funds obtained by it in order to maintain the Eurodollar Rate, (II) any prepayment (whether voluntary or mandatory) of the Loan on a day that (A) is not the Payment Date immediately prior to the last day of an Interest Period with respect thereto or (B) is the Payment Date immediately prior to the last day of an Interest Period with respect thereto if Borrower did not give the prior written notice of such prepayment required pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, including, without limitation, such loss or expense arising from interest or fees payable by Lender to lenders of funds obtained by it in order to maintain the Eurodollar Rate hereunder and (III) the conversion (for any reason whatsoever, whether voluntary or involuntary) of the Applicable Interest Rate from the Eurodollar Rate to the Adjusted Prime Rate with respect to any portion of the outstanding principal amount of the Loan then bearing interest at the Eurodollar Rate on a date other than the Payment Date immediately prior the last day of an Interest Period, including, without limitation, such loss or expenses arising from interest or fees payable by Lender to lenders of funds obtained by it in order to maintain the Eurodollar Rate hereunder (the amounts referred to in clauses (I), (II) and (III) are herein referred to collectively as the “Breakage Costs”). This provision shall survive payment of the Loan in full and the satisfaction of all other obligations of Borrower under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.
2.2.4 Payment on Maturity Date.
Borrower shall pay to Lender on the Maturity Date the outstanding principal balance, all accrued and unpaid interest thereon, and all other amounts due hereunder and under the Note, the Security Instrument, and the other Loan Documents.
2.2.5 Payments after Default.
Except as provided in Section 3.23 hereof, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, (a) interest on the outstanding principal balance of the Loan and, to the extent permitted by law, overdue interest and other amounts due in respect of the Loan, shall accrue at the Default Rate, calculated from the date such payment was due without regard to any grace or cure periods contained herein and (b) Lender shall be entitled to receive and Borrower shall pay to Lender on each Payment Date an amount equal to the Excess Cash Flow for the prior month, such amount to be applied by Lender to the payment of the Debt in such order as Lender shall determine in its sole discretion, including, without limitation, alternating applications thereof between interest and principal. Interest at the Default Rate and Excess Cash Flow shall be computed from the occurrence of the Event of Default until the actual receipt and collection of the Debt (or that portion thereof that is then due). To the extent permitted by applicable law, interest at the Default Rate shall be added to the Debt, shall itself accrue interest at the same rate as the Loan and shall be secured by the Security Instrument. This paragraph shall not be construed as an agreement or privilege to extend the date of the payment of the Debt, nor as a waiver of any other right or remedy accruing to Lender by reason of the occurrence and continuance of any Event of Default; the acceptance of any payment of Excess Cash Flow shall not be deemed to cure or constitute a waiver of any Event of Default; and Lender retains its rights under the Note to accelerate and continue to demand payment of the Debt upon the happening and during the continuance of any Event of Default, despite any payment of Excess Cash Flow.
2.2.6 Late Payment Charge.
Except as provided in Section 3.23 hereof, if any Monthly Debt Service Payment Amount is not paid by Borrower on the date on which it is due, Borrower shall pay to Lender upon
- 29 -
demand an amount equal to the lesser of five percent (5%) of such unpaid sum or the maximum amount permitted by applicable law in order to defray 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. Any such amount shall be secured by the Security Instrument and the other Loan Documents to the extent permitted by applicable law.
2.2.7 Usury Savings.
This Agreement and the Note are subject to the express condition that at no time shall Borrower be obligated or required to pay interest on the principal balance of the Loan at a rate which could subject Lender to either civil or criminal liability as a result of being in excess of the Maximum Legal Rate. If, by the terms of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, Borrower is at any time required or obligated to pay interest on the principal balance due hereunder at a rate in excess of the Maximum Legal Rate, the Applicable Interest Rate or the Default Rate, as the case may be, shall be deemed to be immediately reduced to the Maximum Legal Rate and all previous payments in excess of the Maximum Legal Rate shall be deemed to have been payments in reduction of principal and not on account of the interest due hereunder. All sums paid or agreed to be paid to Lender for the use, forbearance, or detention of the sums due under the Loan, shall, to the extent permitted by applicable law, be amortized, prorated, allocated, and spread throughout the full stated term of the Loan until payment in full so that the rate or amount of interest on account of the Loan does not exceed the Maximum Legal Rate of interest from time to time in effect and applicable to the Loan for so long as the Loan is outstanding.
2.2.8 Taxes.
If the Loan is bearing interest at the Eurodollar Rate, all payments made by Borrower hereunder shall be made free and clear of, and without reduction for or on account of, Foreign Taxes, excluding, in the case of Lender, taxes measured by its net income, and franchise taxes imposed on it, by the jurisdiction under the laws of which Lender is organized or any political subdivision thereof and, in the case of Lender, taxes measured by its overall net income, and franchise taxes imposed on it, by the jurisdiction of Lender’s applicable lending office or any political subdivision thereof. If any non-excluded Foreign Taxes are required to be withheld from any amounts payable to Lender hereunder (and such Foreign Taxes are not a result of activities of Lender unrelated to the Loan or Borrower), the amounts so payable to Lender shall be increased to the extent necessary to yield to Lender (after payment of all non-excluded Foreign Taxes) interest or any such other amounts payable hereunder at the rate or in the amounts specified hereunder. Whenever any non-excluded Foreign Tax is payable pursuant to applicable law by Borrower, Borrower shall send to Lender an original official receipt, if available, or certified copy thereof showing payment of such non-excluded Foreign Tax. Borrower hereby indemnifies Lender for any incremental taxes, interest or penalties that may become payable by Lender which may result from any failure by Borrower to pay any such non-excluded Foreign Tax when due to the appropriate taxing authority of which Lender has used its commercially reasonable efforts to provide Borrower with prior written notice of or any failure by Borrower to remit to Lender the required receipts or other required documentary evidence, provided, however, in the event that Lender or any successor and/or assign of Lender is not incorporated under the laws of the United States of America or a state thereof Lender agrees that, prior to the first date on which any payment is due such entity hereunder, it will deliver to Borrower (i) two duly completed copies of United States Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN or W-8ECI or successor applicable form, as the case may be, certifying in each case that such entity is entitled
- 30 -
to receive payments under the Note, without deduction or withholding of any United States federal income taxes, and (ii) an Internal Revenue Service Form W-9 or successor applicable form, as the case may be, to establish an exemption from United States backup withholding tax. Each entity required to deliver to Borrower a Form W-8BEN or W-8ECI or Form W-9 pursuant to the preceding sentence further undertakes to deliver to Borrower two further copies of the said letter and W-8BEN or W-8ECI or Form W-9, or successor applicable forms, or other manner of certification, as the case may be, on or before the date that any such letter or form expires (which, in the case of the Form W-8ECI, is the last day of each U.S. taxable year of the non-U.S. entity) or becomes obsolete or after the occurrence of any event requiring a change in the most recent letter and form previously delivered by it to Borrower, and such other extensions or renewals thereof as may reasonably be requested by Borrower, certifying in the case of a Form W-8BEN or W-8ECI that such entity is entitled to receive payments under the Note without deduction or withholding of any United States federal income taxes, unless in any such case an event (including, without limitation, any change in treaty, law or regulation) has occurred prior to the date on which any such delivery would otherwise be required which renders all such forms inapplicable or which would prevent such entity from duly completing and delivering any such letter or form with respect to it and such entity advises Borrower that it is not capable of receiving payments without any deduction or withholding of United States federal income tax, and in the case of a Form W-9, establishing an exemption from United States backup withholding tax. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if such entity fails to provide a duly completed Form W-8BEN or W-8ECI or other applicable form and, under applicable law, in order to avoid liability for Foreign Taxes, Borrower is required to withhold on payments made to such entity that has failed to provide the applicable form, Borrower shall be entitled to withhold the appropriate amount of Foreign Taxes. In such event, Borrower shall promptly provide to such entity evidence of payment of such Foreign Taxes to the appropriate taxing authority and shall promptly forward to such entity any official tax receipts or other documentation with respect to the payment of the Foreign Taxes as may be issued by the taxing authority.
Section 2.3 Prepayments.
2.3.1 Voluntary Prepayments.
Except as otherwise provided herein, Borrower shall not have the right to prepay the Loan in whole or part prior to the expiration of the Lockout Period.

(c) each prepayment shall be in an aggregate principal amount of $1,000,000.00 or any integral multiple of $100,000.00 in excess thereof;

In the event the Loan is prepaid after the expiration of the Lockout Period, no Spread Maintenance Payment shall be due, provided however, Borrower shall pay all other sums required to be paid pursuant to the Note, this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.
2.3.2 Mandatory Prepayments.
(a) On the next occurring Payment Date following the date on which Borrower actually receives any Net Proceeds, including prior to the expiration of the Lockout Period, if and to the extent Lender is not obligated to and does not otherwise make such Net Proceeds available to Borrower for the restoration of the Property, Borrower shall prepay the outstanding principal balance of the Note in an amount equal to one hundred percent (100%) of such Net Proceeds. Any partial prepayment under this Section 2.3.2 shall be applied to the last payments of principal due under the Loan. All Net Proceeds applied pursuant to this Section 2.3.2(a) shall be applied to the Loan and no portion of the Net Proceeds shall be applied to the Mezzanine Loan.
(b) Borrower shall have the right at any time to obtain a release of the Property if Lender has elected to apply the Net Proceeds of a Casualty or Condemnation of the Property towards the reduction of the then outstanding principal balance of the Note pursuant to this Section 2.3.2, provided, that, (i) no Event of Default has occurred and shall be continuing under this Agreement, the Note, the Security Instrument or any of the other Loan Documents, (ii) Borrower pays all accrued and unpaid interest on the amount of principal being prepaid through the date of prepayment, (iii) Borrower pays all Breakage Costs, if any, without duplications of the amounts provided for the proceeding clause (ii) above, and (iv) Borrower pays all other sums then due under this Agreement, the Note, and the other Loan Documents.

If, following an Event of Default, Lender shall accelerate the Debt and Borrower thereafter tenders payment of all or any part of the Debt, or if all or any portion of the Debt is recovered by Lender after such Event of Default such tender or recovery shall be deemed a voluntary prepayment by Borrower in violation of the prohibition against prepayment of the Loan prior to the Lockout Period and Borrower shall pay in addition to the Debt, (i) the Interest Shortfall, (ii) Breakage Costs, if any, without duplication of any sums paid pursuant to the preceding clause (i), and (iii) all other sums due and payable under the Note, this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.

Whenever any payment hereunder or under the Note shall be stated to be due on a day which is not a Business Day, such payment shall be made on the first Business Day succeeding such scheduled due date. All payments made by Borrower hereunder or under the Note or the other Loan Documents shall be made irrespective of, and without any deduction for, any setoff, defense or counterclaims.

Section 2.4 Interest Rate Cap Agreement.
(a) Upon the occurrence of an Interest Rate Cap Event, Borrower shall obtain and shall thereafter maintain in effect, an Interest Rate Cap Agreement, which shall be coterminous with the Loan (as the same may be extended) and have a notional amount which shall not at any time be less than the outstanding principal balance of the Loan and which shall at all times have a strike rate equal to the Strike Rate. The Counterparty shall be obligated under the Interest Rate Cap Agreement to make monthly payments equal to the excess of 1 month LIBOR over the Strike Rate, calculated on the notional amount with interest accrual periods and payment dates that match those of the Loan. The notional amount of the Interest Rate Cap Agreement may be reduced from time to time in amounts equal to any prepayment of the principal of the Loan in accordance with Sections 2.3 and 2.5 hereof.
(b) Borrower shall collaterally assign to Lender pursuant to an Assignment of Interest Rate Cap Agreement substantially in the form annexed hereto as Exhibit C, all of its right, title and interest to receive any and all payments under the Interest Rate Cap Agreement (and any related guarantee, if any) and shall deliver to Lender an executed counterpart of such Interest Rate Cap Agreement and notify the Counterparty of such collateral assignment (either in such Interest Rate Cap Agreement or by separate instrument). The Counterparty shall agree in writing to make all payments it is required to make under the Interest Rate Cap Agreement directly to Lender or such other entity or account as directed by Lender.

Borrower shall take all actions reasonably requested by Lender to enforce Lender’s rights under the Interest Rate Cap Agreement in the event of a default by the Counterparty and shall not waive, amend or otherwise modify any of its rights thereunder.

(e) In the event that Borrower fails to purchase and deliver to Lender the Interest Rate Cap Agreement or any Replacement Interest Cap Agreement as and when required hereunder, Lender may purchase such Interest Rate Cap Agreement and the cost incurred by Lender in purchasing such Interest Rate Cap Agreement shall be paid by Borrower to Lender with interest thereon at the Default Rate from the date such cost was incurred by Lender until such cost is paid by Borrower to Lender.
(f) Each Interest Rate Cap Agreement shall contain the following language or its equivalent: “In the event of any downgrade, withdrawal or qualification of the rating of the Counterparty below “AA-” (or the equivalent) by the Rating Agencies, the Counterparty must, within 30 days, either (x) post collateral on terms acceptable to each Rating Agency or (y) find a replacement Acceptable Counterparty, at the Counterparty’s sole cost and expense, acceptable to each Rating Agency (notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Counterparty’s rating is downgraded to “A” or lower, only the option described in clause (y) will be acceptable); provided that, notwithstanding such a downgrade, withdrawal or qualification, unless and until the Counterparty transfers the Interest Rate Cap Agreement to a replacement Acceptable Counterparty pursuant to the foregoing clause (y), the Counterparty will continue to perform its obligations under the Interest Rate Cap Agreement. Failure to satisfy the foregoing shall constitute an Additional Termination Event as defined by Section 5(b)(v) of the ISDA Master Agreement, with the Counterparty as the Affected Party.”
(g) In connection with an Interest Rate Cap Agreement, Borrower shall obtain and deliver to Lender an opinion of counsel from counsel for the Counterparty (upon which Lender and its successors and assigns may rely) which shall provide, in relevant part, that:
(1) the Counterparty is duly organized, validly existing, and in good standing under the laws of its jurisdiction of incorporation and has the organizational power and authority to execute and deliver, and to perform its obligations under, the Interest Rate Cap Agreement;
(2) the execution and delivery of the Interest Rate Cap Agreement by the Counterparty, and any other agreement which the Counterparty has executed and delivered pursuant thereto, and the performance of its obligations thereunder have been and remain duly authorized by all necessary action and do not contravene any provision of its certificate of incorporation or by-laws (or equivalent organizational documents) or any law, regulation or contractual restriction binding on or affecting it or its property;
- 34 -
(3) all consents, authorizations and approvals required for the execution and delivery by the Counterparty of the Interest Rate Cap Agreement, and any other agreement which the Counterparty has executed and delivered pursuant thereto, and the performance of its obligations thereunder have been obtained and remain in full force and effect, all conditions thereof have been duly complied with, and no other action by, and no notice to or filing with any governmental authority or regulatory body is required for such execution, delivery or performance; and
(4) the Interest Rate Cap Agreement, and any other agreement which the Counterparty has executed and delivered pursuant thereto, has been duly executed and delivered by the Counterparty and constitutes the legal, valid and binding obligation of the Counterparty, enforceable against the Counterparty in accordance with its terms, subject to applicable bankruptcy, insolvency and similar laws affecting creditors’ rights generally, and subject, as to enforceability, to general principles of equity (regardless of whether enforcement is sought in a proceeding in equity or at law).

