SECOND AMENDED AND RESTATED CREDIT AGREEMENT
SECOND AMENDED AND RESTATED CREDIT AGREEMENT ("AGREEMENT") dated as of
October 31, 2001, between ENTERTAINMENT PROPERTIES TRUST, a real estate
investment trust duly organized and validly existing under the laws of the State
of Maryland (the "BORROWER"); Megaplex Four, Inc., a Missouri corporation
("MEGAPLEX OWNER"); Theatre Sub, Inc., a Missouri corporation ("ARCHON SPE
HOLDINGS") (Megaplex Owner and Archon SPE Holdings and such other entities as
may execute a joinder to this Agreement to become a "SUBSIDIARY GUARANTOR" are
sometimes referred to individually as a "SUBSIDIARY GUARANTOR" and,
collectively, as the "SUBSIDIARY GUARANTORS" and, together with Borrower, the
"OBLIGORS"), and SFT II, INC., a Delaware corporation ("LENDER").
RECITALS
A. Borrower was a party to a certain Credit Agreement dated as of March
2, 1998 (as amended, the "BONY CREDIT AGREEMENT") with, among others, The Bank
of New York ("BONY"), as administrative agent pertaining to a $200,000,000
credit facility (the "BONY FACILITY"). The BONY Facility, the BONY Credit
Agreement and the documents evidencing, securing and/or governing the BONY
Facility were acquired by iSTAR FINANCIAL INC., a Maryland corporation
("ISTAR"). Borrower, the Subsidiary Guarantors and iStar then amended and
restated the BONY Credit Agreement to, among other things, reduce the size of
the credit facility to $50,000,000 and change the term of the BONY Facility, all
pursuant to the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement dated as of May 18, 2001
among Borrower, the Subsidiary Guarantors, and iStar ("ORIGINAL CREDIT
AGREEMENT").
B. Pursuant to that certain Assignment and Assumption of Note,
Mortgage, and Other Loan Documents made as of June 7, 2001 by iStar and Lender,
iStar assigned the Loan and all Loan Documents, including the Original Credit
Agreement to Lender.
C. Borrower and the Subsidiary Guarantors are engaged as an integrated
group in businesses related to the Permitted Uses (as hereinafter defined). The
integrated operation requires financing on such a basis that credit supplied to
Borrower be made available from time to time to the Subsidiary Guarantors, as
required for the continued successful operation of the Obligors, separately, and
the integrated operation as a whole. In that connection, the Obligors have
requested that Lender amend and restate the Original Credit Agreement to, among
other things, add a third borrowing tranche of $25,000,000, and continue to
extend credit to Borrower (to be made available by Borrower to the Subsidiary
Guarantors) in a new aggregate principal or face amount not exceeding
$75,000,000 to finance the operations of the Obligors for the Permitted Uses.
D. To induce Lender to so modify and extend such credit, Obligors and
Lender propose to enter into this Agreement, pursuant to which Lender will make
loans to Borrower, and each Subsidiary Guarantor will guarantee the credit so
extended to Borrower. Each of the Obligors expects to derive benefit, directly
or indirectly, from the credit so extended to Borrower, both in its separate
capacity and as a member of the integrated group, because the successful
operation of each of the Obligors is dependent on the continued successful
performance of the functions of the integrated group as a whole.
E. Lender is prepared to so modify and extend such credit upon the
terms and conditions hereof.
NOW, THEREFORE, for good and valuable consideration, the receipt and
sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, Obligors and Lender hereby amend
and restate the Original Credit Agreement as set forth herein.

27
to set off and apply any deposit (general or special, time or demand,

are not being provided in the relevant amounts or for the relevant
maturities for purposes of determining the Eurodollar Base Rate as
provided herein; or

conclusive, that the relevant rates of interest referred to in the
definition of "Eurodollar Base Rate" in Section 1.01 upon the basis of

determined are not likely adequately to cover the cost to Lender of
making or maintaining Loan for the applicable Interest Period at the

condition remains in effect, the Loan shall bear interest with the Eurodollar
Base Rate being deemed to be the Base Rate.

request of Lender, such amount or amounts as shall be sufficient (in the
reasonable opinion of Lender) to compensate it for any loss, cost or expense
that Lender determines is attributable to:

existence of an Event of Default, any prepayment or conversion from the
Eurodollar Base Rate to the Base Rate for any reason (including the
acceleration of the Loan pursuant to Section 10) on a date other than
the last day of the applicable Interest Period; or

Lender is entitled to receive pursuant to this Section shall be delivered to

6.01 The Guarantee. The Subsidiary Guarantors hereby jointly
and severally guarantee to Lender and its respective successors and assigns the
prompt payment in full when due (whether at stated maturity, by acceleration or
otherwise) of the principal of and interest on the Loan made by Lender to, and
the Note held by Lender of, Borrower and all other amounts from time to time
owing to Lender by Borrower or any other Obligor under this Agreement, the Note

