Section 2.2. The Loan. Subject to and upon the terms and conditions set forth herein, Lender hereby agrees to make and Borrower hereby agrees to accept the Loan on the Closing Date.
Section 2.3. Disbursement to Borrower. Borrower may request and receive only one borrowing hereunder in respect of the Loan and any amount borrowed and repaid hereunder in respect of the Loan may not be re-borrowed.

-43-
Section 2.5. Interest Rate.
(a) Generally. Interest on the outstanding principal balance of each Note shall accrue from the Closing Date at the Interest Rate until repaid in accordance with the applicable terms and conditions hereof.
(b) Determination of Interest Rate.
(i) The Interest Rate with respect to the Floating Rate Component shall be: (A) the Adjusted LIBOR Rate plus the LIBOR Spread with respect to the applicable Interest Accrual Period for a LIBOR Loan or (B) the Prime Rate plus the Prime Rate Spread for a Prime Rate Loan if the Floating Rate Component is converted to a Prime Rate Loan pursuant to the provisions hereof. Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, in no event shall Borrower have the right to convert a LIBOR Loan to a Prime Rate Loan.
(ii) Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, the Floating Rate Component shall be a LIBOR Loan and Borrower shall pay interest on the outstanding principal amount of the Floating Rate Component at the Interest Rate specified in Section 2.5(b)(i) for the applicable Interest Accrual Period. Any change in the rate of interest hereunder due to a change in the Interest Rate shall become effective as of the opening of business on the first day on which such change in the Interest Rate shall become effective. Each determination by Lender of the Interest Rate shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error.
(iii) In the event that Lender shall have determined that by reason of circumstances affecting the interbank Eurodollar market, adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining LIBOR, then Lender shall forthwith give notice by telephone of such determination, confirmed in writing, to Borrower at least one (1) day prior to the last day of the related Interest Accrual Period. If such notice is given, the related outstanding LIBOR Loan shall be converted, on the last day of the then current Interest Accrual Period, to a Prime Rate Loan. From and after a Securitization, Lender shall only convert the Loan from a LIBOR Loan to a Prime Rate Loan if the first sentence of this clause (iii) applies and if the Servicer with respect to the Loan has converted floating rate loans serviced by Servicer and substantially similar to the Loan from loans bearing interest at a LIBOR rate to loans bearing interest at the Prime Rate.
(iv) If, pursuant to the terms hereof, any portion of the Floating Rate Component has been converted to a Prime Rate Loan and Lender shall determine (which determination shall be conclusive and binding upon Borrower absent manifest error) that the event(s) or circumstance(s) which resulted in such conversion shall no longer be applicable, Lender shall give notice by telephone of such determination, confirmed in writing, to Borrower at least one (1) day prior to the last day of the related Interest Accrual Period. If such notice is given, the related outstanding Prime Rate Loan shall be converted to a LIBOR Loan on the last day of the then current Interest Accrual Period.
(v) Intentionally Omitted.
-44-
(vi) If any requirement of law or any change therein or in the interpretation or application thereof, in each case, effected after the date hereof, shall hereafter make it unlawful for Lender to make or maintain a LIBOR Loan as contemplated hereunder then (A) the obligation of Lender hereunder to make a LIBOR Loan or to convert a Prime Rate Loan to a LIBOR Loan shall be canceled forthwith and (B) any outstanding LIBOR Loan shall be converted automatically to a Prime Rate Loan on the last day of the then current Interest Accrual Period or within such earlier period as required by law. Borrower hereby agrees to promptly pay to Lender, upon demand, any additional amounts necessary to compensate Lender for any reasonable costs incurred by Lender in making any conversion in accordance with this Agreement, including, without limitation, any interest or fees payable by Lender to lenders of funds obtained by it in order to make or maintain the LIBOR Loan hereunder in each case if applicable and without duplication of any other amount payable by Borrower hereunder. Lender’s notice of such costs, as certified to Borrower, shall be conclusive absent manifest error.
(vii) In the event that any change in any requirement of law or in the interpretation or application thereof, or compliance by Lender with any request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) hereafter issued from any central bank or other Governmental Authority:
(A) shall hereafter impose, modify or hold applicable any reserve, capital adequacy, special deposit, compulsory loan or similar requirement against assets held by, or deposits or other liabilities in or for the account of, advances or loans by, or other credit extended by, or any other acquisition of funds by, any office of Lender which is not otherwise included in the determination of LIBOR hereunder;
(B) shall hereafter have the effect of reducing the rate of return on Lender’s capital as a consequence of its obligations hereunder to a level below that which Lender could have achieved but for such adoption, change or compliance (taking into consideration Lender’s policies with respect to capital adequacy) by any amount deemed by Lender to be material;
(C) shall hereafter impose on Lender any other condition and the result of any of the foregoing is to increase the cost to Lender of making, renewing or maintaining loans or extensions of credit or to reduce any amount receivable hereunder;
(D) shall hereafter subject Lender to any Section 2.13 Taxes (other than (i) Indemnified Taxes, (ii) Section 2.13 Taxes described in clauses (b) through (d) of the definition of Excluded Taxes and (iii) Connection Income Taxes) on its loans, loan principal, letters of credit, commitments, or other obligations, or its deposits, reserves, other liabilities or capital attributable thereto; or
(E) shall hereafter impose on Lender any other condition;
-45-
and the result of any of the foregoing is to increase the cost to Lender of making, renewing or maintaining loans or extensions of credit or to reduce any amount receivable hereunder, then, in any such case, Borrower shall, without duplication of any other amounts payable by Borrower hereunder, promptly pay Lender, upon demand, any additional amounts necessary to compensate Lender for such additional cost or reduced amount receivable (in each case to the extent relating to the Loan) as determined by Lender in its reasonable discretion. If Lender becomes entitled to claim any additional amounts pursuant to this subsection, Lender shall provide Borrower with not less than thirty (30) days notice specifying in reasonable detail the event by reason of which it has become so entitled and the additional amount required to fully compensate Lender for such additional cost or reduced amount; provided that Borrower shall not be required to compensate Lender pursuant to this subsection for any increased costs or reductions incurred more than one hundred eighty (180) days prior to the date that Lender notifies Borrower of the event giving rise to thereto and Lender’s intention to claim compensation therefor. A certificate as to any additional costs or amounts payable pursuant to the foregoing sentence submitted by Lender to Borrower shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error. This provision shall survive payment of the Note and the satisfaction of all other obligations of Borrower under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.
(viii) Borrower agrees to indemnify Lender and to hold Lender harmless from any actual loss or expense (but excluding lost profits, loss of opportunity or special, punitive or consequential damages) which Lender sustains or incurs as a consequence of (A) any default by Borrower in payment of the principal of or interest on a LIBOR Loan, including, without limitation, any such loss or expense arising from interest or fees payable by Lender to lenders of funds obtained by it in order to maintain a LIBOR Loan hereunder, (B) any prepayment (whether voluntary or mandatory) of the LIBOR Loan on a day that is not a Monthly Payment Date, including, without limitation, such loss or expense arising from interest or fees payable by Lender to lenders of funds obtained by it in order to maintain the LIBOR Loan hereunder and (C) the conversion (for any reason whatsoever, whether voluntary or involuntary) of the Interest Rate with respect to the Floating Rate Component from the Interest Rate specified in Section 2.5(b)(i) for the Floating Rate Component to the Prime Rate plus the Prime Rate Spread with respect to any portion of the outstanding principal amount of the Loan then bearing interest based on the Adjusted LIBOR Rate on a date other than a Monthly Payment Date, including, without limitation, such loss or expenses arising from interest or fees payable by Lender to lenders of funds obtained by it in order to maintain a LIBOR Loan hereunder (the amounts referred to in clauses (A), (B) and (C) are herein referred to collectively as the “Breakage Costs”); provided, however, Borrower shall not indemnify Lender from any loss or expense arising from Lender’s willful misconduct or gross negligence. This provision shall survive payment of the Note in full and the satisfaction of all other obligations of Borrower under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.
If Lender requests compensation under subsection (vii) above, or if Borrower is required to pay any additional amount to Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to subsection (v) above, then Lender shall use reasonable efforts to designate a different lending office for funding or booking the Loan hereunder or to assign its rights and obligations
-46-
hereunder to another of its offices or branches, if, in the reasonable judgment of Lender, such designation or assignment (i) would eliminate or reduce amounts payable in the future and (ii) would not subject Lender to any material unreimbursed cost or expense and would not otherwise be disadvantageous to Lender in any material respect.
(c) Default Rate. In the event that, and for so long as, any Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, (i) the then outstanding principal balance of the Loan and, to the extent permitted by applicable law, overdue interest in respect of the Loan, shall each accrue interest at the Default Rate, calculated from the date the Event of Default occurred, (ii) without limitation of any rights or remedies contained herein and/or in any other Loan Document, any interest accrued at the Default Rate in excess of the interest component of the Monthly Debt Service Payment Amount shall, to the extent not already paid and/or due and payable hereunder, be due and payable on each Monthly Payment Date and (iii) all references herein and/or in any other Loan Document to the “Interest Rate”, the “Fixed Interest Rate” and/or the “Floating Interest Rate” shall be deemed to refer to the Default Rate.
(d) Interest Calculation. Interest on the outstanding principal balance of each Note shall be calculated by multiplying (a) the actual number of days elapsed in the period for which the calculation is being made by (b) a daily rate based on a three hundred sixty (360) day year (that is, the Interest Rate or the Default Rate, as then applicable, expressed as an annual rate divided by 360) by (c) the outstanding principal balance of each such Note. The accrual period for calculating interest due on each Monthly Payment Date shall be the Interest Accrual Period in which the related Monthly Payment Date occurs. Borrower understands and acknowledges that such interest accrual requirement results in more interest accruing on the Loan than if either a thirty (30) day month and a three hundred sixty (360) day year or the actual number of days and a three hundred sixty-five (365) day year were used to compute the accrual of interest on the Loan.
(e) Usury Savings. This Agreement and the other Loan Documents are subject to the express condition that at no time shall Borrower be required to pay interest on the principal balance of the Loan at a rate which could subject Lender to either civil or criminal liability as a result of being in excess of the Maximum Legal Rate. If by the terms of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, Borrower is at any time required or obligated to pay interest on the principal balance due hereunder at a rate in excess of the Maximum Legal Rate, the Interest Rate or the Default Rate, as the case may be, shall be deemed to be immediately reduced to the Maximum Legal Rate and all previous payments in excess of the Maximum Legal Rate shall be deemed to have been payments in reduction of principal and not on account of the interest due hereunder. All sums paid or agreed to be paid to Lender for the use, forbearance, or detention of the sums due under the Loan, shall, to the extent permitted by applicable law, be amortized, prorated, allocated, and spread throughout the full stated term of the Loan until payment in full so that the rate or amount of interest on account of the Loan does not exceed the Maximum Legal Rate from time to time in effect and applicable to the Loan for so long as the Loan is outstanding.
Section 2.6. Loan Payments.
(a) Borrower shall make a payment to Lender of interest only on each Note on the Closing Date for the period from (and including) the Closing Date through (and including) the
-47-
fourteenth (14th) day of either (i) the month in which the Closing Date occurs (if the Closing Date occurs on or before the fourteenth (14th) day of such month, or (ii) the month following the month in which the Closing Date occurs (if the Closing Date occurs on or after the fifteenth (15th) day of the then current calendar month; provided, however, if the Closing Date is the fourteenth (14th) day of a calendar month, no such separate payment of interest shall be due. Borrower shall make a payment to Lender of interest in the amount of the Monthly Debt Service Payment Amount on the First Monthly Payment Date and on each Monthly Payment Date occurring thereafter to and including the Maturity Date.
(b) Reserved.
(c) Borrower shall pay to Lender on the Maturity Date the outstanding principal balance of the Loan, all accrued and unpaid interest and all other amounts due hereunder and under the Note, the Pledge Agreement and the other Loan Documents.
(d) If any principal, interest or any other sum due under the Loan Documents, other than the payment of principal due on the Maturity Date, is not paid by Borrower on the date on which it is due, Borrower shall pay to Lender upon demand an amount equal to the lesser of five percent (5%) of such unpaid sum or the maximum amount permitted by applicable law in order to defray the expense incurred by Lender in handling and processing such delinquent payment and to compensate Lender for the loss of the use of such delinquent payment. Any such amount shall be secured by the Pledge Agreement and the other Loan Documents.
(e)
(i) Except as otherwise specifically provided herein, all payments and prepayments under this Agreement and the Note shall be made to Lender not later than 3:00 P.M., New York City time, on the date when due and shall be made in lawful money of the United States of America in immediately available funds at Lender’s office, and any funds received by Lender after such time shall, for all purposes hereof, be deemed to have been paid on the next succeeding Business Day.
(ii) Whenever any payment to be made hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall be stated to be due on a day which is not a Business Day, the due date thereof shall be deemed to be the immediately preceding Business Day.
(iii) All payments required to be made by Borrower hereunder or under the Note or the other Loan Documents shall be made irrespective of, and without deduction for, any setoff, claim or counterclaim and shall be made irrespective of any defense thereto.
Section 2.7. Prepayments.
(a) Voluntary Prepayment. Except as provided in this Section 2.7, Section 2.10 hereof and Section 8.10 of the Mortgage Loan Agreement, Borrower shall not have the right to voluntarily prepay the Loan in whole or in part.
-48-
(b) Borrower may, provided no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, at its option and upon prior notice to Lender as set forth herein, prepay (I) the Floating Rate Component in whole or in part on any Business Day or (II) on and after the Prepayment Release Date (and so long as the Floating Rate Component has been prepaid in full), the Fixed Rate Component in whole or in part on any Business Day; provided that (i) the Mortgage Loan and each Mezzanine Loan shall be simultaneously prepaid on a pro-rata basis with the Loan in connection with such prepayment in accordance with the terms and conditions of Section 2.7(b) of the Mortgage Loan Agreement and each respective Mezzanine Loan Agreement and (ii) such prepayment is accompanied by payment of the Breakage Costs (if any), the Prepayment Premium and the applicable Interest Shortfall. Lender shall not be obligated to accept any prepayment pursuant to this Section 2.7(b) unless it is accompanied by payment of the Breakage Costs, the Prepayment Premium and the applicable Interest Shortfall (if any) due in connection therewith. In the event that Borrower shall prepay the Floating Rate Component or the Fixed Rate Component in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Section 2.7(b) on a date from (and including) the tenth (10th) day of a calendar month through (and including) the fourteenth (14th) day of a calendar month, Borrower shall pay to Lender (together with all other amounts owed to Lender pursuant to this Section 2.7(b)) the Interest Shortfall estimated by Lender to be due in connection with such prepayment; provided, that, once the Interest Rate for the next occurring Interest Accrual Period can be determined, Lender shall calculate the actual Interest Shortfall required to be paid by Borrower for such prepayment and (x) if the Interest Shortfall paid to Lender is in excess of the amount required to be paid pursuant to this Section 2.7(b), Lender shall promptly return to Borrower such excess amount and (y) if the Interest Shortfall is less than the amount required to be paid to Lender pursuant to this Section 2.7(b), Borrower shall pay to Lender the amount of such deficiency within three (3) Business Days of notice to Borrower from Lender. As a condition to any voluntary prepayment pursuant to this Section 2.7(b), Borrower shall give Lender written notice (a “Prepayment Notice”) of its intent to prepay, which notice must be given at least thirty (30) days prior to the Business Day upon which prepayment is to be made and must specify the Business Day on which such prepayment is to be made. Borrower hereby agrees that, in the event Borrower delivers a Prepayment Notice and fails to prepay the Floating Rate Component and/or the Fixed Rate Component, as applicable, in accordance with the Prepayment Notice and the terms of this Section 2.7(b), Borrower shall pay Lender all reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred by Lender, including, without limitation, any Breakage Costs or similar expenses, as a result of such failure to prepay the Loan.
