Each Lender shall record the date, amount, and type of each portion of the aggregate Loan made by it and the date and amount of any payment of principal made by Borrower with respect thereto, and may, subject to Section 15.1(b), if such Lender so elects in connection with any transfer or enforcement of its Note, endorse on the schedule forming a part thereof appropriate notations to evidence the foregoing information with respect to each such portion of the aggregate Loan then outstanding evidenced by such Note; provided that the failure of any Lender to make any such recordation or endorsement shall not affect the obligations of Borrower hereunder or under the Notes. Subject to Section 15.1(b), each Lender is hereby irrevocably authorized by Borrower to so endorse its Note and to attach to and make a part of its Note a continuation of any such schedule as and when required.
(e) Notwithstanding subsections (b), (c) and (d) above and the existence of multiple Notes, Borrower shall only be required to make single payments of the aggregate amounts due from time to time under such Notes to Administrative Agent.

The portion sets forth, by category and line items, the purposes and amounts for which Advances made by Lenders under this Agreement are to be used.
2.2 Commitments to Lend. Each Lender severally (and not jointly) agrees on the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement, to make the Advances to Borrower ratably in accordance with its respective Pro Rata Percentage, pursuant to this Agreement in amounts such that the aggregate principal amount of the Advances by such Lender at any one time outstanding shall not exceed the amount of its Commitment with respect to the Loan, subject to the right of the Lenders to make Protective Advances upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default. The term of the Commitments shall expire on the Initial Maturity Date and neither Administrative Agent nor the Lenders shall have any further commitment to advance any additional funds after the Initial Maturity Date.

Administrative Agent shall submit each Draw Request to the Lenders as set forth in Section 2.4(a), as long as such Draw Request meets the requirements of Article IV.
2.4 Notice to Lenders and Funding of Loan.
(a) Promptly after receipt of each Draw Request, Administrative Agent shall notify (which may be by telephone, promptly confirmed in writing) each Lender of the contents thereof and of the amount of such Lender’s Pro Rata Percentage of such Borrowing and, once so communicated to each Lender, such Draw Request shall not thereafter be revocable by Borrower. The Lenders shall make each requested Advance on the applicable Advance Date as long as the conditions to such Advance set forth in this Agreement are satisfied (as reasonably determined by Administrative Agent).
48
(b) Not later than 1:00 P.M. (New York time) on each Advance Date, each Lender shall make available its Pro Rata Percentage of the applicable Borrowing, in immediately funds available in lawful money of the United States, to Administrative Agent at its address referred to in Section 20.6. Subject to Section 2.4(c), on each Advance Date, Administrative Agent shall make available to Borrower the applicable Advance, in immediately funds available in lawful money of the United States.
(c) Unless Administrative Agent shall have been notified in writing by a Lender prior to the applicable Advance Date that such Lender does not intend to make available to Administrative Agent such Lender’s Pro Rata Percentage of the Advance to be made on such Advance Date, Administrative Agent may assume that such Lender will make such amount available to Administrative Agent on such date, and Administrative Agent shall (subject to the terms of this Agreement and provided such Lender has made the amount available to Administrative Agent) make available to Borrower a corresponding amount. If such corresponding amount is not in fact made available to Administrative Agent by a Defaulting Lender on the Advance Date, Administrative Agent shall promptly notify Borrower of such fact by telephone (promptly confirmed in writing by e-mail), and neither Administrative Agent nor any of the Non-Defaulting Lenders shall have any obligation to make such corresponding amount available to Borrower. Nothing in this Section 2.4(c) shall be deemed to relieve any Lender from its obligations to fulfill its Commitment hereunder or to prejudice any rights and remedies which Borrower, Administrative Agent or any applicable Non-Defaulting Lender may have against a Defaulting Lender. Each Defaulting Lender shall indemnify Borrower, Administrative Agent and the Non-Defaulting Lenders and hold each of them harmless from and against any and all loss, cost, liability, damage or expense, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and court costs arising out of such Defaulting Lender’s failure to fund the Pro Rata Percentage of the applicable Advance.
(d) No Lender and/or participant in the Loan shall be responsible for any default by any other Lender, but a Defaulting Lender shall be responsible for its own default and the indemnity provided for in the last sentence of Section 2.4(c) in its obligation to make the Advances hereunder.
(e) If any Lender (a “Defaulting Lender”) fails to make available to Administrative Agent such Lender’s Pro Rata Percentage of any Advance on the applicable Advance Date as and when required hereunder (each such undelivered amount, a “Defaulted Lender Advance”), (i) Administrative Agent shall immediately provide notice thereof to the applicable Non-Defaulting Lenders and to Borrower, and (ii) one or more of the applicable Non-Defaulting Lenders (each, a “Performing Lender”) may elect (but shall have no obligation), by notice to Administrative Agent (and Administrative Agent shall immediately notify Borrower and the other Non-Defaulting Lender of such notice from a Performing Lender), to make the Defaulted Lender Advance. If there is one or more Performing Lenders with respect to any Defaulted Lender Advance, then, without otherwise limiting any rights and remedies of Borrower, Administrative Agent and the applicable Non-Defaulting Lenders with respect to the applicable Defaulting Lender, the applicable Defaulting Lender shall pay to the applicable Performing Lender(s) interest on the applicable Defaulted Lender Advance at a rate equal to the Default Rate. Such interest shall accrue and be payable from the date the applicable Defaulting Lender first became obligated to make the applicable Defaulted Lender Advance until payment of the applicable Defaulted Lender Advance is made in full (the Defaulted Lender Advance, together with interest thereon at the Default Rate from the date such amount was due until repaid is referred to, collectively, as the “Defaulted Lender Obligation”). If the applicable Defaulting Lender repays the applicable Defaulted Lender Obligation, then the applicable Defaulting Lender shall be deemed to have made the applicable Advance when the same was originally due and shall no longer be a Defaulting Lender with respect to such Advance.
49
(f) If a Defaulting Lender fails, as and when required hereunder, to make its Pro Rata Percentage of any Advance or fails to pay any other sum payable to Administrative Agent hereunder or becomes the subject of a Bail-In Action, then such Defaulting Lender’s share of any and all amounts payable to the Defaulting Lender under the Loan Documents shall be immediately subordinated to the applicable Non-Defaulting Lenders’ share therein, and such Defaulting Lender’s Commitment Percentage shall be voted by the applicable Non-Defaulting Lenders based upon a fraction, the numerator of which is each Non-Defaulting Lender’s Commitment Percentage and the denominator of which is the aggregate of the Commitment Percentages all applicable Non-Defaulting Lenders, all without necessity for executing any further documents. Upon any such failure, in addition to Administrative Agent’s other legal and equitable rights and remedies, Administrative Agent may withhold and apply any and all amounts payable to such Defaulting Lender under the Loan Documents in such order of priority as Administrative Agent shall determine in its sole discretion to: (i) purchase for such Defaulting Lender its Pro Rata Percentage of any Advance or pay any sum payable hereunder that such Defaulting Lender was obligated but failed to pay pursuant to this Agreement; and/or (ii) reimburse the applicable Performing Lenders and/or Administrative Agent for any other sums, costs, expenses or disbursements payable by such Defaulting Lender hereunder. Upon any actual payment (when payable in accordance with Section 2.4(e)) by such Defaulting Lender of the applicable Defaulted Lender Obligation and any other sums then payable by such Defaulting Lender under the Loan Documents, its share in the Advances and in the Loan Documents and proceeds thereof and its Commitment Percentage (for all purposes of the Loan Documents, including voting) thereupon shall immediately be restored to equal priority with that of the other Lenders, but these provisions shall not effect a rescission of any vote of such Defaulting Lender’s Commitment Percentage made prior thereto or apply to any Defaulting Lender following the replacement of such Defaulting Lender with a Replacement Lender.
(g) If any Lender fails to make its Pro Rata Percentage of any Advance as and when required by this Agreement (a “Advance Default”), the applicable Non-Defaulting Lenders shall have no further obligation to make the applicable Advance except as set forth in the following sentence of this Section 2.4(g). With respect to each Advance Default as to which one or more Performing Lenders have elected to make the Defaulted Lender Advance, as to which Borrower has funded (or will simultaneously fund) through an Equity Payment or as to which a Replacement Lender has funded (or will simultaneously fund), each Non-Defaulting Lender shall make its related Pro Rata Percentage of such Advance that it was otherwise obligated to make when and as otherwise required to be made by such Lender. It shall be a condition precedent to each Non-Defaulting Lender’s obligation to fund its Pro Rata Percentage of an Advance that either Borrower or one or more Lenders or Replacement Lenders fund the Defaulted Lender Advance, and accordingly no Lender shall be deemed a Defaulting Lender on the basis of having refused to fund its Pro Rata Percentage of an Advance if such condition precedent is not satisfied. In addition, at any time following an Advance Default, Borrower may arrange for a Replacement Lender pursuant to Section 2.19 hereof with respect to the Defaulting Lender’s Pro Rata Percentage of all Advances that Defaulting Lender had failed to make.
50
(h) Each Lender hereby irrevocably designates Administrative Agent as its attorney-in-fact, coupled with an interest, to execute any such instruments and documents as Administrative Agent deems necessary to effect any assignment of any Defaulting Lender’s obligation to make Advances to any Replacement Lender arranged by Borrower pursuant to Section 2.19 with respect to any Advance Default. No such assignment shall release or relieve the applicable Defaulting Lender of any liability for its breach of this Agreement or under the indemnity set forth in Section 2.4(c).
2.5 Term and Extension Option.
(a) The term of the Loan (the “Term”) shall commence on the Closing Date and terminate and expire on the Maturity Date. The entire outstanding principal amount of the Loan, together with accrued and unpaid interest thereon and all other amounts due to Administrative Agent and Lenders hereunder and under the other Loan Documents (including, if applicable, the Minimum Multiple), shall be payable by Borrower in full on the Maturity Date.

