II. GENERAL
Section 2.1 The Loan.
2.1.1 Commitment. Subject to and upon the terms and conditions set
forth herein, including the conditions precedent set forth in Section 3.1,
Lender hereby agrees to make the Loan to Borrower on the Closing Date, in the
aggregate original principal amount set forth in the Note and which Loan shall
mature on the Stated Maturity Date. Borrower hereby agrees to accept the Loan on
the Closing Date, subject to and upon the terms and conditions set forth herein.
2.1.2 Disbursement to Borrower. Borrower may request and receive only
one borrowing hereunder in respect of the Loan. Borrower shall receive the Loan
upon the Closing, subject to the direction given by Borrower as to the
application of Loan proceeds for the uses set forth in Section 2.1.4. Any amount
borrowed and repaid hereunder in respect of the Loan may not be reborrowed.
2.1.3 The Note. The Loan shall be evidenced by the Note, in the
aggregate original principal amount of the Loan. The Note shall bear interest as
provided therein. The Note shall be subject to repayment as provided in Section
2.3, shall be entitled to the benefits of this Agreement and shall be secured by
the Mortgages and the other Loan Documents.
2.1.4 Use of Proceeds of Loan. Borrower shall use the proceeds of the
Loan first to (i) repay and discharge any existing loans relating to the
Properties, (ii) fund the Tax and Insurance Escrow Fund, the Capital Reserve
Fund and the Required Repair Fund, and (iii) pay costs and expenses incurred in
connection with the Closing of the Loan, as approved by Lender; and for general
Borrower purposes.
Section 2.2 Interest; Monthly Payments.
2.2.1 Generally. (a) From the date hereof to but not including the
Optional Prepayment Date, Borrower shall pay interest on the outstanding
principal balance of the Loan at the Interest Rate.
(b) On the Closing Date, Borrower shall (i) make the Initial
Prepayment of the Loan and (ii) pay interest on the outstanding principal
balance of the Loan after the Initial Prepayment from the Closing Date through
March 10, 1997. Commencing with the Payment Date on April 11. 1997 and on each
and every Payment Date thereafter through and including March 11, 1999, Borrower
shall make payments of interest only on the then outstanding principal balance
of the Loan at the Interest Rate. Commencing with the Payment Date on April 11,
1999 and on each and every Payment Date thereafter through and including the
Maturity Date, the principal amount of the Loan and interest thereon at the
Interest Rate shall be payable in equal monthly installments of $355,235.77 (the
"Monthly Debt Service Payment Amount"); such Monthly Debt Service Payment Amount
being based on the Interest Rate and a 264-month amortization schedule. The
15
Monthly Debt Service Payment Amount due on any Payment Date shall first be
applied to the payment of interest accrued from the eleventh (11th) day of the
month preceding the Payment Date through the tenth (10th) day of the month in
which the Payment Date occurs, notwithstanding that the Payment Date may not
have been the eleventh (11th) day of such month because the eleventh (11th) day
of such month is not a Business Day. The remainder of such Monthly Debt Service
Payment Amount shall be applied to the reduction of the outstanding principal
balance of the Note.
(c) From and after the Optional Prepayment Date, interest on the Loan
shall accrue at the Revised Interest Rate and shall be payable as provided in
Sections 2.2.2 and 2.2.3.
2.2.2 Accrued Interest. From and after the Optional Prepayment Date,
all interest accruing in respect of the Note in excess of the Interest Rate
("Accrued Interest") shall, to the extent not paid, be deferred, be added to the
Debt and, to the extent permitted by applicable law, accrue interest at the
Revised Interest Rate, compounded monthly. All Accrued Interest shall be due and
payable on the Maturity Date.
2.2.3 Property Cash Flow Allocation. (a) Commencing on April 11, 1997
and continuing on each Payment Date thereafter through the Optional Prepayment
Date, except during the continuance of an Event of Default, any Rents deposited
into the Deposit Account (or otherwise received by Borrower) during the
immediately preceding calendar month shall be applied by Lender as follows in
the following order of priority:
(i) First, to make required payments to the Tax and Insurance Escrow Fund;
(ii) Second, to Lender to pay interest only on the Loan up to and
including the March 11, 1999 Payment Date, and the Monthly Debt
Service Payment Amount on each Payment Date thereafter (plus, if
applicable, interest at the Default Rate);
(iii) Third, to make required payments to the Capital Reserve Fund;
(iv) Fourth, payments for Approved Operating Expenses for any Property for
which there is no Operating Lease; and
(v) Lastly, payments to (or for the account of) Borrower of any excess
amounts.
(b) Commencing on the first Payment Date occurring after the Optional
Prepayment Date and continuing on each Payment Date thereafter until the entire
Debt has been paid in full, and at any time during the continuance of an Event
of Default, any Rents deposited into the Deposit Account (or otherwise received
by Borrower) during the immediately preceding calendar month shall be applied by
Lender as follows in the following order of priority:
(i) First to make required payments to the Tax and Insurance Escrow Fund;
16
(ii) Second, to Lender to pay the Monthly Debt Service Payment Amount
(plus, if applicable, interest at the Default Rate);
(iii) Third, to make required payments to the Capital Reserve Fund;
(iv) Fourth, payments for Approved Operating Expenses for any Property for
which there is no Operating Lease;
(v) Fifth, payments to Lender to prepay the outstanding principal balance
under the Note until paid in full;
(vi) Sixth, payments to Lender to be applied against Accrued Interest and
interest accrued thereon; and
(vii) Lastly, payments to Borrower of any excess amounts.
Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the failure of Borrower to make
all of the payments required under clauses (i) through (iv) above in full on
each Payment Date after the Optional Prepayment Date shall constitute a Default
under this Agreement. However, the failure of Borrower to prepay any principal
amount outstanding or to pay any Accrued Interest on a Payment Date as a result
of insufficient Rents for such payment shall not constitute a Default hereunder.
All Accrued Interest shall nonetheless be due and payable on the Maturity Date.
2.2.4 Default Rate. After the occurrence and during the continuance of
an Event of Default, the entire outstanding principal balance of the Loan shall
bear interest at the Default Rate, and shall be payable upon demand from time to
time, to the extent permitted by applicable law. Payment or acceptance of the
increased rates provided for in this subsection is not a permitted alternative
to timely payment and shall not constitute a waiver of any Default or Event of
Default or an amendment to this Agreement or any other Loan Document and shall
not otherwise prejudice or limit any rights or remedies of Lender.
Section 2.3 Loan Repayment and Defeasance.
2.3.1 Repayment. Borrower shall repay any outstanding principal
indebtedness of the Loan in full on the Maturity Date of the Loan, together with
interest thereon to (but excluding) the date of repayment. Other than the
Initial Prepayment and as set forth in Sections 2.3.2 and 2.3.3 below, Borrower
shall have no right to prepay all or any portion of Loan during the period
commencing on the Closing Date to but not including the third Payment Date prior
to the Optional Prepayment Date. From and after the third Payment Date prior to
the Optional Prepayment Date, the Loan may be prepaid in whole or in part
without penalty or premium.
2.3.2 Mandatory Prepayments. The Loan is subject to mandatory
prepayment without premium or penalty, in certain instances of Insured Casualty
or Condemnation (each a "Casualty/Condemnation Prepayment"), in the manner and
to the extent set forth in Sections
17
7.1.2 and Section 7.1.3 hereof. Each Casualty/Condemnation Prepayment shall be
made on a Payment Date and include all accrued and unpaid interest on the amount
prepaid up to but not including such Payment Date or, if not paid on a Payment
Date, include interest that would have accrued on the amount prepaid to but not
including the next Payment Date.
2.3.3 Voluntary Defeasance of the Note. (a) Subject to the terms and
conditions set forth in this Section 2.3.3, Borrower may defease all or any
portion of the Loan evidenced by the Note (hereinafter, a "Defeasance");
provided, that no such Defeasance may occur prior to the Release Date. Each
Defeasance shall be subject, in each case, to the satisfaction of the following
conditions precedent:
(i) Borrower shall provide not less than thirty (30) days prior written
notice to Lender specifying a Payment Date (the "Defeasance Date") on
which the Defeasance is to occur. Such notice shall indicate the
principal amount of the Note to be defeased.
(ii) Borrower shall pay to Lender all accrued and unpaid interest on the
principal balance of the Note to but not including the Defeasance
Date. If for any reason the Defeasance Date is not a Payment Date,

to but not including the next Payment Date.
(iii) Borrower shall pay to Lender all other sums, not including scheduled
interest or principal payments, then due under the Note, this
Agreement, the Mortgages and the other Loan Documents.
(iv) No Event of Default shall exist.
(v) Borrower shall pay to Lender the required Defeasance Deposit for the
Defeasance.
(vi) In the event only a portion of the Loan evidenced by the Note is the
subject of the Defeasance, Borrower shall execute and deliver all
necessary documents to amend and restate the Note and issue two
substitute notes: one having a principal balance equal to the defeased
portion of the original Note (the "Defeased Note") and one note having
a principal balance equal to the undefeased portion of the original
Note (the "Undefeased Note"). The Defeased Note and Undefeased Note
shall have identical terms as the Note, except for the principal
balance. A Defeased Note cannot be the subject of any further
Defeasance.
(vii) Borrower shall execute and deliver a security agreement, in form and
substance satisfactory to Lender, creating a first priority lien on
the Defeasance Deposit and the U.S. Obligations purchased with the
Defeasance Deposit in accordance with this provision of this Section
2.3.3 (the "Security Agreement").
(viii) Borrower shall deliver an opinion of counsel for Borrower in form
satisfactory to Lender in its reasonable discretion stating, among
other things, that (A) Lender has a perfected first
18
priority security interest in the Defeasance Deposit and the U.S.
Obligations delivered by Borrower and (B) said U.S. Obligations have
been validly assigned to the REMIC Trust.
(ix) Lender shall receive evidence in writing from the applicable Rating
Agencies to the effect that such Defeasance will not result in a
reduction, withdrawal or requalification of the ratings in effect
immediately prior to such Defeasance for the Securities issued in
connection with the Securitization which are then outstanding.
(x) If required by the applicable Rating Agencies, Borrower shall also
deliver or cause to be delivered a non-consolidation opinion with
respect to the Successor Borrower in form and substance satisfactory
to Lender and the applicable Rating Agencies.
(xi) Borrower shall deliver an Officer's Certificate certifying that the
requirements set forth in this Section 2.3.3(a) have been satisfied.