the terms hereof or thereof (such obligations being herein collectively called
the "Guaranteed Obligations"). The Subsidiary Guarantors hereby further jointly
and severally agree that if Borrower shall fail to pay in full when due (whether
at stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise) any of the Guaranteed
Obligations, the Subsidiary Guarantors will promptly pay the same, without any
demand or notice whatsoever, and that in the case of any extension of time of
payment or renewal of any of the Guaranteed Obligations, the same will be
promptly paid in full when due (whether at extended maturity, by acceleration or
otherwise) in accordance with the terms of such extension or renewal.
6.02 Obligations Unconditional. The obligations of the
Subsidiary Guarantors under Section 6.01 are absolute and unconditional, joint
and several, irrespective of the value, genuineness, validity, regularity or
enforceability of the obligations of Borrower under this Agreement, the Note or
any other agreement or instrument referred to herein or therein, or any
substitution, release or exchange of any other guarantee of or security for any
of the Guaranteed Obligations, and, to the fullest extent permitted by
applicable law, irrespective of any other circumstance whatsoever that might
otherwise constitute a legal or equitable discharge or defense of a surety or
guarantor, it being the intent of this Section 6.02 that the obligations of the
Subsidiary Guarantors hereunder shall be absolute and unconditional, joint and
several, under any and all circumstances. Without limiting the generality of the
foregoing, it is agreed that the occurrence of any one or more of the following
shall not alter or impair the liability of the Subsidiary Guarantors hereunder,
which shall remain absolute and unconditional as described above:
29
(i) at any time or from time to time, without notice
to the Subsidiary Guarantors, the time for any performance of
or compliance with any of the Guaranteed Obligations shall be
extended, or such performance or compliance shall be waived;
(ii) any of the acts mentioned in any of the
provisions of this Agreement or the Note or any other
agreement or instrument referred to herein or therein shall be
done or omitted;
(iii) the maturity of any of the Guaranteed
Obligations shall be accelerated, or any of the Guaranteed
Obligations shall be modified, supplemented or amended in any
respect, or any right under this Agreement or the Note or any
other agreement or instrument referred to herein or therein
shall be waived or any other guarantee of any of the
Guaranteed Obligations or any security therefor shall be
released or exchanged in whole or in part or otherwise dealt
with; or
(iv) any lien or security interest granted to, or in
favor of, Lender as security for any of the Guaranteed
Obligations shall fail to be perfected.
The Subsidiary Guarantors hereby expressly waive diligence,
presentment, demand of payment, protest and all notices whatsoever, and any
requirement that Lender exhaust any right, power or remedy or proceed against
Borrower under this Agreement or the Note or any other agreement or instrument
referred to herein or therein, or against any other Person under any other
guarantee of, or security for, any of the Guaranteed Obligations.
6.03 Reinstatement. The obligations of the Subsidiary
Guarantors under this Section 6 shall be automatically reinstated if and to the
extent that for any reason any payment by or on behalf of Borrower in respect of
the Guaranteed Obligations is rescinded or must be otherwise restored by any
holder of any of the Guaranteed Obligations, whether as a result of any
proceedings in bankruptcy or reorganization or otherwise, and the Subsidiary
Guarantors jointly and severally agree that they will indemnify Lender on demand
for all reasonable costs and expenses (including fees of counsel) incurred by
Lender in connection with such rescission or restoration, including any such
costs and expenses incurred in defending against any claim alleging that such
payment constituted a preference, fraudulent transfer or similar payment under
any bankruptcy, insolvency or similar law.
6.04 Subrogation. The Subsidiary Guarantors hereby jointly and
severally agree that until the indefeasible payment and satisfaction in full of
all Guaranteed Obligations they shall not exercise any right or remedy arising
by reason of any performance by them of their guarantee in Section 6.01, whether
by subrogation or otherwise, against Borrower or any other guarantor of any of
the Guaranteed Obligations or any security for any of the Guaranteed
Obligations.
6.05 Remedies. The Subsidiary Guarantors jointly and severally
agree that, as between the Subsidiary Guarantors and Lender, the obligations of
Borrower under this Agreement, the Note and the other Loan Documents may be
declared to be forthwith due and
30
payable as provided in Section 10 (and shall be deemed to have become
automatically due and payable in the circumstances provided in Section 10) for
purposes of Section 6.01 notwithstanding any stay, injunction or other
prohibition preventing such declaration (or such obligations from becoming
automatically due and payable) as against Borrower and that, in the event of
such declaration (or such obligations being deemed to have become automatically
due and payable), such obligations (whether or not due and payable by Borrower)
shall forthwith become due and payable by the Subsidiary Guarantors for purposes
of Section 6.01.
6.06 Instrument for the Payment of Money. Each Subsidiary
Guarantor hereby acknowledges that the guarantee in this Section 6 constitutes
an instrument for the payment of money, and consents and agrees that Lender, at
its sole option, in the event of a dispute by such Subsidiary Guarantor in the
payment of any moneys due hereunder, shall have the right to bring motions
and/or actions under New York CPLR Section 3213.
6.07 Continuing Guarantee. The guarantee in this Section 6 is
a continuing guarantee, and shall apply to all Guaranteed Obligations whenever
arising.
6.08 Rights of Contribution. The Subsidiary Guarantors and
Borrower hereby agree, as between themselves, that if any Subsidiary Guarantor
shall become an Excess Funding Guarantor (as defined below) by reason of the
payment by such Subsidiary Guarantor of any Guaranteed Obligations, each other
Subsidiary Guarantor and Borrower shall, on demand of such Excess Funding
Guarantor (but subject to the next sentence), pay to such Excess Funding
Guarantor an amount equal to such Subsidiary Guarantor's or Borrower's Pro Rata
Share (as defined below and determined, for this purpose, without reference to
the Properties, debts and liabilities of such Excess Funding Guarantor) of the
Excess Payment (as defined below) in respect of such Guaranteed Obligations. The
payment obligation of a Subsidiary Guarantor and Borrower to any Excess Funding
Guarantor under this Section 6.08 shall be subordinate and subject in right of
payment to the prior payment in full of the obligations of (a) such Subsidiary
Guarantor under the other provisions of this Section 6 and (b) Borrower under
the Loan Documents, and such Excess Funding Guarantor shall not exercise any
right or remedy with respect to such excess until payment and satisfaction in
full of all of such obligations.
For purposes of this Section 6.08, (i) "EXCESS FUNDING GUARANTOR"
means, in respect of any Guaranteed Obligations, a Subsidiary Guarantor that has
paid an amount in excess of its Pro Rata Share of such Guaranteed Obligations,