51
(v) if a Springing LIBOR Event or an Alternative Rate Trigger has occurred and the existing Interest Rate Cap Agreement is scheduled to expire prior to the Maturity Date (as extended pursuant to the exercise of such Extension Option), (A) Borrower shall obtain and deliver to Administrative Agent, not later than three (3) Business Days prior to the then applicable Maturity Date, one or more Replacement Interest Rate Cap Agreements from an Approved Counterparty, which Replacement Interest Rate Cap Agreement(s) (w) shall have a strike price such that, after giving effect to the capped rate, the minimum Debt Service Coverage Ratio for the Property is at least 1.15:1.00, (x) shall be effective commencing on the first day of the applicable Extension Term, (y) shall have a notional amount equal to the then outstanding principal amount of the Loan and (z) shall have a maturity date no earlier than the Maturity Date (as extended pursuant to the exercise of such Extension Option), and (B) Borrower shall deliver to Administrative Agent on or prior to the then applicable Maturity Date a collateral assignment of such Replacement Interest Rate Cap Agreement(s) substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit D;
(vi) [intentionally omitted];
(vii) subject to the last unnumbered paragraph of this Section 2.5, (A) with respect to the First Extension Option, the Property shall have achieved a Debt Yield of not less than six and one half percent (6.50%), and (B) with respect to the Second Extension Option, the Property shall have achieved a Debt Yield of not less than seven and one-quarter percent (7.25%);
(viii) all of the conditions precedent to the extension of the term of the Mortgage Loan (other than the extension of the term of this Loan) shall have been (or concurrently with the extension hereunder will be) satisfied pursuant to and in accordance with the Mortgage Loan Documents;
(ix) [intentionally omitted];
(x) all required Reserves shall have been replenished in amounts consistent with the applicable requirements set forth in this Agreement and otherwise in a manner reasonably satisfactory to Administrative Agent;
(xi) no event shall have occurred which would result in a Material Adverse Effect; and
(xii) Borrower shall have paid all reasonable, actual, out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred by Administrative Agent in connection with the exercise by Borrower of the Extension Option;
provided, however, if any of the foregoing tests set forth in clause (vii) above are not satisfied, Borrower shall have the right either (A) to prepay a portion of the Loan pursuant to the terms of Section 2.12(a) hereof in an amount necessary to satisfy such tests or (B) to deposit Cash into an account established and maintained at Cash Management Bank by Administrative Agent under the sole dominion and control of Administrative Agent for the benefit of Lenders (the “Extension Account”) and/or deliver a Letter of Credit to Administrative Agent (such Cash or Letter of Credit so delivered, “Extension Collateral”), in either or both cases in an amount such that, if such Extension Collateral were applied to prepay the Loan, the Loan Amount would be reduced to an amount which satisfies the foregoing tests set forth in clause (vii), as applicable. If Borrower deposits Extension Collateral in the form of Cash with Administrative Agent, such deposit shall be held in the Extension Account, and all interest earned thereon shall become part of the Extension Collateral. Upon Administrative Agent’s satisfaction that the foregoing tests set forth in clause (vii), as applicable, have been satisfied without regard to the Extension Collateral, then, promptly following the request of Borrower and provided that no Event of Default shall then exist, Administrative Agent shall disburse the Extension Collateral to Borrower if held in the form of Cash or, if held in the form of a Letter of Credit, Administrative Agent shall return such Letter of Credit to Borrower.
52
2.6 Interest on the Loan Prior to Maturity.
(a) The Loan shall bear interest prior to the Maturity Date at a rate per annum equal to the Interest Rate for the applicable Interest Period.
(b) Interest on the Loan shall be payable prior to the Maturity Date (i) in arrears with respect to each Advance, on each Payment Date, commencing on the Payment Date in the first month immediately following the Closing Date and (ii) on any prepayment on a date other than a Payment Date (solely on the principal amount prepaid).
2.7 Intentionally Omitted.
2.8 General Provisions as to Payments.
(a) On each Payment Date through the Maturity Date, Borrower shall pay to Administrative Agent, for the account of the Lenders, accrued and unpaid interest at the Interest Rate on each of the Notes.
(b) [Intentionally Deleted]
(c) Borrower shall make each payment of principal of, and interest on, the Loan and of fees hereunder, not later than 3:00 p.m. (New York time) on the date when due, in immediately available funds in lawful money of the United States of America, delivered to Administrative Agent by wire transfer to such accounts at such banks as Administrative Agent may designate from time to time.
(d) Subject to Section 2.15, all amounts due hereunder shall be payable, without any counterclaim, setoff or deduction whatsoever.
(e) The entire outstanding principal amount of the Notes, all accrued and unpaid interest thereon and all other fees and sums then payable hereunder or under the Loan Documents, including, if applicable, the Minimum Multiple, shall be due and payable in full on the Maturity Date.
53
(f) Administrative Agent shall distribute to each Lender its ratable share of each such payment received by Administrative Agent for the account of Lenders on the next Business Day following the day received by Administrative Agent in Cash. If the date for any payment of principal is extended by operation of law or otherwise, interest thereon shall be payable for such extended time. If and to the extent that Administrative Agent shall receive any such payment for the account of the Lenders on any Business Day, and Administrative Agent shall not have distributed to any Lender its applicable share of such payment on the immediately following Business Day, Administrative Agent shall distribute such amount to such Lender together with interest thereon, for each day from the date such amount should have been distributed to such Lender until the date Administrative Agent distributes such amount to such Lender, at the Federal Funds Rate (any such interest at the Federal Funds Rate payable by Administrative Agent to any Lender shall be payable by Administrative Agent out of its own funds and neither Borrower nor any Guarantor shall have any obligation to pay, or reimburse Administrative Agent, for any such amount required to be paid by Administrative Agent).
(g) Unless Administrative Agent shall have received notice from Borrower prior to the date on which any payment by Borrower is due to Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Lenders, hereunder that Borrower shall not make such payment in full when due, Administrative Agent may assume that Borrower will make such payment in full to Administrative Agent on such date and Administrative Agent may, in reliance upon such assumption, cause to be distributed to each Lender on such due date an amount equal to the amount then due such Lender. If and to the extent that Borrower shall not have so made such payment in full when due, each Lender shall repay to Administrative Agent forthwith on demand such amount distributed to such Lender and not paid by Borrower, together with interest thereon, for each day from the date such amount is distributed to such Lender until the date such Lender repays such amount to Administrative Agent, at the Federal Funds Rate.
2.9 Funding Losses. If Borrower fails to borrow any Advance or, subject to Section 2.12(a), prepay any portion of the Loan after Borrower has given irrevocable notice thereof to Administrative Agent in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, then, in any such event, Borrower shall reimburse Administrative Agent for the account of each applicable Lender, within ten (10) Business Days after written demand therefor, for any resulting out-of-pocket loss or expense actually incurred by such Lender (or by a participant in the Loan), including any out-of-pocket loss actually incurred in obtaining, liquidating or employing deposits from third parties, but excluding loss of margin for the period after any such payment or failure to borrow or prepay, as the case may be, provided that Administrative Agent shall have delivered to Borrower from such Lender a certificate as to the amount of such actual out-of-pocket loss or expense and the calculation thereof, which certificate shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error.
2.10 Calculation of Interest and Fees. All interest and fees shall be calculated on the basis of a year of 360 days and paid for the actual number of days elapsed in the Interest Period or other period for which the calculation is being made.
2.11 Default Interest; Late Payment Charge and Usury Savings.
2.11.1 Default Interest. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, 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 interest at the Default Rate.
54
2.11.2 Application of Payments. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, any repayments of the Debt, may, at Administrative Agent’s option, be applied first to repay any amounts advanced by Administrative Agent and/or Lenders pursuant to the applicable provisions of the Loan Documents, together with any interest at the Default Rate or other charges, fees, expenses and obligations as provided in the Loan Documents, and the balance, if any, shall be applied in payment of any installment of interest or principal (if any) then due and payable.
2.11.3 Late Payment Charge. If any principal (other than principal due on the Maturity Date), interest or other recurring monthly payments due under the Loan Documents is not paid by Borrower when due, Borrower shall pay to Administrative Agent for the account of Administrative Agent and/or the Lenders, as the case may be, within five (5) Business Days of written demand by Administrative Agent to Borrower, a late payment charge (a “Late Payment Charge”) in amount equal to the lesser of (i) five percent (5%) of such unpaid sum or (ii) the maximum amount permitted by applicable law. Borrower shall pay the applicable Late Payment Charge in order to defray the expense incurred by Administrative Agent in handling and processing such delinquent payment and to compensate Administrative Agent and/or Lenders for the loss of the use of such delinquent payment and such Late Payment Charges shall not be added to the principal amount of the Loan and shall not bear interest, but shall be secured by this Agreement, the Pledge Agreement and the other applicable Loan Documents to the extent permitted by applicable law. Any Late Payment Charges shall be in addition to and not in lieu of any interest that accrues at the Default Rate as a result of an Event of Default.
2.11.4 Usury Savings. This Agreement and the Notes are subject to the express condition that, at no time shall interest be charged, or Borrower be required or obligated to pay interest, on the outstanding principal balance of the Loan at a rate which could subject Administrative Agent and/or the Lenders to civil or criminal liability as a result of such interest rate 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 outstanding principal balance of any Note at a rate in excess of the Maximum Legal Rate, then the Interest Rate or the Default Rate for such Note, 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 under such Note. All sums paid or agreed to be paid to Administrative Agent 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 from time to time in effect and applicable to the Loan for as long as the Loan is outstanding.
2.12 Mandatory and Voluntary Prepayments.
(a) Voluntary Prepayments. Borrower may prepay the Loan in whole or in part, without penalty or premium (other than payment of the Minimum Multiple as provided below), upon at least ten (10) Business Days’ prior written notice to Administrative Agent, which notice (each, a “Prepayment Notice”) shall specify the Business Day upon which such prepayment shall be made (each such date, a “Prepayment Date”) and may be revoked by Borrower by written notice to Administrative Agent up until and including the Prepayment Date (provided that Borrower pays all actual out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred by Administrative Agent or any Lender on account of such revocation), provided that, together with such principal prepayment, Borrower pays: (A) all accrued and unpaid interest on the applicable portion of the Loan being prepaid to and including the applicable Prepayment Date, (B) all other sums then due and payable by Borrower under the Loan Documents with respect to the portion of the Loan being prepaid, (C) if such Prepayment Date is not a Payment Date, all interest that would have accrued on the applicable portion of the Loan being prepaid through the last day of the Interest Period within which such Prepayment Date occurs, and (D) contemporaneous with such prepayment of the Loan in full (or a portion thereof, as the case may be) Borrower shall also cause the Mortgage Borrower to prepay the Mortgage Loan or a corresponding percentage thereof based on the Loan Percentage Share in accordance with the provisions of the Mortgage Loan Agreement. If the Minimum Multiple has not been satisfied as of the date of final repayment of the Loan, Borrower’s final prepayment or repayment of the Loan in full shall, in addition to all amounts required above, include the amount necessary to satisfy the Minimum Multiple and such amount shall be distributed by Administrative Agent to the Lenders. Upon receipt of a Prepayment Notice pursuant to this Section 2.12, Administrative Agent shall promptly (but in no event more than one (1) Business Day after Administrative Agent’s receipt of such written notice) notify each Lender of the contents thereof and of such Lender’s ratable share of the principal amount of such prepayment. Except as otherwise provided above, no portion of the Mezzanine Loan shall be prepaid until the Loan has been repaid in full.
55
(b) Prepayments after Event of Default. If, following the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, Borrower, a purchaser at foreclosure or any other Person tenders payment of all or any part of the outstanding principal balance of the Loan, or if all or any portion of the outstanding principal balance of the Loan is recovered by Administrative Agent for the account of the Lenders after such Event of Default, Borrower, such purchaser at foreclosure or such other Person (as the case may be) shall pay (A) interest at the Default Rate on the outstanding principal amount of the Loan through the last day of the Interest Period within which such tender or recovery occurs, and (B) all other sums then due and payable under the Loan Documents (including Late Payment Charges, the Exit Fee and the Prepayment Premium, if appliable). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein or in any other Loan Document, any prepayment of the Debt made concurrently with the occurrence of an Event of Default or while an Event of Default is continuing shall be applied to the Debt in such order and priority as may be determined by Administrative Agent on behalf of the Lenders in its sole discretion.
(c) Net Liquidation Proceeds. Without limiting any other provision of this Agreement, if a Liquidation Event occurs, Borrower shall cause the resulting Net Liquidation Proceeds (other than Net Proceeds to the extent described in Section 2.4.2 above) which are actually received by Borrower to be paid to Lender. On the next occurring Payment Date following the date on which Lender actually receives any such Net Liquidation Proceeds, Borrower is hereby deemed to have authorized Lender to apply such Net Liquidation Proceeds as a prepayment of the Debt in an amount equal to one hundred percent (100%) of such Net Liquidation Proceeds.
56
(d) No Right to Reborrow. The Loan is not a “revolving” loan and, therefore, Borrower may not borrow, repay and reborrow hereunder.
(e) Adjustment of Debt Yield and Debt Service Coverage Ratio Requirements. In the event that Administrative Agent, in its sole discretion, approves any prepayment of the Mortgage Loan which is not accompanied by a concurrent pro rata prepayment of the Loan, Administrative Agent may require, as a condition to granting such approval, that Borrower enter into a modification to this Agreement, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Administrative Agent, which, among other things, shall provide for the modification of any Debt Yield and Debt Service Coverage Ratio requirement thresholds provided for herein in a manner sufficient, in Administrative Agent’s determination, to account for the applicable prepayment of the Mortgage Loan.
2.13 LIBOR Unascertainable. If Administrative Agent advises by written notice thereof to Borrower and Lenders that an Alternative Rate Trigger has occurred, then each such Lender’s obligation to maintain interest based on LIBOR shall be suspended and the Interest Rate applicable to such Lender’s Note shall be based on the Alternative Rate. Computation of the Interest Rate based on the Alternative Rate for such Lender’s Note shall continue until Administrative Agent determines that the circumstances giving rise to Administrative Agent’s substitution of the Alternative Rate Index for LIBOR no longer exist. Administrative Agent shall promptly notify Borrower and Lenders of each such determination.
2.14 Illegality. If, after the Closing Date, any applicable law, rule or regulation is adopted, or any change is made in any existing applicable law, rule or regulation or in the interpretation or administration thereof by any Governmental Authority, central bank or comparable agency charged with the interpretation or administration thereof, or compliance by any Lender (or its Lending Office) with any request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) of any such Governmental Authority, central bank or comparable agency issued after the Closing Date (a “Regulatory Change”) shall make it unlawful for any Lender (or its Lending Office) to make, maintain or fund its LIBOR Loans at the LIBOR Rate, and such Lender shall so notify Administrative Agent (and such determination is consistently applied by such Lender to similarly situated loans and similar borrowers), Administrative Agent shall forthwith give written notice thereof to the other Lenders and Borrower, whereupon (a) the obligation of such Lender to make LIBOR Loans shall be suspended, and (b) each outstanding LIBOR Loan made by such Lender shall be converted into an Alternative Rate Loan on the first day of the immediately succeeding Interest Period or within such earlier period as required by applicable law. If, pursuant to the terms of this Section 2.14, a Lender’s Note is bearing interest at the Alternative Rate and the Regulatory Change which resulted in such Note bearing interest at the Alternative Rate shall no longer exist or be effective or applicable to such Lender, such Lender shall give written notice thereof to Administrative Agent and Borrower, and such Lender’s Note shall bear interest at the LIBOR Rate commencing on the first day of the next succeeding Interest Period. Notwithstanding the foregoing, before giving any notice to Administrative Agent pursuant to this Section 2.14, the applicable Lender shall designate a different Lending Office if such designation will avoid the need for giving such notice and will not, in the judgment of such Lender, be otherwise disadvantageous in any material respect to such Lender. Each Lender or Administrative Agent, as applicable, shall promptly notify Borrower in writing of each such determination made pursuant to the terms of this Section 2.14.
57
2.15 Increased Cost and Reduced Return.
(a) If any Regulatory Change shall hereafter impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve (including any such requirement imposed by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System (but excluding with respect to any LIBOR Loan any such requirement reflected in the Reserve Requirements)), special deposit, insurance assessment or similar requirement against assets of, deposits with or for the account of, or credit extended by, any Lender (or its Lending Office) or shall impose on any Lender (or its Lending Office) or on the London interbank market any other condition affecting such Lender’s LIBOR Loans or its obligation to make LIBOR Loans, and the result of any of the foregoing is to materially increase the cost to such Lender (or its Lending Office) of making or maintaining any LIBOR Loan, or to materially reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by such Lender (or its Lending Office) under the Loan Documents with respect thereto, then, within ten (10) Business Days after written demand by such Lender (with a copy to Administrative Agent), which demand shall be accompanied by a certificate showing, in reasonable detail, the calculation of such amount or amounts (based upon a reasonable allocation thereof by such Lender to LIBOR rate loans made by such Lender), and provided that such Lender is generally exercising rights similar to those set forth in this Section 2.15(a) against other borrowers similarly situated to Borrower, Borrower shall pay to such Lender such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender for such increased cost or reduction to the extent reasonably allocable to such Lender’s LIBOR Loans.
(b) Except with respect to taxes, if any Lender shall have determined reasonably and in good faith that the occurrence, after the Closing Date, of any Regulatory Change regarding capital adequacy has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on capital of such Lender as a consequence of such Lender’s obligations hereunder to a level below that which such Lender could have achieved but for such Regulatory Change regarding capital adequacy (taking into consideration the policies of such Lender and its parent with respect to capital adequacy) by an amount deemed by such Lender to be material (and such determination is consistently applied by such Lender to similarly situated loans and similar borrowers), then from time to time, within ten (10) Business Days after written demand by such Lender (with a copy to Administrative Agent), which demand shall be accompanied by a certificate showing, in reasonable detail, the calculation of such amount or amounts, and provided that such Lender is generally exercising rights similar to those set forth in this Section 2.15(b) against other borrowers similarly situated to Borrower, Borrower shall pay to such Lender such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender for such reduction.
(c) Each Lender shall promptly notify Borrower and Administrative Agent in writing of any event of which it has knowledge, occurring after the Closing Date, which will entitle such Lender to compensation pursuant to this Section 2.15 and will designate a different Lending Office if such designation will avoid the need for, or reduce the amount of, such compensation and will not, in the good faith judgment of such Lender, be otherwise disadvantageous in any material respect to such Lender. A certificate of any Lender claiming compensation under this Section 2.15 and setting forth the additional amount or amounts to be paid to it hereunder shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error. In determining any such amount, each such Lender may use any reasonable averaging and attribution methods.
58
2.16 Taxes.
(a) Any and all payments by Borrower to or for the account of any Lender or Administrative Agent hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall be made free and clear of and without deduction for any and all present or future taxes, duties, levies, imposts, deductions, assessments, withholdings, or other charges imposed by any Governmental Authority, including any interest, additions to tax or penalties applicable thereto, other than Excluded Taxes (collectively, “Taxes”). If Borrower shall be required by law to deduct or withhold any Taxes from or in respect of any sum payable by Borrower under this Agreement or any Note or participation therein to any Lender or Administrative Agent, (i) the sum payable shall be increased as necessary so that, after making all required deductions or withholdings (including deductions and withholding applicable to additional sums payable under this Section 2.16), such Lender or Administrative Agent (as the case may be) receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions been made, (ii) Borrower shall make such deductions and withholdings, (iii) Borrower shall pay the full amount deducted and withheld to the relevant taxation authority or other authority in accordance with applicable law, and (iv) Borrower shall furnish to Administrative Agent, at its address referred to in Section 20.6, the original or a certified copy of a receipt evidencing payment thereof or other evidence of payment as shall be reasonably satisfactory to Administrative Agent).
(b) In addition, Borrower agrees to pay any present or future stamp or documentary taxes, intangibles, recording, mortgage recording and transfer taxes, and any other excise or property taxes, or charges or similar levies which arise from any extension of credit hereunder, any payment made under this Agreement or any Note or participation therein by Borrower to Administrative Agent or any Lender or from the execution and delivery of any Loan Document or the performance of Borrower’s obligations under any Loan Document, or the exercise of remedies by Administrative Agent or any Lender under any Loan Document (hereinafter referred to as “Other Taxes”) except, Excluded Taxes.
(c) Borrower agrees to indemnify each Lender and Administrative Agent for the full amount of Taxes or Other Taxes (including any Taxes or Other Taxes imposed or asserted by any jurisdiction on amounts payable under this Section 2.16) paid by such Lender or Administrative Agent (as the case may be) and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto. Payment under this indemnification shall be made within ten (10) Business Days from the date such Lender or Administrative Agent (as the case may be) makes written demand therefor to Borrower, specifying in reasonable detail the nature and amount of such Taxes and Other Taxes.
59
(d) Each of Administrative Agent, each Lender and each participant organized under the laws of a jurisdiction outside the United States (each, a “Non-U.S. Lender”), (i) on or prior to the date of its execution and delivery of this Agreement in the case of each Non-U.S. Lender listed on the signature pages hereof, (ii) on or prior to the date on which it becomes a Lender in the case of each other Non-U.S. Lender, (iii) in the case where a Non-U.S. Lender changes its applicable lending office by designating a different lending office (a “New Lending Office”), the date upon which such Non-U.S. Lender designates the New Lending Office, (iv) upon the obsolescence or invalidity of any form previously delivered and (v) from time to time thereafter if requested in writing by Borrower (but only as long as such Non-U.S. Lender remains lawfully able to do so), shall provide Borrower with two (2) copies of the Internal Revenue Service Form W-8 EXP, W-8IMY (with applicable attachments), W-8BEN, W-8BEN-E or W-8ECI, as appropriate, or any successor form prescribed by the Internal Revenue Service, properly completed and duly executed by such Non-U.S. Lender, certifying that such Non-U.S. Lender is entitled to receive payments hereunder free from, or subject to a reduced rate of withholding of U.S. federal income tax. In addition to providing Borrower with two (2) copies of the Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN or W-8BEN-E, as appropriate, or any successor form, in the case of a Non-U.S. Lender claiming exemption from U.S. federal withholding tax under Section 871(h) or 881(c) of the Code, such Non-U.S. Lender hereby represents that such Non-U.S. Lender is not (and shall not be) a bank for purposes of Section 881(c) of the Code, is not (and shall not be) a 10-percent shareholder (within the meaning of Section 871(h)(3)(B) of the Code) of Borrower and is not (and shall not be) a controlled foreign corporation related to Borrower (within the meaning of Section 864(d)(4) of the Code), and such Non-U.S. Lender agrees that it shall promptly notify Borrower and Administrative Agent in the event any such representation is no longer accurate. Each of Administrative Agent, each Lender and each participant that is a U.S. person as that term is defined in Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code (each, a “U.S. Lender”), other than a U.S. Lender that may be treated as an exempt recipient based on the indicators described in Treasury Regulation Section 1.6049-4(c)(1)(ii), hereby agrees that it shall (i) on or prior to the date of its execution and delivery of this Agreement in the case of each U.S. Lender listed on the signature pages hereof, (ii) on or prior to the date on which it becomes a U.S. Lender, in the case of each other U.S. Lender, (iii) in the case where a U.S. Lender changes its applicable lending office by designating a New Lending Office, the date upon which such U.S. Lender designates the New Lending Office, (iv) upon the obsolescence or invalidity of any form previously delivered, and (v) from time to time thereafter if reasonably requested in writing by Borrower, deliver to Borrower an accurate, complete and signed copy of the Internal Revenue Service Form W-9 or successor form, certifying that such U.S. Lender is on the date of delivery thereof entitled to an exemption from United States backup withholding tax. Unless Borrower has received such forms or other documents required by this Section 2.16(d), Borrower or Administrative Agent, as the case may be, shall withhold amounts as required by applicable requirements of law from such payments at the applicable statutory rate. Each Non-U.S. Lender and U.S. Lender shall promptly notify Borrower and Administrative Agent at any time it determines that it is no longer in a position to provide any previously delivered form or certification to Borrower (or any other form or certification adopted by the U.S. taxing authorities for such purpose). If the form provided by a Non-U.S. Lender or a U.S. Lender at the time such Non-U.S. Lender or a U.S. Lender first became a party to this Agreement or at any time thereafter (other than by reason of a change in United States law or a change in the terms of any treaty to which the United States is a party after the date such Lender first became a party to this Agreement) indicates a United States interest withholding tax rate in excess of zero (or would have indicated such a withholding tax rate if such form had been submitted and completed accurately and completely and either was not submitted or was not completed accurately and completely), or if a Non-U.S. Lender or a U.S. Lender otherwise is subject to United States withholding tax at a rate in excess of zero at any time for any reason (other than by reason of a change in United States law or regulation or a change in any treaty to which the United States is a party after the date such Lender first became a party to this Agreement), withholding tax at such rate shall be considered excluded from “Taxes” as defined in Section 2.16(a). In addition, any amount that otherwise would be considered “Taxes” or “Other Taxes” for purposes of this Section 2.16 shall be excluded therefrom if the U.S. Lender or Non-U.S. Lender has changed the Lending Office and such amount would not have been incurred had such transfer or change not been made.
60
(e) For any period with respect to which a U.S. Lender or Non-U.S. Lender has failed to provide Borrower with the appropriate form pursuant to Section 2.16(d), such U.S. Lender or Non-U.S. Lender shall not be entitled to indemnification under Section 2.16 with respect to Taxes. If a payment made to a Lender under any Loan Document would be subject to U.S. federal withholding Tax imposed by FATCA if such Lender were to fail to comply with the applicable reporting requirements of FATCA (including those contained in Section 1471(b) or 1472(b) of the Code, as the case may be), such Lender shall deliver to Borrower and Administrative Agent at the time or times prescribed by law and at such time or times reasonably requested by Borrower or Administrative Agent such documentation prescribed by applicable law (including as prescribed by Section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of the Code) and such additional documentation reasonably requested by Borrower or Administrative Agent as may be necessary for Borrower and Administrative Agent to comply with their obligations under FATCA and to determine that such Lender has complied with such Lender’s obligations under FATCA or to determine the amount to deduct and withhold from such payment. Solely for purposes of this clause (e), “FATCA” shall include any amendments made in FATCA after the Closing Date.
(f) Each Lender shall promptly notify Borrower and Administrative Agent in writing of any event of which it has knowledge, occurring after the Closing Date, which will entitle such Lender to compensation pursuant to this Section 2.16 and will designate a different Lending Office if such designation will avoid the need for, or reduce the amount of, such compensation and will not, in the good faith judgment of such Lender, be otherwise disadvantageous in any material respect to such Lender. A certificate of any Lender claiming compensation under this Section 2.16 and setting forth the additional amount or amounts to be paid to it hereunder shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error. In determining such amount, such Lender may use any reasonable averaging and attribution methods (and such determination shall be consistently applied by such Lender to similarly situated loans and similar borrowers).
(g) If Administrative Agent or a Lender shall become aware that a Lender is entitled to claim a refund from a Governmental Authority in respect of Taxes (including Other Taxes) as to which such Lender has been indemnified by Borrower or with respect to which Borrower has paid additional amounts pursuant to this Section 2.16, Administrative Agent or such Lender shall notify Borrower promptly of the availability of such refund claim and shall make a timely claim to such taxation authority for such refund. If a Lender receives a refund (including pursuant to a claim for refund made pursuant to the preceding sentence) in respect of any Taxes (including Other Taxes) as to which it has been indemnified by Borrower or with respect to which Borrower has paid additional amounts pursuant to this Section 2.16, it shall, within thirty (30) days from the date of such receipt pay over the amount of such refund or permanent net tax benefit to Borrower, net of all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses of such Lender and without interest (other than interest paid by the relevant taxation authority with respect to such refund); provided that Borrower, upon the request of such Lender agrees to repay the amount paid over to Borrower (plus penalties, interest or other reasonable charges) to such Lender in the event such Lender is required to repay such refund to such taxation authority or loses such net tax benefit.
61
2.17 Intentionally Omitted.
2.18 Lending Installations. Each Lender may book its Advances at one or more Lending Installations selected by it from time to time, and may change its Lending Installations from time to time by written notice to Borrower, but no such selection or change shall affect the liability of such Lender or result in Borrower being obligated to pay increased costs under this Agreement or the other Loan Documents to Administrative Agent or any Lender in excess of those that would be payable had the Lending Installation not been changed.