(c) In addition to prepayments pursuant to Section 2.7(b), Borrower may, provided no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, at its option and upon prior notice to Lender as set forth herein, prepay the Floating Rate Component in whole or in part on any Business Day in connection with the release of an Individual Property in accordance with the terms and conditions of Section 2.10 hereof in an amount not to exceed, in the aggregate with all other prepayments of the Floating Rate Component pursuant to this Section 2.7(c) and Section 2.10 hereof, the Permitted Prepayment Threshold without the payment of any Prepayment Premium; provided that (i) the Mortgage Loan and each Mezzanine Loan shall be simultaneously prepaid in connection with the release of such Individual Property with the Loan in accordance with the terms and conditions of Section 2.7(c) and Section 2.10 of the Mortgage Loan Agreement and each respective Mezzanine Loan Agreement and (ii) such prepayment is accompanied by payment of the Breakage Costs (if any) and the applicable Interest Shortfall. Lender shall not be obligated to accept any prepayment
-49-
pursuant to this Section 2.7(c) unless it is accompanied by payment of the Breakage Costs and the applicable Interest Shortfall due in connection therewith. In the event that Borrower shall prepay the Floating Rate Component in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Section 2.7(c) on a date from (and including) the tenth (10th) day of a calendar month through (and including) the fourteenth (14th) day of a calendar month, Borrower shall pay to Lender (together with all other amounts owed to Lender pursuant to this Section 2.7(c)) the Interest Shortfall estimated by Lender to be due in connection with such prepayment; provided, that, once the Interest Rate for the next occurring Interest Accrual Period can be determined, Lender shall calculate the actual Interest Shortfall required to be paid by Borrower for such prepayment and (x) if the Interest Shortfall paid to Lender is in excess of the amount required to be paid pursuant to this Section 2.7(c), Lender shall promptly return to Borrower such excess amount and (y) if the Interest Shortfall is less than the amount required to be paid to Lender pursuant to this Section 2.7(c), Borrower shall pay to Lender the amount of such deficiency within three (3) Business Days of notice to Borrower from Lender. As a condition to any voluntary prepayment, Borrower shall give Lender a Prepayment Notice at least thirty (30) days prior to the Business Day upon which prepayment is to be made and must specify the Business Day on which such prepayment is to be made. Borrower hereby agrees that, in the event Borrower delivers a Prepayment Notice and fails to prepay the Floating Rate Component in accordance with the Prepayment Notice and the terms of this Section 2.7(c), Borrower shall pay Lender all reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred by Lender, including, without limitation, any Breakage Costs or similar expenses, as a result of such failure to prepay the Loan.
(d) Liquidation Events; Mandatory Prepayment. In the event of (i) any Casualty to all or any portion of a Property, (ii) any Condemnation of all or any portion of a Property, (iii) a Sale or Pledge of all or any portion of a Property, any Collateral (as defined in the Mezzanine A Loan Agreement) or any Collateral (as defined in the Mezzanine B Loan Agreement) in connection with, or as a result of, a foreclosure proceeding, (iv) any refinancing of a Property, the Collateral (as defined in the Mezzanine A Loan Agreement), the Collateral (as defined in the Mezzanine B Loan Agreement), the Mortgage Loan, the Mezzanine A Loan or the Mezzanine B Loan, or (v) the receipt by Mortgage Borrower of any excess proceeds realized under its owner’s title insurance policy after application of such proceeds by Mortgage Borrower to cure any title defect (each, a “Liquidation Event”), Borrower shall cause the related Net Liquidation Proceeds After Debt Service to be paid directly to Lender. On each date on which Lender actually receives a distribution of Net Liquidation Proceeds After Debt Service, Lender shall apply such Net Liquidation Proceeds After Debt Service to the outstanding principal balance of the Loan in an amount up to the applicable Release Price relating to a Property or Properties subject to the Liquidation Event together with payment of any applicable Breakage Costs, Prepayment Premium (except in connection with a Casualty or Condemnation) and Interest Shortfall. Any amounts of Net Liquidation Proceeds After Debt Service in excess of the applicable Release Price relating to a Property or Properties subject to the Liquidation Event shall be paid by Lender to Borrower. Once Borrower has knowledge that a Liquidation Event has occurred, Borrower shall, or shall cause Mortgage Borrower, Mezzanine A Borrower and/or Mezzanine B Borrower, as applicable, to promptly deliver written notice of such Liquidation Event to Lender. Borrower shall be deemed to have knowledge of (i) a foreclosure sale on the date notice of such foreclosure sale is given and (ii) a refinancing of all or any portion of a Property, the Collateral (as defined in the Mezzanine A Loan Agreement) and/or the Collateral (as defined in the Mezzanine B Loan Agreement), on the date on which a commitment for such refinancing has been
-50-
entered into. The provisions of this Section 2.7(d) shall not be construed to contravene in any manner the restrictions and other provisions regarding refinancing of the Mortgage Loan, the Mezzanine A Loan or the Mezzanine B Loan or the Sale or Pledge of the Properties (or any portion thereof) set forth in this Agreement (including, without limitation, in Section 2.10), the other Loan Documents, the Mezzanine A Loan Documents, the Mezzanine B Loan Documents and the Mortgage Loan Documents. The Release Price with respect to any Individual Property subject to a prepayment in accordance with this Section 2.7(d) shall be reduced in an amount equal to the principal portion of such prepayment applied to the Loan. Notwithstanding the foregoing to the contrary, provided that no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, there shall be no obligation to pay to Lender amounts that Mortgage Borrower is entitled to retain pursuant to Section 7.4(b)(vii) of the Mortgage Loan Agreement.
(e) Prepayments After Default. If concurrently with or after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, payment of all or any part of the principal of the Loan is tendered by Borrower, a purchaser at foreclosure or any other Person, (i) such tender shall be deemed an attempt to circumvent the prohibition against prepayment set forth herein, and (ii) Borrower, such purchaser at foreclosure or other Person shall pay the Prepayment Premium with respect to the Floating Rate Component, the Default Yield Maintenance Premium with respect to the Fixed Rate Component, the Breakage Costs and the Interest Shortfall, in addition to the outstanding principal balance, all accrued and unpaid interest and other amounts payable under the Loan Documents. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein or in any other Loan Document, any prepayment of the Debt (after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default) shall be applied to the Debt in such order and priority as may be determined by Lender in its sole discretion.
(f) Intentionally Omitted.
(g) Prepaying Mezzanine Borrower. Provided no Event of Default shall then exist, Borrower and each Mezzanine Borrower (such Mezzanine Borrower, a “Prepaying Mezzanine Borrower”) may at its sole discretion, subject to the terms and conditions of the Loan Documents and the applicable Mezzanine Loan Documents, voluntarily prepay all or any portion of the Loan and the Mezzanine Loans (as applicable) that is not in connection with the release of an Individual Property or Properties (the “Prepaid Mezzanine Loan”) without a prepayment of the Mortgage Loan, provided that concurrently with such voluntary prepayment of the Prepaid Mezzanine Loan, Borrower and each other Mezzanine Borrower shall make a prepayment of the Loan and Mezzanine Loans, as applicable, in an amount determined by multiplying the outstanding principal balance of each such Loan and Mezzanine Loan, as applicable, by a fraction (1) the numerator of which is the portion of the Prepaid Mezzanine Loan being prepaid pursuant to the Loan Documents and applicable Mezzanine Loan Documents and (2) the denominator of which is the outstanding principal balance of the Prepaid Mezzanine Loan.
Section 2.8. Interest Rate Cap Agreement.
(a) Prior to or contemporaneously with the Rate Cap Purchase Date, Borrower shall enter into an Interest Rate Cap Agreement with a LIBOR strike rate equal to the Strike Rate. The Interest Rate Cap Agreement (i) shall at all times be in a form and substance acceptable to Lender,
-51-
(ii) shall at all times be with a Counterparty, (iii) shall at all times be for a period that ends on the last day of the Interest Accrual Period related to the then current Floating Rate Component Maturity Date, and (iv) shall at all times have a notional amount equal to or greater than the principal balance of the Floating Rate Component and shall at all times provide for the applicable LIBOR strike rate to be equal to the Strike Rate. Borrower shall direct such Counterparty to deposit directly into the Cash Management Account any amounts due Borrower under such Interest Rate Cap Agreement so long as any portion of the Debt is outstanding, provided that the Debt shall be deemed to be outstanding if the Collateral is transferred by judicial or non-judicial foreclosure or assignment-in-lieu thereof. Additionally, Borrower shall collaterally assign to Lender, pursuant to the Collateral Assignment of Interest Rate Cap Agreement, all of its right, title and interest in and to the Interest Rate Cap Agreement (and any replacements thereof), including, without limitation, its right to receive any and all payments under the Interest Rate Cap Agreement (and any replacements thereof), and Borrower shall, and shall cause Counterparty to, deliver to Lender a fully executed Interest Rate Cap Agreement (which shall, by its terms, authorize the assignment to Lender and require that payments be deposited directly into the Cash Management Account).
(b) Borrower shall comply with all of its obligations under the terms and provisions of the Interest Rate Cap Agreement. All amounts paid by the Counterparty under the Interest Rate Cap Agreement to Borrower or Lender shall be deposited immediately into the Cash Management Account. Borrower shall take all actions reasonably requested by Lender to enforce Lender’s rights under the Interest Rate Cap Agreement in the event of a default by the Counterparty and shall not waive, amend or otherwise modify any of its rights thereunder.
(c) In the event of any downgrade, withdrawal or qualification of the rating of the Counterparty by any Rating Agency below the Minimum Counterparty Rating, Borrower shall (either pursuant to Section 2.8(e) below or otherwise) replace (or cause to be replaced) the Interest Rate Protection Agreement not later than ten (10) Business Days following receipt of notice of such downgrade, withdrawal or qualification with an Interest Rate Protection Agreement in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Lender (and meeting the requirements set forth in this Section 2.8) (a “Replacement Interest Rate Cap Agreement”) from a Counterparty having a Minimum Counterparty Rating.
(d) In the event that Borrower fails to purchase and deliver to Lender the Interest Rate Cap Agreement or fails to maintain the Interest Rate Cap Agreement in accordance with the terms and provisions of this Agreement, Lender may purchase the Interest Rate Cap Agreement and the cost incurred by Lender in purchasing such Interest Rate Cap Agreement shall be paid by Borrower to Lender with interest thereon at the Default Rate from the date such cost was incurred by Lender until such cost is reimbursed by Borrower to Lender.
(e) Each Interest Rate Cap Agreement shall contain the following language or its equivalent: “In the event of any downgrade, withdrawal or qualification of the rating of the Counterparty below (a) a long-term unsecured debt rating of “A+” by S&P, which rating shall not include a “t” or otherwise reflect a termination risk or otherwise be qualified (or if S&P no longer rates any Counterparties the equivalent from DBRS (if rated by DBRS)); (b) either (i) a long-term senior unsecured debt rating of at least “A2” from Xxxxx’x and a short-term unsecured debt rating
-52-
of at least “P-1” from Xxxxx’x which rating shall not include a “t” or otherwise reflect a termination risk or otherwise be qualified or (ii) if no short-term senior unsecured debt rating exists, a long-term unsecured debt rating of not less than “A1” by Xxxxx’x which rating shall not include a “t” or otherwise reflect a termination risk or otherwise be qualified; and/or (c) a long-term unsecured debt rating of “A” (and not on Rating Watch Negative) by Fitch and a short-term unsecured debt rating of not less than “F-1” (and not on Rating Watch Negative) from Fitch, the Counterparty must, within ten (10) business days find a replacement Counterparty, at the Counterparty’s sole cost and expense, acceptable to each Rating Agency and Borrower; provided that, notwithstanding such a downgrade, withdrawal or qualification, unless and until the Counterparty transfers the Interest Rate Cap Agreement to a replacement Counterparty pursuant to the foregoing, the Counterparty will continue to perform its obligations under the Interest Rate Cap Agreement. Failure to satisfy the foregoing shall constitute an “Additional Termination Event” as defined by Section 5(b)(v) of the ISDA Master Agreement, with the Counterparty as the “Affected Party.”
(f) Borrower shall obtain and deliver to Lender an opinion from counsel (which counsel may be in house counsel for the Counterparty) for the Counterparty (upon which Lender and its successors and assigns may rely) which shall provide, in relevant part and subject to customary and other reasonably satisfactory qualifications, exceptions and assumptions, that:
(i) the Counterparty is duly organized, validly existing, and in good standing under the laws of its jurisdiction of incorporation and has the organizational power and authority to execute and deliver, and to perform its obligations under, the Interest Rate Cap Agreement;
(ii) the execution and delivery of the Interest Rate Cap Agreement by the Counterparty, and any other agreement which the Counterparty has executed and delivered pursuant thereto, and the performance of its obligations thereunder have been and remain duly authorized by all necessary action and do not contravene any provision of its certificate of incorporation or by-laws (or equivalent organizational documents) or any law, regulation or contractual restriction binding on or affecting it or its property;
(iii) all consents, authorizations and approvals required for the execution and delivery by the Counterparty of the Interest Rate Cap Agreement, and any other agreement which the Counterparty has executed and delivered pursuant thereto, and the performance of its obligations thereunder have been obtained and remain in full force and effect, all conditions thereof have been duly complied with, and no other action by, and no notice to or filing with any governmental authority or regulatory body is required for such execution, delivery or performance; and
(iv) the Interest Rate Cap Agreement, and any other agreement which the Counterparty has executed and delivered pursuant thereto, has been duly executed and delivered by the Counterparty and constitutes the legal, valid and binding obligation of the Counterparty, enforceable against the Counterparty in accordance with its terms, subject to applicable bankruptcy, insolvency and similar laws affecting creditors’ rights generally, and subject, as to enforceability, to general principles of equity (regardless of whether enforcement is sought in a proceeding in equity or at law).
-53-
Section 2.9. Extension of the Floating Rate Component Maturity Date. Borrower shall have the option to extend the term of the Floating Rate Component beyond the Floating Rate Component Initial Maturity Date for three (3) successive terms (the “Floating Rate Component Extension Option”) of one (1) year each (each, a “Floating Rate Component Extension Period”) to (i) the Monthly Payment Date occurring in December, 2017 if the first Floating Rate Component Extension Option is exercised, (ii) the Monthly Payment Date occurring in December, 2018 if the second Floating Rate Component Extension Option is exercised, and (iii) the Monthly Payment Date occurring in December, 2019 if the third Floating Rate Component Extension Option is exercised (each such date, the “Floating Rate Component Extended Maturity Date”) upon satisfaction of the following terms and conditions (in each case as determined by Lender):
(a) no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing on the date that the applicable Floating Rate Component Extension Period is commenced;
(b) Borrower shall notify Lender of its irrevocable election to extend the Floating Rate Component Maturity Date as aforesaid not earlier than sixty (60) days and no later than thirty (30) days prior to the applicable Floating Rate Component Maturity Date and on the date such notice is given no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing;