4.1.3 No Conflicts.
The execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents by Borrower will not conflict with or result in a breach of any of the terms or
- 43 -
provisions of, or constitute a default under, or result in the creation or imposition of any Lien, charge or encumbrance (other than pursuant to the Loan Documents) upon the property or assets of Borrower pursuant to the terms of any indenture, mortgage, deed of trust, loan agreement, partnership agreement, management agreement, franchise agreement, or other material agreement or instrument to which Borrower is a party or by which any of Borrower’s property or assets is subject, nor will such action result in any violation of the provisions of any statute or any order, rule or regulation of any court or governmental agency or body having jurisdiction over Borrower or any of Borrower’s properties or assets, and any consent, approval, authorization, order, registration or qualification of or with any court or any such regulatory authority or other governmental agency or body required for the execution, delivery and performance by Borrower of this Agreement or any other Loan Documents has been obtained and is in full force and effect.

5.1.2 Taxes and Other Charges.
Subject to Borrower’s right to contest the same in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Section 5.1.2, Borrower shall pay all Taxes and Other Charges now or hereafter levied or assessed or imposed against the Property or any part thereof as the same become due and payable; provided, however, Borrower’s obligation to directly pay Taxes shall be suspended for so long as Borrower complies with the terms and provisions of Section 7.2 hereof.

After prior written notice to Lender, Borrower, at its own expense, may contest by appropriate legal proceeding, promptly initiated and conducted in good faith and with due diligence, the amount or validity or application in whole or in part of any Taxes or Other Charges (other than the casino franchise fee imposed by Act No. 221 of May 15, 1948, as amended, of the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico) or any other Lien or charge that may become a Lien or charge against the Property, provided that (i) no Event of Default has occurred and remains uncured; (ii) such proceeding shall be permitted under and be conducted in accordance with the provisions of any other instrument to which Borrower is subject and shall not constitute a default thereunder and such proceeding shall be conducted in accordance with all applicable statutes, laws and ordinances; (iii) no Property nor any part thereof or interest therein will be in danger of being sold, forfeited, terminated, cancelled or lost; (iv) Borrower shall promptly upon final determination thereof pay the amount of any such Taxes or Other Charges or the amount necessary to discharge any Lien or satisfy any charge that may become a Lien or charge against the Property, together with all costs, interest and penalties which may be payable in connection therewith; (v) such proceeding shall suspend the collection of such contested Taxes or Other Charges from the Property; and (vi) Borrower shall furnish such security as may be required in the proceeding, or as may be reasonably requested by Lender, to insure the payment of any such Taxes or Other Charges or the amount necessary to discharge any Lien or satisfy any charge that may become a Lien or charge against the Property, together with all interest and penalties thereon.

- 61 -
respond within twenty (20) Business Days and Lender does not respond to such second submission of such proposed Annual Budget by approving such proposed Annual Budget or stating its objection thereto within twenty (20) Business Days of Lender’s receipt of such second submission.

Lender acknowledges that the Annual Budget for Fiscal Year 2003 is satisfactory to Lender for the purpose of this Section 5.1.10(d)).

5.1.18 Management Agreement.

Borrower shall (i) diligently perform and observe in all material respects all of the terms, covenants and conditions of the Management Agreement or Replacement Management Agreement, if applicable, on the part of Borrower to be performed and observed to the end that all things shall be done which are necessary to keep unimpaired the material rights of Borrower under the Management Agreement or Replacement Management Agreement, if applicable, and (ii) promptly notify Lender of the giving of any notice to Borrower of any material default by Borrower in the performance or observance of any of the terms, covenants or conditions of the Management Agreement or Replacement Management Agreement, if applicable, on the part of Borrower to be performed and observed and deliver to Lender a true copy of each such notice. Borrower shall not surrender the Management Agreement or Replacement Management Agreement, if applicable, consent to the assignment by the Manager of its interest under the Management Agreement (except as provided herein) or Replacement Management Agreement, if applicable, or terminate or cancel the Management Agreement or Replacement Management Agreement, if applicable, or modify, change, supplement, alter or amend the Management Agreement or Replacement Management Agreement, if applicable, in any material respect, either orally or in writing, without the prior written consent of Lender, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. Borrower hereby assigns to Lender as further security for the payment of the Debt and for the performance and observance of the terms, covenants and conditions of this Agreement, all the rights, privileges and prerogatives of Borrower to surrender the Management Agreement or Replacement Management Agreement, if applicable, or to terminate, cancel, modify, change, supplement, alter or amend the Management Agreement or Replacement Management Agreement, if applicable, in any respect, and any such surrender of the Management Agreement or Replacement Management Agreement, if applicable, or termination, cancellation, modification, change, supplement, alteration or amendment of the Management Agreement or Replacement Management Agreement, if applicable, without the prior consent of Lender, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed, shall be void and of no force
- 68 -
and effect. If Borrower shall default in the performance or observance of any material term, covenant or condition of the Management Agreement or Replacement Management Agreement, if applicable, on the part of Borrower to be performed or observed, then, without limiting the generality of the other provisions of this Agreement, and without waiving or releasing Borrower from any of its obligations hereunder, Lender shall have the right, but shall be under no obligation, to pay any sums and to perform any act or take any action as may be appropriate to cause all the terms, covenants and conditions of the Management Agreement or Replacement Management Agreement, if applicable, on the part of Borrower to be performed or observed to be promptly performed or observed on behalf of Borrower, to the end that the rights of Borrower in, to and under the Management Agreement or Replacement Management Agreement, if applicable, shall be kept unimpaired and free from default. Lender and any person designated by Lender shall have, and are hereby granted, the right upon reasonable advance written notice to Borrower to enter upon the Property at any time and from time to time for the purpose of taking any such action. If the Manager shall deliver to Lender a copy of any notice sent to Borrower of material default under the Management Agreement or Replacement Management Agreement, if applicable, such notice shall constitute full protection to Lender for any action taken or omitted to be taken by Lender in good faith, in reliance thereon unless such action constitutes the willful misconduct, fraud, illegal acts or gross negligence of Lender or Lender’s agent. Borrower shall notify Lender if the Manager sub-contracts to a third party any or all of its management responsibilities under the Management Agreement or Replacement Management Agreement, if applicable. Borrower shall, from time to time, obtain from the Manager such certificates of estoppel with respect to compliance by Borrower with the terms of the Management Agreement or Replacement Management Agreement, if applicable, as may be reasonably requested by Lender to the extent provided for in the Management Agreement or Replacement Management Agreement if the Manager is not an Affiliate of Borrower. Borrower shall exercise each individual option, if any, to extend or renew the term of the Management Agreement or Replacement Management Agreement, if applicable, upon demand by Lender made at any time within one (1) year of the last day upon which any such option may be exercised, and Borrower hereby expressly authorizes and appoints Lender its attorney-in-fact to exercise any such option in the name of and upon behalf of Borrower, which power of attorney shall be irrevocable and shall be deemed to be coupled with an interest. Any sums expended by Lender pursuant to this paragraph shall bear interest at the Default Rate from the date such cost is incurred to the date of payment to Lender, shall be deemed to constitute a portion of the Debt, shall be secured by the lien of the Security Instrument and the other Loan Documents and shall be immediately due and payable upon demand by Lender therefor.
(b) Without limitation of the foregoing, Borrower, upon the request of Lender, shall terminate the Management Agreement or Replacement Management Agreement, if applicable and replace the Manager, without penalty or fee, if at any time during the Loan: (a) the Manager shall become insolvent or a debtor in any bankruptcy or insolvency proceeding, (b) provided, the Manager is an Affiliated Manager, (1) there exists a non-monetary Event of Default which remains uncured for at least thirty (30) days following written notice from Lender to Borrower of such non-monetary Event of Default (provided, however, such thirty (30) day notice and cure period is solely for the purpose of terminating the Management Agreement and Lender reserves all rights it has upon an Event of Default pursuant to Article 8 of this Agreement including, without limitation, a foreclosure of the Security Instrument), or (2) there exists a monetary Event of Default, or (c) there exists a default beyond all applicable notice and grace periods by Manager under the Management Agreement or Replacement Management Agreement, if applicable.

Subject to the terms of the Employee Parking Lot Lease, Borrower hereby covenants and agrees with Lender that it shall not grant its consent and/or approval to Lot Owner (to the extent such consent and/or approval is required pursuant to the Employee Parking Lot Lease) to the extent any such consent and/or approval would reasonably be expected to have a material adverse affect to the Parking Area (as defined in the Employee Parking Lot Lease) and the operations of the Property without first obtaining Lender’s prior written consent and/or approval, which consent and/or approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in the immediately preceding paragraph which relates to the Miami Lease or the Substitute Miami Lot Lease, Borrower covenants that it shall use its best efforts to cause Regency’s interest in the Miami Lease to be assigned to Borrower within thirty (30) days of the date hereof (such thirty (30) day period, the “Miami Lease Assignment Period”). In the event Regency’s interest in the Miami Lease is not assigned to Borrower upon the expiration of the Miami Lease Assignment Period, Borrower hereby covenants to enter into a substitute written lease within sixty (60) days of the expiration of the Miami Lease Assignment Period acceptable to Lender, such acceptance not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed provided such lease contains (i) market terms and (ii) a term equal to the lesser of (a) the period of time that the applicable spaces are reasonably expected to be unavailable or (b) at least one (1) year and (iii) is for a comparable number of parking spaces (as those that become unavailable) and such parking spaces are within reasonable and sufficient proximity to the Property so as not to unreasonably interfere with the operations of the Property (such substitute lease the “Substitute Miami Lot Lease”).

Should Lender fail to approve any such request,
- 72 -
Lender shall give written notice setting forth in reasonable detail the basis for such disapproval. Notwithstanding any approval standards of Lender set forth in the Employee Parking Lot Lease which conflict with the standards set forth in this Section 5.1.22, the standards set forth in this Section 5.1.22 shall govern any such approval.

