any such right to interpose or assert any such offset, counterclaim or defense in any such action or proceeding is hereby expressly waived by Borrower.

9.27 Relationship.
(a) The relationship between Lenders and Borrower shall be that of creditor-debtor only. No term in this Agreement or in the other Loan Documents and no course of dealing
88
between the parties shall be deemed to create any relationship of agency, partnership or joint venture or any fiduciary duty by Agent or Lenders to Borrower or any other party.
(b) Lenders agree and accept that Varian and Proton Equipment Vendor are and will be treated at all times under the Loan Documents as separate legal entities. No default by Proton Equipment Vendor of its obligations under the Proton Equipment Vendor Documents shall entitle Agent or any Lender to exercise any remedy or offset right against Varian or will in any way affect the rights of Varian as a Lender under the Loan Documents.
9.28 Agents. In exercising any rights under the Loan Documents or taking any actions provided for therein, Agent may act through its employees, agents or independent contractors as authorized by Agent.
9.29 Waiver of Marshaling of Assets.

9.30 Conflict. In the event of any conflict between the provisions of this Agreement and any of the other Loan Documents, the provisions of this Agreement shall control.
9.31 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 transaction contemplated by this Agreement other than Broker.

This Agreement and the other Loan Documents are solely for the benefit of Agent, Lenders and Borrower, and nothing contained in this Agreement or the other Loan Documents shall be deemed to confer upon anyone other than Agent, Lenders and Borrower any right to insist upon or to enforce the performance or observance of any of the obligations contained herein or therein. All conditions to the obligations of Lenders to make the Loan hereunder are imposed solely and exclusively for the benefit of Agent, Lenders and Borrower, and no other person or entity shall have standing to require

Borrower expressly acknowledges that, subject to extension according to the terms of Rider 1.1.4 attached to this Agreement, neither Agent nor Lenders are under any obligation whatsoever to extend or defer the Maturity Date or Borrower’s obligation to repay the Indebtedness in a manner entirely consistent with the schedule and requirements of this Agreement. Borrower further acknowledges that, subject to extension according to the terms of Rider 1.1.4 attached to this Agreement, neither Agent nor Lenders have made nor implied any agreement, commitment or understanding whatsoever to extend the Maturity Date or to provide refinancing of the Indebtedness (or any part thereof) upon the Maturity Date (or at any other time). Borrower expressly recognizes that the market for obtaining real estate financing including financing for properties similar in nature to the Property is volatile and uncertain and Borrower understands and agrees that the risk and obligation to pay the Indebtedness in accordance with the precise terms of this Agreement is the sole responsibility of Borrower and, in undertaking such responsibility, Borrower has taken into account the risks associated with the volatile market for credit availability.
9.34 Waiver of Jury Trial. BORROWER HEREBY AGREES NOT TO ELECT A TRIAL BY JURY OF ANY ISSUE TRIABLE OF RIGHT BY JURY, AND UNCONDITIONALLY AND IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ANY RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY FULLY TO THE EXTENT THAT ANY SUCH RIGHT SHALL NOW OR HEREAFTER EXIST WITH REGARD TO THE LOAN DOCUMENTS, OR ANY CLAIM, COUNTERCLAIM OR OTHER ACTION ARISING IN CONNECTION THEREWITH. THIS WAIVER OF RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IS GIVEN KNOWINGLY AND VOLUNTARILY BY BORROWER, AND IS INTENDED TO ENCOMPASS INDIVIDUALLY EACH INSTANCE AND EACH ISSUE AS TO WHICH THE RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY WOULD OTHERWISE ACCRUE.

No listing of specific instances, items or matters in any way limits the scope or generality of any language in the Loan Documents. This Agreement and all of the other Loan Documents shall not be construed more strictly against one party than against the other, merely by virtue of the fact that it may have been prepared primarily by counsel for one of the parties. Unless otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, any matter requiring Agent’s or Lenders’ consent or approval shall be interpreted as requiring Agent’s or Lenders’ consent or approval in the exercise of its sole, absolute and arbitrary discretion, shall be final and conclusive, and any such consent or approval shall be in writing, unless otherwise specifically indicated.
9.38 Survival. This Agreement and all covenants, agreements, representations and warranties made herein, in the certificates delivered pursuant hereto and in the other Loan Documents shall survive the making by Lenders of the Loan and the execution and delivery to Lenders of the Notes, and shall, unless a longer survival period is specified, continue in full force and effect so long as any of the Indebtedness is unpaid or such longer period if expressly set

