Section 2.2 Interest; Loan Payments; Late Payment Charge.
Interest Generally. Interest on the outstanding principal balance of the Loan shall accrue from the Closing Date to but excluding the Maturity Date at the Interest Rate.

Interest on the outstanding principal balance of the Loan shall be calculated on the basis of a three hundred sixty (360) day year comprised of twelve (12) months of thirty (30) days each, except that interest due and payable for a period of less than a full month shall be calculated by multiplying the actual number of days elapsed in the period for which the calculation is being made by a daily rate based on a three hundred sixty (360) day year.
2.2.2 Payments Generally. Borrower shall pay to Lender (a) on the Closing Date, an amount equal to interest only on the outstanding principal balance of the Loan from the Closing Date up to but not including the first Payment Date following the Closing Date, and (b) on February 1, 2008 and each Payment Date thereafter up to but not including the Maturity Date, an amount equal to the Monthly Debt Service Payment Amount, which shall be applied to interest on the outstanding principal amount of the Loan for the prior calendar month at the Interest Rate.

To the extent permitted by applicable law, interest at the Default Rate shall be added to the Debt, shall itself accrue interest at the same rate as the Loan and shall be secured by the Mortgage. This paragraph shall not be construed as an agreement or privilege to extend the date of the payment of the Debt, nor as a waiver of any other right or remedy accruing to Lender by reason of the occurrence of any Event of Default and Lender retains its rights under the Note and this Agreement to accelerate and to continue to demand payment of the Debt upon the happening and continuance of any Event of Default.
33
2.2.6 Late Payment Charge.

This Agreement and the Note are subject to the express condition that at no time shall Borrower be obligated or required to pay interest on the principal balance of the Loan at a rate which could subject Lender to either civil or criminal liability as a result of being in excess of the Maximum Legal Rate. If, by the terms of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, Borrower is at any time required or obligated to pay interest on the principal balance due hereunder at a rate in excess of the Maximum Legal Rate, the Interest Rate or the Default Rate, as the case may be, shall be deemed to be immediately reduced to the Maximum Legal Rate and all previous payments in excess of the Maximum Legal Rate shall be deemed to have been payments in reduction of principal and not on account of the interest due hereunder. All sums paid or agreed to be paid to Lender for the use, forbearance, or detention of the sums due under the Loan, shall, to the extent permitted by applicable law, be amortized, prorated, allocated, and spread throughout the full stated term of the Loan until payment in full so that the rate or amount of interest on account of the Loan does not exceed the Maximum Legal Rate of interest from time to time in effect and applicable to the Loan for so long as the Loan is outstanding.
Section 2.3 Prepayments.
2.3.1 Voluntary Prepayments.
(a) Except as otherwise provided herein, Borrower shall not have the right to prepay the Loan in whole or in part on or prior to the Permitted Prepayment Date. After the Permitted Prepayment Date, Borrower may, provided it has given Lender prior written notice in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, prepay the unpaid principal balance of the Loan in whole, but (subject to Section 2.3.1(b) below) not in part, by paying, together with the amount to be prepaid, (i) interest accrued and unpaid on the outstanding principal balance of the Loan being prepaid to and including the date of prepayment, (ii) unless prepayment is tendered on a Payment Date, an amount equal to the interest that would have accrued on the amount being prepaid after the date of prepayment through and including the next Payment Date had the prepayment not been made (which amount shall constitute additional consideration for the prepayment), (iii) all other sums then due under this Agreement, the Note, the Mortgage and the other Loan Documents, and (iv) if prepayment occurs prior to the Payment Date which is one month prior to the Maturity Date, a prepayment consideration (the “Prepayment Consideration”) equal to the greater of (A) the applicable Prepayment Premium, or (B) the excess, if any, of (1) the sum of the present values of all then-scheduled payments of principal and interest under this Agreement including, but not limited to, principal and interest on the Maturity Date (with each such payment discounted to its present value at the date of prepayment at the rate which, when compounded monthly, is
34
equivalent to the Prepayment Rate), over (2) the outstanding principal amount of the Loan. Lender shall notify Borrower of the amount and the basis of determination of the required prepayment consideration.
(b) After the Permitted Prepayment Date, Borrower may, provided it has satisfied the Partial Prepayment Conditions, obtain a release of the Related Documents with respect to a Release Property, by prepaying, (i) an amount equal to the Release Principal Payment, (ii) interest accrued and unpaid on the Release Principal Payment to and including the date of prepayment, (iii) unless prepayment is tendered on a Payment Date, an amount equal to the interest that would have accrued on the Release Principal Payment after the date of prepayment up to but not including the next Payment Date had the prepayment not been made (which amount shall constitute additional consideration for the prepayment), (iv) all other sums then due under this Agreement, the Related Mortgage and the other Loan Documents, (v) the Prepayment Consideration (calculated on the amount of the Release Principal Payment), (vi) an administrative fee in the sum of $1,500, as assessed by the Servicer, and (vii) all third-party costs and expenses incurred by Lender or the Servicer (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys fees and disbursements) in connection with the release of a Property. Upon payment of the Release Principal Payment, the Monthly Debt Service Payment Amount under the Note shall be recalculated based on the unpaid principal balance effective as of the day following the next occurring Payment Date. Lender promptly shall notify Borrower in writing of the new Monthly Debt Service Payment Amount with respect to the Note. Payments made in connection with any release may be applied in reduction of a portion of the Loan (including subordinate financing or mezzanine financing, if any) in any order or priority as Lender may determine in its sole discretion. Following such a release, the applicable Borrower shall no longer be deemed a Borrower hereunder or under the Loan Documents.
(c) On the Payment Date that is one month prior to the Maturity Date, and on each day thereafter through the Maturity Date, Borrower may, at its option, prepay the Debt without payment of any Prepayment Consideration or other penalty or premium; provided, however, if such prepayment is not paid on a regularly scheduled Payment Date, the Debt shall include interest that would have accrued on such prepayment through and including the day immediately preceding the Maturity Date. Borrower’s right to prepay any portion of the principal balance of the Loan shall be subject to (i) Borrower’s submission of a notice to Lender setting forth the amount to be prepaid and the projected date of prepayment, which date shall be no less than thirty (30) days from the date of such notice, and (ii) Borrower’s actual payment to Lender of the amount to be prepaid as set forth in such notice on the projected date set forth in such notice or any day following such projected date occurring in the same calendar month as such projected date.
2.3.2 Mandatory Prepayments. (a) On the next occurring Payment Date following the date on which Borrower actually receives any Net Proceeds, if Lender is not obligated to make such Net Proceeds available to Borrower pursuant to this Agreement for the restoration of the applicable Individual Property, Borrower shall, at Lender’s option, prepay the outstanding balance of the Note in an amount equal to one hundred percent (100%) of such Net Proceeds. No Prepayment Consideration or other penalty or premium shall be due in connection with any prepayment made pursuant to this Section 2.3.2. Any partial prepayment under this Section shall be applied to the last payments of principal due under the Loan.
35
(b) On the date on which Borrower tenders a Casualty/Condemnation Prepayment pursuant to Section 6.4(e) below, such tender shall include (a) all accrued and unpaid interest and the principal indebtedness being prepaid, including interest on the outstanding principal amount of the applicable Note through the last day of the month within which such tender occurs, and (b) any other sums due hereunder relating to the applicable Note. Except as set forth in this Section 2.3.2(b), other than following an Event of Default, no Prepayment Consideration or other penalty or premium shall be due in connection with any Casualty/Condemnation Prepayment.
2.3.3 Prepayments after Default. Following an Event of Default, if Borrower or anyone on Borrower’s behalf makes a tender of payment of all or any portion of the Debt at any time prior to a foreclosure sale (including a sale under the power of sale under the Mortgage), or during any redemption period after foreclosure, (i) the tender of payment shall constitute an evasion of Borrower’s obligation to pay any Prepayment Consideration due under this Agreement and such payment shall, therefore, to the maximum extent permitted by law, include a premium equal to the Prepayment Consideration that would have been payable on the date of such tender had the Loan not been so accelerated, or (ii) if at the time of such tender a prepayment of the principal amount of the Loan would have been prohibited under this Agreement had the principal amount of the Loan not been so accelerated, the tender of payment shall constitute an evasion of such prepayment prohibition and shall, therefore, to the maximum extent permitted by law, include an amount equal to the greater of (i) 1% of the then principal amount of the Loan (or the relevant portion thereof being prepaid) and (ii) an amount equal to the excess of (A) the sum of the present values of a series of payments payable at the times and in the amounts equal to the payments of principal and interest (including, but not limited to the principal and interest payable on the Maturity Date) which would have been scheduled to be payable after the date of such tender under this Agreement had the Loan (or the relevant portion thereof) not been accelerated, with each such payment discounted to its present value at the date of such tender at the rate which when compounded monthly is equivalent to the Prepayment Rate, over (B) the then principal amount of the Loan.
Section 2.4 Intentionally Omitted.

The execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents by Borrower will not conflict with or result in a breach of any of the terms or provisions of, or constitute a default under, or result in the creation or imposition of any lien, charge or encumbrance (other than pursuant to the Loan Documents) upon any of the property or assets of Borrower pursuant to the terms of any indenture, mortgage, deed of trust, loan agreement, partnership agreement or other agreement or instrument to which Borrower is a party or by which any of Borrower’s property or assets is subject, nor will such action result in any violation of the provisions of any statute or any order, rule or regulation of any Governmental Authority having jurisdiction over Borrower or any of Borrower’s properties or assets, and any consent, approval, authorization, order, registration or qualification of or with any court or any such Governmental Authority required for the execution, delivery and performance by Borrower of this Agreement or any other Loan Documents has been obtained and is in full force and effect.
4.1.4 Litigation. To Borrower’s knowledge, there are no actions, suits or proceedings at law or in equity by or before any Governmental Authority or other agency now pending or threatened against or affecting Borrower or any Individual Property, which actions, suits or proceedings, if determined against Borrower or any Individual Property, might materially adversely affect the condition (financial or otherwise) or business of Borrower or the condition or ownership of any Individual Property.
4.1.5 Agreements. Except for the Franchise Agreements, Management Agreements, and such instruments and agreements set forth as Permitted Exceptions in the applicable Title Insurance Policy, no Borrower is a party to any agreement or instrument or subject to any restriction which might materially and adversely affect Borrower or any Individual Property, or Borrower’s business, properties or assets, operations or condition, financial or otherwise. To Borrower’s knowledge, Borrower is not in default in any material respect in the performance, observance or fulfillment of any of the obligations, covenants or conditions contained in any agreement or instrument to which it is a party or by which Borrower or any of the Properties are bound. Borrower has no material financial obligation under any indenture, mortgage, deed of trust, loan agreement or other agreement or instrument to which Borrower is a party or by which Borrower or the Properties are otherwise bound, other than (a) obligations incurred in the ordinary course of the operation of the Properties and (b) obligations under the Loan Documents.
4.1.6 Title. Borrower has good and indefeasible fee simple title to the real property comprising part of each Individual Property (except with respect to the Westbury Property, for which the Westbury Borrower has good, marketable and insurable leasehold title to the real property comprising such Individual Property) and good title to the balance of such Individual
49
Property, free and clear of all Liens whatsoever except the Permitted Encumbrances, such other Liens as are permitted pursuant to the Loan Documents and the Liens created by the Loan Documents. Each 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 (a) a valid, perfected lien on the applicable Individual Property, subject only to Permitted Encumbrances and the Liens created by the Loan Documents and (b) perfected security interests in and to, and perfected collateral assignment of, all personalty (including the Leases), all in accordance with the terms thereof, in each case subject only to any applicable Permitted Encumbrances, such other Liens as are permitted pursuant to the Loan Documents and the Liens created by the Loan Documents. There are no claims for payment for work, labor or materials affecting the Properties which are due and unpaid under the contracts pursuant to which such work or labor was performed or materials provided which are or may become a lien prior to, or of equal priority with, the Liens created by the Loan Documents. All state, county and municipal mortgage recording and intangibles taxes and documentary stamp taxes due in connection with the acquisition or financing of the Property have, as of the date hereof, been paid (or are in escrow with the title insurance company insuring the Lien of the Mortgage).
4.1.7 Solvency; No Bankruptcy Filing. Borrower (a) has not entered into the transaction or executed the Note, this Agreement or any other Loan Documents with the actual intent to hinder, delay or defraud any creditor and (b) received reasonably equivalent value in exchange for its obligations under such Loan Documents. To the best of Borrower’s knowledge, giving effect to the Loan, the fair saleable value of Borrower’s assets exceeds and will, immediately following the making of the Loan, exceed Borrower’s total liabilities, including, without limitation, subordinated, unliquidated, disputed and contingent liabilities. To the best of Borrower’s knowledge, the fair saleable value of Borrower’s assets is and will, immediately following the making of the Loan, be greater than Borrower’s probable liabilities, including the maximum amount of its contingent liabilities on its debts as such debts become absolute and matured. Borrower’s assets do not and, immediately following the making of the Loan will not, constitute unreasonably small capital to carry out its business as conducted or as proposed to be conducted. Borrower does not intend to, and does not believe that it will, incur debt and liabilities (including contingent liabilities and other commitments) beyond its ability to pay such debt and liabilities as they mature (taking into account the timing and amounts of cash to be received by Borrower and the amounts to be payable on or in respect of obligations of Borrower). Except as expressly disclosed to Lender in writing, no petition in bankruptcy has been filed against Borrower, or to the best of Borrower’s knowledge, any constituent Person in the last seven (7) years, and neither Borrower, nor to the best of Borrower’s knowledge, any constituent Person in the last seven (7) years has ever made an assignment for the benefit of creditors or taken advantage of any insolvency act for the benefit of debtors. Neither Borrower nor any of its constituent Persons are contemplating either the filing of a petition by it under any state or federal bankruptcy or insolvency laws or the liquidation of all or a major portion of Borrower’s assets or property, and Borrower has no knowledge of any Person contemplating the filing of any such petition against it or such constituent Persons.
4.1.8 Full and Accurate Disclosure. To Borrower’s knowledge, no statement of fact made by Borrower in this Agreement or in any of the other Loan Documents contains any untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state any material fact necessary to make statements contained herein or therein not misleading. There is no material fact presently known to
50
Borrower which has not been disclosed to Lender which adversely affects, nor as far as Borrower can foresee, might adversely affect, any Individual Property or the business, operations or condition (financial or otherwise) of Borrower.
4.1.9 No Plan Assets. No Borrower is an “employee benefit plan,” as defined in Section 3(3) of ERISA, subject to Title I of ERISA, and none of the assets of Borrower constitutes or will constitute “plan assets” of one or more such plans within the meaning of 29 C.F.R. Section 2510.3-101. In addition, (a) no Borrower is a “governmental plan” within the meaning of Section 3(32) of ERISA and (b) transactions by or with Borrower are not subject to state statutes regulating investment of, and fiduciary obligations with respect to, governmental plans similar to the provisions of Section 406 of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code currently in effect, which prohibit or otherwise restrict the transactions contemplated by this Loan Agreement.
4.1.10 Compliance. To Borrower’s knowledge, Borrower and the Properties and the use thereof comply in all material respects with all applicable Legal Requirements, including, without limitation, building and zoning ordinances and codes. To the best of Borrower’s knowledge after due inquiry, Borrower is not in default or violation of any order, writ, injunction, decree or demand of any Governmental Authority. There has not been committed by Borrower or to Borrower’s knowledge, any other Person in occupancy of or involved with the operation or use of the Properties any act or omission affording the federal government or any other Governmental Authority the right of forfeiture as against any Individual Property or any part thereof or any monies paid in performance of Borrower’s obligations under any of the Loan Documents.
4.1.11 Financial Information. All financial data, including, without limitation, the statements of cash flow and income and operating expense, that have been delivered to Lender in respect of the Loan (i) are, to the best of Borrower’s knowledge, true, complete and correct in all material respects, (ii) accurately represent the financial condition of the Properties as of the date of such reports, and (iii) to the extent prepared or audited by an independent certified public accounting firm, have been prepared in accordance with GAAP (or other accounting principles reasonably acceptable to Lender, consistently applied) throughout the periods covered, except as disclosed therein; provided, however, that if any financial data is delivered to Lender by any Person other than Borrower, Guarantor, Indemnitor or any of their Affiliates, or if such financial data has been prepared by or at the direction of any Person other than Borrower, Guarantor, Indemnitor or any of their Affiliates, then the foregoing representations with respect to such financial data shall be to the best of Borrower’s knowledge, after due inquiry. Borrower does not have any contingent liabilities, liabilities for taxes, unusual forward or long-term commitments or unrealized or anticipated losses from any unfavorable commitments that are known to Borrower and reasonably likely to have a materially adverse effect on any Individual Property or the operation thereof as a limited service hotel, except as referred to or reflected in said financial statements. Since the date of such financial statements, there has been no materially adverse change in the financial condition, operations or business of Borrower from that set forth in said financial statements.