(ii) "EXCESS PAYMENT" means, in respect of any Guaranteed Obligations, the
amount paid by an Excess Funding Guarantor in excess of its Pro Rata Share of
such Guaranteed Obligations and (iii) "PRO RATA SHARE" means, for any Subsidiary
Guarantor, the ratio (expressed as a percentage) of (x) the amount by which the
aggregate present fair saleable value of all Properties of such Subsidiary
Guarantor (excluding any shares of stock of any other Subsidiary Guarantor)
exceeds the amount of all the debts and liabilities of such Subsidiary Guarantor
(including contingent, subordinated, unmatured and unliquidated liabilities, but
excluding the obligations of such Subsidiary Guarantor hereunder and any
obligations of any other Subsidiary Guarantor that have been Guaranteed by such
Subsidiary Guarantor) to (y) the amount by which the aggregate fair saleable
value of all Properties of Borrower and all of the Subsidiary Guarantors exceeds
the amount of all the debts and liabilities (including contingent, subordinated,
unmatured and unliquidated liabilities, but excluding the obligations of
Borrower and the Subsidiary Guarantors hereunder and under the
31
other Loan Documents) of Borrower and all of the Subsidiary Guarantors,
determined (A) with respect to any Subsidiary Guarantor that is a party hereto
on the Closing Date, as of the Closing Date, and (B) with respect to any other
Subsidiary Guarantor, as of the date such Subsidiary Guarantor becomes a
Subsidiary Guarantor hereunder.
6.09 General Limitation on Guarantee Obligations. In any
action or proceeding involving any state corporate law, or any state or Federal
bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or other law affecting the rights of
creditors generally, if the obligations of any Subsidiary Guarantor under
Section 6.01 would otherwise, taking into account the provisions of Section
6.08, be held or determined to be void, invalid or unenforceable, or
subordinated to the claims of any other creditors, on account of the amount of
its liability under Section 6.01, then, notwithstanding any other provision
hereof to the contrary, the amount of such liability shall, without any further
action by such Subsidiary Guarantor, Lender, or any other Person, be
automatically limited and reduced to the highest amount that is valid and
enforceable and not subordinated to the claims of other creditors as determined
in such action or proceeding.
6.10 California Waivers.
(a) Each Subsidiary Guarantor's liability hereunder is a
guaranty of payment and performance and is not conditioned or
contingent upon the genuineness, validity, regularity or enforceability
of any of the provisions of the Loan Documents, and each Subsidiary
Guarantor hereby waives any and all rights, defenses and benefits under
the California Code of Civil Procedure ("CC") Section 2810 and agrees
that by doing so such Subsidiary Guarantor is liable even if Borrower
had no liability at the time of execution of the Loan Documents or
thereafter ceases to be liable. Each Subsidiary Guarantor hereby waives
any and all rights, defenses and benefits under CC Section 2809 and
agrees that each Subsidiary Guarantor's obligations under this Guaranty
are independent of the obligations of Borrower. Each Subsidiary
Guarantor hereby waives any and all rights, defenses and benefits such
Subsidiary Guarantor may now or hereafter have, under CC Section 2815
or otherwise, to revoke this guaranty. Each Subsidiary Guarantor
further hereby waives any and all rights, defenses and benefits that
such Subsidiary Guarantor may now or hereafter have, under CC Section
2819, 2825 or otherwise, arising out of any release or discharge of
Borrower, in whole or in part, from Borrower's liabilities and/or
obligations under the Loan Documents.
(b) Each Subsidiary Guarantor hereby waives any and all
rights, defenses and benefits under CC Section 2845, 2849 and 2850,
including, without limitation, the right to require Lender to (a)
proceed against any other guarantor, (b) proceed against or exhaust any
security or collateral Lender may hold, or (c) pursue any other right
or remedy for such Subsidiary Guarantor's benefit, and agrees that
Lender may proceed against each Subsidiary Guarantor for the Guaranteed
Obligations without taking any action against any other guarantor and
without proceeding against or exhausting any security or collateral
Lender holds. Each Subsidiary Guarantor agrees that Lender may
unqualifiedly exercise in its sole discretion any or all rights and
remedies available to it against any other guarantor without impairing
Lender's rights and remedies in enforcing this guaranty, under which
each Subsidiary Guarantor's liabilities shall remain independent and
unconditional. Each Subsidiary Guarantor agrees that Lender's exercise
32
of certain of such rights or remedies may affect or eliminate such
Subsidiary Guarantor's right of subrogation or recovery against
Borrower and that each Subsidiary Guarantor may incur a partially or
totally nonreimbursable liability under this guaranty.
(c) Each Subsidiary Guarantor hereby waives all rights,
defenses and benefits under CC Sections 2847, 2848 and 2849 and agrees
that it shall have no right of subrogation or reimbursement against
Borrower, and no right of subrogation against any collateral or
security provided for in the Loan Documents and no right of
contribution against any other guarantor. To the extent each Subsidiary
Guarantor's waiver of these rights of subrogation, reimbursement or
contribution as set forth herein are found by a court of competent
jurisdiction to be void or voidable for any reason, each Subsidiary
Guarantor agrees that its rights of subrogation and reimbursement
against Borrower and such Subsidiary Guarantor's right of subrogation
against any collateral or security shall be junior and subordinate to
Lender's rights against Borrower and to Lender's right, title and
interest in such collateral or security, and each Subsidiary
Guarantor's right of contribution against any other guarantor shall be
junior and subordinate to Lender's rights against such other guarantor.
(d) Without limitation, each Subsidiary Guarantor hereby
waives any and all of its rights of subrogation, reimbursement,
indemnification, and contribution and any other rights and defenses
that are or may become available to each Subsidiary Guarantor by reason
of any of the following: Sections 2787 through 2855 of the California
Civil Code. Without limitation, each Subsidiary Guarantor waives all
rights and defenses that such Subsidiary Guarantor may have because the
Borrower's debt to Lender is secured by real property. This means,
among other things:
(i) Lender may collect from each Subsidiary Guarantor
without first foreclosing on any real or personal property
collateral pledged by the Borrower; and
(ii) If Lender forecloses on any real property
collateral pledged by Borrower:
(A) the amount of the debt of Borrower to Lender may
be reduced only by the price for which that collateral is sold at the
foreclosure sale, even if the collateral is worth more than the sale price; and
(B) Lender may collect from each Subsidiary Guarantor
even if Lender, by foreclosing on the real property collateral, has destroyed
any right any Subsidiary Guarantor may have to collect from Borrower.
This is an unconditional and irrevocable waiver of any rights and defenses each
Subsidiary Guarantor may have because the Borrower's debt to Lender is secured
by real property. These rights and defenses include, but are not limited to, any
rights or defenses based upon Section 580a, 580b, 580d or 726 of the Code of
Civil Procedure.