ARTICLE 10
AGENT; RELATIONS AMONG LENDERS
10.1 Appointment, Powers and Immunities of Agent.
(a) Each Lender hereby irrevocably appoints and authorizes Agent to act as its exclusive agent hereunder and under all other Loan Documents with such powers as are delegated to Agent by the terms of this Agreement and any other Loan Document, together with such other powers as are reasonably incidental thereto, and to take such action on its behalf under the provisions of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and to exercise such powers as are set forth herein or therein together with such other powers as are incidental thereto. Each Lender hereby irrevocably authorizes Agent to execute and deliver each of the Loan Documents and to accept delivery of such of the other Loan Documents as may not require execution by Agent. Agent shall perform its obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents in good faith according to the same standard of care as that customarily exercised by Agent in administering its own real estate loans, and Agent may take such action, or refrain from taking such action, as it shall deem, in its sole discretion, to be in the best interest of Lenders. Agent shall have no duties or responsibilities except those expressly set forth in this Agreement and any other Loan Document or required by Applicable Laws, and shall not by reason of this Agreement be a fiduciary or trustee for any Lender except to the extent that Agent acts as an agent with respect to the receipt or payment of funds, nor shall Agent have any fiduciary duty to Borrower nor shall any Lender have any fiduciary duty to Borrower or any other Lender. No implied covenants, responsibilities, duties, obligations or liabilities shall be read into this Agreement or otherwise exist against Agent. Neither Agent nor any of its directors, officers, employees, agents, attorneys-in-fact or affiliates shall be responsible to Lenders for any recitals, statements, representations or warranties made by Borrower or any officer, partner or official of
92
Borrower or any other Person contained in this Agreement or any other Loan Document, or in any certificate or other document or instrument referred to or provided for in, or received by any of them under, this Agreement or any other Loan Document, or for the value, legality, validity, effectiveness, genuineness, enforceability or sufficiency of this Agreement or any other Loan Document or any other document or instrument referred to or provided for herein or therein, for the perfection or priority of any lien securing the obligations hereunder or thereunder or for any failure by Borrower or any Guarantor to perform any of its obligations hereunder or thereunder. Agent may employ agents and attorneys-in-fact and shall not be responsible, except as to money or securities received by it or its authorized agents, for the negligence or misconduct of any such agents or attorneys-in-fact selected by it with reasonable care. Neither Agent nor any of its directors, officers, employees, agents, attorneys-in-fact or affiliates (collectively, the “Agent Releasees”) shall be liable or responsible to Lenders for any action taken or omitted to be taken by it or them hereunder or under any other Loan Document or in connection herewith or therewith, and each Lender hereby irrevocably, unconditionally and fully releases the Agent Releasees from, and irrevocably, unconditionally and fully waives all claims against the Agent Releasees for, any and all claims, disputes, liabilities, damages, debts, liens, actions and causes of action of any and every nature whatsoever, known or unknown, whether at law, by statute or in equity, in contract or in tort, which any Lender has, may have or may claim to have, against the Agent Releasees arising out of or with respect to any and all transactions, events, or matters of any kind or character relating to the Loan, the Loan Documents, the Property or the other Collateral, except for those matters arising directly from Agent’s gross negligence or willful misconduct. All funds received by Agent on behalf of Lenders with respect to the Loan shall be held by Agent for the benefit of all Lenders, may be commingled with the general funds of Agent (other than the Blocked Account and the Escrow Accounts), and shall be distributed pursuant to the terms and provisions of this Agreement.
(b) Agent shall have all necessary power, right and obligation to take any and all action of the type specified in this Agreement or any other Loan Document as being within Agent’s or Lender’s rights, powers or discretion or, with respect to Major Decisions, in accordance with directions from all Lenders. In the absence of such directions, Agent shall have, and Lenders acknowledge that Agent shall have, the exclusive power and authority (but under no circumstances shall be obligated), in Agent’s sole and absolute discretion, to take any action (including, without limitation, those acts described on Rider 10.1(b) attached hereto and made a part hereof) or refrain from taking any action, except that with respect to Major Decisions the direction or consent of all Lenders is required and Agent shall not take action constituting a Major Decision absent such direction or consent. Any action or inaction pursuant to any such direction, discretion or consent shall be binding on all Lenders. Agent shall have no liability to any Person as a result of (i) Agent acting or refraining from acting in accordance with the directions of all Lenders, (ii) Agent acting or refraining from acting in accordance with the directions of the Required Lenders with respect to those matters described in Section 10.3(a) or (c), (iii) Agent acting or refraining from acting (with respect to a Major Decision or, except for those matters described in Section 10.3(a) or (c), any other matter) in the absence of instructions to act from all Lenders, whether or not Agent has discretionary power to take such action, (iv) Agent acting or refraining from acting (with respect to those matters described in Section 10.3(a) or (c)) in the absence of instructions to act from the Required Lenders, whether or not Agent has discretionary power to take such action, or (v) Agent taking discretionary action it is authorized
93
to take under this Agreement, except to the extent that such is caused by its own gross negligence or willful misconduct.
(c) Agent shall have the exclusive power, right and obligation to communicate and otherwise deal with the Borrower Parties in connection with or related to the Loan and no Lender shall communicate, or deal directly, with any Borrower Party in connection with or related to the Loan. No Lender shall respond to any communication received by any such Lender from any Borrower Party in connection with or related to the Loan and any such Lender shall immediately forward and direct any such communication to Agent and notify Agent of the attempted communication by such Borrower Party. No Borrower Party shall communicate, or deal directly, with any Lender in connection with or related to the Loan, and all such communication shall be made and directed to Agent.
10.2 Reliance by Agent. Agent shall be entitled to rely upon any certification, notice or other communication (including any thereof by telephone or electronic mail) believed by it to be genuine and correct and to have been signed or sent by or on behalf of the proper Person or Persons, and upon advice and statements of legal counsel, independent accountants and other experts selected by Agent. Agent may deem and treat each Lender as the holder of its Note and interest in the Loan for all purposes hereof and shall not be required to deal with any Person who has acquired a Participation in the Loan from a Lender. As to any matters not expressly provided for by this Agreement or any other Loan Document, Agent shall in all cases be fully protected in acting, or in refraining from acting, in accordance with instructions signed by all Lenders, and such instructions of all Lenders and any action taken or failure to act pursuant thereto shall be binding on all Lenders and any other holder of all or any portion of the Loan or Participation therein.