4.1.14 Utilities and Public Access. Each Individual Property has rights of access to public ways and is served by water, sewer, sanitary sewer and storm drain facilities adequate to service such Individual Property for its respective intended uses. All public utilities necessary or convenient to the full use and enjoyment of each Individual Property are located either in the public right-of-way abutting such Individual Property (which are connected so as to serve such Individual Property without passing over other property) or in recorded easements serving such Individual Property and such easements are set forth in and insured by the Title Insurance Policy. All roads necessary for the use of each Individual Property for their current respective purposes have been completed and dedicated to public use and accepted by all Governmental Authorities.

4.1.18 Enforceability. The Loan Documents are not subject to any right of rescission, set-off, counterclaim or defense by Borrower, including the defense of usury, nor would the operation of any of the terms of the Loan Documents, or the exercise of any right thereunder, render the Loan Documents unenforceable, and Borrower has not asserted any right of rescission, set-off, counterclaim or defense with respect thereto.

ARTICLE 5
BORROWER COVENANTS
Section 5.1 Affirmative Covenants. From the Closing Date and until payment and performance in full of all obligations of Borrower under the Loan Documents or the earlier release of the Liens of the Mortgages encumbering the Properties (and all related obligations) in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, Borrower hereby covenants and agrees with Lender that:
5.1.1 Existence; Compliance with Legal Requirements; Insurance. Borrower shall do or cause to be done all things necessary to preserve, renew and keep in full force and effect its existence, rights, licenses, permits and franchises and comply with all Legal Requirements applicable to it and the Properties. No Borrower shall commit, nor shall Borrower permit any other Person in occupancy of or involved with the operation or use of the Properties to commit, any act or omission affording the federal government or any state or local government the right of forfeiture as against any Individual Properties or any part thereof or any monies paid in performance of Borrower’s obligations under any of the Loan Documents. Borrower hereby covenants and agrees not to commit, permit or suffer to exist any act or omission affording such right of forfeiture. Borrower shall at all times maintain, preserve and protect all its franchises and trade names and preserve all the remainder of its property used or useful in the conduct of its business and shall keep the Properties in good working order and repair, and from time to time
58
make, or cause to be made, all reasonably necessary repairs, renewals, replacements, betterments and improvements thereto, all as more fully provided in the Mortgage. Borrower shall keep the Properties insured at all times by financially sound and reputable insurers, to such extent and against such risks, and maintain liability and such other insurance, as is more fully provided in this Agreement. Borrower shall operate, or cause the tenant to operate, any Individual Property that is the subject of an O&M Agreement (if any) in accordance with the terms and provisions thereof in all material respects. After prior written notice to Lender, Borrower, at its own expense, may contest by appropriate legal proceeding promptly initiated and conducted in good faith and with due diligence, the validity of any Legal Requirement, the applicability of any Legal Requirement to Borrower or any Individual Property or any alleged violation of any Legal Requirement, provided that (i) no Event of Default has occurred and remains uncured; (ii) intentionally omitted; (iii) such proceeding shall be permitted under and be conducted in accordance with the provisions of any instrument to which Borrower is subject and shall not constitute a default thereunder and such proceeding shall be conducted in accordance with all applicable statutes, laws and ordinances; (iv) no Individual Property nor any part thereof or interest therein will not be in danger of being sold, forfeited, terminated, cancelled or lost; (v) Borrower shall promptly upon final determination thereof comply with any such Legal Requirement determined to be valid or applicable or cure any violation of any Legal Requirement; (vi) such proceeding shall suspend the enforcement of the contested Legal Requirement against Borrower or any Individual Property; and (vii) Borrower shall furnish such security as may be required in the proceeding, or as may be requested by Lender, to insure compliance with such Legal Requirement, together with all interest and penalties payable in connection therewith. Lender may apply any such security, as necessary to cause compliance with such Legal Requirement at any time when, in the reasonable judgment of Lender, the validity, applicability or violation of such Legal Requirement is finally established or any Individual Property (or any part thereof or interest therein) shall be in danger of being sold, forfeited, terminated, cancelled or lost.
5.1.2 Taxes and Other Charges. Borrower shall pay or cause to be paid all Taxes and Other Charges now or hereafter levied or assessed or imposed against the Properties or any part thereof as the same become due and payable; provided, however, Borrower’s obligation to directly pay to the appropriate taxing authority Taxes shall be suspended for so long as Borrower complies with the terms and provisions of Section 7.2 hereof. Borrower will deliver to Lender receipts for payment or other evidence satisfactory to Lender that the Taxes and Other Charges have been so paid or are not then delinquent no later than ten (10) days prior to the date on which the Taxes and/or Other Charges would otherwise be delinquent if not paid (provided, however, that Borrower is not required to furnish such receipts for payment of Taxes in the event that such Taxes have been paid by Lender pursuant to Section 7.2 hereof). Provided no Event of Default shall then exist, if Borrower pays or causes to be paid all Taxes and Other Charges and provides a copy of the receipt evidencing the payment thereof to Lender, then Lender shall reimburse Borrower, provided that there are then sufficient proceeds in the Tax and Insurance Escrow Fund and provided that the Taxes are being paid pursuant to Section 7.2. Upon written request of Borrower, if Lender has paid such Taxes pursuant to Section 7.2 hereof, Lender shall provide Borrower with evidence that such Taxes have been paid.

(k) In the event Lender determines, in connection with a Securitization, that the financial statements required in order to comply with Regulation AB or other legal requirements are other than as provided herein, then notwithstanding the provisions of Section 5.1.11(h) hereof, Lender may request, and Borrower shall promptly provide, such other financial statements as Lender determines to be necessary or appropriate for such compliance

(a) Borrower may enter into Leases (other than an Operating Lease) or modify existing Leases (other than an Operating Lease) demising a portion of an Individual Property less than or equal to the Relevant Leasing Threshold without Lender’s prior approval provided such Leases shall be on commercially reasonable terms and shall not contain any terms which would materially affect Lender’s rights under the Loan Documents, and further provided that such Leases shall provide that they are subordinate to the Mortgage encumbering the applicable Individual Property and that the tenant thereunder agrees to attorn to Lender or any purchaser at a sale by foreclosure or power of sale. Borrower may not enter into a Lease or modify an existing Lease covering all or substantially all of an Individual Property without the prior written approval of Lender, which approval may be given or withheld in the sole discretion of Lender. Borrower may not enter into Leases or modify existing Leases demising a portion of an Individual Property greater than the Relevant Leasing Threshold without the prior written approval of Lender, provided, however, Lender shall not withhold such approval if Borrower delivers to Lender together with its request for approval an abstract or summary of the proposed Lease terms, an affidavit certifying that the Leasing Conditions have been satisfied. To the extent Lender’s approval or consent is required, Lender shall approve or disapprove any such Lease or modification (excluding a Lease for all or substantially all of an Individual Property) within ten (10) Business Days of Lender’s receipt of Borrower’s written request for approval together with the foregoing, and such Lease shall be deemed approved, if Lender does not disapprove such Lease within said ten (10) Business Day period provided such written notice conspicuously states, in large bold type, that “PURSUANT TO SECTION 5.1.20 OF THE LOAN AGREEMENT, THE LEASE SHALL BE DEEMED APPROVED IF LENDER DOES NOT RESPOND TO THE CONTRARY WITHIN TEN (10) BUSINESS DAYS OF LENDER’S RECEIPT OF SUCH LEASE AND WRITTEN NOTICE”. Borrower shall furnish Lender with executed copies of all Leases. Borrower (i) shall observe and perform the obligations imposed upon the lessor under the Leases in a commercially reasonable manner; (ii) shall enforce the terms, covenants and conditions contained in the Leases upon the part of the tenant thereunder to be observed or performed in a commercially reasonable manner and in a manner not to impair the value of the Individual Property involved except that, subject to the terms of this Section 5.1.20, no termination by Borrower or acceptance of surrender by a tenant of any Lease shall be permitted without the written consent of Lender which consent may be withheld in the sole discretion of Lender; (iii) shall not collect any of the rents more than one (1) month in advance (other than security deposits); (iv) shall not execute any other assignment of lessor’s interest in the Leases or the Rents (except as contemplated by the Loan Documents); and (v) shall execute
68
and deliver at the request of Lender all such further assurances, confirmations and assignment in connection with the Leases as Lender shall from time to time reasonably require. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Borrower may, without the prior written consent of Lender, terminate (or accept a surrender of) any Lease which demises less than the Relevant Leasing Threshold under any of the following circumstances: (i) the tenant under said Lease is in default beyond any applicable grace and cure period, and Borrower has the right to terminate such Lease; (ii) such termination is permitted by the terms of the Lease in question and Borrower has secured an obligation from a third party to lease the space under the Lease to be terminated at a rental equal to or higher than the rental due under the Lease to be terminated; and (iii) if the tenant under the Lease to be terminated has executed a right under said Lease to terminate its Lease upon payment of a termination fee to Borrower, and has in fact terminated its Lease and paid said fee, Borrower may accept said termination.
(b) Borrower shall (i) observe and perform the obligations imposed upon the lessor under the Leases in a commercially reasonable manner; (ii) enforce the terms, covenants and conditions contained in the Leases upon the part of the lessee thereunder to be observed or performed in a commercially reasonable manner and in all material respects; (iii) not collect any of the Rents more than one (1) month in advance (other than security deposits); (iv) not execute any assignment of lessor’s interest in the Leases or the Rents (except as contemplated by the Loan Documents); and (v) hold all security deposits under all Leases in accordance with Legal Requirements.
(c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, without the prior written consent of Lender, which consent may be withheld in Lender’s sole discretion, Borrower shall not (i) enter into an Operating Lease or surrender, terminate or cancel the Operating Lease to which it is a party; (ii) reduce or consent to the reduction of the term of the Operating Lease to which it is a party; (iii) increase or consent to the increase of the amount of any charges under the Operating Lease to which it is a party; (iv) modify, change, supplement, alter, replace or amend the Operating Lease to which it is a party or waive or release any of Borrower’s rights and remedies under the Operating Lease, including, without limitation, any material defaults; or (v) grant its consent or approval as may be requested or required in connection with the terms and provisions of the Operating Lease to which it is a party with respect to any matter that would require the consent of Lender pursuant to the Loan Documents. Notwithstanding the foregoing, provided both an Individual Owner Borrower and Individual Operating Lessee Borrower are the parties to the Operating Lease and are owned, directly or indirectly, by a real estate investment trust, Lender shall not unreasonably withhold its consent to changes to the Operating Lease (including, but not limited to, changes in rent payable) deemed by Borrower to be necessary to comply with tax requirements related to real estate investment trusts. Solely with respect to such required changes, Lender shall attempt to approve or disapprove any such modification within ten (10) Business Days of Lender’s receipt of Borrower’s written request for approval, provided such written notice conspicuously states, in large bold type, that “PURSUANT TO SECTION 5.1.20 OF THE LOAN AGREEMENT, LENDER SHALL RESPOND WITHIN TEN (10) BUSINESS DAYS OF LENDER’S RECEIPT.” If Lender does not approve or disapprove same within said ten (10) Business Day period, Borrower shall provide a second written request for approval, which written request conspicuously states, in large bold type, that “PURSUANT TO SECTION 5.1.20 OF THE LOAN AGREEMENT, THIS REQUEST SHALL BE DEEMED APPROVED IF LENDER DOES NOT RESPOND TO THE CONTRARY WITHIN TEN (10)
69
BUSINESS DAYS OF LENDER’S RECEIPT”. If Lender does not disapprove such request within such second ten (10) Business Day period, such request shall be deemed approved. Further notwithstanding the foregoing, Lender shall not unreasonably withhold its consent to an Individual Owner Borrower renewing any Operating Lease upon the expiration thereof or to an Individual Owner Borrower entering into a new Operating Lease with an Individual Operating Lessee Borrower upon the expiration of the current Operating Lease. As conditions precedent to an Individual Owner Borrower renewing any Operating Lease or entering into a new Operating Lease after the date hereof, in addition to obtaining Lender’s consent to the terms thereof as required above (A) An Individual Owner Borrower shall provide written notice to Lender of such renewed or new Operating Lease not less than thirty (30) days prior to the date on which such renewed or new Operating Lease blacklined to the Operating Lease being replaced, (B) intentionally omitted, (C) Individual Owner Borrower and Individual Operating Lessee Borrower shall execute and deliver to Lender (and record in the appropriate real estate records if required by Lender) such amendments of the Loan Documents to which they are respectively a party as may be reasonably required by Lender to evidence, preserve and/or protect the collateral securing or intended to secure the Obligations, and (D) Individual Owner Borrower and/or Individual Operating Lessee Borrower shall deliver to Lender evidence reasonably acceptable to Lender that the Franchise Agreement and the Management Agreement and all other licenses and permits required to operate the Property as a hotel are and shall remain in full force and effect.

