Senior Lender shall forbear from actually commencing such Senior Loan Enforcement Action until the later of Junior Lender’s Outside Date or Subordinate Lender’s Outside Date.
(b) Senior Monetary Default. The following provisions set forth in this Section 7(b) shall be applicable if Senior Lender sends a Senior Enforcement Notice with respect to a Senior Monetary Default:
(i) Upon delivery of a Senior Enforcement Notice with respect to a Senior Monetary Default, Junior Lender shall, within five (5) Business Days after such delivery, send written notice (the “JL Monetary Default Election Notice”) to Senior Lender and Subordinate Lender that either (A) Junior Lender intends to cure such Senior Monetary Default, in which event the JL Monetary Default Election Notice to Senior Lender shall be accompanied by payment to the Senior Lender of immediately available funds sufficient to cure the Senior Monetary Default, or (B) Junior Lender has elected to first give Subordinate Lender the right to cure such Senior Monetary Default. If Junior Lender fails to send a JL Monetary Election Notice within five (5) Business Days after delivery of the Senior Enforcement Notice, then Junior Lender shall be deemed to have elected the option described in clause (B) of the preceding sentence. If Junior Lender elects (or is deemed to have elected) to first give Subordinate Lender the right to cure such Senior Monetary Default and thereafter Subordinate Lender elects (or is deemed to have elected) not to cure the Senior Monetary Default pursuant to Section 7(b)(ii) below, then Junior Lender shall have until the fifteenth (15th) Business Day after delivery of the Senior Enforcement Notice within which to cure such Senior Monetary Default.
(ii) If Junior Lender elects (or is deemed to have elected) to first give Subordinate Lender the right to cure a Senior Monetary Default pursuant to Section 7(b)(i) above, then Subordinate Lender shall have five (5) Business Days after delivery of the JL Monetary Default Election Notice (or, if no JL Monetary Default Election Notice is sent, ten (10) Business Days after delivery of the Senior Enforcement Notice) to send written notice (the “SL Monetary Default Response Notice”) to Junior Lender and Senior Lender stating either (A) that Subordinate Lender has elected to cure such Senior Monetary Default, in which
19
event the SL Monetary Default Response Notice to Senior Lender shall be accompanied by payment to the Senior Lender of immediately available funds in an amount sufficient to cure the Senior Monetary Default, or (B) that Subordinate Lender has elected not to cure such Senior Monetary Default. If Subordinate Lender fails to send a SL Monetary Default Response Notice within five (5) Business Days after delivery of the JL Monetary Default Election Notice (or, if no JL Monetary Default Election Notice is sent, within ten (10) Business Days after delivery of the Senior Enforcement Notice), then Subordinate Lender shall be deemed to have elected the option described in clause (B) of the preceding sentence. If Subordinate Lender elects (or is deemed to have elected) not to cure the Senior Monetary Default, then Junior Lender may elect to cure same pursuant to the last sentence in Section 7(b)(i) above. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, if Subordinate Lender elects (or is deemed to have elected) not to cure the Senior Monetary Default, then Subordinate Lender shall be deemed to have waived any right it may have to cure such Senior Monetary Default. In such event, Junior Lender shall have the sole right (but not the obligation) to cure the Senior Monetary Default in accordance with Section 7(b)(i) above and not later than fifteen (15) Business Days after delivery of the Senior Enforcement Notice.
(c) Senior Non-Monetary Default. The following provisions set forth in this Section 7(c) shall be applicable if Senior Lender sends a Senior Enforcement Notice with respect to a Senior Non-Monetary Default:
(i) Upon delivery of a Senior Enforcement Notice from Senior Lender pursuant to Section 7(a)(ii) with respect to a Senior Non-Monetary Default, Junior Lender shall, within ten (10) days after such delivery, send written notice (the “JL Non-Monetary Default Election Notice”) to Senior Lender and Subordinate Lender that either (A) Junior Lender will attempt to cure such Senior Non-Monetary Default, in which event Junior Lender shall be allowed thirty (30) days after the date of the Senior Enforcement Notice to effect such cure, or (B) Junior Lender has elected to first give Subordinate Lender the right to cure such Senior Non-Monetary Default. If Junior Lender fails to send a JL Non-Monetary Default Election Notice within ten (10) days after delivery of the Senior Enforcement Notice, then Junior Lender shall be deemed to have elected the option described in clause (B) of the preceding sentence. If Junior Lender elects (or is deemed to have elected) to first give Subordinate Lender the right to cure such Senior Non-Monetary Default and thereafter Subordinate Lender elects (or is deemed to have elected) not to cure the Senior Non-Monetary Default pursuant to Section 7(c)(ii) below, then Junior Lender shall have forty (40) days after delivery of the Senior Enforcement Notice within which to cure such Senior Non-Monetary Default.