10.3 Defaults; Remedies.
(a) Agent shall not be deemed to have knowledge of the occurrence of a Default or of an Event of Default unless Agent has received written notice from a Lender or Borrower strictly in accordance with this Agreement specifying such Default or Event of Default and stating that such notice is a “Notice of Default.” In the event that Agent receives such a written notice of the occurrence of a material Default or Event of Default, Agent shall give prompt notice thereof to Lenders. Agent shall promptly send to each Lender a copy of any notice of a Default or Event of Default that Agent sends to Borrower or Guarantor. Agent, following consultation with Lenders, shall (subject to Section 10.7) take such action with respect to such Default or Event of Default which is continuing, including with respect to the exercise of remedies or the realization on, or operation or disposition of, any or all of the Collateral or any other collateral for the Loan, as shall be agreed upon by the Required Lenders; provided, however, that, unless and until Agent shall have received such directions from the Required Lenders, if at all, Agent may take such action, or refrain from taking such action, with respect to such Default or Event of Default as it shall deem, in its sole discretion, to be in the best interest of Lenders and any action taken or failure to act in the absence of an agreement by the Required Lenders shall be binding on all Lenders and any other holder of all or any portion of the Loan or Participation therein. In no event shall Agent be required to take any such action which it determines would expose Agent to personal liability or would be contrary to or in violation of the Loan Documents or to Applicable Laws. Each Lender acknowledges and agrees that no
94
individual Lender has the right, power or authority to take any action under any of the Loan Documents or against Borrower or other Borrower Party or any Collateral, and shall not take or attempt to take any such action other than through Agent, and each Lender agrees not to attempt to separately enforce or exercise any of the provisions of any of the Loan Documents and any such attempt shall be null and void. Any Lender taking action in violation of the immediately preceding sentence agrees to indemnify and hold each other Lender and Agent harmless from and against claims, judgments, costs, liabilities, damages, losses and expenses (including court costs and reasonable attorneys’ fees) suffered, paid or incurred as a result of such Lender’s action.
(b) If Agent shall take possession of any of Collateral after the occurrence of any Event of Default under the Loan Documents (upon institution of foreclosure proceedings or otherwise), then (i) Agent on behalf of the Lenders shall, in the exercise of the standard of care described in Section 10.1(a), have all necessary power and authority to make and implement any and all decisions and actions regarding the ownership, management, maintenance and day-to-day operations of the Collateral, and (ii) Agent shall collect all rents and other operating revenues generated by such Collateral (“REO Revenue”), and pay from such REO Revenue all expenses incurred by it in connection with the ownership, operation, management (including the fees of an independent management firm) and maintenance of such Collateral (collectively, “REO Expenses”). Agent shall have the right to hire an independent third party management firm or provider of the Provider Operations selected by Agent, provided such firm is hired on an arms-length basis for a commercially reasonable fee and for a term that can be terminated at no cost upon no more than thirty (30) days prior notice.
(c) If there shall be a foreclosure sale of all or a portion of the Collateral, then, unless otherwise directed by the Required Lenders, Agent shall credit bid at the foreclosure sale on behalf of Lenders. The initial credit bid shall be determined by Agent. If the initial credit bid is less than the entire Indebtedness, Agent shall have the right, in its sole discretion, to raise the amount of said credit bid in response to any cash bid or bids made by others at said sale. Upon completion of a foreclosure sale and the conveyance of the Collateral to the highest bidder, Agent shall render an accounting for monies received and monies expended between the date of taking possession of such Collateral and the date of conveyance to the highest bidder, including, without limitation, expenses of foreclosure. If the highest bidder shall be someone other than Agent, then, upon receipt from the highest bidder of the amount of the bid, Agent will disburse all funds received pursuant to the terms and conditions of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. If the highest bidder shall be Agent, or if title shall be transferred to Agent by other means (i.e., deed-in-lieu of foreclosure), then Agent will cause the Collateral to be legally conveyed to a single-asset, single-purpose entity formed and owned by Lenders (the “REO Entity”), the interests in which shall be owned by Lenders or their nominees in proportion to the outstanding principal balance of each Lender’s Note to the aggregate outstanding principal balance of all Notes. Until such time as the written agreement described in subsection (d) below is executed, Agent shall continue to have the sole power and authority with respect to the collateral as described in Section 10.3(b).
(d) If an REO Entity acquires the Collateral either by foreclosure or deed in lieu of foreclosure or otherwise, then Lenders agree to negotiate in good faith an operating or similar agreement (an “REO Agreement”) for the REO Entity relating to the ownership,
95
operation, maintenance, management, leasing and marketing of the Collateral. The terms of the REO Agreement shall include the following: (i) the Collateral will not be held as a long-term investment and will be marketed to sell such Collateral as Agent directs; (B) Agent shall have power and authority described in Section 10.3(b); and (C) each Lender shall waive any right to partition the Collateral. Agent shall be entitled to be paid an annual asset management fee (payable in equal monthly installments) in an amount equal to fifty basis points (0.50%) of the total committed Loan amount under the Loan Documents for its services in managing the REO Entity and Collateral (whether or not an independent management firm manages or leases the Collateral), plus all of Agent’s costs, charges and expenses incurred in connection with performing its services in managing the REO Entity and Collateral. Until such time as Lenders finalize and execute an REO Agreement, Agent shall continue to have the sole power and authority with respect to the collateral as described in Section 10.3(b).