associated with a release of Lien as provided in Section 2.4 hereof
and reasonable attorney's fees and expenses.
(b) In connection with each Defeasance of all or any portion of the
Note, Borrower hereby appoints Lender as its agent and attorney-in-fact for the
purpose of using the Defeasance Deposit to purchase U.S. Obligations (which
purchases, if made by Lender, shall be made by Lender on an arms-length basis at
then prevailing market rates) which provide payments on or prior to, but as
close as possible to, all successive Payment Dates after the Defeasance Date
through and including the Optional Prepayment Date, in the case of a Defeasance
for the entire outstanding principal balance of the Note, or the Defeased Note,
in the case of a Defeasance for only a portion of the outstanding principal
balance of the Loan, as applicable (including, on the Optional Prepayment Date,
the outstanding principal balance of either the Note or the Defeased Note), and
in amounts equal to the scheduled payments due on such dates under the Note or
the Defeased Note, as applicable (the "Scheduled Defeasance Payments").
Borrower, pursuant to the Security Agreement or other appropriate document,
shall irrevocably authorize and direct that the payments received from the U.S.
Obligations may be made directly to Lender and applied to satisfy the
obligations of Borrower under the Note or the Defeased Note, as applicable. Any
portion of the Defeasance Deposit in excess of the amount necessary to purchase
the U.S. Obligations required by this Section 2.3(b) and satisfy Borrower's
obligations under Sections 2.3 or 2.4 shall be remitted to Borrower. Any amounts
received in respect of the U.S. Obligations in excess of the amounts necessary
to make monthly payments pursuant to Section 2.2 shall be retained by Lender
until
19
payment in full of the Loan. Semi-annual payments in respect of U.S. Obligations
shall be applied to payments under the Note or the Defeased Note, as applicable,
as the same become due thereunder.
(c) If requested by Borrower in connection with any Defeasance under
this Section 2.3.3, NACC shall establish or designate a successor entity (the
"Successor Borrower") and Borrower shall transfer and assign all obligations,
rights and duties under and to the Note or the Defeased Note, as applicable,
together with the pledged U.S. Obligations to such Successor Borrower. The
obligation of NACC to establish or designate a Successor Borrower shall be
retained by NACC notwithstanding the sale or transfer of this Agreement unless
such obligation is specifically assumed by the transferee. Such Successor
Borrower shall assume the obligations under the Note or the Defeased Note, as
applicable, and the Security Agreement and Borrower shall be relieved of its
obligations thereunder. Borrower shall pay $1,000 to any such Successor Borrower
as consideration for assuming the obligations under the Note or the Defeased
Note, as applicable, and the Security Agreement. Notwithstanding anything in
this Agreement to the contrary, no other assumption fee shall be payable upon a

but Borrower shall pay all costs and expenses incurred by Lender, including
Lender's reasonable attorneys' fees and expenses, incurred in connection
therewith.
Section 2.4 Release of Property. Except as set forth in this Section

2.4.1 Release of All of the Properties. (a) If Borrower has elected to
defease the Note in its entirety, and the requirements of Section 2.3 have been

sole source of collateral securing the Note.

with all Legal Requirements, (ii) will effect such release in accordance with
the terms of this Agreement, and (iii) will not impair or otherwise adversely
affect the Liens, security interests and other rights of Lender under the Loan

giving effect to such release and the Defeasance of the Note, the Debt Service
Coverage Ratio for all of the Properties then remaining subject to the Liens of

Ratio on the Closing Date and (ii) the Debt Service Coverage Ratio on the date
of the release of such Property.

partnership agreement or other agreement or instrument to which any Individual
Borrower is a party or by which any Individual Borrower's property or assets is
subject, nor will such action result in any violation of the provisions of any

financial condition, operations or business of any Individual Borrower from that
set forth in said financial statements.

commenced or, to Borrower's best knowledge, is contemplated with respect to all
or any portion of any Property or for the relocation of roadways providing

purposes prohibited by Legal Requirements or by the terms and conditions of this

such party.

incur, any indebtedness, secured or unsecured, direct or indirect,
absolute or contingent (including guaranteeing any obligation), other

one duly appointed member of its board of directors (an "Independent

to direct or cause the direction of the management and policies of a
person or entity, whether through ownership of voting securities, by
contract or otherwise.

"investment company" or a company "controlled" by an "investment company,"
within the meaning of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended; (ii) a
"holding company" or a "subsidiary company" of a "holding company" or an
"affiliate" of either a "holding company" or a "subsidiary company" within the

subject to any other federal or state law or regulation which purports to
restrict or regulate its ability to borrow money.
(ee) Fraudulent Transfer. No Individual Borrower has entered into
the Loan or any Loan Document with the actual intent to hinder, delay, or
defraud any creditor, and each Individual Borrower has received reasonably
equivalent value in exchange for its obligations under the Loan Documents.

saleable value of Borrower's assets exceeds and will, immediately following the
execution and delivery of the Loan Documents, exceed Borrower's total
liabilities, including subordinated, unliquidated, disputed or contingent
liabilities. The fair saleable value of Borrower's assets is and will,
immediately following the execution and delivery of the Loan Documents, be
greater than Borrower's probable liabilities, including the maximum amount of
its contingent liabilities or its debts as such debts become absolute and
matured. Each Individual Borrower's assets do not and, immediately following the
execution and delivery of the Loan Documents will not, constitute unreasonably
small capital to carry out its business as conducted or as proposed to be
conducted. Borrower does not intend to, and does not believe that it will, incur
debts and liabilities (including contingent liabilities and other commitments)
beyond its ability to pay such debts as they mature (taking into account the
timing and amounts to be payable on or in respect of obligations of Borrower).

Borrower is the General Partner. The REIT is the owner of all of the issued and
outstanding capital stock of the General Partner, all of which capital stock has
been validly issued, is fully paid and nonassessable. Such stock is owned by the
REIT free and clear of all mortgages, assignments, pledges and security
interests and free and clear of all warrants, options and rights to purchase.
Borrower has no obligation to any Person to purchase, repurchase or issue any
ownership interest in it.
32

correct and complete copies of the Management Agreements. As of the Closing

Lessee is not, and, to Borrower's best knowledge, Manager is not, in default
under any of the Management Agreements.
(hh) Operating Lease. Borrower has made available to Lender a
correct and complete copy of each Operating Lease. As of the Closing Date each
Operating Lease is unmodified and in full force and effect and Borrower is not,
and, to Borrower's knowledge, Lessee is not, in default under any Operating
Lease.
(ii) Franchise Agreements. Borrower has made available to Lender
a correct and complete copy of each Franchise Agreement and all amendments
thereto. As of the Closing Date, each Franchise Agreement has not been further
amended and is in full force and effect and Borrower is not, and, to Borrower's
knowledge, no franchisor is, in default under any such Franchise Agreement.
(jj) Contracts. Schedule 2 sets forth a description of each
contract or other agreement and management agreement (including all amendments
thereto) to which the Borrower or any Affiliate thereof or Lessee is a party
which is material to the value, utility, operation or legality of any Property,
other than Franchise Agreements, Management Agreements, Leases and any such
contract or agreement which may be terminated on thirty days' or less notice and
without any material penalty. The information set forth in such Schedule is
correct and complete in all material respects as of the date hereof. A correct
and complete copy of each contract or other agreement and management agreement
(including all such amendments) specified on Schedule 2, has been provided to
the Lender and each thereof is unmodified (except as set forth on Schedule 2)
and in full force and effect and no Individual Borrower nor, to Borrower's
knowledge, any other party to any thereof is in default thereunder.

the representations and warranties of Borrower set forth in Section 4.1 and
elsewhere in this Agreement and in the other Loan Documents shall survive for so
long as any amount remains owing to Lender under this Agreement or any of the
other Loan Documents by Borrower. All representations, warranties, covenants and
agreements made in this Agreement or in the other Loan Documents by Borrower
shall be deemed to have been relied upon by Lender notwithstanding any
investigation heretofore or hereafter made by Lender or on its behalf.
V. AFFIRMATIVE COVENANTS

and performance in full of all obligations of Borrower under the Loan Documents

otherwise be delinquent if not paid (provided, however, that Borrower is not
required to furnish such receipts for payment of Taxes in the event that such
Taxes have been paid by Lender pursuant to Section 7.3 hereof). Borrower shall
not suffer and shall promptly cause to be paid and disc harged any lien or
charge whatsoever which may be or become a lien or charge against any Property,
and shall promptly pay for all utility services provided to any Property. After
prior written notice to Lender, Borrower, at its own expense, may contest by
appropriate legal proceeding, promptly initiated and conducted in good faith and
with due diligence, the amount or validity or application in whole or in part of
any Taxes or Other Charges, provided that (i) no Default or Event of Default has

each individual Property for such Fiscal Year, and containing statements of
profit and loss for Borrower and the Properties in such detail as Lender may
request; provided, however, that separate financial statements for each
individual Property need not be audited so long as such statements are
accompanied by a report of such accountant, based upon procedures satisfactory
to Lender, tying such statements into the audited statements of Borrower. Such
statements shall set forth the income and expenses for the Properties for the
immediately preceding calendar year, including statements of annual Actual Net
Operating Income. Borrower's audited annual financial statements shall be

exists an event or circumstance which constitutes a Default or Event of Default
under the Loan Documents executed and delivered by, or applicable to, Borrower,

shall prepare and submit such Annual Budget by November 15 of each remaining

any Property for which there is no Operating Lease, an operating expense budget
(the "Operating Budget") showing, on a month-by-month basis, in reasonable
detail, each line item of the Borrower's anticipated income and Operating

shall provide for rental rates that are at or greater than existing local market
rates for space at hotel properties similar to the applicable Property. All
proposed Leases shall be on commercially reasonable terms and shall not contain
any terms which would materially adversely affect Lender's rights under the Loan
Documents. All Leases shall provide (either by the terms of the Lease or
pursuant to a subordination and non-disturbance agreement with Lender) that

that the lessee agrees to attorn to Lender Borrower (i) shall observe and
perform or cause to be performed the obligations imposed upon the lessor under
the Leases; (ii) shall enforce the terms, covenants and conditions contained in
the Leases upon the part of the lessee thereunder to be observed or performed;