(ii) If Junior Lender elects (or is deemed to have elected) to give Subordinate Lender the right to cure a Senior Non-Monetary Default pursuant to Section 7(c)(i) above, then Subordinate Lender shall have ten (10) days after delivery of the JL Non-Monetary Default Election Notice (or, if no JL
20
Non-Monetary Default Election Notice is sent, twenty (20) days after such delivery of the Senior Enforcement Notice) to send written notice (the “SL Non-Monetary Default Response Notice”) to Junior Lender and Senior Lender stating either (A) that Subordinate Lender will attempt to cure such Senior Non-Monetary Default, in which event Subordinate Lender shall be allowed forty (40) days after such delivery of the Senior Enforcement Notice to effect such cure, or (B) that Subordinate Lender has elected not to cure such Senior Non-Monetary Default. If Subordinate Lender fails to send a SL Non-Monetary Default Response Notice within ten (10) days after delivery of the JL Non-Monetary Default Election Notice (or, if no JL Non-Monetary Default Election Notice is sent, within twenty (20) days after delivery of the Senior Enforcement Notice), then Subordinate Lender shall be deemed to have elected the option described in clause (B) of the preceding sentence. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, if Subordinate Lender elects (or is deemed to have elected) not to cure the Senior Non-Monetary Default, then Subordinate Lender shall be deemed to have waived any right it may have to cure such Senior Non-Monetary Default. In such event, Junior Lender shall have the sole right (but not the obligation) to cure the Senior Non-Monetary Default in accordance with Section 7(c)(i) above and not later than forty (40) days after delivery of the Senior Enforcement Notice.
(iii) If Junior Lender elects in its JL Non-Monetary Default Election Notice to attempt to cure the Senior Non-Monetary Default but fails to cure same within thirty (30) days after delivery of the Senior Enforcement Notice, then Subordinate Lender shall have until forty (40) days after the delivery of the Senior Enforcement Notice within which to cure such Senior Non-Monetary Default.
(iv) If Subordinate Lender elects in its SL Non-Monetary Default Response Notice to attempt to cure the Senior Non-Monetary Default but fails to cure same within forty (40) days after delivery of the Senior Enforcement Notice as provided in Section 7(c)(ii) above, then Junior Lender shall have until fifty (50) days after delivery of the Senior Enforcement Notice within which to cure such Senior Non-Monetary Default.

(i) At any time following delivery of a Senior Default Notice and prior to the delivery by Senior Lender of a Senior Enforcement Notice, either the Junior Lender or the Subordinate Lender, as applicable, may send written notice
21
(the “Lender Purchase Notice”) to Senior Lender and Junior Lender and/or Subordinate Lender, as applicable, as follows: (A) in the case of notice by Junior Lender, notice that Junior Lender intends to purchase the Senior Loan at the Senior Loan Purchase Price, or (B) in the case of notice by Subordinate Lender, notice that Subordinate Lender intends to purchase the Senior Loan at the Senior Loan Purchase Price and the Junior Loan at the Junior Loan Purchase Price (it being expressly agreed that Subordinate Lender may not purchase the Senior Loan unless concurrently therewith Subordinate Lender also purchases the Junior Loan at the Junior Loan Purchase Price). Upon delivery of a Lender Purchase Notice, the Lender delivering such notice shall have the exclusive right to purchase the Senior Loan (or the Senior Loan and the Junior Loan, in the event Subordinate Lender gives the Purchase Notice) until the Purchase Closing Date (as hereinafter defined).
