The principal amount of each Note shall be determined by the applicable holder in its sole discretion, provided that the initial sum of the principal amounts of the replacement Notes shall equal the then-outstanding principal balance of the Notes that are so replaced. The Interest Rate of each replacement Note shall be determined by the applicable holder in its sole discretion, provided that the initial weighted average of such Interest Rates, weighted on the basis of the principal balances of the respective Notes, shall initially equal the Interest Rate of the Note so replaced. Neither Borrowerβs nor Sponsorβs obligations shall be increased or their respective rights reduced in connection with the creation of Note Components or the replacement of any Notes pursuant to this Section 1.1(c). Borrower shall execute and return to Lender each such Note within two Business Days after Borrowerβs receipt of an execution copy thereof, and Borrowerβs failure to do so within such time period
shall, at Lenderβs election, constitute an immediate Event of Default hereunder. Borrower hereby authorizes and appoints Lender as its attorney-in-fact to execute any replacement Notes required pursuant to this Section on Borrowerβs behalf should Borrower fail to do so. The foregoing grant of authority is a power of attorney coupled with an interest and such appointment shall be irrevocable for the term of this Agreement. Borrower hereby ratifies all actions that such attorney shall lawfully take or cause to be taken in accordance with this Section 1.1(c). If requested by Lender, Borrower shall deliver to Lender, together with such replacement Notes, an opinion of counsel with respect to the due authorization and enforceability of such replacement Notes and confirming that the delivery of such replacement Notes does not alter the conclusions reached in the legal opinions delivered to Lender at Closing.
(d)Β Β Β Β To secure the full and timely payment of the Indebtedness, Borrower hereby grants to Lender, its heirs, successors and assigns, a first-priority Lien on all Collateral, wherever located, now or hereafter owned from time to time by Borrower, including, without limitation, all βgoods,β βconsumer goods,β βequipment,β βinventory,β βfixtures,β βfarm products,β βaccounts,β βdeposit accounts,β βchattel paper,β βgeneral intangibles,β βsoftware,β βinstrumentsβ and βproceedsβ of any of the foregoing (all as defined under the Uniform Commercial Code as in effect from time to time in the State of New York). Borrower hereby authorizes Lender to file any appropriate financing statements with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware or any other applicable jurisdiction, which financing statements may include a description of the collateral covered thereby as "all assets" or "all personal property" of the Borrower.
Section 1.2.Β Β Β Β Interest and Principal.
(a)Β Β Β Β On each Payment Date, Borrower shall pay to Lender the Monthly Debt Service Payment Amount by remitting such amount to the Cash Management Account or such other account as Lender shall direct, which amount shall be applied toward the payment of interest on each Note for the applicable Interest Accrual Period at the applicable Interest Rate (except that in each case, interest shall be payable on the Indebtedness, including due but unpaid interest, at the Default Rate with respect to any portion of such Interest Accrual Period falling during the continuance of an Event of Default, in which case the monthly payment shall be increased by the amount of Default Interest accrued on the Notes during the applicable Interest Accrual Period). Notwithstanding the foregoing, on the Closing Date, Borrower shall pay interest from and including the Closing Date through the end of the first Interest Accrual Period in lieu of making such payment on the first Payment Date following the Closing Date (unless the Closing Date falls on a Payment Date, in which case, no interest will be collected on the Closing Date, and Borrower shall make the payment required pursuant to this Section commencing on the first Payment Date following the Closing Date).
(b)Β Β Β Β No prepayments of the Loan shall be permitted except for (i) prepayments resulting from Casualty or Condemnation as described in SectionΒ 5.16(f), (ii) a prepayment of the Loan in whole (but not in part) during the Prepayment Period on not less than 15 days prior written notice and/or (iii) a prepayment in connection with the release of the Xxxxxxxx Property pursuant to Section 2.4; provided that any prepayment hereunder shall be accompanied by all
interest accrued on the amount prepaid, plus the amount of interest that would have accrued thereon if the Loan had remained outstanding through the end of the Interest Accrual Period in which such prepayment occurs, plus all other amounts then due under the Loan Documents. Borrowerβs notice of prepayment shall create an obligation of Borrower to prepay the Loan as set forth therein, but may be rescinded with five daysβ prior written notice to Lender (subject to payment of any out-of-pocket costs and expenses resulting from such rescission). In addition, Defeasance shall be permitted after the expiration of the Lockout Period as described in SectionΒ 2.1. The entire outstanding principal balance of the Loan, together with interest through the end of the applicable Interest Accrual Period and all other amounts then due under the Loan Documents, shall be due and payable by Borrower to Lender on the Maturity Date.
(c)Β Β Β Β If all or any portion of the Principal Indebtedness is paid to Lender following acceleration of the Loan or as a result of a Casualty or Condemnation, Borrower shall pay to Lender an amount equal to the applicable Yield Maintenance Premium. Amounts received in respect of the Indebtedness during the continuance of an Event of Default shall be applied toward interest, principal and other components of the Indebtedness (in such order as Lender shall determine) before any such amounts are applied toward payment of Yield Maintenance Premiums, with the result that Yield Maintenance Premiums shall accrue as the Principal Indebtedness is repaid but no amount received from Borrower shall constitute payment of a Yield Maintenance Premium until the remainder of the Indebtedness shall have been paid in full. Borrower acknowledges that (i) a prepayment will cause damage to Lender; (ii) the Yield Maintenance Premium is intended to compensate Lender for the loss of its investment and the expense incurred and time and effort associated with making the Loan, which will not be fully repaid if the Loan is prepaid; (iii) it will be extremely difficult and impractical to ascertain the extent of Lenderβs damages caused by a prepayment after an acceleration or any other prepayment not permitted by the Loan Documents; and (iv) the Yield Maintenance Premium represents Lenderβs and Borrowerβs reasonable estimate of Lenderβs damages from the prepayment and is not a penalty.
(d)Β Β Β Β Any payments of interest and/or principal not paid when due hereunder shall bear interest at the applicable Default Rate and, in the case of all payments due hereunder other than the repayment of the Principal Indebtedness on the Maturity Date or on any other earlier date as a result of an acceleration of the Loan, when paid, shall be accompanied by a late fee in an amount equal to the lesser of three percent of such unpaid sum and the maximum amount permitted by applicable law in order to defray a portion of the expense incurred by Lender in handling and processing such delinquent payment and to compensate Lender for the loss of the use of such delinquent payment.
Section 1.3.Β Β Β Β Method and Place of Payment. Except as otherwise specifically provided in this Agreement, all payments and prepayments under this Agreement and the Notes (including any deposit into the Cash Management Account pursuant to Section 3.2(c)) shall be made to Lender not later than 1:00 p.m., New York City time, on the date when due (except in the case of the payment made on the Maturity Date, which shall be made not later than 2:00 p.m., New York City time) and shall be made in lawful money of the United States of America by wire transfer in federal or other immediately available funds to the account specified from time to
time by Lender. Any funds received by Lender after such time shall be deemed to have been paid on the next succeeding Business Day. Lender shall notify Borrower in writing of any changes in the account to which payments are to be made. If the amount received from Borrower (or from the Cash Management Account pursuant to Section 3.2(b)) is less than the sum of all amounts then due and payable hereunder, such amount shall be applied, at Lenderβs sole discretion, either toward the components of the Indebtedness (e.g., interest, principal and other amounts payable hereunder) and the Notes and Note Components, in such sequence as Lender shall elect in its sole discretion, or toward the payment of Property expenses.
Section 1.4.Β Β Β Β Taxes; Regulatory Change.
(a)Β Β Β Β Borrower agrees to indemnify Lender against any present or future stamp, documentary or other similar or related taxes or other similar or related charges now or hereafter imposed, levied, collected, withheld or assessed by any United States Governmental Authority by reason of the execution and delivery of the Loan Documents and any consents, waivers, amendments and enforcement of rights under the Loan Documents.
(b)Β Β Β Β If Borrower is required by law to withhold or deduct any amount from any payment hereunder in respect of any U.S. Tax, Borrower shall withhold or deduct the appropriate amount, remit such amount to the appropriate Governmental Authority and pay to each Person to whom there has been an Assignment or Participation of a Loan and who is not a U.S. Person such additional amounts as are necessary in order that the net payment of any amount due to such non-U.S. Person hereunder after deduction for or withholding in respect of any U.S. Tax imposed with respect to such payment (or in lieu thereof, payment of such U.S. Tax by such non-U.S. Person), will not be less than the amount stated in this Agreement to be then due and payable; except that the foregoing obligation to pay such additional amounts shall not apply (i) to any assignee that has not complied with the obligations contained in Section 9.7(c), (ii) to any U.S. Taxes imposed solely by reason of the failure by such Person (or, if such Person is not the beneficial owner of the relevant Loan, such beneficial owner) to comply with applicable certification, information, documentation or other reporting requirements concerning the nationality, residence, identity or connections with the United States of America of such Person (or beneficial owner, as the case may be) if such compliance is required by statute or regulation of the United States of America as a precondition to relief or exemption from such U.S. Taxes; or (iii) with respect to any Person who is a fiduciary or partnership or other than the sole beneficial owner of such payment, to any U.S. Tax imposed with respect to payments made under any Note to a fiduciary or partnership to the extent that the beneficial owner or member of the partnership would not have been entitled to the additional amounts if such beneficial owner or member of the partnership had been the holder of the Note.
(c)Β Β Β Β Within 30 days after paying any amount from which it is required by law to make any deduction or withholding, and within 30 days after it is required by law to remit such deduction or withholding to any relevant taxing or other authority, Borrower shall deliver to such non-U.S. Person satisfactory evidence of such deduction, withholding or payment (as the case may be).
(d)Β Β Β Β If, as a result of any Regulatory Change, any reserve, special deposit or similar requirements relating to any extensions of credit or other assets of, or any deposits with, Lender or any holder of all or a portion of the Loan is imposed, modified or deemed applicable and the result is to increase the cost to such Lender or such holder of making or holding the Loan, or to reduce the amount receivable by Lender or such holder hereunder in respect of any portion of the Loan by an amount deemed by Lender or such holder to be material (such increases in cost and reductions in amounts receivable, βIncreased Costsβ), then Borrower agrees that it will pay to Lender or such holder upon Lenderβs or such holderβs request such additional amount or amounts as will compensate Lender and/or such holder for such Increased Costs to the extent that such Increased Costs are reasonably allocable to the Loan. Lender will notify Borrower in writing of any event occurring after the Closing Date that will entitle Lender or any holder of the Loan to compensation pursuant to this SectionΒ 1.4(d) as promptly as practicable after it obtains knowledge thereof and determines to request such compensation and will designate a different lending office if such designation will avoid the need for, or reduce the amount of, such compensation and will not, in the reasonable judgment of such Lender, be otherwise disadvantageous to such Lender. If such Lender shall fail to notify Borrower of any such event within 90 days following the end of the month during which such event occurred, then Borrowerβs liability for any amounts described in this Section incurred by such Lender as a result of such event shall be limited to those attributable to the period occurring subsequent to the 90th day prior to the date upon which such Lender actually notified Borrower of the occurrence of such event. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event shall Borrower be required to compensate Lender or any holder of the Loan for any portion of the income or franchise taxes of Lender or such holder, whether or not attributable to payments made by Borrower. If Lender requests compensation under this SectionΒ 1.4(d), Borrower may, by notice to Lender, require that such Lender furnish to Borrower a statement setting forth in reasonable detail the basis for requesting such compensation and the method for determining the amount thereof.
Section 1.5.Β Β Β Β Release. Upon payment of the Indebtedness in full when permitted or required hereunder, Lender shall execute instruments prepared by Borrower and reasonably satisfactory to Lender, which, at Borrowerβs election and at Borrowerβs sole cost and expense: either (a) release and discharge all Liens on all Collateral securing payment of the Indebtedness (subject to Borrowerβs obligation to pay any associated fees and expenses), including all balances in the Collateral Accounts; or (b) assign such Liens (and the Loan Documents) to a new lender designated by Borrower. Any release or assignment provided by Lender pursuant to this Section 1.5 shall be without recourse, representation or warranty of any kind.