Not less than thirty (30) days prior to the expiration dates of the Policies theretofore furnished to Lender pursuant to Section 6.1(a), Borrower shall deliver certified copies of the Policies or certificates marked “premium paid” or accompanied by evidence satisfactory to Lender of payment of the premiums due thereunder (the “Insurance Premiums”), provided, however, that in the case of renewal Policies, Borrower may furnish Lender with binders therefor to be followed by certificates of insurance. If Borrower’s insurers or reinsurance carriers fail to provide or maintain such ratings, Borrower may satisfy the ratings requirement of this Section by providing to Lender a “cut-through” endorsement in form and substance approved by Lender, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed, issued by an insurer with at least an “A+” rating by S&P.
(b) Except to the extent required pursuant to Section 6.1(a) hereof, Borrower shall not obtain any umbrella or blanket liability or casualty Policy, unless such Policy shall specifically allocate to the Property the amount of coverage required thereunder and shall otherwise provide the same protection as would a separate Policy insuring only the Property in compliance with the terms of Section 6.1(a) hereof.
- 83 -
(c) All Policies provided for or contemplated by Section 6.1(a) hereof, except for the Policy referenced in Section 6.1(a)(v), shall name Borrower as the insured and Lender as additional insured, as their respective interests may appear, and in the case of property damage, boiler and machinery, and flood insurance, shall contain a so-called New York standard noncontributing mortgagee clause in favor of Lender providing that the loss thereunder shall be payable to Lender.
(d) All Policies provided for in Section 6.1(a) hereof, shall contain clauses or endorsements to the effect that:
(i) no act or negligence of Borrower, or anyone acting for Borrower, or of any tenant under any Lease or other occupant, or failure to comply with the provisions of any Policy which might otherwise result in a forfeiture of the insurance or any part thereof, shall in any way affect the validity or enforceability of the insurance insofar as Lender is concerned;
(ii) the Policy shall not be materially changed (other than to increase the coverage provided thereby) or cancelled without at least 30 days’ written notice to Lender and any other party named therein as an additional insured; and
(iii) each Policy shall provide that the issuers thereof shall give written notice to Lender if the Policy has not been renewed thirty (30) days prior to its expiration; and
(iv) Lender shall not be liable for any Insurance Premiums thereon or subject to any assessments thereunder.
(e) Upon written request by Lender, Borrower shall furnish to Lender, on or before thirty (30) days after the close of each of Borrower’s fiscal years, an Officer’s Certificate certifying of the amounts of insurance maintained in compliance herewith, of the risks covered by such insurance and of the insurance company or companies which carry such insurance and, if requested by Lender, verification of the adequacy of such insurance by an independent insurance broker or appraiser acceptable to Lender.
(f) If at any time Lender is not in receipt of written evidence that all insurance required hereunder is in full force and effect, Lender shall have the right to take such action as Lender deems necessary to protect its interest in the Property, including, without limitation, the obtaining of such insurance coverage as Lender in its sole discretion deems appropriate after five (5) Business Days’ written notice to Borrower if prior to the date upon which any such coverage will lapse or at any time Lender deems necessary (regardless of prior written notice to Borrower) to avoid a lapse of such coverage. All expenses incurred by Lender in connection with such action or in obtaining such insurance and keeping it in effect shall be paid by Borrower to Lender upon demand and until paid shall be secured by the Security Instrument and shall bear interest at the Default Rate.
(g) In the event of a foreclosure of any of the Security Instrument, or other transfer of title to the Property in extinguishment in whole or in part of the Debt all right, title and interest of Borrower in and to such policies then in force concerning the Property (unless such policies are blanket policies insuring real property in addition to the Property) and all proceeds payable thereunder shall thereupon vest in the purchaser at such foreclosure or Lender or other transferee in the event of such other transfer of title and such party shall notify the insurer thereof.
- 84 -
Section 6.2 Casualty.
If the Property shall be damaged or destroyed, in whole or in part, by fire or other casualty (a “Casualty”), Borrower shall give prompt notice of such damage to Lender and shall promptly commence and diligently prosecute the completion of the Restoration of the Property in accordance with Section 6.4. Borrower shall pay all costs of such Restoration whether or not such costs are covered by insurance. Lender may, but shall not be obligated to make proof of loss if not made promptly by Borrower.
Section 6.3 Condemnation.
Borrower shall promptly give Lender notice of the actual or threatened commencement of any proceeding for the Condemnation of all or any part of the Property and shall deliver to Lender copies of any and all papers served in connection with such proceedings. Lender may participate in any such proceedings, and Borrower shall from time to time deliver to Lender all instruments requested by it to permit such participation. Borrower shall, at its expense, diligently prosecute any such proceedings, and shall consult with Lender, its attorneys and experts, and cooperate with them in the carrying on or defense of any such proceedings. Notwithstanding any taking by any public or quasi-public authority through Condemnation or otherwise (including, but not limited to, any transfer made in lieu of or in anticipation of the exercise of such takings), Borrower shall continue to pay the Debt at the time and in the manner provided for its payment in the Note and in this Agreement and the Debt shall not be reduced until any Award shall have been actually received and applied by Lender, after the deduction of expenses of collection, to the reduction or discharge of the Debt in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. Lender shall not be limited to the interest paid on the Award by the condemning authority but shall be entitled to receive out of the Award interest at the rate or rates provided herein or in the Note. If the Property or any portion thereof is taken by a condemning authority, Borrower shall promptly commence and diligently prosecute the Restoration of the Property and otherwise comply with the provisions of Section 6.4. If the Property is sold, through foreclosure or otherwise, prior to the receipt by Lender of the Award, Lender shall have the right, whether or not a deficiency judgment on the Note shall have been sought, recovered or denied, to receive the Award, or a portion thereof sufficient to pay the Debt. Notwithstanding the foregoing, or any other provision herein to the contrary, Borrower’s obligation to commence and pursue Restoration of the Property shall not be deemed to obligate Borrower to acquire any additional land to substitute for any portion of the Property which may be taken by Condemnation.
Section 6.4 Restoration.
The following provisions shall apply in connection with the Restoration of the Property:
(a) In the event that the projected Net Proceeds and the costs of completing the Restoration are each less than the Threshold Amount, Borrower may settle and adjust any claim without the consent of Lender and agree with the insurance company or companies on the amount to be paid upon the loss; provided that such adjustment is carried out in a competent and timely manner. Provided that all of the conditions set forth in Subsections (A), (D), (F), (G), (I) and (J) of Section 6.4(b)(i) hereof are met and Borrower delivers to Lender a written undertaking to expeditiously commence and satisfactorily complete with due diligence the Restoration in accordance with the terms herein, Borrower is hereby authorized to collect and receive any such Insurance Proceeds and apply them to the costs of the Restoration in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.
- 85 -
(b) In the event that either the projected Net Proceeds or the costs of completing the Restoration are either equal to or exceed the Threshold Amount Borrower may settle and adjust any claim with the prior consent of Lender, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed; provided, however, that (A) if Borrower has not commenced or diligently pursued the claims process with the applicable insurance company or companies and as a result thereof, Lender takes over the claims process as provided in Section 6.2, then Lender may settle and adjust such claims in a reasonable and expeditious manner and (B) upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, Lender may settle and adjust any claim without the consent of Borrower. In such events, Borrower or Lender, as the case may be, may agree with the insurance company or companies on the amount to be paid on the loss. All reasonable efforts will be made to ensure that the proceeds of any such policy shall be paid solely to Lender but, if for any reason Borrower or Wyndham shall also be a dual payee, then Borrower and/or Wyndham, as applicable, shall endorse and/or deliver to Lender all such proceeds within three (3) Business Days following Borrower’s and/or Wyndham’s, as applicable, receipt thereof, and provided no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, Lender shall make the Net Proceeds available for the Restoration in accordance with this Section 6.4. The term “Net Proceeds” for purposes of this Section 6.4 shall mean: (i) the net amount of all insurance proceeds received pursuant to Section 6.1 (a)(i), (iv), (vi), (vii) and (viii) as a result of such damage or destruction, after deduction of its reasonable costs and expenses (including, but not limited to, reasonable counsel fees), if any, in collecting same (“Insurance Proceeds”), or (ii) the net amount of the Award, after deduction of reasonable costs and expenses (including, but not limited to, reasonable counsel fees), if any, in collecting same (“Condemnation Proceeds”), whichever the case may be, plus (in the case of (i) and (ii) above) any interest or other income earned on the investment of the Insurance Proceeds or Condemnation Proceeds pursuant to the terms hereof.
(i) The Net Proceeds shall be made available to Borrower for Restoration provided that each of the following conditions are met:
(A) | no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing; |
(B) | (1) in the event the Net Proceeds are Insurance Proceeds, less than forty percent (40%) of the total floor area of the Improvements on the Property has been materially damaged, destroyed and rendered unusable for a period of at least thirty (30) calendar days as a result of such fire or other casualty or (2) in the event the Net Proceeds are Condemnation Proceeds, less than ten percent (10%) of the land constituting the Property is taken, and such land is located along the perimeter or periphery of the Property, and no portion of the Improvements is located on such land; |
(C) | Intentionally Omitted; |
(D) | Borrower shall commence the Restoration as soon as reasonably practicable (but, subject to Force Majeure, in no event later than thirty (30) days after such Casualty or Condemnation, whichever the case may be, occurs) and shall diligently pursue the same to satisfactory completion (Restoration shall be deemed commenced upon Borrower’s engagement of an architect if Borrower elects to do so or, if, in the commercially reasonable judgment of Lender, an architect is necessary and the commencing of cleaning of the Property to effectuate Restoration); |
- 86 -
(E) | Lender shall be reasonably satisfied that any operating deficits, including all scheduled payments of principal and interest under the Note, which will be incurred with respect to the Property as a result of the occurrence of any such Casualty or Condemnation, whichever the case may be, will be covered out of (1) the Net Proceeds, (2) the insurance coverage referred to in Section 6.1(a)(iii), if applicable, or (3) by other funds of Borrower including funds reasonably anticipated by Lender to be generated from the operation of the Property during the Restoration; |
(F) | Lender shall be satisfied that the Restoration will be substantially completed on or before the earliest to occur of (1) six (6) months prior to the Maturity Date, or (2) twelve (12) months after the occurrence of such fire or other casualty, or (3) the earliest date required for such completion under the terms of the Management Agreement or (4) such time as may be required under applicable zoning law, ordinance, rule or regulation in order to repair and restore the Property to the condition it was in immediately prior to such Casualty or Condemnation or (5) the expiration of the insurance coverage referred to in Section 6.1(a)(iii) unless Borrower has provided Lender with evidence reasonably acceptable to Lender that Borrower has sufficient funds after the expiration of such insurance to (x) operate the Property in a manner consistent with the manner in which the Property were operated immediately prior to such Casualty or Condemnation and (y) pay all sums as they become due under the Loan Documents in a timely manner; |
(G) | the Property and the use thereof after the Restoration will be in compliance in all material respects with and permitted under all applicable zoning laws, ordinances, rules and regulations; |
(H) | the Restoration shall be done and completed by Borrower in an expeditious and diligent fashion and in compliance with all applicable governmental laws, rules and regulations (including, without limitation, all applicable environmental laws) and the terms and condition of the Management Agreement; |
(I) | such Casualty or Condemnation, as applicable, does not result in the permanent loss of access to any material portion of the Property or the related Improvements; |
(J) | Lender shall be reasonably satisfied that the projected Debt Service Coverage Ratio for the Property for the twelve (12) month period beginning three (3) months after the completion of the Restoration, shall be equal to or greater than the Debt Service Coverage Ratio for the Property for the twelve (12) full calendar months immediately prior to the Closing Date; |
- 87 -
(K) | If the Net Proceeds or the cost of Restoration is reasonably anticipated by Lender to exceed the Threshold Amount, Borrower shall deliver, or cause to be delivered, to Lender a signed reasonably detailed initial budget containing Borrower’s reasonable estimates of the cost of completing the Restoration and shall furnish to Lender no less frequently than one time each calendar month an updated budget prepared by Borrower containing all revisions and refinements to such budget and the amounts incurred through the date of such budget. Such initial budget and all subsequent budgets shall be reasonably acceptable to Lender; |
(L) | the Net Proceeds received and reasonably estimated to be received together with any cash or cash equivalent (including any Letter of Credit received by Lender) deposited by Borrower with Lender are sufficient in Lender’s reasonable discretion to cover the cost of the Restoration and uncompleted Replacements (to the extent provided in the next sentence). If and to the extent that the Restoration includes Replacements which were included in the Annual Budget for the year in which the Casualty occurred or which were or would reasonably be expected to be included in the Annual Budget for the immediately following year in which the Casualty occurred, then Borrower shall be given a credit for having made the actual expenditures for such Replacements as and when such expenditures are made during the course of Restoration; and |
(M) | the Management Agreement in effect as of the date of the occurrence of such fire or other casualty or taking, whichever the case may be, shall (1) remain in full force and effect during the Restoration and shall not otherwise terminate as a result of the fire, other casualty or the Restoration or (2) if terminated, shall have been replaced with a Replacement Management Agreement with a Qualified Manager, prior to the opening or reopening of the Property or any portion thereof for business with the public. |
(ii) The Net Proceeds shall be held by Lender in an interest-bearing Eligible Account (provided, however, Borrower may instruct Lender to invest the Net Proceeds in Permitted Investments, provided, that all risks relating thereto shall be borne solely by Borrower) and, until disbursed in accordance with the provisions of this Section 6.4(b), shall constitute additional security for the Debt and other obligations under the Loan Documents. The Net Proceeds shall be disbursed by Lender to, or as directed by, Borrower from time to time during the course of the Restoration, upon receipt of evidence satisfactory to Lender that (A) all materials installed and work and labor performed (except to the extent that they are to be paid for out of the requested disbursement) in connection with the Restoration have been paid for in full (provided however, Borrower shall be permitted to use up to ten percent (10%) of the Net Proceeds for deposits for work or materials ordered in connection with the Restoration),
- 88 -
and (B) there exist no notices of pendency, stop orders, mechanic’s or materialmen’s liens or notices of intention to file same, or any other liens or encumbrances of any nature whatsoever (except for Liens being contested in good faith in accordance with the terms hereof and Permitted Encumbrances) on the Property which have not either been fully bonded to the satisfaction of Lender and discharged of record or in the alternative fully insured to the satisfaction of Lender by the title company issuing the Title Insurance Policy.
(iii) All plans and specifications (to the extent reasonably required by Borrower) required in connection with a Restoration reasonably anticipated by Lender to cost in excess of $1,000,000.00 shall be subject to prior review and acceptance in all respects by Lender (which acceptance shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed) and by an independent consulting engineer selected by Lender and reasonably acceptable to Borrower (the “Casualty Consultant”). Borrower may require the Casualty Consultant to execute reasonably requested confidentiality agreements with respect to Borrower’s confidential non-public information provided such agreements are customarily given for similarly situated properties. Lender shall have the use of the plans and specifications and all permits, licenses and approvals required or obtained in connection with the Restoration. The identity of the contractors, subcontractors and materialmen providing work and/or materials in excess of $500,000.00 in connection with a Restoration, as well as the contracts under which they have been engaged, shall be subject to prior review and acceptance by Lender and the Casualty Consultant, such acceptance not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. All reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred by Lender in connection with making the Net Proceeds available for the Restoration including, without limitation, reasonable counsel fees and disbursements and the Casualty Consultant’s fees, shall be paid by Borrower.
(iv) In no event shall Lender be obligated to make disbursements of the Net Proceeds in excess of an amount equal to the costs actually incurred from time to time for work in place as part of the Restoration, as certified by the Casualty Consultant, minus the Casualty Retainage. The term “Casualty Retainage” shall mean an amount equal to ten percent (10%) of the costs actually incurred for work in place as part of the Restoration, as certified by the Casualty Consultant, until the Restoration has been completed; provided, however, to the extent that retainer fees and other advances paid or payable to contractors, consultants and/or engineers constitute an approved loss by the applicable insurance company or companies and Insurance Proceeds have been received with respect to such fees, provided no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, Lender will permit such amounts to be paid or reimbursed to Borrower from the Net Proceeds to the extent such Insurance Proceeds have actually been received by Lender, without any such Casualty Retainage. The Casualty Retainage shall in no event, and notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth above in this Section 6.4(b), be less than the amount actually held back by Borrower from contractors, subcontractors and materialmen engaged in the Restoration. The Casualty Retainage shall not be released until the Casualty Consultant certifies to Lender that the Restoration has been completed in accordance with the provisions of this Section 6.4(b) and that all approvals necessary for the re-occupancy and use of the Property have been obtained from all appropriate governmental and quasi-governmental authorities, and Lender receives evidence reasonably satisfactory to Lender that the costs of the Restoration have been paid in full or will be paid in full out of the Casualty Retainage;