(ii) If either Junior Lender or Subordinate Lender elects in writing to purchase the Senior Loan (and, in the case of Subordinate Lender, the Junior Loan as well) (the “Purchase”), the Purchase shall close on a date selected by Junior Lender or Subordinate Lender, as applicable, that is not later than thirty (30) days after the delivery of the Lender Purchase Notice (the “Purchase Closing Date”). If Junior Lender is the purchaser, concurrently with payment to Senior Lender of the Senior Loan Purchase Price: (A) Senior Lender shall deliver or cause to be delivered to Junior Lender all Senior Loan Documents held by or on behalf of Senior Lender, and (B) Senior Lender shall execute in favor of Junior Lender (or its designee) assignment documentation, in form and substance reasonably acceptable to Junior Lender, assigning the Senior Loan and its rights under the Senior Loan Documents (without recourse, representations or warranties, except for representations as to the outstanding balance of the Senior Loan and as to Senior Lender’s not having assigned or encumbered its rights in the Senior Loan). Upon consummation of the Purchase by Junior Lender, Junior Lender shall be subrogated to the rights of Senior Lender under the Senior Loan Documents.

22
Lender’s not having assigned or encumbered its rights in the Junior Loan). Upon consummation of the Purchase by Subordinate Lender, Subordinate Lender shall be subrogated to the rights of Senior Lender under the Senior Loan Documents and the Junior Lender under the Junior Loan Documents. If a Lender Purchase Notice is sent pursuant to Section 7.1(g)(i) and this Section 7.1(g)(ii), Senior Lender shall forbear from sending a Senior Enforcement Notice until such time as the Purchase Closing Date has passed without the contemplated sale and purchase of the Senior Loan (or both the Senior Loan and the Junior Loan if the Lender Purchase Notice was sent by Subordinate Lender) having occurred.
(iii) Junior Lender shall also have the option to consummate a Purchase of the Senior Loan for the Senior Loan Purchase Price, and Subordinate Lender shall also have the option to consummate a Purchase of the Senior Loan for the Senior Loan Purchase Price and of the Junior Loan for the Junior Loan Purchase Price, at any time during the period beginning on the date of acceleration of the Senior Loan and ending on the date prior to the date a foreclosure or trustee’s sale (or deed in lieu of foreclosure) is conducted or consummated in respect of the Senior Loan. Junior Lender may exercise such option by sending written notice of such exercise to Senior Lender together with the deposit of immediately available funds in the amount of the Senior Loan Purchase Price with an escrow agent reasonably satisfactory to the Senior Lender, and in such event Junior Lender shall purchase the Senior Loan for the Senior Loan Purchase Price within ten (10) Business Days after such notice is delivered (but in any event prior to the scheduled date of such foreclosure or trustee’s sale (or deed in lieu of foreclosure)). Concurrently with payment to Senior Lender of the Senior Loan Purchase Price: (A) Senior Lender shall deliver or cause to be delivered to Junior Lender all Senior Loan Documents held by or on behalf of Senior Lender, and (B) Senior Lender shall execute in favor of Junior Lender (or its designee) assignment documentation, in form and substance reasonably acceptable to Junior Lender, assigning the Senior Loan and its rights under the Senior Loan Documents (without recourse, representations or warranties, except for representations as to the outstanding balance of the Senior Loan and as to Senior Lender’s not having assigned or encumbered its rights in the Senior Loan). Upon consummation of the Purchase, Junior Lender shall be subrogated to the rights of Senior Lender under the Senior Loan Documents.