(e) At all times Agent is in possession of the Collateral or the REO Entity owns the Collateral: (i) all REO Revenue in excess of REO Expenses and necessary reserves for any period of determination shall be distributed to Lenders in accordance with the terms and provisions of this Agreement; and (ii) the excess, if any, of REO Expenses over REO Revenue for any period of determination shall be paid pursuant to Section 10.5.
10.4 Rights of Agent as Lender. With respect to its Note and interest in the Loan, Agent in its capacity as a Lender hereunder shall have the same rights and powers hereunder as any other Lender and may exercise the same as though it were not acting as Agent, and the terms “Lender” and “Lenders” shall include Agent solely in its capacity as a Lender and not in its capacity as Agent. Agent and its affiliates may (without having to account therefor to any Lender) accept deposits from, lend money to (on a secured or unsecured basis), and generally engage in any kind of banking, trust or other business with, Borrower or Guarantor (and any affiliates of them) as if it were not acting as Agent. Under no circumstances shall Agent in its capacity as a Lender hereunder have any liability, responsibility or obligation arising out of any act or omission in its capacity as Agent.
10.5 Sharing of Costs by Lenders; Indemnification of Agent. Each Lender shall pay its Pro Rata Share of any liabilities, costs or expenses suffered or incurred (to the extent not paid or reimbursed by Borrower after demand for payment is made by Agent) by or on behalf of Lenders in connection with any amounts due and owing under the Loan Documents, including, without limitation, costs and expenses of enforcement of the Loan Documents and any advances to pay taxes, insurance premiums or common charges or otherwise to preserve the lien of the Mortgage or to preserve or protect the Collateral. In the event a Lender fails to pay its share of expenses as aforesaid, and all or a portion of such unpaid amount is paid by Agent and/or one or more of the other Lenders, then the defaulting Lender shall immediately and without demand reimburse Agent and/or the other Lender(s) for the portion of such unpaid amount paid by it or them, as the case may be, together with interest thereon at the Default Rate from the date of payment by Agent and/or the other Lender(s). In addition, each Lender agrees to reimburse and indemnify Agent (to the extent it is not paid by or on behalf of Borrower, after demand for payment is made by Agent, under Section 5.3.6 or under the applicable provisions of any other Loan Document, but without limiting the obligation of Borrower under said Section 5.3.6 or such provisions), for such Lender’s Pro Rata Share, of any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements of any
96
kind and nature whatsoever which may be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against Agent in any way relating to or arising out of this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any other documents contemplated by or referred to herein or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby or the enforcement of any of the terms hereof or thereof or of any such other documents or instruments; provided, however, that no Lender shall be liable for (i) any of the foregoing to the extent they arise from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the party to be indemnified or (ii) any loss of principal or interest with respect to Agent’s Note or interest in the Loan.
10.6 Non-Reliance on Agent and Other Lenders. Each Lender acknowledges that it has, independently and without reliance on Agent or any other Lender, and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own analysis of the collateral for the Loan and of the credit of Borrower and Guarantor, and its own decision to enter into this Agreement, and that it will, independently and without reliance upon Agent or any other Lender, and based on such documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own analysis and decisions in taking or not taking action under this Agreement or any other Loan Document. Agent shall not be required to keep itself informed as to the performance or observance by Borrower of this Agreement or any other Loan Document or any other document referred to or provided for herein or therein or to inspect the properties (including, without limitation, the Premises) or books of Borrower. Except for notices, reports and other documents and information expressly required to be furnished to Lenders by Agent hereunder, Agent shall not have any duty or responsibility to provide any Lender with any credit or other information concerning the affairs, financial condition or business of Borrower or Guarantor (or any affiliate of them) which may come into the possession of Agent or any of its affiliates; provided, however, that promptly after a Lender’s request therefor, Agent shall deliver to such Lender a copy of any financial statement or report delivered to Agent pursuant to Section 5.1.1, and any such Lender acknowledges and agrees that Agent makes no representations or warranties (implied, express or otherwise) as to the accuracy or completeness of any such financial statements or reports and the data and calculations contained therein.
10.7 Failure of Agent to Act. Except for action expressly required of Agent hereunder, Agent shall in all cases be fully justified in failing or refusing to act hereunder:
(a) unless it shall have received further assurances (which may include cash collateral) of the indemnification obligations of Lenders under Section 10.5 in respect of any and all liability and expense which may be incurred by it by reason of taking or continuing to take any such action (and if any indemnity furnished to Agent for any purpose shall, in the opinion of Agent, be insufficient or become impaired, Agent may call for an additional indemnity and cease, or not commence, the action indemnified against until such additional indemnity is furnished), or
97
(b) in the absence of instructions, directions or consent of the Required Lenders, if Agent, in the exercise of its discretion, requests instructions, directions or consent of the Required Lenders for any matter where such direction or consent is not expressly required hereunder.