DEFEASANCE AND ASSUMPTION
Section 2.1.Β Β Β Β Defeasance.
(e)Β Β Β Β On any date after the expiration of the Lockout Period, provided no Event of Default is then continuing and subject to the notice requirement described in Section 2.1(d), Borrower may from time to time obtain the release of one or more of the Properties from the
Liens of the Loan Documents by Defeasing either the entire Loan, or a portion of the Loan equal to the lesser of (x) the sum of the Release Prices of the Properties so released and (y) the portion of the Principal Indebtedness that has not been Defeased as of the date of such release, provided that after giving effect thereto, unless the Loan is Defeased in full, the Debt Yield for the Test Period then most recently ended, recalculated to include only income and expense attributable to the Properties remaining after the contemplated release and to exclude the interest expense on the aggregate amount Defeased, shall be no less than the Debt Yield Threshold; and provided further that all sums then due to Lender under the Loan Documents are paid and the following are delivered to Lender:
(i)Β Β Β Β Defeasance Collateral sufficient to provide payments on or prior to, and in any event as close as possible to, all successive Payment Dates in an amount sufficient (x) to pay the interest and principal due on such Payment Dates in respect of a portion of the Loan equal to the amount Defeased and (y) to repay the outstanding principal balance of such portion of the Loan on the first Payment Date in the Prepayment Period or such other Payment Date in the Prepayment Period as Borrower shall elect;
(ii)Β Β Β Β written confirmation from an independent certified public accounting firm reasonably satisfactory to Lender that such Defeasance Collateral is sufficient to provide the payments described in clause (i) above;
(iii)Β Β Β Β a security agreement, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Lender, creating in favor of Lender a first priority perfected security interest in such Defeasance Collateral (a βDefeasance Pledge Agreementβ);
(iv)Β Β Β Β an opinion of counsel for Borrower, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Lender and delivered by counsel reasonably satisfactory to Lender, opining that (1) the Defeasance Pledge Agreement has been duly authorized and is enforceable against Borrower in accordance with its terms and that Lender has a perfected first priority security interest in such Defeasance Collateral; (2) if the Loan has been Securitized, the Defeasance, including any assumption under Section 2.1(b), does not cause a tax to be imposed on the Securitization Vehicle or, if the Securitization Vehicle is a REMIC, does not cause any portion of the Loan to cease to be a βqualified mortgageβ within the meaning of section 860G(a)(3) of the Code, and (3) the Defeasance (in the case of a partial Defeasance, with respect to both the Defeased Note and the Undefeased Note) does not constitute a βsignificant modificationβ of the Loan under Section 1001 of the Code;
(v)Β Β Β Β if the Loan has been Securitized, the Rating Condition with respect to such Defeasance shall have been satisfied;
(vi)Β Β Β Β instruments reasonably satisfactory to Lender releasing and discharging or assigning to a third party Lenderβs Liens on the Collateral so released (other than the Defeasance Collateral);
(vii)Β Β Β Β such other customary certificates, opinions, documents or instruments as Lender and the Rating Agencies may reasonably request; and
(viii)Β Β Β Β reimbursement for any costs and expenses incurred in connection with this Section 2.1 (including Rating Agency and Servicer fees and expenses, reasonable fees and expenses of legal counsel and any revenue, documentary stamp or intangible taxes or any other tax or charge due in connection herewith).
Lender shall reasonably cooperate with Borrower, at Borrowerβs sole cost and expense, to avoid the incurrence of mortgage recording taxes in connection with the refinancing of any of the Properties released in connection with a Defeasance.
(f)Β Β Β Β If the Loan is not Defeased in full, Borrower shall execute and deliver all documents necessary to amend and restate the Note with two substitute Notes: one note having a principal balance equal to the Defeased portion of the original Note (the βDefeased Noteβ) and one note having a principal balance equal to the undefeased portion of the original Note (the βUndefeased Noteβ). At Lenderβs discretion, a Default under the Undefeased Note may cause a Default under the Defeased Note (but a Default under the Defeased Note shall not cause a Default under the Undefeased Note). The Undefeased Notes may be the subject of a further Defeasance in accordance with the terms of this Section 2.1 (the term βNoteβ, as used in this Section 2.1, being deemed to refer to the Undefeased Note that is the subject of further Defeasance).
(g)Β Β Β Β At the time of the Defeasance, the Defeased Note shall be assumed by a bankruptcy-remote entity established by Borrower and approved by Lender in its reasonable discretion, to which Borrower shall transfer all of the Defeasance Collateral (a βDefeasance Borrowerβ).Β Such Defeasance Borrower shall execute and deliver to Lender an assumption agreement in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Lender, such Uniform Commercial Code financing statements as may be reasonably requested by Lender and legal opinions of counsel reasonably acceptable to Lender that are substantially equivalent to the opinions delivered to Lender on the Closing Date, including new nonconsolidation opinions reasonably satisfactory to Lender and satisfactory to the Rating Agencies; and Borrower and the Defeasance Borrower shall deliver such other documents, certificates and legal opinions as Lender shall reasonably request.
(h)Β Β Β Β Borrower must give Lender and each Rating Agency at least 30 daysβ (and not more than 90 daysβ) prior written notice of any Defeasance under this Section 2.1, specifying the date on which the Defeasance is to occur. If such Defeasance is not made on such date (x)Β Borrowerβs notice of Defeasance will be deemed rescinded, and (y)Β Borrower shall on such date pay to Lender all reasonable losses, costs and expenses suffered by Lender as a consequence of such rescission.
(i)Β Β Β Β Upon satisfaction of the requirements contained in this Section 2.1, at Borrowerβs sole cost and expense, Lender will execute and deliver to Borrower such instruments, prepared by Borrower and reasonably approved by Lender, as shall be necessary to release the Property from the Liens of the Loan Documents.
Section 2.2.Β Β Β Β Assumption. Solely in connection with a simultaneous sale of all of the Properties securing the Loan from time to time, the initial Borrower shall have the right to Transfer all of the Collateral to a Qualified Successor Borrower that will, contemporaneously with such Transfer, assume all of the obligations of Borrower hereunder and under the other Loan Documents (an βAssumptionβ), provided no Event of Default or material monetary Default is then continuing or would result therefrom and the following conditions are met to the reasonable satisfaction of Lender:

(b)Β Β Β Β On or prior to the Closing Date, Borrower shall establish and thereafter maintain with the Cash Management Bank a cash management account into which all Revenue from the Property shall be deposited (the βCash Management Accountβ), which account shall be owned by Borrower but remain under the sole and exclusive control (as defined in the New York Uniform Commercial Code) of Lender. As a condition precedent to the closing of the Loan, Borrower shall cause the Cash Management Bank to execute and deliver an agreement (as amended, restated, replaced, supplemented or otherwise modified in accordance herewith, a βCash Management Agreementβ) that provides, inter alia, that no party other than Lender and Servicer shall have the right to withdraw funds from the Cash Management Account and that the Cash Management Bank shall comply with all instructions and entitlement orders of Lender relating to the Cash Management Account and the other Collateral Accounts, in each case, without the consent of Borrower, Operating Lessee or any other Person.
(c)Β Β Β Β Borrower shall cause Approved Property Manager to remit all Revenues from the Property (other than tenant security deposits required to be held in escrow accounts) to the Cash Management Account or a Blocked Account within one Business Day of its receipt thereof. βBlocked Accountβ means an Eligible Account maintained with a financial institution satisfactory to Lender that enters into a blocked account agreement in form and substance satisfactory to Lender (as amended, restated, replaced, supplemented or otherwise modified in accordance herewith, the βBlocked Account Agreementβ) satisfactory to Lender pursuant to which such financial institution will remit, at the end of each Business Day, all amounts contained therein to an account specified by Lender (Lender hereby agreeing to specify the Cash Management Account so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is then continuing).

(iii)Β Β Β Β during the continuance of a Trigger Period, to the Qualified Operating Expense Account, an amount equal to actual Operating Expenses for the Property for the month in which such Payment Date occurs (including amounts payable in respect of sales
and use and occupancy tax, miscellaneous minor vendor charges and server tips, in each case, to the extent the same are collected by Borrower and deposited into the Cash Management Account as Revenue) and, without duplication, the Budgeted Operating Expenses for the month in which such Payment Date occurs, provided that the amounts disbursed to such account pursuant to this clause (iii) shall be used solely to pay Operating Expenses for such month (Borrower agreeing that, in the event that such disbursement exceeds actual Operating Expenses for such month, such excess amounts shall be remitted by Borrower to the Cash Management Account prior to the next succeeding Payment Date);

(v)Β Β Β Β No amounts will be reserved in the Basic Carrying Costs Escrow Account in respect of insurance premiums pursuant to subclause (ii) of Section 3.4(b) for so long as (A) no Event of Default or Trigger Period shall be continuing, (B) no insurance premiums that are currently due and payable remain unpaid; and (C) Borrower shall maintain in the Basic Carrying Costs Escrow Account funds sufficient to pay all of the

Upon the termination of any Tax Reserve Exemption Period Borrower shall deposit into the Basic Carrying Cost Escrow Account within two Business Days an amount sufficient to pay all Taxes by the 30th day prior to the date they come due, taking into account any remaining amounts (if any) contained therein in respect of Taxes and assuming subsequent monthly fundings on Payment Dates of 1/12 of projected annual Taxes and taking into account any amounts already on deposit therein in respect of Taxes. Upon the termination of any Insurance Reserve Exemption Period, Borrower shall deposit into the Basic Carrying Cost Escrow Account within two Business days an amount sufficient to pay all insurance premiums by the 30th day prior to the date they come due, taking into account any remaining amounts (if any) contained therein in respect of insurance premiums and assuming subsequent monthly fundings on Payment Dates of 1/12 of projected annual insurance premiums and taking into account any amount already on deposit therein in respect of insurance premiums.

During any Tax Reserve Exemption Period, Borrower shall make all Tax payments on or before the date due. During any Insurance Reserve Exemption Period, Borrower shall make all insurance premium payments on or before the date due. At all other times, Lender will apply amounts in the Basic Carrying Costs Escrow Account toward the purposes for which such amounts are deposited therein, including, for the avoidance of doubt, Taxes due and payable. In connection with the making of any payment from the Basic Carrying Costs Escrow Account, Lender may cause such payment to be made according to any xxxx, statement or estimate procured from the appropriate public office or insurance carrier, 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 unless given written advance notice by Borrower of such inaccuracy, invalidity or other contest.

Section 3.10.Β Β Β Β Account Collateral.
(a)Β Β Β Β Borrower hereby grants a perfected first-priority security interest in favor of Lender in and to the Account Collateral as security for the Indebtedness, together with all rights of a secured party with respect thereto.