If Administrative Agent shall determine that one or more requirements of this Agreement are not satisfied with respect to any Draw Request submitted by Borrower, Administrative Agent will promptly deliver written notice to Borrower detailing any such requirements that have not been satisfied. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, Administrative Agent and Lenders acknowledge that Borrower may submit, on behalf of both Borrower and Mortgage Borrower, a single Draw Request (as such term is defined hereunder and under the Mortgage Loan Agreement) addressed to both Administrative Agent and Mortgage Administrative Agent, rather than separate Draw Requests as contemplated under the terms of this Agreement and the Mortgage Loan Agreement.
74
4.4.2 Required Documentation. Each Draw Request submitted hereunder shall include the following:
(a) a requisition letter in the form set forth in Exhibit C-1, which shall be executed by an Authorized Representative of Borrower;
(b) a requisition spreadsheet in the form set forth in Exhibit C-2, setting forth the purposes and amounts of the TI/LC Costs and/or Hotel Unit Work Costs, as applicable, to be included in the applicable TI/LC Advance and/or the Hotel Unit Work Advance, as applicable;
(c) an executed borrowing certificate in the form set forth in Exhibit C-5;
(d) conditional or final lien waivers, as applicable, for any work performed prior to the applicable Advance Date for (i) any Hotel Unit Work, Tenant Improvement work or Preparation Work performed by Borrower, and (ii) any Tenant Improvement work performed under a Lease by Tenant or other party that permits Borrower, as landlord, to request such lien waivers; and
(e) for any Draw Request relating to the final 10% of Tenant Improvement work to be performed under a TI/LC Advance Qualified Lease, Borrower shall request and otherwise use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain a tenant estoppel letter, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Administrative Agent; provided, however, that obtaining such tenant estoppel letter shall not be a condition precedent to the funding of such final Draw Request, so long as Borrower shall deliver a certificate executed by an Authorized Representative of Borrower certifying as to the matters to be contained in such tenant estoppel letter, including, without limitation, that such Tenant Improvements were completed and paid for (or will be paid for with proceeds from such requested TI/LC Advance) in accordance with the terms of the applicable TI/LC Advance Qualified Lease.
4.4.3 Intentionally Omitted.
4.4.4 One Advance Per Month. Other than Interest/OpEx Advances to pay Debt Service in accordance with this Agreement, Administrative Agent and Lenders shall have no obligation to make Advances more often than once in each calendar month except that Administrative Agent, in its sole discretion, shall have the right but not the obligation, to make and to require Lenders to make Advances more than once per month for Administrative Agent’s third party expenses (including fees and expenses of Construction Consultant and reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements), Impositions and Insurance Premiums when due under the Loan Documents as more particularly described in Section 4.4.5.
75
4.4.5 Advances to Pay Interest, Fees and Operating Expenses.
(a) Subject to the terms of this Agreement, including Section 4.4.5(b), the Interest/OpEx Allocation may be used to pay interest on the Loan and the Mortgage Loan and any other sums due and payable by Borrower or Mortgage Borrower with respect to the Loan or the Mortgage Loan pursuant to any of the Loan Documents or Mortgage Loan Documents. The foregoing authorization shall apply both to the period prior to the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section 4.1 and the period thereafter. Interest/OpEx Advances shall be subject to the terms and conditions of this Section 4.4.5 and such other provisions of this Agreement specifically relating to the Interest/OpEx Allocation (including Section 2.5(b)(i)). Subject to Section 4.4.5(b), Borrower hereby irrevocably requests that Administrative Agent and the Lenders make an Interest/OpEx Advance, on each Payment Date, to pay (A) Debt Service due hereunder on such Payment Date, (B) fees, costs, expenses and other amounts that are then due and payable by Borrower or Mortgage Borrower pursuant to the Loan Documents or the Mortgage Loan Documents on such Payment Date (including Impositions and Insurance Premiums), provided that Borrower or Mortgage Borrower have not otherwise paid (or notified Administrative Agent that it will pay) such amounts when due and payable, (C) Operating Expense deficits in accordance with the Approved Annual Operating Budget, (D) Permitted Operating Expense Deficits and (E) Extraordinary Expenses reasonably approved by Administrative Agent (collectively, “Qualifying Interest/OpEx Payment Obligations”). Notwithstanding the foregoing, Borrower shall have the right, but not the obligation, to directly pay from its own funds any Qualifying Interest/OpEx Payment Obligations (any such direct payment made by Borrower, an “Interest/OpEx Borrower Payment”). If Borrower shall make an Interest/OpEx Borrower Payment, then, at Borrower’s election, the Interest/OpEx Allocation shall be reduced by the amount of such Interest/OpEx Borrower Payment (each such amount, a “Reallocated Interest/OpEx Amount”) and any Reallocated Interest/OpEx Amount shall in turn be available to Borrower as TI/LC Advances and/or Hotel Unit Work Advances. Administrative Agent shall give Borrower notice of any Interest/OpEx Advance made on any Payment Date pursuant to this Section 4.4.5(a) promptly following such Payment Date, and any Interest/OpEx Advance so made shall be deemed to be an Advance made to and received by Borrower and shall be added to the unpaid principal balance of the Notes. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, Administrative Agent and the Lenders shall have no obligation to make any Interest/OpEx Advances with respect to Qualifying Interest/OpEx Payment Obligations if an Event of Default is continuing. No such Interest/OpEx Advance shall be deemed to cure or waive any Default or Event of Default that may then exist. The authorization hereby granted shall be irrevocable, and no further direction or authorization from Borrower shall be necessary for Administrative Agent and/or Lenders to make any Interest/OpEx Advances in accordance with the terms of this Section 4.4.5(a). Neither Administrative Agent nor any Lender shall be deemed to be authorized to make any Interest/OpEx Advance on any Payment Date with respect to any Qualifying Interest/OpEx Payment Obligations that have otherwise been paid by Borrower when due and payable and nothing contained in this Section 4.4.5(a) shall be deemed to prevent Borrower from paying Qualifying Interest/OpEx Payment Obligations from its own funds.
(b) Subject to Borrower’s right to pay the same directly as provided in Section 4.4.5(a), Administrative Agent agrees that Debt Service due and payable on the Loan on any Payment Date and budgeted Operating Expense deficits and Permitted Operating Expense Deficits shall be paid as follows: (A) first, as an Interest/OpEx Advance to the extent of amounts remaining in the Interest/OpEx Allocation, (B) second, subject to the terms of Section 17.6, from the Excess Cash Flow Reserve Account, to the extent of the amount then on deposit therein, and (C) third, from a current payment from Borrower as and when monthly interest payments are due.
(c) At any time after Administrative Agent shall have determined that the Property has achieved a Debt Yield that is at least seven percent (7.00%) for two (2) consecutive calendar quarters, Borrower shall have the right, exercisable by written notice to Administrative Agent, to receive a final Interest/OpEx Advance in the amount of the remaining Interest/OpEx Allocation, in which event (x) the Lenders shall make such final Interest/OpEx Advance to Borrower (subject to satisfaction of the conditions in Sections 4.1) within ten (10) days following Administrative Agent’s receipt of such notice from Borrower, and (y) Lenders shall have no further obligation to make Interest/OpEx Advances under and pursuant to this Agreement.