10.8 Resignation or Removal of Agent. Agent may resign on at least thirty (30) days’ written notice to Lenders and Borrower or upon the occurrence of an Event of Default. Agent may be removed at any time by the Required Lenders upon a final determination of Agent’s gross negligence or intentional misconduct or if the Required Lenders (without considering the vote of Agent in its capacity as Lender) elect to remove Agent following Agent’s election described in Section 10.7(a) (provided that Agent shall have the option, in a written notice to Lenders, to withdraw such election described in Section 10.7(a) within five (5) Business Days of its receipt of written notice of the Required Lenders’ election to remove Agent as aforesaid and in such instance, such election of the Required Lenders shall be null and void and of no force or effect), provided that Borrower and the other Lenders shall be promptly notified thereof. Upon such resignation or removal of Agent, the Required Lenders shall have the right to appoint a successor Agent. If no successor Agent shall have been so appointed by the Required Lenders, and shall have accepted such appointment, within twenty (20) days after the resignation or the Required Lenders’ removal of the retiring Agent, then the retiring or removed Agent may, on behalf of Lenders, appoint a successor Agent, which shall be one of Lenders, within ten (10) days. The Required Lenders or the resigning or removed Agent, as the case may be, shall upon the appointment of a successor Agent promptly so notify Borrower and the other Lenders. Upon the acceptance of any appointment as Agent hereunder by a successor Agent, such successor Agent shall thereupon succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring or removed Agent, and the retiring or removed Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder. After any retiring Agent’s resignation or removal hereunder as Agent, the provisions of this Article 10 shall continue in effect for its benefit in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was acting as Agent.
10.9 Amendments Concerning Agency Function. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, Agent shall not be bound by any waiver, amendment, supplement or modification of this Agreement or any other Loan Document which affects its duties, rights, obligations and/or functions hereunder or thereunder unless it shall have given its prior written consent thereto.
10.10 Liability of Agent. Agent (in its capacity as Agent and not as a Lender) shall not have any liabilities, obligations or responsibilities to Borrower on account of the failure of any Lender to perform its obligations hereunder or to any Lender on account of the failure of Borrower or any other Lender to perform its obligations hereunder or under any other Loan Document.
10.11 Transfer of Agency Function. Without the consent of Borrower or any Lender, Agent may at any time or from time to time transfer its functions as Agent hereunder to any of its offices wherever located in the United States, provided that Agent shall promptly notify Borrower and Lenders thereof.
10.12 Non-Receipt of Funds by Agent; Adjustments.
98
(a) Unless Agent shall have received notice from a Lender or Borrower (either one as appropriate being the “Payor”) prior to the date on which such Lender is to make payment hereunder to Agent of Loan proceeds or Borrower is to make payment to Agent, as the case may be (either such payment being a “Required Payment”), which notice shall be effective upon receipt, that the Payor will not make the Required Payment in full to Agent, Agent may assume that the Required Payment has been made in full to Agent on such date, and Agent in its sole discretion may, but shall not be obligated to, in reliance upon such assumption, make the amount thereof available to the intended recipient on such date. If and to the extent the Payor shall not have in fact so made the Required Payment in full to Agent, the recipient of such payment shall repay to Agent forthwith on demand such amount made available to it together with interest thereon, for each day from the date such amount was so made available by Agent until the date Agent recovers such amount, at the Default Rate, provided that nothing contained in this Agreement or the other Loan Documents shall excuse or give any Lender the right to delay its obligations to fund its Pro Rata Share of an Advance.
(b) If, after Agent has paid each Lender’s share of any payment received or applied by Agent in respect of the Loan, that payment is rescinded or must otherwise be returned or paid over by Agent, whether pursuant to any Insolvency Laws, the sharing of payments clause of any loan agreement or otherwise, such Lender shall, at Agent’s request, promptly return its share of such payment or application to Agent, together with such Lender’s proportionate share of any interest or other amount required to be paid by Agent with respect to such payment or application. In addition, if a court of competent jurisdiction shall adjudge that any amount received and distributed by Agent is to be repaid, each Person to whom any such distribution shall have been made shall either repay to Agent its share of the amount so adjudged to be repaid or shall pay over the same in such manner and to such Persons as shall be determined by such court.
10.13 Withholding Taxes. Each Lender represents to each of Borrower and Agent that such Lender is entitled to receive any payments to be made to it hereunder without the withholding or backup withholding of any tax and will furnish to Borrower and Agent such forms, certifications, statements and other documents and any required renewals thereof as either of them may reasonably request from time to time to evidence such Lender’s exemption from the withholding of any tax imposed by any jurisdiction or to enable Borrower and Agent to comply with any Applicable Laws relating thereto. Without limiting the effect of the foregoing, such Lender will furnish to Borrower and Agent promptly after their request therefor Form W-8ECI, Form W-8BEN or Form W-9 of the U.S. Internal Revenue Service, or such other forms, certifications, statements or documents and any required renewals thereof, duly executed and completed by such Lender, as evidence of such Lender’s complete exemption from the withholding and backup withholding of United States tax with respect thereto. Agent shall not be obligated to make any payments hereunder to such Lender in respect of the Loan until such Lender shall have furnished to Agent the requested form, certification, statement or document. Each Lender shall timely inform Agent and Borrower of any change to the information it previously provided on such certification, statement or document to the extent any such change affects such Lender’s exemption from the withholding and backup withholding of any tax.