execute and deliver at the request of Lender all such further assurances,
confirmations and assignments in connection with the Leases as Lender shall from
time to time reasonably require.
(v) Operation of the Properties. Borrower shall cause each of the
Properties to be leased to the Lessee pursuant to the Operating Lease and
managed by Lessee or by Manager pursuant to the Management Agreements (or such
other third-party managers approved by Lender pursuant to management agreements
approved as to form and substance by and in all respects acceptable to Lender).
Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that (A) there shall have occurred
and be continuing an Event of Default or (B) on the last day of any calendar
quarter, the Debt Service Coverage Ratio (using Actual Net Operating Income) is
less than 1.40 to 1.00, then, except as hereinafter provided, Lender may
instruct Borrower to (i) terminate the Operating Lease with respect to any or
all of the Properties and/or (ii) except as otherwise provided in the Management
Agreements, cause Lessee to terminate the Management Agreement with respect to
any or all of the Marriott Managed Properties, and may designate either a
replacement lessee or a hotel manager, as the case may be, acceptable to Lender
and willing to operate the Properties pursuant to terms and conditions and
pursuant to an Operating Lease or management agreement approved by Lender, and
except as hereinafter otherwise provided, Borrower shall so terminate the
Operating Lease and/or cause Lessee to terminate the Management Agreement(s) and
appoint or cause the appointment of such replacement lessee or manager. No
Individual Borrower shall (and no Individual Borrower shall permit Lessee to)
enter into any operating lease or property management agreement in respect of
any Property without Lender's prior written consent and unless any such
agreement contains a provision permitting such agreement to be terminated as

agreement substantially similar (and otherwise in form and substance
satisfactory to Lender) to the Lessee Subordination or the Manager
Subordination, as the case may be. Lender shall not have the right to require
the termination of the Operating Lease or any Management Agreement under the
circumstances described in the foregoing clause (B) if (x) no Event of Default
shall have occurred or be continuing and (y) within ten Business Days after the
end of the calendar quarter for which such circumstances have arisen. Borrower
shall defease a
40

principal place of business set forth on the first page of this Agreement

payment and performance in full of all obligations of Borrower under the Loan

supplement, alter or amend, or waive or release any of its rights and remedies
under the Operating Lease or any of the Management Agreements or Franchise
Agreements in any material respect.

liquidate, merge with or consolidate into another Person.

(e) Debt Cancellation. No Individual Borrower shall cancel or
otherwise forgive or release any claim or debt owed to such Individual Borrower
by any Person, except for adequate consideration and in the ordinary course of
such Individual Borrower's business in its reasonable judgment.

or be a party to, any transaction with an Affiliate of such Individual Borrower
or any of the partners of such Individual Borrower except in the ordinary course
of business and on terms which are fully disclosed to Lender in advance and are
no less favorable to such Individual Borrower or such Affiliate than would be
obtained in a comparable arm's-length transaction with an unrelated third party.
(g) Zoning. No Individual Borrower shall initiate or consent to any
zoning reclassification of any portion of any of any Property or seek any
variance under any existing zoning ordinance or use or permit the use of any

(1) written confirmation from the applicable Rating Agencies that such Transfers
will not cause a qualification, withdrawal or downgrading of the ratings in
effect immediately prior to such Transfer for the Securities issued in
connection with the Securitization which are then outstanding and (2) a
substantive non-consolidation opinion with respect to such Individual Borrower
in form satisfactory to Lender and the applicable Rating Agencies. Borrower