Borrower shall execute any additional documents that Lender in its reasonable discretion may require and shall provide all other evidence reasonably requested by Lender to evidence or perfect its first-priority security interest in the Account Collateral. Funds in the Collateral Account shall be invested at Lenderβs discretion only in Permitted Investments, which Permitted Investments shall be credited to the related Collateral Account. All income and
gains from the investment of funds in the Collateral Accounts other than the Basic Carrying Costs Escrow Account shall be retained in the Collateral Accounts from which they were derived. Unless otherwise required by applicable law, all income and gains from the investment of funds in the Basic Carrying Costs Escrow Account shall be for the account of Lender in consideration of its administration of such Collateral Account, and Lender shall have the right at any time to cause the Cash Management Bank to remit such amounts to Lender. After the Loan and all other Indebtedness have been paid in full, the Collateral Accounts shall be closed and the balances therein, if any, shall be paid to Borrower.
(b)Β Β Β Β The insufficiency of amounts contained in the Collateral Accounts shall not relieve Borrower from its obligation to fulfill all covenants contained in the Loan Documents.
(c)Β Β Β Β During the continuance of an Event of Default, Lender may, in its sole discretion, apply funds in the Collateral Accounts, and funds resulting from the liquidation of Permitted Investments contained in the Collateral Accounts, either toward the components of the Indebtedness (e.g., interest, principal and other amounts payable hereunder), the Loan, the Note Components and the Notes in such sequence as Lender shall elect in its sole discretion, and/or toward the payment of Property expenses, which application may result in an increase in the weighted average of the interest rates applicable to such Notes or Note Components.
Section 3.11.Β Β Β Β Bankruptcy. Borrower and Lender acknowledge and agree that upon the filing of a bankruptcy petition by or against Borrower under the Bankruptcy Code, the Account Collateral and the Revenues (whether then already in the Collateral Accounts, or then due or becoming due thereafter) shall be deemed not to be property of Borrowerβs bankruptcy estate within the meaning of Section 541 of the Bankruptcy Code. If, however, a court of competent jurisdiction determines that, notwithstanding the foregoing characterization of the Account Collateral and the Revenues by Borrower and Lender, the Account Collateral and/or the Revenues do constitute property of Borrowerβs bankruptcy estate, then Borrower and Lender further acknowledge and agree that all such Revenues, whether due and payable before or after the filing of the petition, are and shall be cash collateral of Lender. Borrower acknowledges that Lender does not consent to Borrowerβs use of such cash collateral and that, in the event Lender elects (in its sole discretion) to give such consent, such consent shall only be effective if given in writing signed by Lender. Except as provided in the immediately preceding sentence, Borrower shall not have the right to use or apply or require the use or application of such cash collateral (i) unless Borrower shall have received a court order authorizing the use of the same, and (ii) Borrower shall have provided such adequate protection to Lender as shall be required by the bankruptcy court in accordance with the Bankruptcy Code.

Section 4.21.Β Β Β Β Title. Borrower owns good, marketable and insurable fee title to the Properties, subject to the Permitted Exceptions. Borrower owns good and marketable title to the FF&E. Borrower and/or Operating Lessee own good and marketable title to all personal property related to the Property (other than the FF&E, which is owned solely by Borrower), to the Collateral Accounts and to any other Collateral, in each case free and clear of all Liens whatsoever except the Permitted Encumbrances. The Mortgage, when properly recorded in the appropriate records, together with any Uniform Commercial Code financing statements required to be filed in connection therewith, will create (i) valid, perfected first priority Liens on the Properties and the rents therefrom, enforceable as such against creditors of and purchasers from Borrower or Operating Lessee and subject only to Permitted Encumbrances, and (ii)Β perfected Liens (pursuant to the Uniform Commercial Code of the State of New York) in and to all personalty, all in accordance with the terms thereof, in each case subject only to any applicable Permitted Encumbrances. The Permitted Encumbrances do not and will not materially and adversely affect or interfere with the value, or current or contemplated use or operation, of the Properties, or the security intended to be provided by the Mortgage or Borrowerβs ability to repay the Indebtedness in accordance with the terms of the Loan Documents. Except as insured over by a Qualified Title Insurance Policy, there are no claims for payment for work, labor or materials affecting the Properties that are or may become a Lien prior to, or of equal priority with, the Liens created by the Loan Documents. No creditor of Borrower (other than Lender) or Operating Lessee has in its possession any goods that constitute or evidence the Collateral.
Section 4.22.Β Β Β Β No Encroachments.

(b)Β Β Β Β Borrower is not aware of any material structural or other material defect or damages in any of the Properties, whether latent or otherwise.
(c)Β Β Β Β Borrower has not received and is not aware of any other partyβs receipt of notice from any insurance company or bonding company of any defects or inadequacies in any of the Properties that would, alone or in the aggregate, adversely affect in any material respect the insurability of the same or cause the imposition of extraordinary premiums or charges thereon or of any termination or threatened termination of any policy of insurance or bond.
Section 4.24.Β Β Β Β Fraudulent Conveyance. Borrower has not entered into the Transaction or any of the Loan Documents with the actual intent to hinder, delay or defraud any creditor. Borrower has received reasonably equivalent value in exchange for its obligations under the Loan Documents. On the Closing Date, the fair salable value of Borrowerβs aggregate assets is and will, immediately following the making of the Loan and the use and disbursement of the proceeds thereof, be greater than Borrowerβs probable aggregate liabilities (including subordinated, unliquidated, disputed and Contingent Obligations and, in the case of Borrower, taking into account Borrowerβs right of contribution from Borrower, as set forth in Section 9.31). Borrowerβs aggregate assets do not and, immediately following the making of the Loan and the use and disbursement of the proceeds thereof will not, constitute unreasonably small capital to carry out its business as conducted or as proposed to be conducted. Borrower does not intend to, and does not believe that it will, incur debts and liabilities (including Contingent Obligations and other commitments) beyond its ability to pay such debts as they mature (taking into account the timing and amounts to be payable on or in respect of obligations of Borrower).

Section 4.29.Β Β Β Β Assessments. There are no pending or, to Borrowerβs knowledge, proposed special or other assessments for public improvements or otherwise affecting any of the Properties, nor are there any contemplated improvements to any of the Properties that may result in such special or other assessments. No extension of time for assessment or payment by Borrower of any federal, state or local tax is in effect.
Section 4.30.Β Β Β Β No Joint Assessment. Borrower has not suffered, permitted or initiated the joint assessment of any of the Properties (i) with any other real property constituting a separate tax lot, or (ii) with any personal property, or any other procedure whereby the Lien of any Taxes that may be levied against such other real property or personal property shall be assessed or levied or charged to any of the Properties as a single Lien.
Section 4.31.Β Β Β Β Separate Lots. No portion of any of the Properties is part of a tax lot that also includes any real property that is not Collateral.

None of the improvements on any of the Properties is located in an area identified by the Federal Emergency Management Agency or the Federal Insurance Administration as a β100 year flood plainβ or as having special flood hazards (including Zones A and V), or, to the extent that any portion of any of the Properties is located in such an area, such Property is covered by flood insurance meeting the requirements set forth in Section 5.15(a)(ii).
Section 4.34.Β Β Β Β Security Deposits. Borrower and Operating Lessee are in compliance in all material respects with all Legal Requirements relating to security deposits.
Section 4.35.Β Β Β Β Acquisition Documents. Borrower has delivered to Lender true and complete copies of all material agreements and instruments under which Borrower or any of its Affiliates or the seller of any of the Properties have remaining rights or obligations in respect of Borrowerβs acquisition of the Properties.
Section 4.36.Β Β Β Β Insurance. Borrower or Operating Lessee has obtained, or caused to be obtained, insurance policies reflecting the insurance coverages, amounts and other requirements set forth in this Agreement. All premiums on such insurance policies required to be paid as of the Closing Date have been paid for the current policy period. No Person, including Borrower and Operating Lessee, has done, by act or omission, anything that would impair the coverage of any such policy.

Section 5.2.Β Β Β Β Maintenance of Properties.
(f)Β Β Β Β Borrower shall cause each Property to be maintained in good and safe working order and repair, reasonable wear and tear excepted, and in keeping with the condition and repair of properties of a similar use, value, age, nature and construction. Borrower shall not, and shall not cause or permit Operating Lessee or Approved Property Manager to, use, maintain or operate any Property in any manner that constitutes a public or private nuisance or that makes void, voidable, or cancelable, or increases the premium of, any insurance then in force with respect thereto. Subject to Section 6.13, without the prior written consent of Lender, no improvements or equipment located at or on the Property shall be removed, demolished or materially altered (except for replacement of equipment in the ordinary course of Borrowerβs or Operating Lesseeβs business with items of the same utility and of equal or greater value and sales of obsolete equipment no longer needed for the operation of the applicable Property). Subject to Section 6.13, Borrower shall from time to time make, or cause to be made, all reasonably necessary and desirable repairs, renewals, replacements, betterments and improvements to the Properties. Borrower shall not, and shall not cause or permit Operating Lessee or Approved Property Manager to, make any change in the use of any Property that would materially increase the risk of fire or other hazard arising out of the operation of any Property, or do or permit to be done thereon anything that may in any way impair the value of any Property in any material respect or the Lien of the Mortgage or otherwise cause or reasonably be expected to result in a

If in the opinion of Lenderβs counsel it might be unlawful to require Borrower to make such payment or the making of such payment might result in the imposition of interest beyond the maximum amount permitted by applicable Law, Lender may elect to declare all of the Indebtedness to be due and payable 90 days from the giving of written notice by Lender to Borrower.
Section 5.5.Β Β Β Β Access to Properties. Borrower shall, and shall cause Operating Lessee and Approved Property Manager to permit agents, representatives and employees of Lender and the Servicer to enter and inspect the Properties or any portion thereof, and/or inspect, examine, audit and copy the books and records of Borrower, Operating Lessee and Approved Property Manager (including all recorded data of any kind or nature, regardless of the medium of recording), at such reasonable times as may be requested by Lender upon reasonable advance notice (all subject to the terms and conditions of the Approved Management Agreement).

Except with respect to any claim by Borrower against Lender, Borrower shall, and shall cause Operating Lessee to, cooperate fully with Lender with respect to any proceedings before any Governmental Authority that may in any way affect the rights of Lender hereunder or under any of the Loan Documents and, in connection therewith, Lender may, at its election, participate or designate a representative to participate in any such proceedings.
Section 5.7.Β Β Β Β Leases.
(g)Β Β Β Β Borrower shall furnish Lender with executed copies of all Leases, together with a detailed breakdown of income and cost associated therewith. All new Leases and renewals or amendments of Leases must (i) be entered into on an arms-length basis with Tenants that are not Affiliates of Borrower and whose identity and creditworthiness is appropriate for tenancy in property of comparable quality, (ii) provide for rental rates and other economic terms that, taken as a whole, are at least equivalent to then-existing market rates, based on the applicable market, and otherwise contain terms and conditions that are commercially reasonable, (iii) have an initial term of not more than 10 years, (iv) not have or reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect, (v) be expressly subject and subordinate to the Mortgage and contain provisions for the agreement by the Tenant thereunder to attorn to Lender and any

(i)Β Β Β Β Borrower shall, or shall cause Operating Lessee to, (i)Β observe and punctually perform all the material obligations imposed upon the lessor under the Leases; (ii)Β enforce all of the material terms, covenants and conditions contained in the Leases on the part of the lessee thereunder to be observed or performed, short of termination thereof, except that the lessor may terminate any Lease following a material default thereunder by the respective Tenant; (iii)Β not collect any of the rents thereunder more than one month in advance; (iv)Β not execute any assignment of lessorβs interest in the Leases or associated rents other than the assignment of rents and leases under the Mortgage; (v)Β not cancel or terminate any guarantee of any of the Major Leases without the prior written consent of Lender; and (vi) not permit any subletting of any space covered by a Lease or an assignment of the Tenantβs rights under a Lease, except in strict accordance with the terms of such Lease.