(“Terrorism Insurance Guarantor”) executes a guaranty, in form and substance satisfactory to Lender, guaranteeing in the event of any act of terrorism, payment to Lender of any sums that Borrower is obligated to pay to Lender under clause (I) above (which shall be applied in accordance with Section 6.4 hereof) and (III) Terrorism Insurance Guarantor maintains a net worth of at least $500,000,000 (as determined by such entity’s most recent audited financial statements), such entity maintains a direct or indirect ownership interest in Borrower, and the aggregate Loan to Value Ratio (as determined by Lender) for all properties on which such entity has a direct or indirect ownership interest shall not exceed 55%, however, Terrorism Insurance Guarantor may exceed the 55% Loan to Value Ratio for a period not to exceed six (6) months out of any twelve (12) month period either 1) during the time period when Terrorism Insurance Guarantor is offering securities to the public, or 2) when in the business judgment of Terrorism Insurance Guarantor, exceeding an Loan to Value Ratio of 55% is necessary given existing circumstances of the credit environment, if the Terrorism Insurance Guarantor maintains a net worth greater than or equal to $600,000,000, but in no event shall the LTV exceed 65%.
(ix) upon sixty (60) days’ written notice, such other reasonable insurance and in such reasonable amounts as Lender from time to time may reasonably request against such other insurable hazards which at the time are commonly insured against for property similar to the Individual Property located in or around the region in which the Individual Property is located.
(b) All insurance provided for in Section 6.1(a) shall be obtained under valid and enforceable policies (collectively, the “Policies” or in the singular, the “Policy”), and shall be subject to the approval of Lender as to insurance companies, amounts, deductibles, loss payees
81
and insureds. The Policies shall be issued by one or more financially sound and responsible insurance companies authorized to do business in the State of New York (admitted or non-admitted basis) and having a claims paying ability rating of “A-” or better or its equivalent by at least two (2) of the Rating Agencies, one of which shall be Standard & Poor’s Ratings Group (S&P), or by a syndicate of insurers through which at least 60% of the coverage is with carriers having such claims paying ability ratings (provided that all such carriers shall have claims paying ability ratings of not less than “BBB” by S&P and the equivalent rating by other Rating Agencies). The Policies described in Section 6.1 (other than those strictly limited to liability protection) shall designate Lender as loss payee. Not less than thirty (30) days prior to the expiration dates of the Policies theretofore furnished to Lender, certificates of insurance evidencing the Policies accompanied by evidence satisfactory to Lender of payment of the premiums due thereunder (the “Insurance Premiums”), shall be delivered by Borrower to Lender.
(c) Any blanket insurance Policy shall specifically allocate to the Individual Property the amount of coverage from time to time required hereunder and shall otherwise provide the same protection as would a separate Policy insuring only the Properties in compliance with the provisions of Section 6.1(a).
(d) All Policies of insurance provided for or contemplated by Section 6.1(a), except for the Policy referenced in Section 6.1(a)(v), shall name Borrower, as the insured and Lender as the additional insured, as its interests may appear, and in the case of property damage, boiler and machinery, flood and earthquake insurance, shall contain a so-called New York standard non-contributing mortgagee clause in favor of Lender providing that the loss thereunder shall be payable to Lender.
(e) All Policies of insurance provided for in Section 6.1(a) shall contain clauses or endorsements to the effect that:
(i) no act or negligence of Borrower, or anyone acting for Borrower, or of any tenant or other occupant, or failure to comply with the provisions of any Policy, which might otherwise result in a forfeiture of the insurance or any part thereof, shall in any way affect the validity or enforceability of the insurance insofar as Lender is concerned;
(ii) the Policy shall not be materially changed (other than to increase the coverage provided thereby) or canceled without at least thirty (30) days’ written notice to Lender and any other party named therein as an additional insured;
(iii) the issuers thereof shall give written notice to Lender if the Policy has not been renewed fifteen (15) days prior to its expiration; and
(iv) Lender shall not be liable for any Insurance Premiums thereon or subject to any assessments thereunder.
(f) If at any time Lender is not in receipt of written evidence that all insurance required hereunder is in full force and effect, Lender shall have the right, after ten (10) Business Days written notice to Borrower, to take such action as Lender deems necessary to protect its
82
interest in the Properties, including, without limitation, the obtaining of such insurance coverage as Lender in its sole discretion deems appropriate. All premiums incurred by Lender in connection with such action or in obtaining such insurance and keeping it in effect shall be paid by Borrower to Lender upon demand and, until paid, shall be secured by the Mortgages and shall bear interest at the Default Rate. If Borrower fails in so insuring the Properties or in so assigning and delivering the Policies, Lender may, at its option, obtain such insurance using such carriers and agencies as Lender shall elect from year to year and pay the premiums therefor, and Borrower will reimburse Lender for any premium so paid, with interest thereon as stated in the Note from the time of payment, on demand, and the amount so owning to Lender shall be secured by the Mortgages. The insurance obtained by Lender may, but need not, protect Borrower’s interest and the coverage that Lender purchases may not pay any claim that Borrower makes or any claim that is made against Borrower in connection with the Properties.
Section 6.2 Casualty. If any Individual Property shall be damaged or destroyed, in whole or in part, by fire or other casualty (a “Casualty”), Borrower (a) shall give to Lender prompt notice of such damage reasonably estimated by Borrower to cost more than One Hundred Thousand Dollars ($100,000.00) to repair, and (b) shall promptly commence and diligently prosecute the completion of the Restoration of the Individual Property as nearly as possible to the condition the Individual Property was in immediately prior to such fire or other Casualty, with such alterations as may be reasonably approved by Lender (a “Restoration”) and otherwise in accordance with Section 6.4. Borrower shall pay all costs of such Restoration whether or not such costs are covered by insurance. Lender may, but shall not be obligated to make proof of loss if not made promptly by Borrower.
Section 6.3 Condemnation.
(a) Borrower shall promptly give Lender notice of the actual or threatened commencement of any proceeding for the Condemnation of any Individual Property and shall deliver to Lender copies of any and all papers served in connection with such proceedings. Lender may participate in any such proceedings, and Borrower shall from time to time deliver to Lender all instruments requested by it to permit such participation. Borrower shall, at its expense, diligently prosecute any such proceedings, and shall consult with Lender, its attorneys and experts, and cooperate with them in the carrying on or defense of any such proceedings. Notwithstanding any taking by any public or quasi-public authority through Condemnation or otherwise (including but not limited to any transfer made in lieu of or in anticipation of the exercise of such taking), Borrower shall continue to pay the Debt at the time and in the manner provided for its payment in the Note and in this Agreement and the Debt shall not be reduced until any Award shall have been actually received and applied by Lender, after the deduction of expenses of collection, to the reduction or discharge of the Debt. Lender shall not be limited to the interest paid on the Award by the condemning authority but shall be entitled to receive out of the Award interest at the rate or rates provided herein or in the Note. If any Individual Property or any portion thereof is taken by a condemning authority, Borrower shall promptly commence and diligently prosecute the Restoration of the applicable Individual Property and otherwise comply with the provisions of Section 6.4. If any Individual Property is sold, through foreclosure or otherwise, prior to the receipt by Lender of the Award, Lender shall have the right, whether or not a deficiency judgment on the Note shall have been sought, recovered or denied, to receive the Award, or a portion thereof sufficient to pay the Debt.
83
(b) Intentionally deleted.
Section 6.4 Restoration. The following provisions shall apply in connection with the Restoration of any Individual Property:
(a) If the Net Proceeds shall be less than Relevant Restoration Threshold and the costs of completing the Restoration shall be less than the Relevant Restoration Threshold, the Net Proceeds will be disbursed by Lender to Borrower upon receipt, provided that all of the conditions set forth in clauses (A), (E), (F), (G), (H), (J) and (L) of Section 6.4(b)(i) below are met and Borrower delivers to Lender a written undertaking to expeditiously commence and to satisfactorily complete with due diligence the Restoration in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.
(b) If the Net Proceeds are equal to or greater than the Relevant Restoration Threshold or the costs of completing the Restoration is equal to or greater than the Relevant Restoration Threshold, then in either case, Lender shall make the Net Proceeds available for the Restoration in accordance with the provisions of this Section 6.4(b). The term “Net Proceeds” for purposes of this Section 6.4 shall mean: (x) the net amount of all insurance proceeds received by Lender pursuant to Section 6.1 (a)(i), (iv), (vi) and (viii) as a result of such damage or destruction, after deduction of its reasonable costs and expenses (including, but not limited to, reasonable counsel fees), if any, in collecting same (“Insurance Proceeds”), or (y) the net amount of the Award, after deduction of its reasonable costs and expenses (including, but not limited to, reasonable counsel fees), if any, in collecting same (“Condemnation Proceeds”), whichever the case may be.
(i) The Net Proceeds shall be made available to Borrower for Restoration provided that each of the following conditions are met:
(A) no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing;
(B) (1) in the event the Net Proceeds are Insurance Proceeds, and less than twenty-five percent (25%) of the total floor area of the Improvements on the Individual Property has been damaged, destroyed or rendered unusable as a result of such fire or other casualty, or (2) in the event the Net Proceeds are Condemnation Proceeds, and less than ten percent (10%) of the land constituting the Individual Property is taken, and such land is located along the perimeter or periphery of the Individual Property, and no portion of the Improvements is located on such land;
(C) Intentionally Omitted;
(D) Borrower shall commence the Restoration as soon as reasonably practicable (but in no event later than ninety (90) days after such Casualty or Condemnation, whichever the case may be, occurs) and shall diligently pursue the same to satisfactory completion;
(E) Lender shall be satisfied that any operating deficits, including all scheduled payments of principal and interest under the Note, which will be incurred with respect to the Individual Property as a result of the occurrence of any such Casualty or Condemnation, whichever the case may be, will be covered out of (1) the Net Proceeds, (2) the insurance coverage referred to in Section 6.1(a)(iii), if applicable, or (3) by other funds of Borrower;
84
(F) Lender shall be satisfied that the Restoration will be completed on or before the earliest to occur of (1) the Maturity Date, (2) the earliest date required for such completion under the terms of any Leases, (3) such time as may be required under applicable zoning law, ordinance, rule or regulation in order to repair and restore the applicable Individual Property to the condition it was in immediately prior to such Casualty or to as nearly as possible the condition it was in immediately prior to such Condemnation, as applicable or (4) the expiration of the insurance coverage referred to in Section 6.1(a)(iii);
(G) the Individual Property and the use thereof after the Restoration will be in compliance with and permitted under all applicable zoning laws, ordinances, rules and regulations provided, however, that compliance with such zoning laws, ordinances, rules and regulations (including, without limitation, parking requirements) will not require restoration of the Improvements or the Individual Property to a size, condition, or configuration materially different than that which existed immediately prior to such Casualty or Condemnation;
(H) the Restoration shall be done and completed by Borrower in an expeditious and diligent fashion and in compliance with all applicable governmental laws, rules and regulations (including, without limitation, all applicable environmental laws);
(I) such Casualty or Condemnation, as applicable, does not result in the loss of access to the Individual Property or the related Improvements;
(J) the Debt Service Coverage Ratio for the affected Individual Property and the Aggregate Debt Service Coverage Ratio, after giving effect to the Restoration, shall be equal to or greater than 1.65:1.0;
(K) Borrower shall deliver or cause to be delivered to Lender a signed detailed budget approved in writing by Borrower’s architect or engineer stating the entire cost of completing the Restoration, which budget should be consistent with restoration budgets of similar hotel properties then owned and operated by nationally recognized owners and operators of hotel properties located in the areas in which the Individual Property is located; and
(L) the Net Proceeds together with any cash or cash equivalent deposited by Borrower with Lender are sufficient in Lender’s discretion to cover the cost of the Restoration.
(ii) The Net Proceeds shall be held by Lender in an interest bearing account and, until disbursed in accordance with the provisions of this Section 6.4(b), shall constitute additional security for the Debt and other obligations under the Loan Documents. The Net Proceeds shall be disbursed by Lender to, or as directed by, Borrower from time to time during the course of the Restoration, upon receipt of evidence satisfactory to Lender that (A) all materials installed and work and labor performed to be paid for out of the requested disbursement in connection with the Restoration have been performed, and (B) there exist no notices of pendency, stop orders, mechanic’s or materialman’s liens or notices of intention to file same, or any other liens or encumbrances of any nature whatsoever on the Individual Property which have not either been fully bonded to the satisfaction of Lender and discharged of record or in the
85
alternative fully insured to the satisfaction of Lender by the title company issuing the Title Insurance Policy.
(iii) All plans and specifications required in connection with the Restoration shall be subject to prior review and acceptance in all respects by Lender and by an independent consulting engineer selected by Lender (the “Casualty Consultant”), such review and acceptance not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed. Lender shall have the use of the plans and specifications and all permits, licenses and approvals required or obtained in connection with the Restoration. The identity of the contractors, subcontractors and materialmen engaged in the Restoration, as well as the contracts under which they have been engaged, shall be subject to prior review and acceptance by Lender and the Casualty Consultant, such review and acceptance not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed. All costs and expenses incurred by Lender in connection with making the Net Proceeds available for the Restoration including, without limitation, reasonable counsel fees and disbursements and the Casualty Consultant’s fees, shall be paid by Borrower.
(iv) In no event shall Lender be obligated to make disbursements of the Net Proceeds in excess of an amount equal to the costs actually incurred from time to time for work in place as part of the Restoration, as certified by the Casualty Consultant, minus the Casualty Retainage. The term “Casualty Retainage” shall mean an amount equal to ten percent (10%) of the costs actually incurred for work in place as part of the Restoration, as certified by the Casualty Consultant, until the Restoration has been completed. The Casualty Retainage shall in no event, and notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth above in this Section 6.4(b), be less than the amount actually held back by Borrower from contractors, subcontractors and materialmen engaged in the Restoration. The Casualty Retainage shall not be released until the Casualty Consultant certifies to Lender that the Restoration has been completed in accordance with the provisions of this Section 6.4(b) and that all approvals necessary for the re-occupancy and use of the Individual Property have been obtained from all appropriate governmental and quasi-governmental authorities, and Lender receives evidence satisfactory to Lender that the costs of the Restoration have been paid in full or will be paid in full out of the Casualty Retainage; provided, however, that Lender will release the portion of the Casualty Retainage being held with respect to any contractor, subcontractor or materialman engaged in the Restoration as of the date upon which the Casualty Consultant certifies to Lender that the contractor, subcontractor or materialman has satisfactorily completed all work and has supplied all materials in accordance with the provisions of the contractor’s, subcontractor’s or materialman’s contract, the contractor, subcontractor or materialman delivers the lien waivers and evidence of payment in full of all sums due to the contractor, subcontractor or materialman as may be reasonably requested by Lender or by the title company issuing the Title Insurance Policy, and Lender receives an endorsement to the Title Insurance Policy insuring the continued priority of the lien of the related Mortgage and evidence of payment of any premium payable for such endorsement. If required by Lender, the release of any such portion of the Casualty Retainage shall be approved by the surety company, if any, which has issued a payment or performance bond with respect to the contractor, subcontractor or materialman.
86
(v) Lender shall not be obligated to make disbursements of the Net Proceeds more frequently than once every calendar month.
(vi) If at any time the Net Proceeds or the undisbursed balance thereof shall not, in the reasonable opinion of Lender in consultation with the Casualty Consultant, be sufficient to pay in full the balance of the costs which are estimated by the Casualty Consultant to be incurred in connection with the completion of the Restoration, Borrower shall deposit the deficiency (the “Net Proceeds Deficiency”) with Lender before any further disbursement of the Net Proceeds shall be made. The Net Proceeds Deficiency deposited with Lender shall be held by Lender and shall be disbursed for costs actually incurred in connection with the Restoration on the same conditions applicable to the disbursement of the Net Proceeds, and until so disbursed pursuant to this Section 6.4(b) shall constitute additional security for the Debt and other obligations under the Loan Documents.