- 89 -
provided, however, that Lender will release the portion of the Casualty Retainage being held with respect to any contractor, subcontractor or materialmen engaged in the Restoration as of the date upon which the Casualty Consultant certifies to Lender that the contractor, subcontractor or materialman has satisfactorily completed all work and has supplied all materials in accordance with the provisions of the contractor’s, subcontractor’s or materialman’s contract, the contractor, subcontractor or materialman delivers the lien waivers and evidence of payment in full of (subject to receipt of the applicable Casualty Retainage) all sums due to the contractor, subcontractor or materialman as may be reasonably requested by Lender or by the title company issuing the Title Insurance Policy for the Property, and Lender, upon its reasonable request, receives an endorsement to such Title Insurance Policy insuring the continued priority of the Lien of the related Security Instrument and evidence of payment of any premium payable for such endorsement. If required by Lender, the release of any such portion of the Casualty Retainage shall be approved by the surety company, if any, which has issued a payment or performance bond with respect to the contractor, subcontractor or materialman.
(v) Lender shall not be obligated to make disbursements of the Net Proceeds more frequently than (a) once every seven (7) calendar days during the first (30) calendar days following a Casualty, (b) once every fourteen (14) calendar days during the next one hundred eighty (180) calendar days and (c) once every thirty (30) calendar days thereafter.
(vi) If at any time the Net Proceeds (including a reasonable estimate of the amount to be received as Restoration progresses) or the undisbursed balance thereof shall not, in the reasonable opinion of Lender in consultation with the Casualty Consultant, be sufficient to pay in full the balance of the costs which are estimated by the Casualty Consultant to be incurred in connection with the completion of the Restoration based upon the then current budget for the Restoration, Borrower shall deposit the amount of the deficiency (the “Net Proceeds Deficiency”) with Lender (which deposit may be made in the form of a Letter of Credit) before any further disbursement of the Net Proceeds shall be made. The Net Proceeds Deficiency deposited with Lender shall be held by Lender and shall be disbursed for costs actually incurred in connection with the Restoration on the same conditions applicable to the disbursement of the Net Proceeds, and until so disbursed pursuant to this Section 6.4(b) shall constitute additional security for the Debt and other obligations under the Loan Documents.
(vii) The excess, if any, of the Net Proceeds and the remaining balance, if any, of the Net Proceeds Deficiency deposited with Lender after the Casualty Consultant certifies to Lender that the Restoration has been substantially completed in accordance with the provisions of this Section 6.4(b), and the receipt by Lender of evidence reasonably satisfactory to Lender that all costs incurred in connection with the Restoration have been paid in full, shall be remitted by Lender to Borrower, provided no Event of Default shall have occurred and shall be continuing.
(c) All Net Proceeds not required (i) to be made available for the Restoration or (ii) to be returned to Borrower as excess Net Proceeds pursuant to Section 6.4(b)(vii) may be retained and applied by Lender toward the payment of either (or both) (1) any then outstanding portion of the Debt or (2) the principal balance of the Debt whether or not then due and payable, in either
- 90 -
case in such order, priority and proportions as Lender in its sole discretion shall deem proper, or, at the discretion of Lender, the same may be paid, either in whole or in part, to Borrower for such purposes as Lender shall approve, in its discretion. If Lender shall receive and retain Net Proceeds, the Lien of the Security Instrument shall be reduced only by the amount thereof received and retained by Lender and actually applied by Lender in reduction of the Debt.
(d) Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 6.4 to the contrary, a portion of the Net Proceeds not to exceed $2,500,000.00 shall be made available to the applicable Borrower after receipt thereof by Lender or Borrower, as applicable, to pay or reimburse Borrower for any immediate and necessary repairs or other work required to be made to the Wyndham Condado Hotel, as applicable (i) to protect the health or safety of any hotel guest or any of Borrower’s employees or agents or (ii) to allow the Property to operate as a hotel (collectively, the “Emergency Repairs”) provided (A) the conditions of Section 6.4(b)(i) (A), (B), (D), (F), (G), (H), (I) and (L) are satisfied and (B) the Emergency Repairs are (1) substantially completed and paid for within ten (10) calendar days after the occurrence of the Casualty (2) completed in a good and xxxxxxx like manner and in compliance with all Applicable Laws and (3) each general contractor or any other contractor hired directly by Borrower or its Affiliates performing such Emergency Repairs are bonded and maintain the insurance required by Section 6.1(a) (iv) hereof. Lender shall use commercially reasonable efforts taking into account the circumstances surrounding the request for Net Proceeds pursuant to this Section 6.4 (d) to promptly determine whether the conditions set forth in this Subsection 6.4(d) have been satisfied.
VII. RESERVE FUNDS
Section 7.1 Required Repair Funds.
7.1.1 Deposits.
On the Closing Date, Borrower shall deposit with Lender the amount for the Property set forth on such Schedule III hereto (collectively, the “Required Repair Deposit”) to perform the Required Repairs for the Property. Amounts so deposited with Lender shall be held by Lender in the Required Repair Account and in accordance with Section 7.8 hereof. Amounts so deposited shall hereinafter be referred to as Borrower’s “Required Repair Fund.” Subject to Force Majeure, Borrower shall perform the repairs at the Property, as more particularly set forth on Schedule III hereto (such repairs hereinafter referred to as “Required Repairs”). Borrower shall complete the Required Repairs on or before the required deadline for each repair as set forth on Schedule III, subject to such extensions as required due to Force Majeure. It shall be an Event of Default under this Agreement if (a) subject to Force Majeure, Borrower does not complete the Required Repairs at the Property by the required deadline for each repair as set forth on Schedule III, or (b) Borrower does not satisfy each condition contained in Section 7.1.2 hereof in all material respects. Upon the occurrence of such an Event of Default, Lender, at its option, may withdraw all Required Repair Funds from the Required Repair Account and Lender may apply such funds either to completion of the Required Repairs at one or more of the Property or toward payment of the Debt in such order, proportion and priority as Lender may determine in its sole discretion. Lender’s right to withdraw and apply Required Repair Funds shall be in addition to all other rights and remedies provided to Lender under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in lieu of depositing the Required Repair Deposit in the Required Repair Fund, Borrower shall have the option of delivering to Lender a Letter of Credit in an amount equal to the Required Repair Deposit.
- 91 -
7.1.2 Release of Required Repair Funds.
Provided Borrower has deposited funds in the Required Repair Account, Lender shall disburse to Borrower the Required Repair Funds from the Required Repair Account from time to time upon satisfaction by Borrower of each of the following conditions: (a) Borrower shall submit a written request for payment to Lender at least fifteen (15) days prior to the date on which Borrower requests such payment be made and specifies the Required Repairs to be paid, (b) on the date such request is received by Lender and on the date such payment is to be made, no Event of Default shall exist and remain uncured, (c) Lender shall have received an Officer’s Certificate (i) stating that all Required Repairs at the Property to be funded by the requested disbursement have been completed in good and workmanlike manner (or any materials to be reimbursed by the requested disbursement are on site at the Property or in a bonded warehouse reasonably acceptable to Lender and are properly secured or have been installed in the Property) and in accordance with all Legal Requirements and Environmental Laws, such certificate to be accompanied by a copy of any license, permit or other approval by any Governmental Authority required to commence and/or complete such Required Repairs, (ii) identifying each Person that supplied materials, labor or other services, including, without limitation, design, construction management and project supervision, in connection with the Required Repairs performed at the Property with respect to the reimbursement to be funded by the requested disbursement, and (iii) stating that each such Person has been paid in full all sums then due upon such disbursement, such Officer’s Certificate to be accompanied by lien waivers from each Person receiving $50,000 or more in payment or other evidence of payment reasonably satisfactory to Lender, (d) at Lender’s option, a title search for the Property indicating that the Property is free from all Liens, claims and other encumbrances not previously approved by Lender, and (e) Lender shall have received such other evidence as Lender shall reasonably request that the Required Repairs at the Property to be funded by the requested disbursement (or any materials to be reimbursed by the requested disbursement are on site at the Property or in a bonded warehouse reasonably acceptable to Lender and are properly secured or have been installed in the Property) have been completed and are paid for upon such disbursement to Borrower. Lender shall not be required to make disbursements from the Required Repair Account with respect to the Property unless such requested disbursement is in an amount greater than $25,000 (or a lesser amount if the total amount in the Required Repair Account is less than $25,000, in which case only one disbursement of the amount remaining in the account shall be made). Provided no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, any funds remaining in the Required Repairs Account after completion of all Required Repairs and the delivery of evidence thereof in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement will be disbursed to Borrower. In the event Borrower delivers a Letter of Credit to Lender in lieu of depositing cash into the Required Repair Account, provided Borrower delivers evidence reasonably acceptable to Lender that the applicable Required Repairs are completed in a good and workmanlike manner and such Required Repairs have been paid for in full, Borrower shall be permitted to deliver a replacement Letter of Credit to Lender in an amount equal to 125% of the then remaining outstanding Required Repairs.
Section 7.2 Tax and Insurance Escrow Fund.
Borrower shall pay to Lender on each Payment Date (a) one-twelfth of the Taxes (the “Monthly Tax Deposit”) that Lender estimates will be payable during the next ensuing twelve (12) months in order to accumulate with Lender sufficient funds to pay all such Taxes at least thirty (30) days prior to their respective due dates, and (b) at the option of Lender, if the liability or casualty Policy maintained by Borrower covering the Property shall not constitute an
- 92 -
approved blanket or umbrella Policy pursuant to Section 6.1(b) hereof, or if Lender shall require Borrower to obtain a separate Policy pursuant to Section 6.1(a) hereof, one-twelfth of the Insurance Premiums (the “Monthly Insurance Premium Deposit”) that Lender estimates will be payable for the renewal of the coverage afforded by the Policies, with respect to, and allocable to the Property upon the expiration thereof in order to accumulate with Lender sufficient funds to pay all such Insurance Premiums at least thirty (30) days prior to the expiration of the Policies (said amounts in (a) and (b) above hereinafter called the “Tax and Insurance Escrow Fund”). The Tax and Insurance Escrow Fund and the payments of interest or principal or both, payable pursuant to the Note and this Agreement, shall be added together and shall be paid as an aggregate sum by Borrower to Lender. Lender will apply the Tax and Insurance Escrow Fund to payments of Taxes and Insurance Premiums required to be made by Borrower pursuant to Section 5.1.2 and 6.1 hereof. In making any payment relating to the Tax and Insurance Escrow Fund, Lender may do so according to any xxxx, statement or estimate procured from the appropriate public office (with respect to Taxes) or insurer or agent (with respect to Insurance Premiums), without inquiry into the accuracy of such xxxx, statement or estimate or into the validity of any tax, assessment, sale, forfeiture, tax lien or title or claim thereof, provided, however, Borrower shall have the right to contest the same in good faith and in accordance with the terms hereof. If the amount of the Tax and Insurance Escrow Fund shall exceed the amounts due for Taxes and Insurance Premiums pursuant to Section 5.1.2 and 6.1 hereof, Lender shall return any excess to Borrower. Any amount remaining in the Tax and Insurance Escrow Fund after the Debt has been paid in full shall be returned to Borrower. In allocating such excess, Lender may deal with the Person shown on the records of Lender to be the owner of the Property. If at any time Lender reasonably determines that the Tax and Insurance Escrow Fund is not or will not be sufficient to pay Taxes and Insurance Premiums by the dates set forth in (a) and (b) above, Lender shall notify Borrower of such determination and Borrower shall increase its monthly payments to Lender by the amount that Lender estimates is sufficient to make up the deficiency at least thirty (30) days prior to delinquency of the Taxes and/or thirty (30) days prior to expiration of the Policies, as the case may be. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in lieu of making the Monthly Insurance Premium Deposit, Borrower shall have the option of (i) delivering to Lender a Letter of Credit in an amount equal to the estimated annual Insurance Premium, as the same is calculated each year during the term of the Loan or (ii) providing evidence reasonably satisfactory to Lender that the liability or casualty Policy maintained by Borrower covering the Property shall constitute an approved blanket or umbrella Policy pursuant to terms hereof along with evidence reasonably acceptable to Lender that the Insurance Premiums for such approved blanket Policy or umbrella Policy for the immediately succeeding year has been paid in full. Amounts deposited with Lender in the Tax and Insurance Escrow Fund shall be held by Lender in accordance with the terms of Section 7.8 hereof.
Section 7.3 Replacements and Replacement Reserve.
7.3.1 Replacement Reserve Fund.
With respect to the Property, on the Closing Date, Borrower shall deposit $3,200,000.00. In addition to the foregoing, in the event that the budgeted amount for Replacements at the casino (based upon the Casino Budget) for a five (5) year period commencing on the Closing Date (such amount the “Budgeted Casino Replacements”) exceeds $4,600,000.00 (excluding any Excess (defined below) carried forward from prior years), Borrower shall, within five (5) days of delivery of the Casino Budget, deposit with Lender an additional amount equal to the difference between the Budgeted Casino Replacements and $4,600,000.00. On each Payment Date during the term of the Loan, Borrower shall pay to Lender the Replacement Reserve Deposit for
- 93 -
furnishings, fixtures and equipment in the guest rooms, hallways, lobbies, restaurants, lounges, meeting and banquet rooms, parking facilities and other public areas to be made to the Property (collectively the “Replacements”). Amounts so deposited shall hereinafter be referred to as Borrower’s “Replacement Reserve Fund” and shall be deposited into the Replacement Reserve Account. In the event that the Property is released from the Lien of the Security Instrument in accordance with Section 2.5 hereof, any amount held in the Replacement Reserve Account shall be released to the Borrower. Borrower covenants and agrees to provide Lender evidence reasonably acceptable to Lender, within thirty (30) days after the start of each calendar month, of the Actual Amount for the Property for the immediately preceding calendar month period. (For example, with respect to the Replacement Reserve Deposit payable on the Payment Date in June, Borrower shall provide Lender evidence of the Actual Amount for the month of April (the Subject Month) by May 30). Notwithstanding the foregoing, in lieu of depositing the Replacement Reserve Deposit, Borrower may deliver to Lender one (1) or more Letters of Credit each in the amount of the required Replacement Reserve Deposit. In the event the Actual Amount spent by Borrower for Replacements to the Property in any given Subject Month exceeds the product of (a) the applicable Gross Income From Operations for such Subject Month and (b) the FF&E Factor (such amount, the “Excess”), the Borrower may request payment or reimbursement from the Replacement Reserve Account (or may request a reduction in the amount of any Letter of Credit delivered to Lender in lieu of a cash deposit to the Replacement Reserve Account) for the Excess, up to the amount of funds or Letters of Credit on deposit in the Replacement Reserve Account, in accordance with Section 7.3.2 provided, however, at no time shall Borrower be entitled to receive funds (or reduce Letters of Credit) in excess of the Actual Amount for the applicable Subject Month. To the extent the Replacement Reserve Account has no funds or Letters of Credit on deposit or is less than the amount of the Excess, the Borrower will be permitted to carry forward the amount of the Excess that was not paid or reimbursed from the Replacement Reserve Account (such amount, the “Shortfall”) as a reduction in subsequent month(s) calculation of the Replacement Reserve Deposit for the Property until the Shortfall has been exhausted. In other words, Borrower shall be reimbursed for its Replacements to the Property expenditures first by reduction of the current month’s Replacement Reserve Deposit, second from any funds (and by reductions in the amount of Letters of Credit delivered to Lender in lieu of cash deposits) on deposit in the Replacement Reserve Account (using first the funds and then reductions in the Letters of Credit), and third as an ongoing credit toward future months’ required Replacement Reserve Deposits until Borrower has been fully reimbursed for all expenditures for Replacements from the beginning of the first Subject Month to date.”
7.3.2 Disbursements from Replacement Reserve Account.
(a) Provided that (i) the Replacement Reserve contains funds or a Letter of Credit and (ii) no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, Lender shall make disbursements from the Replacement Reserve Account (or reduce the amount of Letters of Credit delivered to Lender in lieu of cash deposits to the Replacement Reserve Account) to pay or reimburse Borrower only for the costs of the Replacements made to the Property (with any funds on deposit being utilized prior to the reduction of any Letters of Credit). Lender shall not be obligated to make disbursements from the Replacement Reserve Account to pay or reimburse Borrower for the costs of routine maintenance to the Property, for replacement of inventory or for costs which are to be reimbursed from the Required Repair Fund or in excess of the funds deposited in the Replacement Reserve Account allocable to the Property.
(b) Lender shall, upon written request from Borrower and satisfaction of the requirements set forth in this Section 7.3.2, disburse to Borrower within fifteen (15) Business
- 94 -
Days of request amounts from the Replacement Reserve Account necessary to pay or reimburse Borrower for the actual approved costs and Replacements upon completion of such Replacements (or, upon partial completion in the case of Replacements made pursuant to Section 7.3.2(e)) as reasonably determined by Lender. In no event shall Lender be obligated to disburse funds from the Replacement Reserve Account if a Default or an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing.