If any applicable law (as determined in the good faith discretion of an applicable Withholding Agent) requires the deduction or withholding of any Section 2.13 Taxes from any such payment by a Withholding Agent, then the applicable
-63-
Withholding Agent shall be entitled to make such deduction or withholding and shall timely pay the full amount deducted or withheld to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law and, if such Section 2.13 Taxes is an Indemnified Tax, then the sum payable by Borrower shall be increased as necessary so that after such deduction or withholding has been made (including such deductions and withholdings applicable to additional sums payable under this Section) the applicable Recipient receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deduction or withholding been made.
(c) Payment of Other Taxes by Borrower. Without duplication, Borrower shall timely pay (or cause to be paid) to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law, or at the option of the Agent timely reimburse it for the payment of, any Other Taxes.

In addition, any Lender, if reasonably requested by Borrower or Agent, shall deliver such other documentation prescribed by applicable law or reasonably requested by Borrower or Agent as will enable Borrower or Agent to determine whether or not such Lender is subject to backup withholding or information reporting requirements and to satisfy any such requirements. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the preceding two sentences, the completion, execution and submission of such documentation (other than such documentation set forth in Section 2.13(f)(ii)(A), (ii)(B) and (ii)(D) below) shall not be required if in the Lender’s reasonable judgment such completion, execution or submission would subject such Lender to any material unreimbursed cost or expense or would materially prejudice the legal or commercial position of such Lender.

(D) 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 applicable), such Lender shall deliver to Borrower and Agent at the time or times prescribed by law and at such time or times reasonably requested by Borrower or 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 Agent as may be necessary for Borrower and 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 (D), “FATCA” shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the date of this Agreement.
(iii) Agent shall deliver to Borrower, on or prior to the date on which Agent becomes an Agent under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of Borrower) such properly completed and executed documentation reasonably requested by Borrower as will permit payments to be made under any Loan Document to Agent without withholding. In addition, Agent, if reasonably requested by Borrower, shall deliver such other documentation prescribed by applicable law or reasonably requested by Borrower as will enable Borrower to determine whether or not Agent is subject to information reporting requirements and to satisfy any such requirements. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Agent shall deliver to Borrower (A) executed originals of IRS Form W-9 certifying that Agent is exempt from U.S. federal backup withholding tax or (B) executed originals of IRS Form W-8IMY certifying that Agent is acting as a “qualified intermediary” or a “nonqualified intermediary” and accompanied by any required attachments (including certification documents from each beneficial owner). For purposes of this Section 2.13(iii), “Agent” shall mean Agent in its capacity as such and not in any other capacity (such as a Lender).
-66-
Agent and each Lender agrees that if any form or certification it previously delivered expires or becomes obsolete or inaccurate in any respect, it shall update such form or certification or promptly notify Borrower and Agent in writing of its legal inability to do so.
(g) Treatment of Certain Refunds. If any party determines, in its sole discretion exercised in good faith, that it has received a refund of any Section 2.13 Taxes as to which it has been indemnified pursuant to this Section 2.13 (including by the payment of additional amounts pursuant to this Section 2.13), it shall pay to the indemnifying party an amount equal to such refund (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made under this Section with respect to the Section 2.13 Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses (including Section 2.13 Taxes) of such indemnified party and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund less any Taxes payable by such party with respect to such interest). Such indemnifying party, upon the request of such indemnified party, shall repay to such indemnified party the amount paid over pursuant to this paragraph (g) (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) in the event that such indemnified party is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this paragraph (g), in no event will the indemnified party be required to pay any amount to an indemnifying party pursuant to this paragraph (g) the payment of which would place the indemnified party in a less favorable net after-tax position than the indemnified party would have been in if the Section 2.13 Tax subject to indemnification and giving rise to such refund had not been deducted, withheld or otherwise imposed and the indemnification payments or additional amounts with respect to such Section 2.13 Tax had never been paid. This paragraph shall not be construed to require any indemnified party to make available its tax returns (or any other information relating to its Section 2.13 Taxes that it reasonably deems confidential) to the indemnifying party or any other Person.
(h) Survival. Each party’s obligations under this Section 2.13 shall survive the resignation or replacement of Agent or any assignment of rights by, or the replacement of, a Lender, and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all obligations under any Loan Document.

Neither Borrower nor Guarantor has asserted any right of rescission, setoff, counterclaim or defense with respect to the Loan Documents.

There is no agreement or instrument
-68-

Section 3.6. Disclosure. Borrower has not failed to disclose any material fact that could cause any representation or warranty made herein to be materially misleading.
Section 3.7. No Plan Assets.

Borrower’s delivery of the certificates, together with the applicable undated limited liability company membership power, limited partnership power, or trust power, as the case may be, if any, to Lender as set forth in Section 3 of the Pledge Agreement creates a first priority valid and perfected security interest in the Collateral.

If Lender shall make any payment or perform any act or take action in accordance with the preceding sentence, Lender will notify Borrower thereof. In any such event, subject to the rights of tenants, subtenants and other occupants under the Leases, Lender and any Person designated by Lender shall have, and are hereby granted, the right to enter upon the Property at any time and from time to time for the purpose of taking any such action. If Operating Lessee shall deliver to Lender a copy of any notice of default sent by Operating Lessee to Mortgage Borrower, as landlord under any Operating Lease, such notice shall constitute full protection to Lender for any action taken or omitted to be taken by Lender, in good faith, in reliance thereon. Any sums expended by Lender pursuant to this paragraph shall bear interest at the Default Rate from the date such cost is incurred to the date of payment to Lender, shall be deemed to constitute a portion of the Debt, shall be secured by the lien of the Pledge Agreement and the other Loan Documents and shall be immediately due and payable upon demand by Lender therefor.
(f) In the event of the bankruptcy, reorganization or insolvency of Mortgage Borrower (including Operating Lessee), any attempt by Mortgage Borrower (including Operating Lessee) to surrender its leasehold estate, or any portion thereof, under any Operating Lease, or any attempt under such circumstances by Mortgage Borrower (including Operating Lessee) to terminate, cancel or acquiesce in the rejection of any Operating Lease without the consent of Lender shall be null and void.

(i) Transferee shall furnish to Lender a New Non-Consolidation Opinion and an additional opinion of counsel reasonably satisfactory to Lender and its counsel (A) if Section 6.4(f) applies, that the assumption of the Debt has been duly authorized, executed and delivered, and that the assumption agreement and the other Loan Documents are valid, binding and enforceable against Transferee in accordance with their terms, (B) that Transferee and any entity which is a controlling stockholder, member or general partner of Transferee, have been duly organized, and are in existence and good standing and (C) with respect to such other matters as Lender may reasonably request;