All insurance provided for in Section 8.1.1 of the Mortgage Loan Agreement shall be obtained under valid and enforceable policies (collectively, the “Policies” or in the singular, the “Policy”) and shall be subject to the reasonable approval of Administrative Agent as to insurance companies, amounts, deductibles, loss payees and insureds. The Policies shall be issued by financially sound and responsible insurance companies authorized to do business in the State and having a claims paying ability rating of “A-” or better by S&P, or “A3” or better by Xxxxx’x, or “A-X” or better by A.M. Best (but in such case only to the extent that such Rating Agency rates the applicable insurer) or such other insurance company as may be reasonably acceptable to Administrative Agent. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Administrative Agent shall accept Xxxxx River Insurance Company, rated “A-:XI” by A.M. Best as the insurer for the general liability Policy, provided that the rating of such insurer is not withdrawn or downgraded below the date hereof. The Policies described in Section 8.1.1(a), (c), (d) and (f) of the Mortgage Loan Agreement (other than those strictly limited to liability protection) shall designate Administrative Agent as a loss payee, subject to the rights of Mortgage Administrative Agent and Mortgage Lender under the Mortgage Loan Documents. Not less than ten (10) days prior to the expiration dates of the Policies theretofore furnished to Administrative Agent, certificates of insurance evidencing the Policies accompanied by evidence satisfactory to Administrative Agent of payment of the premiums due thereunder (the “Insurance Premiums”), shall be delivered by Borrower to Administrative Agent. Complete copies of the Policies shall be submitted to Administrative Agent upon written request; provided that if such Policies have not been issued by the insurers, Borrower shall request and diligently pursue such Policies and submit to Administrative Agent the Policies upon issuance.
8.1.3 Blanket Policy. Except with respect to the insurance coverage required in Section 8.1.1(d) of the Mortgage Loan Agreement, Borrower, Hotel Lessee or Mortgage Borrower shall be permitted to obtain the Policies required under the Mortgage Loan Agreement under a “blanket” insurance Policy in compliance with the provisions of Section 8.1.3 of the Mortgage Loan Agreement.
8.1.4 Insureds. All Policies provided for or contemplated by Section 8.1.1 of the Mortgage Loan Agreement shall name Mortgage Borrower and/or Hotel Lessee as a named insured and, in the case of liability coverages (except for the Policies referenced in Section 8.1.1(e) and (h) of the Mortgage Loan Agreement), and shall name Administrative Agent as an additional insured, as its interests may appear.
8.1.5 No Cancellation. All Policies provided for in Section 8.1.1 of the Mortgage Loan Agreement shall: (i) provide that no act or negligence of Mortgage Borrower or Hotel Lessee, 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 Administrative Agent is concerned; (ii) provide that the Policies shall not be canceled without at least thirty (30) days’ notice to Administrative Agent, except ten (10) days’ notice for non-payment of premium; (iii) provide that the issuers thereof shall give notice to Administrative Agent if the issuers of such Policies elects not to renew ten (10) days prior to its expiration; and (iv) not contain provisions that would make Administrative Agent liable for any Insurance Premiums thereon or subject to any assessments thereunder except to the extent provided by the standard New York mortgage clause.
109
8.1.6 Right to Cure. If at any time Administrative Agent is not in receipt of written evidence that all Policies are in full force and effect, Administrative Agent shall have the right, without prior notice to Borrower, to take such action as Administrative Agent deems necessary to protect its interest in the Property, including the obtaining of such insurance coverages as are required pursuant to Section 8.1 of the Mortgage Loan Agreement (provided that Administrative Agent shall have first consulted with Mortgage Administrative Agent and received written confirmation from Mortgage Administrative Agent that it has elected not to procure such insurance); and if such action is taken, Administrative Agent shall promptly deliver written notice of same to Borrower. All premiums incurred by Administrative Agent in connection with such action or in obtaining such insurance and keeping it in effect shall be paid by Borrower to Administrative Agent upon demand and, until paid, shall be secured by the Pledge Agreement and shall bear interest at the Default Rate. If Borrower, Hotel Lessee or Mortgage Borrower thereafter obtains such Policies acquired by Administrative Agent, Borrower may give notice of same and upon Administrative Agent’s reasonable determination that such Policies acquired by Borrower, Hotel Lessee or Mortgage Borrower meet the terms of this Agreement, Administrative Agent shall cause the Policies it acquired to be terminated and shall deposit any refunded premiums into the Insurance Reserve Account. Borrower shall promptly forward to Administrative Agent a copy of each written notice received by Borrower, Hotel Lessee or Mortgage Borrower of any modification, reduction or cancellation of any of the Policies or of any of the coverages afforded under any of the Policies.
8.2 Condemnation and Insurance Proceeds.
8.2.1 Notification. Borrower shall promptly notify Administrative Agent in writing upon obtaining knowledge of (a) the institution of any proceedings relating to any Taking (whether material or immaterial) of, or (b) the occurrence of any Casualty to the Property or any portion thereof. In addition, each such notice shall set forth such good faith estimate of the cost of repairing or restoring such Casualty or Taking in reasonable detail if the same is then available and, if not, as soon thereafter as it can reasonably be provided.
110
8.2.2 Proceeds. Subject to Mortgage Administrative Agent’s rights under Section 8.2 of the Mortgage Loan Agreement, in the event of any Casualty or any Taking, Borrower’s right, title and interest in and to all compensation, awards, proceeds, damages, claims, insurance recoveries, causes and rights of action (whether accrued prior to or after the Closing Date) and payments which Borrower may receive or to which Borrower may become entitled with respect to the Property or any part thereof other than payments received in connection with any liability or loss of rental value or business interruption insurance (collectively, “Proceeds”), in connection with any such Taking of, or Casualty to, the Property or any part thereof are hereby assigned by Borrower to Administrative Agent and, except as otherwise herein provided, shall be paid to Administrative Agent, subject to Mortgage Borrower’s and Hotel Lessee’s obligation to deposit such amounts with Mortgage Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 8.2 of the Mortgage Loan Agreement. Borrower shall, in good faith and in a commercially reasonable manner, file and prosecute the adjustment, compromise or settlement of any claim for Proceeds and, subject to Borrower’s right to receive the direct payment of any Proceeds as herein provided and Mortgage Borrower’s and Hotel Lessee’s right to receive direct payment of any Proceeds as provided in Section 8.2 of the Mortgage Loan Agreement, shall cause the same to be paid directly to Administrative Agent to be held and applied in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement, subject to Mortgage Borrower’s and Hotel Lessee’s obligation to deposit such amounts with Mortgage Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 8.2 of the Mortgage Loan Agreement. Except upon the occurrence and during the continuance of a monetary Default or an Event of Default, Borrower may, or may cause Mortgage Borrower or Hotel Lessee to, settle any insurance claim with respect to Proceeds which does not exceed the Casualty Amount. Whether or not a monetary Default or an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, Administrative Agent shall have the right to approve, such approval not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed, any settlement which might result in any Proceeds in excess of the Casualty Amount and Borrower shall deliver or cause to be delivered to Administrative Agent all instruments reasonably requested by Administrative Agent to permit such approval. Borrower shall pay all reasonable out-of-pocket costs, fees and expenses actually incurred by Administrative Agent (including all reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses, the reasonable fees of insurance experts and adjusters and reasonable costs incurred in any litigation or arbitration), and interest thereon at the Default Rate to the extent not paid within ten (10) Business Days after delivery of a written request for reimbursement by Administrative Agent, in connection with the settlement of any claim for Proceeds and seeking and obtaining of any payment on account thereof in accordance with the foregoing provisions. If any Proceeds are received by Borrower and may be retained by Borrower pursuant to this Section 8.2, subject to Mortgage Administrative Agent’s rights under the Mortgage Loan Documents, such Proceeds shall, until the completion of the related Restoration, be held in trust for Administrative Agent, and shall be segregated from other funds of Borrower to be used to pay for the cost of the Restoration in accordance with the terms hereof and the Mortgage Loan Documents, and in the event such Proceeds exceed the Casualty Amount, such Proceeds shall be forthwith paid directly to and held by Mortgage Administrative Agent in accordance with the terms of the Mortgage Loan Agreement, or, if the Mortgage Loan is no longer outstanding, to and held by Administrative Agent in the proceeds reserve account established pursuant to Section 5.1.1(c) in trust for Borrower, Hotel Lessee and Mortgage Borrower, in each case to be applied or disbursed in accordance with this Section 8.2. If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, or if Borrower fails to file and/or prosecute any insurance claim for a period of fifteen (15) Business Days following Borrower’s receipt of written notice from Administrative Agent, Borrower hereby irrevocably empowers Administrative Agent, in the name of Borrower as its true and lawful attorney-in-fact, to file and prosecute such claim (including settlement thereof) with counsel satisfactory to Administrative Agent and to collect and to make receipt for any such payment, all at Borrower’s expense (including payment of interest at the Default Rate for any amounts advanced by Administrative Agent pursuant to this Section 8.2), in each case, subject to the rights of Mortgage Administrative Agent under the Mortgage Loan Documents. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Agreement, and excluding situations requiring prepayment of the Notes, to the extent any Proceeds (either singly or when aggregated with all other then unapplied Proceeds with respect to the Property) do not exceed the Casualty Amount, such Proceeds are to be paid directly to Mortgage Borrower or Hotel Lessee as set forth in Section 8.2 of the Mortgage Loan Agreement or, if the Mortgage Loan is no longer outstanding, to Borrower to be applied to Restoration of the Property in accordance with the terms hereof.
111
8.2.3 Administrative Agent to Take Proceeds. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, as long as the Mortgage Loan remains outstanding, all Proceeds shall be held, disbursed and applied as set forth in Section 8.2 of the Mortgage Loan Agreement. From and after such time that the Mortgage Loan is no longer outstanding and Proceeds are held by Administrative Agent and not Mortgage Administrative Agent, Administrative Agent agrees to make Proceeds actually received by Administrative Agent available to Borrower, Hotel Lessee and Mortgage Borrower for purposes of paying for the cost of Restoration in accordance with the provisions of this Section 8.2.3 and Sections 8.2.4 and 8.2.5 below; provided, however, if the Proceeds are less than the Casualty Amount, then such Proceeds (other than the proceeds of any business interruption insurance) will be disbursed to Borrower, Hotel Lessee or Mortgage Borrower in one payment for purposes of paying for the costs of Restoration (or, if no Restoration is feasible or necessary, for such purposes as Borrower shall determine:
(a) no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing;
(b) solely with respect to a Casualty for which the Proceeds received by Mortgage Borrower or Hotel Lessee are insurance proceeds, less than twenty-five percent (25%) of the total floor area of the Improvements on the Property shall have been damaged, destroyed or rendered unusable as a result of such Casualty;
(c) if the Proceeds are condemnation proceeds, less than ten percent (10%) of the land constituting the Property is taken, such land is located along the perimeter or periphery of the Property, and no portion of the Improvements is located on such land or is being taken;
(d) the Hotel Management Agreement shall either remain in full force or, if terminated, shall have been replaced with a replacement Hotel Management Agreement in accordance with the terms of this Agreement;
(e) Administrative Agent shall have determined, in its reasonable judgment, that the proceeds of any applicable business interruption insurance (together with any projected revenues and any additional funds on deposit, or to be deposited, with Administrative Agent, other funds of Borrower and any remaining Advances and Mortgage Advances allocated for such purposes) are sufficient to pay all (i) Aggregate Debt Service coming due under the Loan Documents and the Mortgage Loan Documents through the end of the Restoration, and (ii) Operating Expenses through the end of the Restoration, unless Borrower or Mortgage Borrower deposits into the Cash Management Account any such shortfall;
(f) Administrative Agent shall be satisfied that the Restoration will be completed on or before the earliest to occur of (i) three (3) months prior to the Maturity Date, (ii) such time as may be required under applicable Legal Requirements, and (iii) the expiration of any business interruption insurance coverage required hereunder, unless Borrower or Mortgage Borrower deposits into the Cash Management Account any such shortfall;
(g) the Property and the use thereof after the Restoration will be in compliance with and permitted under all applicable Legal Requirements in all material respects;
(h) such Casualty or Taking, as the case may be, does not result in the loss of access to the Property or the related Improvements;
112
(i) the Debt Yield, after giving effect to the Restoration, shall be equal to or greater than the Debt Yield in effect immediately prior to the applicable Casualty or Taking; provided, however, that Borrower shall have the right to satisfy the foregoing requirement by depositing collateral with Administrative Agent in the form of Cash or a Letter of Credit in an amount which, if it were applied to prepay the Loan, would reduce the Loan Amount to an amount which satisfies the foregoing requirement;
(j) the Loan-to-Value Ratio, after giving effect to the Restoration, shall be equal to or less than the Loan-to-Value Ratio in effect immediately prior to the applicable Casualty or Taking; provided, however, that Borrower shall have the right to satisfy the foregoing requirement by depositing collateral with Administrative Agent in the form of Cash or a Letter of Credit in an amount which, if it were applied to prepay the Loan, would reduce the Loan Amount to an amount which satisfies the foregoing requirement;
(k) Borrower shall deliver to Administrative Agent for Administrative Agent’s reasonable approval a reasonably detailed budget certified by Mortgage Borrower’s or Hotel Lessee’s architect or engineer to accurately describe the entire projected cost of completing the Restoration; and
(l) the Proceeds, together with any cash or cash equivalent deposited by Borrower or Mortgage Borrower with Administrative Agent, are sufficient in Administrative Agent’s reasonable discretion to cover the cost of Restoration.
Any Proceeds not made available to Borrower, Hotel Lessee or Mortgage Borrower for Restoration due to the foregoing conditions not being satisfied, shall be paid over to Administrative Agent (if not paid directly to Administrative Agent) and any Proceeds remaining after reimbursement of Administrative Agent’s or its Administrative Agent’s reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses actually incurred in connection with recovery of any such Proceeds (including reasonable out-of-pocket administrative costs and inspection fees) shall be applied by Administrative Agent to prepay the Mortgage Notes in accordance with the provisions of the Mortgage Loan Agreement, and the balance, if any shall be paid to the Administrative Agent for the benefit of Lenders (without any prepayment fee, premium, penalty or Minimum Multiple), or if the Loan shall no longer be outstanding or if there is a balance after such application, shall be paid to Borrower. In addition to the foregoing, if the Proceeds from a Casualty or Taking exceed the Casualty Amount and Administrative Agent elects to apply such Proceeds to prepay the Notes in accordance with the foregoing sentence, then Borrower shall have the right, within ninety (90) days following the date that Administrative Agent applies such Proceeds, to prepay the Loan in full without payment of any prepayment fee, penalty or premium (including any Minimum Multiple) that would otherwise be applicable to such prepayment.
113
8.2.4 Mortgage Borrower or Hotel Lessee to Restore.
(a) As long as the Mortgage Loan remains outstanding, Borrower shall cause Mortgage Borrower and Hotel Lessee to comply with the terms and conditions of Section 8.2.4(a) of the Mortgage Loan Agreement. If the Mortgage Loan is no longer outstanding and if Proceeds are made available to Borrower, Hotel Lessee or Mortgage Borrower by Administrative Agent in accordance with the terms of this Agreement if Administrative Agent is required to make Proceeds available to Borrower, Hotel Lessee or Mortgage Borrower pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, promptly after the occurrence of any damage or destruction to all or any portion of the Property or a Taking of a portion of the Property, Borrower shall commence and diligently prosecute, or cause to be commenced and diligently prosecuted, to completion, subject to Excusable Delays, the repair, restoration and rebuilding of the Property (in the case of a partial Taking, to the extent it is capable of being restored) so damaged, destroyed or remaining after such Taking in full compliance with all material Legal Requirements and free and clear of any and all Liens except Permitted Encumbrances (such repair, restoration and rebuilding are sometimes hereinafter collectively referred to as the “Restoration”). The plans and specifications for the Restoration shall require that the Restoration be done, and Borrower shall cause Mortgage Borrower or Hotel Lessee to cause the work to be done, in a commercially reasonable manner substantially similar or better to the quality and character prior to the damage or destruction (provided, however, that in the case of a partial Taking, the Restoration shall be done to the extent reasonably practicable after taking into account the consequences of such partial Taking), so that upon completion thereof, the Property shall be at least equal in value and general utility to the Property prior to the damage or destruction; it being understood, however, that Borrower shall not be obligated to cause Mortgage Borrower or Hotel Lessee to restore the Property to the precise condition of the Property prior to any partial Taking of, or Casualty to, the Property, if the Restoration actually performed, if any, or failed to be performed, shall have no Material Adverse Effect on the value of the Property from the value that the Property would have had if the same had been restored to its condition immediately prior to such Taking or Casualty (after taking into account the consequences of the partial Taking). Subject to Borrower’s right to prepay the Loan in full, in the event of a Casualty or a partial Taking affecting the Property, Borrower shall be obligated to cause Mortgage Borrower or Hotel Lessee to restore the Property in accordance with the provisions of this Section 8.2 whether or not the Proceeds shall be sufficient, provided that the Proceeds shall be made available to Borrower, Hotel Lessee or Mortgage Borrower by Administrative Agent in accordance with this Agreement or by Mortgage Administrative Agent to Mortgage Borrower or Hotel Lessee in accordance with the Mortgage Loan Agreement, as applicable.
(b) As long as the Mortgage Loan remains outstanding, all Proceeds shall be held, disbursed and applied as set forth in Section 8.2.4(b) of the Mortgage Loan Agreement. If the Mortgage Loan is no longer outstanding and if Proceeds are not required to be applied toward payment of the Debt pursuant to the terms hereof, then Administrative Agent shall make the Proceeds which it is holding pursuant to the terms hereof (after deduction of any reasonable out-of-pocket expenses actually incurred by Administrative Agent in connection with the collection thereof and, to the extent the same are not paid within ten (10) Business Days after written request for reimbursement by Administrative Agent, after deduction of an amount equal to interest on such reimbursement amounts at the Default Rate from the date advanced through the date of reimbursement) available to Borrower, Hotel Lessee or Mortgage Borrower for payment of or reimbursement of Mortgage Borrower’s or Hotel Lessee’s expenses incurred with respect to the Restoration, upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in paragraphs (i), (ii) and (iii) below and in Section 8.2.5:
(i) at the time of loss or damage or at any time thereafter while Borrower, Hotel Lessee or Mortgage Borrower is holding any portion of the Proceeds, there shall be no continuing monetary Default or Event of Default;
(ii) each of Administrative Agent and an Independent Architect shall have reasonably approved the plans and specifications for the Restoration and any change orders in connection with such plans and specifications; and
114
(iii) Administrative Agent shall, within a reasonable period of time prior to request for initial disbursement, be furnished with an estimate of the cost of the Restoration accompanied by Independent Architect’s certification as to such costs and the appropriate plans and specifications for the Restoration. Upon Administrative Agent’s reasonable approval of said costs and any modifications to such plans and specifications, as the case may be, Borrower shall cause Mortgage Borrower or Hotel Lessee to restore all Improvements such that when they are materially restored and/or repaired, such Improvements and their contemplated use comply in all material respects with all applicable Legal Requirements, including zoning, environmental and building laws, codes, ordinances and regulations.
8.2.5 Disbursement of Proceeds.
(a) As long as the Mortgage Loan remains outstanding, all Proceeds shall be held, disbursed and applied as set forth in Section 8.2.5(a) of the Mortgage Loan Agreement. If the Mortgage Loan is no longer outstanding, subject to the introductory paragraph proviso of Section 8.2.3, disbursements of the Proceeds to Borrower, Hotel Lessee or Mortgage Borrower hereunder shall be made from time to time (but not more frequently than once in any month) by Administrative Agent but only for as long as no monetary Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, as the Restoration progresses upon receipt by Administrative Agent of (i) an Officer’s Certificate dated not more than ten (10) Business Days prior to the application for such payment, requesting such payment or reimbursement and describing the Restoration performed that is the subject of such request, the parties that performed such Restoration and the actual cost thereof, and also certifying that such Restoration and materials are or, upon disbursement of the payment requested to the parties entitled thereto, will be free and clear of Liens other than Permitted Encumbrances, (ii) evidence reasonably satisfactory to Administrative Agent that (A) all materials installed and work and labor performed in connection with such Restoration that was the subject of the prior disbursement of Proceeds have been paid for in full or will be paid upon receipt of such disbursement, and (B) there exists no notices of pendency, stop orders, mechanic’s liens or notices of intention to file same (unless the same is required by State law as a condition to the payment of a contractor) or any Liens, other than Permitted Encumbrances, on the Property arising out of the Restoration which, subject to Borrower’s, Hotel Lessee’s and Mortgage Borrower’s right of contest set forth in Section 9.3, have not been either fully bonded to the reasonable satisfaction of Administrative Agent and discharged of record, and (iii) an Independent Architect’s certificate certifying performance of the Restoration together with an estimate of the cost to complete the Restoration. No payment made prior to the final completion of the Restoration, as certified by the Independent Architect, except for payment made to contractors whose Restoration shall have been fully completed and from which final lien waivers have been received, shall exceed ninety percent (90%) of the value of the Restoration performed and materials furnished and incorporated into the Improvements from time to time, and at all times the undisbursed balance of said Proceeds together with all amounts deposited, bonded, guaranteed or otherwise provided for pursuant to Section 8.2.4(b) above, shall be at least sufficient to pay for the estimated cost of completion of the Restoration. Final payment of all Proceeds remaining with Administrative Agent shall be made upon receipt by Administrative Agent of a certification by the Independent Architect, as to the completion of the Restoration substantially in accordance with the plans and specifications approved by Administrative Agent, final lien releases, and delivery of a temporary or permanent certificate of occupancy with respect to the Restoration, or, if not applicable, an Officer’s Certificate to the effect that a certificate of occupancy is not required.
115
(b) As long as the Mortgage Loan remains outstanding, all Proceeds shall be held, disbursed and applied as set forth in Section 8.2.5(b) of the Mortgage Loan Agreement. If the Mortgage Loan is no longer outstanding, after the Restoration is completed and all costs of completion have been paid, there are excess Proceeds, Administrative Agent shall apply such excess Proceeds with respect to the Taking of or Casualty to the Property to the payment or prepayment of all or any portion of the Debt in accordance with Section 2.11.2 of this Agreement without penalty or premium and any balance thereof shall be disbursed to Borrower.
IX. IMPOSITIONS, LIENS AND OTHER ITEMS.
9.1 Borrower to Pay Impositions.
(a) Borrower shall cause Mortgage Borrower and Hotel Lessee to pay all Impositions now or hereafter levied or assessed or imposed against the Property or any part thereof as the same become due and payable. If at any time Administrative Agent reasonably determines, based on applicable Legal Requirements, that any applicable mortgage recording taxes (or payments in lieu thereof) have not been paid with respect to the Property, Borrower agrees that Borrower shall, on demand, cause Mortgage Borrower or Hotel Lessee to pay any such additional mortgage recording taxes. Borrower will deliver to Administrative Agent receipts for payment or other evidence reasonably satisfactory to Administrative Agent that the Impositions have been so paid or are not then delinquent no later than ten (10) days prior to the date on which the Impositions would otherwise be delinquent if not paid. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Borrower’s obligation to cause Mortgage Borrower and Hotel Lessee to directly pay Impositions for which Administrative Agent or Mortgage Administrative Agent is reserving funds pursuant to Section 17.1 hereof or Section 17.1 of the Mortgage Loan Agreement (and to provide evidence of the same) shall be suspended for as long as Borrower, Hotel Lessee or Mortgage Borrower complies with the terms and provisions of Section 17.1 hereof or Section 17.1 of the Mortgage Loan Agreement, as applicable. Nothing contained in this Agreement or any other Loan Document shall be construed to require Administrative Agent to pay any tax, assessment, levy or charge imposed on Borrower in the nature of a franchise, capital levy, estate, inheritance, succession, income or net revenue tax.
(b) Nothing contained in this Agreement shall be deemed to require Borrower, Hotel Lessee or Mortgage Borrower to pay any amount, as long as Borrower, Hotel Lessee or Mortgage Borrower is in good faith, and by proper legal proceedings, diligently contesting the validity, amount or application thereof in accordance with Section 9.3. Notwithstanding anything set forth herein, in no event shall Borrower be permitted under this Section 9.1(b) or under Section 9.3 to enter into a note or other instrument for borrowed money.
9.2 No Liens. Subject to its right of contest set forth in Section 9.3, Borrower shall cause Mortgage Borrower and Hotel Lessee to at all times keep, or cause to be kept, the Property free from all Liens (other than Permitted Encumbrances) and shall pay when due and payable (or bond over) all claims and demands of mechanics, materialmen, laborers and others which, if unpaid, might result in or permit the creation of a Lien on the Property or any portion thereof and shall in any event cause the prompt, full and unconditional discharge of all Liens imposed on or against the Property or any portion thereof within forty-five (45) days after receiving written notice of the filing (whether from Administrative Agent, the lienor or any other Person) thereof. Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default with respect to its obligations as set forth in this Article IX, Administrative Agent may (but shall not be obligated to) make such payment or discharge such Lien, and Borrower shall reimburse Administrative Agent on demand for all such advances pursuant to Section 20.12 (together with interest thereon at the Default Rate).
116
9.3 Contest. Borrower, at its own expense, may, or may cause Mortgage Borrower or Hotel Lessee to, contest (after prior written notice to Administrative Agent) 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 Impositions, any Liens imposed on the Property, and the application of any Legal Requirement, provided that:
(a) no Event of Default shall exist and be continuing hereunder;
(b) such proceeding shall be permitted under and be conducted in accordance with the provisions of any other instrument and any applicable Legal Requirements to which Borrower, Mortgage Borrower, Hotel Lessee or the Property is subject;
(c) neither the Property nor any part thereof or interest therein will be in danger of being sold, forfeited, terminated, cancelled or lost;
(d) Borrower shall keep Administrative Agent informed of the status of such contest at reasonable intervals;
(e) if Borrower, Hotel Lessee or Mortgage Borrower is not providing security as provided in clause (g) below or in accordance with the Mortgage Loan Agreement, adequate reserves with respect thereto are maintained on Borrower’s, Hotel Lessee’s or Mortgage Borrower’s books (as determined by an Independent Accountant);
(f) either such contest operates to suspend collection or enforcement as the case may be, of the contested Imposition, Lien or Legal Requirement and such contest is maintained and prosecuted continuously and with diligence or the Imposition or Lien is bonded; provided, however, that with respect to any Lien filed by any Contractor in respect of work or services performed or materials supplied to the Property, the same shall be required to be discharged of record (whether by bonding, payment or otherwise) regardless of amount within forty-five (45) days from the date such Lien first encumbers the Property; and
(g) in the case of Impositions and Liens which are not bonded (other than those required to be discharged of record pursuant to subclause (f) hereof or which have been paid in full), during such contest, (i) if the Mortgage Loan remains outstanding. Borrower shall cause Mortgage Borrower or Hotel Lessee to deposit with or deliver to Mortgage Administrative Agent, and (ii) if the Mortgage Loan is no longer outstanding, Borrower, Hotel Lessee or Mortgage Borrower shall deposit with or deliver to Administrative Agent either Cash and Cash Equivalents or Letter(s) of Credit in an amount equal to one hundred twenty-five percent (125%) of (i) the amount of Borrower’s obligations being contested plus (ii) any additional interest, charge, or penalty arising from such contest.
117
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the creation of any such reserves or the furnishing of any bond or other security, Borrower, Hotel Lessee or Mortgage Borrower promptly shall comply with any contested Legal Requirement or shall pay any contested Imposition or Lien, and compliance therewith or payment thereof shall not be deferred, if, at any time the Property or any portion thereof shall be, in Administrative Agent’s reasonable judgment, in imminent danger of being forfeited or lost or Administrative Agent is likely to be subject to civil or criminal damages as a result thereof (and Administrative Agent shall make any deposit held by it in connection therewith available for such compliance by Borrower and Mortgage Borrower). Borrower shall, or shall cause Mortgage Borrower or Hotel Lessee, as applicable, to, promptly upon final determination thereof pay the amount of any such Impositions, or Lien, together with all costs, interest and penalties which may be payable in connection therewith, and comply with any such contested Legal Requirement.
X. TRANSFERS.
10.1 Reliance by Administrative Agent and Lenders. Borrower acknowledges that Administrative Agent and the Lenders have examined and relied on the experience of Borrower and its members and principals in owing the Collateral, and the expertise of Mortgage Borrower and certain of its members and principals in owning, leasing, developing, constructing and operating properties such as the Property in agreeing to make the Loan, and will continue to rely on Borrower’s owning the Collateral and Mortgage Borrower’s owning, leasing, development and construction of the Property as a means of maintaining the value of the Collateral and the Property as security for repayment of the Debt and the performance of the Obligations under the Loan Documents. Borrower acknowledges that Administrative Agent and the Lenders have a valid interest in maintaining the value of the Property so as to ensure that, should Borrower default in the repayment of the Debt or the performance of the Obligations, Administrative Agent on behalf of the Lenders can recover the Debt by a sale of the Collateral.
10.2 No Transfers. Except for Permitted Transfers, without the prior written consent of Administrative Agent, Borrower shall not, and shall not permit to occur, any (a) Transfer of (i) the Property or the Collateral, any part thereof, or any legal or beneficial interest therein, or (ii) any direct or indirect Equity Interest in Borrower, Mortgage Borrower, Hotel Lessee or Guarantor, or (b) change of Control of Borrower, Mortgage Borrower, Hotel Lessee or Guarantor which would result in the Control Requirement not being satisfied. Administrative Agent shall not be required to demonstrate any actual impairment of its security or any increased risk of default hereunder in order to declare the Debt immediately due and payable upon a Transfer without Administrative Agent’s consent in violation of this Article X that constitutes an Event of Default. The provisions of this Section 10.2 shall apply to every such Transfer (other than a Permitted Transfer) regardless of whether voluntary or not, or whether or not Administrative Agent has consented to any previous such Transfer.
118
10.3 Permitted Transfers.
(a) Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of Section 10.2 or anything else to the contrary contained in this Agreement, the following Transfers (each, a “Permitted Transfer” and, collectively, the “Permitted Transfers”) shall be permitted without Administrative Agent’s prior written consent thereto, but shall be subject to the satisfaction of the terms and conditions precedent set forth below:
(i) The acquisition of the Property (or any portion thereof) by any Person in connection with the exercise of remedies by Mortgage Administrative Agent or Mortgage Lenders under the Mortgage Loan Documents;
(ii) (A) The pledge by Borrower of its direct Equity Interest in Mortgage Borrower to Administrative Agent pursuant to the Loan Documents; and (B) the acquisition of such Equity Interests by any Person in connection with the exercise by Administrative Agent or any Lender of remedies under the Loan Documents in accordance with the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement;
(iii) [Intentionally Omitted];
(iv) Leases entered into in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Loan Documents and the Mortgage Loan Documents;
(v) Transfers that occur upon the death or incapacity of a natural person that was the holder of such interest by will or devise, or by operation of law to a member of the immediate family of such interest holder or a trust (or other entity) or family conservatorship established for the benefit of such immediate family member; and
(vi) Transfers (but not pledges, collateral assignments, hypothecations, or encumbrances) (A) of up to forty-nine percent (49%) (in the aggregate) of the direct or indirect Equity Interests in Borrower, Hotel Lessee or Mortgage Borrower (excluding managing member and general partner interests, if applicable) to one or more Persons who did not own direct or indirect Equity Interests in Borrower, Hotel Lessee or Mortgage Borrower as of the Closing Date; (B) for bona fide estate planning purposes to any trust or trusts for the benefit of any one or more of the foregoing persons described in this clause (v); (C) necessary for compliance with ERISA; (D) of direct or indirect Equity Interests in Borrower, Hotel Lessee or Mortgage Borrower to and among Persons owning direct or indirect Equity Interests in Borrower, Hotel Lessee or Mortgage Borrower as of the Closing Date; (E) of preferred interests in any real estate investment trust owning a direct or indirect interest in Borrower, Hotel Lessee or Mortgage Borrower required in order to maintain such Person’s status as a real estate investment trust; or (F) of non-controlling limited partnership or membership interests in an investment fund.
(b) Any Transfer (other than a Permitted Transfer described in Section 10.3(a)(ii)(B) above) that would cause a transferee (together with its Affiliates) who did not previously own 20% or more of the indirect Equity Interests in Borrower, Hotel Lessee or Mortgage Borrower to own twenty percent (20%) or more of the indirect Equity Interests in Borrower, Hotel Lessee or Mortgage Borrower shall be subject to Administrative Agent’s customary “Know Your Customer” searches and requirements (including credit history check, litigation, bankruptcy, judgment and other customary searches, which searches shall be satisfactory to Administrative Agent in its reasonable discretion).