a Qualified Ground Lease is in default under any material covenant or obligation
set forth in any Qualified Ground Lease.

Westminster Holdings. Borrower has given Lender true and complete copies of said
agreements or the current draft of such agreements, as applicable, and all
instruments and modifications related thereto and, with respect to binding
agreements, there exists no default by Borrower or its Subsidiaries in
connection with their respective obligations thereunder, nor any condition
which, given notice or the passage of time, or both, would constitute a default
or event of default by any of Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries in connection
with their respective obligations thereunder. Neither Borrower nor any

Subsidiaries of Borrower are not a party to any agreement, or otherwise bound by
any agreement which preclude or limits their ability to pay dividends, except as
set forth in the Archon Securitization Loan Documents and Megaplex Nine Loan
Documents. Neither Borrower nor any of its Subsidiaries is a party to any
contract or agreement that has or is expected, in the judgment of their
respective officers, to have any Material Adverse Effect on the respective
businesses of Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries.
8.27 No Material Obligation. Neither Megaplex Owner nor Archon

mortgage, deed of trust, loan agreement or other agreement or instrument to
which such Person is a party or by which such Person or its Properties is

the operation of such Person's Properties and (b) obligations identified on

52
8.28 Title. Borrower (or its Subsidiaries) has good,
marketable and insurable fee simple title or leasehold title, as applicable, to
the real property comprising each Individual Property and good title to the
balance of such Individual Property, free and clear of all Liens whatsoever
except the Permitted Encumbrances, such other Liens as are permitted pursuant to
the Loan Documents and the Liens created by the Loan Documents. The Permitted
Encumbrances in the aggregate do not materially and adversely affect the value,
operation or use of the applicable Individual Property (as currently used) or
Borrower's ability to repay the Loan. Each Mortgage, when properly recorded in
the appropriate records, together with any Uniform Commercial Code financing
statements required to be filed in connection therewith, will create (a) a
valid, perfected first priority lien on the applicable Individual Property,
subject only to Permitted Encumbrances and the Liens created by the Loan
Documents and (b) perfected security interests in and to, and perfected
collateral assignments of, all personality (including the Leases), all in
accordance with the terms thereof, in each case subject only to any applicable
Permitted Encumbrances, such other Liens as are permitted pursuant to the Loan
Documents and the Liens created by the Loan Documents. To the best of Borrower's
knowledge, there are no claims for payment for work, labor or materials
affecting the Properties which are or may become a lien prior to, or of equal
priority with, the Liens created by the Loan Documents, other than those claims
with respect to which insurance coverage is provided pursuant to the related
Title Insurance Policy. Except for Lender's interest under the Pledge Agreement,
Borrower is the holder, free and clear, of 100% of the issued and outstanding
common stock of Megaplex Owner. Megaplex Owner is the owner, free and clear, of
100% of the issued and outstanding stock in Archon SPE Holdings. Archon SPE
Holdings is the owner, free and clear, of 100% of the issued and outstanding
stock in Securitization Property Owner. Except for such stock owned in
Securitization Property Owner, Archon SPE Holdings does not own, and will not
own, any other asset or Property. The Pledge Agreement, with delivery of the
appropriate common stock, will create (a) a valid, perfected first priority lien
on the issued and outstanding stock of Megaplex Owner, and (b) perfected
security interests in and to such stock all in accordance with the terms of the
Pledge Agreement.
8.29 Solvency. Borrower (a) has not entered into the
transaction or executed the Note, this Agreement or any other Loan Documents
with the actual intent to hinder, delay or defraud any creditor and (b) received
reasonably equivalent value in exchange for its obligations under such Loan
Documents. Giving effect to the Loan, the fair saleable value of Borrower's
assets exceeds and will, immediately following the making of the Loan, exceed
Borrower's total liabilities, including subordinated, unliquidated, disputed and
contingent liabilities. The fair saleable value of Borrower's assets is and
will, immediately following the making of the Loan, be greater than Borrower's
probable liabilities, including the maximum amount of its contingent liabilities
on its debts as such debts become absolute and matured. Borrower's assets do not
and, immediately following the making of the Loan 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 debt and liabilities (including contingent liabilities and other
commitments) beyond its ability to pay such debt and liabilities as they mature
(taking into account the timing and amounts of cash to be received by Borrower
and the amounts to be payable on or in respect of obligations of Borrower).
Except as expressly disclosed to Lender in writing, no petition in bankruptcy
has been filed against Borrower or any Subsidiary in the last seven (7) years,
and neither Borrower nor any constituent Person in the last seven (7) years has
ever made an assignment for the benefit of creditors or taken advantage of any
insolvency act for
53
the benefit of debtors. Neither Borrower nor any of its Subsidiaries are
contemplating either the filing of a petition by it under any state or federal
bankruptcy or insolvency laws or the liquidation of all or a major portion of
Borrower's assets or property, and Borrower has no knowledge of any Subsidiary
contemplating the filing of any such petition against it or Obligor or any
Subsidiary.
8.30 No Plan Assets. Borrower is not an "employee benefit
plan," as defined in Section 3(3) of ERISA, subject to Title I of ERISA, and
none of the assets of Borrower constitutes or will constitute "plan assets" of
one or more such plans within the meaning of 29 C.F.R. Section 2510.3-101. In
addition, (a) Borrower is not a "governmental plan" within the meaning of
Section 3(32) of ERISA and (b) transactions by or with Borrower are not subject
to state statutes regulating investment of, and fiduciary obligations with
respect to, governmental plans similar to the provisions of Section 406 of ERISA
or Section 4975 of the Code currently in effect, which prohibit or otherwise
restrict the transactions contemplated by this Loan Agreement.
8.31 Financial Information. All financial data, including any
statements of cash flow and income and operating expense, that have been
prepared by Borrower or any of its Affiliates or, to the best of knowledge of
Borrower, on behalf of Borrower and delivered to Lender in respect of the
Properties (i) are true, complete and correct in all material respects, (ii)
accurately represent the financial condition of the Properties as of the date of
such reports, and (iii) to the extent prepared or audited by an independent
certified public accounting firm, have been prepared in accordance with GAAP
throughout the periods covered, except as disclosed therein. Except for
Permitted Encumbrances, Borrower does not have any contingent liabilities,
liabilities for taxes, unusual forward or long-term commitments or unrealized or
anticipated losses from any unfavorable commitments that are known to Borrower
and reasonably likely to have a materially adverse effect on any Individual
Property or the operation thereof as a megaplex movie theater, except as
referred to or reflected in said financial statements. Since the date of such
financial statements, there has been no materially adverse change in the
financial condition, operations or business of Borrower from that set forth in
said financial statements. Borrower has no reason to believe or suspect that any
financial data provided by or on behalf of any tenant in respect of any of the
Properties and delivered to Lender is not true, complete and correct in all
material respects or does not accurately represent the financial condition of
the related Individual Property as of the date thereof.
8.32 Condemnation. No Condemnation or other proceeding has
been commenced or, to Borrower's best knowledge, is threatened or contemplated
with respect to all or any portion of any Individual Property or for the
relocation of roadways providing access to any Individual Property.
8.33 Utilities and Public Access. Each Individual Property has
rights of access to public ways and is served by water, sewer, sanitary sewer
and storm drain facilities adequate to service such Individual Property for its
respective intended uses. All public utilities necessary or convenient to the
full use and enjoyment of each Individual Property are located either in the
public right-of-way abutting such Individual Property (which are connected so as
to serve such Individual Property without passing over other property) or in
recorded easements serving such Individual Property and such easements are set
forth in and insured by the Title Insurance
54
Policies. All roads necessary for the use of each Individual Property for their
current respective purposes have been completed and dedicated to public use and
accepted by all Governmental Authorities.