10.14 Sharing of Payments among Lenders. If a Lender shall obtain payment of any principal of its Note or of interest thereon through the exercise of any right of setoff,
99
banker’s lien or counterclaim, or by any other means (including direct payment), and such payment results in such Lender receiving a greater payment than it would have been entitled to had such payment been paid directly to Agent for disbursement to Lenders, then such Lender shall promptly purchase for cash from the other Lenders Participations in the Loan in such amounts, and make such other adjustments from time to time as shall be equitable, to the end that all Lenders shall share ratably the benefit of such payment. To such end Lenders shall make appropriate adjustments among themselves (by the resale of Participations sold or otherwise) if such payment is rescinded or must otherwise be restored.
10.15 Possession of Documents. Each Lender shall maintain possession of its own Note. Agent shall hold all other Loan Documents and related documents in its possession and maintain separate records and accounts with respect to the Loan, reflecting the interests of Lenders in the Loan, and shall permit Lenders and their representatives access at all reasonable times to inspect such Loan Documents, related documents, records and accounts.
10.16 Effect of a Lender’s Failure to Make an Advance. In the event any Lender fails for any reason to fund the portion it is required to fund of any Advance (a “Delinquency Amount”) by 3:00 p.m. (Dallas time) on the next Business Day after the date established by Agent as the date such advance is to be made, such Lender shall be a “Delinquent Lender” for all purposes hereunder until and unless such delinquency is cured in accordance with the terms of and by the time permitted under Section 10.17, and the following provisions shall apply:
(a) Agent shall notify (such notice being referred to as the “Delinquency Notice”) each Lender and Borrower of any Lender’s failure to fund. Each Non-Delinquent Lender shall have the right, but in no event or under any circumstance the obligation, to fund all or any portion of the Delinquency Amount and the Delinquent Lender agrees to repay upon demand to each of the Lenders who have advanced a portion of the Delinquency Amount the amount advanced on behalf of the Delinquent Lender, together with interest thereon at the Default Rate from the date such amount was advanced until repaid by the Delinquent Lender. If more than one Lender elects to advance a portion of the Delinquency Amount such Lenders’ advances shall be made based on the relative ratable shares of the Loan of each advancing Lender or as otherwise agreed to by such Lenders. In cases where a Delinquent Lender fails to fund the portion required to be funded by it of an Advance and none of the other Lenders advance the Delinquent Lender’s unfunded share of the applicable Advance pursuant to this subsection (a), Agent shall so notify Borrower and, within thirty (30) days of Borrower’s receipt of such notice, Borrower shall either: (i) cause a Replacement Lender (who shall be an Eligible Lender) to assume the Delinquent Lender’s obligations with respect to the entire undisbursed portion of the Delinquent Lender’s Individual Loan Commitment in accordance with Section 10.20, or (ii) commit in writing to Agent and Lenders, prior to any subsequent Advance, that Borrower shall fund the entire undisbursed portion of the Delinquent Lender’s Individual Loan Commitment, and submit satisfactory evidence to Agent, in its sole and absolute discretion, that Borrower is and shall be able to meet such commitment. So long as a Replacement Lender has not assumed the Delinquent Lender’s obligations with respect to the entire undisbursed portion of the Delinquent Lender’s Individual Loan Commitment in accordance with Section 10.20, the obligation of the Non-Delinquent Lenders to fund their respective portions of such Advance and each subsequent Advance shall be conditioned on Borrower’s written commitment described in
100
(i) above and Borrower depositing with Agent, no later than five (5) Business Days prior to each Advance, the portion of the costs and expenses that are the subject of such Advance in an amount equal to the Delinquent Lender’s portion of such Advance, which shall be disbursed by Agent in accordance with the terms hereof.
(b) The failure of any Lender to pay any Delinquency Amount shall not relieve any other Lender of its obligation, if any, hereunder to make its ratable portion of the Advance on the date of such Advance, but no Lender shall be responsible for the failure of any other Lender to make its ratable portion of the Advance to be made by such other Lender on the date of any Advance. If, pursuant to Section 2.1, Lenders are not obligated to make an Advance, Agent may nonetheless make a determination in its sole discretion that Lenders shall make such Advances and all Lenders shall be bound by such determination.