Subordinate Lender may exercise the option referred to in the preceding paragraph of this clause (iii) by sending written notice of such exercise to Senior Lender and Junior Lender, together with the deposit of immediately available funds in the amount of the Senior Loan Purchase Price and Junior Lender Purchase Price with an escrow agent reasonably satisfactory to the Senior Lender and Junior Lender, and in such event Subordinate Lender shall purchase the Senior Loan for the Senior Loan Purchase Price and the Junior Loan for the Junior Loan Purchase Price within ten (10) Business Days after such notice is delivered (but in any event prior to the scheduled date of such foreclosure or trustee’s sale (or deed in lieu of foreclosure)). Concurrently with payment to Senior Lender of the Senior Loan Purchase Price and to Junior Lender of the Junior Loan Purchase
23
Price: (A) Senior Lender and Junior Lender shall deliver or cause to be delivered to Subordinate Lender all Senior Loan Documents held by or on behalf of Senior Lender and Junior Lender, and (B) Senior Lender and Junior Lender shall execute in favor of Subordinate Lender (or its designee) assignment documentation, in form and substance reasonably acceptable to Subordinate Lender, assigning the Senior Loan and its rights under the Senior Loan Documents and the Junior Loan and its rights under the Junior Loan Documents (without recourse, representations or warranties, except for representations as to the outstanding balance of the Senior Loan and the Junior Loan, respectively, and as to Senior Lender’s or Junior Lender’s as appropriate not having assigned or encumbered its rights in the relevant Loan). Upon consummation of the Purchase, Subordinate Lender shall be subrogated to the rights of Senior Lender under the Senior Loan Documents and Junior Lender under the Junior Loan Documents.
(iv) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, upon delivery of a Senior Enforcement Notice by Senior Lender to Subordinate Lender, Subordinate Lender shall have ten (10) days during which it shall have the exclusive right to provide to the Senior Lender and the Junior Lender a Lender Purchase Notice. If Subordinate Lender fails to provide such Lender Purchase Notice within such ten (10) day period, Subordinate Lender shall have no further right to provide a Lender Purchase Notice with respect to such Senior Enforcement Notice except as provided in Section 7(g)(iii) above. At the expiration of such ten (10) day period, subject to clause (iii), Junior Lender shall have an additional ten (10) day period within which to provide a Lender Purchase Notice. Thereafter, neither Subordinate Lender nor Junior Lender shall have any right to provide a Lender Purchase Notice in connection with the applicable Senior Enforcement Notice (except as provided in Section 7(g)(iii) above).
(v) Upon delivery of a Lender Purchase Notice, the Lender delivering such notice shall have the exclusive right to purchase the Senior Loan (and the Junior Loan, if applicable) until the Purchase Closing Date.
(h) Failure to Cure Senior Default or Purchase Senior Loan. If (i) Junior Lender fails to either cure the Senior Default that was the subject of the Senior Enforcement Notice or to purchase the Senior Loan prior to the Purchase Closing Date, if any, and (ii) Subordinate Lender fails to either cure the Senior Default that was the subject of the Senior Enforcement Notice or to purchase the Senior Loan and the Junior Loan prior to the Purchase Closing Date, if any, then Senior Lender shall, in addition to the right to take a Senior Loan Enforcement Action, have the right to amend, modify, restructure or extend the Senior Mortgage or any other Senior Loan Documents (including without limitation any and all Special Modification Terms of Senior Loan Documents) without notice to or the consent of Junior Lender and Subordinate Lender. In such event, the Junior Loan, the Junior Mortgage and the other Junior Loan Documents and the Subordinate Loan, the Subordinate Mortgage and the other Subordinate Loan Documents and all indebtedness, obligations, liens and security interests evidenced or secured thereby or from time to time outstanding thereunder shall continue to be junior, subject, and subordinate in all respects to the Senior Loan, the
24
Senior Mortgage and the Senior Loan Documents, as so amended, modified, extended, or restructured (including without limitation any and all Special Modification Terms of Senior Loan Documents); provided, however, that in no event shall the principal amount of the Senior Loan be increased except by reason of Protective Advances. Third parties including title insurance companies insuring the priority of the Senior Mortgage are hereby authorized to rely on this provision as to the priority of the Senior Loan Documents, as so amended, modified, extended or restructured, without any requirement to confirm such senior position from Junior Lender or the Subordinate Lender.
8. Default Under Junior Loan Documents.

Upon consummation of the Junior Purchase, Subordinate Lender shall be subrogated to the rights of Junior Lender under the Junior Loan Documents.
(f) Failure to Cure Junior Default. If Subordinate Lender fails to cure the Junior Default that was the subject of the Junior Enforcement Notice or to purchase the Junior Loan prior to Subordinate Lender’s Junior Outside Date, then Junior Lender shall have the right, subject to Section 9(a) hereof, to amend, modify, restructure or extend the Junior Mortgage or any other Junior Loan Documents (including without limitation any and all Special Modification Terms of Junior Loan Documents) without notice to or the consent of Subordinate Lender but with the consent of the Senior Lender if required pursuant to Section 10(b) hereof.