(30) days prior to the expiration of any expiring Policy, then Lender may
procure, but shall not be obligated to procure, such insurance and pay the
Insurance Premiums therefor, and Borrower agrees to reimburse Lender for the
cost of such Insurance Premiums promptly on demand. Within thirty (30) days
after request by Lender, Borrower shall obtain such increases in the amounts of
coverage required hereunder as may be reasonably requested by Lender, taking
into consideration changes in the value of money over time, changes in liability
laws, changes in prudent customs and practices, and the like.
(d) If any Property is damaged or destroyed, in whole or in part, by
fire or other casualty (an "Insured Casualty"), Borrower shall give prompt
notice thereof to Lender. Following the occurrence of an Insured Casualty,
Borrower, regardless of whether insurance proceeds are available, shall promptly
proceed to restore, repair, replace or rebuild the affected Property to be of
45
at least equal value and of substantially the same character as prior to such
damage or destruction, all to be effected in accordance with Legal Requirements.
The expenses incurred by Lender in the adjustment and collection of insurance
proceeds shall become part of the Debt and be secured hereby and shall be
reimbursed by Borrower to Lender upon demand.
7.1.2 Casualty and Application of Proceeds. (a) In case of loss or
damages covered by any of the Policies, the following provisions shall apply:
(i) In the event of an Insured Casualty that does not exceed
$250,000, Borrower may settle and adjust any claim without the consent of
Lender; provided that such adjustment is carried out in a competent and timely
manner. In such case, Borrower is hereby authorized to collect and receipt for
any such insurance proceeds.
(ii) In the event of an Insured Casualty that equals or exceeds
$250,000, Lender may settle and adjust any claim without the consent of Borrower
and agree with the insurance company or companies on the amount to be paid on
the loss and the proceeds of any such policy shall be due and payable solely to
Lender and held in escrow by Lender in accordance with the terms hereof.
(b) In the event of an Insured Casualty where the loss is in an
aggregate amount less than sixty percent (60%) of the Allocated Loan Amount for
any individual Property, and if, in the reasonable judgment of Lender, the
Property can be restored within six (6) months and prior to the maturity of the
Note (and prior to the expiration of the business interruption insurance) to an
economic unit not materially less valuable and not less useful than the same was
prior to the Insured Casualty, and after such restoration will adequately secure
the outstanding balance of the Allocated Loan Amount, then, if no Default or
Event of Default shall have occurred and be then continuing, the proceeds of
insurance (after reimbursement of any expenses incurred by Lender) shall be
applied to reimburse Borrower for the cost of restoring, repairing, replacing or
rebuilding the Property or part thereof subject to the Insured Casualty (the
"Restoration"), in the manner set forth herein. Borrower hereby covenants and
agrees to commence and diligently to prosecute such Restoration; provided that
(i) Borrower shall pay all costs (and if required by Lender, Borrower shall
deposit the total thereof with Lender in advance) of such Restoration in excess
of the net proceeds of insurance made available pursuant to the terms hereof;
(ii) the Restoration shall be done in compliance with all Legal Requirements;
and (iii) Lender shall have received evidence reasonably satisfactory to it
that, during the period of the Restoration, the sum of (A) income derived from
the applicable Property, as reasonably determined by Lender, plus (B) proceeds
of rent loss insurance or business interruption insurance, if any, to be paid,
plus (C) any amounts otherwise deposited by Borrower with Lender, will equal or
exceed the sum of (I) expenses in connection with the operation of such Property
and (II) the debt service under the portion of the Loan attributable to such
Property.
(c) Except as provided above, the proceeds of insurance collected upon
any Insured Casualty may, at the option of Lender in its sole discretion, be
applied to the payment of the Debt (up to the Release Amount for the Property so
affected together with any Yield Maintenance Premium applicable thereto to the
extent provided under Section 2.3.3) or applied to reimburse Borrower for the
cost of any Restoration, in the manner set forth below. Any such application to
the Debt shall be without any prepayment consideration except that if an Event
of Default has occurred
46
and is continuing at the time the insurance proceeds are received from the
insurance company, then Borrower shall pay to Lender an additional amount equal
to the Yield Maintenance Premium, if any, that would be required under Section
2.3.3 hereof if a Defeasance Deposit was to be made by Borrower in the case of a
Defeased Note equal to the amount of the insurance proceeds applied to the Debt.
After any such application to the Debt, the remaining principal balance
outstanding under the Note shall be reamortized over the remaining term thereof,
and the Allocated Loan Amount for the affected Property shall be reduced by the
principal reduction resulting from such application.
(d) If Borrower is entitled to reimbursement out of insurance proceeds
held by Lender, such proceeds shall be deposited by Lender into the
Casualty/Condemnation Subaccount and disbursed from time to time from the
Casualty/Condemnation Subaccount upon Lender being furnished with (1) evidence
satisfactory to it of the estimated cost of completion of the Restoration, (2)
funds or, at Lender's option, assurances satisfactory to Lender that such funds
are available, sufficient in addition to the proceeds of insurance to complete
the proposed Restoration, (3) such architect's certificates, waivers of lien,
contractor's sworn statements, title insurance endorsements, bonds, plats of
survey and such other evidences of cost, payment and performance as Lender may
reasonably require and approve, and (4) all plans and specifications for such
Restoration, such plans and specifications to be approved by Lender prior to
commencement of any work. In addition, no payment made prior to the final
completion of the Restoration shall exceed ninety percent (90%) of the value of
the work performed from time to time; funds other than proceeds of insurance
shall be disbursed prior to disbursement of such proceeds; and at all times, the
undisbursed balance of such proceeds remaining in the hands of Lender, together
with funds deposited for that purpose or irrevocably committed to the
satisfaction of Lender by or on behalf of Borrower for that purpose, shall be at
least sufficient in the reasonable judgment of Lender to pay for the cost of
completion of the Restoration, free and clear of all liens or claims for lien.
Any surplus which may remain out of insurance proceeds held by Lender after
payment of such costs of Restoration shall be paid to Borrower.
7.1.3 Condemnation. (a) Borrower shall promptly give Lender written
notice of the actual or threatened commencement of any condemnation or eminent
domain proceeding affecting a Property (a "Condemnation") and shall deliver to
Lender copies of any and all papers served in connection with such Condemnation.
Following the occurrence of a Condemnation, Borrower, regardless of whether an
Award is available, shall promptly proceed to restore, repair, replace or
rebuild the affected Property to the extent practicable to be of at least equal
value and of substantially the same character as prior to such Condemnation, all
to be effected in accordance with Legal Requirements.
(b) Lender is hereby irrevocably appointed as Borrower's
attorney-in-fact, coupled with an interest, with exclusive power to collect,
receive and retain any award or payment in respect of a Condemnation (an
"Award") and to make any compromise or settlement in connection with such
Condemnation, subject to the provisions of this Section. Notwithstanding any
Condemnation by any public or quasi-public authority (including any transfer
made in lieu of or in anticipation of such a Condemnation), Borrower shall
continue to pay the Debt at the time and in the manner provided for in the Note,
in this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and the Debt shall not be reduced
unless and until any Award shall have been actually received and applied by
Lender to expenses of collecting the Award and to discharge of the Debt (up to
the Release Amount for the
47
Property so affected together with any Yield Maintenance Premium applicable
thereto to the extent provided under Section 2.3.3). Lender shall not be limited
to the interest paid on the Award by the condemning authority but shall be
entitled to receive out of the Award interest at the rate or rates provided in
the Note. Borrower shall cause any Award that is payable to Borrower to be paid
directly to Lender.
(c) In the event of any Condemnation where the Award is in an
aggregate amount less than sixty (60%) of the Allocated Loan Amount for any
Property, and if, in the reasonable judgment of Lender, the Property can be
restored within six (6) months and prior to maturity of the Note (and prior to
expiration of the business interruption insurance) to an economic unit not less
valuable and not less useful than the same was prior to the Condemnation, and
after such restoration will adequately secure the outstanding balance of the
Allocated Loan Amount, then, if no Default or Event of Default shall have
occurred and be then continuing, the proceeds of the Award (after reimbursement
of any expenses incurred by Lender) shall be applied to reimburse Borrower for
the cost of restoring, repairing, replacing or rebuilding the Property or part
thereof subject to Condemnation (the "Condemnation Restoration") in the manner
set forth below. Borrower hereby covenants and agrees to commence and diligently
to prosecute such Condemnation Restoration; provided that (i) Borrower shall pay
all costs (and if required by Lender, Borrower shall deposit the total thereof
with Lender in advance) of such Condemnation Restoration in excess of the Award
made available pursuant to the terms hereof; (ii) the Condemnation Restoration
shall be done in compliance with all Legal Requirements; and (iii) Lender shall
have received evidence reasonably satisfactory to it that, during the period of
the Condemnation Restoration, the sum of (A) income derived from the applicable
Property, as reasonably determined by Lender, plus (B) proceeds of rent loss
insurance or business interruption insurance, if any, to be paid, plus (C) any
amounts otherwise deposited by Borrower with Lender, will equal or exceed the
sum of (I) expenses in connection with the operation of such Property and (II)
the debt service under the portion of the Loan attributable to such Property.
(d) Except as provided above, the Award collected upon any
Condemnation shall, at the option of Lender in its sole discretion, be applied
to the payment of the Debt (up to the Release Amount for the Property so
affected together with any Yield Maintenance Premium applicable thereto to the
extent provided under Section 2.3.3) or applied to reimburse Borrower for the
cost of the Condemnation Restoration in the manner set forth below. Any such
application to the Debt shall be without any prepayment consideration except
that if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing at the time the Award
is received, then Borrower shall pay to Lender an additional amount equal to the
Yield Maintenance Premium, if any, that would be required under Section 2.3.3
hereof if a Defeasance Deposit was to be made by Borrower in the case of a
Defeased Note equal to the amount of the condemnation proceeds applied to the
Debt. After any such application to the Debt, the remaining principal balance
outstanding under the Note shall be reamortized over the remaining term thereof.
If the related Property is sold, through foreclosure or otherwise, prior to the
receipt by Lender of such Award, Lender shall have the right, whether or not a
deficiency judgment on the Note shall be recoverable or shall have been sought,
recovered or denied, to receive all or a portion of said Award sufficient to pay
the Allocated Loan Amount and interest thereon.
(e) In the event Borrower is entitled to reimbursement out of the
Award received by Lender, such proceeds shall be disbursed from time to time
upon Lender being furnished with (1)
48
evidence satisfactory to it of the estimated cost of completion of the
Condemnation Restoration, (2) funds or, at Lender's option, assurances
satisfactory to Lender that such funds are available, sufficient in addition to
the proceeds of the Award to complete the Condemnation Restoration, (3) such
architect's certificates, waivers of lien, contractor's sworn statements, title
insurance endorsements, bonds, plats of survey and such other evidences of
costs, payment and performance as Lender may reasonably require and approve; and
(4) all plans and specifications for such Condemnation Restoration, such plans
and specifications to be approved by Lender prior to commencement of work. In
addition, no payment made prior to the final completion of the restoration,
repair, replacement and rebuilding shall exceed ninety percent (90%) of the
value of the work performed from time to time; (5) funds other than proceeds of
the Award shall be disbursed prior to disbursement of such proceeds; and (6) at
all times, the undisbursed balance of such proceeds remaining in the hands of
Lender, together with funds deposited for that purpose or irrevocably committed
to the satisfaction of Lender by or on behalf of Borrower for that purpose,
shall be at least sufficient in the reasonable judgment of Lender to pay for the
costs of completion of the Condemnation Restoration free and clear of all liens
or claims for lien. Any surplus which may remain out of the Award received by
Lender after payment of such costs of restoration, repair, replacement or
rebuilding shall, in the sole and absolute discretion of Lender, be retained by
Lender and applied to payment of the Debt or returned to Borrower.
Section 7.2 Required Repair; Required Repair Funds.
7.2.1 Required Repairs; Deposits. Borrower shall perform the deferred
maintenance and PIP work required under the Franchise Agreements at the
Properties set forth on Schedule 4 annexed hereto (the "Required Repairs").
Borrower shall complete each of the Required Repairs on or before the deadline
for same set forth on schedule 4. On the Closing Date, Borrower shall deposit
with Lender the amount for each Property set forth on such Schedule 4 hereto to
perform the Required Repairs for such Property. Amounts so deposited with Lender
(the "Required Repair Fund") shall be held by Lender in an account (the
"Required Repair Account") in Lender's name at a financial institution selected
by Lender in its sole discretion and shall be invested in Permitted Investments.
7.2.2 Grant of Security Interest. Borrower hereby pledges, assigns and
grants a security interest to Lender, as security for payment of all sums due in
respect of the Loan and the performance of all other terms, conditions and
covenants of the Loan Documents and this Agreement on Borrower's part to be paid
and performed, all of Borrower's right, title and interest in and to the
Required Repair Fund and the Required Repair Account. Borrower shall not,
without obtaining the prior written consent of Lender, further pledge, assign or
grant any security interest in the Required Repair Fund or the Required Repair
Account or permit any lien or encumbrance to attach thereto, or any levy to be
made thereon, or any UCC-1 Financing Statements, except those naming Lender as
the secured party, to be filed with respect thereto.
7.2.3 Release of Required Repair Funds. Lender shall disburse to
Borrower all Required Repair Funds in the Required Repair Account with respect
to any individual Property upon satisfaction by Borrower of each of the
following conditions: (a) Borrower shall submit a written request for payment to
Lender at least fifteen (15) Business Days prior to the date on which Borrower
requests such payment be made (except in the case of an emergency repair which
requires
49
immediate attention, in which event Borrower may submit such payment request
within ten (10) days), (b) on the date such request is received by Lender and on
the date such payment is to be made, no Default or Event of Default shall exist
and remain uncured, (c) Lender shall have received an Officer's Certificate from
Borrower certifying that all Required Repairs at the applicable Property have
been completed (i) in a good and workmanlike manner, and (ii) in accordance with
all applicable Legal Requirements, such certificate to be accompanied by a copy
of each license, permit or other approval required by any Governmental Authority
for the use or occupancy of the applicable Property, (d) Lender shall have
received an Officer's Certificate from Borrower (i) identifying each Person that
supplied materials or labor in connection with the Required Repairs performed at
such Property and (ii) stating that each such Person has been or, upon receipt