(vii) The excess, if any, of the Net Proceeds and the remaining balance, if any, of the Net Proceeds Deficiency deposited with Lender after the Casualty Consultant certifies to Lender that the Restoration has been completed in accordance with the provisions of this Section 6.4(b), and the receipt by Lender of evidence satisfactory to Lender that all costs incurred in connection with the Restoration have been paid in full, shall be remitted by Lender to Borrower, provided no Event of Default shall have occurred and shall be continuing under the Note, this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents.
(c) All Net Proceeds not required (i) to be made available for the Restoration or (ii) to be returned to Borrower as excess Net Proceeds pursuant to Section 6.4(b)(vii) may be retained and applied by Lender toward the payment of the Debt whether or not then due and payable in such order, priority and proportions as Lender in its sole discretion shall deem proper (provided no Event of Default exists, such Borrower shall not be required to pay any Prepayment Consideration in connection with such payment), or, at the discretion of Lender, the same may be paid, either in whole or in part, to Borrower for such purposes as Lender shall designate, in its discretion.
(d) In the event of foreclosure of the Mortgage with respect to an Individual Property, or other transfer of title of an Individual Property in extinguishment in whole or in part of the Debt all right, title and interest of Borrower in and to the Policies that are not blanket Policies then in force concerning such Individual Property and all proceeds payable thereunder shall thereupon vest in the purchaser at such foreclosure or Lender or other transferee in the event of such other transfer of title.
(e) Lender shall with reasonable promptness following any Casualty or Condemnation notify Borrower whether or not Net Proceeds are required to be made available to Borrower for restoration pursuant to this Section 6.4. All Net Proceeds not required to be made available for Restoration shall be retained and applied by Lender in accordance with Section 2.3.2(a) hereof (a “Net Proceeds Prepayment”). If such Net Proceeds Prepayment shall be equal to or greater than sixty percent (60%) of the Allocated Principal Amount for the applicable Individual Property, Borrower shall have the right to elect to prepay the remaining outstanding
87
principal balance of the Note (a “Casualty/Condemnation Prepayment”) in accordance with Section 2.3.2(b) hereof upon satisfaction of the following conditions: (i) within thirty (30) days following the date of the Net Proceeds Prepayment, Borrower shall provide Lender with written notice of Borrower’s intention to pay the Note in full, (ii) Borrower shall prepay the Note in accordance with Section 2.3.2(b) hereof on or before the second Payment Date occurring following the date of the Net Proceeds Prepayment, and (iii) no Event of Default shall exist on the date of such Casualty/Condemnation Prepayment. Notwithstanding anything in Section 6.2 or Section 6.3 to the contrary, Borrower shall have no obligation to commence Restoration of the affected Individual Property upon delivery of the written notice set forth in clause (i) of the preceding sentence (unless Borrower subsequently shall fail to satisfy the requirement of clause (ii) of the preceding sentence).
ARTICLE 7
RESERVE FUNDS
Section 7.1 Required Repairs.
7.1.1 Deposits. Borrower shall perform the repairs at the Properties, as more particularly set forth on Schedule IV hereto (such repairs hereinafter referred to as “Required Repairs”) within six (6) months from the Closing Date, or such earlier time as specified on Schedule III. If Borrower has not delivered to Lender evidence reasonably satisfactory to Lender that it has completed all Required Repairs on or before the date that is six (6) months from the Closing Date, or such earlier time as specified on Schedule III, Borrower shall deposit with Lender the amount for the Properties set forth on such Schedule III hereto, if any (less the amount allocated to the performance of Required Repairs for which evidence of completion has been delivered to Lender), to perform the Required Repairs for the Properties. Notwithstanding the immediately preceding sentence, if (x) the Required Repairs include life safety items or (y) the aggregate amount of the Required Repairs exceeds $7,000,000, Borrower shall deposit with Lender the amount for the Properties set forth on such Schedule III hereto. Amounts so deposited with Lender, if any, shall be held by Lender in an interest bearing account. Amounts so deposited, if any, shall hereinafter be referred to as Borrower’s “Required Repair Fund” and the account, if any, in which such amounts are held shall hereinafter be referred to as Borrower’s “Required Repair Account”. It shall be an Event of Default under this Agreement if Borrower does not either (i) does not deposit with Lender the Required Repair Fund as set forth above, or (ii) complete the Required Repairs at the Properties within nine (9) months from the Closing Date. Upon the occurrence of such an Event of Default, Lender, at its option, may withdraw all Required Repair Funds from the Required Repair Account and Lender may apply such funds either to completion of the Required Repairs at one or more of the Properties or toward payment of the Debt in such order, proportion and priority as Lender may determine in its sole discretion. Lender’s right to withdraw and apply Required Repair Funds shall be in addition to all other rights and remedies provided to Lender under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.
7.1.2 Release of Required Repair Funds. Lender shall disburse to Borrower the Required Repair Funds from the Required Repair Account from time to time upon satisfaction by Borrower of each of the following conditions: (i) Borrower shall submit a written request for payment to Lender at least fifteen (15) days prior to the date on which Borrower requests such payment be made and specifies the Required Repairs to be paid, (ii) on the date such request is
88
received by Lender and on the date such payment is to be made, no Default or Event of Default shall exist and remain uncured, (iii) Lender shall have received a certificate from Borrower (A) stating that all Required Repairs at the applicable Individual Property to be funded by the requested disbursement have been completed in good and workmanlike manner and in accordance with all applicable federal, state and local laws, rules and regulations, such certificate to be accompanied by a copy of any license, permit or other approval by any Governmental Authority required to commence and/or complete the Required Repairs, (B) identifying each Person that supplied materials or labor in connection with the Required Repairs performed at such Individual Property to be funded by the requested disbursement under a contract in excess of $50,000, and (C) stating that each Person who has supplied materials or labor in connection with the Required Repairs to be funded by the requested disbursement has been paid in full or will be paid in full upon such disbursement, such certificate to be accompanied by lien waivers or other evidence of payment satisfactory to Lender, (iv) at Lender’s option, a title search for such Individual Property indicating that such Individual Property is free from all liens, claims and other encumbrances not previously approved by Lender, and (v) Lender shall have received such other evidence as Lender shall reasonably request that the Required Repairs at such Individual Property to be funded by the requested disbursement have been completed and are paid for or will be paid upon such disbursement to Borrower. Lender shall not be required to make disbursements from the Required Repair Account with respect to an Individual Property more than once each calendar month and such disbursement shall be made only upon satisfaction of each condition contained in this Section 7.1.2.
Section 7.2 Tax and Insurance Escrow Fund. Borrower shall pay to Lender on each Payment Date (a) one-twelfth (1/12) of the Taxes that Lender estimates will be payable during the next ensuing twelve (12) months in order to accumulate with Lender sufficient funds to pay all such Taxes at least thirty (30) days prior to their respective due dates and (b) one-twelfth (1/12) of the Insurance Premiums that Lender estimates will be payable for the renewal of the coverage afforded by the Policies upon the expiration thereof in order to accumulate with Lender sufficient funds to pay all such Insurance Premiums at least thirty (30) days prior to the expiration of the Policies, (said amounts in (a) and (b) above are hereinafter called the “Tax and Insurance Escrow Fund”). The Tax and Insurance Escrow Fund and the payments of interest or principal or both, payable pursuant to the Note, shall be added together and shall be paid as an aggregate sum by Borrower to Lender. Lender will apply the Tax and Insurance Escrow Fund to payments of Taxes and Insurance Premiums required to be made by Borrower pursuant to this Agreement and under the Mortgages. In making any payment relating to the Tax and Insurance Escrow Fund, Lender may do so according to any xxxx, statement or estimate procured from the appropriate public office (with respect to Taxes) or insurer or agent (with respect to Insurance Premiums) or from Borrower without inquiry into the accuracy of such xxxx, statement or estimate or into the validity of any tax, assessment, sale, forfeiture, tax lien or title or claim thereof, provided, however, Lender shall use reasonable efforts to pay such real property taxes sufficiently early to obtain the benefit of any available discounts of which it has knowledge. If the amount of the Tax and Insurance Escrow Fund shall exceed the amounts due for Taxes and Insurance Premiums, Lender shall, in its sole discretion, return any excess to Borrower or credit such excess against future payments to be made to the Tax and Insurance Escrow Fund. The Tax and Insurance Escrow Fund shall be held by Lender in an interest-bearing account and shall at Lender’s option be held in Eligible Account at an Eligible Institution. Any interest earned on said account shall accrue in said account for the benefit of Borrower, but shall remain in and
89
constitute part of the Tax and Insurance Escrow Fund, and shall be disbursed in accordance with the terms hereof. Any amount remaining in the Tax and Insurance Escrow Fund after the Debt has been paid in full shall be returned to Borrower. In allocating such excess, Lender may deal with the Person shown on the records of Lender to be the owner of the Properties. If at any time Lender reasonably determines that the Tax and Insurance Escrow Fund is not or will not be sufficient to pay Taxes or Insurance Premiums by the dates set forth above, Lender shall notify Borrower of such determination and Borrower shall increase its monthly payments to Lender by the amount that Lender estimates is sufficient to make up the deficiency at least thirty (30) days prior to delinquency of the Taxes or Insurance Premiums.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary hereinbefore contained, in the event that Borrower provides (1) evidence satisfactory to Lender that the Properties are insured in accordance with Section 6.1 of this Agreement and (2) evidence satisfactory to Lender that the Taxes for the Properties have been paid in accordance with the requirements set forth in this Agreement, Lender will waive the requirement set forth herein for Borrower to make deposits into the Tax and Insurance Escrow Fund for the payment of Insurance Premiums and for payment of such Taxes, provided, however, Lender expressly reserves the right to require Borrower to make deposits to the Tax and Insurance Escrow Fund for the payment of Insurance Premiums if at any time the Properties are not insured in accordance with Section 6.1 of this Agreement or Taxes are not paid in accordance with the requirements of this Agreement.
Section 7.3 Replacements and Replacement Reserve.
7.3.1 Replacement Reserve Fund. Borrower shall pay to Lender on each Payment Date one-twelfth (1/12) the Annual Replacement Reserve Requirement (the “Replacement Reserve Monthly Deposit”) reasonably estimated by Lender in its sole discretion to be due for replacements and repairs required to be made to the Properties to (i) pay for replacements necessary to keep the Property in good order and repair and in a good marketable condition or prevent deterioration of the Property and (ii) purchase, replace and/or install FF&E necessary to keep the Properties in good order and repair and in a good marketable condition. (collectively, the “Replacements”); provided, however, the Replacement Reserve Monthly Deposit shall never be less than the initial Replacement Reserve Monthly Deposit, which is $453,178. Amounts so deposited shall hereinafter be referred to as Borrower’s “Replacement Reserve Fund” and the account in which such amounts are held shall hereinafter be referred to as Borrower’s “Replacement Reserve Account”. Lender may reassess its estimate of the amount necessary for the Replacement Reserve Fund from time to time, and may increase the monthly amounts required to be deposited into the Replacement Reserve Fund upon thirty (30) days notice to Borrower if Lender determines in its reasonable discretion that an increase is necessary to maintain the proper maintenance and operation of the Properties. Any amount held in the Replacement Reserve Account and allocated for an Individual Property shall be retained by Lender in an interest bearing account, or, at the option of Lender, in an Eligible Account at an Eligible Institution; provided, however, that, any interest earned on said account shall accrue in said account for the benefit of Borrower, but shall remain in and constitute part of the Replacement Reserve Fund, and shall be disbursed in accordance with the terms hereof.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 7.3, Borrower shall not be required to make Replacement Reserve Monthly Deposits, provided that: (i) no Event of Default
90
shall have occurred; and (ii) Borrower makes all necessary Replacements and otherwise maintains the Properties to Lender’s satisfaction. Upon notice from Lender following: (a) an Event of Default; or (b) the failure of Borrower to make necessary Replacements or otherwise maintain the Properties to Lender’s satisfaction, Borrower shall begin to deposit the Replacement Reserve Monthly Deposit into the Replacement Reserve Fund beginning on the Payment Date (as defined herein) immediately following the date of such notice. If Borrower is required to make Replacement Reserve Monthly Deposits, then any amounts deposited by Manager into the Controlled Replacements Accounts shall be credited against Borrower’s obligation.
7.3.2 Disbursements from Replacement Reserve Account.
(a) Lender shall make disbursements from the Replacement Reserve Account to pay Borrower only for the costs of the Replacements. Lender shall not be obligated to make disbursements from the Replacement Reserve Account to reimburse Borrower for the costs of routine maintenance to an Individual Property or for costs which are to be reimbursed from the Required Repair Fund (if any).
(b) Lender shall, upon written request from Borrower and satisfaction of the requirements set forth in this Section 7.3.2, disburse to Borrower amounts from the Replacement Reserve Account necessary to pay for the actual approved costs of Replacements or to reimburse Borrower therefor, upon completion of such Replacements (or, upon partial completion in the case of Replacements made pursuant to Section 7.3.2(f)) as determined by Lender. In no event shall Lender be obligated to disburse funds from the Replacement Reserve Account if a Default or an Event of Default exists.
(c) Each request for disbursement from the Replacement Reserve Account shall be in a form specified or approved by Lender and shall specify (i) the specific Replacements for which the disbursement is requested, (ii) the quantity and price of each item purchased, if the Replacement includes the purchase or replacement of specific items, (iii) the price of all materials (grouped by type or category) used in any Replacement other than the purchase or replacement of specific items, and (iv) the cost of all contracted labor or other services applicable to each Replacement for which such request for disbursement is made. With each request Borrower shall certify that all Replacements have been made in accordance with all applicable Legal Requirements of any Governmental Authority having jurisdiction over the applicable Individual Property to which the Replacements are being provided and, unless Lender has agreed to issue joint checks as described below, each request shall include evidence of payment of all such amounts. Each request for disbursement shall include copies of invoices for all items or materials purchased and all contracted labor or services provided. Except as provided in Section 7.3.2(e), each request for disbursement from the Replacement Reserve Account shall be made only after completion of the Replacement for which disbursement is requested. Borrower shall provide Lender evidence of completion satisfactory to Lender in its reasonable judgment.
(d) Borrower shall pay all invoices in connection with the Replacements with respect to which a disbursement is requested prior to submitting such request for disbursement from the Replacement Reserve Account or, at the request of Borrower, Lender will issue joint checks, payable to Borrower and the contractor, supplier, materialman, mechanic, subcontractor or other party to whom payment is due in connection with a Replacement. In the case of payments made
91
by joint check, Lender may require a waiver of lien from each Person receiving payment prior to Lender’s disbursement from the Replacement Reserve Account. In addition, as a condition to any disbursement, Lender may require Borrower to obtain lien waivers from each contractor, supplier, materialman, mechanic or subcontractor who receives payment in an amount equal to or greater than $100,000 for completion of its work or delivery of its materials. Any lien waiver delivered hereunder shall conform to the requirements of applicable law and shall cover all work performed and materials supplied (including equipment and fixtures) for the applicable Individual Property by that contractor, supplier, subcontractor, mechanic or materialman through the date covered by the current reimbursement request (or, in the event that payment to such contractor, supplier, subcontractor, mechanic or materialmen is to be made by a joint check, the release of lien shall be effective through the date covered by the previous release of funds request).
(e) If (i) the cost of a Replacement exceeds $100,000, (ii) the contractor performing such Replacement requires periodic payments pursuant to terms of a written contract, and (iii) Lender has approved in writing in advance such periodic payments, a request for reimbursement from the Replacement Reserve Account may be made after completion of a portion of the work under such contract, provided (A) such contract requires payment upon completion of such portion of the work, (B) the materials for which the request is made are on site at the applicable Individual Property and are properly secured or have been installed in such Individual Property, (C) all other conditions in this Agreement for disbursement have been satisfied, (D) funds remaining in the Replacement Reserve Account are, in Lender’s judgment, sufficient to complete such Replacement and other Replacements when required, and (E) if required by Lender, each contractor or subcontractor receiving payments under such contract shall provide a waiver of lien with respect to amounts which have been paid to that contractor or subcontractor.