11.1 Interest Rate Cap Agreement. Borrower shall, within thirty (30) days after the occurrence of a Springing LIBOR Event, (a) obtain an Interest Rate Cap Agreement with a term continuing for the remaining Term until the Initial Maturity Date, with an Approved Counterparty and having a strike rate (the “Strike Price”) equal to (or, at Borrower’s option, lower than) two percent (2.0%), and (b) collaterally assign to Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Lenders, pursuant to an Assignment of Interest Rate Cap Agreement, all of its right, title and interest to receive any and all payments under such Interest Rate Cap Agreement.

(d) If Borrower fails to purchase, maintain and deliver to Administrative Agent an Interest Rate Cap Agreement as and when required hereunder, Administrative Agent may purchase the Interest Rate Cap Agreement and the actual cost incurred by Administrative Agent in purchasing the Interest Rate Cap Agreement shall be paid by Borrower to Administrative Agent with interest thereon at the Default Rate from the date such cost was incurred by Administrative Agent until such cost is paid by Borrower to Administrative Agent.
(e) Borrower shall not sell, assign, or otherwise dispose of, or encumber, pledge or grant a security interest in, any of the Rate Cap Collateral or any interest therein, and any sale, assignment, encumbrance, pledge or security interest whatsoever made in violation of this covenant shall be a nullity and of no force and effect, and upon demand of Administrative Agent, shall forthwith be cancelled or satisfied by an appropriate instrument in writing.