of Borrower is a "foreign person" within the meaning of ss.1445(f)(3) of the
Code.

one (1) or more parcels which constitute a separate tax lot or lots and does not
constitute a portion of any other tax lot not a part of such Individual

no pending or proposed special or other assessments for public improvements or
otherwise affecting any Individual Property, nor are there any contemplated
improvements to any Individual Property that may result in such special or other
assessments.
8.37 Enforceability. The Loan Documents are not subject to any
right of rescission, set-off, counterclaim or defense by any Obligor, including
the defense of usury, nor would the operation of any of the terms of the Loan
Documents, or the exercise of any right thereunder, render the Loan Documents
unenforceable (subject to principles of equity and bankruptcy, insolvency and
other laws generally affecting creditors' rights and the enforcement of debtors'
obligations), and Obligors have not asserted any right of rescission, set-off,
counterclaim or defense with respect thereto.
8.38 No Prior Assignment. There are no prior assignments of
the Leases or any portion of the Rents due and payable or to become due and
payable which are presently outstanding.
8.39 Insurance. Borrower or the tenant under a Qualified Lease
has obtained and Borrower has delivered to Lender evidence of insurance
reflecting the insurance coverages, amounts and other requirements set forth in
this Agreement. No claims have been made under any insurance policy evidenced by
such certificates and Borrower has not and, to Borrower's best of knowledge, no
other Person, has done, by act or omission, anything which would impair the
coverage of any such policy.
8.40 Use of Property. Each Megaplex Property is used
exclusively as a movie theater and for other appurtenant and related uses.

uses (collectively, the "Licenses"), have been obtained and are in full force
and effect. Borrower shall keep and maintain, or cause the applicable tenants to
keep and maintain, all licenses necessary for the operation of each Individual
Property as a megaplex movie theater and all appurtenant and related uses. The
use being made of each Individual Property is in conformity with the certificate
of occupancy issued for such Individual Property.
55
8.42 Flood Zone. None of the Improvements on any Individual
Property are located in an area as identified by the Federal Emergency
Management Agency as an area having special flood hazards and, if so located,
the flood insurance required pursuant to Section 9.05 is in full force and
effect with respect to each such Individual Property.
8.43 Physical Condition. To the best knowledge of Borrower,
each Individual Property, including all buildings, improvements, parking
facilities, sidewalks, storm drainage systems, roofs, plumbing systems, HVAC
systems, fire protection systems, electrical systems, equipment, elevators,
exterior sidings and doors, landscaping, irrigation systems and all structural
components, are in good condition, order and repair in all material respects;
there exists no structural or other material defects or damages in any
Individual Property, whether latent or otherwise. Borrower has not received
notice from any insurance company or bonding company of any defects or
inadequacies in any Individual Property, or any part thereof, which would
adversely affect the insurability of the same or cause the imposition of
extraordinary premiums or charges thereon or of any termination or threatened
termination of any policy of insurance or bond.
8.44 Boundaries. All the improvements located on an Individual
Property lie wholly within the boundaries and building restriction lines of such
Individual Property, and no improvements on adjoining properties encroach upon
such Individual Property, and no easements or other encumbrances upon the
applicable Individual Property encroach upon any of the improvements, so as to
affect the value or marketability of the applicable Individual Property except
those which are insured against by title insurance.
8.45 Leases. The Individual Properties are not subject to any
leases, licenses, or other possessory interests other than the Qualified Leases.
Borrower or the relevant Obligor is the owner and lessor of landlord's interest
in the Qualified Leases. No Person has any possessory interest in any Individual
Property or right to occupy the same except under and pursuant to the provisions
of the Qualified Leases. The Qualified Leases are in full force and effect and
there are no material defaults thereunder by either party and there are no
conditions that, with the passage of time or the giving of notice, or both,
would constitute defaults thereunder. No Rent (including security deposits) has
been paid more than one (1) month in advance of its due date. All work to be
performed by Borrower under each Qualified Lease has been performed as required
and has been accepted by the applicable tenant, and any payments, free rent,
partial rent, rebate of rent or other payments, credits, allowances or
abatements required to be given by Borrower to any tenant has already been
received by such tenant. There has been no prior sale, transfer or assignment,
hypothecation or pledge of any Qualified Lease or of the Rents received therein.
No tenant under a Qualified Lease has assigned its Lease or sublet all or any
portion of the premises demised thereby, no tenant under a Qualified Lease or
such other tenant holds its leased premises under assignment or sublease, nor
does anyone except the related tenant under a Qualified Lease or such other
tenant and its employees occupy such leased premises. No tenant under any
Qualified Lease has a right or option pursuant to such lease or otherwise to
purchase all or any part of the leased premises or the building of which the
leased premises are a part. No tenant under any Qualified Lease has any right or
option for additional space in the Improvements. To the best knowledge of
Borrower, no hazardous wastes or toxic substances, as defined by applicable
federal, state or local statutes, rules and regulations, have been disposed,
stored or treated by any tenant under any Lease on or about the leased premises
56
nor does Borrower have any knowledge of any tenant's intention to use its leased
premises for any activity which, directly or indirectly, involves the use,
generation, treatment, storage, disposal or transportation of any petroleum
product or any toxic or hazardous chemical, material, substance or waste.
8.46 Survey. The Survey for each Individual Property delivered

the provisions of Section 7.01(l) hereof, and does not fail to reflect any
material matter affecting such Individual Property or the title thereto.

for any other services rendered to Borrower, or any other Affiliate of Borrower
relating to the Loan transaction contemplated hereby.

obligations.