of the requested disbursement, will be paid in full, such certificate to be
accompanied by a copy of appropriate lien waivers or other evidence of payment
satisfactory to Lender, (e) at Lender's option, a title search for such Property
indicating that such Property is free from all liens, claims and other
encumbrances not previously approved by Lender, and (f) Lender shall have
received such other evidence as Lender shall reasonably request that the
Required Repairs at such Property have been completed and paid for. Lender shall
be required to make only one disbursement per month from the Required Repair
Account with respect to each Property and such disbursement shall be made only
upon satisfaction of each condition contained in this Section 7.2.3. Upon
completion of all Required Repairs in accordance with the terms hereof, Lender
shall disburse to Borrower any amounts then remaining in the Required Repair
Account.
7.2.4 Failure to Perform Required Repairs. It shall be a Default under
this Agreement if (a) Borrower does not complete the Required Repairs at each
Property by the required deadline for each repair as set forth on Schedule 4, or
(b) Borrower does not satisfy each condition contained in Section 7.2.3 hereof.
Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, Lender,
at its option, may withdraw all Required Repair Funds from the Required Repair
Account and Lender may apply such funds either to completion of the Required
Repairs at one or more of the Properties or toward payment of the Debt in such
order, proportion and priority as Lender may determine in its sole discretion.
Lender's right to withdraw and apply Required Repair Funds shall be in addition
to all other rights and remedies provided to Lender under this Agreement and the
other Loan Documents.
Section 7.3 Tax and Insurance Escrow Fund.
7.3.1 Tax and Insurance Escrow Fund. Borrower shall pay to Lender on
each Payment Date (a) one-twelfth of the Taxes that Lender estimates will be
payable during the next ensuing twelve (12) months in order to accumulate with
Lender sufficient funds to pay all such Taxes at least thirty (30) days prior to
the respective dates they become delinquent, and (b) one-twelfth of the
Insurance Premiums that Lender reasonably estimates will be payable for the
renewal of the coverage afforded by the Policies upon the expiration thereof in
order to accumulate with Lender sufficient funds to pay all such Insurance
Premiums at least thirty (30) days prior to the expiration of the Policies (said
amounts in (a) and (b) above hereinafter called the "Tax and Insurance Escrow
Fund"). The Tax and Insurance Escrow Fund and the payments of interest or
principal or both, payable pursuant to the Note, shall be added together and
shall be paid as an aggregate sum by Borrower to Lender. Lender will apply the
Tax and Insurance Escrow Fund to payments of Taxes and Insurance Premiums
required to be made by Borrower pursuant to Sec-
50
Section 5.1 hereof and under the Mortgages, or to reimburse Borrower for such
amounts upon presentation of evidence of payment and an Officer's Certificate in
form and substance satisfactory to Lender; subject, however, to Borrower's right
to contest Taxes in accordance with Section 5.1(b) hereof. In making any payment
relating to the Tax and Insurance Escrow Fund, Lender may do so according to any
xxxx, statement or estimate procured from the appropriate public office (with
respect to Taxes) or insurer or agent (with respect to Insurance Premiums),
without inquiry into the accuracy of such xxxx, statement or estimate or into
the validity of any tax, assessment, sale, forfeiture, tax lien or title or
claim thereof. Borrower shall furnish to Lender all bills and statements of the
applicable taxing authority with respect to Taxes no later than five (5)
Business Days before the same becomes due and payable. If the amount of the Tax
and Insurance Escrow Fund shall exceed the amounts due for Taxes and Insurance
Premiums pursuant to Section 5.1 hereof, Lender shall, in its sole discretion,
return any excess to Borrower or credit such excess against future payments to
be made to the Tax and Insurance Escrow Fund. In allocating such excess, Lender
may deal with the Person shown on the records of Lender to be the owner of the
Properties. If at any time Lender determines that the Tax and Insurance Escrow
Fund is not or will not be sufficient to pay the items set forth in (a) and (b)
above, Lender shall notify Borrower of such determination and Borrower shall
increase its monthly payments to Lender by the amount that Lender estimates is
sufficient to make up the deficiency at least thirty (30) days prior to
delinquency of the Taxes and/or expiration of the Policies, as the case may be.
7.3.2 Grant of Security Interest. Borrower hereby pledges, assigns and
grants a security interest to Lender, as security for payment of all sums due
under the Loan and the performance of all other terms, conditions and provisions
of the Loan Documents and this Agreement on Borrower's part to be paid and
performed, of all Borrower's right, title and interest in and to the Tax and
Insurance Escrow Fund. Borrower shall not, without obtaining the prior written
consent of Lender, further pledge, assign or grant any security interest in the
Tax and Insurance Escrow Fund, or permit any lien or encumbrance to attach
thereto, or any levy to be made thereon, or any UCC-1 Financing Statements,
except those naming Lender as the secured party, to be filed with respect
thereto.
7.3.3 Application of Tax and Insurance Escrow Fund. Upon the
occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, Lender may apply
any sums then present in the Tax and Insurance Escrow Fund to the payment of the
following items in any order in its sole discretion: (a) Taxes and Other
Charges; (b) Insurance Premiums; (c) interest on the unpaid principal balance of
the Note; (d) amortization of the unpaid principal balance of the Note; or (e)
all other sums payable pursuant to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.
The Tax and Insurance Escrow Fund shall not constitute a trust fund and may be
commingled with other monies held by Lender. Sums in the Tax and Insurance
Escrow Fund shall be held by Lender in an account in Lender's name at a
financial institution selected by Lender in its sole discretion and shall be
invested in Permitted Investments. Earnings or interest, if any, thereon shall
be retained as part of such funds and applied in accordance with this Section
7.3. Lender shall not be liable for any loss sustained on the investment of any
funds constituting the Tax and Insurance Escrow Fund.
51
Section 7.4 Capital Reserve Fund.
7.4.1 Capital Reserve Fund. Borrower shall pay to Lender on each
Payment Date an amount equal to five percent (5%) of the gross revenues of the
Properties for the second calendar month preceding such Payment Date (said
amounts hereinafter called the "Capital Reserve Fund"). Lender will apply the
Capital Reserve Fund to payment of Approved Capital Expenses pursuant to the
terms hereof; provided, however, if the Loan shall have been accelerated or if
there is an Event of Default which is continuing, then Lender may credit such
Capital Reserve Fund against the Debt in such priority and proportions as Lender
in its sole and absolute discretion shall deem proper. If the amount of the
Capital Reserve Fund shall exceed the amounts due for Approved Capital Expenses
pursuant to the terms hereof, Lender shall, in its discretion, return any excess
to Borrower or, if future Capital Reserve Fund payments are then required,
credit such excess against such future payments; provided, however, if the Loan
shall have been accelerated or if there is an Event of Default which is
continuing, then Lender may credit such excess against the Debt in such priority
and proportions as Lender in its sole and absolute discretion shall deem proper.
7.4.2 Additional Capital Reserve Fund. (a) Notwithstanding anything to
the contrary contained in Section 7.4.1, Lender will waive its right to require
monthly deposits into the Capital Reserve Fund for the Marriott Managed
Properties so long as (i) there is held in an escrow in all respects
satisfactory to Lender (the "Additional Capital Reserve Fund") an amount equal
to $604,362 and (ii) within 30 days after the end of each calendar year during
the Term, Borrower shall provide the Lender an Officer's Certificate and
evidence satisfactory to Lender in all respects certifying (A) that Borrower
made payments into an escrow reserve account established by Manager for each of
the Marriott Managed Properties in an amount equal to five percent (5%) of the
Gross Revenues for such Marriott Managed Properties during such calendar year
and (B) the actual amount spent by Manager on Capital Expenditures and FF&E
Expenditures at each of the Marriott Managed Properties during such calendar
year, together with reasonable detail as to the actual expenditures made. If at
any time Borrower fails to satisfy the requirements of clauses (i) or (ii) above
or if there is an Event of Default which is continuing, then (x) Lender may
credit such Alternative Capital Reserve Fund against the Debt in such priority
and proportions as Lender in its sole and absolute discretion shall deem proper,
and (y) Borrower's rights under this Section 7.4.2 shall terminate and Borrower
shall be required to commence making monthly deposits into the Capital Reserve
Fund for the Marriott Managed Properties pursuant to Section 7.4.1 on the next
Payment Date which shall be in addition to any payments Borrower is required to
make on account of Capital Expenditures and FF&E Expenditures under the
Management Agreements.
(b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section
7.4.2, in lieu of making a cash deposit for the Additional Capital Reserve Fund,
Borrower may, at its option, deposit with Lender an unconditional, irrevocable,
stand-by letter of credit for the benefit of Lender issued by a commercial bank
having a rating of "AA-" or better by Standard & Poor's Ratings Group in the
amount of $604,362 for a term of not less than one year, which letter of credit
shall otherwise be in form acceptable to Lender in all respects. Lender shall
have the right to draw down such letter of credit (i) if Borrower fails to
extend or replace such letter of credit no later than 30 days prior to the
expiration date thereof and (ii) at any time Lender is entitled to apply the
Additional Capital Reserve Fund pursuant to Section 7.4.4.
52
7.4.3 Grant of Security Interest. Borrower hereby pledges, assigns and
grants a security interest to Lender, as security for payment of all sums due
under the Loan and the performance of all other terms, conditions and provisions
of the Loan Documents and this Agreement on Borrower's part to be paid and
performed, of all Borrower's right, title and interest in and to the Capital
Reserve Fund, the Additional Capital Reserve Fund and any letter of credit
deposited by Borrower in lieu of a cash deposit for the Additional Capital
Reserve Fund. Borrower shall not, without obtaining the prior written consent of
Lender, further pledge, assign or grant any security interest in the Capital
Reserve Fund, the Additional Capital Reserve Fund or any such letter of credit,
or permit any lien or encumbrance to attach thereto, or any levy to be made
thereon, or any UCC-l Financing Statements, except those naming Lender as the
secured party, to be filed with respect thereto. This Agreement is, among other
things, intended by the parties to be a security agreement for purposes of the
New York Uniform Commercial Code.
7.4.4 Application of Capital Reserve Fund. Upon the occurrence of an
Event of Default, Lender may apply any sums then present in the Capital Reserve
Fund and/or the Additional Capital Reserve Fund (and, if applicable, draw down
any letter of credit being held in connection therewith for application
hereunder) to the payment of the following items in any order in its sole
discretion: (a) Capital Expenses; (b) interest on the unpaid principal balance
of the Note; (c) amortization of the unpaid principal balance of the Note; or
(d) all other sums payable pursuant to this Agreement and the other Loan
Documents. The Capital Reserve Fund and the Additional Capital Reserve Fund
shall not constitute a trust fund and may be commingled with other monies held
by Lender. Sums in the Capital Reserve Fund and the Additional Capital Reserve
Fund shall be held by Lender in an account in Lender's name at a financial
institution selected by Lender in its sole discretion and shall be invested in
Permitted Investments. Earnings or interest, if any, thereon shall become part
of the Capital Reserve Fund or the Additional Capital Reserve Fund and shall be
disbursed as provided in this Section 7.4.4. Lender shall not be liable for any
loss sustained on the investment of any funds constituting the Capital Reserve
Fund or the Additional Capital Reserve Fund.
7.4.5 Payment of Capital Expenses. Funds held in the Capital Reserve
Fund may be used for Approved Capital Expenses. From time to time, Borrower may
send a request for disbursement of funds in the Capital Reserve Fund, but not
more than two (2) times per month and, to the extent there are sufficient funds
available in the Capital Reserve Fund, such disbursements shall be made by
Lender so long as (A) no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing;
(B) such expenditure is for an Approved Capital Expense; and (C) the request for
disbursement is accompanied by (1) an Officer's Certificate certifying (v) the
amount of funds to be disbursed, (w) that such funds will be used to pay
Approved Capital Expenses and a description thereof, (x) that all outstanding
trade payables (other than those to be paid from the requested disbursement or
those otherwise permitted to be outstanding under Section 6.1(i) hereof) have
been paid in full, (y) that the same has not been the subject of a previous
disbursement, and (z) that all previous disbursements have been used to pay the
previously identified Approved Capital Expenses, (2) at Lender's option, copies
of appropriate lien waivers or other evidence of payment satisfactory to Lender,
and (3) reasonably detailed documentation as to the amount, necessity and
purpose therefor.
Section 7.5 Payment of Approved Operating Expenses. Funds held in the
Deposit Account with respect to any Property for which there is no Operating
Lease may be used for
53
Approved Operating Expenses. From time to time, Borrower may send a request for
disbursement of funds in the Deposit Account for payment of Approved Operating
Expenses, but not more than two (2) times per month. To the extent there are
funds available in the Deposit Account in excess of the amounts required to fund
the Tax and Insurance Escrow Fund, the Capital Reserve Fund and to pay the
Monthly Debt Service Payment Amount due in respect of the Loan on the next
Payment Date, such disbursements for Approved Operating Expenses shall be made
by the Lender so long as (A) no Event of Default shall have occurred and be
continuing; (B) such expenditure is for an Approved Operating Expense; and (C)
the request for disbursement is accompanied by (1) an Officer's Certificate
certifying (v) the amount of funds to be disbursed, (w) that such funds will be
used to pay Approved Operating Expenses and a description thereof, (x) that all
outstanding trade payables (other than those to be paid from the requested
disbursement or those otherwise permitted to be outstanding under Section 6.1(i)
hereof) have been paid in full, (y) that the same has not been the subject of a
previous disbursement, and (z) that all previous disbursements have been or will
be used to pay the previously identified Approved Operating Expenses, and (2)
reasonably detailed documentation as to the amount, necessity and purpose
therefor. Subject to satisfaction of the preceding conditions, if the Lender
receives from the Borrower a valid request for a disbursement for payment of
Approved Operating Expenses with respect to any Property for which there is no
Operating Lease for the then Current Month at least five (5) Business Days prior
to the Payment Date occurring in such Current Month, then the disbursement in
respect of such Approved Operating Expenses shall be made to Borrower on such
Payment Date. If the Borrower shall fail to validly request a disbursement for
payment of Approved Operating Expenses for such Property for the then Current
Month at least five (5) Business Days prior to the Payment Date in such Current
Month, then the Lender shall retain in the Deposit Account an amount equal to
the anticipated Operating Expenses for the then Current Month as set forth in
the approved Operating Budget for such Property for such month, and the Lender
shall, subject to satisfaction of the preceding conditions, disburse same to the
Borrower five (5) Business Days after the Lender receives a valid request
therefor. Amounts disbursed to the Borrower under this Section 7.5 shall be used
by the Borrower to pay current Approved Operating Expenses for any Property for
which there is no Operating Lease and for no other purpose. The Borrower shall
furnish the Lender with copies of bills, statements, invoices, receipts or other
evidence as the Lender may reasonably request in connection with a request for
disbursement.