(c) Each request for disbursement from the Replacement Reserve Account shall be in a form reasonably specified or approved by Lender and shall specify (i) the specific Replacements for which the disbursement is requested, (ii) the quantity and price of each item purchased or to be purchased, if the Replacement includes the purchase or replacement of specific items, (iii) the price of all materials (grouped by type or category) used in any Replacement other than the purchase or replacement of specific items, and (iv) the cost of all contracted labor or other services (including, without limitation, design, construction management and project supervision) applicable to each Replacement for which the disbursement is requested. With each request Borrower shall deliver an Officer’s Certificate certifying that all Replacements subject to prior requests, have been made in accordance with all applicable Legal Requirements of any Governmental Authority having jurisdiction over the Property to which the Replacements are being provided. Each request for disbursement shall include copies of invoices for all items or materials purchased or to be purchased and all contracted labor or services provided or to be provided and each request shall include waivers of lien and evidence of payment from each contractor, as applicable, previously receiving payment out of any prior such request provided, however, lien waivers shall only be required if the payments to such contractor is equal to or exceeds $50,000.00. Except as provided in Section 7.3.2(e), each request for disbursement from the Replacement Reserve Account shall be made only after completion of the Replacement for which disbursement is requested. Borrower shall provide Lender evidence of completion or partial completion, as applicable, satisfactory to Lender in its reasonable judgment.
(d) Borrower shall pay all invoices in connection with the Replacements with respect to each request for disbursement (i) prior to submitting such request for disbursement from the Replacement Reserve Account, (ii) with the funds received from the applicable disbursement from the Replacement Reserve Account or, (iii) at the request of Borrower, Lender will issue joint checks, payable to Borrower and the contractor, supplier, materialman, mechanic, subcontractor or other party to whom payment is due in connection with a Replacement. In the case of payments made by joint check, Lender may require a waiver of lien from each Person receiving payment equal to or in excess of $50,000.00 prior to Lender’s disbursement from the Replacement Reserve Account. In addition, as a condition to any disbursement, Lender may require Borrower to obtain lien waivers from each contractor, supplier, materialman, mechanic or subcontractor who receives payment in an amount equal to or greater than $50,000.00 for completion of its work or delivery of its materials. Any lien waiver delivered hereunder shall conform to the requirements of applicable law and shall cover all work performed and materials supplied (including equipment and fixtures) for the Property by that contractor, supplier, subcontractor, mechanic or materialman through the date covered by the current payment or reimbursement request (or, in the event that payment to such contractor, supplier, subcontractor, mechanic or materialmen is to be made by a joint check, the release of lien shall be effective through the date covered by the previous release of funds request).
(e) If (i) the cost of a Replacement exceeds $50,000.00, and (ii) the contractor performing such Replacement requires periodic payments pursuant to terms of a written contract,
- 95 -
a request for payment or reimbursement from the Replacement Reserve Account may be made after completion of a portion of the work under such contract, provided (A) such contract requires payment upon completion of such portion of the work, (B) the materials for which the request is made are on site at the Property and are properly secured or have been installed in the Property (or if stored at a place other than the Property, are secured in a manner reasonably acceptable to Lender), (C) all other conditions in this Agreement for disbursement have been satisfied, (D) funds remaining in the Replacement Reserve Account together with other funds or assurances reasonably satisfactory to Lender deposited with Lender and available for such Replacements are, in Lender’s reasonable judgment, sufficient to complete such Replacement and other Replacements when required, and (E) if required by Lender, each contractor or subcontractor receiving payments equal to or in excess of $50,000.00 under such contract shall provide a waiver of lien with respect to amounts which have been paid to that contractor or subcontractor.
(f) Borrower shall not make a request for disbursement from the Replacement Reserve Account more frequently than once in any calendar month and (except in connection with the final disbursement) the total cost of all Replacements in any request shall not be less than $25,000.00.
7.3.3 Performance of Replacements.
(a) Borrower shall make Replacements when required in order to keep the Property in condition and repair consistent with other comparable hotels in the same market segment in the metropolitan area in which the Property is located, and to keep the Property or any portion thereof from deteriorating. Borrower shall complete all Replacements in a good and workmanlike manner as soon as practicable following the commencement of making each such Replacement.
(b) In connection with Replacements for which payments or reimbursements are requested from the Replacement Reserve Account, Lender reserves the right, at its option, to approve each contract or work order with materialmen, mechanics, suppliers, subcontractors, contractors or other parties providing labor or materials in connection with the Replacements in the event amounts payable under such contract or work order exceed $250,000.00 which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. Upon Lender’s request, Borrower shall assign such contract or subcontract to Lender.
(c) Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, Lender shall have the option to withhold disbursement from the Replacement Reserve Account for any unsatisfactory Replacement and to proceed under existing contracts or to contract with third parties to complete such Replacement and to apply the Replacement Reserve Fund toward the labor and materials necessary to complete such Replacement, without providing any prior notice to Borrower and to exercise any and all other remedies available to Lender upon an Event of Default hereunder.
(d) In order to facilitate Lender’s completion or making of the Replacements pursuant to Section 7.3.3(c) above, Borrower grants Lender the right to enter onto the Property upon prior written notice to Borrower and subject to the rights of tenants and hotel guests and perform any and all work and labor necessary to complete or make the Replacements and/or employ watchmen to protect the Property from damage. All sums so expended by Lender, to the extent not from the Replacement Reserve Fund, shall be deemed to have been advanced under the Loan
- 96 -
to Borrower and secured by the Security Instrument. For this purpose Borrower constitutes and appoints Lender its true and lawful attorney-in-fact with full power of substitution to complete or undertake the Replacements in the name of Borrower. Such power of attorney shall be deemed to be a power coupled with an interest and cannot be revoked, provided, however, Lender shall not exercise such power of attorney until the earlier of (i) the occurrence and continuance of an Event of Default or (ii) ten (10) days after Lender notifies Borrower of its intention to exercise such power of attorney. Borrower empowers said attorney-in-fact as follows: (i) to use any funds in the Replacement Reserve Account for the purpose of making or completing the Replacements; (ii) to make such additions, changes and corrections to the Replacements as shall be reasonably necessary or desirable to complete the Replacements; (iii) to employ such contractors, subcontractors, agents, architects and inspectors as shall be reasonably required for such purposes; (iv) to pay, settle or compromise all existing bills and claims which are or may become Liens against the Property, or as may be necessary or desirable for the completion of the Replacements, or for clearance of title; (v) to execute all applications and certificates in the name of Borrower which may be required by any of the contract documents; (vi) to prosecute and defend all actions or proceedings in connection with the Property or the rehabilitation and repair of the Property; and (vii) to do any and every act which Borrower might do in its own behalf to fulfill the terms of this Agreement.
(e) Nothing in this Section 7.3.3 shall: (i) make Lender responsible for making or completing the Replacements; (ii) require Lender to expend funds in addition to the Replacement Reserve Fund to make or complete any Replacement; (iii) obligate Lender to proceed with the Replacements; or (iv) obligate Lender to demand from Borrower additional sums to make or complete any Replacement.
(f) Borrower shall permit Lender and Lender’s agents and representatives (including, without limitation, Lender’s engineer, architect, or inspector) or third parties making Replacements pursuant to this Section 7.3.3 to enter onto the Property during normal business hours and upon prior written notice (subject to the rights of tenants under their Leases and hotel patrons) to inspect the progress of any Replacements and all materials being used in connection therewith, to examine all plans and shop drawings relating to such Replacements which are or may be kept at the Property, and to complete any Replacements made pursuant to this Section 7.33. Borrower shall cause all contractors and subcontractors to cooperate with Lender or Lender’s representatives or such other persons described above in connection with inspections described in this Section 7.3.3(f) or the completion of Replacements pursuant to this Section 7.3.3.
(g) Lender may require an inspection of the Property at Borrower’s expense prior to making a monthly disbursement in excess of $250,000 from the Replacement Reserve Account in order to verify completion of the Replacements for which payment or reimbursement is sought. Lender may require that such inspection be conducted by an appropriate independent qualified professional selected by Lender and/or may require a copy of a certificate of completion by an independent qualified professional acceptable to Lender prior to the disbursement of any amounts from the Replacement Reserve Account. Borrower shall pay the expense of the inspection as required hereunder, whether such inspection is conducted by Lender or by an independent qualified professional.
(h) The Replacements and all materials, equipment, fixtures, or any other item comprising a part of any Replacement shall be constructed, installed or completed, as applicable, free and clear of all mechanic’s, materialmen’s or other liens (except for Permitted Encumbrances).
- 97 -
(i) Before each disbursement from the Replacement Reserve Account in excess of $250,000.00, Lender may require Borrower to provide Lender with a search of title to the Property effective to the date of the disbursement, which search shows that no mechanic’s or materialmen’s liens or other liens of any nature (other than Liens being contested in good faith in accordance with the terms hereof) have been placed against the Property since the date of recordation of the mortgage and that title to the Property is free and clear of all Liens (other than the lien of the related Security Instrument and any other Liens previously approved in writing by Lender, if any, or Permitted Encumbrances).
(j) All Replacements shall comply with all applicable Legal Requirements of all Governmental Authorities having jurisdiction over the Property and applicable insurance requirements including, without limitation, applicable building codes, special use permits, environmental regulations, and requirements of insurance underwriters.
(k) In addition to any insurance required under the Loan Documents, Borrower shall provide or cause to be provided workmen’s compensation insurance, builder’s risk, and public liability insurance and other insurance to the extent required under applicable law in connection with a particular Replacement to the extent not already provided by Borrower’s existing insurance coverage. All such policies shall be in form and amount reasonably satisfactory to Lender. All such policies which can be endorsed with standard mortgagee clauses making loss payable to Lender or its assigns shall be so endorsed. Certified copies of such policies shall be delivered to Lender.
(l) Notwithstanding the foregoing, Borrower shall commence the Replacements at the casino costing approximately $3,200,000.00 which have been budgeted for in the Casino Budget and Borrower shall cause such Replacements to be substantially underway prior to the initial Maturity Date.
7.3.4 Failure to Make Replacements.
(a) It shall be an Event of Default under this Agreement if Borrower fails to comply with any provision of this Section 7.3 and such failure is not cured within thirty (30) days after notice from Lender. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of such an Event of Default, Lender may use the Replacement Reserve Fund (or any portion thereof) for any purpose, including but not limited to completion of the Replacements as provided in Sections 7.3.3(c) and (d), or for any other repair or replacement to the Property or toward payment of the Debt in such
- 98 -
order, proportion and priority as Lender may determine in its sole discretion. Lender’s right to withdraw and apply the Replacement Reserve Funds shall be in addition to all other rights and remedies provided to Lender under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.
(b) Nothing in this Agreement shall obligate Lender to apply all or any portion of the Replacement Reserve Fund on account of an Event of Default to payment of the Debt or in any specific order or priority.
7.3.5 Balance in the Replacement Reserve Account.
The insufficiency of any balance in the Replacement Reserve Account shall not relieve Borrower from its obligation to fulfill all preservation and maintenance covenants in the Loan Documents.
Section 7.4 Intentionally Omitted.
Section 7.5 Debt Service Reserve.
7.5.1 Debt Service Reserve Deposit.
On the Closing Date, Borrower shall deposit with Lender an amount equal to the Debt Service Reserve Deposit. Amounts so deposited shall be referred to as the “Debt Service Reserve”. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in lieu of depositing the Debt Service Reserve Deposit with Lender, Borrower shall have the option of delivery to Lender a Letter of Credit equal to the Debt Service Reserve Deposit.
7.5.2 Release of Debt Service Reserve.
Following the date which is twelve (12) months after the date that Borrower actually deposits funds in the Debt Service Reserve Deposit or delivers the Letter of Credit, upon written request from Borrower, Lender shall, on each Payment Date (until all funds in the Debt Service Reserve have been applied), apply a portion of the Debt Service Reserve or reduce the Letter of Credit by an amount equal to the Monthly Debt Service Payment Amount due for such Payment Date provided that (i) no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, (ii) the Debt Service Coverage Ratio for the twelve (12) full calendar month period immediately preceding the date of the applicable Payment Date (assuming an interest rate constant equal to the Cure Contract Rate) is at least equal to 1.65:1.00 (the “Required Application Ratio”). Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that Lender commences applying the funds in the Debt Service Reserve pursuant to Section 7.5 hereof (such period the “Application Period”) and the Required Application Ratio is not maintained during the Application Period, Lender shall suspend applying the Debt Service Reserve until the later of (i) the Payment Date that is three months from the date of such suspension and (ii) the Payment Date upon which the Required Application Ratio is achieved.
Section 7.6 Ground Lease Escrow Fund.
Borrower shall pay to Lender on each Payment Date, together with the scheduled payment of interest under the Loan each month, 1/12 of the annual amount (the “Monthly Ground Rent Deposit”) that is estimated by Lender to be due and payable by Borrower under the Ground Lease, the Miami Lease and the Miramar Parcel Lease for all rent and any and all other charges (collectively the “Ground Rent”) which may be due by Borrower under the Ground
- 99 -
Lease, the Miami Lease and the Miramar Parcel Lease in order to accumulate with Lender sufficient funds to pay all sums payable under the Ground Lease, the Miami Lease and the Miramar Parcel Lease, at least ten (10) Business Days prior to the dates due (said amounts, hereinafter called the “Ground Lease Escrow Fund”). The Ground Lease Escrow Fund is for the purpose of paying all sums due under the Ground Lease, the Miami Lease and the Miramar Parcel Lease. Provided Borrower is making Monthly Ground Rent Deposits and there are sufficient sums in the Ground Lease Escrow Fund or, if there are insufficient sums in the Ground Lease Escrow Fund, Borrower simultaneously pays any such deficiency to the ground lessor under the Ground Lease, the Miami Lease and the Miramar Parcel Lease, as applicable, Lender will apply any amounts held in the Ground Lease Escrow Fund to the payment of Ground Rent or other charges required to be made by Borrower pursuant to Section 5.1.25 hereof. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in lieu of depositing the Monthly Ground Rent Deposit, Borrower shall have the option of delivering to Lender a Letter of Credit equal to the annual Ground Rent due under each of the Ground Lease, the Miami Lease and the Miramar Parcel Lease, as calculated each year during the term of the Loan. Such deposit may be increased by Lender in the amount Lender deems is necessary in its reasonable discretion based on any increases in the rent due under the Ground Lease, the Miami Lease and the Miramar Parcel Lease. Borrower shall not be permitted to request a draw under the Letter of Credit.
Section 7.7 Intentionally Omitted.
Section 7.8 Reserve Funds, Generally.
(a) Borrower grants to Lender a first-priority perfected security interest in each of the Reserve Funds and the related Accounts and any and all monies now or hereafter deposited in each Reserve Fund and related Account as additional security for payment of the Debt. Until expended or applied in accordance herewith, the Reserve Funds and the related Accounts shall constitute additional security for the Debt.
(b) Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, Lender may, in addition to any and all other rights and remedies available to Lender, apply any sums then present in any or all of the Reserve Funds to the payment of the Debt in any order in its sole discretion.
(c) The Reserve Funds shall not constitute trust funds, shall be held in a segregated account and shall be held at the Lockbox Bank.
(d) The Reserve Funds shall be held in interest bearing accounts and all earnings or interest on a Reserve Fund shall be added to and become a part of such Reserve Fund and shall be disbursed in the same manner as other monies deposited in such Reserve Fund.
(e) Borrower shall not, without obtaining the prior written consent of Lender, further pledge, assign or grant any security interest in any Reserve Fund or related Account or the monies deposited therein or permit any lien or encumbrance to attach thereto, or any levy to be made thereon, or any UCC-1 Financing Statements, except those naming Lender as the secured party, to be filed with respect thereto.
(f) Borrower shall indemnify Lender and hold Lender harmless from and against any and all actions, suits, claims, demands, liabilities, losses, actual direct damages, obligations and costs and expenses (including litigation costs and reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses) arising from or in any way connected with the Reserve Funds or the related Accounts or the
- 100 -
performance of the obligations for which the Reserve Funds or the related Accounts were established, except to the extent caused by Lender’s or its agent’s or employee’s gross negligence or willful misconduct. Borrower shall assign to Lender all rights and claims Borrower may have against all persons or entities supplying labor, materials or other services which are to be paid from or secured by the Reserve Funds or the related Accounts; provided, however, that Lender may not pursue any such right or claim unless an Event of Default has occurred and remains uncured.