Any bond or other instrument that Borrower or Operating Lessee is permitted to hold in lieu of cash security deposits under any applicable Legal Requirements shall be maintained in full force and effect unless replaced by cash deposits as described above, shall be issued by an institution reasonably satisfactory to Lender, shall (if not prohibited by any Legal Requirements) name Lender as payee or mortgagee thereunder (or at Lenderβs option, be fully assignable to Lender) or may name Borrower or Operating Lessee as payee thereunder so long as such bond or other instrument is pledged to Lender as security for the Indebtedness and shall, in all respects, comply with any applicable Legal Requirements and otherwise be reasonably satisfactory to Lender. Borrower shall, upon Lenderβs request, provide Lender with evidence reasonably satisfactory to Lender of Borrowerβs and Operating Lesseeβs compliance with the foregoing. During the continuance of
an Event of Default, Borrower shall, upon Lenderβs request, cause to be deposited with Lender in an Eligible Account pledged to Lender an amount equal to the aggregate security deposits of the Tenants (and any interest theretofore earned on such security deposits and actually received by Borrower or Operating Lessee) that Borrower and Operating Lessee had not returned to the applicable Tenants or applied in accordance with the terms of the applicable Lease.
(k)Β Β Β Β Borrower shall cause to be promptly delivered to Lender a copy of each written notice from a Tenant under any Major Lease claiming that Borrower or Operating Lessee is in default in the performance or observance of any of the material terms, covenants or conditions thereof. Borrower shall cause each Major Lease executed after the Closing Date to which Borrower or Operating Lessee is a party to provide that any Tenant delivering any such notice shall send a copy of such notice directly to Lender.
(l)Β Β Β Β Whenever a Major Lease is terminated, whether by buy-out, cancellation, default, rejection or otherwise, and Borrower receives any payment, fee, damages or penalty in respect of such termination (a βTermination Feeβ), Borrower shall promptly cause such Termination Fee to be remitted to Lender to be held in a reserve account controlled by Lender. Provided no Event of Default is continuing, (i) Lender shall disburse such Termination Fee or portion thereof to Borrower at the written request of Borrower in respect of Leasing Commissions and Tenant Improvement costs incurred by Borrower in connection with entering into Leases at the Properties and (ii) unless a Trigger Period is continuing, the remainder of such Termination Fee or portion thereof, if any, shall be remitted to the Cash Management Account after the space covered by such terminated Lease has been relet, the replacement Tenant is in occupancy and has commenced paying rent under the replacement Lease and all Leasing Commissions and Tenant Improvement costs relating to such space have been paid.
Section 5.8.Β Β Β Β Plan Assets, etc. Borrower will do, or cause to be done, all things necessary to ensure that neither Borrower nor Operating Lessee will be deemed to hold Plan Assets at any time.
Section 5.9.Β Β Β Β Further Assurances. Borrower shall (and, as applicable, shall cause Operating Lessee to), at Borrowerβs sole cost and expense, from time to time as reasonably requested by Lender, execute, acknowledge, record, register, file and/or deliver to Lender such other instruments, agreements, certificates and documents (including Uniform Commercial Code financing statements and amended or replacement mortgages) as Lender may reasonably request to evidence, confirm, perfect and maintain the Liens securing or intended to secure the obligations of Borrower and the rights of Lender under the Loan Documents or to facilitate a replacement of the Cash Management Bank pursuant to Section 3.1(c) or a bifurcation of the Notes pursuant to Sections 1.1(c) and/or 9.7(b) or a restructuring of the Loan pursuant to the Cooperation Agreement, in each case if requested by Lender, and do and execute all such further lawful and reasonable acts, conveyances and assurances for the better and more effective carrying out of the intents and purposes of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents as Lender shall reasonably request from time to time (including the payment and application of Loss Proceeds). Upon foreclosure, the appointment of a receiver or any other relevant action, Borrower shall (and, as applicable, shall cause Operating Lessee or Approved Property Manager
to), at Borrowerβs sole cost and expense, cooperate fully and completely to effect the assignment or transfer of any license, permit, agreement or any other right necessary or useful to the operation of the Collateral. Upon receipt of an affidavit from Lender as to the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of any Note, Borrower shall issue, in lieu thereof, a replacement Note in the same principle amount thereof and in the form thereof. Borrower hereby authorizes and appoints Lender as its attorney-in-fact to execute, acknowledge, record, register and/or file such instruments, agreements, certificates and documents, and to do and execute such acts, conveyances and assurances, should Borrower fail to do so itself in violation of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents following written request from Lender, in each case without the signature of Borrower. The foregoing grant of authority is a power of attorney coupled with an interest and such appointment shall be irrevocable for the term of this Agreement. Borrower hereby ratifies all actions that such attorney shall lawfully take or cause to be taken in accordance with this Section 5.9.
Section 5.10.Β Β Β Β Management of Collateral.
(a)Β Β Β Β Each Property shall be managed at all times by an Approved Property Manager pursuant to an Approved Management Agreement. Pursuant to the Subordination of Property Management Agreement, Approved Property Manager shall agree that the Approved Management Agreement and the incentive fee payable thereunder are subject and subordinate to the Indebtedness. Borrower may from time to time, with Lenderβs consent and subject to satisfaction of the Rating Condition, appoint a replacement Approved Property Manager to manage one or more of the Properties pursuant to an Approved Management Agreement, and such successor manager shall execute for Lenderβs benefit a Subordination of Property Management Agreement in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Lender. Any request for Lenderβs consent to the appointment of a replacement Approved Property Manager shall be made in writing and accompanied by the proposed management agreement and such information regarding the proposed replacement Approved Property Manager that would allow Lender to evaluate the same (including, the number of hotels and rooms under management, the geographic regions in which such managed properties are located, the flags related to such managed properties and the number of years the proposed manager has been managing such properties). If Lender shall fail to respond to Borrowerβs request to approve or disapprove a replacement Approved Property Manager within ten Business Days of Lenderβs receipt of such request and all required information, Borrower may deliver to Lender a second request for consent stating in bold and capitalized type that βLENDERβS FAILURE TO RESPOND TO THE ENCLOSED REQUEST WITHIN TEN BUSINESS DAYS SHALL BE DEEMED LENDERβS APPROVAL.β In the event Lender fails to approve or disapprove such request, or request additional information, within ten Business Days of Lenderβs receipt of such second request, such request shall be deemed approved.

For purposes of determining whether the insurer ratings requirements set forth above have been satisfied, any insurer that is not rated by Fitch will be regarded as having a Fitch rating that is the equivalent of the rating given to such insurer by any
of Moodyβs or S&P that does rate such insurer (or, if both such rating agencies rate such insurer, the lower of the two ratings).

(viii)Β Β Β Β shall not contain provisions that would make Lender liable for any insurance premiums thereon or subject to any assessments thereunder;

(xi)Β Β Β Β shall otherwise be reasonably satisfactory in form and substance to Lender and shall contain such other provisions as Lender deems reasonably necessary or desirable to protect its interests.
(d)Β Β Β Β Borrower shall pay the premiums for all Policies as the same become due and payable. Complete copies of such Policies, certified as true and correct by Borrower, shall be delivered to Lender promptly upon request. Not later than 30 days prior to the expiration date of each Policy, Borrower shall deliver to Lender evidence, reasonably satisfactory to Lender, of its renewal. Borrower shall promptly forward to Lender a copy of each written notice received by Borrower of any modification, reduction or cancellation of any of the Policies or of any of the coverages afforded under any of the Policies.

If at any time Lender is not in receipt of written evidence that all Policies are in full force and effect when and as required hereunder, Lender shall have the right to take such action as Lender deems necessary to protect its interest in the Properties, including the obtaining of such insurance coverage as Lender in its sole discretion deems appropriate (but limited to the coverages and amounts required hereunder). 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, and shall bear interest at the Default Rate.