(f) Borrower shall not make a request for disbursement from the Replacement Reserve Account more frequently than once in any calendar month and (except in connection with the final disbursement) the total cost of all Replacements in any request shall not be less than $5,000.00.
7.3.3 Performance of Replacements.
(a) Borrower shall make Replacements when required in order to keep each Individual Property in condition and repair consistent with other first class, full service limited service hotels in the same market segment in the metropolitan area in which the respective Individual Property is located, and to keep each Individual Property or any portion thereof from deteriorating. Borrower shall complete all Replacements in a good and workmanlike manner as soon as practicable following the commencement of making each such Replacement.
(b) Lender reserves the right, at its option, to approve all contracts or work orders with materialmen, mechanics, suppliers, subcontractors, contractors or other parties providing labor or materials under contracts for an amount in excess of $100,000 in connection with the Replacements performed by Borrower. Upon Lender’s request, Borrower shall assign any contract or subcontract to Lender.
92
(c) In the event Lender determines in its reasonable discretion that any Replacement is not being performed in a workmanlike or timely manner or that any Replacement has not been completed in a workmanlike or timely manner, and such failure continues to exist for more than thirty (30) days after notice from Lender to Borrower, Lender shall have the option to withhold disbursement for such unsatisfactory Replacement and to proceed under existing contracts or to contract with third parties to complete such Replacement and to apply the Replacement Reserve Fund toward the labor and materials necessary to complete such Replacement, without providing any prior notice to Borrower and to exercise any and all other remedies available to Lender upon an Event of Default hereunder.
(d) In order to facilitate Lender’s completion or making of such Replacements pursuant to Section 7.3.3(c) above, Borrower grants Lender the right to enter onto any Individual Property and perform any and all work and labor necessary to complete or make such Replacements and/or employ watchmen to protect such Individual Property from damage. All sums so expended by Lender, to the extent not from the Replacement Reserve Fund, shall be deemed to have been advanced under the Loan to Borrower and secured by the Mortgages. For this purpose Borrower constitutes and appoints Lender its true and lawful attorney-in-fact with full power of substitution to complete or undertake the Replacements in the name of Borrower. Such power of attorney shall be deemed to be a power coupled with an interest and cannot be revoked but shall only be effective following an Event of Default. Borrower empowers said attorney-in-fact as follows: (i) to use any funds in the Replacement Reserve Account for the purpose of making or completing the Replacements; (ii) to make such additions, changes and corrections to the Replacements as shall be necessary or desirable to complete the Replacements; (iii) to employ such contractors, subcontractors, agents, architects and inspectors as shall be required for such purposes; (iv) to pay, settle or compromise all existing bills and claims which are or may become Liens against any Individual Property, or as may be necessary or desirable for the completion of the Replacements, or for clearance of title; (v) to execute all applications and certificates in the name of Borrower which may be required by any of the contract documents; (vi) to prosecute and defend all actions or proceedings in connection with any Individual Property or the rehabilitation and repair of any Individual Property; and (vii) to do any and every act which Borrower might do in its own behalf to fulfill the terms of this Agreement.
(e) Nothing in this Section 7.3.3 shall: (i) make Lender responsible for making or completing the Replacements; (ii) require Lender to expend funds in addition to the Replacement Reserve Fund to make or complete any Replacement; (iii) obligate Lender to proceed with the Replacements; or (iv) obligate Lender to demand from Borrower additional sums to make or complete any Replacement.
(f) Borrower shall permit Lender and Lender’s agents and representatives (including, without limitation, Lender’s engineer, architect, or inspector) or third parties making Replacements pursuant to this Section 7.3.3 to enter onto each Individual Property during normal business hours (subject to the rights of tenants under their Leases) to inspect the progress of any Replacements and all materials being used in connection therewith, to examine all plans and shop drawings relating to such Replacements which are or may be kept at each Individual Property, and to complete any Replacements made pursuant to this Section 7.3.3. Borrower shall cause all contractors and subcontractors to cooperate with Lender or Lender’s representatives or
93
such other persons described above in connection with inspections described in this Section 7.3.3(f) or the completion of Replacements pursuant to this Section 7.3.3.
(g) Lender may require an inspection of the Individual Property at Borrower’s expense prior to making a monthly disbursement in excess of $10,000 from the Replacement Reserve Account in order to verify completion of the Replacements for which reimbursement is sought. Lender may require that such inspection be conducted by an appropriate independent qualified professional selected by Lender and/or may require a copy of a certificate of completion by an independent qualified professional acceptable to Lender prior to the disbursement of any amounts from the Replacement Reserve Account. Borrower shall pay the expense of the inspection as required hereunder, whether such inspection is conducted by Lender or by an independent qualified professional.
(h) The Replacements and all materials, equipment, fixtures, or any other item comprising a part of any Replacement shall be constructed, installed or completed, as applicable, free and clear of all mechanic’s, materialman’s or other liens (except for those Liens existing on the date of this Agreement which have been approved in writing by Lender).
(i) Before each disbursement from the Replacement Reserve Account, Lender may require Borrower to provide Lender with a search of title to the applicable Individual Property effective to the date of the disbursement, which search shows that no mechanic’s or materialmen’s liens or other liens of any nature have been placed against the applicable Individual Property since the date of recordation of the related Mortgage and that title to such Individual Property is free and clear of all Liens (other than the lien of the Mortgage and any other Liens previously approved in writing by Lender, if any).
(j) All Replacements shall comply with all applicable Legal Requirements of all Governmental Authorities having jurisdiction over the applicable Individual Property and applicable insurance requirements including, without limitation, applicable building codes, special use permits, environmental regulations, and requirements of insurance underwriters.
(k) In addition to any insurance required under the Loan Documents, Borrower shall provide or cause to be provided workmen’s compensation insurance, builder’s risk, and public liability insurance and other insurance to the extent required under applicable law in connection with a particular Replacement. All such policies shall be in form and amount reasonably satisfactory to Lender. All such policies which can be endorsed with standard mortgagee clauses making loss payable to Lender or its assigns shall be so endorsed. Certified copies of such policies shall be delivered to Lender.
7.3.4 Failure to Make Replacements.
(a) It shall be an Event of Default under this Agreement if Borrower fails to comply with any provision of this Section 7.3.4 and such failure is not cured within thirty (30) days after notice from Lender; provided, however, if such failure is not capable of being cured within said thirty (30) day period, then provided that Borrower commences action to complete such cure and thereafter diligently proceeds to complete such cure, such thirty (30) day period shall be extended for such time as is reasonably necessary for Borrower, in the exercise of due diligence,
94
to cure such failure, but such additional period of time shall not exceed sixty (60) days. Upon the occurrence of such an Event of Default, Lender may use the Replacement Reserve Fund (or any portion thereof) for any purpose, including but not limited to completion of the Replacements as provided in Section 7.3.3, or for any other repair or replacement to any Individual Property or toward payment of the Debt in such order, proportion and priority as Lender may determine in its sole discretion. Lender’s right to withdraw and apply the Replacement Reserve Funds shall be in addition to all other rights and remedies provided to Lender under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.
(b) Nothing in this Agreement shall obligate Lender to apply all or any portion of the Replacement Reserve Fund on account of an Event of Default to payment of the Debt or in any specific order or priority.
7.3.5 Balance in the Replacement Reserve Account. The insufficiency of any balance in the Replacement Reserve Account shall not relieve Borrower from its obligation to fulfill all preservation and maintenance covenants in the Loan Documents.
7.3.6 Indemnification. Borrower shall indemnify Lender and hold Lender harmless from and against any and all actions, suits, claims, demands, liabilities, losses, damages, obligations and costs and expenses (including litigation costs and reasonable attorneys fees and expenses) arising from or in any way connected with the performance of the Replacements unless the same are solely due to gross negligence or willful misconduct of Lender. Borrower shall assign to Lender all rights and claims Borrower may have against all persons or entities supplying labor or materials in connection with the Replacements; provided, however, that Lender may not pursue any such right or claim unless an Event of Default has occurred and remains uncured.
Section 7.4 PIP Reserve.
7.4.1 Deposits. Subject to Section 7.4.3 hereof, on the Closing Date, Borrower shall deposit with Lender (a) $604,594.60 (the “Minimum PIP Reserve Deposit”), plus (b) the amount for each Individual Property set forth on such Schedule XIV hereto (cumulatively, the “Initial PIP Reserve Deposit”) to perform the PIP Requirements for such Individual Property. In addition, at any time Lender reasonably determines that the required balance in the PIP Reserve Fund (defined below) is insufficient to satisfy PIP requirements during the next twelve month period, Lender may require Borrower to make additional deposits to the PIP Reserve Fund in an amount equal to the deficiency (the “Additional PIP Reserve Deposits”; together with the Initial PIP Reserve Deposit, the “PIP Reserve Deposit”). The Minimum PIP Reserve Deposit, the PIP Reserve Deposit and all other amounts so deposited with Lender, if any, shall be held by Lender in an interest bearing account. Amounts so deposited, if any, shall hereinafter be referred to as Borrower’s “PIP Reserve Fund” and the account, if any, in which such amounts are held shall hereinafter be referred to as Borrower’s “PIP Reserve Account”. Borrower shall complete or cause to be completed the PIP Requirements on or before the deadline for each PIP Requirement as set forth on Schedule XIV, as same may be extended by the applicable Franchisor; provided, however, the time for Borrower to complete any of the PIP Requirements shall be extended until such time as Franchisor delivers a default notice to Borrower under the
95
related Franchise Agreement regarding Borrower’s failure to so complete such PIP Requirements and any cure period relating to such notice of default shall have expired.
In addition to the foregoing required deposits, if Borrower has not provided to Lender on or before December 31, 2007 evidence that it has completed and paid for PIP Requirements costing at least $1,269,105.40, then within one (1) Business Day, Borrower shall make an Additional PIP Reserve Deposit equal to the difference between (A) $1,269,105.40 and (B) the cost of PIP Requirements for which Borrower has delivered to Lender evidence of completion and payment. Failure to make such Additional PIP Reserve Deposit shall be an Event of Default.
7.4.2 Disbursements from PIP Reserve Account. Lender shall disburse to Borrower (a) funds from the PIP Reserve Account or (b) amounts drawn on the PIP Reserve LC (as defined below) from time to time upon satisfaction by Borrower of each of the following conditions: (i) Borrower shall submit a written request for payment to Lender at least fifteen (15) days prior to the date on which Borrower requests such payment be made and specifies the PIP Requirements to be paid, (ii) on the date such request is received by Lender and on the date such payment is to be made, no Default or Event of Default shall exist and remain uncured, (iii) Lender shall have received a certificate from Borrower (A) stating that all PIP Requirements at the applicable Individual Property to be funded by the requested disbursement have been completed in good and workmanlike manner and in accordance with all applicable federal, state and local laws, rules and regulations, such certificate to be accompanied by a copy of any license, permit or other approval by any Governmental Authority required to commence and/or complete the PIP Requirements, (B) identifying each Person that supplied materials or labor in connection with the PIP Requirements performed at such Individual Property to be funded by the requested disbursement under a contract in excess of $50,000, and (C) stating that each Person who has supplied materials or labor in connection with the PIP Requirements to be funded by the requested disbursement has been paid in full or will be paid in full upon such disbursement, such certificate to be accompanied by lien waivers or other evidence of payment satisfactory to Lender, (iv) at Lender’s option (exercisable only if the PIP Requirements relate to real property or fixtures, and not just personal property), a title search for such Individual Property indicating that such Individual Property is free from all liens, claims and other encumbrances not previously approved by Lender, and (v) Lender shall have received such other evidence as Lender shall reasonably request that the PIP Requirements at such Individual Property to be funded by the requested disbursement have been completed and are paid for or will be paid upon such disbursement to Borrower. Lender shall not be required to make disbursements from the PIP Reserve Account or amounts drawn on the PIP Reserve LC with respect to an Individual Property more than once each calendar month and such disbursement shall be made only upon satisfaction of each condition contained in this Section 7.4.2.
7.4.3 PIP Guaranty. Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 7.4.1, Borrower shall not be obligated to make the PIP Reserve Deposit, provided (a) the cost to perform the PIP Requirements for the Properties (less any balance in the PIP Reserve Fund) does not at any time exceed $20,000,000, (b) Borrower completes the PIP Requirements within the time frames set forth in the applicable Franchise Agreement, (c) that certain Guaranty Agreement Regarding PIP Requirements, dated as of the Closing Date, from Guarantor in favor of Lender, pursuant to which Guarantor guarantees the payment and performance of the PIP Requirements within the time frames set forth in the Franchise Agreements up to an guaranteed amount of $20,000,000
96
(the “PIP Guaranty”), remains in full force and effect, (d) Guarantor maintains a net worth of at least $500,000,000, and (e) a Cash Management Trigger has not occurred. In the event that the cost to perform the PIP Requirements for the Properties, less any balance in the PIP Reserve Fund, at any time exceeds $20,000,000, Borrower shall promptly deposit the excess amount (the “Excess PIP Deposit”) with Lender, which Excess PIP Deposit shall be held and disbursed by Lender in accordance with Sections 7.4.1 and 7.4.2. In the event that one or more of the conditions sets forth in clauses (b) through (e) of the Section 7.4.3 no longer is satisfied, Borrower shall promptly deposit the cost of any PIP Requirements that remain uncompleted with Lender, which shall be held and disbursed by Lender in accordance with Sections 7.4.1 and 7.4.2.
7.4.4 PIP Letter of Credit. In lieu of depositing the PIP Reserve Deposit or the Excess PIP Deposit with Lender, Borrower may deliver to Lender an irrevocable sight draft, transferable letter of credit in favor of Lender (a) in the amount of the PIP Reserve Deposit or the Excess PIP Deposit, as applicable, (b) issued by an Issuing Bank, (c) with an initial term of at least one (1) year, (d) automatically renewable unless the Issuing Bank provides the Lender with notice of non-renewal at least sixty (60) days prior to expiration thereof, and (e) otherwise in form and substance acceptable to Lender in its sole discretion (the “PIP Reserve LC”). The PIP Reserve LC shall constitute additional security for the Loan. Following an Event of Default, Lender shall have the right, exercisable in its sole discretion, to draw upon the PIP Reserve LC (i) to pay any and all costs associated with such Event of Default or (ii) to apply against Borrower’s obligations under the Note, the Mortgages or the other Loan Documents, in such order and priority as Lender shall determine in its sole discretion.
Section 7.5 Excess Cash Flow Reserve. Following a Cash Sweep Trigger and prior to the occurrence of the related Cash Sweep Termination Event, on each Payment Date all Excess Cash Flow remaining in the Cash Management Account following the required transfers of sums to various sub-accounts pursuant to Section 3.4(a)-(g) of the Cash Management Agreement shall be deposited with Lender to be held by Lender as additional security for the Loan (amounts so deposited shall hereinafter be referred to as the “Excess Cash Flow Reserve Fund” and the account to which such amounts are held shall hereinafter be referred to as the “Excess Cash Flow Reserve Account”). Subject to the terms of this Agreement, sums from the Excess Cash Flow Reserve Fund may be disbursed to Borrower upon payment in full of the Debt. Upon the occurrence of the related Cash Sweep Termination Event following a Cash Sweep Trigger, Lender shall disburse, or cause to be disbursed, all amounts in the Excess Cash Flow Reserve Account to Borrower and Borrower shall no longer be obligated to pay Excess Cash Flow to Lender on each Payment Date.
Section 7.6 Intentionally Omitted.
Section 7.7 Reserve Funds, Generally.
7.7.1 Borrower grants to Lender a first-priority perfected security interest in each of the Reserve Funds and any and all monies now or hereafter deposited in each Reserve Fund as additional security for payment of the Debt. Until expended or applied in accordance herewith, the Reserve Funds shall constitute additional security for the Debt.
97

