Any additional cash or liquid collateral deposited by Borrowers hereunder in order to achieve the required Loan-to-Value Ratio for the Facility and cure any existing default with respect thereto will be held by Lender in a standard custodial account and shall constitute additional collateral for the obligations related to the Loan and an “Account” as defined in this Agreement, and, upon the occurrence of and during the continuance of an Event of Default, may be applied by Lender, in such order and manner as Lender may elect, to the reduction of the obligations related to the Loan. Borrowers shall not be entitled to any interest earned on such additional collateral. Provided that there is no outstanding Default or Event of Default, such additional collateral which has not been applied to the Loan Obligations will be released by Lender at such time as Borrowers provide Lender with evidence that the required Loan-to-Value Ratio set forth above has been achieved and maintained (without regard to any cash or liquid collateral deposited pursuant to this section) for two (2) consecutive fiscal quarters.

MISCELLANEOUS
7.1 Waiver. No remedy conferred upon, or reserved to, the Lender in this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents is intended to be exclusive of any other remedy or remedies, and each and every remedy shall be cumulative and shall be in addition to every other remedy given hereunder or now or hereafter existing in law or in equity. Exercise of or omission to exercise any right of the Lender shall not affect any subsequent right of Lender to exercise the same.

No waiver of any Default under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents shall extend to or shall affect any subsequent or other then existing Default or shall impair any rights, remedies or powers of Lender.
7.2 Costs and Expenses. Borrowers will bear all taxes, fees, charges and expenses, including, but not limited to, in connection with the Loan, the Note, the preparation and servicing of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents (including any amendments hereafter made), and in connection with any modifications thereto after the Closing Date, the recording or re-recording of any of the Loan Documents, surveillance of the Borrowers’ operations and evaluation of Lender’s, Borrowers’, or any Guarantor’s respective rights, obligations, actions or in-actions under the Loan Documents, including, any waivers or consents, all (a) out of pocket expenses of Borrowers and Lender; (b) recording fees, recording taxes, intangibles taxes, documentary taxes or similar taxes; (c) title insurance premiums, (d) costs of third party reports, including, but not limited to, environmental, engineering, appraisal, survey, title report, lien search, inspections, drawing of papers, architects, and Engineers expenses and charges; (e) attorneys’ fees of the Lender’s counsel; (f) fees and expenses of consultants and advisors of Lender, including financial advisors; and (g) expenses related to the employment of watchmen to protect the Property from injury in the event that after request Borrowers do not provide such protection, the amount of which taxes, fees, charges and expenses shall constitute additional Loan Obligations of Borrowers to Lender payable on demand of Lender. If, at any time, a Default occurs or Lender becomes a party to any suit or proceeding in order to protect its interests or priority in any collateral for any of the Loan Obligations or its rights under this Agreement or any of the Loan Documents, or if Lender is made a party to any suit or proceeding by virtue of the Loan, this Agreement or any Collateral and as a result of any of the foregoing, Lender employs or engages counsel, consultants or other advisors to advise, consult or provide other representation with respect to the Loan Documents, or to collect the balance of the Loan Obligations, or to take any action in or with respect to any suit or proceeding relating to this Agreement, any of the other Loan Documents, any Collateral, Borrowers or any Guarantor or operator, or to protect, collect, or liquidate any of the security for the Loan Obligations, or attempt to enforce any security interest or lien granted to Lender by any of the Loan Documents, then in any such events, all of the reasonable attorney’s fees, consultant fees, or other advisor fees arising from such services, including any fees for preparation of litigation and in any appellate or bankruptcy proceedings, and any expenses, costs and charges relating thereto shall constitute additional Loan Obligations of Borrowers to Lender payable on demand of Lender.