(b) Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of
Default (other than an Event of Default described in clauses (vi), (vii) or
(viii) above) and at any time thereafter Lender may, in addition to any other
rights or remedies available to it pursuant to this Agreement and the other Loan
Documents or at law or in equity, Lender may take such action, without notice or
demand, that Lender deems advisable to protect and enforce its rights against
Borrower and in and to the Properties, including declaring the Debt to be
immediately due and payable, and Lender may enforce or avail itself of any or
all rights or remedies provided in the Loan Documents against any or all of the
Individual Borrowers and any or all of the Properties, including all rights or
remedies available at law or in equity; and upon any Event of Default described
in clauses (vi), (vii) or (viii) above, the Debt and all other obligations of
Borrower hereunder and under the other Loan Documents shall immediately and
automatically become due and payable, without notice or demand, and each
Individual Borrower hereby expressly waives any such notice or demand, anything
contained herein or in any other Loan Document to the contrary notwithstanding.
Section 8.2 Remedies. (a) Upon the occurrence and during the
continuance of an Event of Default, all or any one or more of the rights,
powers, privileges and other remedies available to Lender against Borrower under
this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents executed and delivered by, or
applicable to, Borrower or at law or in equity may be exercised by Lender at any
time and from time to time, whether or not all or any of the Debt shall be
declared due and payable, and whether or not Lender shall have commenced any
foreclosure proceeding or other action for the enforcement of its rights and
remedies under any of the Loan Documents with respect to all or any of the
Properties. Any such actions taken by Lender shall be cumulative and concurrent
and may be pursued independently, singly, successively, together or otherwise,
at such time and in such order as Lender may determine in its sole discretion,
to the fullest extent permitted by law, without impairing or otherwise affecting
the other rights and remedies of Lender permitted by law, equity or contract or
as set forth herein or in the other Loan Documents. Without limiting the
generality of the foregoing, Borrower agrees that if an Event of Default is
continuing (i) to the extent permitted by applicable law, Lender is not subject
to any "one action" or "election of remedies" law or rule, and (ii) all liens
and other rights, remedies or privileges provided to Lender shall remain in full
force and effect until Lender has exhausted all of its remedies against the
Properties and each Mortgage has been foreclosed, sold and/or otherwise realized
upon in satisfaction of the Debt or the Debt has been paid in full.
(b) With respect to Borrower and the Properties, and to the extent
permitted by applicable law, nothing contained herein or in any other Loan
Document shall be construed as requiring Lender to resort to any Individual
Borrower or any Property for the satisfaction of any of the Debt in preference
or priority to any Individual Borrower or any other Properties, and Lender may
seek satisfaction out of all of the Properties or any part thereof, in its
absolute discretion in respect of the Debt. In addition, Lender shall have the
right from time to time to partially foreclose the Mortgages in any manner and
for any amounts secured by the Mortgages then due and payable as determined by
Lender in its sole discretion including, without limitation, the following
circumstances: (i) in the event Borrower defaults in the payment of one or more
scheduled payments
57
of principal and interest, Lender may foreclose one or more of the Mortgages 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 one or more of the Mortgages to recover so much of the
principal balance of the Loan as Lender may accelerate and such other sums
secured by one or more of the Mortgages as Lender may elect. Notwithstanding one
or more partial foreclosures, the Properties shall remain subject to the
Mortgages to secure payment of sums secured by the Mortgages and not previously
recovered.
(c) Lender shall have the right from time to time to sever the Note
and the other Loan Documents into one or more separate notes, mortgages and
other security 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.
Section 8.3 Remedies Cumulative. The rights, powers and remedies of
Lender under this Agreement shall be cumulative and not exclusive of any other
right, power or remedy which Lender may have against Borrower pursuant to this
Agreement or the other Loan Documents, or existing at law or in equity or
otherwise. Lender's rights, powers and remedies may be pursued singly,
concurrently or otherwise, at such time and in such order as Lender may
determine in Lender's sole discretion. No delay or omission to exercise any
remedy, right or power accruing upon an Event of Default shall impair any such
remedy, right or power or shall be construed as a waiver thereof, but any such
remedy, right or power may be exercised from time to time and as often as may be
deemed expedient. A waiver of one 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.
IX. SPECIAL PROVISIONS
Section 9.1 Sale of Note and Securitization. At the request of the
holder of the Note and, to the extent not already required to be provided by
Borrower under this Agreement. Borrower shall use reasonable efforts to satisfy
the market standards to which the holder of the Note customarily adheres or
which may be reasonably required in the marketplace or by the Rating Agencies in
connection with the sale of the Note or participation therein or the first