7.7.4 Intentionally omitted.
7.7.5 Borrower shall not, without obtaining the prior written consent of Lender, further pledge, assign or grant any security interest in any Reserve Fund or the monies deposited therein or permit any lien or encumbrance to attach thereto, or any levy to be made thereon, or any UCC-1 Financing Statements, except those naming Lender as the secured party, to be filed with respect thereto.
7.7.6 Lender shall not be liable for any loss sustained on the investment of any funds constituting the Reserve Funds unless occasioned by the gross negligence or willful misconduct of Lender.

Section 8.2 Remedies.
(a) Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, all or any one or more of the rights, powers, privileges and other remedies available to Lender against Borrower under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents executed and delivered by, or applicable to, Borrower or at law or in equity may be exercised by Lender at any time and from time to time, whether or not all or any of the Debt shall be declared due and payable, and whether or not Lender shall have commenced any foreclosure proceeding or other action for the enforcement of its rights and remedies under any of the Loan Documents with respect to all or any part of any Individual Property. Any such actions taken by Lender shall be cumulative and concurrent and may be pursued independently, singly, successively, together or otherwise, at such time and in such order as Lender may determine in its sole discretion, to the fullest extent permitted by law, without impairing or otherwise affecting the other rights and remedies of Lender permitted by law, equity or contract or as set forth herein or in the other Loan Documents. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Borrower agrees that if an Event of Default is continuing (i) Lender is not subject to any “one action” or “election of remedies” law or rule, and (ii) all liens and other rights, remedies or privileges provided to Lender shall remain in full force and effect until Lender has exhausted all of its remedies against the Properties and each Mortgage has been foreclosed, sold and/or otherwise realized upon in satisfaction of the Debt or the Debt has been paid in full.
(b) With respect to Borrower and the Properties, nothing contained herein or in any other Loan Document shall be construed as requiring Lender to resort to any Individual Property for the satisfaction of any of the Debt in any preference or priority to any other Individual Property, and Lender may seek satisfaction out of all of the Properties, or any part thereof, in its absolute discretion in respect of the Debt. In addition, to the extent permitted by applicable law, Lender shall have the right from time to time to partially foreclose the Mortgages in any manner and for any amounts secured by the Mortgages then due and payable as determined by Lender in its sole discretion including, without limitation, the following circumstances: (i) in the event Borrower defaults beyond any applicable grace period in the payment of one or more scheduled
101
payments of principal and interest, Lender may foreclose one or more of the Mortgages to recover such delinquent payments, or (ii) in the event Lender elects to accelerate less than the entire outstanding principal balance of the Loan, Lender may foreclose one or more of the Mortgages to recover so much of the principal balance of the Loan as Lender may accelerate and such other sums secured by one or more of the Mortgages as Lender may elect. Notwithstanding one or more partial foreclosures, the Properties shall remain subject to the Mortgages to secure payment of sums secured by the Mortgages and not previously recovered.
(c) Lender shall have the right from time to time to sever the Note and the other Loan Documents into one or more separate notes, mortgages and other security documents (the “Severed Loan Documents”) in such denominations as Lender shall determine in its sole discretion for purposes of evidencing and enforcing its rights and remedies provided hereunder. Borrower shall execute and deliver to Lender from time to time, promptly after the request of Lender, a severance agreement and such other documents as Lender shall request in order to effect the severance described in the preceding sentence, all in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Lender. Borrower hereby absolutely and irrevocably appoints Lender following the occurrence of an Event of Default as its true and lawful attorney, coupled with an interest, in its name and stead to make and execute all documents necessary or desirable to effect the aforesaid severance, Borrower ratifying all that its said attorney shall do by virtue thereof; provided, however, Lender shall not make or execute any such documents under such power until three (3) days after notice has been given to Borrower by Lender of Lender’s intent to exercise its rights under such power. Borrower shall not be obligated to pay any costs or expenses incurred in connection with the preparation, execution, recording or filing of the Severed Loan Documents, and the Severed Loan Documents shall not contain any representations, warranties or covenants not contained in the Loan Documents and any such representations and warranties contained in the Severed Loan Documents will be given by Borrower only as of the Closing Date.
(d) As used in this Section 8.2, a “foreclosure” shall include any sale by power of sale.
Section 8.3 Remedies Cumulative; Waivers. The rights, powers and remedies of Lender under this Agreement shall be cumulative and not exclusive of any other right, power or remedy which Lender may have against Borrower pursuant to this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, or existing at law or in equity or otherwise. Lender’s rights, powers and remedies may be pursued singly, concurrently or otherwise, at such time and in such order as Lender may determine in Lender’s sole discretion. No delay or omission to exercise any remedy, right or power accruing upon an Event of Default shall impair any such remedy, right or power or shall be construed as a waiver thereof, but any such remedy, right or power may be exercised from time to time and as often as may be deemed expedient. A waiver of one Default or Event of Default with respect to Borrower shall not be construed to be a waiver of any subsequent Default or Event of Default by Borrower or to impair any remedy, right or power consequent thereon.