(i) the Counterparty and, if applicable, any guarantor of the Counterparty’s obligations, are each 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, the Acknowledgment and any guaranty of the Interest Rate Cap;

(A) after giving effect to such Secondary Market Transaction, the total maximum principal amount of the Loan and the Mortgage Loan and/or any Tranches therein created by a Secondary Market Transaction shall not exceed the sum of the Loan Amount and the Mortgage Loan Amount;
127
(B) except to the extent set forth in Section 15.2, the Secondary Market Transaction shall not increase (other than with respect to ministerial and other de minimis matters) Borrower’s or any Guarantor’s obligations or decrease (other than with respect to ministerial and other de minimis matters) their rights under the Loan Documents;
(C) provided that no Event of Default then exists, prior to the funding in full by a Lender of its Commitment, any assignee or transferee of the unfunded any portion such Lender’s Commitment shall be an Eligible Assignee;

Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, nothing herein shall prohibit Administrative Agent and Lenders from selling, assigning or otherwise transferring all or any portion of their respective interests in the Loan at any time in the event that Administrative Agent or Lenders are required to sell all or any portion of their respective interests in the Loan in order to comply with applicable Legal Requirements; provided that the foregoing shall not absolve Administrative Agent and/or the applicable Lenders of their obligations to comply with conditions (A) through (C) and (E) above.
128
(b) Administrative Agent, acting solely for this purpose as non-fiduciary agent of Borrower, shall maintain a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders, and principal amounts (and stated interest) of each of the Notes (the “Register”).

A Note may be participated in whole or in part only by registration of such participation on the Participant Register. Any participation of such Note may be effected only by the registration of such participation on the Participant Register. The Participant Register shall be available for inspection by Borrower at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.
15.2 Borrower Cooperation.

If Borrower fails to cooperate with Administrative Agent within fifteen (15) Business Days of written request by Administrative Agent, Administrative Agent is hereby appointed as Borrower’s attorney in fact, coupled with an interest, to execute any and all documents necessary to accomplish such modifications (but in any event the Loan Documents shall be deemed to have been modified to incorporate any such modifications as Administrative Agent may so notify Borrower of in writing) and at Administrative Agent’s option, declare such failure to be an Event of Default.

(c) Borrower shall not be obligated to incur any cost and expense in excess of $5,000 in connection with complying with the requests made under Section 15.1 or this Section 15.2 and under Sections 15.1 and 15.2 of the Mortgage Loan Agreement, it being agreed that the reasonable fees and expenses of Borrower’s counsel incurred in connection with a Secondary Market Transaction shall be paid by the Lenders.

Borrower shall not be responsible for payment of any set up fees or any other initial costs relating to or arising under the Servicing Agreement or the monthly non-special servicing fee due to Servicer under the Servicing Agreement; provided, however, Borrower shall be responsible for the payment of any “special servicing”, “workout”, and “liquidation” fees incurred pursuant to the Servicing Agreement in connection with any default or workout of the Loan.

XVI. ASSIGNMENTS AND PARTICIPATIONS.
16.1 Assignment and Acceptance. The parties to each Secondary Market Transaction assignment shall execute and deliver to Administrative Agent, for its acceptance and recording in the Register, an Assignment and Acceptance, with (and subject to) the subscribed consent of Administrative Agent. Upon the consummation of any assignment pursuant to this Section 16.1, the transferor Lender, Administrative Agent and Borrower shall make appropriate arrangements in accordance with Section 7.1.11 so that, if required, a new Note or Notes are issued to the assignee. In connection with any such assignment, the transferor Lender shall pay to Administrative Agent an administrative fee for processing such assignment in the amount of $3,500 (and Borrower shall not be liable for any portion of such $3,500 fee).

17.1 Tax Reserve Account. As long as the Mortgage Loan remains outstanding, Borrower shall cause Mortgage Borrower to comply with its obligations under Section 17.1 of the Mortgage Loan Agreement. Subject to Section 4.4.5(a), if any Borrower elects to make any portion of any such payment from an Advance, Borrower shall request Advances to pay for Impositions not later than the Payment Date immediately preceding each date on which an installment of Impositions shall be due and payable. Solely to the extent required pursuant to Section 17.7, from and after the Payment Date first occurring after (x) written notice from Administrative Agent to Borrower instructing Borrower to begin making deposits to the Tax Reserve Account and (y) the establishment of a tax reserve account pursuant to and in accordance with Section 5.1.1(c) (such tax reserve account, the “Tax Reserve Account”), and on each Payment Date thereafter, Borrower shall deposit into the Tax Reserve Account, first as set forth in Section 5.1.6(a) and, to the extent such funds are insufficient, second from Interest/OpEx Advances under this Agreement and third from funds provided by Borrower, an amount equal to one-twelfth of the annual Impositions that Administrative Agent reasonably estimates will be payable during the next ensuing twelve (12) months in order to accumulate with Administrative Agent sufficient funds to pay all such Impositions at least thirty (30) days prior to the imposition of any interest, charges or expenses for the non-payment thereof (hereinafter called the “Monthly Tax Reserve Amount”, and the aggregate amount of funds held in the Tax Reserve Account being the “Tax Reserve Amount”). Notwithstanding the foregoing, but subject to and in accordance with the terms of Section 4.4.5 and 17.6, (i) Interest/OpEx Advances from the Interest/OpEx Allocation shall first be used to make deposits of the Monthly Tax Reserve Amount, (ii) then amounts available in the Excess Cash Flow Reserve Account shall be utilized to make deposits of the Monthly Tax Reserve Amount, and (iii) then, to the extent such funds are insufficient to fully fund the Monthly Tax Reserve Amount, Borrower shall deposit the balance from its own funds. Administrative Agent will apply the Monthly Tax Reserve Amount to payments of Impositions required to be made by Borrower or Mortgage Borrower pursuant to this Agreement and the Mortgage Loan Agreement, subject to Borrower’s and Mortgage Borrower’s right to contest Impositions in accordance with Section 9.3. In making any payment relating to the Tax Reserve Account, Administrative Agent may do so according to any xxxx, statement or estimate procured from the appropriate public office, 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 until such time as Borrower shall notify Administrative Agent of a potential inaccuracy in any xxxx, statement or estimate or challenge the validity of any tax, assessment, sale, forfeiture, tax lien or title or claim thereof. If the amount of funds in the Tax Reserve Account shall exceed the amounts due for Impositions pursuant to this Agreement, Administrative Agent shall credit such excess against future payments to be made to the Tax Reserve Account. Upon payment of the Impositions, Administrative Agent shall reassess the amount necessary to be deposited in the Tax Reserve Account for the succeeding period, which calculation shall take into account any excess amounts remaining in the Tax Reserve Account. Any Tax Reserve Amount remaining on deposit in the Tax Reserve Account upon the satisfaction in full of the Debt (exclusive of any indemnification or other obligations which are expressly stated in any of the Loan Documents to survive the satisfaction of the Note(s) in full) shall be disbursed to Borrower.
132
17.2 Insurance Reserve Account. As long as the Mortgage Loan remains outstanding, Borrower shall cause Mortgage Borrower to comply with its obligations under Section 17.2 of the Mortgage Loan Agreement. Subject to Section 4.4.5(a), if Borrower elects to make any portion of any such payment from an Advance, Borrower shall request Advances to pay for Insurance Premiums payable by Borrower not later than the Payment Date immediately preceding each date on which the Insurance Premiums will be payable for the renewal of the coverage afforded by the Policies upon the expiration thereof. Solely to the extent required pursuant to Section 17.7, from and after the Payment Date first occurring after (x) written notice from Administrative Agent to Borrower instructing Borrower to begin making deposits to the Insurance Reserve Account and (y) the establishment of a tax reserve account pursuant to and in accordance with Section 5.1.1(c) (such tax reserve account, the “Insurance Reserve Account”), and on each Payment Date thereafter, Borrower shall deposit into the Insurance Reserve Account, first as set forth in Section 5.1.6(a) and, to the extent such funds are insufficient, second from Interest/OpEx Advances under this Agreement and third from funds provided by Borrower, an amount equal to one-twelfth of the Insurance Premiums payable by Borrower or Mortgage Borrower that Administrative Agent reasonably estimates, based on the most recent xxxx, will be payable for the renewal of the coverage afforded by the Policies upon the expiration thereof in order to accumulate with Administrative Agent sufficient funds to pay all such Insurance Premiums at least thirty (30) days prior to the expiration of the Policies required to be maintained by Borrower or Mortgage Borrower pursuant to the terms hereof (said monthly amounts hereinafter called the “Monthly Insurance Reserve Amount”, and the aggregate amount of funds held in the Insurance Reserve Account being the “Insurance Reserve Amount”). Notwithstanding the foregoing, but subject to and in accordance with the terms of Section 4.4.5 and 17.6, (i) Interest/OpEx Advances from the Interest/OpEx Allocation shall first be used to make deposits of the Monthly Insurance Reserve Amount, (ii) then amounts available in the Excess Cash Flow Reserve Account shall be utilized to make deposits of the Monthly Insurance Reserve Amount, and (iii) then, to the extent such funds are insufficient to fully fund the Monthly Insurance Reserve Amount, Borrower shall deposit the balance from its own funds. Administrative Agent will apply the Monthly Insurance Reserve Amount to payments of Insurance Premiums required to be made by Borrower pursuant to this Agreement and under the Security Instrument. In making any payment relating to the Insurance Reserve Account, Administrative Agent may do so according to any xxxx, statement or estimate procured from the insurer or agent, without inquiry into the accuracy of such xxxx, statement or estimate or into the validity thereof until such time as Borrower shall notify Administrative Agent of a potential inaccuracy in any xxxx, statement or estimate or challenge the validity of such xxxx, statement or estimate. If the amount of funds in the Insurance Reserve Account shall exceed the amounts due for Insurance Premiums pursuant to this Agreement, Administrative Agent shall credit such excess against future payments to be made to the Insurance Reserve Account. If at any time Administrative Agent reasonably determines that the Insurance Reserve Amount is not or will not be sufficient to pay Insurance Premiums by the dates set forth above, Administrative Agent shall notify Borrower of such determination and Borrower shall increase its monthly payments to Administrative Agent by the amount that Administrative Agent reasonably estimates is sufficient to make up the deficiency at least thirty (30) days prior to expiration of the applicable Policies. Upon payment of such Insurance Premiums, Administrative Agent shall reassess the amount necessary to be deposited in the Insurance Reserve Account for the succeeding period, which calculation shall take into account any excess amounts remaining in the Insurance Reserve Account. Any Insurance Reserve Amount remaining on deposit in the Insurance Reserve Account upon the satisfaction in full of the Debt (exclusive of any indemnification or other obligations which are expressly stated in any of the Loan Documents to survive the satisfaction of the Note(s) in full) shall be disbursed to Borrower.

(b) Unless waived in writing by Administrative Agent, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default (other than an Event of Default described in clauses (a)(viii), (a)(ix), (a)(x) or (a)(xix) above), Administrative Agent may, without notice or demand, 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, take such action that Administrative Agent deems advisable to protect and enforce its rights against Borrower and in the Property, including (i) declaring immediately due and payable the entire principal amount of the Loan together with interest thereon and all other sums due by Borrower under the Loan Documents, (ii) collecting interest on the principal amount of the Loan at the Default Rate whether or not Administrative Agent elects to accelerate the Notes and (iii) enforcing or availing itself of any or all rights or remedies set forth in the Loan Documents against Borrower and the Property, including all rights or remedies available at law or in equity; and upon any Event of Default described in clauses (a)(viii), (a)(ix), (a)(x) or (a)(xix) 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. The foregoing provisions shall not be construed as a waiver by Administrative Agent of its right to pursue any other remedies available to it under this Agreement, the Pledge Agreement, the other Loan Documents or any other Loan Document. Any payment due hereunder may be enforced and recovered in whole or in part at such time by one or more of the remedies provided to Administrative Agent in the Loan Documents.
18.2 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 Administrative Agent and the Lenders 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 Administrative Agent 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 Administrative Agent 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 the Collateral. Any such actions taken by Administrative Agent shall be cumulative and concurrent and may be pursued independently, singly, successively, together or otherwise, at such time and in such order as Administrative Agent may determine in its sole discretion, to the fullest extent permitted by law, without impairing or otherwise affecting the other rights and remedies of Administrative Agent or the Lenders permitted by law, equity or contract or as set forth herein or in the other Loan Documents. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Borrower agrees that if an Event of Default is continuing (i) to the extent permitted by law, Administrative Agent and the Lenders shall not be subject to any one action or election of remedies law or rule, (ii) all liens and other rights, remedies or privileges provided to Administrative Agent and the Lenders shall remain in full force and effect until Administrative Agent has exhausted all of its remedies against the Collateral and the Pledge Agreement has been foreclosed, sold and/or otherwise realized upon in satisfaction of the Debt or the Debt has been paid in full; and (iii) Administrative Agent and the Lenders may, in their sole discretion, without impairing or otherwise affecting any other rights and remedies of Administrative Agent and the Lenders hereunder, at law or in equity, apply, ex parte, for the appointment of a custodian, trustee, receiver, keeper, liquidator or conservator of the Collateral or any part thereof, irrespective of the adequacy of the security for the Debt and without regard to the solvency of Borrower or of any Person liable for the payment of the Debt, to which appointment Borrower does hereby consent and such receiver or other official shall have all rights and powers permitted by applicable law and such other rights and powers as the court making such appointment may confer, but the appointment of such receiver or other official shall not impair or in any manner prejudice the rights of Administrative Agent and the Lenders with respect to the Collateral pursuant to this Agreement or any other Loan Document.
141
(b) Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, with respect to the Account Collateral, Administrative Agent may:
(i) without notice to Borrower, except as required by law, and at any time or from time to time, charge, set-off and otherwise apply all or any part of the Account Collateral against the Debt, Operating Expenses and/or Capital Expenditures for the Property or any part thereof;
(ii) in Administrative Agent’s sole discretion, at any time and from time to time, exercise any and all rights and remedies available to it under this Agreement, and/or as a secured party under the UCC;
(iii) demand, collect, take possession of or receipt for, settle, compromise, adjust, xxx for, foreclose or realize upon the Account Collateral (or any portion thereof) as Administrative Agent may determine in its sole discretion; and
(iv) take all other actions provided in, or contemplated by, this Agreement.
(c) With respect to Borrower, the Account Collateral, the Rate Cap Collateral and the Collateral, nothing contained herein or in any other Loan Document shall be construed as requiring Administrative Agent to resort to the Collateral for the satisfaction of any of the Debt, and Administrative Agent may seek satisfaction out of the Collateral or any part thereof, in its absolute discretion in respect of the Debt. In addition, Administrative Agent shall have the right from time to time to partially foreclose this Agreement and the Pledge Agreement in any manner and for any amounts secured by this Agreement or the Pledge Agreement then due and payable as determined by Administrative Agent in its sole discretion, including 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 or interest and such default constitutes an Event of Default, Administrative Agent may foreclose this Agreement and the Pledge Agreement to recover such delinquent payments, or (ii) in the event Administrative Agent elects to accelerate less than the entire outstanding principal balance of the Loan, Administrative Agent may foreclose this Agreement and the Pledge Agreement to recover so much of the principal balance of the Loan as Administrative Agent may accelerate and such other sums secured by this Agreement or the Security Instrument as Administrative Agent may elect. Notwithstanding one or more partial foreclosures, the Collateral shall remain subject to this Agreement and the Security Instrument to secure payment of sums secured by this Agreement and the Security Instrument and not previously recovered.
142
(d) Any amounts recovered from the Collateral or any other collateral for the Loan after an Event of Default may be applied by Administrative Agent toward the payment of any interest and/or principal of the Loan and/or any other amounts due under the Loan Documents in such order, priority and proportions as Administrative Agent determines.
18.3 Remedies Cumulative; Waivers. The rights, powers and remedies of Administrative Agent and the Lenders under this Agreement and the Pledge Agreement shall be cumulative and not exclusive of any other right, power or remedy which Administrative Agent may have against Borrower pursuant to this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, or existing at law or in equity or otherwise. Administrative Agent’s rights, powers and remedies may be pursued singly, concurrently or otherwise, at such time and in such order as Administrative Agent may determine in Administrative Agent’s sole discretion. No delay or omission to exercise any remedy, right or power accruing upon an Event of Default shall impair any such remedy, right or power or shall be construed as a waiver thereof, but any such remedy, right or power may be exercised from time to time and as often as may be deemed expedient. A waiver of one Default or Event of Default with respect to Borrower or Guarantor shall not be construed to be a waiver of any subsequent Default or Event of Default by Borrower or Guarantor or to impair any remedy, right or power consequent thereon.
18.4 Costs of Collection. If after and during the continuance of an Event of Default: (a) the Notes or any of the Loan Documents is placed in the hands of an attorney for collection or enforcement or is collected or enforced through any legal proceeding; (b) an attorney is retained to represent Administrative Agent in any bankruptcy, reorganization, receivership, or other proceedings affecting creditors’ rights and involving a claim under the Notes or any of the Loan Documents; or (c) an attorney is retained to protect or enforce the lien or any of the terms of this Agreement, the Pledge Agreement or any of the Loan Documents; then Borrower shall pay to Administrative Agent all reasonable attorney’s fees, out-of-pocket costs and expenses actually incurred in connection therewith, including costs of appeal, together with interest on any judgment obtained by Administrative Agent at the Default Rate.
143

(A) fraud or intentional misrepresentation in writing by Borrower, Mortgage Borrower, Hotel Lessee, Guarantor or any of the Borrower Group in connection with the Loan;

(H) Borrower’s, Hotel Lessee’s or Mortgage Borrower’s failure to obtain and maintain the fully paid for Policies in accordance with Section 8.1, except (i) as a result of the failure of any Lender to make an Advance for such payment of such Policies when required to have been made by the Lenders pursuant to this Agreement or (ii) during a Cash Management Event, to the extent Revenues are insufficient to pay same;
(I) Borrower’s, Hotel Lessee’s or Mortgage Borrower’s failure to pay all Impositions prior to the same becoming delinquent, except (i) as a result of the failure of any Lender to make an Advance for such payment of such Impositions when required to have been made by the Lenders pursuant to this Agreement or (ii) during a Cash Management Event, to the extent Revenues are insufficient to pay same;

Borrower shall not be entitled to any notices of any nature whatsoever from Administrative Agent except with respect to matters for which this Agreement or the other Loan Documents specifically and expressly provide for the giving of notice by Administrative Agent 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.