Until expended or applied in accordance herewith, the Accounts and the funds deposited therein shall constitute additional security for the Debt. The provisions of this Section 8.3 (together with the other related provisions of the other Loan Documents) are intended to give Lender and/or Servicer “control” of the Accounts and the Account Collateral and serve as a “security agreement” and a “control agreement” with respect to the same, in each case, within the meaning of the UCC. Borrower acknowledges and agrees that the Accounts are subject to the sole dominion, control and discretion of Lender, its authorized agents or designees, subject to the terms hereof, and Borrower shall have no right of withdrawal with respect to any Account except with the prior written consent of Lender or as otherwise provided herein. The funds on deposit in the Accounts shall not constitute trust funds and may be commingled with other monies held by Lender. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, unless otherwise consented to in writing by Lender, Borrower shall only be permitted to request (and Lender shall only be required to disburse) Reserve Funds on account of the liabilities, costs, work and other matters (as applicable) for which said sums were originally reserved hereunder, in each case, as reasonably determined by Lender.
(b) Borrower shall not, without obtaining the prior written consent of Lender, further pledge, assign or grant any security interest in the Accounts or the sums deposited therein or permit any lien to attach thereto, or any levy to be made thereon, or any UCC-1 Financing Statements, except those naming Lender as the secured party, to be filed with respect thereto. Borrower hereby authorizes Lender to file a financing statement or statements under the UCC in connection with any of the Accounts and the Account Collateral in the form required to properly perfect Lender’s security interest therein. Borrower agrees that at any time and from time to time, at the expense of Borrower, Borrower will promptly execute and deliver all further instruments and documents, and take all further action, that may be reasonably necessary or desirable, or that Lender may reasonably request, in order to perfect and protect any security interest granted or purported to be granted hereby (including, without limitation, any security interest in and to any Permitted Investments) or to enable Lender to exercise and enforce its rights and remedies hereunder with respect to any Account or Account Collateral.
(c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein or in any other Loan Document, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, without notice from Lender or Servicer (i) Borrower shall have no rights in respect of the Accounts, (ii) Lender may liquidate and transfer any amounts then invested in Permitted Investments pursuant to the applicable terms hereof to the Accounts or reinvest such amounts in other Permitted Investments as Lender may reasonably determine is necessary to perfect or protect any security interest granted
-129-
or purported to be granted hereby or pursuant to the other Loan Documents or to enable Lender to exercise and enforce Lender’s rights and remedies hereunder or under any other Loan Document with respect to any Account or any Account Collateral, and (iii) Lender shall have all rights and remedies with respect to the Accounts and the amounts on deposit therein and the Account Collateral as described in this Agreement and in the Pledge Agreement, in addition to all of the rights and remedies available to a secured party under the UCC, and, notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement or in the Pledge Agreement, may apply the amounts of such Accounts as Lender determines in its sole discretion including, but not limited to, payment of the Debt.
(d) The insufficiency of funds on deposit in the Accounts shall not absolve Borrower of the obligation to make any payments, as and when due pursuant to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and such obligations shall be separate and independent, and not conditioned on any event or circumstance whatsoever.
(e) Borrower shall indemnify Lender and hold Lender harmless from and against any and all actions, suits, claims, demands, liabilities, losses, damages (excluding consequential, special and punitive damages), obligations and costs and expenses (including litigation costs and reasonable attorneys fees and expenses) arising from or in any way connected with the Accounts, the sums deposited therein or the performance of the obligations for which the Accounts were established, except to the extent arising from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of Lender, its agents or employees. Borrower shall assign to Lender all rights and claims Borrower may have against all Persons supplying labor, materials or other services which are to be paid from or secured by the Accounts; provided, however, that Lender may not pursue any such right or claim unless an Event of Default has occurred and remains uncured.
(f) Borrower and Lender (or Servicer on behalf of Lender) shall maintain each applicable Account as an Eligible Account, except as otherwise expressly agreed to in writing by Lender. In the event that Lender or Servicer no longer satisfies the criteria for an Eligible Institution, Borrower shall cooperate with Lender in transferring the applicable Accounts to an institution that satisfies such criteria. Borrower hereby grants Lender power of attorney (irrevocable for so long as the Loan is outstanding) with respect to any such transfers and the establishment of accounts with a successor institution.
(g) Interest accrued on any Account other than an Interest Bearing Account shall not be required to be remitted either to Borrower or to any Account and may instead be retained by Lender. Funds deposited in the Interest Bearing Accounts shall be invested in Permitted Investments in accordance with this Agreement. Interest accrued, if any, on sums on deposit in the Interest Bearing Accounts shall be remitted to and become part of the applicable Account. All such interest that so becomes part of the applicable Account shall be disbursed in accordance with the disbursement procedures contained herein applicable to such Account; provided, however, that Lender may, at its election, retain any such interest for its own account during the occurrence and continuance of an Event of Default.
(h) Borrower acknowledges and agrees that it solely shall be, and shall at all times remain, liable to Lender or Servicer for all fees, charges, costs and expenses in connection with the Accounts, this Agreement and the enforcement hereof, including, without limitation, any monthly
-130-
or annual fees or charges as may be assessed by Lender or Servicer in connection with the administration of the Accounts and the reasonable fees and expenses of legal counsel to Lender and Servicer as needed to enforce, protect or preserve the rights and remedies of Lender and/or Servicer under this Agreement.
Section 8.4. Letters of Credit.
(a) In lieu of Borrower making deposits into any Reserve Account pursuant to this Agreement, Borrower may from time to time deliver to Lender a Letter of Credit in accordance with the provisions of this Section 8.4. Any Letter of Credit from time to time delivered in lieu of Borrower making deposits into any Reserve Account shall be in an amount not less than (x) with respect to any Reserve Account which is subject to monthly deposits, the amount of deposits required to be made by Borrower to such Reserve Account for the twelve (12) calendar month period following the date such Letter of Credit is delivered to Lender and (y) with respect to any Reserve Account which is subject to a deposit on the Closing Date or a future date, the then outstanding amount on deposit (or to be deposited) in such Reserve Account. If during the term of any Letter of Credit delivered by Borrower to this Section 8.4, the amount of deposits required to be made by Borrower to the applicable Reserve Account for such twelve (12) calendar month period shall increase to an amount exceeding the amount of such Letter of Credit, Borrower shall deliver to Lender an amendment to such Letter of Credit or a replacement Letter of Credit which shall be in an amount not less than the aggregate amount of such deposits required to be made during such twelve (12) calendar month period.
(b) Borrower shall give Lender no less than ten (10) days written notice of Borrower’s election to deliver a Letter of Credit together with a draft of the proposed Letter of Credit and Borrower shall pay to Lender all of Lender’s reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses in connection therewith. No party other than Lender shall be entitled to draw on any such Letter of Credit. Upon fifteen (15) days notice to Lender, Borrower may replace a Letter of Credit related to a Reserve Account with a cash deposit to such Reserve Account in the amount of such Letter of Credit. In the event that any disbursement of any Reserve Funds relates to a portion thereof provided through a Letter of Credit, any “disbursement” of said funds as provided above shall be deemed to refer to (i) Borrower providing Lender a replacement Letter of Credit in an amount equal to the original Letter of Credit posted less the amount of the applicable disbursement provided hereunder and (ii) Lender, after receiving such replacement Letter of Credit, returning such original Letter of Credit to Borrower; provided, that, no replacement Letter of Credit shall be required with respect to the final disbursement of the applicable Reserve Funds such that no further sums are required to be deposited in the applicable Reserve Funds.
(c) Each Letter of Credit delivered hereunder shall be additional security for the payment of the Debt. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, Lender shall have the right, at its option, to draw on any Letter of Credit and to apply all or any part thereof to the payment of the items for which such Letter of Credit was established or to apply each such Letter of Credit to payment of the Debt in such order, proportion or priority as Lender may determine. Any such application to the Debt shall be subject to the terms and conditions hereof relating to application of sums to the Debt. Lender shall have the additional rights to draw in full any Letter
-131-
of Credit: (i) if Lender has received a notice from the issuing bank that the Letter of Credit will not be renewed and a substitute Letter of Credit is not provided at least thirty (30) days prior to the date on which the outstanding Letter of Credit is scheduled to expire; (ii) if Lender has not received a notice from the issuing bank that it has renewed the Letter of Credit at least thirty (30) days prior to the date on which such Letter of Credit is scheduled to expire and a substitute Letter of Credit is not provided at least thirty (30) days prior to the date on which the outstanding Letter of Credit is scheduled to expire; (iii) upon receipt of notice from the issuing bank that the Letter of Credit will be terminated (except if the termination of such Letter of Credit is permitted pursuant to the terms and conditions hereof or a substitute Letter of Credit is provided by no later than thirty (30) days prior to such termination); (iv) if Lender has received notice that the bank issuing the Letter of Credit shall cease to be an Approved Bank and Borrower has not substituted a Letter of Credit from an Approved Bank within fifteen (15) days after notice; and/or (v) if the bank issuing the Letter of Credit shall fail to (A) issue a replacement Letter of Credit in the event the original Letter of Credit has been lost, mutilated, stolen and/or destroyed or (B) consent to the transfer of the Letter of Credit to any Person designated by Lender. If Lender draws upon a Letter of Credit pursuant to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, provided no Event of Default exists, Lender shall deposit the proceeds thereof into the applicable Account to which such Letter of Credit relates. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in the above, Lender is not obligated to draw any Letter of Credit upon the happening of an event specified in (i), (ii), (iii), (iv) or (v) above and shall not be liable for any losses sustained by Borrower due to the insolvency of the bank issuing the Letter of Credit if Lender has not drawn the Letter of Credit.
Section 8.5. Interest Rate Cap Funds. In the event that Borrower receives Interest Rate Cap Funds (as defined in the Mortgage Loan Agreement) in accordance with Section 8.12(b) of the Mortgage Loan Agreement, Borrower shall cause such funds to be used to purchase the Closing Date Interest Rate Caps applicable to the Loan.

In the event that the Mortgage Lender, Mezzanine A Lender or Mezzanine B Lender, as applicable, subsequently reinstates all or any Waived Cash Management Accounts, then the Lender shall cooperate to transfer such funds in the Substitute Cash Management Accounts to the Mortgage Lender, Mezzanine A Lender or Mezzanine B Lender, as applicable, and Borrower shall no longer be required to deposit funds into such Substitute Cash Management Accounts until such time as any such Waived Cash Management Accounts subsequently exists.

(bb) if any default by any Borrower Party shall exist under any of the other Loan Documents beyond any applicable cure periods contained in such Loan Documents or if any other such event shall occur or condition shall exist, and (in either case) if the effect of such default, event or condition is to accelerate the maturity of any portion of the Debt or to permit Lender to accelerate the maturity of all or any portion of the Debt.
Section 10.2. Remedies.
(a) Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default (other than an Event of Default described in Section 10.1(i) above with respect to Borrower, Mezzanine A Borrower, Mezzanine B Borrower, Mortgage Borrower or any Applicable SPE Component Entity and at any time thereafter while such Event of Default continues to exist Lender may, in addition to any other rights or remedies available to it pursuant to this Agreement, the Pledge Agreement, the Note and the other Loan Documents or at law or in equity, take such action, without notice or demand, that Lender deems advisable to protect and enforce its rights against Borrower and in the
-139-
Collateral, including, without limitation, declaring the Debt to be immediately due and payable, and Lender may enforce or avail itself of any or all rights or remedies provided in this Agreement, the Pledge Agreement, the Note and the other Loan Documents and may exercise the rights and remedies of a secured party under the Uniform Commercial Code against Borrower and the Collateral, including, without limitation, all rights or remedies available at law or in equity. Upon any Event of Default described in Section 10.1(i) above with respect to Borrower, Mezzanine A Borrower, Mezzanine B Borrower, Mortgage Borrower or any Applicable SPE Component Entity, the Debt and all other obligations of Borrower under this Agreement, the Pledge Agreement, the Note and 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 the Pledge Agreement, the Note and the other Loan Documents to the contrary notwithstanding.
(b) Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, all or any one or more of the rights, powers, privileges and other remedies available to Lender against Borrower under this Agreement, the Pledge Agreement, the Note or the other Loan Documents executed and delivered by, or applicable to, Borrower or at law or in equity may be exercised by Lender at any time and from time to time, whether or not all or any of the Debt shall be declared due and payable, and whether or not Lender shall have commenced any foreclosure proceeding or other action for the enforcement of its rights and remedies under this Agreement, the Pledge Agreement, the Note or the other Loan Documents with respect to the Collateral. Any such actions taken by Lender shall be cumulative and concurrent and may be pursued independently, singularly, successively, together or otherwise, at such time and in such order as Lender may determine in its sole discretion, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, without impairing or otherwise affecting the other rights and remedies of Lender permitted by applicable law, equity or contract or as set forth herein or in the Pledge Agreement, the Note or the other Loan Documents. 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 shall not be construed to be a waiver of any subsequent Default or Event of Default by Borrower or to impair any remedy, right or power consequent thereon.
(c) With respect to Borrower and the Collateral, nothing contained herein or in any other Loan Document shall be construed as requiring Lender to resort to any portion of the Collateral for the satisfaction of any of the Debt in any preference or priority to any other portion of the Collateral, and Lender may, if an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, seek satisfaction out of all of the Collateral or any part thereof, in its absolute discretion in respect of the Debt. In addition, if an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, Lender shall have the right from time to time to partially foreclose upon the Collateral in any manner and for any amounts secured by the Pledge Agreement then due and payable as determined by Lender in its sole discretion including, without limitation, the following circumstances: (i) in the event Borrower defaults beyond any applicable grace period in the payment of one or more scheduled payments of principal and interest, Lender may foreclose upon the Collateral (or any portion thereof) to recover such delinquent payments, or (ii) in the event Lender elects to accelerate less than the entire outstanding principal balance of the Loan, Lender may foreclose upon the Collateral (or any portion thereof) to recover
-140-
so much of the principal balance of the Loan as Lender may accelerate and such other sums secured by the Pledge Agreement as Lender may elect. Notwithstanding one or more partial foreclosures, the Collateral shall remain subject to the Pledge Agreement to secure payment of sums secured by the Pledge Agreement and not previously recovered.
(d) Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, Lender shall have the right from time to time to sever the Note and the other Loan Documents into one or more separate notes, security instruments and other security documents (the “Severed Loan Documents”) in such denominations as Lender shall determine in its sole discretion for purposes of evidencing and enforcing its rights and remedies provided hereunder. Borrower shall execute and deliver to Lender from time to time, promptly after the request of Lender, a severance agreement and such other documents as Lender shall request in order to effect the severance described in the preceding sentence, all in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Lender. Borrower hereby absolutely and irrevocably appoints Lender as its true and lawful attorney, coupled with an interest, in its name and stead to make and execute all documents necessary or desirable to effect the aforesaid severance, Borrower ratifying all that its said attorney shall do by virtue thereof; provided, however, Lender shall not make or execute any such documents under such power until three (3) days after notice has been given to Borrower by Lender of Lender’s intent to exercise its rights under such power. Borrower shall not be obligated to pay any costs or expenses incurred in connection with the preparation, execution, recording or filing of the Severed Loan Documents and the Severed Loan Documents shall not contain any representations, warranties or covenants not contained in the Loan Documents and any such representations and warranties contained in the Severed Loan Documents will be given by Borrower only as of the Closing Date.
(e) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein or in any other Loan Document, any amounts recovered from the Collateral (or any portion thereof) or any other collateral for the Loan and/or paid to or received by Lender may, after an Event of Default, be applied by Lender toward the Debt in such order, priority and proportions as Lender in its sole discretion shall determine.
(f) Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, Lender may, but without any obligation to do so and without notice to or demand on Borrower and without releasing Borrower from any obligation hereunder or being deemed to have cured any Event of Default hereunder, make, do or perform any obligation of Borrower hereunder in such manner and to such extent as Lender may deem necessary. Lender is authorized to appear in, defend, or bring any action or proceeding to protect its interest in any the Collateral for such purposes, and the cost and expense thereof (including reasonable attorneys’ fees to the extent permitted by applicable law), with interest as provided in this Section, shall constitute a portion of the Debt and shall be due and payable to Lender upon demand. All such costs and expenses incurred by Lender in remedying such Event of Default or such failed payment or act or in appearing in, defending, or bringing any action or proceeding shall bear interest at the Default Rate, for the period after such cost or expense was incurred into the date of payment to Lender. All such costs and expenses incurred by Lender together with interest thereon calculated at the Default Rate shall be deemed to constitute a portion of the Debt and be secured by the liens, claims and security interests provided to Lender under the Loan Documents and shall be immediately due and payable upon demand by Lender therefor.

(a) Lender shall have the right (i) to sell or otherwise transfer the Loan (or any portion thereof and/or interest therein), (ii) to sell participation interests in the Loan (or any portion thereof and/or interest therein) or (iii) to securitize the Loan (or any portion thereof and/or interest therein) in a single asset securitization or a pooled asset securitization (including a collateralized debt obligation (CDO) securitization). The transactions referred to in clauses (i), (ii) and (iii) above shall hereinafter be referred to collectively as “Secondary Market Transactions” and the transactions referred to in clause (iii) shall hereinafter be referred to as a “Securitization”. Any certificates, notes or other securities issued in connection with a Securitization are hereinafter referred to as “Securities”.