. At the request of the holder of the Note and, to the extent not already required to be provided by Borrower under this Agreement, Borrower shall cooperate with Lender to allow Lender to satisfy the market standards to which the holder of the Note customarily adheres or which may be reasonably required in the marketplace or by the Rating Agencies in connection with the sale of the Note or participations therein or securitization (such sale and/or securitization, the “Securitization”) of rated single or multi-class securities (the “Securities”) secured by or evidencing ownership interests in the Note and the Mortgage.

(c) make such representations and warranties as of the closing date of the Securitization with respect to the Properties, Borrower, and the Loan Documents as are consistent with the representations and warranties made in the Loan Documents; and
(d) deliver an Additional Insolvency Opinion, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the holder of the Note and the Rating Agencies, if requested by the holder the Note or the Rating Agencies;
(e) intentionally omitted; and
(f) execute such other amendments to the Loan Documents and organizational documents as may be reasonably requested by the holder of the Note or the Rating Agencies or otherwise to effect the Securitization; provided, however, that Borrower shall not be required to modify or amend any Loan Document if such modification or amendment would (i) change the weighted average interest rate (subject to the qualification stated in Section 9.1.2 below related to changes in the weighted average interest rate following the prepayment of principal or and Event of Default), the stated maturity or the amortization of principal set forth in the Note, or (ii) modify or amend any other material economic term of the Loan;
(g) if requested by Lender, review any information regarding the Property, Borrower, Guarantor, Indemnitor and the Loan which is contained in a preliminary or final private
103
placement memorandum, prospectus, prospectus supplement (including any amendment or supplement to either thereof), or other disclosure document to be used by Lender or any affiliate thereof; and
(h) supply to Lender such documentation, financial statements and reports in form and substance required in order to comply with any applicable securities laws.
9.1.2 Loan Components. Borrower covenants and agrees that in connection with any Securitization of the Loan, upon Lender’s request Borrower shall deliver one or more new component notes to replace any of the original Notes or modify any such original Note to reflect additional components of the Loan or create one or more mezzanine loans (including amending Borrower’s organizational structure to provide for one or more mezzanine borrowers) (each a “Resizing Event”). Lender agrees that such new notes or modified notes or mezzanine notes shall immediately after the Resizing Event have the same initial weighted average coupon as the original note prior to such Resizing Event, notwithstanding that such new notes or modified note or mezzanine notes or may, in connection with the application of principal to such new notes or modified note or mezzanine notes, subsequently cause the weighted average spread of such new notes or modified note or mezzanine notes to change (but not increase, except that the weighted average spread may subsequently increase due to involuntary prepayments or if an Event of Default shall occur) and apply principal, interest rates and amortization of the Loan between such new components and/or mezzanine loans in a manner specified by Lender in its sole discretion such that the pricing and marketability of the Securities and the size of each class of Securities and the rating assigned to each such class by the Rating Agencies shall provide the most favorable rating levels and achieve the optimum bond execution for the Loan. In connection with any Resizing Event, Borrower covenants and agrees to modify the Cash Management Agreement to reflect the newly created components and/or mezzanine loans.
9.1.3 Uncross of Properties. Borrower agrees that at any time Lender shall have the unilateral right to elect to uncross any of the Properties (the “Affected Property”). In furtherance thereof, Lender shall have the right to (i) sever or divide the Note and the other Loan Documents in order to allocate to such Affected Property the portion of the Loan allocable to such Affected Property (the “Allocated Principal Amount”) evidenced by a new note and secured by such other loan documents (collectively, the “New Note”) having a principal amount equal to the Loan Amount applicable to such Affected Property, (ii) segregate the applicable portion of each of the Reserve Funds relating to the Affected Property, (iii) release any cross-default and/or cross-collateralization provisions applicable to such Affected Property and (iv) take such additional action consistent therewith; provided, that such New Note secured by such Affected Property, together with the Loan Documents secured by the remaining Properties, shall not increase in the aggregate (A) any monetary obligation of Borrower under the Loan Documents, or (B) any other obligation of Borrower under the Loan Documents in any material respect. In connection with the transfer of any such Affected Property as provided for in this Section 9.1.3, the Loan shall be reduced by an amount equal to amount of the New Note applicable to such Affected Property and the new loan secured by such Affected Property and evidenced by the New Note shall be in an amount equal to such Allocated Principal Amount. Subsequent to the release of the Affected Property from the lien of the Loan pursuant to this Section 9.1.3, the balances of the components of the Loan shall be the same as they would have been had a prepayment occurred in an amount equal to the Allocated Principal Amount of the
104
Affected Property. At the request of Lender, Borrower shall otherwise cooperate with Lender in its attempt to satisfy all requirements necessary in order for Lender to obtain written confirmation from the Rating Agencies that such transfer of the Affected Property from the Securitization and splitting of the Loan shall not cause a downgrade, withdrawal or qualification of the then current ratings of the Securities or any class thereof, which requirements shall include, without limitation: (A) delivery of evidence that the single purpose nature and bankruptcy remoteness of the Individual Borrowers owning Properties other than the Affected Property following such release have not been adversely affected and are in accordance with the terms and provisions of this Agreement (which evidence may include a “bring-down” of the Insolvency Opinion); and (B) the execution of such documents and instruments and delivery by Lender of such opinions of counsel as are typical for similar transactions, including, an opinion of counsel that the release of the Affected Property will not be a “significant modification” of this Loan within the meaning of Section 1.1001-3 of the regulations of the United States Department of the Treasury and that all other requirements applicable, if any, to a REMIC Trust, have been satisfied or have not otherwise been violated.
All material out-of-pocket third party costs and expenses incurred by Borrower or Lender in connection with complying with requests made under this Section 9.1 shall be paid by Borrower.
Section 9.2 Securitization; Indemnification.
(a) Borrower understands that certain of the Provided Information may be included in disclosure documents in connection with the Securitization, including, without limitation, a prospectus, prospectus supplement or private placement memorandum (each, a “Disclosure Document”) and may also be included in filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), or the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), or provided or made available to investors or prospective investors in the Securities, the Rating Agencies, and service providers relating to the Securitization. In the event that the Disclosure Document is required to be revised prior to the sale of all Securities, Borrower will cooperate with the holder of the Note in updating the Disclosure Document by providing all current information necessary to keep the Disclosure Document accurate in all material respects.
(b) The Indemnifying Persons agree to provide, in connection with the Securitization, an indemnification agreement (A) certifying that (i) the Indemnifying Persons have carefully examined the Disclosure Documents as such Disclosure Documents relate to Borrower, Indemnitor, Guarantor or the Property, including without limitation, the sections entitled “Risk Factors,” “Special Considerations,” “Description of the Mortgages,” “Description of the Mortgage Loans and Mortgaged Properties,” “The Manager,” “The Borrower” and “Certain Legal Aspects of the Mortgage Loan,” and (ii) the factual statements and representations contained in such sections and such other factual information in the Disclosure Documents (to the extent such information relates to or includes any Provided Information or any information regarding the Properties, Borrower, Manager and/or the Loan), in each case, as specifically identified by Lender (collectively with the Provided Information, the “Covered Disclosure Information”) are not false or misleading, (B) jointly and severally indemnifying Lender, Lender, its designee (whether or not it is the Lender), any Affiliate of Lender that has filed any
105
registration statement relating to the Securitization or has acted as the sponsor or depositor in connection with the Securitization, any Affiliate of Lender that acts as an underwriter, placement agent or initial purchaser of Securities issued in the Securitization, any other co underwriters, co placement agents or co initial purchasers of Securities issued in the Securitization, and each of their respective officers, directors, partners, employees, representatives, agents and Affiliates and each Person or entity who Controls any such Person within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act (collectively, the “Indemnified Persons”), for any losses, claims, damages, liabilities, costs or expenses, including without limitation legal fees and expenses, to which any such Indemnified Person becomes subject pursuant to a final judgment (collectively, the “Liabilities”) insofar as the Liabilities arise out of or are based upon any false or misleading statement of any material fact contained in the Covered Disclosure Information and (C) agreeing to reimburse each Indemnified Person for any legal or other expenses incurred by such Indemnified Person in connection with investigating or defending the Liabilities. This indemnity agreement will be in addition to any liability which Borrower may otherwise have. Moreover, the indemnification and reimbursement obligations provided for in clauses (B) and (C) above shall be effective, valid and binding obligations of the Indemnifying Persons, whether or not an indemnification agreement described in clause (A) above is provided. (collectively, the “Liabilities”)
(c) In connection with Exchange Act Filings, the Indemnifying Persons jointly and severally agree to indemnify (i) the Indemnified Persons for Liabilities to which any such Indemnified Person may become subject insofar as the Liabilities arise out of or are based upon any false or misleading statement of any material fact in the Covered Disclosure Information, and (ii) reimburse each Indemnified Person for any legal or other expenses incurred by such Indemnified Persons in connection with defending or investigating the Liabilities.
(d) Promptly after receipt by an Indemnified Person of notice of any claim or the commencement of any action, the Indemnified Person shall, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against any Indemnifying Person, notify such Indemnifying Person in writing of the claim or the commencement of that action; provided, however, that the failure to notify such Indemnifying Person shall not relieve it from any liability which it may have under the indemnification provisions of this Section 9.2 except to the extent that it has been materially prejudiced by such failure and, provided further that the failure to notify such Indemnifying Person shall not relieve it from any liability which it may have to an Indemnified Person otherwise than under the provisions of this Section 9.2. If any such claim or action shall be brought against an Indemnified Person, and it shall notify any Indemnifying Person thereof, such Indemnifying Person shall be entitled to participate therein and, to the extent that it wishes, assume the defense thereof with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Person. After notice from any Indemnifying Person to the Indemnified Person of its election to assume the defense of such claim or action, such Indemnifying Person shall not be liable to the Indemnified Person for any legal or other expenses subsequently incurred by the Indemnified Person in connection with the defense thereof except as provided in the following sentence; provided, however, if the defendants in any such action include both an Indemnifying Person, on the one hand, and one or more Indemnified Persons on the other hand, and an Indemnified Person shall have reasonably concluded that there are any legal defenses available to it and/or other Indemnified Persons that are different or in addition to those available to the Indemnifying Person, the Indemnified Person or Persons shall have the right to select separate counsel to assert
106
such legal defenses and to otherwise participate in the defense of such action on behalf of such Indemnified Person or Persons. The Indemnified Person shall instruct its counsel to maintain reasonably detailed billing records for fees and disbursements for which such Indemnified Person is seeking reimbursement hereunder and shall submit copies of such detailed billing records to substantiate that such counsel’s fees and disbursements are solely related to the defense of a claim for which the Indemnifying Person is required hereunder to indemnify such Indemnified Person. No Indemnifying Person shall be liable for the expenses of more than one (1) such separate counsel unless such Indemnified Person shall have reasonably concluded that there may be legal defenses available to it that are different from or additional to those available to another Indemnified Person.
(e) Without the prior written consent of Lender (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed), no Indemnifying Person shall settle or compromise or consent to the entry of any judgment in any pending or threatened claim, action, suit or proceeding in respect of which indemnification may be sought hereunder (whether or not any Indemnified Person is an actual or potential party to such claim, action, suit or proceeding) unless the Indemnifying Person shall have given Lender reasonable prior written notice thereof and shall have obtained an unconditional release of each Indemnified Person hereunder from all liability arising out of such claim, action, suit or proceedings. As long as an Indemnifying Person has complied with its obligations to defend and indemnify hereunder, such Indemnifying Person shall not be liable for any settlement made by any Indemnified Person without the consent of such Indemnifying Person (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed).
(f) The Indemnifying Persons agree that if any indemnification or reimbursement sought pursuant to this Section 9.2 is finally judicially determined to be unavailable for any reason or is insufficient to hold any Indemnified Person harmless (with respect only to the Liabilities that are the subject of this Section 9.2), then the Indemnifying Persons, on the one hand, and such Indemnified Person, on the other hand, shall contribute to the Liabilities for which such indemnification or reimbursement is held unavailable or is insufficient: (x) in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative benefits to the Indemnifying Persons, on the one hand, and such Indemnified Person, on the other hand, from the transactions to which such indemnification or reimbursement relates; or (y) if the allocation provided by clause (x) above is not permitted by applicable law, in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only the relative benefits referred to in clause (x) but also the relative faults of the Indemnifying Persons, on the one hand, and all Indemnified Persons, on the other hand, as well as any other equitable considerations. Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 9.2, (A) no party found liable for a fraudulent misrepresentation shall be entitled to contribution from any other party who is not also found liable for such fraudulent misrepresentation, and (B) the Indemnifying Persons agree that in no event shall the amount to be contributed by the Indemnified Persons collectively pursuant to this paragraph exceed the amount of the fees actually received by the Indemnified Persons in connection with the closing of the Loan.
(g) The Indemnifying Persons agree that the indemnification, contribution and reimbursement obligations set forth in this Section 9.2 shall apply whether or not any Indemnified Person is a formal party to any lawsuits, claims or other proceedings. The
107
Indemnifying Persons further agree that the Indemnified Persons are intended third party beneficiaries under this Section 9.2.
(h) The liabilities and obligations of the Indemnified Persons and the Indemnifying Persons under this Section 9.2 shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the satisfaction and discharge of the Debt.
(i) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, Borrower shall have no obligation to act as depositor with respect to the Loan or an issuer or registrant with respect to the Securities issued in any Securitization.
Section 9.3 Rating Surveillance. Lender, at its option, may retain the Rating Agencies to provide rating surveillance services on any certificates issued in a Securitization. Such rating surveillance will be at the expense of Lender (the “Rating Surveillance Charge”).
Section 9.4 Exculpation. Subject to the qualifications below, Lender shall not enforce the liability and obligation of Borrower to perform and observe the obligations contained in the Note, this Agreement, the Mortgages or the other Loan Documents by any action or proceeding wherein a money judgment shall be sought against Borrower, except that Lender may bring a foreclosure action, an action for specific performance or any other appropriate action or proceeding to enable Lender to enforce and realize upon its interest under the Note, this Agreement, the Mortgages and the other Loan Documents, or in the Properties, the Rents following an Event of Default, or any other collateral given to Lender pursuant to the Loan Documents; provided, however, that, except as specifically provided herein, any judgment in any such action or proceeding shall be enforceable against Borrower only to the extent of Borrower’s interest in the Properties, in the Rents following an Event of Default and in any other collateral given to Lender, and Lender, by accepting the Note, this Agreement, the Mortgages and the other Loan Documents, agrees that it shall not xxx for, seek or demand any deficiency judgment against Borrower in any such action or proceeding under or by reason of or under or in connection with the Note, this Agreement, the Mortgages or the other Loan Documents. The provisions of this Section shall not, however, (a) constitute a waiver, release or impairment of any obligation evidenced or secured by any of the Loan Documents; (b) impair the right of Lender to name Borrower as a party defendant in any action or suit for foreclosure and sale under any of the Mortgages; (c) affect the validity or enforceability of or any guaranty made in connection with the Loan or any of the rights and remedies of Lender thereunder; (d) impair the right of Lender to obtain the appointment of a receiver; (e) impair the enforcement of any of the Assignments of Leases following an Event of Default; (f) constitute a prohibition against Lender commencing any other appropriate action or proceeding in order for Lender to exercise its remedies against all of the Properties; or (g) constitute a waiver of the right of Lender to enforce the liability and obligation of Borrower, by money judgment or otherwise, to the extent of any loss, damage, cost, expense, liability, claim or other obligation incurred by Lender (including attorneys’ fees and costs reasonably incurred) arising out of or in connection with the following:
(i) fraud or intentional misrepresentation by Borrower or any guarantor in connection with the Loan;
(ii) the gross negligence or willful misconduct of Borrower;
108
(iii) material physical waste of an Individual Property;
(iv) the breach of any representation, warranty, covenant or indemnification provision in any Environmental Indemnity or in any Mortgage concerning environmental laws, hazardous substances and asbestos and any indemnification of Lender with respect thereto in either document;
(v) the removal or disposal of any portion of any Individual Property after an Event of Default;
(vi) the misapplication or conversion by Borrower of (A) any Insurance Proceeds paid by reason of any loss, damage or destruction to the Properties which are not applied by Borrower in accordance with this Agreement, (B) any Awards or other amounts received in connection with a Condemnation of all or a portion of the Properties which are not applied by Borrower in accordance with this Agreement, or (C) any Rents following an Event of Default;
(vii) failure to pay charges for labor or materials or other charges that can create Liens on any portion of any Individual Property;
(viii) any security deposits, advance deposits or any other deposits collected with respect to the Properties which are not delivered to Lender upon a foreclosure of the Properties or action in lieu thereof, except to the extent any such security deposits were applied in accordance with the terms and conditions of any of the Leases prior to the occurrence of the Event of Default that gave rise to such foreclosure or action in lieu thereof;
(ix) any surrender, termination or forfeiture of, or change, modification or amendment of the Ground Lease made without Lender’s consent;
(x) any surrender, termination or forfeiture of, or change, modification or amendment of a Management Agreement made without Lender’s consent (if consent was required pursuant to the terms hereof);
(xi) any surrender, termination or forfeiture of, or change, modification or amendment of a Franchise Agreement made without Lender’s consent (if consent was required pursuant to the terms hereof); or
(xii) Borrower’s failure to comply with the terms of Section 5.1.24 hereof.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the Note or any of the Loan Documents, (A) the Debt shall be fully recourse to the Borrower and (B) Lender shall not be deemed to have waived any right which Lender may have under Section 506(a), 506(b), 1111(b) or any other provisions of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code to file a claim for the full amount of the Debt secured by the Mortgages or to require that all collateral shall continue to secure all of the Debt owing to Lender in accordance with the Loan Documents in the event that the (I) first full monthly payment under the Note is not paid within five (5) days of notice that such payment is late (provided, however, that such grace period relates only to the recourse trigger described in
109
this paragraph), or (II) failure of Borrower to permit on-site inspections of any Individual Property subject to the rights of Tenants and any applicable cure period set forth in the Loan Documents, to provide financial information as required under the Loan Documents subject to any applicable cure period (except for financial information required to be delivered by a tenant pursuant to the applicable Lease that has not been delivered to Borrower, provided Borrower has requested such financial information from such tenant), or (III) failure of Borrower to comply with Section 4.1.31 hereof, or (IV) failure of Borrower to obtain Lender’s prior written consent (to extent such consent is required) to any subordinate financing or other voluntary Lien encumbering the Properties, or (V) failure of Borrower to obtain Lender’s prior written consent to any assignment, transfer or conveyance of any of the Properties, or any portion thereof, or any interest therein as required by this Agreement. Notwithstanding the provision set forth in clause (IV) of this paragraph, a voluntary lien other than a lien securing an extension of credit filed against any of the Properties shall not constitute a recourse trigger for purposes of this paragraph provided such lien (A) is fully bonded to the satisfaction of Lender and discharged of record within ninety (90) days of filing, or (B) within such ninety (90) day period, Lender receives affirmative title insurance from the title insurance company insuring the lien of the applicable Mortgage that such lien is subject and subordinate to the lien of the Mortgage and no enforcement action is commenced by the applicable lien holder. Upon the acceptance by Lender of any cure by Borrower of a recourse trigger described in clauses (I), (II) or (IV) above, the Debt shall no longer be fully recourse to Borrower solely as a result of such trigger. Upon the acceptance by Lender of any cure by Borrower of a recourse trigger described in clauses (III) or (V) above, the Debt shall no longer be fully recourse to Borrower solely as a result of such trigger, provided, however, Borrower shall remain liable to the extent of any loss, damage, cost, expense, liability, claim or other obligation incurred by Lender (including attorneys’ fees and costs reasonably incurred) arising out of or in connection with such trigger.
Section 9.5 Termination of Manager
. If a Manager is in default under the terms of its Management Agreement beyond any applicable grace or cure period, then Borrower shall, at the request of Lender, terminate such Management Agreement pursuant to its terms and replace the Manager with a Qualified Manager pursuant to a Replacement Management Agreement, it being understood and agreed that the management fee for such Qualified Manager shall not exceed then prevailing market rates. In addition and without limiting the rights of Lender hereunder or under any of the other Loan Documents, in the event that (i) the Management Agreement is terminated, (ii) the Manager no longer manages the applicable Individual Property, or (iii) a receiver, liquidator or trustee shall be appointed for Manager or if Manager shall be adjudicated a bankrupt or insolvent, or if any petition for bankruptcy, reorganization or arrangement pursuant to federal bankruptcy law, or any similar federal or state law, shall be filed by or against, consented to, or acquiesced in by, Manager, or if any proceeding for the dissolution or liquidation of Manager shall be instituted, then Borrower (at Borrower’s sole cost and expense) shall immediately, in its name, establish new deposit accounts separate from any other Person with a depository satisfactory to Lender into which all Rents and other income from the Individual Property shall be deposited and shall grant Lender a first priority security interest in such account pursuant to documentation satisfactory in form and substance to Lender.
Section 9.6 Servicer
110

At the option of Lender, the Loan may be serviced by a servicer/trustee (the “Servicer”) selected by Lender and Lender may delegate all or any portion of its responsibilities under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents to the Servicer pursuant to a servicing agreement (the “Servicing Agreement”) between Lender and Servicer. Lender shall be responsible for any set-up fees or any other costs relating to or arising under the Servicing Agreement.
Section 9.7 Matters Concerning Franchisor

Section 9.8 Splitting the Loan
. At the election of Lender in its sole discretion, the Loan or any individual Note making up the Loan shall be split and severed into two or more loans which, at Lender’s election, shall not be cross-collateralized or cross-defaulted with each other. Borrower hereby agrees to deliver to Lender to effectuate such severing of the Loan or any individual Note, as the case may be, as reasonably requested by Lender, (a) additional executed documents, or amendments and modifications to the applicable Loan Documents, (b) new opinions or updates to the opinions delivered to Lender in connection with the closing of the Loan, (c) endorsements and/or updates to the title insurance policies delivered to Lender in connection with the closing of the Loan, and (d) any other certificates, instruments and documentation reasonably determined by Lender as necessary or appropriate to such severance (the items described in subsections (a) through (d) collectively hereinafter shall be referred to as “Severing Documentation”), which Severing Documentation shall be acceptable to Lender in form and substance in its reasonable discretion. Borrower hereby acknowledges and agrees that upon such severing of the Loan, Lender may effect, in its sole discretion, one or more Securitizations of which the severed loans may be a part.