the holder of the Note or the Rating Agencies or as may be reasonably necessary

consents of the Provided Information through letters of auditors or opinions of
counsel of independent attorneys acceptable to Lender and the Rating Agencies;
(b) at Borrower's expense, cause counsel to render opinions as to
non-consolidation, fraudulent conveyance, and true sale, true contribution or
any other opinion customary in securitization transactions with respect to the

reasonably satisfactory to the holder of the Note and the Rating Agencies;
(c) make such representations and warranties as of the closing date of
the Securitization with respect to the Properties, Borrower, and the Loan
Documents as are customarily provided in securitization transactions and as may
be reasonably requested by the holder of the Note or the Rating Agencies and
consistent with the facts covered by such representations and warranties as they
exist on the date thereof, including the representations and warranties made in
the Loan Documents; and
(d) execute such amendments to the Loan Documents and Borrower's
organizational documents, enter into a lock-box or similar arrangement with
respect to the Rents and establish and fund such reserve funds (including
reserve funds for deferred maintenance and capital improvements) as may be
requested by the holder of the Note or the Rating Agencies or otherwise to
effect the Securitization, provided, that nothing contained in this subsection
(d) shall result in a material change in the transaction.
In connection with only the initial Securitization, all reasonable third party
costs and expenses incurred by Lender in connection with Borrower's complying
with requests made under this Section 9.1 shall be paid by Borrower up to a
maximum amount equal to $147,000, which Borrower will deposit with Lender on the
Closing Date.
Section 9.2 Securitization Indemnification. (a) Borrower understands
that certain of the Provided Information and the Required Records may be
included in disclosure documents in connection with the Securitization,
including a prospectus or private placement memorandum (each, a "Disclosure
Document") and may also be included in filings with the Securities and Exchange
Commission pursuant to the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities
Act"), or the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange
Act"), or provided or made available to investors or prospective investors in
the Securities, the Rating Agencies, and service providers relating to the
Securitization. In the event that the Disclosure Document is required to be
revised prior to the sale of all Securities, Borrower will cooperate with the
holder of the Note in updating the Provided Information or Required Reports for
inclusion or summary in the Disclosure Document by providing all current
information pertaining to Borrower and the Properties necessary to keep the
Disclosure Document accurate and complete in all material respects with respect
to such matters.
59
(b) In connection with each of (i) a preliminary and a private
placement memorandum or (ii) a preliminary and final prospectus, as applicable,
Borrower agrees to provide an indemnification certificate:
(A) certifying that Borrower has carefully examined those
portions of such memorandum or prospectus, as applicable, pertaining to
Borrower, the Properties and the Loan including applicable portions of the
sections entitled "Special Considerations", "Description of the Mortgages",
"Description of the Mortgage Loans and Mortgaged Properties", "The Manager",
"The Borrower" and "Certain Legal Aspects of the Mortgage Loan", and such
sections (and any other sections reasonably requested and pertaining to
Borrower, the Properties or the Loan) to the best of Borrower's knowledge, do
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 the affiliates of Nomura Securities
International, Inc. (" Nomura"), 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 or entity who controls Nomura within the meaning of Section 15 of
the Securities Act or Section 30 of the Exchange Act of 1933, as amended
(collectively, the "Nomura Group"), and Nomura, each of its directors and each
person who controls Nomura, within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities
Act and Section 20 of the Exchange Act (collectively, the "Underwriter Group")
for any losses, claims, damages or liabilities to which Lender, the Nomura 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 applicable portions of such sections applicable
to Borrower, the Properties or the Loan, 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 applicable portions of such sections or necessary in order to make
the statements in the applicable portions of such sections or in light of the
circumstances under which they were made, not misleading (the "Liabilities");
and
(C) agreeing to reimburse Lender and Nomura for any reasonable
legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by Lender and Nomura in connection
with investigating or defending the Liabilities. Borrower's Liability under
clauses (A), (B) and this (C) shall be limited to Liabilities arising out of or
based upon any such untrue statement or omission made therein in reliance upon
and in conformity with information furnished to Lender by Borrower, its
accountants, officers and employees in writing in connection with the
preparation of those portions of the memorandum or prospectus pertaining to
Borrower, the Properties or the Loan or in connection with the underwriting of
the debt, including financial statements of Borrower, operating statements,
occupancy statistics and room rates, rent rolls, environmental site assessment
reports and property condition reports with respect to the Properties. This
indemnity agreement will be in addition to any liability which Borrower may
otherwise have.
(c) In connection with filings under the Exchange Act, Borrower agrees
to (i) indemnify Lender, the Nomura Group and the Underwriter Group for any
Liabilities to which Lender, the Nomura Group or the Underwriter Group may
become subject insofar as the Liabilities arise out of or are based upon the
omission or alleged omission to state in the Provided Information
60
or Required Records a material fact required to be stated in the Provided
Information or Required Records in order to make the statements in the Provided
Information or Required Records, in light of the circumstances under which they
were made not misleading and (ii) reimburse Lender or Nomura for any legal or
other expenses reasonably incurred by Lender and Nomura in connection with
defending or investigating the Liabilities; provided that Borrower shall not be
required to indemnify Lender or Nomura in connection with any Liability arising
from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of Lender or Nomura.
(d) Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party under this Section
9.2 of notice of the commencement of any action, such indemnified party will, if
a claim in respect thereof is to be made against the indemnifying party under
this Section 9.2, notify the indemnifying party in writing of the commencement
thereof, but the omission to so notify the indemnifying party will not relieve
the indemnifying party from any liability which the indemnifying party may have
to any indemnified party hereunder except to the extent that failure to notify
causes prejudice to the indemnifying party. In the event that any action is
brought against any indemnified party, and it notifies the indemnifying party of
the commencement thereof, the indemnifying party will be entitled, jointly with
any other indemnifying party, to participate therein and, to the extent that it
(or they) may elect by written notice delivered to the indemnified party
promptly after receiving the aforesaid notice from such indemnified party, to
assume the defense thereof with counsel satisfactory to such indemnified party.
After notice from the indemnifying party to such indemnified party under this
Section 9.2 for any legal or other expenses subsequently incurred by such
indemnified party in connection with the defense thereof other than reasonable
costs of investigation; provided, however, if the defendants in any such action
include both the indemnified party and the indemnifying party shall have
reasonably concluded that there are any legal defenses available to it and/or
other indemnified parties that are different from or additional to those
available to the indemnifying party, the indemnified party or parties shall have
the right to select separate counsel to assert such legal defenses and to
otherwise participate in the defense of such action on behalf of such
indemnified party or parties. The indemnifying party shall not be liable for the
expenses of more than one separate counsel unless there are legal defenses
available to it that are materially different from or additional to those
available to another indemnified party.
(e) In order to provide for just and equitable contribution in
circumstances in which the indemnity agreement provided for in Section 9.2(b) or
(c) is for any reason held to be unenforceable by an indemnified party in
respect of any losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or action in respect
thereof) referred to therein which would otherwise be indemnifiable under
Section 9.2(b) or 9.2(c), the indemnifying party shall contribute to the amount
paid or payable by the indemnified party as a result of such losses, claims,
damages or liabilities (or action in respect thereof); provided, however, that
no person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section
11(f) of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any person
who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation. In determining the
amount of contribution to which the respective parties are entitled, the
following factors shall be considered: (i) the Nomura Group's and Borrower's
relative knowledge and access to information concerning the matter with respect
to which claim was asserted; (ii) the opportunity to correct and prevent any
statement or omission; and (iii) any other equitable considerations appropriate
in the circumstances. Lender and Borrower hereby agree that it may not be
equitable if the amount of such contribution were determined by pro rata or per
capita allocation.
61
Section 9.3 Rating Surveillance. Lender will retain the Rating
Agencies to provide rating surveillance services on any certificates issued in a
Securitization. The pro rata share of such rating surveillance will be at the
expense of Borrower.
Section 9.4 Exculpation. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in
any of the Loan Documents, subject to the qualifications below, Lender shall not
enforce the liability and obligation of Borrower to perform and observe the
obligations contained in the Note, this Agreement, the Mortgages or the other
Loan Documents by any action or proceeding wherein a money judgment shall be
sought against Borrower, except that Lender may bring a foreclosure action, an
action for specific performance or any other appropriate action or proceeding to
enable Lender to enforce and realize upon its interest under the Note, this
Agreement, the Mortgages and the other Loan Documents, or in the Properties, the
Rents, or any other collateral given to Lender pursuant to the Loan Documents;
provided, however, that, except as specifically provided herein, any judgment in
any such action or proceeding shall be enforceable against Borrower only to the
extent of Borrower's interest in the Properties, in the Rents and in any other
collateral given to Lender, and Lender, by accepting the Note, this Agreement,
the Mortgages and the other Loan Documents, agrees that it shall not xxx for,
seek or demand any deficiency judgment against Borrower in any such action or
proceeding under or by reason of or under or in connection with the Note, this
Agreement, the Mortgages or the other Loan Documents. The provisions of this
section shall not, however, (a) constitute a waiver, release or impairment of
any obligation evidenced or secured by any of the Loan Documents; (b) impair the
right of Lender to name Borrower as a party defendant in any action or suit for
foreclosure and sale under the Mortgages; (c) affect the validity or
enforceability of or any guaranty made in connection with the Loan or any of the
rights and remedies of Lender thereunder; (d) impair the right of Lender to
obtain the appointment of a receiver; (e) impair the enforcement of any of the
Assignments of Leases; (f) constitute a prohibition against Lender commence any
other appropriate action or proceeding in order for Lender to fully realize the
security granted by the Mortgages or to exercise its remedies against the
Properties; or (g) constitute a waiver of the right of Lender to enforce the
liability and obligation of Borrower, by money judgment or otherwise, to the
extent of any loss, damage, cost, expense, liability, claim or other obligation
incurred by Lender (including reasonable attorneys' fees and costs) arising out
of or in connection with the following:
(i) fraud or intentional misrepresentation by Borrower or any guarantor in
connection with the Loan;
(ii) the gross negligence or willful misconduct of Borrower;
(iii) the breach of any provision in that certain Environmental and
Hazardous Substance Indemnification Agreement of even date herewith given by
Borrower to Lender or in the Mortgages concerning environmental laws, hazardous
substances and asbestos and any indemnification of Lender with respect thereto
in either document;
(iv) the removal or disposal of any portion of any Property after an Event
of Default (excluding any items which are replaced with items of reasonably
equivalent value);
62
(v) the misapplication or conversion by Borrower of (A) any insurance
proceeds paid by reason of any loss, damage or destruction to any Property, (B)
any awards or other amounts received in connection with the condemnation of all
or a portion of any Property, or (C) any Rents following an Event of Default
(prior to any cure of such Event of Default); provided that Borrower shall not
be liable for any amounts applied to Debt Service, Approved Operating Expenses
or Approved Capital Expenses;
(vi) failure to pay charges for labor or materials or other charges that
can create liens on any portion of any Property unless such charges are the
subject of a bona fide dispute in which Borrower is contesting the amount or
validity thereof;
(vii) any security deposits collected with respect to the Properties which
are not delivered to Lender upon a foreclosure of or action in lieu thereof,
except to the extent any such security deposits were applied in accordance with
the terms and conditions of any of the Leases prior to the occurrence of the
Event of Default that gave rise to such foreclosure or action in lieu thereof;
and
(viii) Borrower's indemnification of Lender set forth in Section 9.2.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement or any of the Loan
Documents, Lender shall not be deemed to have waived any right which Lender may
have under Section 506(a), 506(b), 1111(b) or any other provisions of the U.S.
Bankruptcy Code to file a claim for the full amount of the Debt secured by the
Mortgages or to require that all collateral shall continue to secure all of the
Debt owing to Lender in accordance with the Loan Documents.
Section 9.5 Retention of Servicer. Lender reserves the right to retain
the Servicer to act as its agent hereunder with such powers as are specifically
delegated to the Servicer by Lender, whether pursuant to the terms of this
Agreement, the Pooling and Servicing Agreement or the Deposit Account Agreement
or otherwise, together with such other powers as are reasonably incidental
thereto. Borrower shall pay any reasonable fees and expenses of the Servicer in
connection with a Defeasance of the Note, release of Property, assumption or
modification of the Loan or enforcement of the Loan Documents.
X. MISCELLANEOUS

representations and warranties made herein and in the certificates delivered

thereof, nor shall a single or partial exercise thereof preclude any other
future exercise, or the exercise of any other right, power, remedy or privilege.
In particular, and not by way of limitation, by accepting payment after the due
date of any amount payable under this Agreement, the Note or any other Loan
Document, Lender shall not be deemed to have waived any right either to require
prompt payment when due of all other amounts due under this Agreement, the Note
or the other Loan Documents, or to declare a default for failure to effect
prompt payment of any such other amount.