Section 5.16.Β Β Β Β Casualty and Condemnation.
(c)Β Β Β Β Borrower shall give prompt notice to Lender of any Casualty or Condemnation or of the actual or threatened commencement of proceedings that would result in a Condemnation.
(d)Β Β Β Β Lender may participate in any proceedings for any taking by any public or quasi-public authority accomplished through a Condemnation or any transfer made in lieu of or in anticipation of a Condemnation, to the extent permitted by law. Upon Lenderβs request, Borrower shall deliver to Lender all instruments reasonably requested by it to permit such participation. Borrower shall, at its sole cost and 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. Borrower shall not consent or agree to a Condemnation or action in lieu thereof without the prior written consent of Lender in each instance, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed in the case of a taking of an immaterial portion of any Property.
(e)Β Β Β Β Lender may (x)Β jointly with Borrower settle and adjust any claims, (y)Β during the continuance of an Event of Default, settle and adjust any claims without the consent or cooperation of Borrower, or (z)Β allow Borrower to settle and adjust any claims; except that if no Event of Default is continuing, Borrower may settle and adjust claims aggregating not in excess of 5% of the Allocated Loan Amount for the applicable Property if such settlement or adjustment is carried out in a competent and timely manner, but Lender shall be entitled to collect and receive (as set forth below) any and all Loss Proceeds. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Lender shall have no right to settle or adjust claims relating to damage caused by Hurricane Xxxxx. The reasonable expenses incurred by Lender in the adjustment and collection of Loss Proceeds shall become part of the Indebtedness and shall be reimbursed by Borrower to Lender upon demand therefor.
(f)Β Β Β Β All Loss Proceeds from any Casualty or Condemnation shall be immediately deposited into the Loss Proceeds Account (monthly rental loss/business interruption proceeds to be initially deposited into the Loss Proceeds Account and subsequently deposited into the Cash Management Account in installments as and when the lost rental income covered by such proceeds would have been payable). Following the occurrence of a Casualty, Borrower, regardless of whether proceeds are available, shall in a reasonably prompt manner proceed to restore, repair, replace or rebuild the applicable Property to be of at least equal value and of substantially the same character as prior to the Casualty, all in accordance with the terms hereof applicable to Alterations. If at any Property a Condemnation or Casualty occurs as to which, in the reasonable judgment of Lender:
(i)Β Β Β Β in the case of a Casualty, the cost of restoration would not exceed 25% of the applicable Allocated Loan Amount and the Casualty does not (x) render untenantable, or result in the cancellation of Leases covering, more than 25% of the gross rentable area of such Property, or result in cancellation of Leases covering more than 25% of the base contractual rental revenue of such Property and/or (y) result in the removal of more than 30% of the guest rooms at such Property from the reservation pool;
(ii)Β Β Β Β in the case of a Condemnation, the Condemnation does not (x) render untenantable, or result in the cancellation of Leases covering, more than 15% of the gross rentable area of such Property and/or (y) result in the removal of more than 15% of the guest rooms at such Property from the reservation pool;
(iii)Β Β Β Β restoration of such Property is reasonably expected to be completed prior to the expiration of rental interruption insurance and at least six months prior to the Maturity Date;
(iv)Β Β Β Β after such restoration, the fair market value of such Property is reasonably expected to equal at least the fair market value of such Property immediately prior to such Condemnation or Casualty; and
(v)Β Β Β Β all necessary approvals and consents from Governmental Authorities will be obtained to allow the rebuilding and re-occupancy of such Property;
or if Lender otherwise elects to allow Borrower to restore such Property, then, provided no Event of Default is continuing, the Loss Proceeds after receipt thereof by Lender and reimbursement of any reasonable expenses incurred by Lender in connection therewith shall be applied to the cost of restoring, repairing, replacing or rebuilding such Property or part thereof subject to the Casualty or Condemnation, in the manner set forth below (and Borrower shall commence, as promptly and diligently as practicable, to prosecute such restoring, repairing, replacing or rebuilding of such Properties in a workmanlike fashion and in accordance with applicable law to a status at least equivalent to the quality and character of such Properties immediately prior to the Condemnation or Casualty). Provided that no Event of Default shall have occurred and be then continuing, Lender shall disburse such Loss Proceeds to Borrower upon Lenderβs being furnished with (i)Β evidence reasonably satisfactory to it of the estimated cost of completion of the restoration, (ii)Β funds, or assurances reasonably satisfactory to Lender that such funds are available and sufficient in addition to any remaining Loss Proceeds, to complete the proposed restoration (including for any reasonable costs and expenses of Lender to be incurred in administering such restoration) and for payment of the Indebtedness as it becomes due and payable during the restoration, and (iii)Β such architectβs certificates, waivers of lien, contractorβs sworn statements, title insurance endorsements, bonds, plats of survey and such other evidences of cost, payment and performance as Lender may reasonably request; and Lender may, in any event, require that all plans and specifications for restoration reasonably estimated by Lender to exceed 5% of the Allocated Loan Amount for the applicable Property be submitted to and approved by Lender prior to commencement of work (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld). If Lender reasonably estimates that the cost to restore will exceed 5% of the Allocated Loan Amount for the applicable Property, Lender may retain a local construction consultant to inspect such work and review Borrowerβs request for payments and Borrower shall, on demand by Lender, reimburse Lender for the reasonable fees and expenses of such consultant (which fees and expenses shall constitute Indebtedness). No payment shall exceed 90% of the value of the work performed from time to time until such time as 50% of the restoration (calculated based on the anticipated aggregate cost of the work) has been completed, and amounts retained prior to completion of 50% of the restoration shall not be paid prior to the final
completion of the restoration. Funds other than Loss Proceeds shall be disbursed prior to disbursement of such Loss Proceeds, and at all times the undisbursed balance of such proceeds remaining in the Loss Proceeds Account, together with any additional funds irrevocably and unconditionally deposited therein or irrevocably and unconditionally committed for that purpose, shall be at least sufficient in the reasonable judgment of Lender to pay for the cost of completion of the restoration free and clear of all Liens or claims for Lien.
(g)Β Β Β Β Borrower shall cooperate with Lender in obtaining for Lender the benefits of any Loss Proceeds lawfully or equitably payable to Lender in connection with the Properties. Lender shall be reimbursed for any expenses reasonably incurred in connection therewith (including reasonable attorneysβ fees and disbursements, and, if reasonably necessary to collect such proceeds, the expense of an Appraisal on behalf of Lender) out of such Loss Proceeds or, if insufficient for such purpose, by Borrower. Borrower hereby irrevocably constitutes and appoints Lender as the attorney-in-fact of Borrower for matters in excess of 5% of the Allocated Loan Amount for the applicable Property with respect to the Property, with full power of substitution, subject to the terms of this Section 5.16, to settle for, collect and receive all Loss Proceeds and any other awards, damages, insurance proceeds, payments or other compensation from the parties or authorities making the same, to appear in and prosecute any proceedings therefor and to give receipts and acquittance therefor (which power of attorney shall be irrevocable so long as any of the Indebtedness is outstanding, shall be deemed coupled with an interest, and shall survive the voluntary or involuntary dissolution of Borrower).
(h)Β Β Β Β If Borrower is not entitled to apply Loss Proceeds toward the restoration of a Property pursuant to Section 5.16(d) and Lender elects not to permit such Loss Proceeds to be so applied, such Loss Proceeds shall be applied on the first Payment Date following such election to the prepayment of the principal of the Loan and shall be accompanied by interest through the end of the applicable Interest Accrual Period (calculated as if the amount prepaid were outstanding for the entire Interest Accrual Period); provided, however, that if Borrower shall deliver to Lender written notice of its intent to Defease the Loan in the amount of the Release Price allocable to the affected Property and obtain a release of the affected Property from the Liens of the Loan Documents, and Borrower thereafter so Defeases the Loan and obtains a release of the affected Property (in each case, pursuant to and in accordance with the terms and conditions of Section 2.1), so long as no Event of Default is continuing, Lender shall remit the applicable Loss Proceeds to the applicable Borrower. If the Note has been bifurcated into multiple Notes or Note Components pursuant to Section 1.1(c), and Borrower does not effectuate a Defeasance of the Loan pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence, all prepayments of the Loan made by Borrower in accordance with this Section 5.16(f) shall be applied to the Notes or Note Components in ascending order of interest rate (i.e., first to the Note or Note Component with the lowest interest rate until its outstanding principal balance has been reduced to zero, then to the Note or Note Component with the second lowest interest rate until its outstanding principal balance has been reduced to zero, and so on) or in such other order as Lender shall determine, which application may result in an increase in the weighted average of the interest rate applicable to such Notes or Note Components.
(i)Β Β Β Β Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 5.16, if the Loan is included in a REMIC and immediately following a release of any portion of the applicable Property from the Lien of the Loan Documents in connection with a Casualty or Condemnation the Loan would fail to satisfy a Lender 80% Determination, then the principal of the Loan shall be prepaid in accordance with Section 5.16(f) in an amount equal to either (i) so much of the Loss Proceeds as are necessary to cause the Lender 80% Determination to be satisfied, or if the aggregate Loss Proceeds are insufficient for such purpose, then the amount realized by Borrower from the Casualty or Condemnation for purposes of computing gain or loss under section 1001 of the Code, or (ii) a lesser amount provided Borrower delivers to Lender an opinion of counsel for Borrower, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Lender and delivered by counsel reasonably satisfactory to Lender, opining that such release of such Property from the Lien does not cause any portion of the Loan to cease to be a βqualified mortgageβ within the meaning of section 860G(a)(3) of the Code.
Section 5.17.Β Β Β Β Annual Budget.

Without the prior written consent of Lender, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed, during the continuance of a Trigger Period, neither Borrower nor Operating Lessee shall make or approve any expenditures that are either not provided for in the Approved Annual Budget or that would, in the aggregate, cause any line item in the Approved Annual Budget for any individual Property to be exceeded by 5% or more measured on an annual basis, other than expenditures for non-discretionary items and expenditures required to be made by reason of the occurrence of any emergency (i.e., an unexpected event that threatens imminent harm to persons or property at a Property) and with respect to which it would be impracticable, under the circumstances, to obtain Lenderβs prior consent thereto.

(v)Β Β Β Β Borrower shall, and shall cause Operating Lessee to, deliver to each other party to any Permitted Encumbrance and any Material Agreement notice of the identity of Lender and each assignee of Lender of which Borrower is aware if such notice is required in order to protect Lenderβs interest thereunder.

None of Borrower, Operating Lessee, Sponsor or any Person owning a direct or indirect beneficial interest in Borrower, Operating Lessee, or Sponsor shall (i) knowingly conduct any business, or engage in any transaction or dealing, with any Embargoed Person, including, but not limited to, the making or receiving of any contribution of funds, goods, or services, to or for the benefit of a Embargoed Person, or (ii) knowingly engage in or conspire to engage in any transaction that evades or avoids, or has the purpose of evading or avoiding, or attempts to violate, any of the prohibitions set forth in Executive Order 13224. Borrower shall deliver to Lender from time to time written certification or other evidence as may be reasonably requested by Lender, confirming that (x) none of Borrower, Operating Lessee, Sponsor or, to Borrowerβs knowledge, any Person owning a direct or indirect beneficial interest in Borrower, Operating Lessee, or Sponsor is an Embargoed Person and (y) none of Borrower, Operating Lessee, Sponsor or, to Borrowerβs knowledge, any Person owning a direct or indirect beneficial interest in Borrower, Operating Lessee, or Sponsor has knowingly engaged in any business, transaction or dealings with a Embargoed Person, including, but not limited to, the making or receiving of any contribution of funds, goods, or services, to or for the benefit of a Embargoed Person.
Section 5.21.Β Β Β Β Operating Lease.
(a)Β Β Β Β Operating Lessee shall comply with the affirmative and negative covenants relating to the Operating Lessee contained in this Agreement, and no Default hereunder shall be excused by virtue of the fact that such Default was caused by Operating Lessee. Lender acknowledges that Operating Lessee is not liable for the Indebtedness; provided, however, that Operating Lessee acknowledges that Operating Lesseeβs property constitutes Collateral for the Loan as set forth in the Mortgage and the other Loan Documents.
(b)Β Β Β Β Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, Borrower shall cause the Operating Lease to remain in effect in accordance with its terms so long as any portion of the Indebtedness is outstanding.

In addition, upon acceleration of the Loan, Lender may, at its sole option and regardless of whether Operating Lessee is in default or in compliance with the terms of the Operating Lease, deliver a termination notice to Borrower and Operating Lessee terminating the Operating Lease without payment of any termination fee, penalty or other amount, such termination to be immediately effective upon the conveyance of the Property by foreclosure or deed in lieu of foreclosure.
(d)Β Β Β Β Operating Lessee hereby consents to the Loan and acknowledges that it derives substantial benefit from the making thereof. Borrower acknowledges that, pursuant to the Operating Lease, all amounts remitted to Lender or deposited into the Cash Management Account by the Approved Property Manager or Operating Lessee shall be credited against any rent payable by the Operating Lessee to Borrower under the Operating Lease.
(e)Β Β Β Β Operating Lessee hereby makes for and on behalf of itself each representation in Article IV relating to Operating Lessee and/or the Properties. With respect to any provision in this Agreement pursuant to which Borrower has covenanted to cause the Operating Lessee to take an action or refrain from taking an action, Operating Lessee hereby covenants that it shall take such action, or refrain from taking such action, as the case may be (and any failure to take, or refrain from taking, such action shall be a Default hereunder).
(f)Β Β Β Β Operating Lessee hereby represents and warrants that all personal property of Operating Lessee located at or in any way related to any of the Properties is owned by Operating Lessee free and clear of all Liens whatsoever. Operating Lessee and Borrower acknowledge and agree that upon expiration or termination of the Operating Lease for any reason whatsoever (including termination of the Operating Lease absent of a default by Operating Lessee under the Operating Lease), Operating Lessee shall transfer all personal property of Operating Lessee located at or in any way related to the Properties (and all agreements relating to
the Properties to which Operating Lessee is a party) to (i) Lender, in the case of termination of the Operating Lease after an Event of Default and Lenderβs exercise of its rights under the Loan Documents or (ii) at all other times, Borrower.

Borrower shall substantially complete the entire A-50 Capital Plan by no later than October 31, 2013 and, within 10 Business days following such completion Borrower shall deliver to Lender an Officerβs Certificate certifying such completion and the total cost thereof. Lender shall have the right to (i) inspect the Property (in accordance with Section 5.5 of this Agreement) to verify completion of the A-50 Capital Plan and (ii) request backup documentation, including copies of invoices and cancelled checks related to the A-50 Capital Plan and/or a summary of such invoices and cancelled checks in a spreadsheet that also indicates the associated line item on Schedule F-1.
(f)Β Β Β Β Borrower shall spend a minimum of $17,500,000 on the completion of the A-50 Capital Plan; provided, however, that to the extent the A-50 Capital Plan shall be completed for an amount less than $17,500,000, within three Business Days following the date on which all work under the A-50 Capital Plan shall have been substantially completed, Borrower shall deposit or cause to be deposited into the Borrower FF&E Account funds equal to the amount, if any, by which $17,500,000 exceeds the amount actually expended by Borrower in connection with the substantial completion of the A-50 Capital Plan.
(g)Β Β Β Β Borrower shall, if required to do so under applicable Legal Requirements, obtain a new certificate of occupancy for the Property in connection with the Capital Plan or any future renovations.

In addition, prior to the completion of the Capital Plan, upon Lenderβs request (not to exceed once per month), Borrower shall provide an Officerβs Certificate from Sponsor certifying that it complies with the
Sponsor Financial Requirements. The failure of Sponsor to satisfy the Net Worth requirement set forth in the first sentence of this Section 5.23 shall, in addition to causing the commencement of a Trigger Period, at Lenderβs election, constitute an immediate Event of Default. The failure of Sponsor to satisfy the Liquidity requirement set forth in the first sentence of this Section 5.23 shall not constitute an Event of Default (but shall cause the commencement of a Trigger Period), provided that, if such failure shall occur prior to the completion of the Capital Plan, within 10 Business Days following such failure, Borrower shall deposit with Lender as additional collateral for the Loan an amount equal to 110% of the remaining cost to complete the Capital Plan (and the failure to so deposit such amount with Lender shall constitute an Event of Default).