Any cost and expenses due and payable to Administrative Agent may be paid from any amounts in the Collection Account or the Cash Management Account.
(b) Borrower will protect, indemnify and save harmless Administrative Agent and the Lenders and all of their respective officers, directors, stockholders, members, partners, employees, agents, successors and assigns (collectively, the “Indemnified Parties”) from and against all actual liabilities, obligations, claims, actual damages, penalties, causes of action, out-of-pocket costs and expenses (including all reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses actually incurred) imposed upon or incurred by or asserted against the Indemnified Parties or the Property or any part of its interest therein, by reason of the occurrence or existence of any of the following (to the extent Proceeds payable on account of the following shall be inadequate; it being understood that in no event will the Indemnified Parties be required to actually pay or incur any costs or expenses as a condition to the effectiveness of the foregoing indemnity) prior to (i) the acceptance by Administrative Agent or its designee of an assignment-in-lieu of foreclosure with respect to the Collateral, or (ii) an Indemnified Party or its designee taking possession or control of the Collateral (and only during such period as Administrative Agent maintains such possession or control) or (iii) the foreclosure of the Pledge Agreement, except in all cases to the extent caused by the actual willful misconduct or gross negligence of the Indemnified Parties (other than such willful misconduct or gross negligence imputed to the Indemnified Parties because of their interest in the Collateral): (A) ownership of Borrower’s interest in the Collateral or Mortgage Borrower’s interest in the Property, or any interest therein, or receipt of any Revenues or other sum therefrom, (B) any accident, injury to or death of any persons or loss of or damage to property occurring on or about the Property, (C) any design, construction, operation, repair, maintenance, use, non-use or condition of the Property, including claims or penalties arising from violation of any Legal Requirement or Insurance Requirement, as well as any claim based on any patent or latent defect, whether or not discoverable by Administrative Agent, and any claim the insurance as to which is inadequate, (D) any Default under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, (E) any failure on the part of Mortgage Borrower to perform or comply with any of the terms of any Lease or Management Agreement within the applicable notice or grace periods, (F) any performance of any labor or services or the furnishing of any materials or other property in respect of the Property or any part thereof, (G) any negligence or tortious act or omission on the part of Borrower, Mortgage Borrower or any of their agents, contractors, servants, employees, sublessees, licensees or invitees, and (H) any contest referred to in Section 9.3 hereof. Any amounts the Indemnified Parties are legally entitled to receive under this Section 20.12 which are not paid within fifteen (15) Business Days after written demand therefor (the “Indemnification Date”) by the Indemnified Parties or Administrative Agent, setting forth in reasonable detail the amount of such demand and the basis therefor, shall bear interest from the date of demand at the Default Rate, and shall, together with such interest, be part of the Debt secured by the Pledge Agreement. In case any action, suit or proceeding is brought against the Indemnified Parties by reason of any such occurrence, Borrower shall at Borrower’s expense resist and defend such action, suit or proceeding or will cause the same to be resisted and defended by counsel at Borrower’s reasonable expense for the insurer of the liability or by counsel designated by Borrower (unless reasonably disapproved by Administrative Agent promptly after Administrative Agent has been notified of such counsel); provided, however, that nothing herein shall compromise the right of Administrative Agent (or any Indemnified Party) to appoint its own counsel at Borrower’s expense for its defense with respect to any action which in its reasonable opinion presents a conflict or potential conflict between Administrative Agent and Borrower that would make such separate representation advisable; provided, further, that if Administrative Agent shall have appointed separate counsel pursuant to the foregoing, Borrower shall not be responsible for the expense of additional separate counsel of any Indemnified Party unless there is an actual conflict of interest between such Indemnified Party, on the one hand, and Administrative Agent, on the other hand. As long as Borrower is resisting and defending such action, suit or proceeding as provided above in a prudent and commercially reasonable manner, Administrative Agent and the Indemnified Parties shall not be entitled to settle such action, suit or proceeding without Borrower’s consent which shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed; provided, however, that if Borrower is not diligently defending such action, suit or proceeding in a prudent and commercially reasonable manner as provided above, and Administrative Agent (or such Indemnified Party) has provided Borrower with thirty (30) days’ prior written notice, or shorter period if mandated by the requirements of applicable law, and opportunity to correct such determination, Administrative Agent or such Indemnified Party may settle such action, suit or proceeding and claim the benefit of this Section 20.12 with respect to settlement of such action, suit or proceeding without Borrower’s consent. Any Indemnified Party will give Borrower prompt notice after such Indemnified Party obtains actual knowledge of any potential claim by such Indemnified Party for indemnification hereunder. No Indemnified Party shall settle or compromise any action, proceeding or claim as to which it is indemnified hereunder without notice to Borrower.
153
(c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, or in any of the other Loan Documents, neither Borrower nor Guarantors shall be liable for punitive, exemplary, special or consequential damages in the nature of “lost profits” or “lot opportunities” or diminution in value (which diminution in value results solely from general market conditions); provided, however, Borrower and Guarantor acknowledge and agree that any of such damages actually payable by the Lenders or Administrative Agent to a third party shall be considered “actual damages” which are subject to indemnification hereunder.
20.13 Exhibits and Schedules Incorporated. The Exhibits and Schedules annexed hereto are hereby incorporated herein as a part of this Agreement with the same effect as if set forth in the body hereof.
20.14 Offsets, Counterclaims and Defenses. Any assignee of Administrative Agent’s interest in and to this Agreement, the Notes 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 or 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.
20.15 Liability of Assignees of Administrative Agent. No assignee of Administrative Agent shall have any personal liability, directly or indirectly, under or in connection with this Agreement or any other Loan Document or any amendment or amendments hereto made at any time or times, heretofore or hereafter, any different than the liability of Administrative Agent hereunder. In addition, no permitted assignee shall have at any time or times hereafter any personal liability, directly or indirectly, under or in connection with or secured by any agreement, lease, instrument, encumbrance, claim or right affecting or relating to the Property or to which the Property is now or hereafter subject any different than the liability of Administrative Agent hereunder. The limitation of liability provided in this Section 20.15 is (a) in addition to, and not in limitation of, any limitation of liability applicable to the permitted assignee provided by law or by any other contract, agreement or instrument, and (b) shall not apply to any assignee’s gross negligence or willful misconduct.

(b) This Agreement and the other Loan Documents are solely for the benefit of Administrative Agent, Borrower and Lenders and nothing contained in this Agreement or the other Loan Documents shall be deemed to confer upon anyone other than Administrative Agent, Lenders or Borrower any right to insist upon or to enforce the performance or observance of any of the obligations contained herein or therein.

20.18 Waiver of Marshaling of Assets. To the fullest extent permitted by law, Borrower, for itself and its successors and assigns, waives all rights to a marshaling of the assets of Borrower, Borrower’s members and others with interests in Borrower and of the Property, and agrees not to assert any right under any laws pertaining to the marshaling 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 Administrative Agent under the Loan Documents to a sale of the Property for the collection of all or any portion of the Debt without any prior or different resort for collection or of the right of Administrative Agent to the payment of the Debt out of the net proceeds of the Property in preference to every other claimant whatsoever.
20.19 Waiver of Counterclaim and other Actions. Borrower hereby expressly and unconditionally waives, in connection with any suit, action or proceeding brought by Administrative Agent on this Agreement, the Notes, the Pledge Agreement or any other Loan Document, any and every right it may have to (i) interpose any counterclaim therein (other than a counterclaim which can only be asserted in the suit, action or proceeding brought by Administrative Agent on this Agreement, the Notes, the Pledge Agreement or any other Loan Document and cannot be maintained in a separate action), provided that the foregoing shall not be deemed a waiver of Borrower’s right to assert a good faith defense that Borrower has complied with its obligations under the Loan Documents and (ii) have any such suit, action or proceeding consolidated with any other or separate suit, action or proceeding.
155
20.20 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 Administrative Agent or the Lenders or any parent, subsidiary or Affiliate of Administrative Agent or the Lenders. Administrative Agent 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 Administrative Agent 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 Administrative Agent’s exercise of any such rights or remedies. Borrower acknowledges that Administrative Agent and the Lenders engage 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 their Affiliates.
20.21 Brokers and Financial Advisors. Borrower and Administrative Agent each 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 acknowledges and agrees that it is solely responsible for the payment of any finder’s fees, concessions, commissions or similar fees owing to any Person claiming such compensation by or through Borrower. Borrower shall indemnify, defend and hold the Indemnified Parties harmless from and against any and all claims, liabilities, out-of-pocket costs and expenses of any kind (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses) in any way relating to or arising from a claim by any Person that such Person acted directly or indirectly, by or on behalf of Guarantor, Borrower or any Affiliate thereof or was retained directly or indirectly, by or on behalf of Guarantor, Borrower or any affiliate thereof, in connection with the transactions contemplated herein. The provisions of this Section 20.21 shall survive the expiration and termination of this Agreement and the payment of the Debt.
20.22 Prior Agreements. This Agreement and the other Loan Documents contain the entire agreement of the parties hereto with respect to the Loan and the transactions contemplated hereby, and all prior agreements among or between such parties, whether oral or written, are superseded by the terms of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and unless specifically set forth in a writing contemporaneous herewith the terms, conditions and provisions of any and all such prior agreements do not survive execution of this Agreement.
20.23 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in multiple counterparts, each of which shall constitute an original, but all of which shall constitute one document.
156
20.24 Limitation of Liability. No claim may be made by Borrower or any other Person against Administrative Agent or any Lender or the affiliates, directors, officers, employees, attorneys or agents of any of them for any consequential or punitive damages in respect of any claim for breach of contract or any other theory of liability arising out of or related to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or by the other Loan Documents, or any act, omission or event occurring in connection therewith; and Borrower hereby waives, releases and agrees not to xxx upon any claim for any such damages, whether or not accrued and whether or not known or suspected to exist in its favor.
20.25 Acquisition of Mortgage Loan.
(a) None of the Borrower Group shall acquire or agree to acquire the Mortgage Loan, or any portion thereof or any interest therein, or any direct or indirect ownership interest in the holder of any interest in the Mortgage Loan, by purchase, transfer, exchange or otherwise, unless such member of the Borrower Group acquires all (and not a part) of the Loan or extinguishes, satisfies and discharges the Mortgage Loan.
(b) Without obtaining the prior written consent of Administrative Agent, Borrower shall not cause or permit any of the Borrower Group to (i) amend, modify, consolidate, spread, restate, waive or terminate any of the Mortgage Loan Documents except, with respect to any termination or amendment, in accordance with their terms, or (ii) grant any additional collateral to, or incur any guaranty, indemnity or other obligation on account of the Mortgage Loan in favor of, the Mortgage Administrative Agent or Mortgage Lenders, except for collateral and guaranty, indemnity and other obligations as required pursuant to the Mortgage Loan Documents as in effect on the Closing Date.

21.1 Appointment and Authorization. Each Lender irrevocably appoints and authorizes Administrative Agent to take such action as Administrative Agent on its behalf and to exercise such powers under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents as are delegated to Administrative Agent by the terms hereof or thereof, together with all such powers as are reasonably incidental thereto.
21.2 Administrative Agent and Affiliates. Administrative Agent and its Affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to, and generally engage in any kind of business with Borrower or any Affiliate of Borrower as if it were not Administrative Agent hereunder.

Administrative Agent may consult with legal counsel, independent public accountants and other experts selected by it and shall not be liable for any action taken or omitted to be taken by it in good faith in accordance with the advice of such counsel, accountants or experts.
157
21.5 Liability of Administrative Agent. Neither Administrative Agent nor any of its affiliates nor any of their respective directors, officers, agents or employees shall be liable to any Lender for any action taken or not taken by it in connection herewith (a) with the consent or at the request of the Required Lenders or, where required by the terms of this Agreement, all of the Lenders, or (b) in the absence of its own gross negligence or willful misconduct. Neither Administrative Agent nor any of its directors, officers, agents or employees shall be responsible for or have any duty to ascertain, inquire into or verify (i) any statement, warranty or representation made in connection with this Agreement or any borrowing hereunder; (ii) the performance or observance of any of the covenants or agreements of Borrower; (iii) the satisfaction of any condition specified in Articles III or IV, except receipt of items delivered to Administrative Agent; or (iv) the validity, effectiveness or genuineness of this Agreement, the other Loan Documents or any other instrument or writing furnished in connection herewith.

21.6 Indemnification. Each Lender shall, ratably in accordance with its Commitment, indemnify Administrative Agent, its affiliates and their respective directors, officers, agents and employees (to the extent not reimbursed by Borrower) against any cost, expense (including counsel fees and disbursements), claim, demand, action, loss or liability (except such as result from such indemnitees’ gross negligence or willful misconduct) that such indemnitees may suffer or incur in connection with this Agreement, the other Loan Documents or any action taken or omitted by such indemnitees hereunder.
21.7 Credit Decision. Each Lender acknowledges that it has, independently and without reliance upon Administrative Agent or any other Lender, and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own credit analysis and decision to enter into this Agreement.

21.8 Successor Administrative Agent. Administrative Agent may resign at any time by giving notice thereof to the Lenders and Borrower. Upon any such resignation, the Required Lenders shall have the right to appoint a successor Administrative Agent.