Third parties including title insurance companies insuring the priority of the Junior Mortgage are hereby authorized to rely on
26
this provision as to the priority of the Junior Loan Documents, as so amended, modified, extended or restructured, without any requirement to confirm such senior position from Subordinate Lender.

If Subordinate Lender desires to Transfer the Subordinate Loan, Subordinate Lender shall send notice to Junior Lender describing the identity of the proposed transferee and requesting Junior Lender’s approval thereof (a copy of such notice shall be simultaneously provided to the Senior Lender). Within ten (10) Business Days after
32
delivery of such notice, Junior Lender shall respond to Subordinate Lender with a notice either approving or disapproving the contemplated Transfer (a copy of such notice shall be simultaneously provided to the Senior Lender). If Junior Lender fails to respond to a notice sent by Subordinate Lender requesting Junior Lender’s approval of a Transfer within ten (10) Business Days after delivery, the Junior Lender shall be deemed to have approved such Transfer.

If a Non-Affiliated Subordinate Lender desires to Transfer the Subordinate Loan, such Non-Affiliated Subordinate Lender shall send notice to Junior Lender describing the identity of the proposed transferee and requesting Junior Lender’s approval thereof (a copy of such notice shall be simultaneously provided to the Senior Lender). Within ten (10) Business Days after delivery of such notice, Junior Lender shall respond to Subordinate Lender with a notice either approving or disapproving the contemplated Transfer (a copy of such notice shall be simultaneously provided to the Senior Lender). If Junior Lender disapproves the proposed Transfer, Junior Lender shall include in its notice the reasons for such disapproval. If Junior Lender disapproves the proposed Transfer for any reason other than that the proposed transferee is a Person with which the Junior Lender has previously been in a dispute that was the subject of a court or arbitration proceeding within the then preceding six years, then Junior Lender shall, within thirty (30) days after providing such notice (the “Subordinate Purchase Closing Date”), purchase the Subordinate Loan (the “Subordinate Purchase”) at the Subordinate Loan Purchase Price as provided in Section 13(c) below.
(c) If the Junior Lender purchases the Subordinate Loan pursuant to the preceding Section 13(b), then, concurrently with payment to Non-Affiliated Subordinate Lender of the Subordinate Loan Purchase Price: (A) Non-Affiliated Subordinate Lender shall deliver or cause to be delivered to Junior Lender all Subordinate Loan Documents held by or on behalf of Non-Affiliated Subordinate Lender, and (B) Non-Affiliated Subordinate Lender shall execute in favor of Junior Lender (or its designee) assignment documentation, in form and substance reasonably acceptable to Junior Lender, assigning the Subordinate Loan and its rights under the Subordinate Loan Documents (without recourse, representations or warranties, except for representations as to the outstanding balance of the Subordinate Loan and as to Non-Affiliated Subordinate Lender’s not having assigned or encumbered its rights in the Subordinate Loan). Upon consummation of the Subordinate Purchase, Junior Lender shall be subrogated to the rights of Non-Affiliated Subordinate Lender under the Subordinate Loan Documents.
33
(d) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 13 or otherwise in this Agreement, any Affiliated Subordinate Lender or Non-Affiliated Subordinate Lender shall have the right to transfer its interest in the Subordinate Loan (or any part thereof or interest therein) to an Affiliate upon fifteen (15) days’ prior written notice to (but without the consent of) Senior Lender and Junior Lender and delivery to Senior Lender and Junior Lender by such Affiliate of an assumption agreement whereby it assumes all of such Non-Affiliated Subordinate Lender’s obligations hereunder.