(b) Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default (other than an Event of Default described in clauses (vi), (vii) or (viii) above) and at any time thereafter, in addition to any other rights or remedies available to it pursuant to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents or at law or in equity, Lender may take such action, without notice or demand, that Lender deems advisable to protect and enforce its rights against Borrower and in and to all or the Property, including, without limitation, declaring the Debt to be immediately 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 any or all of the properties, including, without limitation, all rights or remedies available at law or in equity; and upon any Event of Default described in clauses (vi), (vii) or (viii) above, the Debt and all other obligations of Borrower hereunder and under the other Loan Documents shall immediately and automatically become due and payable, without notice or demand, and Borrower hereby expressly waives any such notice or demand, anything contained herein or in any other Loan Document to the contrary notwithstanding.
(c) Lender shall have the right, from time to time, to sever the Note and the other Loan Documents into one or more separate notes, Security Instrument and other security documents (the “Severed Loan Documents”) in such denominations as Lender shall determine in its sole discretion for purposes of evidencing and enforcing its rights and remedies provided hereunder. Borrower shall execute and deliver to Lender from time to time, promptly after the request of Lender, a severance agreement and such other documents as Lender shall request in order to effect the severance described in the preceding sentence, all in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Lender; provided that (i) the aggregate principal amount of the Loan immediately following such severance shall equal the outstanding principal balance of the Loan immediately prior to such reallocation, (ii) the aggregate Monthly Scheduled Amortization Payments immediately following such severance shall not exceed the aggregate Monthly Scheduled Amortization Payments immediately prior to the severance, (iii) the weighted average interest rate of the Note and the Mezzanine Note immediately following such severance shall equal the weighted average interest rate which was applicable to the Note and the Mezzanine Note immediately prior to such severance and (iv) except as provided in clauses (i) through and including (iii) above, Borrower’s, Guarantor’s and their Affiliates’ obligations under the Loan Documents shall not be increased nor shall any of Borrower’s and Guarantor’s and their Affiliates’ rights pursuant to the Loan Documents be diminished. Borrower hereby absolutely and irrevocably appoints Lender as its true and lawful attorney, coupled with an interest, in its name and stead to make and execute all documents necessary or desirable to effect the aforesaid severance, Borrower ratifying all that its said attorney shall do by virtue thereof; provided, however, Lender shall not make or execute any such documents under such power until ten (10) days after notice has been given to Borrower by Lender of Lender’s intent to exercise its rights under such power. The Severed Loan Documents shall not contain any representations,
- 105 -
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 date hereof, except for those representations and warranties which Borrower will update as of the Closing Date, which will be given as of the Closing Date.
Section 8.2 Remedies.
(a) Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, all or any one or more of the rights, powers, privileges and other remedies available to Lender against Borrower under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents executed and delivered by, or applicable to, Borrower or at law or in equity may be exercised by Lender at any time and from time to time, whether or not all or any of the Debt shall be declared due and payable, and whether or not Lender shall have commenced any foreclosure proceeding or other action for the enforcement of its rights and remedies under any of the Loan Documents with respect to all or the Property or any other Collateral. Any such actions taken by Lender shall be cumulative and concurrent and may be pursued independently, singly, successively, together or otherwise, at such time and in such order as Lender may determine in its sole discretion, to the fullest extent permitted by law, without impairing or otherwise affecting the other rights and remedies of Lender permitted by law, equity or contract or as set forth herein or in the other Loan Documents. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Borrower agrees that if an Event of Default is continuing, to the extent permitted by Applicable Law, (i) Lender is not subject to any “one action” or “election of remedies” law or rule, and (ii) all liens and other rights, remedies or privileges provided to Lender shall remain in full force and effect until Lender has exhausted all of its remedies against the Property and the other Collateral and each Security Instrument has been foreclosed, sold and/or otherwise realized upon in satisfaction of the Debt or the Debt has been paid in full.
(b) With respect to Borrower and the Property, nothing contained herein or in any other Loan Document shall be construed as requiring Lender to resort to the Property or Collateral for the satisfaction of any of the Debt in preference or priority to any other Collateral, and Lender may seek satisfaction out of the Property or all of the Collateral or any part thereof, in its absolute discretion in respect of the Debt. In addition, to the extent permitted by Applicable Law, Lender shall have the right from time to time to partially foreclose the Security Instrument in any manner and for any amounts secured by the Security Instrument then due and payable as determined by Lender in its sole discretion including, without limitation, the following circumstances: (i) in the event Borrower defaults beyond any applicable grace period in the payment of one or more scheduled payments of principal and interest, Lender may foreclose one or more of the Security Instrument to recover such delinquent payments, or (ii) in the event Lender elects to accelerate less than the entire outstanding principal balance of the Loan, Lender may foreclose the Security Instrument to recover so much of the principal balance of the Loan as Lender may accelerate and such other sums secured by the Security Instrument as Lender may elect. Notwithstanding one or more partial foreclosures, the Property shall remain subject to the Security Instrument to secure payment of sums secured by the Security Instrument and not previously recovered.
Section 8.3 Remedies Cumulative; Waivers.
The rights, powers and remedies of Lender under this Agreement shall be cumulative and not exclusive of any other right, power or remedy which Lender may have against Borrower pursuant to this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, or existing at law or in equity or
- 106 -
otherwise. Lender’s rights, powers and remedies may be pursued singularly, concurrently or otherwise, at such time and in such order as Lender may determine in Lender’s sole discretion. No delay or omission to exercise any remedy, right or power accruing upon an Event of Default shall impair any such remedy, right or power or shall be construed as a waiver thereof, but any such remedy, right or power may be exercised from time to time and as often as may be deemed expedient. A waiver of one or more Defaults or Events of Default with respect to Borrower shall not be construed to be a waiver of any subsequent Default or Event of Default by Borrower or to impair any remedy, right or power consequent thereon.
IX. SPECIAL PROVISIONS
Section 9.1 Sale of Notes and Securitization.
Lender may, at any time, sell, transfer or assign the Note, this Agreement, the Security Instrument and the other Loan Documents, and any or all servicing rights with respect thereto, or grant participations therein or issue mortgage pass-through certificates or other securities (the “Securities”) evidencing a beneficial interest in a rated or unrated public offering or private placement (a “Securitization”). At the request of the holder of the Note and, to the extent not already required to be provided by Borrower under this Agreement, Borrower shall, at Borrower’s expense (subject to the limitations set forth below), use reasonable efforts to satisfy the market standards to which the holder of the Note customarily adheres or which may be reasonably required in the marketplace or by the Rating Agencies in connection with a Securitization or the sale of the Note or the participations or Securities, including, without limitation, to:
(a) | (i) provide such financial and other information with respect to the Property, Borrower and the Manager, (ii) provide budgets relating to the Property and (iii) to perform or permit or cause to be performed or permitted, at Lender’s expense, such site inspection, appraisals, market studies, environmental reviews and reports (Phase I’s and, if appropriate, Phase II’s), engineering reports and other due diligence investigations of the Property, as may be reasonably requested by the holder of the Note or the Rating Agencies or as may be necessary or appropriate in connection with the Securitization (the “Provided Information”), provided, however Phase II reports and other invasive testing may not be performed at the Property unless Borrower has received evidence of insurance for any Person performing such testing, together, if customary, with appropriate verification and/or consents of the Provided Information through letters of auditors or opinions of counsel of independent attorneys acceptable to Lender and the Rating Agencies; |
(b) | if required by the Rating Agencies, deliver (i) revised and/or updated opinions of counsel as to non-consolidation, due execution and enforceability with respect to the Property, Borrower, Guarantor, Indemnitor, Principal and their respective Affiliates and the Loan Documents, and (ii) revised organizational documents as they relate to the single purpose bankruptcy remoteness of Borrower and/or Principal and if Borrower is a single member limited liability company organized in the State of Delaware, dissolution and authority to file bankruptcy (provided, however, no such revisions to Borrower’s or Principal’s organizational |
- 107 -
documents shall have a material adverse effect on Borrower and/or Principal, as applicable) which counsel, opinions and organizational documents shall be satisfactory to Lender and the Rating Agencies; |
(c) | if required by the Rating Agencies, use commercially reasonable efforts to deliver such additional tenant estoppel letters, subordination agreements or other agreements from parties to agreements that affect the Property, which estoppel letters, subordination agreements or other agreements shall be satisfactory to Lender and the Rating Agencies. |
(d) | execute such amendments to the Loan Documents and organizational documents, as may be requested by the holder of the Note or the Rating Agencies or otherwise to effect the Securitization; provided, however, that Borrower shall not be required to modify or amend any organizational document or Loan Document if such modification or amendment would (except for modifications and amendments required to be made pursuant to Section (e) below,) (i) change the interest rate, the stated maturity or the amortization of principal set forth in the Note, or (ii) modify or amend any other material economic or material non-economic term of the organizational documents or Loan Documents. |
(e) | if Lender elects, in its sole discretion, prior to or upon a Securitization, to split the Loan into two or more parts, or the Note into multiple component notes or tranches which may have different interest rates, amortization payments, principal amounts and maturities. Borrower agrees to cooperate with Lender in connection with the foregoing and to execute the required modifications and amendments to the Note, this Agreement and the Loan Documents and to provide opinions necessary to effectuate the same; provided, however Borrower shall not be required to modify or amend any Loan Documents if (i) the initial weighted average interest rate of such split notes would be greater than the Applicable Interest Rate immediately preceding such loan split or (ii) such modification or amendment would change the Maturity Date or Monthly Scheduled Amortization payment or (iii) the aggregate scheduled amortization payments exceed the Monthly Scheduled Amortization Payments, provided, that, notwithstanding the provisions below, Borrower shall not be responsible for the payment of any title insurance premiums required by Lender in connection with the foregoing, but Borrower shall be responsible for all other cost and expenses (subject to the limitations set forth below) in complying with this Section 9.1(e). |
(f) | execute modifications to the Loan Documents changing the interest rate and/or the amortization payments for the Loan and the Mezzanine Loan, provided that the initial weighted average of the interest rate spreads for the Loan and the Mezzanine Loan after such modification shall not exceed the weighted average of the interest rate spreads for the Loan and the Mezzanine Loan immediately prior to such modification and the scheduled amortization payments after such modification will not exceed the Monthly Scheduled Amortization Payments, if any, due under the Loan Agreement and the Mezzanine Loan Agreement immediately prior to such modification. The Borrower shall also provide opinions and title insurance reasonably necessary to effectuate the same; |
- 108 -
(g) | make such representations and warranties as of the closing date of the Securitization with respect to the Property, Borrower, and the Loan Documents as are customarily provided in securitization transactions and as may be reasonably requested by the holder of the Note or the Rating Agencies and consistent with the facts covered by such representations and warranties as they exist on the date thereof, including the representations and warranties made in the Loan Documents; and |
(h) | supply to Lender such documentation, financial statements and reports in form and substance required for Lender to comply with Regulation S-X of the federal securities law, if and to the extent applicable to the Securitization. |
Lender shall pay all costs in connection with complying with this Section 9.1 except that Borrower shall pay for the fees of legal counsel employed by Borrower, Principal, Wyndham and/or any Affiliate of any of the foregoing, in connection with any modifications to the Loan Documents or review of opinions, documents, agreements or similar items which are delivered by Borrower, Principal, Wyndham, or any Affiliate of the foregoing in connection with complying with Section 9.1 hereof. The limitation on costs and expenses set forth in the foregoing sentence shall in no way affect Borrower’s obligation to comply with this Section 9.1.
Section 9.2 Securitization Indemnification.
(a) Borrower and Guarantor understand that certain of the Provided Information may be included in disclosure documents in connection with the Securitization, including, without limitation, a prospectus, prospectus supplement or private placement memorandum (each, a “Disclosure Document”) and may also be included in filings (the “Exchange Act Filing”) with the Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), or the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), or provided or made available to investors or prospective investors in the Securities, the Rating Agencies, and service providers relating to the Securitization. In the event that the Disclosure Document is required to be revised prior to the sale of all Securities, Borrower and Guarantor will cooperate with the holder of the Note in updating the Disclosure Document by providing all current information necessary to keep the Disclosure Document accurate and complete in all material respects.
(b) Borrower and Guarantor agree to provide in connection with each of (i) a preliminary and a final private placement memorandum or offering circular or (ii) a preliminary and final prospectus or prospectus supplement, as applicable (collectively, the “Offering Materials”), an indemnification certificate (A) certifying that Borrower has carefully examined such memorandum or prospectus, as applicable, including without limitation, the sections entitled “Special Considerations,” “Description of the Mortgages,” “Description of the Mortgage Loan and Mortgaged Property,” “The Manager,” “The Borrower” and “Certain Legal Aspects of the Mortgage Loan,” and such sections (and any other sections reasonably requested to the extent the same relate to the Loan, the Loan Documents, Borrower, Guarantor, Indemnitor, Principal or an Affiliate of any of the foregoing) do not (and with respect to any portion of the Offering Materials prepared in reliance on the reports of third-parties, to the best of Borrower’s
- 109 -
knowledge, do not) contain any untrue statement of a materiel fact or omit to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements made, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, (B) indemnifying Lender (and for purposes of this Section 9.2, Lender hereunder shall include its officers and directors), the Affiliate of Xxxxxx Brothers Inc. (“Xxxxxx”) that has filed the registration statement, if any, relating to the securitization (the “Registration Statement”), each of its directors, each of its officers who have signed the Registration Statement and each Person or entity who controls the Affiliate within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act (collectively, the “Xxxxxx Group”), and Xxxxxx, each of its directors and each Person who controls Xxxxxx within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act and Section 20 of the Exchange Act (collectively, the “Underwriter Group”) for any losses, claims, damages or liabilities (collectively, the “Liabilities”) to which Lender, the Xxxxxx Group or the Underwriter Group may become subject insofar as the Liabilities arise out of or are based upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of any material fact contained in such sections (other than such statement or misstatement made in Borrower’s good faith reliance upon the reports of third parties that do not to the best of Borrower’s knowledge, contain any untrue statement or misstatement or a material fact necessary in order to make the statements made, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading) or arise out of or are based upon the omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated in such sections or necessary in order to make the statements in such sections or in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading and (C) agreeing to reimburse Lender, the Xxxxxx Group and the Underwriter Group for any legal or other out-of-pocket expenses reasonably incurred by Lender and Xxxxxx in connection with investigating or defending the Liabilities; provided, however, that Borrower will be liable in any such case under clauses (B) or (C) above only to the extent that any such loss claim, damage or liability arises out of or is based upon any such untrue statement or omission made therein in reliance upon and in conformity with information furnished to Lender by or on behalf of Borrower in connection with the preparation of the memorandum or prospectus or in connection with the underwriting of the debt, including, without limitation, financial statements of Borrower, operating statements, rent rolls, environmental site assessment reports and property condition reports with respect to the Property but excluding any projections made in good faith by Borrower; and provided that this Section 9.2 shall not apply to any loss, claim, damage or liability to the extent arising out of any untrue statement, misstatement or omission or alleged untrue statement, misstatement or omission made in reliance upon and in connection with written information furnished to Borrower by Lender, any member of the Xxxxxx Group or any member of the Underwriter Group expressly for use in the Offering Materials unless Borrower, Principal or Guarantor fails to correct any such untrue statement, misstatement or omission with respect to Borrower, Principal or Indemnitor that is known to Borrower, Principal or Guarantor or that, with the exercise of customary reasonable efforts, should be known to Borrower, Principal or Guarantor. The foregoing indemnity with respect to any untrue statement or misstatement contained in, or omission from, preliminary Offering Materials shall not inure to the benefit of any member of the Xxxxxx Group or the Underwriting Group (or any person controlling such Xxxxxx Group or Underwriting Group) from whom the Person asserting any such loss, liability, claim, damage or expense purchased any of the securities which are the subject thereof if Borrower shall sustain the burden of proving that any such loss, liability, claim, damage or expense resulted from the fact that such Person was not provided with a copy of the final Offering Materials at or prior to the written confirmation of the sale of such securities to such Person and the loss, liability, claim, damage or expense resulted from an untrue statement or misstatement contained in, or omission from, the preliminary Offering Materials that was corrected in the final Offering Materials. This indemnity agreement will be in addition to any liability which Borrower may otherwise have. Moreover, the
- 110 -
indemnification provided for in Clauses (B) and (C) above shall be effective whether or not an indemnification certificate described in (A) above is provided and shall be applicable based on information previously provided by Borrower or its Affiliates if Borrower does not provide the indemnification certificate.
(c) In connection with filings under the Exchange Act, Borrower and Guarantor agree to indemnify (i) Lender, the Xxxxxx Group and the Underwriter Group for Liabilities to which Lender, the Xxxxxx Group or the Underwriter Group may become subject insofar as the Liabilities arise out of or are based upon the omission or alleged omission to state in the Provided Information a material fact required to be stated in the Provided Information in order to make the statements in the Provided Information, in light of the circumstances under which they were made not misleading (other than any such statement, misstatement or omission made in reliance upon the reports of third parties that do not, to the best of Borrower’s knowledge, contain any untrue statement or misstatement, of a material fact or omit to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements made, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading) and (ii) reimburse Lender, the Xxxxxx Group or the Underwriter Group for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by Lender, the Xxxxxx Group or the Underwriter Group in connection with defending or investigating the Liabilities. The foregoing indemnity shall not apply with respect to any Liabilities that arise out of or are based upon any untrue statement, misstatement or omission or any alleged untrue statement, misstatement or omission to state in the Provided Information a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not materially misleading, if such untrue statement, misstatement or omission or alleged untrue statement, misstatement or omission related to statements of information that do not accurately reflect Provided Information or any corrections or updates to Provided Information which were provided prior to the delivery of the final Offering Materials to investors and neither Borrower, Principal nor Indemnitor has been given reasonable opportunity to review the proposed filing under the Exchange Act and to correct such untrue statement, misstatement or omission. In no event shall the indemnification, contribution or reimbursement obligations of Borrower under this Section 9.2 apply to any filings made under the Exchange Act after the initial filings, if any, are made.
(d) Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party under this Section 9.2 of notice of the commencement of any action, such indemnified party will, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against the indemnifying party under this Section 9.2, notify the indemnifying party in writing of the commencement thereof, but the omission to so notify the indemnifying party will not relieve the indemnifying party from any liability which the indemnifying party may have to any indemnified party hereunder except to the extent that failure to notify causes prejudice to the indemnifying party. In the event that any action is brought against any indemnified party, and it notifies the indemnifying party of the commencement thereof, the indemnifying party will be entitled, jointly with any other indemnifying party, to participate therein and, to the extent that it (or they) may elect by written notice delivered to the indemnified party promptly after receiving the aforesaid notice from such indemnified party, to assume the defense thereof with counsel satisfactory to such indemnified party. After notice from the indemnifying party to such indemnified party under this Section 9.2 the indemnifying party shall not be responsible for any legal or other expenses subsequently incurred by such indemnified xxxxx in connection with the defense thereof other than reasonable costs of investigation; provided, however, if the defendants in any such action include both the indemnified party and the indemnifying party and the indemnified party shall have reasonably concluded that there are any legal defenses available to it and/or other indemnified parties that are different from or additional to those available to the
- 111 -
indemnifying party, the indemnified party or parties shall have the right to select separate counsel to assert such legal defenses and to otherwise participate in the defense of such action on behalf of such indemnified party to parties. The Indemnified Person shall have the right to employ separate counsel in any such action and to participate in the defense thereof but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of such Indemnified Person unless: (i) the employment thereof has been specifically authorized by Borrower in writing; or (ii) in such claims or action there is, in the reasonable opinion of independent counsel, a conflict concerning any material issue between the position of Borrower and such Indemnified Person, in which case if such Indemnified Person notifies Borrower in writing that it elects to employ separate counsel at the expense of Borrower, then such counsel shall have the right to assume the defense of such action on behalf of such Indemnified Person; provided, however, that unless, in the reasonable opinion of independent counsel, an actual or potential conflict exists between two or more Indemnified Persons, Borrower shall not be required to pay the fees and disbursements of more than one separate counsel for all Indemnified Persons. Nothing set forth herein is intended to or shall impair the right of any Indemnified Person to retain separate counsel at its own expense.
(e) In order to provide for just and equitable contribution in circumstances in which the indemnifications provided for in Section 9.2(b) or (c) is or are for any reason held to be unenforceable by an indemnified party in respect of any Liabilities (or action in respect thereof) referred to therein which would otherwise be indemnifiable under Section 9.2(b) or (c), the indemnifying party shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by the indemnified party as a result of such Liabilities (or action in respect thereof); provided, however, that no Person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any Person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation. In determining the amount of contribution to which the respective parties are entitled, the following factors shall be considered: (i) Xxxxxx’x and Borrower’s relative knowledge and access to information concerning the matter with respect to which claim was asserted; (ii) the opportunity to correct and prevent any statement or omission; and (iii) any other equitable considerations appropriate in the circumstances. Lender and Borrower hereby agree that it would not be equitable if the amount of such contribution were determined by pro rata or per capita allocation.
(f) The liabilities and obligations of each of Borrower, Guarantor and Lender under this Section 9.2 shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the satisfaction and discharge of the Debt.
Section 9.3 Servicer.
At the option of Lender, the Loan may be serviced by a servicer/trustee (the “Servicer’) selected by Lender and Lender may delegate all or any portion of its responsibilities under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents to the Servicer pursuant to a servicing agreement (the “Servicing Agreement”) between Lender and Servicer. Borrower shall not be responsible for the payment of the monthly primary servicing fee in connection with the Loan; provided, however, Borrower shall be responsible in accordance with Section 10.13 hereof and the other applicable provisions of this Agreement for all other reasonable and customary fees and charges incurred by the Servicer in administering the terms and provisions of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.
- 112 -
Section 9.4 Exculpation.
(a) Except as otherwise provided herein, Lender shall not enforce the liability and obligation of Borrower to perform and observe the representations warranties and obligations contained in the Note, this Agreement, the Security Instrument or the other Loan Documents by any action or proceeding wherein a money judgment shall be sought against Borrower, except that Lender may bring a foreclosure action, action for specific performance or other appropriate action or proceeding to enable Lender to enforce and realize upon its interest in the Note, this Agreement, the Security Instrument, the other Loan Documents, and the interest in the Property, the Rents, the Collateral and any other collateral given to Lender pursuant to the Note, this Agreement, the Security Instrument or the other Loan Documents; provided, however, that any judgment in any such action or proceeding shall be enforceable against Borrower only to the extent of Borrower’s interest in the Property, in the Rent, the Collateral and in any other collateral given to Lender. In no event shall any Related Party have any personal liability for the payment of the indebtedness or any other sums due hereunder, under the Note, the Security Instrument or the other Loan Documents, or for the performance or observance of any other obligation of Borrower other than pursuant to a written instrument executed by such Related Party specifically providing for such liability. Lender, by accepting the Note, this Agreement and the Security Instrument, agrees that it shall not, except as otherwise provided herein xxx for, seek or demand any deficiency judgment against Borrower and/or any Related Party in any such action or proceeding, under or by reason of or under or in connection with the Note, this Agreement, the other Loan Documents or the Security Instrument. The provisions of this Section shall not, however, (i) constitute a waiver, release or impairment of any obligation evidenced or secured by the Note, this Agreement, the other Loan Documents or the Security Instrument; (ii) impair the right of Lender to name Borrower as a party defendant in any action or suit for judicial foreclosure and sale under the Security Instrument; (iii) affect the validity or enforceability of any indemnity (including, without limitation, the Environmental Indemnity), guaranty, master lease or similar instrument made in connection with the Note, this Agreement, the Security Instrument, or the other Loan Documents, (iv) impair the right of Lender to obtain the appointment of a receiver; (v) impair the enforcement of the Assignment of Leases; (vi) impair the right of Lender to enforce the provisions of Sections 4.1.8, 4.1.29, 5.1.9 and 5.2.8 of this Agreement; or (vii) impair the right of Lender to obtain a deficiency judgment or other judgment on the Note against Borrower if necessary to preserve or enforce its rights and remedies against any Collateral, including any insurance proceeds or condemnation awards to which Lender would otherwise be entitled under this Agreement or the Security Instrument; provided however, Lender shall only enforce such judgment against such Collateral, including the insurance proceeds and/or condemnation awards, as applicable.
(b) Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 9.4 to the contrary, Borrower shall be personally liable to Lender for the direct, actual Losses it incurs due to: (i) fraud or intentional misrepresentation by any Borrower or any other person or entity in connection with the execution and the delivery of the Note, this Agreement, the Security Instrument or the other Loan Documents; (ii) any Borrower’s intentional misapplication or misappropriation of Rents received by Borrower after the occurrence of an Event of Default; (iii) any Borrower’s intentional misapplication or misappropriation of tenant security deposits or Rents collected more than one month in advance; (iv) the intentional misapplication or the misappropriation of Insurance Proceeds or Awards; (v) any Borrower’s failure to pay Taxes, Other Charges, Ground Rent, charges for labor or materials or other charges that can create liens on any of the Property (except to the extent that sums sufficient to pay such amounts have been deposited in the Lockbox Account or are otherwise in escrow with Lender pursuant to the terms of this Agreement) but only to the extent that the Property Net Operating Income available to Borrower was sufficient to permit Borrower to pay the same when due; (vi) Borrower’s failure to return or
- 113 -
to reimburse Lender for all Personal Property taken from the Property by or on behalf of Borrower after the occurrence of an Event of Default and in violation of the terms of this Agreement and the Security Instrument and not replaced with Personal Property of the same utility and of the same or greater value; (vii) any act of actual intentional waste or arson by Borrower, any Principal, Affiliate or general partner thereof or by any Indemnitor or Guarantor which is not attributable to a lack of sufficient Net Operating Income available to Borrower from the Property to perform all of Borrower’s or such Affiliate’s obligations under the Note, this Agreement, the Security Instrument or the other Loan Documents; (viii) any fees or commissions paid by any Borrower to any principal, Affiliate or general partner of Borrower, Indemnitor or Guarantor in violation of the terms of the Note, this Agreement, the Security Instrument or the other Loan Documents; (ix) any Borrower’s failure to comply with the provisions of Sections 4.1.41 and 5.1.19 hereof; or (x) if the Property or any part thereof shall become an asset in an involuntary bankruptcy or insolvency proceeding commenced by any Person (other than Lender) and Borrower fails to use its commercially reasonable efforts to obtain a dismissal of such proceedings.
(c) Notwithstanding the foregoing, the agreement of Lender not to pursue recourse liability as set forth in Subsection (a) above SHALL BECOME NULL AND VOID and shall be of no further force and effect as to Borrower (but not to any Related Party other than pursuant to a written instrument executed by such Related Party specifically providing for such liability) (i) in the event of any Borrower’s willful default to provide a report or information under Section 5.1.10(b), (c), (f), (h), (i), (j), (k) and (l) hereof, but a failure to provide such reports and information shall not be deemed willful if such failure is the result of good faith error and is cured within ten (10) Business Days after notice is delivered to Borrower, provided, however, that if (x) Borrower is prevented by an unaffiliated third party from delivering such information, and (y) Borrower uses reasonable efforts (including the reasonable expenditure of money) to obtain such information, then such failure shall not be deemed willful so long as Borrower continuously endeavors in good faith to obtain the required financial reports and information and delivers same to Lender as soon as it becomes available to Borrower, (ii) in the event of a default under Section 4.1.37 of this Agreement such that either (A) such failure was considered by a court as a factor in the court’s finding for a consolidation of the assets of Borrower with the assets of another person or entity or (B) as a result thereof, Lender suffers any material damage, cost, liability, or expense (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements, whether or not litigation has commenced); provided, however, that in the absence of an actual consolidation, recourse may be had against Borrower only to the extent of Losses for its failure to comply with the provisions of Section 4.1.37 or, (iii) in the event of a default under Section 5.2.12 of this Agreement or Article 7 of the Security Instrument; provided, however, if an agent or employee of Borrower or the manager of the Property enters into an Equipment lease or Equipment financing in violation of the Security Instrument and without express authorization from an executive officer of Borrower, Indemnitor or Guarantor then such violation for purposes of this subsection (iii) shall not result in a nullification of subsection 9.4(a) hereof (but Borrower shall be liable for all Losses related to such violation) so long as such Equipment lease or Equipment financing is terminated and released to Lender’s reasonable satisfaction within ten (10) Business Days of the earlier of (x) Lender’s notice to Borrower of such violation or (y) the date that any executive officer of Borrower or of Indemnitor or Guarantor actually becomes aware of such violation; or (iv) if the Property or any part thereof shall become an asset in a voluntary bankruptcy or insolvency proceeding; or (v) if the first full Monthly Debt Service Payment Amount is not paid when due.
- 114 -
(d) Nothing herein shall be deemed to be a waiver of any right which Lender may have under Section 506(a), 506(6), 1111(b) or any other provision of the Bankruptcy Code to file a claim for the full amount of the indebtedness secured by the Security Instrument or to require that all collateral shall continue to secure all of the indebtedness owing to Lender in accordance with the Note, this Agreement, the Security Instrument and the other Loan Documents.