Upon the acceptance of its appointment as Administrative Agent hereunder by a successor Administrative Agent, such successor Administrative Agent shall thereupon succeed to and become vested with all the rights and duties of the retiring Administrative Agent, and the retiring Administrative Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder first accruing or arising after the effective date of such retirement. After any retiring Administrative Agent’s resignation hereunder as Administrative Agent, the provisions of this Article shall inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was Administrative Agent. At all times during the term of the Loan, the Loan shall be administered by a single administrative agent and, if a Servicer is engaged, by a single Servicer.
158
21.9 Copies of Notices. Administrative Agent shall deliver to each Lender a copy of any notice sent to Borrower by Administrative Agent in connection with the performance of its duties as Administrative Agent hereunder.
21.10 Intercreditor Agreement.
(a) Each Lender hereby authorizes and instructs Administrative Agent to enter into, exercise its rights under, and perform its obligations under the Intercreditor Agreement. Each Lender hereby assumes, ratifies, undertakes and makes, for the benefit of all Persons who are parties to or intended beneficiaries of the Intercreditor Agreement, all of the covenants, representations and warranties (without regard to any limitations which limit such representations and warranties to the knowledge of Administrative Agent) that are made for or on behalf of such Lender as a “Mezzanine Lender” (as such term is defined in the Intercreditor Agreement) in the Intercreditor Agreement, each of which shall be the direct, personal covenants and representations of such Lender, and hereby certifies and confirms as of the date on which such Lender becomes a party to this Agreement that all representations and warranties that are made for or on behalf of such Lender as a “Mezzanine Lender” in the Intercreditor Agreement are true and correct. Each Lender hereby releases Administrative Agent from any obligation or liability whatsoever with respect to the performance of any such covenants, representations or warranties that are made for or on behalf of such Lender as a “Mezzanine Lender” in the Intercreditor Agreement, and indemnifies and holds harmless Administrative Agent from and against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind and nature whatsoever that may be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against Administrative Agent in any way relating to or arising out of any such covenants, representations or warranties that are made for or on behalf of such Lender as a “Mezzanine Lender” in the Intercreditor Agreement or by reason of the failure or any such representations and warranties that are made for or on behalf of such Lender as a “Mezzanine Lender” in the Intercreditor Agreement to be true and correct, provided, however, that no Lender shall be liable for such indemnification to the extent that such liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements have resulted from either (i) an amendment to the covenants, representations or warranties of the “Mezzanine Lenders” in the Intercreditor Agreement to which such Lender did not consent, or (ii) the gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct of any Administrative Agent-related Person. Each Lender acknowledges and agrees that its right to transfer its interest in the Loan is further restricted by, and subject to the terms and provisions of, the Intercreditor Agreement and that no Lender shall transfer or pledge any portion of its respective interest in the Loan to Borrower, Hotel Lessee, Mortgage Borrower or any of their respective “Affiliates” (as such term is defined in the Intercreditor Agreement) in violation of the Intercreditor Agreement. Each of Mortgage Administrative Agent and each Mortgage Lender is an intended third-party beneficiary of the provisions of this Section 21.10(a).
159
(b) Each Lender agrees that all of the rights, benefits, immunities, indemnities, exculpations and other provisions set forth in this Article XXI shall apply to the Intercreditor Agreement, and to Administrative Agent in connection with its exercise its rights, and performance of its obligations, thereunder as if the Intercreditor Agreement were a “Loan Document” for all purposes of this Article XXI.
21.11 Modifications to Section 16.1 and Article XXI. Borrower acknowledges and agrees that the provisions of this Article XXI and Section 16.1 are intended to govern the relationship among the Lenders and Administrative Agent and the provisions of this Article XXI (other than the last sentence of Section 21.8) and Section 16.1 may accordingly be modified or amended without Borrower’s consent, written or otherwise provided such modifications or amendments shall not increase Borrower’s obligations and liabilities or decrease Borrower’s rights under the Loan Documents other than to a de minimis extent.
21.12 Mortgage Loan Matters.
(a) Notices. Borrower shall deliver to Administrative Agent, promptly after the receipt or delivery, a copy of any notice of default received or sent by Mortgage Borrower or Hotel Lessee with respect to the Mortgage Loan, and of any other material written correspondence (including electronically transmitted items) given or received by Mortgage Borrower, Hotel Lessee or Guarantor to or from the Mortgage Administrative Agent or its agents.
(b) Independent Approval Rights. If any action, proposed action or other decision is consented to or approved by Mortgage Administrative Agent, such consent or approval shall not be binding or controlling on Administrative Agent. Borrower hereby acknowledges and agrees that (i) the risks of Mortgage Lenders in making the Mortgage Loan are different from the risks of Lenders in making the Loan, (ii) in determining whether to grant, deny, withhold or condition any requested consent or approval, Mortgage Lender and Lender may reasonably reach different conclusions, and (iii) Administrative Agent has an absolute independent right to grant, deny, withhold or condition any requested consent or approval based on its own point of view, but subject to the standards of consent set forth herein. Furthermore, the denial by Administrative Agent of a requested consent or approval shall not create any liability or other obligation of Administrative Agent if the denial of such consent or approval results directly or indirectly in a default under the Mortgage Loan Documents, and Borrower hereby waives any claim of liability against Administrative Agent arising from any such denial unless Administrative Agent has not complied with any applicable standard for consent. The rights described above may be exercised by any entity which owns and controls, directly or indirectly, substantially all of the interests in Administrative Agent.
(c) Intercreditor Agreement. Borrower hereby acknowledges and agrees that any intercreditor agreement entered into between Administrative Agent and Mortgage Administrative Agent will be solely for the benefit of Administrative Agent and Mezzanine Administrative Agent, and that neither Borrower, Hotel Lessee nor Mortgage Borrower shall be third-party beneficiaries (intended or otherwise) of any of the provisions therein, have any rights thereunder, or be entitled to rely on any of the provisions contained therein. Administrative Agent and Mortgage Administrative Agent have no obligation to disclose to Borrower, Hotel Lessee or Mortgage Borrower the contents of any such intercreditor agreement. Borrower’s obligations hereunder are and will be independent of any such intercreditor agreement and shall remain unmodified by the terms and provisions thereof. In the event that (i) the Mortgage Loan is in default (or the receipt by Administrative Agent of a payment would cause the Mortgage Loan to be in default or would be in breach of any intercreditor agreement between Administrative Agent and Mortgage Administrative Agent), (ii) Administrative Agent is required pursuant to the terms of any intercreditor agreement between Administrative Agent and Mortgage Administrative Agent to pay over to Mortgage Administrative Agent any payment or distribution of assets, whether in cash, property or securities which is applied to the Debt, including any proceeds of the Property or any other collateral for the Debt previously received by Administrative Agent on account of the Loan, (iii) Administrative Agent has actually paid over such amounts to Mortgage Administrative Agent, and (iv) Administrative Agent has not received such amounts in return, then Borrower agrees to indemnify Administrative Agent for any amounts so paid, and any amount so paid shall continue to be owing pursuant to the Loan Documents as part of the Debt notwithstanding the prior receipt of such payment by Administrative Agent.
160
(d) Refinancing or Prepayment of the Mortgage Loan. Except as expressly permitted hereunder, Borrower shall not make or permit to be made any partial or full prepayment of amounts owing under the Mortgage Loan or any refinancing of the Mortgage Loan without the prior written consent of Administrative Agent (other than in connection with a prepayment of the Mortgage Loan expressly permitted pursuant to this Agreement and the Mortgage Loan Agreement).
(e) Compliance with Mortgage Loan Documents. Borrower shall cause Mortgage Borrower and Hotel Lessee to: (i) diligently perform and observe all of the terms, covenants and conditions of the Mortgage Loan Documents on the part of Mortgage Borrower and Hotel Lessee to be performed and observed within any applicable notice and cure periods under the Mortgage Loan Documents; (ii) not enter into or be bound by any Mortgage Loan Documents after the date hereof, agree to any material modifications, consolidation, restatement, or waiver of any existing Mortgage Loan Documents, grant to Mortgage Administrative Agent any consent or waiver, or exercise any remedy available to Mortgage Borrower or Hotel Lessee under the Mortgage Loan Documents or any right or election under the Mortgage Loan Documents, in each case without the prior written approval of Administrative Agent; and (iii) provide Administrative Agent with a copy of any amendment or modification of, or waiver or consent granted under, the Mortgage Loan Documents within five (5) Business Days after its receipt thereof.
(f) Mortgage Loan Defaults. If any default occurs under the Mortgage Loan Documents beyond applicable notice and cure periods, Borrower agrees that Administrative Agent shall have the immediate right to (but shall be under no obligation to), without prior notice to Borrower: (i) pay all or any part of the Mortgage Loan and any other sums that are then due and payable, and perform any act or take any action on behalf of Borrower, Hotel Lessee and/or Mortgage Borrower as may be appropriate, to cause all of the terms, covenants and conditions of the Mortgage Loan Documents on the part of Mortgage Borrower or Hotel Lessee to be performed or observed thereunder to be promptly performed or observed; and (ii) pay any other amounts and take any other action as Administrative Agent, in its sole and absolute discretion, shall deem advisable to protect or preserve the rights and interests of Administrative Agent in the Loan and/or the Collateral. Borrower shall not impede, interfere with, hinder or delay, and shall not permit Mortgage Borrower or Hotel Lessee to impede, interfere with, hinder or delay, any effort or action on the part of Administrative Agent to cure any default or asserted default under the Mortgage Loan, or to otherwise protect or preserve Administrative Agent’s interests in the Loan and the Collateral following a default or asserted default under the Mortgage Loan. Borrower hereby grants Administrative Agent and its designees the right to enter upon the Property at any time while an Event of Default exists, or the assertion by Mortgage Administrative Agent that an Event of Default has occurred, under the Mortgage Loan Documents, for the purpose of taking any such action or to appear in, defend or bring any action or proceeding to protect Administrative Agent’s interest. Administrative Agent may take such action as Administrative Agent deems necessary to carry out the intents and purposes of this Section 21.12 (including communicating with Mortgage Administrative Agent with respect to any Mortgage Loan defaults), without prior notice to, or consent from, Borrower, Hotel Lessee or Mortgage Borrower. Administrative Agent shall have no obligation to complete any cure or attempted cure undertaken or commenced by Administrative Agent. All sums so paid and the costs and expenses incurred by Lender in exercising rights under this Section 21.12 (including its reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs) (A) shall be added to the Debt, (B) shall bear interest at the Default Rate for the period from the date that such costs or expenses were incurred to the date of payment to Administrative Agent, and (C) shall be secured by the Pledge Agreement. Borrower hereby indemnifies Administrative Agent from and against all Losses of any kind or nature whatsoever which may be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against Administrative Agent or Lenders as a result of the foregoing actions, excluding such Losses arising from the willful misconduct or illegal acts of Administrative Agent or any Lender. In the event that Administrative Agent makes any payment in respect of the Mortgage Loan, Administrative Agent shall be subrogated to all of the rights of Mortgage Administrative Agent under the Mortgage Loan Documents against the Property, in addition to all other rights it may have under the Loan Documents. If Administrative Agent shall receive a copy of any notice of default under the Mortgage Loan Documents sent by Mortgage Administrative Agent, such notice shall constitute full protection to Lender for any action taken or omitted to be taken by Administrative Agent, in good faith, in reliance thereon. As a material inducement to Lenders’ making the Loan, Borrower hereby absolutely and unconditionally releases and waives all claims against Administrative Agent and each Lender arising out of Administrative Agent’s or any Lender’s exercise of its rights and remedies provided in this Section 5.2.11, except for Administrative Agent’s or any Lender’s willful misconduct or illegal acts.
161
(g) Material Contracts. Borrower shall not, and shall not cause or permit any SPE Constituent Entity, Hotel Lessee, Mortgage Borrower, or Mortgage Borrower SPE Constituent Entity to, without Lender’s prior written consent, enter into, modify, surrender, terminate, or waive any provision of, any Material Contracts to which it is a party. Any request for approval of a proposed Material Contract (or material modification to any Material Contract) shall be made to Administrative Agent in writing and shall include a legend prominently displayed at the top of the first page thereof in solid capital letters and in bold type face of a font size not less than fourteen (14) as follows: “FIRST NOTICE: THIS IS A REQUEST FOR APPROVAL WHICH REQUIRES A RESPONSE WITHIN FOUR (4) BUSINESS DAYS AFTER YOUR RECEIPT.” If Administrative shall have failed to approve or disapprove any such first written request for approval delivered in accordance with this Section 21.12(g) within FOUR (4) Business Days after the Administrative Agent’s receipt of such request, then Borrower may deliver to the Administrative Agent a second copy of such initial request for approval, which shall include a legend prominently displayed at the top of the first page thereof in solid capital letters and in bold type face of a font size not less than fourteen (14) as follows: “WARNING: THIS IS BORROWER’S SECOND AND FINAL REQUEST. IF YOU FAIL TO EXPRESSLY GRANT OR DENY THIS REQUEST FOR APPROVAL IN WRITING WITHIN TWO (2) BUSINESS DAYS AFTER YOUR RECEIPT, YOU WILL BE DEEMED TO HAVE APPROVED THIS REQUEST.” In the event that the Administrative Agent shall have failed to approve or disapprove such second request within two (2) Business Days after the Administrative Agent’s receipt of such second request, then such request shall be deemed to have been approved by the Administrative Agent.
(h) Title Insurance Policy. Borrower covenants, subject to the Mortgage Administrative Agent’s rights under the Mortgage Loan, to remit (or cause the Mortgage Borrower to remit) to Administrative Agent all title insurance proceeds paid by the title insurance company under the Owner’s Title Policy, provided, in no event shall the sums paid to Administrative Agent exceed the amount of the Debt prior to the acquisition by Administrative Agent of some or all of the Collateral.
(i) Mortgage Loan Estoppels. Borrower shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause Mortgage Borrower and Hotel Lessee to, from time to time (but not more often than once in any twelve (12) month period (unless such request is made in connection with a Secondary Market Transaction or during the existence of an Event of Default, in which case such limitation shall not apply), obtain from Mortgage Administrative Agent such certificates of estoppel with respect to compliance by Mortgage Borrower and Hotel Lessee with the terms of the Mortgage Loan Documents as may be requested by Lender (provided that Borrower shall have no liability, and no Event of Default shall arise, for failing to obtain such estoppel so long as Borrower has used commercially efforts to obtain the same).
(j) Acquisition of the Mortgage Loan. None of Borrower, Hotel Lessee, Mortgage Borrower, Guarantor, or any Affiliate of any of the foregoing shall acquire or agree to acquire the Mortgage Loan, or any portion thereof or any interest therein, or any direct or indirect ownership interest in the holder of the Mortgage Loan, via purchase, transfer, exchange, operation of law, or otherwise. If, solely by operation of applicable subrogation law, Borrower, Hotel Lessee, Mortgage Borrower, Guarantor, or any Affiliate of any of the foregoing shall have failed to comply with the foregoing, then Borrower shall (i) immediately notify Lender of such failure, and (ii) cause any and all such prohibited parties acquiring any interest in the Mortgage Loan to (A) discontinue and terminate any enforcement proceeding(s) under the Mortgage Loan Documents, and (B) without limiting the foregoing, pay over to Administrative Agent any and all Revenues or other payments or proceeds received on account of the Mortgage Loan or the exercise of any rights or remedies with respect thereto.
(k) Deed in Lieu of Foreclosure. Without the express prior written consent of Administrative Agent, Borrower shall not, and Borrower shall not cause, suffer or permit Mortgage Borrower or Hotel Lessee to, enter into, execute, deliver, or consent to, as the case may be, any deed-in-lieu or other consensual foreclosure with or for the benefit of Mortgage Administrative Agent or any other Person.
162
(l) Distributions. On each date on which amounts are due and payable to Administrative Agent pursuant to the Loan Documents and/or are required to be disbursed to Administrative Agent pursuant to the terms of the Mortgage Loan Documents, Borrower shall exercise its rights under the organizational documents of Mortgage Borrower to cause Mortgage Borrower to make a distribution of funds to Borrower in an amount sufficient to allow Borrower to make such required payment to Administrative Agent, but only to the extent there is Net Operating Income derived from the operation of the Property after the payment of all amounts payable with respect to the Mortgage Loan and Capital Expenditures that is made available to Borrower (and not trapped by Administrative Agent or Mortgage Administrative Agent) is sufficient to do so (provided that the foregoing is not intended to limit any of Borrower’s obligations under this Agreement or the other Loan Documents). During the existence of an Event of Default, Borrower shall not, and shall not cause Mortgage Borrower to, make any distributions of any kind, returns of capital, or repayment of any loans (in each case whether in cash, assets, Equity Interests, or proceeds of any kind) to any Person that owns any direct or indirect Equity Interest in Borrower.
(m) Discussions with Mortgage Administrative Agent and Manager. In connection with the exercise of its rights set forth in the Loan Documents, Administrative Agent shall have the right at any time to discuss the Property, the Mortgage Loan, the Loan, and any other matter directly with Mortgage Administrative Agent and any property manager (including Manager) and their respective consultants, agents or representatives, as applicable, without notice to or permission from Borrower, nor shall Administrative Agent have any obligation to disclose such discussions or the contents thereof to Borrower or any other Person.