required to pay the Loan is insufficient to pay such
obligation;
(xxviii) shall consider the interests of its
creditors in connection with all corporate actions;
(xxix) does not and will not have its obligations
guaranteed by any Affiliate;
(xxx) has complied and will comply with all of the
terms and provisions contained in its organizational
documents. The statement of facts contained in its
organizational documents are true and correct and will remain
true and correct; and
(xxxi) has and shall maintain at least 1 Independent
Director and caused the articles of incorporation for such
Person to require at least 1 Independent Director.
(b) The representations, warranties and covenants set forth in
Section 8.49 shall survive for so long as any amount remains payable to
Lender under this Agreement or any other Loan Document.
60
(c) All of the factual assumptions made in any insolvency
opinion, including any exhibits attached thereto, are true and correct
in all respects and any factual assumptions made in any subsequent
non-consolidation opinion delivered in connection with the Loan
Documents (an "Additional Insolvency Opinion"), including any exhibits
attached thereto, will have been and shall be true and correct in all
respects. Borrower has complied and will comply with all of the factual
assumptions made with respect to it in the Insolvency Opinion. Borrower
will have complied and will comply with all of the factual assumptions
made with respect to it in any Additional Insolvency Opinion. Each
entity other than Borrower with respect to which a factual assumption
shall be made in any Additional Insolvency Opinion will have complied
and will comply with all of the factual assumptions made with respect
to it in any Additional Insolvency Opinion.
8.50 Management of Properties. With the exception of the
Westminster Retail Property once acquired, each Individual Property is
self-managed by the Obligor which owns it (or by a subsidiary of such Obligor)
in so far as each Individual Property is leased to a tenant which is required to
perform typical property management functions (other than collection of Rents
under Qualified Leases) pursuant to the related Qualified Lease and no third
party property manager has been retained with respect to any Individual
Property.
8.51 Ground Leases. Borrower covenants, represents and
warrants to Lender with respect to the Qualified Ground Leases, if any, as
follows:
(a) Except as previously disclosed to Lender, no default has
occurred and is continuing under the terms of any Qualified Ground
Lease, and no event has occurred that, with the passage of time or
service of notice, or both, would constitute an event of default under
any Qualified Ground Lease.
(b) Each Qualified Ground Lease is in full force and effect.
(c) All rents, additional rents, percentage rents and all
other charges due and payable under each Qualified Ground Lease have
been fully paid.
(d) Subject to the Permitted Encumbrances, Megaplex Owner is
the owner of the entire lessee's interest in and under each Qualified
Ground Lease and has the right and authority under each Qualified
Ground Lease to execute this Agreement, the related Mortgage and other
related Loan Documents, and to encumber Megaplex Owner's interest in
the Qualified Ground Leases.
(e) Borrower shall, at its sole cost and expense, promptly and
timely perform and observe, or cause Megaplex Owner or the applicable
tenant under a Qualified Lease to promptly and timely perform and
observe, all the material terms, covenants and conditions required to
be performed and observed by Megaplex Owner as lessee under each
Qualified Ground Lease (including the payment of all rent, additional
rent, percentage rent and other charges required to be paid under such
Qualified Ground Lease).
(f) If Borrower or Megaplex Owner shall violate any of the
covenants specified above, then, subject to the applicable Qualified
Ground Lease terms, Borrower
61
and Megaplex Owner each grant Lender the right (but not the obligation)
to cause the default or defaults under any Qualified Ground Lease to be
remedied and otherwise exercise any and all rights of Borrower or
Megaplex Owner under each Qualified Ground Lease, as may be necessary
to prevent or cure any default, provided such actions are necessary to
protect Lender's interest under this instrument, and Lender shall have
the right subject to the terms of the Qualified Ground Lease to enter
all or any portion of the Megaplex Property at such times and in such
manner as Lender deems necessary, to prevent or to cure any such
default.
(g) The actions or payments of Lender to cure any default by
Borrower under any Qualified Ground Lease shall not remove or waive, as
between any Obligor and Lender, the default that occurred under this
Agreement by virtue of the default by Borrower or Megaplex Owner under
any Qualified Ground Lease. All sums expended by Lender to cure any
such default shall be paid by Borrower to Lender, upon demand, with
interest on such sum at the rate set forth in the Note from the date
such sum is expended to and including the date the reimbursement
payment is made to the Lender. All such indebtedness shall be deemed to
be secured by the Mortgages and other Loan Documents.
(h) Borrower shall notify Lender promptly in writing after any
Obligor receives notice of the occurrence of any material default by
the lessor under any Qualified Ground Lease or the occurrence of any
event that, with the passage of time or service of notice, or both,
would constitute a material default by the lessor under any Qualified
Ground Lease, and the receipt by Borrower of any notice (written or
otherwise) from the lessor under any Qualified Ground Lease noting or
claiming the occurrence of any default by any Obligor under any
Qualified Ground Lease or the occurrence of any event that, with the
passage of time or service of notice, or both, would constitute a
default by any Obligor under any Qualified Ground Lease. Borrower shall
promptly deliver to Lender a copy of any such written notice of
default.
(i) Within thirty (30) days after written demand by Lender,
Borrower shall use reasonable efforts (other than payments to the
lessor) to obtain from the lessor under any Qualified Ground Lease and
furnish to Lender the estoppel certificate of such lessor stating the
date through which rent has been paid and whether or not there are any
defaults thereunder and specifying the nature of such claimed defaults,
if any.
(j) Subject to the applicable Qualified Ground Lease terms,
Borrower shall, and shall cause Megaplex Owner to, promptly execute,
acknowledge and deliver to Lender such instruments as may reasonably be
required to permit Lender to cure any default under any Qualified
Ground Lease or permit Lender to take such other action required to
enable Lender to cure or remedy the matter in default and preserve the
security interest of Lender under the Loan Documents with respect to
any Property which is the subject of a Qualified Ground Lease. Borrower
and Megaplex Owner each irrevocably appoint Lender as its true and
lawful attorney-in-fact to do, in its name or otherwise, any and all
acts and to execute any and all documents that are necessary to
preserve any rights of Borrower or Megaplex Owner under or with respect
to the Qualified Ground Leases, including the right to effectuate any
extension or renewal of any Qualified Ground Lease, or to preserve any
rights of Borrower whatsoever in respect
62
of any part of any Qualified Ground Lease (and the above powers granted
to Lender are coupled with an interest and shall be irrevocable).
(k) The generality of the provisions of this section relating
to the Qualified Ground Leases shall not be limited by other provisions
of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents setting forth particular
obligations of any Obligor that are also required of Borrower with
respect to the Qualified Ground Leases or the related Properties
subject to such Qualified Ground Lease.
(l) Borrower shall not, and shall not permit Megaplex Owner
to, without Lender's prior written consent, surrender, terminate,
forfeit, or suffer or permit the surrender, termination or forfeiture
of, or change, modify or amend in a material or adverse manner, any
Qualified Ground Lease. Consent to one amendment, change, agreement or
modification shall not be deemed to be a waiver of the right to require
consent to other, future or successive amendments, changes, agreements
or modifications. Any acquisition of any lessor's interest in any
Qualified Ground Lease by Borrower or any affiliate of Borrower shall
be accomplished by Borrower in such a manner so as to avoid a merger of
the interests of lessor and lessee in such Qualified Ground Lease,
unless consent to such merger is granted by Lender.
(m) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this
Agreement with respect to the Qualified Ground Leases:
(i) The lien of the related Mortgage attaches to all
of Megaplex Owner's rights and remedies at any time arising
under or pursuant to Subsection 365(h) of the Bankruptcy Code,
11 U.S.C. Sections 101 et seq. (the "Bankruptcy Code"),
including all of Megaplex Owner's rights, as debtor, to remain
in possession of the related Property subject to such
Qualified Ground Lease.
(ii) Neither Borrower nor Megaplex Owner shall,
without Lender's written consent, elect to treat any Qualified