-142-
(iii) provide updated, as of the closing date of the Secondary Market Transaction, representations and warranties made in the Loan Documents and such additional representations and warranties as the Rating Agencies may require, in each case consistent with the facts covered by such representations and warranties as they exist on the date thereof;
(iv) execute such amendments to the Loan Documents, the Mezzanine Loan Documents, and the Mortgage Loan Documents and Borrower’s, Mezzanine Borrower’s, Mortgage Borrower’s and any Operating Lessee Pledgor’s or any SPE Component Entity’s organizational documents as may be reasonably requested by Lender or requested by the Rating Agencies in order to effect any Secondary Market Transaction, including, without limitation, (A) to amend and/or supplement the Independent Director provisions provided herein and therein, in each case, in accordance with the applicable requirements of the Rating Agencies, (B) further bifurcating the Loan into two or more additional components, re-allocating the Loan among existing components or existing Notes, reducing the number of components of the Loan or of any Note and/or creating additional separate notes and/or creating additional senior/subordinate note structure(s), including, without limitation, re-allocating the principal amounts of the Loan, the Note and any Mezzanine Loan, including, without limitation, re-allocating the portions of each of the Loan and/or any Mezzanine Loan that accrue at a fixed rate of interest and that accrue at a floating rate of interest and/or re-allocating the portion of the Loan and any Mezzanine Loan which is subject to open prepayment in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Loan Documents (any of the foregoing, a “Loan Bifurcation”) and (C) to modify all operative dates (including but not limited to payment dates, interest period start dates and end dates, etc.) under the Loan Documents, by up to ten (10) days; provided, however, that (I) Borrower and/or Guarantor shall not be required to so modify or amend any Loan Document, Mortgage Loan Document or Mezzanine Loan Document if such modification or amendment would change any economic or non-economic term, including the interest rate or the stated maturity (except as would not have an adverse effect on Borrower, Guarantor and/or any of their Affiliates other than to a de minimus extent) or otherwise increase the obligations (other than to a de minimus extent) or decrease the rights of Borrower or any Affiliates pursuant to the Loan Documents, Mortgage Loan Documents or Mezzanine Loan Documents (other than to a de minimus extent), except in connection with a Loan Bifurcation which may result in varying interest rates but will have the same weighted average coupon of the original Note (except following an Event of Default) and (II) none of Borrower, Mortgage Borrower, any Mezzanine Borrower, any Operating Lessee Pledgor nor any SPE Component Entity shall be required to modify its organizational structure or make any other modification, if such modification would cause it or any of its Affiliates or direct or indirect owners to incur any additional tax liability or suffer other adverse consequences (other than to a de minimus extent). Borrower acknowledges and agrees that the execution of any Loan Bifurcation in accordance with terms and conditions hereof shall not in itself increase the obligations or decrease the rights of Borrower pursuant to the Loan Documents; and
(v) prior to the Securitization of the entire Loan, reallocate the Allocated Loan Amounts in Lender’s reasonable discretion and reasonably approved by Borrower, such reasonable approval not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed.
-143-
Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, with respect to any compliance by any Borrower Party with requests made pursuant to this Section 11.1 or any of Sections 11.2, 11.8 and 11.9 with respect to any Secondary Market Transaction, each Borrower Party shall pay their own costs and expenses incurred prior to the consummation of the corresponding Secondary Market Transaction in connection therewith (including, without limitation, attorneys’ fees and expenses) and Lender shall pay its own costs and expenses in connection therewith (including, without limitation, attorneys’ fees and expenses); provided that Lender shall reimburse the Borrower Parties for any reasonable, out-of-pocket costs incurred by the Borrower Parties prior to the consummation of the corresponding Secondary Market Transaction in Borrower’s complying with such requests (exclusive of the Borrower Parties’ legal fees, costs and disbursements, which shall be paid by the Borrower Parties and exclusive of all of Borrower’s costs and expenses with respect to Section 11.1(b)(v) hereof, which shall be paid by the Borrower Parties).
(c) If, at the time a Disclosure Document is being prepared for a Securitization, Lender reasonably expects that Borrower alone or Borrower and one or more Affiliates of Borrower collectively, or the Properties alone or the Properties and Related Properties collectively, will be a Significant Obligor, Borrower shall furnish to Lender upon reasonable request the following financial information:
(i) If Lender reasonably expects that the principal amount of the Loan together with any Related Loans, as of the cut-off date for such Securitization, may equal or exceed ten percent (10%), but be less than twenty percent (20%), of the aggregate principal amount of all mortgage loans included or expected to be included in the Securitization, net operating income for the Property and the Related Properties as required under Item 1112(b)(1) of Regulation AB, or
(ii) If Lender reasonably expects that the principal amount of the Loan together with any Related Loans, as of the cut-off date for such Securitization, may equal or exceed twenty percent (20%) of the aggregate principal amount of all mortgage loans included or expected to be included in the Securitization, the financial statements required under Item 1112(b)(2) of Regulation AB.
(d) In the event all or a portion of the Loan is included in a securitization involving a registered public offering of Securities pursuant to the Securities Act, and if Lender determines that Borrower alone or Borrower and one or more Affiliates of Borrower collectively, or the Properties alone or the Properties and the Related Properties, collectively, are a Significant Obligor, then Borrower shall furnish to Lender, on an ongoing basis, selected financial data or financial statements meeting the requirements of Item 1112(b)(1) or (2) of Regulation AB, as specified by Lender, but only for so long as such entity or entities are a Significant Obligor and either (x) filings pursuant to the Exchange Act in connection with or relating to the Securitization (an “Exchange Act Filing”) are required to be made under applicable Legal Requirements or (y) comparable information is required to otherwise be “available” to holders of Securities under Regulation AB or applicable Legal Requirements.
-144-
(e) Any financial data or financial statements required pursuant to Section 11.1(d) above shall be furnished to Lender (1) not later than forty-one (41) days after the end of the fiscal quarter of Borrower and (2) not later than eighty-five (85) days after the end of each fiscal year of Borrower.
(f) If requested by Lender, Borrower shall provide Lender, promptly following Lender’s request therefor, and in any event within the time periods required to comply with Regulation AB or other Legal Requirements relating to a Securitization (but no earlier than five (5) Business Days following notice from Lender), with any other or additional financial statements, or financial, statistical or operating information, as Lender shall reasonably determine to be required pursuant to Regulation AB, or any amendment, modification or replacement thereto or other Legal Requirements relating to a Securitization.
(g) All financial data and statements provided by Borrower hereunder in connection with a Securitization shall meet (and shall be accompanied by such auditors’ reports or consents and such certificates as may be necessary to comply with) the requirements of Regulation AB and other Legal Requirements, in each case to the extent applicable and as specified by Lender.
(h) Provided that no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, Lender agrees that it shall not sell any portion of the Loan or participation interest therein (excluding any note, certificate or other instrument issued in a Securitization) to an Excluded Entity in connection with the initial sale thereof. For the avoidance of doubt, Borrower’s rights under this Section do not apply to any sale of Securities or similar certificated instruments, and apply solely to the initial sale of a note, participation or mezzanine interest and not any subsequent resale thereof. Lender shall be entitled to rely on a representation from a transferee that such transferee is not an Excluded Entity without any need for independent investigation.
(i) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the provisions regarding the delivery of REMIC Opinions and satisfaction of REMIC Requirements will only apply if all or any portion of the Loan has been securitized.
Section 11.2. Disclosure.
(a) Borrower (on its own behalf and on behalf of each other Borrower Party) understands that information provided to Lender by Borrower, any other Borrower Party and/or their respective agents, counsel and representatives may be (i) included in (A) the Disclosure Documents and (B) filings under the Securities Act and/or the Exchange Act and (ii) made available to Investors, the Rating Agencies and service providers, in each case, in connection with any Securitization.
(b) Borrower and Guarantor shall indemnify Lender and its officers, directors, partners, employees, representatives, agents and affiliates against any losses, claims, damages or liabilities (collectively, the “Liabilities”) to which Lender and/or its officers, directors, partners, employees, representatives, agents and/or affiliates may become subject in connection with (x) any Disclosure Document and/or any Covered Rating Agency Information and (y) after a Securitization, any indemnity obligations incurred by Lender or Servicer in connection with any Rating Agency Confirmation, in each case, insofar as such Liabilities arise out of or are based upon any untrue statement of any material fact in the Provided Information and/or arise out of or are based upon the
-145-
omission to state a material fact in the Provided Information required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements in the applicable Disclosure Document and/or Covered Rating Agency Information, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading.
(c) Borrower and Guarantor shall provide in connection with each of (i) a preliminary and a final private placement memorandum, offering memorandum or offering circular, (ii) a free writing prospectus, (iii) a preliminary and final prospectus or prospectus supplement or (iv) a structural and collateral term sheet, as applicable, an agreement (A) certifying that Borrower and Guarantor have examined such sections of the Disclosure Documents entitled “Executive Summary”, “Property Overview”, “Summary of Mortgage Loan Terms”, “Risk Factors”, “Special Considerations”, “Description of the Properties”, “Description of the Loan Parties”, “Description of the Property Manager, Management Agreement and Assignment and Subordination of Management Agreement” (to the extent than any Manager is an Affiliated Manager), “Description of the Operating Lease”, “Description of the Mortgage Loan”, “Description of the Mezzanine Loan”, “Sources and Uses”, “Description of the Loan”, “Annex E - Representations and Warranties of Borrower”, “Annex F-Allocated Loan Amounts”, “Annex G-Borrower Organizational Chart”, and “Risk Factors” and that each such Disclosure Document, as it relates to Borrower, Borrower Affiliates, the Properties, the Applicable Collateral, Manager, Sponsor, Guarantor, the Mezzanine Loans, the Loan, the Mortgage Loan, the Mortgage Borrower, the Mezzanine Borrower, the Operating Lessee Pledgor and Borrower’s, Mortgage Borrower’s and Mezzanine Borrower’s rights and obligations under the Loan, the Mortgage Loan and the Mezzanine Loan (but excluding any forward-looking budgets and projections) (collectively, with the Provided Information, the “Covered Disclosure Information”), does not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements made, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, (B) indemnifying Lender (and for purposes of this Section 11.2(c), Lender hereunder shall include its officers and directors), the Affiliate of Lender (“Lender Affiliate”) that has filed the registration statement relating to the Securitization (the “Registration Statement”), each of its directors, each of its officers who have signed the Registration Statement and each Person that controls the Affiliate within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act (collectively, the “Lender Group”), and Lender Affiliate, and any other placement agent or underwriter with respect to the Securitization, each of their respective directors and each Person who controls Lender Affiliate or any other placement agent or underwriter within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act and Section 20 of the Exchange Act (collectively, the “Underwriter Group”) for any Liabilities to which Lender, the Lender Group or the Underwriter Group may become subject insofar as the Liabilities arise out of or are based upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of any material fact contained in the Covered Disclosure Information or arise out of or are based upon the omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated in the Covered Disclosure Information or necessary in order to make the statements in the Covered Disclosure Information, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading and (C) agreeing to reimburse Lender, the Lender Group and/or the Underwriter Group for any out-of-pocket legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by Lender, the Lender Group and the Underwriter Group in connection with investigating or defending the Liabilities; provided, however, that (I) Borrower and Guarantor will be liable in any such case under Section 11.2(b) or clauses (B) or (C) above only to the extent that any such loss claim, damage or liability arises out of or is based upon
-146-
any such untrue statement or omission made therein in reliance upon and in conformity with information furnished to Lender by or on behalf of Borrower in connection with the preparation of the Disclosure Document or in connection with the underwriting or closing of the Loan, including, without limitation, financial statements of Borrower, operating statements and rent rolls with respect to the Property or is contained under the section headings referenced in clause (A) above (but, in each case, excluding forward-looking budgets and projections), (II) Borrower and Guarantor shall not be obligated to provide the certification set forth in clause (A) above or be liable under Section 11.2(b) or clause (B) or (C) above if Borrower has not been afforded three (3) Business Days to review and comment on the applicable sections of the applicable Disclosure Document, and (III) Borrower and Guarantor shall not be liable under Section 11.2(b) or clause (B) or (C) above with respect to any statement or omission if Borrower shall have notified Lender as to the existence of such untrue statement or omission within a reasonable period of time prior to pricing of the securities and Lender shall have failed to cause such Disclosure Document to be revised accordingly. The indemnification provided for in clauses (B) and (C) above shall be effective (subject to the proviso set forth in the immediately preceding sentence) whether or not the indemnification agreement described above is provided. The aforesaid indemnity will be in addition to any liability which Borrower may otherwise have.
(d) In connection with filings under Exchange Act and/or the Securities Act (subject to the same provisos set forth in clauses (I), (II) and (III) of Section 11.2(c)) Borrower shall (i) indemnify Lender, the Lender Group and the Underwriter Group for Liabilities to which Lender, the Lender Group or the Underwriter Group may become subject insofar as the Liabilities arise out of or are based upon the omission or alleged omission to state in the Covered Disclosure Information a material fact required to be stated in the Covered Disclosure Information in order to make the statements in the Covered Disclosure Information, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading and (ii) reimburse Lender, the Lender Group or the Underwriter Group for any out-of-pocket legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by Lender, the Lender Group or the Underwriter Group in connection with defending or investigating the Liabilities.
(e) Promptly after receipt by an Indemnified Person under this Section 11.2 of notice of the commencement of any action, such Indemnified Person will, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against the Indemnifying Person under this Section 11.2, notify the Indemnifying Person in writing of the commencement thereof (but the omission to so notify the Indemnifying Person will not relieve the Indemnifying Person from any liability which the Indemnifying Person may have to any Indemnified Person hereunder except to the extent that failure to notify causes prejudice to the Indemnifying Person). In the event that any action is brought against any Indemnified Person, and it notifies the Indemnifying Person of the commencement thereof, the Indemnifying Person will be entitled, jointly with any other Indemnifying Person, to participate therein and, to the extent that it (or they) may elect by written notice delivered to the Indemnified Person promptly after receiving the aforesaid notice from such Indemnified Person, to assume the defense thereof with counsel satisfactory to such Indemnified Person. After notice from the Indemnifying Person to such Indemnified Person under this Section 11.2, such Indemnifying Person shall pay for any legal or other expenses subsequently incurred by such Indemnifying Person in connection with the defense thereof; provided, however, if the defendants in any such action include both the indemnified party and the Indemnifying Person and the indemnified party shall have reasonably concluded that there
-147-
are any legal defenses available to it and/or other indemnified parties that are different from or additional to those available to the Indemnifying Person, the indemnified party or parties shall have the right to select separate counsel to assert such legal defenses and to otherwise participate in the defense of such action on behalf of such indemnified party at the cost of the Indemnifying Person.
After notice from such Indemnifying Person to such Indemnified Person of its election to so assume the defense of such claim or action, such Indemnifying Person shall not be liable to such Indemnified Person for any legal or other expenses subsequently incurred by such Indemnified Person in connection with the defense thereof, unless, (1) if the defendants in any such action include both an Indemnified Person and any of the Indemnifying Persons and an Indemnified Person shall have reasonably concluded that there are any legal defenses available to it and/or other Indemnified Persons that are different from or additional to those available to an Indemnifying Person, the Indemnified Person or Persons shall have the right to select separate counsel to assert such legal defenses and to otherwise participate in the defense of such action on behalf of such Indemnified Person at the expense of the Indemnifying Persons, (2) the Indemnifying Person shall not have employed counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Person to represent the Indemnified Person within a reasonable time after notice of commencement of the action (provided that the Indemnified Person has provided the Indemnifying Person with ten (10) days prior written notice that it intends to exercise its rights pursuant to this clause (2) and the Indemnifying Person has not employed counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Person within such 10-day period), or (3) the Indemnifying Person has authorized in writing the employment of counsel of the Indemnified Person at the expense of the Indemnifying Person.
Without the prior written consent of the applicable Indemnified Persons (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld), no Indemnifying Person shall settle or compromise or consent to the entry of any judgment in any pending or threatened claim, action, suit or proceeding in respect of which indemnification may be sought hereunder (whether or not any Indemnified Person is an actual or potential party to such claim, action, suit or proceeding) unless (i) such Indemnifying Person shall have given the Indemnified Persons reasonable prior written notice thereof and shall have obtained an unconditional release of each Indemnified Person from all liability arising out of such claim, action, suit or proceedings and (ii) such settlement, compromise or judgment does not include a statement as to, or admission of, fault, culpability or a failure to act by or on behalf of any Indemnified Person. As long as an Indemnifying Person has complied with its obligations to defend and indemnify hereunder, such Indemnifying Person shall not be liable for any settlement made by any Indemnified Person(s) without the consent of such Indemnifying Person (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed). Notwithstanding the foregoing sentence, if at any time an Indemnified Person shall have requested that an Indemnifying Person reimburse the Indemnified Person for fees and expenses of counsel to which the Indemnified Person is entitled pursuant to this Agreement, the Indemnifying Person shall be liable for any settlement, compromise or entry of a judgment in connection with any proceeding effected without its written consent if (i) such settlement, compromise or judgment is entered into or entered, as applicable, more than ninety (90) days after receipt by the Indemnifying Person of such request, (ii) the Indemnifying Person shall not have reimbursed the Indemnified Person in accordance with such request prior to the date of such settlement, compromise or judgment, and (iii) such settlement, compromise or judgment does not include a statement as to, or an admission of, fault, culpability or failure to act by or on behalf
-148-
of any such Indemnifying Person; provided, that the Indemnified Person has provided the Indemnifying Person with five (5) Business Days prior notice of its intent to exercise its rights under this sentence.
The Indemnifying Person agrees that if any indemnification or reimbursement sought pursuant to this Agreement is judicially determined to be unenforceable for any reason or is insufficient to hold any Indemnified Person harmless (with respect only to the Liabilities from which such Indemnified Person is entitled to be held harmless under this Agreement), then the Indemnifying Persons, on the one hand, and such Indemnified Person, on the other hand, shall contribute to the Liabilities for which such indemnification or reimbursement is held unavailable or is insufficient: (x) in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative benefits to the Indemnifying Persons, on the one hand, and such Indemnified Person, on the other hand, from the transactions to which such indemnification or reimbursement relates; or (y) if the allocation provided by clause (x) above is not permitted by applicable law, in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only the relative benefits referred to in clause (x) but also the relative faults of the Indemnifying Persons, on the one hand, and all Indemnified Persons, on the other hand, as well as any other equitable considerations. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no party found liable for a fraudulent misrepresentation shall be entitled to contribution from any other party who is not also found liable for such fraudulent misrepresentation, and the Indemnifying Persons agree that in no event shall the amount to be contributed by the Indemnified Persons collectively pursuant to this paragraph exceed the amount of the fees (by underwriting discount or otherwise) actually received by such Indemnified Persons in connection with the closing of the Loan or the Securitization.
The Indemnifying Persons agree that the indemnification, contribution and reimbursement obligations set forth in this Agreement shall apply whether or not any Indemnified Person is a formal party to any lawsuits, claims or other proceedings. The Indemnifying Persons further agree that the Indemnified Persons are intended third party beneficiaries under this Agreement.
(f) The liabilities and obligations of each of Borrower, Guarantor and Lender under this Section 11.2 shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the satisfaction and discharge of the Debt. Failure by Borrower and/or Guarantor to comply with the provisions of Section 11.1 and/or Section 11.2 within the timeframes specified therein, and if such failure continues for an additional ten (10) Business Days after notice from Lender to Borrower of such failure shall, at Lender’s option, constitute a breach of the terms thereof and/or an Event of Default.
Section 11.3. Reserves/Escrows. In the event that Securities are issued in connection with the Loan, all funds held by Lender in escrow or pursuant to reserves in accordance with this Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall be deposited in “eligible accounts” at “eligible institutions” and, to the extent applicable, invested in “permitted investments” as then defined and required by the Rating Agencies.
Section 11.4. Servicer.