Section 7.2.Β Β Β Β Remedies.
(e)Β Β Β Β During the continuance of an Event of Default, Lender may by written notice to Borrower, in addition to any other rights or remedies available pursuant to this Agreement, the Notes, the Mortgage and the other Loan Documents, at law or in equity, declare by written notice to Borrower all or any portion of the Indebtedness to be immediately due and payable, whereupon all or such portion of the Indebtedness shall so become due and payable, and Lender may enforce or avail itself of any or all rights or remedies provided in the Loan Documents against Borrower and the Collateral (including all rights or remedies available at law or in equity); provided, however, that, notwithstanding the foregoing, if an Event of Default specified in paragraph 7.1(d) shall occur, then the Indebtedness shall immediately become due and payable without the giving of any notice or other action by Lender. Any 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 in this Agreement or in the other Loan Documents.
(f)Β Β Β Β If Lender forecloses on the Property, Lender shall apply all net proceeds of such foreclosure to repay the Indebtedness, the Indebtedness shall be reduced to the extent of such net proceeds and the remaining portion of the Indebtedness shall remain outstanding and
secured by the Properties and the other Loan Documents, it being understood and agreed by Borrower that Borrower is liable for the repayment of all the Indebtedness; provided, however, that at the election of Lender, the Notes shall be deemed to have been accelerated only to the extent of the net proceeds actually received by Lender with respect to the Properties and applied in reduction of the Indebtedness.
(g)Β Β Β Β During the continuance of any Event of Default (including an Event of Default resulting from a failure to satisfy the insurance requirements specified herein), Lender may, but without any obligation to do so and without notice to or demand on Borrower and without releasing Borrower from any obligation hereunder, take any action to cure such Event of Default. Lender may enter upon any or all of the Properties upon reasonable notice to Borrower for such purposes or appear in, defend, or bring any action or proceeding to protect its interest in the Collateral or to foreclose the Mortgage or collect the Indebtedness. The costs and expenses incurred by Lender in exercising rights under this Section (including reasonable attorneysβ fees), with interest at the Default Rate for the period after notice from Lender that such costs or expenses were incurred to the date of payment to Lender, shall constitute a portion of the Indebtedness, shall be secured by the Mortgage and other Loan Documents and shall be due and payable to Lender upon demand therefor.
(h)Β Β Β Β Interest shall accrue on any judgment obtained by Lender in connection with its enforcement of the Loan at a rate of interest equal to the Default Rate.
(i)Β Β Β Β Notwithstanding the availability of legal remedies, Lender will be entitled to obtain specific performance, mandatory or prohibitory injunctive relief, or other equitable relief requiring Borrower to cure or refrain from repeating any Default.
(j)Β Β Β Β Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, Lender shall have the right from time to time to sever the Note and the other Loan Documents into one or more separate notes, mortgages and other security documents (the βSevered Loan Documentsβ) in such denominations as Lender shall determine in its sole discretion for purposes of evidencing and enforcing its rights and remedies provided hereunder. Borrower shall execute and deliver to Lender from time to time, promptly after the request of Lender, a severance agreement and such other documents as Lender shall request in order to effect the severance described in the preceding sentence, all in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Lender. Borrower hereby absolutely and irrevocably appoints Lender as its true and lawful attorney, coupled with an interest, in its name and stead to execute the Severed Loan Documents (Borrower ratifying all that its said attorney shall do by virtue thereof); provided, however, that Lender shall not make or execute any such Severed Loan Documents under such power until the expiration of three days after written notice has been given to Borrower by Lender of Lenderβs intent to exercise its rights under the aforesaid power. Borrower shall be obligated to pay any costs or expenses incurred in connection with the preparation, execution, recording or filing of the Severed Loan Documents. The Severed Loan Documents shall not contain any representations, warranties or covenants not contained in the Loan Documents, and any such representations and warranties contained in the Severed Loan Documents will be given by Borrower only as of the Closing Date. In connection with the exercise by Lender of its rights
and remedies under the Mortgage and the other Loan Documents, the Properties may be foreclosed upon and sold individually or collectively and in such manner and order as Lender in its sole discretion, may elect, subject to applicable law; the right of sale arising out of any Event of Default shall not be exhausted by any one or more sales.
Section 7.3.Β Β Β Β No Waiver. 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 by Lender to be expedient. A waiver of any Default or Event of Default shall not be construed to be a waiver of any subsequent Default or Event of Default or to impair any remedy, right or power consequent thereon.

Section 9.6.Β Β Β Β Headings. The Article and SectionΒ headings in this Agreement are included in this Agreement for convenience of reference only and shall not constitute a part of this Agreement for any other purpose.
Section 9.7.Β Β Β Β Assignment and Participation.
(c)Β Β Β Β Except as explicitly set forth in Sections 2.1 and 2.2, Borrower may not sell, assign or transfer any interest in the Loan Documents or any portion thereof (including Borrowerβs rights, title, interests, remedies, powers and duties hereunder and thereunder).
(d)Β Β Β Β Lender and each assignee of all or a portion of the Loan shall have the right from time to time in its discretion to sell one or more of the Notes or Note Components or any interest therein (an βAssignmentβ) and/or sell a participation interest in one or more of the Notes or Note Components (a βParticipationβ). Borrower agrees to reasonably cooperate with Lender, at Lenderβs request, in order to effectuate any such Assignment or Participation, and Borrower shall promptly provide such information, legal opinions and documents relating to Borrower, any Single-Purpose Equityholder, Sponsor, the Property, the Approved Property Manager and any Tenants as Lender may reasonably request in connection with such Assignment or Participation. In the case of an Assignment, (i)Β each assignee shall have, to the extent of such Assignment, the rights, benefits and obligations of the assigning Lender as a βLenderβ hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, (ii)Β the assigning Lender shall, to the extent that rights and obligations hereunder have been assigned by it pursuant to an Assignment, relinquish its rights and be released from its obligations under this Agreement, and (iii) one Lender shall serve as agent for all Lenders and shall be the sole Lender to whom notices, requests and other communications shall be addressed and the sole party authorized to grant or withhold consents hereunder on behalf of the Lenders (subject, in each case, to appointment of a Servicer, pursuant to Section 9.22, to receive such notices, requests and other communications and/or to grant or withhold consents, as the case may be) and to be the sole Lender to designate the account to which payments shall be made by Borrower to the Lenders hereunder. Xxxxxxx Xxxxx Mortgage Company or, upon the appointment of a Servicer, such Servicer, shall maintain, or cause to be maintained, as agent for Borrower, a register on which it shall enter the name or names of the registered owner or owners from time to time of the Notes. Borrower agrees that upon effectiveness of any Assignment of any Note in part, Borrower will promptly provide to the assignor and the assignee separate promissory notes in the amount of their respective interests (but, if applicable, with a notation thereon that it is given in substitution for and replacement of an original Note or any replacement thereof), and otherwise in the form of such Note, upon return of the Note then being replaced. The assigning Lender shall notify in writing each of the other Lenders of any Assignment. Each potential or actual assignee, participant or investor in a Securitization, and each Rating Agency, shall be entitled to receive all information received by Lender under this Agreement. After the effectiveness of any Assignment, the party conveying the Assignment shall provide notice to Borrower and each Lender of the identity and address of the assignee. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, after an Assignment, the assigning Lender (in addition to the assignee) shall continue to have the benefits of any indemnifications contained in this Agreement that such assigning Lender had prior to such assignment with respect to matters occurring prior to the date of such assignment.
(e)Β Β Β Β If, pursuant to this Section 9.7, any interest in this Agreement or any Note is transferred to any transferee that is not a U.S. Person, the transferor Lender shall cause such transferee, concurrently with the effectiveness of such transfer,Β (i) to furnish to the transferor Lender either Form W-8BEN or Form W-8ECI or any other form in order to establish an exemption from, or reduction in the rate of, U.S. withholding tax on all interest payments
hereunder, and (ii)Β to agree (for the benefit of Lender and Borrower) to provide the transferor Lender a new Form W-8BEN or Form W-8ECI or any forms reasonably requested in order to establish an exemption from, or reduction in the rate of, U.S. withholding tax upon the expiration or obsolescence of any previously delivered form and comparable statements in accordance with applicable U.S. laws and regulations and amendments duly executed and completed by such transferee, and to comply from time to time with all applicable U.S. laws and regulations with regard to such withholding tax exemption.