Lender shall have the continuing and exclusive right to apply or reverse and reapply any and all payments by Borrower to any portion of the obligations of Borrower hereunder.

Section 10.11 Waiver of Notice.
Borrower shall not be entitled to any notices of any nature whatsoever from Lender except with respect to matters for which this Agreement or the other Loan Documents specifically and expressly provide for the giving of notice by Lender to Borrower and except with respect to matters for which Borrower is not, pursuant to applicable Legal Requirements, permitted to waive the giving of notice. Borrower hereby expressly waives the right to receive any notice from Lender with respect to any matter for which this Agreement or the other Loan Documents do not specifically and expressly provide for the giving of notice by Lender to Borrower.
Section 10.12 Remedies of Borrower.
In the event that a claim or adjudication is made that Lender or its agents have acted unreasonably or unreasonably delayed acting in any case where by law or under this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, Lender or such agent, as the case may be, has an obligation to act reasonably or promptly, Borrower agrees that neither Lender nor its agents shall be liable for any monetary damages, and Borrower’s sole remedies shall be limited to commencing an action seeking injunctive relief or declaratory judgment. The parties hereto agree that any action or proceeding to determine whether Lender has acted reasonably shall be determined by an action seeking declaratory judgment.
Section 10.13 Expenses; Indemnity.
(a) Except as otherwise expressly provided herein or in any of the other Loan Documents, Borrower covenants and agrees to pay or, if Borrower fails to pay, to reimburse, Lender upon receipt of written notice from Lender for all reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements) incurred by Lender in connection with (i) the preparation, negotiation, execution and delivery of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby and all the costs of furnishing all opinions by counsel for Borrower (including, without limitation, any opinions requested by Lender as to any legal matters arising under this Agreement or the other Loan Documents with respect to the Property); (ii) Borrower’s ongoing performance of and compliance with Borrower’s respective agreements and covenants contained in this Agreement and the other Loan Documents on its part to be performed or complied with after the date hereof, including, without limitation, confirming compliance with environmental and insurance requirements; (iii) Lender’s ongoing performance and compliance with all agreements and conditions contained in this Agreement and the other Loan Documents on its part to be performed or complied with after the date hereof; (iv) the negotiation, preparation, execution, delivery and administration of any consents, amendments, waivers or other
- 119 -
modifications to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and any other documents or matters requested by Lender; (v) securing Borrower’s compliance with any requests made pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement; (vi) the filing and recording fees and expenses, title insurance and reasonable fees and expenses of counsel for providing to Lender all required legal opinions, and other similar expenses incurred in creating and perfecting the Liens in favor of Lender pursuant to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents; (vii) enforcing or preserving any rights, in response to third party claims or the prosecuting or defending of any action or proceeding or other litigation, in each case against, under or affecting Borrower, this Agreement, the other Loan Documents, the Property, or any other security given for the Loan; and (viii) enforcing any obligations of or collecting any payments due from Borrower under this Agreement, the other Loan Documents or with respect to the Property or in connection with any refinancing or restructuring of the credit arrangements provided under this Agreement in the nature of a “work-out” or of any insolvency or bankruptcy proceedings; provided, however, that Borrower shall not be liable for the payment of any such costs and expenses to the extent the same arise by reason of the gross negligence, illegal acts, fraud or willful misconduct of Lender. Any cost and expenses due and payable to Lender may be paid from any amounts in the Lockbox Account.
(b) Borrower shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless Lender from and against any and all direct, actual liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, claims, costs, expenses and disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever (including, without limitation, the reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel for Lender in connection with any investigative, administrative or judicial proceeding commenced or threatened, whether or not Lender shall be designated a party thereto), that may be imposed on, incurred by, or asserted against Lender in any manner relating to or arising out of (i) any breach by Borrower of its obligations under, or any material misrepresentation by Borrower contained in, this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, or (ii) the use or intended use of the proceeds of the Loan (collectively, the “Indemnified Liabilities”); provided, however, that Borrower shall not have any obligation to Lender hereunder to the extent that such Indemnified Liabilities arise from the gross negligence, illegal acts, fraud or willful misconduct of Lender, its employees or agents. To the extent that the undertaking to indemnify, defend and hold harmless set forth in the preceding sentence may be unenforceable because it violates any law or public policy, Borrower shall pay the maximum portion that it is permitted to pay and satisfy under applicable law to the payment and satisfaction of all Indemnified Liabilities incurred by Lender.
(c) Borrower shall, at its sole cost and expense, protect, defend, indemnify, release and hold harmless the Lender and the Indemnified Parties from and against any and all losses (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs incurred in the investigation, defense, and settlement of losses incurred in correcting any prohibited transaction or in the sale of a prohibited loan, and in obtaining any individual prohibited transaction exemption under ERISA, the Code, any State statute or other similar law that may be required, in Lender’s sole discretion) that Lender may incur, directly or indirectly, as a result of a default under Sections 4.1.8 or 5.2.8 hereof.
(d) Borrower covenants and agrees to pay for or, if Borrower fails to pay, to reimburse Lender for, (i) any fees and expenses incurred by any Rating Agency in connection with any Rating Agency review of the Loan, the Loan Documents or any transaction contemplated thereby as a result of the initial successful Securitization of the Loan and any Rating Agency confirmations that may be required by this Agreement and the other Loan Documents or (ii) any consent, approval, waiver or confirmation obtained from such Rating
- 120 -
Agency pursuant to the terms and conditions of this Agreement or any other Loan Document and Lender shall be entitled to require payment of such fees and expenses as a condition precedent to the obtaining of any such consent, approval, waiver or confirmation.
Section 10.14 Schedules 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 10.15 Offsets, Counterclaims and Defenses.
Any assignee of Lender’s interest in and to this Agreement, the Note and the other Loan Documents shall take the same free and clear of all offsets, counterclaims or defenses which are unrelated to such documents which Borrower may otherwise have against any assignor of such documents, and no such unrelated counterclaim or defense shall be interposed or asserted by Borrower in any action or proceeding brought by any such assignee upon such documents and any such right to interpose or assert any such unrelated offset, counterclaim or defense in any such action or proceeding is hereby expressly waived by Borrower.
Section 10.16 No Joint Venture or Partnership; No Third Party Beneficiaries.
(a) Borrower and Lender intend that the relationships created hereunder and under the other Loan Documents be solely that of borrower and lender. Nothing herein or therein is intended to create a joint venture, partnership, tenancy-in-common, or joint tenancy relationship between Borrower and Lender nor to grant Lender any interest in the Property other than that of mortgagee, beneficiary or lender.
(b) This Agreement and the other Loan Documents are solely for the benefit of Lender and Borrower and nothing contained in this Agreement or the other Loan Documents shall be deemed to confer upon anyone other than Lender and Borrower any right to insist upon or to enforce the performance or observance of any of the obligations contained herein or therein. All conditions to the obligations of Lender to make the Loan hereunder are imposed solely and exclusively for the benefit of Lender and no other Person shall have standing to require satisfaction of such conditions in accordance with their terms or be entitled to assume that Lender will refuse to make the Loan in the absence of strict compliance with any or all thereof and no other Person shall under any circumstances be deemed to be a beneficiary of such conditions, any or all of which may be freely waived in whole or in part by Lender if, in Lender’s sole discretion, Lender deems it advisable or desirable to do so.
Section 10.17 Publicity.
All news releases, publicity or advertising by Borrower or their Affiliates through any media intended to reach the general public which refers to the Loan Documents or the financing evidenced by the Loan Documents, to Lender, Xxxxxx, or any of their Affiliates shall be subject to the prior written approval of Lender.
Section 10.18 Waiver of Marshalling of Assets.
(a) To the fullest extent permitted by law, Borrower, for itself and its successors and assigns, waives all rights to a marshalling of the assets of Borrower, Borrower’s partners and/or shareholders, as applicable, and others with interests in Borrower, and of the Property, or to a
- 121 -
sale in inverse order of alienation in the event of foreclosure of all or any of the Security Instrument, 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 Debt without any prior or different resort for collection or of the right of Lender to the payment of the Debt out of the net proceeds of the Property in preference to every other claimant whatsoever.
Section 10.19 Waiver of Counterclaim.
Borrower hereby waives the right to assert a counterclaim, other than a compulsory counterclaim, in any action or proceeding brought against it by Lender or its agents, but Borrower does not waive its right to assert any such claim in a separate action, provided that such separate action does not prevent the application of payments to the Debt.
Section 10.20 Conflict; Construction of Documents; Reliance.
In the event of any conflict between the provisions of this Agreement and any of the other Loan Documents, the provisions of this Agreement shall control. The parties hereto acknowledge that they were represented by competent counsel in connection with the negotiation, drafting and execution of the Loan Documents and that such Loan Documents shall not be subject to the principle of construing their meaning against the party which drafted same. Borrower acknowledges that, with respect to the Loan, Borrower shall rely solely on its own judgment and advisors in entering into the Loan without relying in any manner on any statements, representations or recommendations of Lender or any parent, subsidiary or Affiliate of Lender. Lender shall not be subject to any limitation whatsoever in the exercise of any rights or remedies available to it under any of the Loan Documents or any other agreements or instruments which govern the Loan by virtue of the ownership by it or any parent, subsidiary or Affiliate of Lender of any equity interest any of them may acquire in Borrower, and Borrower hereby irrevocably waives the right to raise any defense or take any action on the basis of the foregoing with respect to Lender’s exercise of any such rights or remedies. Borrower acknowledges that Lender engages in the business of real estate financings and other real estate transactions and investments which may be viewed as adverse to or competitive with the business of Borrower or its Affiliates.