(c) Subject to a Delinquent Lender’s right to cure as provided in Section 10.17, but notwithstanding anything else to the contrary contained in this Agreement, the Delinquent Lender’s interest in, and any and all amounts due to a Delinquent Lender under, the Loan Documents (including, without limitation, all principal, interest, fees and expenses) shall be subordinate in lien priority and to the repayment of all amounts (including, without limitation, interest) then or thereafter due or to become due to the Non-Delinquent Lenders under the Loan Documents (including future advances). Subject to a Delinquent Lender’s right to cure as provided in Section 10.17, Agent shall make no payment to a Delinquent Lender until the Non-Delinquent Lenders have been paid in full their respective Pro Rata Share of all Indebtedness, it being understood that all sums which would otherwise be due a Delinquent Lender under the Loan Documents (interest, principal, fees and all other amounts) shall be distributed to the Non-Delinquent Lenders (each Non-Delinquent Lender receiving its ratable share thereof) as follows: first, all sums which constitute a payment of principal under the Loan shall be treated as a repayment of principal under the Notes of the Non-Delinquent Lenders; and, next, all sums which constitute a payment of interest, fees, Charges or any other item under the Loan (other than a payment of principal) shall be treated as additional interest under the Loan and shall not be deemed to be a repayment of principal, provided that Agent shall deduct from amounts due (or, in the case of a Delinquent Lender, amounts that would otherwise be payable to such Delinquent Lender) a Lender in default under its obligations under Section 10.5, the amount owing by such Lender pursuant to said Section 10.5 and pay the amount so deducted to itself, the other Lenders, or such other party as is entitled to such amount, as applicable. No payments received by any Non-Delinquent Lender as set forth above shall release or in any way limit a Delinquent Lender’s obligations under this Agreement, including, without limitation, Delinquent Lender’s obligations to indemnify Agent and each of the Non-Delinquent Lenders pursuant to Section 10.18. Regardless of whether a Delinquent Lender cures its failure in accordance with Section 10.17, under no circumstances (i) shall Agent or any Non-Delinquent Lender have any obligation to pay, refund or return to a Delinquent Lender (or a former Delinquent Lender) any payments that Agent or any Non-Delinquent Lender received pursuant to this Section 10.17(c), or (ii) shall any Delinquent Lender (or a former Delinquent Lender) be entitled to receive its Pro Rata Share of any fees payable by Borrower in connection with the Loan, including, without limitation, the Exit Fee, the Minimum Interest Lookback Amount, the Amortization Conversion Fee and any extension fee, and notwithstanding anything in this Agreement of the other Loan Documents to the contrary, the portion of any such fees that would otherwise be due a
101
Delinquent Lender under the Loan Documents shall be paid to the Non-Delinquent Lenders (each Non-Delinquent Lender receiving its ratable share thereof).
(d) No Delinquent Lender shall have the right to participate in any discussions among and/or decisions by Lenders hereunder (including, without limitation, any Major Decision) and/or under the other Loan Documents. Further, subject to Section 10.17, any Delinquent Lender shall be bound by any amendment to, or waiver of, any provision of, or any action taken or omitted to be taken by Agent and/or the Non-Delinquent Lenders under, any Loan Document which is made subsequent to the Delinquent Lender’s becoming a Delinquent Lender. Nothing contained in this Agreement or the other Loan Documents is intended to waive or limit any right, claim or cause of action, in law or in equity, of any Non-Delinquent Lender or Borrower against any Delinquent Lender, it being understood that any Non-Delinquent Lender or Borrower may proceed directly against any such Delinquent Lender. Each Delinquent Lender, on behalf of itself and its successors and assigns, releases and discharges Agent from, and irrevocably waives any and all rights it may have under any Applicable Law with respect to, any and all liability, claims, damages, or causes of action, arising out of, connected with or incidental to the Loan, the Loan Documents, the Collateral, any action taken or not taken, and any other matter relating thereto.
(e) If, pursuant to the operation of Section 10.12, an Advance is made without Agent’s receipt of a Delinquent Lender’s portion thereof, in addition to Borrower’s obligations under Section 10.12, Borrower shall, upon demand of Agent, refund the entire such Advance to Agent. Borrower’s failure to do so within ten (10) days of such demand shall, notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein or in the Mortgage, constitute an Event of Default. Upon its receipt of such funds from Borrower, Agent shall promptly remit to each Non-Delinquent Lender its appropriate share thereof.
10.17 Cure by Delinquent Lender. Provided that no Replacement Lender has assumed the Delinquent Lender’s obligations pursuant to Section 10.20, Delinquent Lender may cure a delinquency arising out of its failure to fund its required portion of any Advance if it remits to Agent (1) its required portion of such Advance (together with interest thereon at the Default Rate from the date such Advance was to have been made if such Advance was made by Agent and not refunded by Borrower pursuant to either Section 10.12 or Section 10.16(e)), and (2) an administrative fee, for Agent’s own account, in the amount of $10,000 plus all of Agent’s reasonable costs and expenses (including, without limitation, attorneys’ fees) incurred in connection with such delinquency and cure, in which event Agent shall so notify Borrower and the Non-Delinquent Lenders (i) of its receipt of such funds and (ii)(A) if the Advance that was the subject of the delinquency shall not have been made (or shall have been refunded by Borrower pursuant to Section 10.16(e)), of the rescheduled date of the Advance (which shall be no sooner then three (3) Business Days after such notice) or (B) if Agent shall have funded the entire Advance that was the subject of the delinquency (including the Delinquent Lender’s portion) and Borrower shall not have refunded such Advance pursuant to Section 10.16(e), of its intention to reimburse itself from funds received from the Delinquent Lender (which reimbursement is hereby authorized) for funding the Delinquent Lender’s required portion of the Advance. In the event any Delinquent Lender cures a delinquency, such Delinquent Lender nonetheless shall be bound by any amendment to or waiver of any provision of, or any action taken or omitted to be taken by Agent and/or the Non-Delinquent Lenders under, any Loan
102
Document which is made subsequent to that Lender’s becoming a Delinquent Lender and prior to its curing the delinquency as provided in this Section, provided that such amendment or waiver of action was taken in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement. A Delinquent Lender shall have absolutely no right to cure any delinquency if a Replacement Lender has assumed the Delinquent Lender’s obligations pursuant to Section 10.20.