Section 9.8.Β Β Β Β 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 9.9.Β Β Β Β Preferences; Waiver of Marshalling of Assets. Lender shall have no obligation to marshal any assets in favor of Borrower or any other party or against or in payment of any or all of the obligations of Borrower pursuant to this Agreement, the Notes or any other Loan Document. 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 and under the Loan Documents. To the extent Borrower makes a payment or payments to Lender, which payment or proceeds or any portion 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 portion 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. To the fullest extent permitted by law, Borrower, for itself and its permitted successors and assigns, waives all rights to a marshalling of the assets of Borrower, and Borrowerβs partners and others with interests in Borrower, or to a sale in inverse order of alienation in the event of foreclosure of the Mortgage, 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 Property for the collection of the Indebtedness without any prior or different resort for collection or of the right of Lender to the payment of the Indebtedness out of the net proceeds of the Properties in preference to every other claimant whatsoever. In addition, to the fullest extent permitted by law, Borrower, for itself and its successors and assigns, waives in the event of foreclosure of the Mortgage, any legal right otherwise available to Borrower that would require the separate sale of any Collateral or require Lender to exhaust its remedies against any Collateral before proceeding against any other Collateral; and further in the event of such foreclosure, Borrower does hereby expressly consent to and authorize, at the option of Lender, the foreclosure and sale either separately or together of any combination of the Collateral.
Section 9.10.Β Β Β Β Remedies of Borrower. If a claim is made that Lender or its agents have unreasonably delayed acting or acted unreasonably in any case where by law or under this
Agreement, the Notes, the Mortgage or the other Loan Documents, any of such Persons has an obligation to act promptly or reasonably, Borrower agrees that no such Person shall be liable for any monetary damages, and Borrowerβs sole remedy shall be limited to commencing an action seeking specific performance, injunctive relief and/or declaratory judgment. Without in any way limiting the foregoing, Borrower shall not assert, and hereby waives, any claim against Lender and/or its Affiliates, directors, employees, attorneys, agents or sub-agents, on any theory of liability, for direct, special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages (whether or not the claim therefor is based on contract, tort or duty imposed by any applicable legal requirement) arising out of, as a result of, or in any way related to, the Loan Agreement or any other Loan Document or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby or thereby or referred to herein or therein, the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, the Loan or the use of the proceeds thereof or any act or omission or event occurring in connection therewith, and Borrower hereby waives, releases and agrees not to xxx upon any such claim for any such damages, whether or not accrued and whether or not known or suspected to exist in its favor.
Section 9.11.Β Β Β Β Offsets, Counterclaims and Defenses. All payments made by Borrower hereunder or under the other Loan Documents shall be made irrespective of, and without any deduction for, any setoffs or counterclaims. Borrower waives the right to assert a counterclaim, other than a mandatory or compulsory counterclaim, in any action or proceeding brought against it by Lender arising out of or in any way connected with the Notes, this Agreement, the other Loan Documents or the Indebtedness. Any assignee of Lenderβs interest in the Loan shall take the same free and clear of all offsets, counterclaims or defenses that are unrelated to the Loan.
Section 9.12.Β Β Β Β No Joint Venture. Nothing in this Agreement 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 any Property other than that of mortgagee or lender.
Section 9.13.Β Β Β Β Conflict; Construction of Documents. In the event of any conflict between the provisions of this Agreement and the provisions of the Notes, the Mortgage or any of the other Loan Documents, the provisions of this Agreement shall prevail.
Section 9.14.Β Β Β Β Brokers and Financial Advisors. Borrower and Sponsor each represent that they have dealt with no financial advisors, brokers, underwriters, placement agents, agents or finders in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. Borrower and Sponsor each agree, jointly and severally, to indemnify and hold Lender harmless from and against any and all claims, liabilities, costs and expenses of any kind in any way relating to or arising from a claim by any Person that such Person acted on behalf of Borrower in connection with the transactions contemplated in this Agreement. The provisions of this SectionΒ 9.14 shall survive the expiration and termination of this Agreement and the repayment of the Indebtedness.
Section 9.15.Β Β Β Β Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which when so executed and delivered shall be an original, but all of which shall together constitute one and the same instrument. Copies of originals, including copies
delivered by facsimile, pdf or other electronic means shall have the same import and effect as original counterparts and shall be valid, enforceable and binding for the purposes of this Agreement.
Section 9.16.Β Β Β Β Estoppel Certificates.
(a)Β Β Β Β Borrower agrees at any time and from time to time, to execute, acknowledge and deliver to Lender, within five days after receipt of Lenderβs written request therefor, a statement in writing setting forth (A)Β the Principal Indebtedness, (B)Β the date on which installments of interest and/or principal were last paid, (C)Β any offsets or defenses to the payment of the Indebtedness, (D)Β that the Notes, this Agreement, the Mortgage and the other Loan Documents are valid, legal and binding obligations and have not been modified or if modified, giving particulars of such modification, (E) that neither Borrower nor, to Borrowerβs knowledge, Lender, is in default under the Loan Documents (or specifying any such default), (F) that all Leases are in full force and effect and have not been modified (except in accordance with the Loan Documents), (G) whether or not any of the Tenants under the Leases are in material default under the Leases (setting forth the specific nature of any such material defaults) and (H) such other matters as Lender may reasonably request. Any prospective purchaser of any interest in a Loan shall be permitted to rely on such certificate.
(b)Β Β Β Β Upon Lenderβs written request, Borrower shall use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain from each Tenant whose Lease requires such Tenant to execute and deliver an estoppel certificate, and shall thereafter promptly deliver to Lender duly executed estoppel certificates from any one or more Tenants under the Leases as requested by Lender, attesting to such facts regarding the Leases as Lender may reasonably require, including, but not limited to, attestations that each Lease covered thereby is in full force and effect with no material defaults thereunder on the part of any party, that rent has not been paid more than one month in advance, except as security, and that the Tenant claims no defense or offset against the full and timely performance of its obligations under the Lease. Borrower shall not be required to deliver such certificates more frequently than one time in any 12-month period, other than the 12-month period during which a Securitization occurs or is attempted.
Section 9.17.Β Β Β Β General Indemnity; Payment of Expenses; Mortgage Recording Taxes.
(g)Β Β Β Β Borrower, at its sole cost and expense, shall protect, indemnify, reimburse, defend and hold harmless Lender and its officers, partners, members, directors, trustees, advisors, employees, agents, sub-agents, Affiliates, successors, participants and assigns of any and all of the foregoing (collectively, the βIndemnified Partiesβ) for, from and against, and shall be responsible for, any and all Damages of any kind or nature whatsoever that may be imposed on, incurred by, or asserted against any of the Indemnified Parties arising out of (i) any negligence or tortious act or omission on the part of Borrower, Operating Lessee, Sponsor or any of their respective agents, contractors, servants, employees, sublessees, licensees or invitees; (ii) any accident, injury to or death of persons or loss of or damage to property occurring in, on or about the Property or any part thereof or on the adjoining sidewalks, curbs, adjacent property or adjacent parking areas, streets or ways; (iii) any use, nonuse or condition in, on or about the
Property any part thereof or on adjoining sidewalks, curbs, adjacent property or adjacent parking areas, streets or ways; (iv) any failure on the part of Borrower, Operating Lessee or Sponsor to perform or comply with any of the terms of the Loan Documents; (v) performance of any labor or services or the furnishing of any materials or other property in respect of the Property or any part thereof; (vi) any failure of the Property, Borrower, Operating Lessee or Sponsor to comply with any Legal Requirements; (vii) any claim by brokers, finders or similar persons claiming to be entitled to a commission in connection with any lease or other transaction involving the Property or any part thereof under any legal requirement or any liability asserted against any Indemnified Party with respect thereto; and (viii) any and all claims and demands whatsoever that may be asserted against any Indemnified Party by reason of any alleged obligations or undertakings on such partyβs part to perform or discharge any of the terms, covenants, or agreements contained in any Lease, in each case, to the extent resulting, directly or indirectly, from any claim (including any Environmental Claim) made (whether or not in connection with any legal action, suit, or proceeding) by or on behalf of any Person; provided, however, that no Indemnified Party shall have the right to be indemnified hereunder to the extent that such Damages have been found by a final, non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnified Party.
(h)Β Β Β Β If for any reason (including violation of law or public policy) the undertakings to defend, indemnify, pay and hold harmless set forth in this Section 9.17 are unenforceable in whole or in part or are otherwise unavailable to Lender or insufficient to hold it harmless, then Borrower shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by Lender as a result of any Damages the maximum amount Borrower is permitted to pay under Legal Requirements. The obligations of Borrower under this Section 9.17 will be in addition to any liability that Borrower may otherwise have hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, will extend upon the same terms and conditions to any Affiliate of Lender and the partners, members, directors, agents, employees and controlling persons (if any), as the case may be, of Lender and any such Affiliate, and will be binding upon and inure to the benefit of any successors, assigns, heirs and personal representatives of Borrower, Lender, any such Affiliate and any such person.
(i)Β Β Β Β At the option of the Indemnified Parties and in their sole discretion, upon written request by any Indemnified Party, Borrower shall defend such Indemnified Party (if requested by any Indemnified Party, in the name of the Indemnified Party) by attorneys and other professionals reasonably approved by such Indemnified Party.