Section 11.7. Conversion to Registered Form. At the request of Lender, Borrower shall appoint, as its agent, a registrar and transfer agent (the “Registrar”) reasonably acceptable to Lender which shall maintain, subject to such reasonable regulations as it shall provide, such books and records as are necessary for the registration and transfer of the Note in a manner that shall cause the Note to be considered to be in registered form for purposes of Section 163(f) of the Code. The option to convert the Note into registered form once exercised may not be revoked. Any agreement setting out the rights and obligation of the Registrar shall be subject to the reasonable approval of Lender. Borrower may revoke the appointment of any particular person as Registrar, effective upon the effectiveness of the appointment of a replacement Registrar. The Registrar shall not be entitled to any fee from Borrower or Lender or any other lender in respect of transfers of the Note and other Loan Documents.
Section 11.8. Syndication. Without limiting Lender’s rights under Section 11.1, the provisions of this Section 11.8 shall only apply in the event that the Loan is syndicated in accordance with the provisions of this Section 11.8 set forth below.
(a) Sale of Loan, Co-Lenders, Participations and Servicing.
(i) Lender and any Co-Lender may, at their option, without Borrower’s consent (but with notice to Borrower), sell with novation all or any part of their right, title and interest in, and to, and under the Loan (the “Syndication”), to one or more additional lenders (each a “Co-Lender”). Each additional Co-Lender shall enter into an assignment and assumption agreement (the “Assignment and Assumption”) assigning a portion of Lender’s or Co-Lender’s rights and obligations under the Loan, and pursuant to which the additional Co-Lender accepts such assignment and assumes the assigned obligations. From and after the effective date specified in the Assignment and Assumption (i) each Co-Lender shall be a party hereto and to each Loan Document to the extent of the applicable percentage or percentages set forth in the Assignment and Assumption and, except as specified otherwise herein, shall succeed to the rights and obligations of Lender and the Co-Lenders hereunder and thereunder in respect of the Loan, and (ii) Lender, as lender and each Co-Lender, as applicable, shall, to the extent such rights and obligations have been assigned by it pursuant to such Assignment and Assumption, relinquish its rights and be released from its obligations hereunder and under the Loan Documents.
(ii) The liabilities of Lender and each of the Co-Lenders shall be several and not joint, and Lender’s and each Co-Lender’s obligations to Borrower under this Agreement shall be reduced by the applicable amount assigned under each such Assignment and Assumption. Neither Lender nor any Co-Lender shall be responsible for the obligations of any other Co-Lender. Lender and each Co-Lender shall be liable to Borrower only for their respective proportionate shares of the Loan.
(iii) Borrower agrees that it shall, in connection with any sale of all or any portion of the Loan, whether in whole or to an additional Co-Lender or Participant, within ten (10) Business Days after requested by Agent, furnish Agent with the certificates required under Sections 4.12 and 4.13 hereof and such other information as reasonably requested by any
-151-
additional Co-Lender or Participant in performing its due diligence in connection with its purchase of an interest in the Loan.
(iv) Citi (or an Affiliate of Citi) shall act as administrative agent for itself and the Co-Lenders (together with any successor administrative agent, the “Agent”) pursuant to this Section 11.8. Borrower acknowledges that Citi, as Agent, shall have the sole and exclusive authority to execute and perform this Agreement and each Loan Document on behalf of itself, as a Lender and as agent for itself and the Co-Lenders subject to the terms of the Co-Lending Agreement. Each Lender acknowledges that Citi, as Agent, shall retain the exclusive right to grant approvals and give consents with respect to all matters requiring consent hereunder. Except as otherwise provided herein, Borrower shall have no obligation to recognize or deal directly with any Co-Lender, and no Co-Lender shall have any right to deal directly with Borrower with respect to the rights, benefits and obligations of Borrower under this Agreement, the Loan Documents or any one or more documents or instruments in respect thereof. Borrower may rely conclusively on the actions of Citi as Agent to bind Citi and the Co-Lenders, notwithstanding that the particular action in question may, pursuant to this Agreement or the Co-Lending Agreement be subject to the consent or direction of some or all of the Co-Lenders. Citi may resign as Agent of the Co-Lenders, in its sole discretion, or if required to by the Co-Lenders in accordance with the term of the Co-Lending Agreement, in each case without the consent of but upon prior written notice to Borrower. Upon any such resignation, a successor Agent shall be determined pursuant to the terms of the Co-Lending Agreement. The term Agent shall include any successor Agent.
(v) Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary in this Agreement, the Agent shall not have any duties or responsibilities except those expressly set forth herein (and in the Co-Lending Agreement) and no covenants, functions, responsibilities, duties, obligations or liabilities of Agent shall be implied by or inferred from this Agreement, the Co-Lending Agreement, or any other Loan Document, or otherwise exist against Agent.
(vi) Except to the extent its obligations hereunder and its interest in the Loan have been assigned pursuant to one or more Assignments and Assumption instruments, Citi, as Agent, shall have the same rights and powers under this Agreement as any other Co-Lender and may exercise the same as though it were not Agent, respectively. The term “Co-Lender” or “Co-Lenders” shall, unless otherwise expressly indicated, include Citi in its individual capacity. Citi and the other Co-Lenders and their respective Affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to, act as trustee under indentures of, and generally engage in any kind of business with, Borrower, or any Affiliate of Borrower and any Person who may do business with or own securities of Borrower or any Affiliate of Borrower, all as if they were not serving in such capacities hereunder and without any duty to account therefor to each other.
(vii) If required by any Co-Lender, Borrower hereby agrees to execute and deliver (in exchange for the original Note being replaced) supplemental notes in the principal amount of such Co-Lender’s pro rata share of the Loan substantially in the form of the Note, and such supplemental note shall (i) be payable to order of such Co-Lender, (ii) be dated as of
-152-
the Closing Date, and (iii) mature on the Maturity Date. Such supplemental note shall provide that it evidences a portion of the existing indebtedness hereunder and under the Note and not any new or additional indebtedness of Borrower. The term “Note” as used in this Agreement and in all the other Loan Documents shall include all such supplemental notes.
(viii) Citi, as Agent, shall maintain at its domestic lending office or at such other location as Citi, as Agent, shall designate in writing to each Co-Lender and Borrower a copy of each Assignment and Assumption delivered to and accepted by it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Co-Lenders, the amount of each Co-Lender’s proportionate share of the Loan (including the principal amounts and stated interest owing to each Co-Lender) and the name and address of each Co-Lender’s agent for service of process (the “Register”). The entries in the Register shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error, and Borrower, Citi, as Agent, and the Co-Lenders may treat each person or entity whose name is recorded in the Register as a Co-Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement. The Register shall be available for inspection and copying by Borrower or any Co-Lender during normal business hours upon reasonable prior notice to the Agent. A Co-Lender may change its address and its agent for service of process upon written notice to Lender, as Agent, which notice shall only be effective upon actual receipt by Citi, as Agent, which receipt will be acknowledged by Citi, as Agent, upon request.
(ix) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, any financial institution or other entity may be sold a participation interest in the Loan by Lender or any Co-Lender without Borrower’s consent (such financial institution or entity, a “Participant”). No Participant shall have any rights under this Agreement, the Note or any of the Loan Documents and the Participant’s rights in respect of such participation shall be solely against Lender or Co-Lender, as the case may be, as set forth in the participation agreement executed by and between Lender or Co-Lender, as the case may be, and such Participant. Borrower may rely conclusively on the actions of Lender as Agent to bind Lender and any Participant, notwithstanding that the particular action in question may, pursuant to this Agreement or any participation agreement be subject to the consent or direction of some or all of the Participants. No participation shall relieve Lender or Co-Lender, as the case may be, from its obligations hereunder or under the Note or the Loan Documents and Lender or Co- Lender, as the case may be, shall remain solely responsible for the performance of its obligations hereunder. Each Lender or Co-Lender that sells a participation shall, acting solely for this purpose as agent of Borrower, maintain a register on which it enters the name and address of each participant and the principal amounts and stated interest of each Participant’s interest (the “Participant Register”); provided that no Lender or Co-Lender shall have any obligation to disclose all or any portion of the Participant Register to any Person (including the identity of any participant or any information relating to a Participant’s interest) except to the extent that such disclosure is necessary to establish that the applicable obligation is in registered form under Section 5f.103-1(c) of the U.S. Department of Treasury regulations. The entries in the Participant Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error. The Borrower, the Lenders and the Servicer may treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Participant Register pursuant to the terms hereof as the owner of such participation
-153-
for all purposes of this Agreement. Failure to make any such recordation, or any error in such recordation, however, shall not affect Borrower’s obligations in respect of the Loan.
(x) Notwithstanding any other provision set forth in this Agreement, Lender or any Co-Lender may at any time create a security interest in all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement (including, without limitation, amounts owing to it in favor of any Federal Reserve Bank in accordance with Regulation A of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System).
(b) Cooperation in Syndication.
(i) Borrower agrees to use (and cause its Affiliates to use) commercially reasonable efforts to assist Lender in completing a Syndication satisfactory to Lender. Such assistance shall include the following, in each case, as reasonably requested by Lender (i) direct contact between senior management and advisors of Borrower, Sponsor and Guarantor and the proposed Co-Lenders, (ii) provision of information for use in the preparation of a confidential information memorandum and other marketing materials to be used in connection with the Syndication, (iii) the hosting, with Lender, of one or more meetings of prospective Co-Lenders or with the Rating Agencies, and (iv) working with Lender to procure a rating for the Loan by the Rating Agencies.
(ii) Lender shall manage all aspects of the Syndication of the Loan, including decisions as to the selection of institutions to be approached and when they will be approached, when their commitments will be accepted, which institutions will participate (subject to the other provisions of this Agreement), the allocations of the commitments among the Co-Lenders and the amount and distribution of fees among the Co-Lenders. To assist Lender in its Syndication efforts, Borrower agrees promptly to prepare and provide to Lender all information with respect to Borrower, Mezzanine A Borrower, Mezzanine B Borrower, Mortgage Borrower, Manager, Guarantor, Sponsor, any Applicable SPE Component Entity (if any), Mezzanine Borrower, Operating Lessee Pledgor, the Applicable Collateral and the Properties contemplated hereby, including all financial information and projections (the “Projections”), as Lender may reasonably request in connection with the Syndication of the Loan. Borrower hereby represents and covenants that (i) all information other than the Projections (the “Information”) that has been or will be made available to Lender by Borrower or any of their representatives is or will be, when furnished, complete and correct in all material respects and does not or will not, when furnished, contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements contained therein not materially misleading in light of the circumstances under which such statements are made and (ii) the Projections that have been or will be made available to Lender by Borrower or any of their representatives have been or will be prepared in good faith based upon reasonable assumptions. Borrower understands that in arranging and syndicating the Loan, Lender, the Co-Lenders and, if applicable, the Rating Agencies, may use and rely on the Information and Projections without independent verification thereof.
-154-
(iii) If required in connection with the Syndication, Borrower hereby agrees that, in addition to complying with Section 11.1, it shall use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain and deliver reliance letters reasonably satisfactory to Lender with respect to the environmental assessments and reports delivered to Lender prior to the Closing Date, which will run to Lender, any Co-Lender and their respective successors and assigns.
Borrower shall be responsible for payments of its legal fees incurred in connection with compliance with the requests made under this Section.
(c) No Joint Venture. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein contained, neither Agent, Lender nor any Co-Lender by entering into this Agreement or by taking any action pursuant hereto, will be deemed a partner or joint venturer with Borrower.
(d) Voting Rights of Co-Lenders. Borrower acknowledges that the Co-Lending Agreement may contain provisions which require that amendments, waivers, extensions, modifications, and other decisions with respect to the Loan Documents shall require the approval of all or a number of the Co-Lenders holding in the aggregate a specified percentage of the Loan or any one or more Co-Lenders that are specifically affected by such amendment, waiver, extension, modification or other decision. Borrower’s rights and obligations hereunder are independent of the Co-Lending Agreement and remain unmodified by the terms and provisions thereof.
Section 11.9. Intentionally Omitted.
Section 11.10. Intercreditor Agreement. Lender, Mortgage Lender, Mezzanine A Lender and Mezzanine B Lender are or will be parties to a certain Intercreditor Agreement (the “Intercreditor Agreement”) memorializing their relative rights and obligations with respect to the Loan, the Mortgage Loan, the Mezzanine A Loan, the Mezzanine B Loan, Borrower, Mortgage Borrower, Mezzanine A Borrower, Mezzanine B Borrower, the Applicable Collateral and the Properties. Borrower hereby acknowledges and agrees that (i) such Intercreditor Agreement is intended solely for the benefit of Lender, Mortgage Lender, Mezzanine A Lender and Mezzanine B Lender and (ii) Borrower, Mortgage Borrower, Mezzanine A Borrower and Mezzanine B Borrower are not intended third-party beneficiaries of any of the provisions therein and shall not be entitled to rely on the provisions contained therein. Lender, Mortgage Lender, Mezzanine A Lender and Mezzanine B Lender shall have no obligation to disclose to Borrower the contents of the Intercreditor Agreement. Borrower’s obligations hereunder are independent of such Intercreditor Agreement and remain unmodified by the terms and provisions thereof.