10.18 Delinquent Lender Not Excused. Nothing contained in Sections 10.16 or 10.17 shall release or in any way limit a Delinquent Lender’s obligations as a Lender hereunder and/or under any other of the Loan Documents. Further, a Delinquent Lender shall fully, unconditionally and irrevocably indemnify and hold harmless Agent and each of the Non-Delinquent Lenders from any claim, loss, or costs incurred by Agent and/or the Non-Delinquent Lenders as a result of a Delinquent Lender’s failure to comply with the requirements of this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, including, without limitation, any and all additional losses, damages, costs and expenses (including, without limitation, attorneys’ fees) incurred by Agent and any Lender as a result of and/or in connection with (i) a Non-Delinquent Lender’s advance of all or any portion of the Delinquency Amount, (ii) any enforcement action brought by Agent or any Non-Delinquent Lender against a Delinquent Lender, and (iii) any action brought against Agent and/or Lenders. The indemnification provided above shall survive any termination of this Agreement.
10.19 Notices Regarding Delinquent Lender. Notices by Agent or Lenders pursuant to Sections 10.16 or 10.17 may be by telephone (to be promptly confirmed in writing).
10.20 Replacement Lender. If any Lender becomes a Delinquent Lender and none of the other Lenders elects to be an Electing Lender pursuant to Section 10.16, Borrower shall have the right, provided there exists no Default or Event of Default, to cause an Eligible Lender to assume the Delinquent Lender’s obligations with respect to the entire undisbursed portion of the Delinquent Lender’s Individual Loan Commitment on the then-existing terms and conditions of the Loan Documents (such replacement institution, a “Replacement Lender”). Such assumption shall be pursuant to a written instrument satisfactory to Agent. Upon such assumption and the payment by the Replacement Lender to Agent of a fee, for Agent’s own account, in the amount of $5,000 plus all of Agent’s reasonable costs and expenses (including, without limitation, attorneys’ fees) incurred in connection with such assumption, the Replacement Lender shall become a “Lender” for all purposes hereunder, with an Individual Loan Commitment in an amount equal to the entire undisbursed portion of the Delinquent Lender’s Individual Loan Commitment, and the Delinquent Lender’s Individual Loan Commitment shall automatically be reduced by the entire undisbursed portion of the Delinquent Lender’s Individual Loan Commitment (and until such time Agent shall have no obligation to communicate with or accept or take into account any communication from any Replacement Lender and Agent shall continue to deal solely and directly with any such the Delinquent Lender in connection with the Loan, this Agreement and the other Loan Documents). In connection with the foregoing, Borrower shall execute and deliver to the Replacement Lender and the Delinquent Lender, at the cost and expense of the Delinquent Lender, replacement notes substantially in the form of Exhibit E and stating: “This Note is a replacement note as contemplated by Section 10.20 of the Loan Agreement; it replaces and is in lieu of that certain note made by Maker dated [date of Note] to the order of [Delinquent Lender] in the principal sum of [Delinquent Lender’s original Individual Loan Commitment].” Such replacement notes shall be in amounts equal to, in
103
the case of the Replacement Lender’s note, the entire undisbursed portion of the Delinquent Lender’s Individual Loan Commitment and, in the case of the Delinquent Lender’s note, its Individual Loan Commitment, as reduced as aforesaid. Such replacement notes shall constitute “Notes” and the obligations evidenced thereby shall be secured by the Mortgage. In connection with Borrower’s execution of replacement notes as aforesaid, Borrower shall deliver to Agent such evidence of the due authorization, execution and delivery of the replacement notes and any related documents as Agent may reasonably request. If the Replacement Lender is not incorporated under the Laws of the United States or a state thereof, it shall, prior to the first date on which interest or fees are payable hereunder for its account, deliver to Borrower and Agent certification as to exemption from deduction or withholding of any United States federal income taxes in accordance with Section 10.13. The execution and delivery of replacement notes as required above shall be a condition precedent to any further advances of Loan proceeds. Upon receipt of its replacement note, the Delinquent Lender will return to Borrower its note(s) that was replaced, provided that the delivery of a replacement note to the Delinquent Lender pursuant to this Section 10.20 shall operate to void and replace the note(s) previously held by the Delinquent Lender regardless of whether or not the Delinquent Lender returns same as required hereby. A Replacement Lender’s assumption of the Delinquent Lender’s obligations pursuant to this Section 10.20 shall not be deemed a cure of the Delinquent Lender’s failure to perform its obligations under this Agreement and in such event the Delinquent Lender shall remain and be deemed to be for all purposes under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents a Delinquent Lender.
At the cost and expense of the Delinquent Lender, Borrower, Agent and Lenders shall execute such modifications to the Loan Documents as shall, in the reasonable judgment of Agent, be necessary or desirable in connection with the substitution of Lenders in accordance with the foregoing provisions of this Section.
Lenders shall reasonably cooperate with Borrower’s attempts to obtain a Replacement Lender, but they shall not be obligated to modify the Loan Documents in connection therewith, other than modifications pursuant to the immediately preceding paragraph. As part of the first advance of Loan proceeds following the admission of the Replacement Lender, the Replacement Lender shall advance to Borrower, subject to the satisfaction of all conditions of this Agreement, an amount equal to the amounts paid by Borrower pursuant to Section 2.1(ii).
10.21 Relationship; Other Matters. No term in this Agreement or in the other Loan Documents and no course of dealing between Agent and Lenders shall be deemed to create any relationship of partnership or joint venture or any fiduciary duty by Agent to Lenders. Lenders agree to be fully bound by all of the terms and provisions of Sections 9.34 and 9.35.