Section 10.8 Headings
. The Article and/or Section headings and the Table of Contents in this Agreement are included herein for convenience of reference only and shall not constitute a part of this Agreement for any other purpose.
Section 10.9 Severability
. Wherever possible, each provision of this Agreement shall be interpreted in such manner as to be effective and valid under applicable law, but if any provision of this Agreement shall be prohibited by or invalid under applicable law, such provision shall be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or invalidity, without invalidating the remainder of such provision or the remaining provisions of this Agreement.
Section 10.10 Preferences
. Lender shall have the continuing and exclusive right to apply or reverse and reapply any and all payments by Borrower to any portion of the obligations of Borrower hereunder. To
115
the extent Borrower makes a payment or payments to Lender, which payment or proceeds or any part thereof are subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside or required to be repaid to a trustee, receiver or any other party under any bankruptcy law, state or federal law, common law or equitable cause, then, to the extent of such payment or proceeds received, the obligations hereunder or part thereof intended to be satisfied shall be revived and continue in full force and effect, as if such payment or proceeds had not been received by Lender.
Section 10.11 Waiver of Notice
. Borrower shall not be entitled to any notices of any nature whatsoever from Lender except with respect to matters for which this Agreement or the other Loan Documents specifically and expressly provide for the giving of notice by Lender to Borrower and except with respect to matters for which Borrower is not, pursuant to applicable Legal Requirements, permitted to waive the giving of notice. Borrower hereby expressly waives the right to receive any notice from Lender with respect to any matter for which this Agreement or the other Loan Documents do not specifically and expressly provide for the giving of notice by Lender to Borrower.
Section 10.12 Remedies of Borrower
. In the event that a claim or adjudication is made that Lender or its agents have acted unreasonably or unreasonably delayed acting in any case where by law or under this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, Lender or such agent, as the case may be, has an obligation to act reasonably or promptly, Borrower agrees that neither Lender nor its agents shall be liable for any monetary damages, and Borrower’s sole remedies shall be limited to commencing an action seeking injunctive relief or declaratory judgment. The parties hereto agree that any action or proceeding to determine whether Lender has acted reasonably shall be determined by an action seeking declaratory judgment.
Section 10.13 Expenses; Indemnity.
(a) Borrower covenants and agrees to pay or, if Borrower fails to pay, to reimburse, Lender upon receipt of written notice from Lender for all reasonable costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements) incurred by Lender in connection with (i) the preparation, negotiation, execution and delivery of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby and all the costs of furnishing all opinions by counsel for Borrower (including without limitation any opinions requested by Lender as to any legal matters arising under this Agreement or the other Loan Documents with respect to the Properties); (ii) Borrower’s ongoing performance of and compliance with Borrower’s respective agreements and covenants contained in this Agreement and the other Loan Documents on its part to be performed or complied with after the Closing Date, including, without limitation, confirming compliance with environmental and insurance requirements; (iii) Lender’s ongoing performance and compliance with all agreements and conditions contained in this Agreement and the other Loan Documents on its part to be performed or complied with after the Closing Date (except for those costs and expenses expressly assumed herein or in the other Loan Documents by Lender); (iv) except as otherwise
116
provided in this Agreement, the negotiation, preparation, execution, delivery and administration of any consents, amendments, waivers or other modifications to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and any other documents or matters reasonably requested by Lender; (v) securing Borrower’s compliance with any requests made pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement; (vi) the filing and recording fees and expenses, title insurance and reasonable fees and expenses of counsel for providing to Lender all required legal opinions, and other similar expenses incurred in creating and perfecting the Liens in favor of Lender pursuant to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents; (vii) enforcing or preserving any rights, in response to third party claims or the prosecuting or defending of any action or proceeding or other litigation, in each case against, under or affecting Borrower, this Agreement, the other Loan Documents, the Properties, or any other security given for the Loan; and (viii) enforcing any obligations of or collecting any payments due from Borrower under this Agreement, the other Loan Documents or with respect to the Properties or in connection with any refinancing or restructuring of the credit arrangements provided under this Agreement in the nature of a “work-out” or of any insolvency or bankruptcy proceedings; provided, however, that Borrower shall not be liable for the payment of any such costs and expenses to the extent the same arise by reason of the gross negligence, illegal acts, fraud or willful misconduct of Lender.
(b) Borrower shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless Lender from and against any and all other liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, claims, costs, expenses and disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever (including, without limitation, the reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel for Lender in connection with any investigative, administrative or judicial proceeding commenced or threatened, whether or not Lender shall be designated a party thereto), that may be imposed on, incurred by, or asserted against Lender in any manner relating to or arising out of (i) any breach by Borrower of its obligations under, or any material misrepresentation by Borrower contained in, this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, or (ii) the use or intended use of the proceeds of the Loan (collectively, the “Indemnified Liabilities”); provided, however, that Borrower shall not have any obligation to Lender hereunder to the extent that such Indemnified Liabilities arise from the gross negligence, illegal acts, fraud or willful misconduct of Lender. To the extent that the undertaking to indemnify, defend and hold harmless set forth in the preceding sentence may be unenforceable because it violates any law or public policy, Borrower shall pay the maximum portion that it is permitted to pay and satisfy under applicable law to the payment and satisfaction of all Indemnified Liabilities incurred by Lender.
Section 10.14 Section 10.14 Schedules Incorporated
. The Schedules annexed hereto are hereby incorporated herein as a part of this Agreement with the same effect as if set forth in the body hereof.
Section 10.15 Section 10.15 Offsets, Counterclaims and Defenses
. Any assignee of Lender’s interest in and to this Agreement, the Note and the other Loan Documents shall take the same free and clear of all offsets, counterclaims or defenses which are unrelated to such documents which Borrower may otherwise have against any assignor of such documents, and no such unrelated counterclaim or defense shall be interposed or asserted by Borrower in any action or proceeding brought by any such assignee upon such documents and
117
any such right to interpose or assert any such unrelated offset, counterclaim or defense in any such action or proceeding is hereby expressly waived by Borrower.
Section 10.16 No Joint Venture or Partnership; No Third Party Beneficiaries.
Borrower and Lender intend that the relationships created hereunder and under the other Loan Documents be solely that of borrower and lender. Nothing herein or therein is intended to create a joint venture, partnership, tenancy-in-common, or joint tenancy relationship between Borrower and Lender nor to grant Lender any interest in the Properties other than that of mortgagee, beneficiary or lender.
(a) This Agreement and the other Loan Documents are solely for the benefit of Lender and Borrower and nothing contained in this Agreement or the other Loan Documents shall be deemed to confer upon anyone other than Lender 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 Lender to make the Loan hereunder are imposed solely and exclusively for the benefit of Lender and no other Person shall have standing to require satisfaction of such conditions in accordance with their terms or be entitled to assume that Lender will refuse to make the Loan in the absence of strict compliance with any or all thereof and no other Person shall under any circumstances be deemed to be a beneficiary of such conditions, any or all of which may be freely waived in whole or in part by Lender if, in Lender’s sole discretion, Lender deems it advisable or desirable to do so.
Section 10.17 Publicity
. All news releases, publicity or advertising by Borrower 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, to Lender, its designee, or any of their Affiliates shall be subject to the prior written approval of Lender. All news releases, publicity or advertising by Lender through any media intended to reach the general public which refers solely to the Borrower or to the Loan made by the Lender to the Borrower shall be subject to the prior written approval of Borrower, provided however, the foregoing shall not apply to Provided Information included in disclosure documents in connection with a Securitization.
Section 10.18 Cross-Default; Cross-Collateralization; Waiver of Marshalling of Assets. Borrower acknowledges that Lender has made the Loan to Borrower upon the security of its collective interest in the Properties and in reliance upon the aggregate of the Properties taken together being of greater value as collateral security than the sum of each Individual Property taken separately. Borrower agrees that the Mortgages are and will be cross-collateralized and cross-defaulted with each other so that (i) an Event of Default under any of the Mortgages shall constitute an Event of Default under each of the other Mortgages which secure the Note; (ii) an Event of Default under the Note or this Agreement shall constitute an Event of Default under each Mortgage; (iii) each Mortgage shall constitute security for the Note as if a single blanket lien were placed on all of the Properties as security for the Note; and (iv) such cross-collateralization shall in no event be deemed to constitute a fraudulent conveyance.. To the fullest extent permitted by law, Borrower, for itself and its successors and assigns, waives all rights to a marshalling of the assets of Borrower, Borrower’s partners and others with interests in
118
Borrower, and of the Properties, or to a sale in inverse order of alienation in the event of foreclosure of all or any of the Properties by power of sale, Mortgages and agrees not to assert any right under any laws pertaining to the marshalling of assets, the sale in inverse order of alienation, homestead exemption, the administration of estates of decedents, or any other matters whatsoever to defeat, reduce or affect the right of Lender under the Loan Documents to a sale of the Properties for the collection of the Debt without any prior or different resort for collection or of the right of Lender to the payment of the Debt out of the net proceeds of the Properties in preference to every other claimant whatsoever. In addition, Borrower, for itself and its successors and assigns, waives in the event of foreclosure of any or all of the Mortgages, any equitable right otherwise available to Borrower which would require the separate sale of the Properties or require Lender to exhaust its remedies against any Individual Property or any combination of the Properties before proceeding against any other Individual Property or combination of Properties; and further in the event of such foreclosure Borrower does hereby expressly consents to and authorizes, at the option of Lender, the foreclosure and sale either separately or together of any combination of the Properties.
Section 10.19 Waiver of Counterclaim. Borrower hereby waives the right to assert a counterclaim, other than a compulsory counterclaim, in any action or proceeding brought against it by Lender or its agents.
Section 10.20 Conflict; Construction of Documents; Reliance. In the event of any conflict between the provisions of this Agreement and any of the other Loan Documents, the provisions of this Agreement shall control. The parties hereto acknowledge that they were represented by competent counsel in connection with the negotiation, drafting and execution of the Loan Documents and that such Loan Documents shall not be subject to the principle of construing their meaning against the party which drafted same. Borrower acknowledges that, with respect to the Loan, Borrower shall rely solely on its own judgment and advisors in entering into the Loan without relying in any manner on any statements, representations or recommendations of Lender or any parent, subsidiary or Affiliate of Lender. Lender shall not be subject to any limitation whatsoever in the exercise of any rights or remedies available to it under any of the Loan Documents or any other agreements or instruments which govern the Loan by virtue of the ownership by it or any parent, subsidiary or Affiliate of Lender of any equity interest any of them may acquire in Borrower, and Borrower hereby irrevocably waives the right to raise any defense or take any action on the basis of the foregoing with respect to Lender’s exercise of any such rights or remedies. Borrower acknowledges that Lender engages in the business of real estate financings and other real estate transactions and investments which may be viewed as adverse to or competitive with the business of Borrower or its Affiliates.
Section 10.21 Brokers and Financial Advisors. Borrower hereby represents that it has dealt with no financial advisors, brokers, underwriters, placement agents, agents or finders in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement other than Inland Mortgage Corp. Borrower hereby agrees to indemnify, defend and hold Lender harmless from and against any and all claims, liabilities, costs and expenses of any kind (including Lender’s reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses) in any way relating to or arising from a claim by any Person that such Person acted on behalf of Borrower or Lender in connection with the transactions contemplated herein. The provisions of this Section 10.21 shall survive the expiration and termination of this Agreement and the payment of the Debt.
119
Section 10.22 Prior Agreements. This Agreement and the other Loan Documents contain the entire agreement of the parties hereto and thereto in respect of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby, and all prior agreements or understandings among or between such parties, whether oral or written, are superseded by the terms of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and unless specifically set forth in a writing contemporaneous herewith the terms, conditions and provisions of such prior agreement do not survive execution of this Agreement.
Section 10.23 Transfer of Loan. In the event that Lender transfers the Loan, Borrower shall continue to make payments at the place set forth in the Note until such time that Borrower is notified in writing by Lender that payments are to be made at another place.
Section 10.24 Joint and Several Liability. The parties hereto acknowledge that the defined term “Borrower” (as well as the defined term defining each other Collective Group) has been defined to collectively include each Individual Borrower (and in the case of each Collective Group, defined to collectively include each member of the same). It is the intent of the parties hereto in determining whether (a) a breach of a representation or a covenant has occurred, (b) there has occurred a Default or Event of Default, or (c) an event has occurred which would create recourse obligations under Section 9.4 of this Agreement, that any such breach, occurrence or event with respect to any Individual Borrower (or with respect to any single member of a Collective Group) shall be deemed to be such a breach, occurrence or event with respect to all Individual Borrowers (and in the case of each Collective Group, each member of the same) and that all Individual Borrowers need not have been involved with such breach, occurrence or event in order for the same to be deemed such a breach, occurrence or event with respect to every Individual Borrower (and likewise that each member of a Collective Group need not have been involved with such breach, occurrence or event in order for the same to be deemed such a breach, occurrence or event with respect to such Collective Group). The term “Collective Group” as used in this Agreement shall refer to each of the groups of entities represented in this Agreement by the following defined terms: Borrower and Guarantor. The obligations and liabilities of each Individual Borrower shall be joint and several.
Section 10.25 Lender’s Right to Unwind Cross-Collateralization/Cross-Default. Lender shall have the right, at any time and from time to time, to release any Individual Property or Individual Borrower from the cross-defaulting and the cross-collateralization secured by the lien of the applicable Mortgage. Borrower shall cooperate with Lender in executing all documents as may be required in connection therewith. Borrower shall properly deliver or cause to be delivered to Lender or its designee any replacement or substitute loan agreements, promissory notes, security instruments and other loan documents, title, hazard and liability insurance policies, opinions of counsel and other documents and instruments as Lender may reasonably request in order to effectuate the foregoing. Borrower shall have no obligation to reimburse Lender for any of Lender’s costs and expenses (including, but not limited to, reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses) in connection with the foregoing. Borrower shall have no obligation to reimburse Lender for any of Lender’s costs and expenses (including, but not limited to, reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses) in connection with the foregoing.
Section 10.26 Reallocation of Allocated Principal Amounts. Lender, without in any way limiting Lender’s other rights hereunder, in its sole and absolute discretion, shall have the
120
right at any time prior to Securitization to reallocate the Allocated Principal Amounts and/or the Release Principal Payments, provided that (i) the aggregate principal amount of the Loan immediately following such reallocation shall equal the outstanding principal balance of the Loan immediately prior to such reallocation, and (ii) the weighted average interest rate of the Loan immediately following such reallocation shall equal the weighted average interest rate which was applicable to the Loan immediately prior to such reallocation, notwithstanding that the application of principal to the Loan may subsequently cause the weighted average spread of the Loan to change (but not increase, except that the weighted average spread may subsequently increase due to involuntary prepayments (including any involuntary prepayment due to a Casualty or Condemnation) or if an Event of Default shall occur). At Borrower’s sole cost and expense (including, without limitation, Lender’s attorneys fees and costs), Borrower shall cooperate with all reasonable requests of Lender in order to reallocate the amount of the Loan and shall execute and deliver such documents as shall reasonably be required by Lender and the Rating Agencies in connection therewith, all in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Lender and the Rating Agencies. In the event Borrower fails to execute and deliver such documents to Lender within five (5) Business Days following such request by Lender, Borrower hereby absolutely and irrevocably appoints Lender as its true and lawful attorney, coupled with an interest, in its name and stead to make and execute all documents necessary or desirable to effect such transactions, Borrower ratifying all that such attorney shall do by virtue thereof. Borrower shall pay all costs and expenses in connection with the reallocation of the Loan and all requirements relating thereto. It shall be an Event of Default under this Agreement, the Note, the Mortgages and the other Loan Documents if Borrower fails to comply with any of the terms, covenants or conditions of this Section 10.26 after expiration of ten (10) Business Days after notice thereof.
Section 10.27 Co-Lenders.
(a) Each Individual Borrower hereby acknowledges and agrees that notwithstanding the fact that the Loan may be serviced by Servicer, prior to a Securitization of the Loan, all requests for approval and consents hereunder and in every instance in which Lender’s consent or approval is required, each Individual Borrower shall be required to obtain the consent and approval of each Co-Lender and all copies of documents, reports, requests and other delivery obligations of Borrower required hereunder shall be delivered by Borrower to each Co-Lender.
(b) Following the Closing Date (i) the liabilities of Lender shall be several and not joint, (ii) neither Co-Lender shall be responsible for the obligations of the other Co-Lender, and (iii) each Co-Lender shall be liable to Borrower only for their respective Ratable Share of the Loan. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, all indemnities by Borrower and obligations for costs, expenses, damages or advances set forth herein shall run to and benefit each Co-Lender in accordance with its Ratable Share.
(c) Each Co-Lender agrees that it has, independently and without reliance on the other Co-Lender, and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own credit analysis of Borrower and their Affiliates and decision to enter into this Agreement and that it will, independently and without reliance upon the other Co-Lender, and based on such documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to
121
make its own analysis and decisions in taking or not taking action under this Agreement or under any other Loan Document.
Section 10.28 MERS. Mortgage Electronic Registration Systems, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“MERS”), serves as mortgagee of record and secured party solely as nominee, in an administrative capacity, for Lender and only holds legal title to the interests granted, assigned, and transferred in the Mortgages and the Assignments of Leases. MERS shall at all times comply with the instructions of Lender. If necessary to comply with law or custom, MERS (for the benefit of Lender) may be directed by Lender to exercise any or all of those interests, including without limitation, the right to foreclose and sell the applicable Individual Property, and take any action required of Lender, including without limitation, a release, discharge or reconveyance of the applicable Mortgage. Subject to the foregoing, all references in the Loan Documents to “Mortgagee” shall include Lender and its successors and assigns. The relationship of Borrower and Lender under the Mortgages and the other Loan Documents is, and shall at all times remain, solely that of borrower and lender (the role of MERS thereunder being solely that of nominee as set forth above and not that of a lender); and Mortgagee neither undertakes nor assumes any responsibility or duty to Borrower or to any other Person with respect to any Individual Property.