14. Assignment of the Junior Loan Obligations. Junior Lender may assign or transfer any or all of the Junior Loan Obligations and/or any interest therein or herein and, notwithstanding any such assignment or transfer or any subsequent assignment or transfer thereof, such Junior Loan Obligations shall be and remain senior to the Subordinate Loan Obligations, and the Subordinate Loan Obligations shall be and remain subject and subordinate to the Junior Loan for the purposes of this Agreement, and every immediate and successive assignee or transferee of any of the Junior Loan Obligations or of any interest therein or herein shall, to the extent of the interest of such assignee or transferee in the Junior Loan Obligations, be entitled to the benefits of this Agreement to the same extent as if such assignee or transferee were Junior Lender; provided, however, that, unless Junior Lender shall otherwise consent in writing, Junior Lender shall have an unimpaired right, prior and superior to that of any such assignee or transferee, to enforce this Agreement, for the benefit of Junior Lender, as to those portions of the Junior Loan Obligations which Junior Lender has not assigned or transferred.
15. Assignment of the Senior Loan Obligations. Senior Lender may assign or transfer any or all of the Senior Loan Obligations and/or any interest therein or herein and, notwithstanding any such assignment or transfer or any subsequent assignment or transfer thereof, such Senior Loan Obligations shall be and remain senior to the Junior Loan Obligations and Subordinate Loan Obligations, and the Subordinate Loan Obligations shall be and remain subject and subordinate to the Junior Loan Obligations and Senior Loan Obligations for the purposes of this Agreement, and every immediate and successive assignee or transferee of any of the Senior Loan Obligations or of any interest therein or herein shall, to the extent of the interest of such assignee or transferee in the Senior Loan Obligations, be entitled to the benefits of this Agreement to the same extent as if such assignee or transferee were Senior Lender; provided, however, that, unless Senior Lender shall otherwise consent in writing, Senior Lender shall have an unimpaired right, prior and superior to that of any such assignee or transferee, to enforce this Agreement, for the benefit of Senior Lender, as to those portions of the Senior Loan Obligations which Senior Lender has not assigned or transferred.
16. Intent to Sell. If Senior Lender intends to solicit purchasers to purchase all of its interest in the Senior Loan in whole and such purchasers are a Person other than the Junior Lender, the Subordinate Lender or the Borrower or any Affiliate thereof, Senior Lender shall give Junior Lender prompt written notice of its intent to sell and shall use reasonable best efforts, if there is a bidding process for the purchase of such Senior Loan, to include the Junior Lender in such bidding process.
17. Acquisition of Senior Loan by Borrower or Subordinate Lender Prohibited. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, other than a sale pursuant to Section 7, Senior Lender shall not sell the Senior Loan to Borrower, Subordinate Lender, or any
34
Affiliate of Borrower or Subordinate Lender, unless either (a) concurrently therewith, the Junior Loan is sold to the same party on terms acceptable to the Junior Lender in its sole discretion, or (b) the prior written consent of Junior Lender has been obtained (which consent may be given or withheld in the sole discretion of Junior Lender). Subordinate Lender shall not purchase, or allow any Affiliate of Subordinate Lender to purchase, other than a sale pursuant to Section 7, the Senior Loan, unless (i) concurrently therewith, the Junior Loan is sold to the same party on terms acceptable to the Junior Lender in its sole discretion, or (ii) the prior written consent of Junior Lender is obtained (which consent may be given or withheld in the sole discretion of Junior Lender).
18. Casualty. Subject to the terms of the Lock Box Agreement, in the event of a casualty to the buildings or improvements constructed on any portion of the Property or a condemnation or taking under a power of eminent domain of all or any portion of the Property, Senior Lender shall have a first and prior interest in and to any payments, awards, proceeds, distributions, or consideration arising from any such event (the “Award”). If the amount of the Award is in excess of all amounts owed to Senior Lender under the Senior Loan Documents (the amount of such excess is referred to herein as the “Excess”), however, and either the Senior Loan has been paid in full or Borrower is entitled to a remittance of same under the Senior Loan Documents other than to restore the Property, the Excess or portion to be so remitted to Borrower shall, to the extent permitted in the Senior Loan Documents, be paid to or at the direction of Junior Lender, and if the Junior Lender has been paid all amounts due, to or at the direction of the Subordinate Lender unless other Persons have claimed the right to such Excess, in which case Senior Lender (or Junior Lender if there is no Senior Lender) shall only be required to provide notice to Junior Lender and Subordinate Lender of the Excess and of any other claims thereto. In the event of any competing claims for any Excess, Senior Lender (or Junior Lender if there is no Senior Lender) shall continue to hold the Excess until Senior Lender (or Junior Lender if there is no Senior Lender) receives an agreement signed by all Persons making a claim to the Excess or a final order of a court of competent jurisdiction directing Senior Lender (or Junior Lender if there is no Senior Lender) as to how and to which Person(s) the Excess is to be distributed. Notwithstanding the foregoing, but subject to the terms of the Lock Box Agreement, in the event of a casualty or condemnation, Senior Lender (or Junior Lender if there is no Senior Lender) shall release the Award to the Borrower if and to the extent required by the terms and conditions of the Senior Loan Documents (or Junior Loan Documents if there is no Senior Lender) and the Lock Box Agreement to repair and restore the Premises in accordance with the terms and provisions of the Senior Loan Documents (or Junior Loan Documents if there is no Senior Lender). Any portion of the Award made available to the Borrower for the repair or restoration of the Premises shall not be subject to attachment by Junior Lender and Subordinate Lender.