Section 10.7 Trial by Jury. BORROWER HEREBY AGREES NOT TO ELECT A
TRIAL BY JURY OF ANY ISSUE TRIABLE OF RIGHT BY JURY, AND WAIVES ANY RIGHT TO
TRIAL BY JURY FULLY TO THE EXTENT THAT ANY SUCH RIGHT SHALL NOW OR HEREAFTER
EXIST WITH REGARD TO THE LOAN DOCUMENTS, OR ANY CLAIM, COUNTERCLAIM OR OTHER
ACTION ARISING IN CONNECTION THEREWITH. THIS WAIVER OF RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IS
GIVEN KNOWINGLY AND VOLUNTARILY BY BORROWER, AND IS INTENDED TO ENCOMPASS
INDIVIDUALLY
66
EACH INSTANCE AND EACH ISSUE AS TO WHICH THE RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY WOULD
OTHERWISE ACCRUE. LENDER IS HEREBY AUTHORIZED TO FILE A COPY OF THIS PARAGRAPH
IN ANY PROCEEDING AS CONCLUSIVE EVIDENCE OF THIS WAIVER BY BORROWER.
Section 10.8 Headings. The Article and/or Section headings and the
Table of Contents in this Agreement are included herein for convenience of
reference only and shall not constitute a part of this Agreement for any other
purpose.
Section 10.9 Severability. Wherever possible, each provision of this
Agreement shall be interpreted in such manner as to be effective and valid under
applicable law, but if any provision of this Agreement shall be prohibited by or
invalid under applicable law, such provision shall be ineffective to the extent
of such prohibition or invalidity, without invalidating the remainder of such
provision or the remaining provisions of this Agreement.
Section 10.10 Preferences. To the extent Borrower makes a payment or
payments to Lender, which payment or proceeds or any part thereof are
subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside
or required to be repaid to a trustee, receiver or any other party under any
bankruptcy law, state or federal law, common law or equitable cause, then, to
the extent of such payment or proceeds received, the obligations hereunder or
part thereof intended to be satisfied shall be revived and continue in full
force and effect, as if such payment or proceeds had not been received by
Lender.
Section 10.11 Waiver of Notice. Borrower shall not be entitled to any
notices of any nature whatsoever from Lender except with respect to matters for
which this Agreement or the other Loan Documents specifically and expressly
provide for the giving of notice by Lender to Borrower and except with respect
to matters for which Borrower is not, pursuant to applicable Legal Requirements,
permitted to waive the giving of notice. Borrower hereby expressly waives the
right to receive any notice from Lender with respect to any matter for which
this Agreement or the other Loan Documents do not specifically and expressly
provide for the giving of notice by Lender to Borrower.
Section 10.12 Remedies of Borrower. In the event that a claim or
adjudication is made that Lender or its agents, including Servicer, have acted
unreasonably or unreasonably delayed acting in any case where by law or under
this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, Lender or such agent, as the case
may be, has an obligation to act reasonably or promptly, Borrower agrees that
neither Lender nor its agents, including Servicer, shall be liable for any
monetary damages, and Borrower's sole remedies shall be limited to commencing an
action seeking injunctive relief or declaratory judgment plus reasonable costs
thereof (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys' fees). The parties
hereto agree that any action or proceeding to determine whether Lender has acted
reasonably shall be determined by an action seeking declaratory judgment.
Section 10.13 Expenses; Indemnity. (a) Borrower covenants and agrees
to reimburse Lender (or the holder of the Loan, as applicable) upon receipt of
written notice from such
67
holder for all reasonable costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys'
fees and disbursements) incurred by Lender in connection with (i) the
preparation, negotiation, execution and delivery of this Agreement and the other
Loan Documents and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby and
thereby and all the costs of furnishing all opinions by counsel for Borrower
(including any opinions requested by Lender as to any legal matters arising
under this Agreement or the other Loan Documents with respect to the
Properties); (ii) Borrower's ongoing performance of and compliance with
Borrower's respective agreements and covenants contained in this Agreement and
the other Loan Documents on its part to be performed or complied with after the
Closing Date, including confirming compliance with environmental and insurance
requirements; (iii) Lender's ongoing performance and compliance with all
agreements and conditions contained in this Agreement and the other Loan
Documents on its part to be performed or complied with after the Closing Date;
(iv) the negotiation, preparation, execution, delivery and administration of any
consents, amendments, waivers or other modifications to this Agreement and the
other Loan Documents and any other documents or matters requested by Lender; (v)
Borrower complying with any requests made pursuant to Section 9.1 hereof
(subject to the limitations contained in such section); (vi) the filing and
recording fees and expenses, title insurance and reasonable fees and expenses of
counsel for providing to Lender all required legal opinions, and other similar
expenses incurred in creating and perfecting the Liens in favor of Lender
pursuant to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents; (vii) enforcing or
preserving any rights, in response to third party claims or the prosecuting or
defending of any action or proceeding or other litigation, in each case against,
under or affecting Borrower, this Agreement, the other Loan Documents, the
Properties, or any other security given for the Loan; and (viii) enforcing any
obligations of or collecting any payments due from Borrower under this
Agreement, the other Loan Documents or with respect to the Properties or in
connection with any refinancing or restructuring of the credit arrangements
provided under this Agreement in the nature of a "work-out" or of any insolvency
or bankruptcy proceedings; provided, however, that Borrower shall not be liable
for the payment of any such costs and expenses to the extent the same arise by
reason of the gross negligence, illegal acts, fraud or willful misconduct of
Lender or its employees or agents. Any costs and expenses due and payable to
Lender hereunder which are not paid by Borrower within ten (10) days after
demand may be paid from any amounts in the Deposit Account, with notice thereof
to Borrower.
(b) Borrower shall indemnify and hold harmless Lender from and against
any and all other liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions,
judgments, suits, claims, costs, expenses and disbursements of any kind or
nature whatsoever (including the reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel
for Lender in connection with any investigative, administrative or judicial
proceeding commenced or threatened, whether or not Lender shall be designated a
party thereto), that may be imposed on, incurred by, or asserted against Lender
in any manner relating to or arising out of (i) any breach by Borrower of its
obligations under, or any material misrepresentation by Borrower contained in
this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, (ii) the use or intended use of the
proceeds of the Loan, or (iii) any information provided in writing by or on
behalf of Borrower, or contained in any documentation approved by Borrower in
writing and in any way relating to the issuance, offering and sale of the
Securities (collectively, the "Indemnified Liabilities"); provided, however,
that Borrower shall not have any obligation to Lender hereunder to the extent
that such Indemnified Liabilities arise from the gross negligence, illegal acts,
fraud or willful misconduct of Lender. To the extent that the undertaking to
indemnify and hold harmless set forth in the preceding
68
sentence may be unenforceable because it violates any law or public policy,
Borrower shall contribute the maximum portion that it is permitted to pay and
satisfy under applicable law to the payment and satisfaction of all Indemnified
Liabilities incurred by Lender.
Section 10.14 Exhibits Incorporated. The Exhibits annexed hereto are
hereby incorporated herein as a part of this Agreement with the same effect as
if set forth in the body hereof.
Section 10.15 Offsets, Counterclaims and Defenses. Any assignee of
Lender's interest in and to this Agreement, the Note and the other Loan
Documents shall take the same free and clear of all offsets, counterclaims or
defenses which are unrelated to such documents which Borrower may otherwise have
against any assignor of such documents, and no such unrelated counterclaim or
defense shall be interposed or asserted by Borrower in any action or proceeding
brought by any such assignee upon such documents and any such right to interpose
or assert any such unrelated offset, counterclaim or defense in any such action
or proceeding is hereby expressly waived by Borrower.
Section 10.16 No Joint Venture or Partnership. Borrower and Lender
intend that the relationships created hereunder and under the other Loan
Documents be solely that of borrower and lender. Nothing herein or therein is
intended to create a joint venture, partnership, tenancy-in-common, or joint
tenancy relationship between Borrower and Lender nor to grant Lender any
interest in the Properties other than that of mortgagee or lender.
Section 10.17 Publicity. All news releases, publicity or advertising
by Borrower or their Affiliates through any media intended to reach the general
public which refers to the Loan Documents or the financing evidenced by the Loan
Documents, to Lender, Nomura, the Loan purchaser, the Servicer or the trustee in
a Securitization shall be subject to the prior written approval of Lender.
Section 10.18 Waiver of Marshalling of Assets. To the fullest extent
Borrower may legally do so, Borrower waives all rights to a marshalling of the
assets of Borrower, Borrower's partners, if any, and others with interests in
Borrower, and of Borrower's Properties, or to a sale in inverse order of
alienation in the event of foreclosure of the interests hereby created, and
agrees not to assert any right under any laws pertaining to the marshalling of
assets, the sale in inverse order of alienation, homestead exemption, the
administration of estates of decedents, or any other matters whatsoever to
defeat, reduce or affect the right of Lender under the Loan Documents to a sale
of the applicable Properties for the collection of the related Indebtedness
without any prior or different resort for collection, of the right of Lender or
any deed of trust trustee to the payment of the related Indebtedness out of the
net proceeds of a Property in preference to every other claimant whatsoever. In
addition, Borrower, for itself and its successors and assigns, waives in the
event of foreclosure of any or all of the Mortgages, any equitable right
otherwise available to the Borrower which would require the separate sale of the
Properties or require Lender to exhaust its remedies against any Property or any
combination of the Properties before proceeding against any other Property or
combination of Properties; and further in the event of such foreclosure the
Borrower does hereby expressly consent to and authorize, at the option of
Lender, the foreclosure and sale either separately or together of any
combination of the Properties.
69
Section 10.19 Waiver of Counterclaim. Borrower hereby waives the right
to assert a counterclaim, other than a compulsory counterclaim, in any action or
proceeding brought against it by Lender or its agents, including Servicer.
Section 10.20 Conflict; Construction of Documents. In the event of any
conflict between the provisions of this Agreement and any of the other Loan
Documents, the provisions of this Agreement shall control. The parties hereto
acknowledge that they were represented by counsel in connection with the
negotiation and drafting of the Loan Documents and that such Loan Documents
shall not be subject to the principle of construing their meaning against the
party which drafted same.
Section 10.21 Brokers and Financial Advisors. Borrower hereby
represents that it has dealt with no financial advisors, brokers, underwriters,
placement agents, agents or finders in connection with the transactions
contemplated by this Agreement. Borrower and Lender hereby agree to indemnify
and hold the other harmless from and against any and all claims, liabilities,
costs and expenses of any kind in any way relating to or arising from a claim by
any Person that such Person acted on behalf of the indemnifying party in
connection with the transactions contemplated herein. The provisions of this
Section 10.21 shall survive the expiration and termination of this Agreement and
the repayment of the Debt.
Section 10.22 No Third Party Beneficiaries. This Agreement and the
other Loan Documents are solely for the benefit of Lender and the Borrower and
nothing contained in this Agreement or the other Loan Documents shall be deemed
to confer upon anyone other than the Lender and the Borrower any right to insist
upon or to enforce the performance or observance of any of the obligations
contained herein or therein. All conditions to the obligations of Lender to make
the Loan hereunder are imposed solely and exclusively for the benefit of Lender
and no other Person shall have standing to require satisfaction of such
conditions in accordance with their terms or be entitled to assume that Lender
will refuse to make the Loan in the absence of strict compliance with any or all
thereof and no other Person shall under any circumstances be deemed to be a
beneficiary of such conditions, any or all of which may be freely waived in
whole or in part by Lender if, in Lender's sole discretion, Lender deems it
advisable or desirable to do so.
Section 10.23 Cross-Default; Cross Collateralization. Borrower
acknowledges that Lender has made the Loan to Borrower upon the security of its
collective interest in the Properties and in reliance upon the aggregate of the
Properties taken together being of greater value as collateral security than the
sum of the Properties taken separately. Borrower agrees that the Mortgages are
and will be cross-collateralized and cross-defaulted with each other so that (i)
an Event of Default under any of the Mortgages shall constitute an Event of
Default under each of the other Mortgages which secure the Note; (ii) an Event
of Default under the Note or this Agreement shall constitute an Event of Default
under each Mortgage; and (iii) each Mortgage shall constitute security for the
Note as if a single blanket lien were placed on all of the Properties as
security for the Note.
Section 10.24 Prior Agreements. This Agreement and the other Loan
Documents contain the entire agreement of the parties hereto and thereto in
respect of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby, and all prior
agreements among or between such parties, whether oral or written are
superseded by the terms of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.