Borrower hereby represents that it has dealt with no financial advisors, brokers, underwriters, placement agents, agents or finders in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. Borrower hereby agrees to indemnify, defend and hold Lender harmless from and against any and all claims, liabilities, costs and expenses of any kind (including Lender’s reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses) in any way relating to or arising from a claim by any Person that such Person acted on behalf of Borrower or Lender in connection with the transactions contemplated herein. The provisions of this Section 10.21 shall survive the expiration and termination of this Agreement and the payment of the Debt.
Section 10.22 Prior Agreements.
This Agreement and the other Loan Documents contain the entire agreement of the parties hereto and thereto in respect of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby, and all prior agreements among or between such parties, whether oral or written, between Borrower and/or its Affiliates and Lender are superseded by the terms of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.

Ladies and Gentlemen:
XXXXXXX DE PUERTO RICO ASSOCIATES, INCORPORATED (the “Borrower”) has borrowed a loan (the “Loan”) from XXXXXX BROTHERS HOLDINGS INC. D/B/A XXXXXX CAPITAL, A DIVISION OF XXXXXX BROTHERS HOLDINGS INC, (the “Lender”), which Loan is secured by a mortgage on certain property owned by the Borrower described in the caption of this letter (the “Property”). The Property is currently being managed by Xxxxxxxx Hospitality Group Inc. and WMC Puerto Rico, Inc. (collectively the “Manager”).
Currently, the Borrower maintains the following account (the “Property Account”) with you:
Name: |
[ ] | |
Account No.: |
[ ] |
The Borrower hereby notifies you that the Lender has required that the Borrower implement certain automatic clearing and processing functions and hereby instructs you, commencing on , 2003, to disburse all revenues from the Property (“Revenues”) deposited in the Property Account from time to time in accordance with the following terms and provisions:
Promptly upon receipt of this agreement, you shall establish an account to which the Borrower shall cause all Revenues in the form of checks, money orders and similar instruments to be deposited. Within one business day of receipt, you, as the “Property Account Bank,” shall receive and process all Revenues and shall deposit the same into the Property Account referred to above. Items deposited with Property Account Bank that are returned for insufficient or uncollected funds will be redeposited the first time. Items returned unpaid a second time shall be debited to the Property Account and returned to the Borrower.
The Property Account shall be an account of the Borrower but shall be under the sole dominion and control of the Lender and any servicer (a “Servicer”) or other designee of the Lender named below or in a subsequent written notice from the Lender. The Property Account shall be assigned the federal tax identification number of the Borrower. You shall hold amounts on deposit in the Property Account as agent for the Lender and shall not commingle such amounts
A-2
with any other amounts held by you on behalf of the Lender, the Borrower or any other person or entity. If, in accordance with standard operating procedures, the Property Account may be established as a trust account for the benefit of the Lender, Borrower directs that the Property Account be maintained as such an account.
The Borrower hereby notifies the Property Account Bank that, in accordance with that certain Loan Agreement dated as of , 2003, between Borrower and Lender (the “Loan Agreement”), the Property Account and all amounts held therein from time to time, and all renewals, replacements and substitutions therefore, have been irrevocably pledged to the Lender as additional security for the Loan. In connection with such pledge, the Borrower hereby waives all right of withdrawal from the Property Account and any other right to direct disposition of the funds in the Property Account. Lender shall have the sole right to direct disposition of the funds in the deposit account and may make such direction without having to obtain any consent of Borrower.
Property Account Bank shall transfer, on each Puerto Rico Business Day (as defined in the Loan Agreement) that is also a Business Day (as defined in the Loan Agreement), all available amounts on deposit in the Property Account via the ACH System, if available, or otherwise by wire transfer, to the following account:

If the Property Account Bank provides electronic data transfer services, the Property Account Bank shall provide the Lender and the Servicer access to the Property Account Bank’s electronic data transfer system for purposes of effecting such transfers. At any time that funds may not be transferred as described above in this paragraph, the Property Account Bank shall transfer amounts by wire transfer of immediately available funds.
The instructions set forth herein are irrevocable and are not subject to modification in any manner, except that the Lender or the Servicer may, by written notice to you, amend the instructions contained herein.
The Borrower hereby agrees that if the bank, bank location or account number of the Property Account is changed, the Borrower will execute a new agreement substantially similar to this agreement with respect to such new bank, bank location or account number and deliver such new letter to the Lender.
A-3
In the event that the Property Account Bank fails to acknowledge that its procedures with respect to the Property Account are governed by this agreement due to an objection to the terms hereof or otherwise, the Borrower hereby appoints the Lender as its attorney-in-fact with full authority to make changes to this agreement and to execute on behalf of the Borrower any new modified letter acceptable to the proposed Property Account Bank.
Matters not covered by this agreement shall be determined in accordance with the customary procedures of the Property Account Bank and in the event of a conflict between the terms of this letter and the customary procedures of the Property Account Bank, the terms of this agreement shall govern.
Borrower agrees to defend, indemnify and hold Property Account Bank and its directors, officers, employees, attorneys, successors and assigns harmless from and against any and all claims, losses, liabilities, costs, damages and expenses, including, without limitation, reasonable legal and accounting fees, arising out of or in any way related to this agreement, excepting only liability arising out of Property Account Bank’s gross negligence or willful misconduct. The Lender agrees to release the Property Account Bank from any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses and disbursements of any kind whatsoever (including without limitation, legal fees) (collectively, “damages”) with respect to the performance of this agreement by Property Account Bank or any of Property Account Bank’s directors, officers, agents, or employees, unless the damage arise from its or their own gross negligence or willful misconduct. IN NO EVENT WILL THE PROPERTY ACCOUNT BANK BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT DAMAGES, LOST PROFITS, SPECIAL, PUNITIVE OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES WHICH ARISE OUT OF OR IN CONNECTION WITH THE SERVICES CONTEMPLATED BY THIS AGREEMENT. The provisions of this paragraph will survive termination of this agreement. This agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York (without regard to choice of law or conflict of laws rules) and the applicable laws of the United States of America.