7.8 Benefits. All of the terms and provisions of this Agreement shall bind and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns. No Person other than Borrowers or Lender shall be entitled to rely upon this Agreement or be entitled to the benefits of this Agreement.
7.9 Participation. Borrowers acknowledge that Lender may, at its option, sell participation interests in the Loan or to other participating banks or Lender may (but shall not be obligated to) assign its interest in the Loan to its affiliates, or to other assignees (the “Assignee”). Borrowers agree with each present and future participant in the Loan or Assignee of the Loan that if an Event of Default should occur, each present and future participant or Assignee shall have all of the rights and remedies of Lender with respect to any deposit due from Borrowers. The execution by a participant of a participation agreement with Lender, and the execution by Borrowers of this Agreement, regardless of the order of execution, shall evidence an agreement between Borrowers and said participant in accordance with the terms of this Section 7.9.
7.10 Supersedes Prior Agreements; Counterparts. This Agreement and the instruments referred to herein supersede and incorporate all representations, promises, and statements, oral or written, made by Lender in connection with the Loan. This Agreement may not be varied, altered, or amended except by a written instrument executed by an authorized officer of the Lender. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which, when executed and delivered, shall be an original, but such counterparts shall together constitute one and the same instrument.
7.11 Loan Agreement Governs. The Loan is governed by terms and provisions set forth in this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and in the event of any irreconcilable conflict between the terms of the other Loan Documents and the terms of this Agreement, the terms of this Agreement shall control; provided, however, in the event there is any apparent conflict between any particular term or provision which appears in both this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and it is possible and reasonable for the terms of both this Agreement and the Loan Documents to be performed or complied with then notwithstanding the foregoing both the terms of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall be performed and complied with.
7.12 Construction of Provisions of this Agreement. Lender has not agreed to make any loan other than that specifically described herein. All requirements herein shall be deemed material to Lender. Except as specified herein, all conditions and requirements must be satisfied by Borrowers prior to the Closing Date. Whenever any of the Loan Documents refers to a matter being “satisfactory” to Lender, subject to Lender’s “approval” or “consent,” at Lender’s “option,” at Lender’s “determination,” “required” by Lender, may be “granted” or “denied” at Lender’s “request,” as Lender shall “deem necessary,” or similar terminology, it is deemed that each of the aforesaid shall be in the sole discretion of the Lender (except as otherwise expressly provided), and if any term or condition requires Lender’s approval, consent, or satisfaction (the “Lender’s Approval”), the Lender’s Approval shall not be implied, but shall be evidenced only by a written notice from Lender specifically addressed to the particular requirement or condition and expressing Lender’s Approval. If “Borrower” or “Guarantor” consists of more than one Person, all obligations of Borrowers or Guarantors are joint and several and all references herein to “Borrower” or “Guarantor” shall apply both individually to each Person and in the alternative to all of them collectively, whether or not so stated.
7.13 Advertising. Borrowers acknowledge and agree that Lender is authorized to state in advertising or other press releases the fact that the type and amount of financing contemplated under the Loan Documents has been provided to Borrowers and Guarantor for the Facility by Lender. Lender agrees not to include any confidential information of the Borrowers or any Guarantor in such advertisements.
7.14 CONTROLLING LAW. THE PARTIES HERETO AGREE THAT THE VALIDITY, INTERPRETATION, ENFORCEMENT AND EFFECT OF THIS AGREEMENT AND THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW JERSEY AND THE PARTIES HERETO SUBMIT (AND WAIVE ALL RIGHTS TO OBJECT) TO NON-EXCLUSIVE PERSONAL JURISDICTION IN THE STATE OF NEW JERSEY, FOR THE ENFORCEMENT OF ANY AND ALL OBLIGATIONS UNDER THIS AGREEMENT AND THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS EXCEPT THAT IF ANY SUCH ACTION OR PROCEEDING ARISES UNDER THE CONSTITUTION, LAWS OR TREATIES OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, OR IF THERE IS A DIVERSITY OF CITIZENSHIP BETWEEN THE PARTIES THERETO, SO THAT IT IS TO BE BROUGHT IN A UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT, IT SHALL BE BROUGHT IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT FOR THE DISTRICT OF NEW JERSEY OVER SHREWSBURY, NEW JERSEY OR ANY SUCCESSOR FEDERAL COURT HAVING ORIGINAL JURISDICTION.
7.15 WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. EACH BORROWER HEREBY WAIVES ANY RIGHT THAT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY ON ANY CLAIM, COUNTERCLAIM, SETOFF, DEMAND, ACTION OR CAUSE OF ACTION (A) ARISING OUT OF OR IN ANY WAY RELATED TO THIS AGREEMENT, THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS OR THE LOAN, OR (B) IN ANY WAY CONNECTED WITH OR PERTAINING OR RELATED TO OR INCIDENTAL TO ANY DEALINGS OF LENDER AND/OR BORROWERS WITH RESPECT TO THE LOAN DOCUMENTS OR IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT OR THE EXERCISE OF ANY PARTY’S RIGHTS AND REMEDIES UNDER THIS AGREEMENT OR OTHERWISE, OR THE CONDUCT OR THE RELATIONSHIP OF THE PARTIES HERETO, IN ALL OF THE FOREGOING CASES WHETHER NOW EXISTING OR HEREAFTER ARISING AND WHETHER SOUNDING IN CONTRACT, TORT OR OTHERWISE. EACH BORROWER AGREES THAT LENDER MAY FILE A COPY OF THIS AGREEMENT AND WILL BE ABLE TO FILE A COPY OF ALL LOAN DOCUMENTS WITH ANY COURT AS WRITTEN EVIDENCE OF THE KNOWING, VOLUNTARY, AND BARGAINED AGREEMENT OF EACH BORROWER IRREVOCABLY TO WAIVE ITS RIGHTS TO TRIAL BY JURY AS AN INDUCEMENT OF LENDER TO MAKE THE LOAN, AND THAT, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY DISPUTE OR CONTROVERSY WHATSOEVER (WHETHER OR NOT MODIFIED HEREIN) BETWEEN BORROWERS AND LENDER SHALL INSTEAD BE TRIED IN A COURT OF COMPETENT JURISDICTION BY A JUDGE SITTING WITHOUT A JURY.
7.16 Joint and Several Obligations. All obligations of Borrowers hereunder are joint and several. All obligations of each Guarantor under the Loan Documents are joint and several. The use of the phrases “either Borrower” or “each Borrower” or “any Guarantor” in some sentences herein is for clarity only; the failure to use such phrases elsewhere shall not alter the fact that each reference to either Borrower and any Guarantor hereunder is intended to mean each party included within such defined term, both jointly and severally.
7.17 Time is of the Essence. Time is of the essence of the Loan Documents and of each provision hereof.
7.18 Seniority; Subordination. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, the indebtedness, rights, remedies and obligations evidenced hereby are senior and/or subordinate, if at all, in the manner and to the extent set forth in the Subordination and Standstill Agreement and each signatory hereto shall be bound by the provisions of the Subordination and Standstill Agreement.