19. Bankruptcy.
(a) Upon any distribution of the assets or properties of Borrower or upon any dissolution, winding up, liquidation, bankruptcy or reorganization involving Borrower (whether in bankruptcy, insolvency or receivership proceedings or any other Proceeding, or upon an assignment for the benefit of creditors or otherwise):
35
(i) Senior Lender shall first be entitled to receive payment in full of the principal of and interest on the Senior Loan Obligations and all fees and any other payments (including post-petition interest and all costs and expenses) due pursuant to the terms of the Senior Loan Documents, before Junior Lender is entitled to receive any payment on account of the Junior Loan Obligations; and Junior Lender shall then be entitled to receive payment in full of the principal of and interest on the Junior Loan Obligations and all fees and any other payments (including post-petition interest and all costs and expenses) due pursuant to the terms of the Junior Loan Documents, before Subordinate Lender is entitled to receive any payment on account of the Subordinate Loan Obligations. The Junior Lender acknowledges and agrees that its distributions in bankruptcy may be diminished in order to pay the Senior Loan Obligations and all fees and any other payments (including post-petition interest and all costs and expenses) to the extent the Senior Lender receives payment on its secured claim in bankruptcy exceeding the value of collateral encumbered by the Senior Lender’s lien; the Subordinate Lender acknowledges and agrees that its distributions in bankruptcy may be diminished in order to pay the Senior Loan Obligations and/or the Junior Loan Obligations and all fees and any other payments (including post-petition interest and all costs and expenses) to the extent the Senior Lender and/or the Junior Lender receive payment on their secured claims in bankruptcy exceeding the value of collateral encumbered by their liens.

21. Continuing Benefits. No right of Senior Lender or any present or future holder of the Senior Loan Obligations, or Junior Lender or any present or future holder of the Junior Loan Obligations, to enforce the subordination as provided herein shall at any time in any way be prejudiced or impaired by any act or failure to act on the part of Borrower or any other party, whether borrower, guarantor or otherwise, or by any noncompliance by Borrower or any borrower, guarantor or otherwise with the terms of the Senior Note or Junior Note, as applicable, or any other of the Senior Loan Documents or any other of the Junior Loan Documents, as applicable, regardless of any knowledge thereof which such holder may have or be otherwise charged with.
22. No Waiver; Modification. Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement, neither this Agreement nor the transactions herein contemplated shall operate to waive the enforcement after the date hereof of any due on sale, due on encumbrance or accelerating transfer provision contained in the Senior Loan Documents, Junior Loan Documents or the Subordinate Loan Documents. No delay on the part of Senior Lender, Junior Lender or Subordinate Lender in the exercise of any right or remedy shall operate as a waiver thereof, and no single or partial exercise by Senior Lender, Junior Lender or Subordinate Lender of any right or remedy shall preclude other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any right or remedy; nor shall any modification or waiver of any of the provisions of this Agreement be binding upon Senior Lender, Junior Lender or Subordinate Lender except as expressly set forth in a writing duly signed and delivered by or on behalf of Senior Lender, Junior Lender or Subordinate Lender. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts.
40
23. Reinstatement of Agreement.