Borrower hereby waives, to the extent permitted by applicable Legal Requirements, the benefit of all appraisement, valuation, stay, extension, reinstatement and redemption laws now or hereafter in force and all rights of marshalling in the event of any sale under the Pledge Agreement or the Collateral or any part thereof or any interest therein. Further, Borrower hereby expressly waives any and all rights of redemption from sale under any order or decree of foreclosure of the Pledge Agreement on behalf of Borrower, and on behalf of each and every person acquiring any interest in or title to the Collateral (or any portion thereof) subsequent to the date of the Pledge Agreement and on behalf of all persons to the extent permitted by applicable Legal Requirements.

-172-
Borrower, any such notice being expressly waived by Borrower to the extent permitted by applicable law, upon any amount becoming due and payable by Borrower hereunder (whether at the stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise), to set-off and appropriate and apply against such amount any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final), in any currency, and any other credits, indebtedness or claims, in any currency, in each case whether direct or indirect, absolute or contingent, matured or unmatured, at any time held or owing by Lender or any Affiliate thereof to or for the credit or the account of Borrower; provided however, Lender may only exercise such right during the continuance of an Event of Default. Lender agrees promptly to notify Borrower after any such set-off and application made by Lender; provided that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such set-off and application.
Section 17.19. Contributions and Waivers.
(a) As a result of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, each Borrower will benefit, directly and indirectly, from each Borrower’s obligation to pay the Debt and perform its obligations hereunder and under the other Loan Documents (collectively, the “Obligations”) and in consideration therefore each Borrower desires to enter into an allocation and contribution agreement among themselves as set forth in this Section to allocate such benefits among themselves and to provide a fair and equitable agreement to make contributions among each of Borrowers in the event any payment is made by any individual Borrower hereunder to Lender (such payment being referred to herein as a “Contribution,” and for purposes of this Section, includes any exercise of recourse by Lender against any Collateral of a Borrower and application of proceeds of such Collateral in satisfaction of such Borrower’s obligations, to Lender under the Loan Documents).
(b) Each Borrower shall be liable hereunder with respect to the Obligations only for such total maximum amount (if any) that would not render its Obligations hereunder or under any of the Loan Documents subject to avoidance under Section 548 of the Bankruptcy Code or any comparable provisions of applicable Legal Requirements.
(c) In order to provide for a fair and equitable contribution among Borrowers in the event that any Contribution is made by an individual Borrower (a “Funding Borrower”), such Funding Borrower shall be entitled to a reimbursement Contribution (“Reimbursement Contribution”) from all other Borrowers for all payments, damages and expenses incurred by that Funding Borrower in discharging any of the Obligations, in the manner and to the extent set forth in this Section.
(d) For purposes hereof, the “Benefit Amount” of any individual Borrower as of any date of determination shall be the net value of the benefits to such Borrower and its Affiliates from extensions of credit made by Lender to (i) such Borrower and (ii) to the other Borrowers hereunder and the Loan Documents to the extent such other Borrowers have guaranteed or mortgaged their property to secure the Obligations of such Borrower to Lender.
(e) Each Borrower shall be liable to a Funding Borrower in an amount equal to the greater of (i) the (A) ratio of the Benefit Amount of such Borrower to the total amount of Obligations, multiplied by (B) the amount of Obligations paid by such Funding Borrower, or (ii) ninety-five
-173-
percent (95%) of the excess of the fair saleable value of the property of such Borrower over the total liabilities of such Borrower (including the maximum amount reasonably expected to become due in respect of contingent liabilities) determined as of the date on which the payment made by a Funding Borrower is deemed made for purposes hereof (giving effect to all payments made by other Funding Borrowers as of such date in a manner to maximize the amount of such Contributions).
(f) In the event that at any time there exists more than one Funding Borrower with respect to any Contribution (in any such case, the “Applicable Contribution”), then Reimbursement Contributions from other Borrowers pursuant hereto shall be allocated among such Funding Borrowers in proportion to the total amount of the Contribution made for or on account of the other Borrowers by each such Funding Borrower pursuant to the Applicable Contribution. In the event that at any time any Borrower pays an amount hereunder in excess of the amount calculated pursuant to this Section above, that Borrower shall be deemed to be a Funding Borrower to the extent of such excess and shall be entitled to a Reimbursement Contribution from the other Borrowers in accordance with the provisions of this Section.
(g) Each Borrower acknowledges that the right to Reimbursement Contribution hereunder shall constitute an asset in favor of Borrower to which such Reimbursement Contribution is owing.
(h) No Reimbursement Contribution payments payable by a Borrower pursuant to the terms of this Section shall be paid until all amounts then due and payable by all of Borrowers to Lender, pursuant to the terms of the Loan Documents, are paid in full in cash. Nothing contained in this Section shall limit or affect in any way the Obligations of any Borrower to Lender under the Loan Documents.
(i) To the extent permitted by applicable Legal Requirements, each Borrower waives:
(i) any right to require Lender to proceed against any other Borrower or any other Person or to proceed against or exhaust any security held by Lender at any time or to pursue any other remedy in Lender’s power before proceeding against Borrower;
(ii) any defense based upon any legal disability or other defense of any other Borrower, any guarantor of any other Person or by reason of the cessation or limitation of the liability of any other Borrower or any guarantor from any cause other than full payment of all sums payable under the Loan Documents;
(iii) any defense based upon any lack of authority of the officers, directors, partners or agents acting or purporting to act on behalf of any other Borrower or any principal of any other Borrower or any defect in the formation of any other Borrower or any principal of any other Borrower;
(iv) any defense based upon any statute or rule of law which provides that the obligation of a surety must be neither larger in amount nor in any other respects more burdensome than that of a principal;
-174-
(v) any defense based upon any failure by Lender to obtain collateral for the indebtedness or failure by Lender to perfect a lien on any collateral;
(vi) presentment, demand, protest and notice of any kind;
(vii) any defense based upon any failure of Lender to give notice of sale or other disposition of any collateral to any other Borrower or to any other Person or any defect in any notice that may be given in connection with any sale or disposition of any collateral;
(viii) any defense based upon any failure of Lender to comply with applicable laws in connection with the sale or other disposition of any collateral, including any failure of Lender to conduct a commercially reasonable sale or other disposition of any collateral;
(ix) any defense based upon any use of cash collateral under Section 363 of the Bankruptcy Code;
(x) any defense based upon any agreement or stipulation entered into by Lender with respect to the provision of adequate protection in any bankruptcy proceeding;
(xi) any defense based upon any borrowing or any grant of a security interest under Section 364 of the Bankruptcy Code;
(xii) any defense based upon the avoidance of any security interest in favor of Lender for any reason;
(xiii) any defense based upon any bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, arrangement, readjustment of debt, liquidation or dissolution proceeding, including any discharge of, or bar or stay against collecting, all or any of the obligations evidenced by the Note or owing under any of the Loan Documents;
(xiv) any defense or benefit based upon Borrower’s, or any other party’s, resignation of the portion of any obligation secured by the Pledge Agreement to be satisfied by any payment from any other Borrower or any such party; and
(xv) all rights and defenses arising out of an election of remedies by Lender even though the election of remedies, such as non-judicial foreclosure with respect to security for the Loan or any other amounts owing under the Loan Documents, has destroyed Borrower’s rights of subrogation and reimbursement against any other Borrower.
(j) Each Borrower hereby restates and makes the waivers made by Guarantor in the Guaranty for the benefit of Lender. Such waivers are hereby incorporated by reference as if fully set forth herein (and as if applicable to each Borrower) and shall be effective for all purposes under the Loan (including, without limitation, in the event that any Borrower is deemed to be a surety or guarantor of the Debt (by virtue of each Borrower being co-obligors and jointly and severally liable hereunder, by virtue of each Borrower encumbering its interest in the Property for the benefit or debts of the other Borrowers in connection herewith or otherwise)).
-175-
Section 17.20. Cross-Default; Cross-Collateralization. Borrower acknowledges that Lender has made the Loan to Borrower upon the security of its collective interest in the Collateral and in reliance upon the aggregate of the Collateral taken together being of greater value as collateral security than the sum of each equity pledge taken separately. Borrower agrees that each of the Loan Documents are and will be cross collateralized and cross defaulted with each other so that (i) an Event of Default under any of Loan Documents shall constitute an Event of Default under each of the other Loan Documents; (ii) an Event of Default hereunder shall constitute an Event of Default under the Pledge Agreement; (iii) the Pledge Agreement shall constitute security for the Note as if a single blanket lien were placed on all of the Collateral as security for the Note; and (iv) such cross collateralization shall in no event be deemed to constitute a fraudulent conveyance and Borrower waives any claims related thereto.
Section 17.21. Waiver of Rights, Defenses and Claims. Borrower hereby unconditionally and irrevocably waives all rights, defenses and claims that Borrower may have based on the fact that certain terms and provisions of the Mortgage Loan Agreement, the Mezzanine A Loan Agreement and the Mezzanine B Loan Agreement, including without limitation certain definitions set forth in Section 1.1 of the Mortgage Loan Agreement, the Mezzanine A Loan Agreement and the Mezzanine B Loan Agreement, are incorporated into this Agreement by reference (other than rights, defenses and claims arising under such terms and conditions).
Section 17.22. Borrower Affiliate Lender. Lender agrees that the Lender Documents shall not prohibit or restrict Affiliates of Borrower from purchasing or otherwise acquiring and owning any direct or indirect interest in the Loan or in any of the Mezzanine Loans (or otherwise impose additional restrictions or requirements on a transfer to such Affiliate of Borrower other than restrictions or requirements on a transfer that are imposed on other purchasers of the Loan or the Mezzanine Loans), provided, however, that the Lender Documents may include restrictions on the exercise of the rights and remedies by such Affiliates of Borrower under the Loan and the Mezzanine Loans including, without limitation, (a) restrictions on any such Affiliate having the right to, or exercising, directly or indirectly, any control, decision-making power, voting rights, notice and cure rights, or other rights that would otherwise benefit a holder by virtue of its ownership or control of any interest with respect to the Loan or any Mezzanine Loan, (b) restrictions on any such Affiliate’s approval and consent rights under any intercreditor agreement, (c) limitations on such Affiliate’s initiation of enforcement actions against equity collateral, (d) limitations on the making of protective advances, (e) restrictions on such Affiliate from making or bringing any claim, in its capacity as a holder of any direct or indirect interest in the Loan or any Mezzanine Loan against Lender, any Mezzanine Lender or any agent of any of the foregoing with respect to the duties and obligations of such Person under the Loan Documents, any Mezzanine Loan Documents, any intercreditor agreement or any applicable co-lender agreement and (f) restrictions on such Affiliate's access to any electronic platform for the distribution of materials or information among the Lender and the Mezzanine Lender, “asset status reports” or any correspondence or materials or notices of or participation in any discussions, meetings or conference calls (among Lender and the Mezzanine Lenders, any of their respective co-lenders or participants, or otherwise) regarding or relating to any workout discussions or litigation or foreclosure strategy (or potential litigation strategy) involving the Loan or the Mezzanine Loans, other than in its capacity as Borrower or a Mezzanine Borrower to the extent discussions and negotiations are being conducted with Borrower or such