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, Borrower and Indemnified Parties 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 Lenderβs sole discretion, Lender deems it advisable or desirable to do so.

(v)Β Β Β Β the incurrence of voluntary Debt of Borrower or Operating Lessee prohibited hereunder, provided that, for the purpose of this clause (v), Debt will be regarded as voluntary if such Debt is incurred voluntarily or incurred involuntarily and not repaid despite the availability of sufficient cash flow from the Property and Lender permits such cash flow to be used to repay such Debt;

(xii)Β Β Β Β the failure of Borrower and Operating Lessee to renew the term of any Operating Lease; and
(xiii)Β Β Β Β the failure of Borrower to maintain the required account balance in the Borrower FF&E Account (it being agreed that Damages in such event shall include the amount of any funds not deposited to the Borrower FF&E Account);
In addition to the foregoing, the Loan shall be fully recourse to Borrower and Sponsor, jointly and severally, upon (A) any Change of Control, unauthorized Transfer of any portion of one or more of the Properties constituting real property or unauthorized Liens and encumbrances on any portion of one or more of the Properties constituting real property (except for mechanicβs liens and similar Liens that are addressed by Borrower or Operating Lessee in accordance with clause (iv) of the definition of Permitted Encumbrances), in each case, in violation of the Loan Documents, (B) the occurrence of any filing by any of Borrower, Operating Lessee or Operating Lessee Pledgor under the Bankruptcy Code or any joining or colluding by any of Borrower, Operating Lessee or Operating Pledgor or any of their respective Affiliates (including Sponsor) with the intent to cause the filing of an involuntary case in respect of any Borrower or Operating Lessee under the Bankruptcy Code (provided, however, that if such involuntary case is dismissed within 60 days of such filing the Loan shall not be fully recourse to Borrower and Sponsor, however Borrower and Sponsor shall indemnify Lender and hold Lender harmless from and against any and all Damages to Lender arising from or related to the filing of such involuntary case) or (C) the failure of any Borrower, Operating Lessee or Operating Lessee Pledgor to be, and to at all times have been, a Single-Purpose Entity, which failure results in a substantive consolidation of such Borrower with any Affiliate (other than a co-Borrower under the Loan) in a bankruptcy or similar proceeding (or the filing of a motion by any Person other than Lender for substantive consolidation in bankruptcy citing any such failure, provided, however, that if such motion is dismissed within 120 days of filing the Loan shall not be fully recourse to Borrower and Sponsor, however Borrower and Sponsor shall indemnify Lender and hold Lender harmless from and against any and all Damages to Lender arising from or related to such motion). The Loan shall be fully recourse to Sponsor in an amount equal to its unpaid Guaranteed Obligations (as such term is defined in the Completion Guaranty) under the Completion Guaranty. The liability of the Persons comprising Sponsor for each of clauses (i) through (xvi) and (A), (B) and (C) of this Section 9.19(b) shall be either several or joint and several, as described in the Guaranty.
(c)Β Β Β Β The foregoing limitations on personal liability shall in no way impair or constitute a waiver of the validity of the Notes, the Indebtedness secured by the Collateral, or the Liens on the Collateral, or the right of Lender, as mortgagee or secured party, to foreclose and/or enforce its rights with respect to the Collateral after an Event of Default. Nothing in this Agreement shall be deemed to be a waiver of any right which Lender may have under the Bankruptcy Code to file a claim for the full amount of the debt owing to Lender by Borrower or to require that all Collateral shall continue to secure all of the Indebtedness owing to Lender in accordance with the Loan Documents. Lender may seek a judgment on the Note (and, if necessary, name Borrower in such suit) as part of judicial proceedings to foreclose under the Mortgage or to foreclose pursuant to any other Loan Documents, or as a prerequisite to any such foreclosure or to confirm any foreclosure or sale pursuant to power of sale thereunder, and in the event any suit is brought on the Notes, or with respect to any Indebtedness or any judgment rendered in such judicial proceedings, such judgment shall constitute a Lien on and will be and can be enforced on and against the Collateral and the rents, profits, issues, products and proceeds thereof. Nothing in this Agreement shall impair the right of Lender to accelerate the maturity of the Note upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, nor shall anything in this Agreement impair or be construed to impair the right of Lender to seek personal judgments, and to enforce all rights and remedies under applicable law, jointly and severally against any guarantors to the extent allowed by any applicable guarantees. The provisions set forth in this Section 9.19 are not intended as a release or discharge of the obligations due under the Note or under any Loan Documents, but are intended as a limitation, to the extent provided in this Section, on Lenderβs right to xxx for a deficiency or seek a personal judgment against Borrower or Sponsor except as required in order to realize on the Collateral.
Section 9.20.Β Β Β Β Right of Set-Off. In addition to any rights now or hereafter granted under applicable law or otherwise, and not by way of limitation of any such rights, during the continuance of an Event of Default, Lender may from time to time, without presentment, demand, protest or other notice of any kind (all of such rights being hereby expressly waived), set-off and appropriate and apply any and all deposits (general or special) and any other indebtedness at any time held or owing by Lender (including branches, agencies or Affiliates of Lender wherever located) to or for the credit or the account of Borrower against the obligations and liabilities of Borrower to Lender hereunder, under the Notes, the other Loan Documents or otherwise, irrespective of whether Lender shall have made any demand hereunder and although such obligations, liabilities or claims, or any of them, may be contingent or unmatured, and any such set-off shall be deemed to have been made immediately upon the occurrence of an Event of Default even though such charge is made or entered on the books of Lender subsequent thereto.
Section 9.21.Β Β Β Β Exculpation of Lender. Lender neither undertakes nor assumes any responsibility or duty to Borrower or any other party to select, review, inspect, examine, supervise, pass judgment upon or inform Borrower or any third party of (a)Β the existence, quality, adequacy or suitability of Appraisals of the Properties or other Collateral, (b)Β any environmental report, or (c)Β any other matters or items, including engineering, soils and seismic reports that are contemplated in the Loan Documents. Any such selection, review, inspection, examination and the like, and any other due diligence conducted by Lender, is solely for the purpose of protecting
Lenderβs rights under the Loan Documents, and shall not render Lender liable to Borrower or any third party for the existence, sufficiency, accuracy, completeness or legality thereof.
Section 9.22.Β Β Β Β Servicer. Lender may delegate any and all rights and obligations of Lender hereunder and under the other Loan Documents to the Servicer upon notice by Lender to Borrower, whereupon any notice or consent from the Servicer to Borrower, and any action by Servicer on Lenderβs behalf, shall have the same force and effect as if Servicer were Lender. Lender shall consult with Borrower with respect to Lenderβs choice of master and special servicers; provided, however, that no such consultation shall be binding on Lender.
Section 9.23.Β Β Β Β No Fiduciary Duty.
(b)Β Β Β Β Borrower acknowledges that, in connection with this Agreement, the other Loan Documents and the Transaction, Lender has relied upon and assumed the accuracy and completeness of all of the financial, legal, regulatory, accounting, tax and other information provided to, discussed with or reviewed by Lender for such purposes, and Lender does not assume any liability therefor or responsibility for the accuracy, completeness or independent verification thereof. Lender, its Affiliates and their respective stockholders and employees (for purposes of this Section, the βLending Partiesβ) have no obligation to conduct any independent evaluation or appraisal of the assets or liabilities (including any contingent, derivative or off-balance sheet assets and liabilities) of Sponsor, Borrower or any other Person or any of their respective Affiliates or to advise or opine on any related solvency or viability issues.
(c)Β Β Β Β It is understood and agreed that (i) the Lending Parties shall act under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents as an independent contractor, (ii) the Transaction is an armβs-length commercial transactions between the Lending Parties, on the one hand, and Borrower, on the other, (iii) each Lending Party is acting solely as principal and not as the agent or fiduciary of Borrower, Sponsor or their respective Affiliates, stockholders, employees or creditors or any other Person and (iv) nothing in this Agreement, the other Loan Documents, the Transaction or otherwise shall be deemed to create (a) a fiduciary duty (or other implied duty) on the party of any Lending Party to Sponsor, Borrower, any of their respective Affiliates, stockholders, employees or creditors, or any other Person or (b) a fiduciary or agency relationship between Sponsor, Borrower or any of their respective Affiliates, stockholders, employees or creditors, on the one hand, and the Lending Parties, on the other. Borrower agrees that neither it nor Sponsor nor any of their respective Affiliates shall make, and hereby waives, any claim against the Lending Parties based on an assertion that any Lending Party has rendered advisory services of any nature or respect, or owes a fiduciary or similar duty to Borrower, Sponsor of their respective Affiliates, stockholders, employees or creditors. Nothing in this Agreement or the other Loan Documents is intended to confer upon any other Person (including Affiliates, stockholders, employees or creditors of Borrower and Sponsor) any rights or remedies by reason of any fiduciary or similar duty.
(d)Β Β Β Β Borrower acknowledges that it has been advised that the Lending Parties are a full service financial services firm engaged, either directly or through Affiliates in various activities, including securities trading, investment banking and financial advisory, investment management, principal investment, hedging, financing and brokerage activities and financial
planning and benefits counseling for both companies and individuals. In the ordinary course of these activities, the Lending Parties may make or hold a broad array of investments and actively trade debt and equity securities (or related derivative securities) and/or financial instruments (including loans) for their own account and for the accounts of their customers and may at any time hold long and short positions in such securities and/or instruments. Such investment and other activities may involve securities and instruments of Affiliates of Borrower, including Sponsor, as well as of other Persons that may (i) be involved in transactions arising from or relating to the Transaction, (ii) be customers or competitors of Borrower, Sponsor and/or their respective Affiliates, or (iii) have other relationships with Borrower, Sponsor and/or their respective Affiliates. In addition, the Lending Parties may provide investment banking, underwriting and financial advisory services to such other Persons. The Lending Parties may also co-invest with, make direct investments in, and invest or co-invest client monies in or with funds or other investment vehicles managed by other parties, and such funds or other investment vehicles may trade or make investments in securities of Affiliates of Borrower, including Sponsor, or such other Persons. The Transaction may have a direct or indirect impact on the investments, securities or instruments referred to in this paragraph. Although the Lending Parties in the course of such other activities and relationships may acquire information about the Transaction or other Persons that may be the subject of the Transaction, the Lending Parties shall have no obligation to disclose such information, or the fact that the Lending Parties are in possession of such information, to Borrower, Sponsor or any of their respective Affiliates or to use such information on behalf of Borrower, Sponsor or any of their respective Affiliates.
(e)Β Β Β Β Borrower acknowledges and agrees that Borrower has consulted its own legal and financial advisors to the extent it deemed appropriate and that it is responsible for making its own independent judgment with respect to this Agreement, the other Loan Documents, the Transaction and the process leading thereto.
Section 9.24.Β Β Β Β Borrower Information. Borrower shall make available to Lender all information concerning its business and operations that Lender may reasonably request, provided that disclosure of such information does not and will not violate any securities laws or violate the terms of any confidentiality agreement between Borrower and/or any Affiliate of Borrower on the one hand, and any third party, on the other hand. Lender shall have the right to disclose any and all information provided to Lender by Borrower or Sponsor regarding Borrower, Sponsor, the Loan and the Properties (i) to Affiliates of Lender and to Lenderβs agents and advisors, (ii) to any bona fide or potential assignee, transferee or participant in connection with the contemplated assignment, transfer, participation or Securitization of all or any portion of the Loan or any participations therein or by any direct or indirect contractual counterparties (or the professional advisors thereto) to any swap or derivative transaction relating to Borrower and its obligations, in each case, to the extent reasonably required by such Person, (iii) to any Rating Agency in connection with a Securitization or as otherwise required in connection with a disposition of the Loan, (iv) to any Person necessary or desirable in connection with the exercise of any remedies hereunder or under any other Loan Document, (v) to any governmental agency or representative thereof or by the National Association of Insurance Commissioners or pursuant to legal or judicial process and (vi) in any Disclosure Document (as defined in the Cooperation Agreement). In addition, Lender may disclose the existence of this Agreement and the
information about this Agreement to market data collectors, similar services providers to the lending industry, and service providers to Lender in connection with the administration and management of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. Each party hereto (and each of their respective Affiliates, employees, representatives or other agents) may disclose to any and all Persons, without limitation of any kind, the tax treatment and tax structure of the Transaction and all materials of any kind (including opinions and other tax analyses) that are provided to any such party relating to such tax treatment and tax structure. For the purpose of this Section 9.24, βtax structureβ means any facts relevant to the federal income tax treatment of the Transaction but does not include information relating to the identity of any of the parties hereto or any of their respective Affiliates.
Section 9.25.Β Β Β Β PATRIOT Act Records. Lender hereby notifies Borrower that pursuant to the requirements of the PATRIOT Act, it is required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies Borrower and Sponsor, which information includes the name and address of Borrower and Sponsor and other information that will allow Lender to identify Borrower or Sponsor in accordance with the PATRIOT Act.
Section 9.26.Β Β Β Β Prior Agreements. THIS AGREEMENT AND THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS CONTAIN THE ENTIRE AGREEMENT OF THE PARTIES HERETO AND THERETO IN RESPECT OF THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY AND THEREBY, AND ALL PRIOR AGREEMENTS AMONG OR BETWEEN SUCH PARTIES, WHETHER ORAL OR WRITTEN, INCLUDING ANY TERM SHEETS, CONFIDENTIALITY AGREEMENTS AND COMMITMENT LETTERS, ARE SUPERSEDED BY THE TERMS OF THIS AGREEMENT AND THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS (EXCEPT THAT ANY ORIGINATION FEE SPECIFIED IN ANY TERM SHEET, COMMITMENT LETTER OR FEE LETTER SHALL BE AN OBLIGATION OF BORROWER AND SHALL BE PAID AT CLOSING, AND ANY INDEMNIFICATIONS, FLEX PROVISION, EXIT FEES AND THE LIKE PROVIDED FOR THEREIN SHALL SURVIVE THE CLOSING).
Section 9.27.Β Β Β Β Publicity. If the Loan is made, Lender may issue press releases, advertisements and other promotional materials describing in general terms or in detail Lenderβs participation in such transaction, and may utilize photographs of the Properties in such promotional materials; provided, however, that in the case of any press release, Borrower shall have the right to reasonably approve the same within one Business Day of its receipt of the text of any such press release (and Borrowerβs failure to grant or withhold such consent within such one Business Day period shall be deemed consent by Borrower to such press release). Borrower shall not make any references to Lender in any press release, advertisement or promotional material issued by Borrower or Sponsor, unless Lender shall have approved of the same in writing prior to the issuance of such press release, advertisement or promotional material.
Section 9.28.Β Β Β Β Delay Not a Waiver. Neither any failure nor any delay on the part of Lender in insisting upon strict performance of any term, condition, covenant or agreement, or exercising any right, power, remedy or privilege hereunder, or under the Note or under any other Loan Document, or under any other instrument given as security therefor, shall operate as or
constitute a waiver thereof, nor shall a single or partial exercise thereof preclude any other future exercise, or the exercise of any other right, power, remedy or privilege. In particular, and not by way of limitation, by accepting payment after the due date of any amount payable under this Agreement, the Note or any other Loan Document, Lender shall not be deemed to have waived any right either to require prompt payment when due of all other amounts due under this Agreement, the Note or the other Loan Documents, or to declare a default for failure to effect prompt payment of any such other amount.
Section 9.29.Β Β Β Β Schedules and Exhibits Incorporated. The Schedules and Exhibits 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 9.30.Β Β Β Β Independence of Covenants. All covenants hereunder shall be given independent effect so that if a particular action or condition is not permitted by any of such covenants, the fact that it would be permitted by an exception to, or would otherwise be within the limitations of, another covenant shall not avoid the occurrence of a Default or an Event of Default if such action is taken or condition exists.
Section 9.31.Β Β Β Β Joint and Several Liability. The representations, covenants, warranties and obligations of Borrower hereunder are joint and several. In the event of (a) any payment by any one or more of the Borrowers of any amount in excess of its respective Proportional Amount, or (b) the foreclosure of, or the delivery of deeds in lieu of foreclosure relating to, any of the Collateral owned by one or more of the Borrowers, each Borrower (the βOverpaying Borrowerβ) that has paid more than its Proportional Amount or whose Collateral or assets have been utilized to satisfy obligations under the Loan or otherwise for the benefit of one or more other Borrowers shall be entitled, after payment in full of the Note and the satisfaction of all the Borrowersβ other obligations to the Lender under the Loan Documents, to contribution from each of the benefited Borrowers (i.e., the Borrowers, other than the Overpaying Borrower, who have paid less than their respective Proportional Amount or whose Collateral or assets have not been so utilized to satisfy obligations under the Loan) for the amounts so paid, advanced or benefited, up to such benefited Borrowerβs then current Proportional Amount. Such right to contribution shall be subordinate in all respects to the Loan. As used herein, the βProportional Amountβ with respect to any Borrower shall equal the amount derived as follows: (a) the ratio of the aggregate amount of the Loan allocable to the Property or Properties in which such Borrower has an interest to the then outstanding Principal Amount; times (b) the aggregate amount paid or payable by the Borrowers under the Loan Documents (including interest).