Borrower certifies that any certificate delivered by Mortgage Borrower to Mortgage Lender pursuant to the Mortgage Loan Documents (including any certified financial statement or rent roll) shall be accurate and complete in all material respects, and Lender may rely on a copy thereof as if such certificate had been certified by Borrower and delivered directly by Borrower to Lender.
(b) Communications with Mortgage Lender. Lender shall have the right, at any time, to communicate with Mortgage Lender regarding the Property, the Collateral, the Loan, the Mortgage Loan, or any other matter without notice to or permission from Borrower or any Borrower Party. Such communications may include disclosure of information and reports received from any Borrower Party or Manager, and discussions relating to amending (or declining to amend) the terms of the Loan and Mortgage Loan, issuing (or declining to issue) consents under the Loan and Mortgage Loan, and enforcing (or declining to enforce) rights under the Loan and Mortgage Loan. Lender and Mortgage Lender may enter into such communications with a view solely to the advancement and protection of their own respective interests, without any duty or obligation to any Borrower Party. In no event shall either Lender or Mortgage Lender have any liability to Borrower or any Borrower Party on account of communications between Lender and Mortgage Lender. Neither Lender nor Mortgage Lender shall have any obligation to disclose to Borrower or any Borrower Party the existence or contents of such communications.
(c) Mortgage Loan Estoppels. Borrower shall or shall cause Mortgage Borrower to from time to time, use reasonable efforts to obtain from Mortgage Lender such estoppel certificates with respect to the status of the Mortgage Loan and compliance by Mortgage Borrower with the terms of the Mortgage Loan Documents as may reasonably be requested by Lender. In the event or to the extent that Mortgage Lender is not legally obligated to deliver such estoppel certificates and is unwilling to deliver the same, or is legally obligated to deliver such estoppel certificates but breaches such obligation, then Borrower shall not be in breach of this provision so long as Borrower furnishes to Lender estoppels executed by Borrower or Mortgage Borrower, each expressly representing to Lender the information requested by Lender regarding the status of the Mortgage Loan and the compliance by Mortgage Borrower with the terms of the Mortgage Loan Documents. Borrower shall indemnify, defend, and hold harmless Lender from and against all Losses which may be imposed on, incurred by, or asserted against Lender based in whole or in part upon any fact, event, condition, or circumstances relating to the Mortgage Loan which was misrepresented in such estoppel certificate executed by Borrower or Mortgage Borrower.
(d) Refinancing of Mortgage Loan. Without obtaining the prior written consent of Lender, Borrower shall not cause or permit Mortgage Borrower to refinance the entire Mortgage
-182-
Loan unless such refinancing is in an amount sufficient to repay the entire Debt and the proceeds of the refinance are so used to repay the entire Debt.
(e) Reserved.
(f) Modification of Mortgage Loan Documents. Borrower shall not permit Mortgage Borrower to enter into or be bound by any new Mortgage Loan Documents after the date hereof, agree to any modifications, consolidation, restatement, or waiver of any existing Mortgage Loan Documents, grant to Mortgage Lender any consent or waiver, or exercise any remedy available to Mortgage Borrower under the Mortgage Loan Documents or any right or election under the Mortgage Loan Documents, in each case without the prior written approval of Lender. Borrower shall provide Lender with a copy of any amendment or modification of, or waiver or consent granted under, the Mortgage Loan Documents within five (5) days after its receipt thereof.
(g) Deed in Lieu of Foreclosure. Without the express prior written consent of Lender, Borrower shall not, and Borrower shall not cause, suffer or permit Mortgage Borrower to, enter into, execute, deliver, or consent to, as the case may be, any deed-in-lieu or consensual foreclosure with or for the benefit of Mortgage Lender or any of its Affiliates, successors, or designees; and delivery of a deed-in-lieu of foreclosure shall be construed as a Transfer that is not permitted hereunder.
(h) Independent Approval Rights. If any action, proposed action or other decision is consented to or approved by Mortgage Lender, such consent or approval shall not be binding or controlling on Lender. Borrower acknowledges and agrees that (i) the risks of Mortgage Lender in making the Mortgage Loan are different from the risks of Lender 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) Lender 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 Lender of a requested consent or approval shall not create any liability or other obligation of Lender if the denial of such consent or approval results directly or indirectly in a default under the Mortgage Loan, and Borrower hereby waives any claim of liability against Lender arising from any such denial unless Lender 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 Lender.
(i) In the event Mortgage Lender has the right to approve any Extraordinary Operating Expense (as defined in the Mortgage Loan Agreement), Lender shall also have such right on the same terms.
(j) Borrower shall not, nor shall any Borrower Party, seek the substantive consolidation of Borrower or Mortgage Borrower with any other Person in any proceeding under the Bankruptcy Code. Borrower acknowledges, and agrees that it shall be estopped to deny, that in agreeing to make the Loan, Lender is placing substantial reliance on the separate existence of Borrower and each Borrower Party as independent economic units, separate and distinct from each other and from
-183-
any other Person, each with its own separate assets, liabilities, financial condition, and business purpose.

(c) Mezzanine A Loan Estoppels. Borrower shall or shall cause Mezzanine A Borrower to from time to time, use reasonable efforts to obtain from Mezzanine A Lender such estoppel certificates with respect to the status of the Mezzanine A Loan and compliance by Mezzanine A

In the event or to the extent that Mezzanine A Lender is not legally obligated to deliver such estoppel certificates and is unwilling to deliver the same, or is legally obligated to deliver such estoppel certificates but breaches such obligation, then Borrower shall not be in breach of this provision so long as Borrower furnished to Lender estoppels executed by Borrower or Mezzanine A Borrower, each expressly representing to Lender the information requested by Lender regarding the status of the Mezzanine A Loan and the compliance by Mezzanine A Borrower with the terms of the Mezzanine A Loan Documents. Borrower shall indemnify, defend, and hold harmless Lender from and against all Losses which may be imposed on, incurred by, or asserted against Lender based in whole or in part upon any fact, event, condition, or circumstances relating to the Mezzanine A Loan which was misrepresented in such estoppel certificate executed by Borrower or Mezzanine A Borrower.

Borrower shall provide Lender with a copy of any amendment or modification of, or waiver or consent granted under, the Mezzanine A Loan Documents within five (5) days after its receipt thereof.
(g) Assignment in Lieu of Foreclosure. Without the express prior written consent of Lender, Borrower shall not, and Borrower shall not cause, suffer or permit Mezzanine A Borrower to, enter into, execute, deliver, or consent to, as the case may be, any assignment-in-lieu or consensual foreclosure with or for the benefit of Mezzanine A Lender or any of its Affiliates, successors, or designees; and delivery of an assignment-in-lieu of foreclosure shall be construed as a Transfer that is not permitted hereunder.
(h) Independent Approval Rights. If any action, proposed action or other decision is consented to or approved by Mezzanine A Lender, such consent or approval shall not be binding or controlling on Lender. Borrower acknowledges and agrees that (i) the risks of Mezzanine A Lender in making the Mezzanine A Loan are different from the risks of Lender in making the Loan, (ii) in determining whether to grant, deny, withhold or condition any requested consent or approval, Mezzanine A Lender and Lender may reasonably reach different conclusions, and (iii) Lender 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 Lender of a requested consent or approval shall not create any liability or other
-185-
obligation of Lender if the denial of such consent or approval results directly or indirectly in a default under the Mezzanine A Loan, and Borrower hereby waives any claim of liability against Lender arising from any such denial unless Lender has not complied with any applicable standard for consent.

(i) In the event Mezzanine A Lender has the right to approve any Extraordinary Operating Expense (as defined in the Mezzanine A Loan Agreement), Lender shall also have such right on the same terms.
(j) Borrower shall not, nor shall any Borrower Party, seek the substantive consolidation of Borrower or Mezzanine A Borrower with any other Person in any proceeding under the Bankruptcy Code. Borrower acknowledges, and agrees that it shall be estopped to deny, that in agreeing to make the Loan, Lender is placing substantial reliance on the separate existence of Borrower and each Borrower Party as independent economic units, separate and distinct from each other and from any other Person, each with its own separate assets, liabilities, financial condition, and business purpose.
Section 17.26. Further Additional Mezzanine B Loan Provisions.
(a) Mezzanine B Loan Notices, Communications, and Certificates.
(i) Promptly after receipt (but no more than five (5) Business Days after receipt), Borrower shall deliver or cause Mezzanine B Borrower to deliver to Lender a true, correct and complete copy of all material notices, demands, requests or material correspondence (including electronically transmitted items) received from Mezzanine B Lender by Mezzanine B Borrower or any Borrower Party under the Mezzanine B Loan Documents. If Mezzanine B Borrower delivers to Mezzanine B Lender any request for consent, approval, waiver, or modification with respect to the Mezzanine B Loan or any matter requiring the consent of Mezzanine B Lender, Borrower shall concurrently deliver to Lender a true and complete copy of such request and thereafter shall keep Lender reasonably and currently informed of the status of such request.
(ii) Unless directly delivered by Borrower to Lender, Borrower shall cause each Mezzanine B Borrower and Borrower Party to concurrently deliver to Lender all of the financial statements and material reports, certificates, notices, requests for consent, and related items delivered or required to be delivered by Mezzanine B Borrower or any other Borrower Party to Mezzanine B Lender under the Mezzanine B Loan Documents as and when due under the Mezzanine B Loan Documents.

Lender and Mezzanine B Lender may enter into such communications with a view solely to the advancement and protection of their own respective interests, without any duty or obligation to any Borrower Party. In no event shall either Lender or Mezzanine B Lender have any liability to Borrower or any Borrower Party on account of communications between Lender and Mezzanine B Lender. Neither Lender nor Mezzanine B Lender shall have any obligation to disclose to Borrower or any Borrower Party the existence or contents of such communications.
(c) Mezzanine B Loan Estoppels.

(d) Refinancing of Mezzanine B Loan.