Ground Lease as terminated under subsection 365(h)(1) of the
Bankruptcy Code. Any such election made without Lender's prior
written consent shall be void.
(iii) As security for the Loan, Borrower and Megaplex
Owner unconditionally assign, transfer and set over to Lender
all of Borrower's claims and rights to the payment of damages
arising from any rejection by the lessor under any Qualified
Ground Lease under the Bankruptcy Code. Lender and Borrower
and Megaplex Owner shall proceed jointly or in the name of
Borrower or Megaplex Owner in respect of any claim, suit,
action or proceeding relating to the rejection of any
Qualified Ground Lease, including the right to file and
prosecute any proofs of claim, complaints, motions,
applications, notices and other documents in any case in
respect of lessor under the Bankruptcy Code. This assignment
constitutes a present, irrevocable and unconditional
assignment of the foregoing claims, rights and remedies, and
shall continue in effect until all of the Loan and other
obligations of Borrower to Lender under the Loan Documents
shall have been satisfied and discharged in full. Any amounts
received by Lender
63
or Borrower or Megaplex Owner as damages arising out of the
rejection of any Qualified Ground Lease as aforesaid shall be
applied first to all costs and expenses of Lender (including
attorneys' fees and costs) incurred in connection with the
exercise of any of its rights or remedies under this Section
8.51(m) and then in accordance with the other applicable
provisions of this Agreement.
(iv) If, pursuant to subsection 365(h) of the
Bankruptcy Code, Borrower or Megaplex Owner seeks to offset,
against the rent reserved in any Qualified Ground Lease, the
amount of any damages caused by the nonperformance by the
lessor of any of its obligations thereunder after the
rejection by lessor of any Qualified Ground Lease under the
Bankruptcy Code, then Borrower or Megaplex Owner shall not
effect any offset of the amounts so objected to by Lender. If
Lender has failed to object as aforesaid within ten (10) days
after notice from Borrower or Megaplex Owner in accordance
with the first sentence of this subsection, Borrower or
Megaplex Owner may proceed to offset the amounts set forth in
such notice.
(v) If any action, proceeding, motion or notice shall
be commenced or filed in respect of any lessor of all or any
part of the leasehold property in connection with any case
under the Bankruptcy Code, Lender, Borrower and Megaplex Owner
shall cooperatively conduct and control any such litigation
with counsel agreed upon between Borrower, Lender and Megaplex
Owner in connection with such litigation. Borrower and
Megaplex Owner shall, upon demand, pay to Lender all costs and
expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees and costs)
actually paid or actually incurred by Lender in connection
with the cooperative prosecution or conduct of any such
proceedings. All such costs and expenses shall be secured by
the lien of the Mortgages and other Loan Documents.
(vi) Borrower and Megaplex Owner shall promptly,
after obtaining knowledge of such filing notify Lender orally
of any filing by or against any lessor under a Qualified
Ground Lease of a petition under the Bankruptcy Code. Borrower
and Megaplex Owner shall thereafter promptly give written
notice of such filing to Lender, setting forth any information
available to Borrower and Megaplex Owner as to the date of
such filing, the court in which such petition was filed, and
the relief sought in such filing. Borrower shall promptly
deliver to Lender any and all notices, summonses, pleadings,
applications and other documents received by Borrower in
connection with any such petition and any proceedings relating
to such petition.
(n) In addition to those events otherwise set forth in this
Agreement, the occurrence of any of the following events shall, at
Lender's option, constitute an Event of Default, as such term is
defined in Section 10 hereof and, upon the occurrence of an Event of
Default, Lender shall have all of the rights and remedies available to
it under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents:
64
(i) A breach or default by Borrower under any
condition or obligation contained in any Qualified Ground
Lease that is not cured within any applicable cure period
provided therein;
(ii) The occurrence of any event or condition that
gives the lessor under any Qualified Ground Lease a right to
terminate or cancel such Qualified Ground Lease unless cured
by Borrower or Megaplex Owner (in case of nonpayment by a
tenant under the applicable Qualified Lease); or
(iii) Borrower's or Megaplex Owner's failure to
permit Lender and/or its representatives at all reasonable
times upon reasonable prior written notice, but subject to the
applicable Qualified Ground Lease and Qualified Lease
respective terms, to make investigation or examination
concerning Borrower's or Megaplex Owner's performance and
observance of the terms, covenants and conditions of any
Qualified Ground Lease.
(o) Borrower shall not, without Lender's written consent, fail
to exercise or cause Megaplex Owner to exercise any option or right to
renew or extend the term of any Qualified Ground Lease at least six (6)
months prior to the date of termination of any such option or right,
and shall give immediate written notice to Lender and shall execute,
acknowledge, deliver and record any document requested by Lender to
evidence the lien of the applicable Mortgage on such extended or
renewed lease term; provided, however, Borrower shall not be required
to exercise any particular such option or right to renew or extend to
the extent Borrower shall have received the prior written consent of
Lender (which consent may be withheld by Lender in its sole and
absolute discretion) allowing Borrower to forego exercising such option
or right to renew or extend. If Borrower shall fail to exercise or
cause Megaplex Owner to exercise any such option or right as aforesaid,
Lender may exercise the option or right as Megaplex Owner's and
Borrower's agent and attorney-in-fact as provided above in Lender's own
name or in the name of and on behalf of a nominee of Lender, as Lender
may determine in the exercise of its sole and absolute discretion.
(p) Upon the request of Lender, Borrower shall deposit with
Lender a copy of each fully executed Qualified Ground Lease certified
by Borrower as true and correct, as further security to Lender, until
all of the obligations are fully paid and performed.
(q) Neither Borrower nor Megaplex Owner shall waive, excuse,
condone or in any way release or discharge the lessor under any
Qualified Ground Lease of or from such lessor's material obligations,
covenant and/or conditions under such Qualified Ground Lease without
the prior written consent of Lender.
(r) To the best of Borrower's knowledge, as of the Effective
Date, there has been no event which would materially alter information
contained in those ground lessor estoppels delivered by Borrower to
Lender with respect to the Qualified Ground Leases prior to the date
hereof.
65
8.52 Illegal Activity. No portion of any Individual Property
has been or will be purchased by Borrower or any of its Affiliates with proceeds
of any illegal activity.
8.53 No Change in Facts or Circumstances; Disclosure. All
information submitted by Borrower to Lender and to the best of knowledge of
Borrower, submitted on behalf of Borrower to Lender, including all financial
statements, rent rolls, reports, certificates and other documents submitted in
connection with the Loan or in satisfaction of the terms thereof and all
statements of fact made by Borrower in this Agreement or in any other Loan
Document, are accurate, complete and correct in all material respects. Lender
acknowledges Borrower has relied on Tenant Information, which Borrower
represents and warrants that Borrower has no knowledge that such Tenant
Information is incorrect. Except for the Loews Lease, there has been no material
adverse change in any condition, fact, circumstance or event that would make any
such information inaccurate, incomplete or otherwise misleading in any material
respect or that otherwise materially adversely affects or might materially
adversely affect the use, operation or value of any Individual Property or the
business operations or the financial condition of Borrower unless such change
has been fully disclosed in writing to Lender. Borrower has disclosed to Lender
all material facts and has not failed to disclose any material fact that could
cause any provided information or representation or warranty made herein to be
materially misleading.
8.54 Inventory. Borrower is the owner of all of the equipment
and assets at the Individual Properties or used in connection with the
Individual Properties, other than those owned by the tenant under a Qualified
Lease and Borrower shall not lease any equipment or assets other than as
permitted hereunder.
8.55 Survival of Representations. Borrower agrees that all of
the representations and warranties of Borrower set forth 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.
Section 9. Covenants of Borrower. Borrower covenants and agrees with
Lender that, so long as the Loan is outstanding and until payment in full of all
amounts payable by Borrower hereunder:
9.01 Financial Statements and Other Information. Borrower
shall deliver to Lender:

and its Subsidiaries as at the end of, and for, such fiscal year in
accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and a
statement of such accountants to the effect that, in making the

accounting matters, and (ii) in the case of such consolidating
statements and balance sheets, by a certificate of a Financial Officer

each such month accompanied by an Officer's Certificate with respect

68
(i) promptly upon the mailing thereof to the shareholders of
Borrower generally, copies of all financial statements, reports and

(j) contemporaneously with (or promptly after) the filing or

Borrower (other than the Loan) for borrowed money, to the extent that
the information or disclosure contained in such material refers to or
could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect;
(k) from time to time such other information regarding the
financial condition, operations, business or prospects of Borrower, any
of its Subsidiaries, including any Obligor, the Real Estate Properties
and any unconsolidated subordinary or minority in interests (including
any Plan or Multiemployer Plan and any reports or other information
required to be filed under ERISA), or compliance with the terms of this
Agreement and the other Loan Documents, as Lender may reasonably
request; provided, however, Borrower's obligation to deliver any
information with respect to a lessee of any Real Estate Property shall
be limited to the information which Borrower or any other Obligor
actually has in its possession; and
(l) Promptly after receipt, or giving, as applicable, of each
notice, demand, request, certificate, report, financial statement or
other material correspondence given to, or received by, Borrower or any
of its subsidiaries, from any tenant or any Lender or any ground
lessors.
(m) Throughout the term of the Loan and until the Loan and all
obligations of Borrower to Lender have been paid in full, Borrower
shall operate and cause Megaplex Owner and all of its direct and
indirect subsidiaries to operate in accordance with an annual budget
which has been approved by Borrower and delivered to Lender (each, an
"APPROVED ANNUAL BUDGET"), except as permitted by subsection (n) below.
The Approved Annual Budget shall be revised (only with Lender's
approval) to include any new acquisitions by Megaplex Owner or its
Subsidiaries. For the partial year commencing on the date hereof, the
Approved Annual Budget is attached hereto as Exhibit I. For each
calendar year thereafter, Borrower shall deliver to Lender the Annual
Budget not later than sixty (60) days prior to the commencement of such
calendar year in form reasonably satisfactory to Lender. Until such
time as a new Approved Annual Budget is delivered to Lender, the most
recently Approved Annual Budget delivered to Lender shall apply.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, at such times and from time to time
while an Event of Default exists, (i) Lender shall have the right to
approve the then applicable Approved Annual Budget, and (ii) any
portion of the then applicable Approved Annual Budget disapproved by
Lender shall not be deemed a part of the Approved Annual Budget. Lender
shall give Borrower notice of any such disapproval.
(n) In the event that, Borrower or Megaplex Owner must incur
an extraordinary operating expense or capital expense not set forth in
the Approved Annual Budget (each an "EXTRAORDINARY EXPENSE"), then
Borrower shall promptly deliver to Lender a reasonably detailed
explanation of such Extraordinary Expense; provided that if such
Extraordinary Expense occurs during the occurrence of an Event of
Default such
69
Extraordinary Expense must be approved in writing by Lender prior to
being paid or incurred.
(o) If requested by Lender, Borrower shall provide Lender,
promptly upon request, with any other or additional financial
statements, or financial, statistical or operating information, as
shall be reasonably requested by the Lender (to the extent any such
information regarding the operation of any Individual Property by a
tenant under a Qualified Lease is available to Borrower).
(p) Any reports, statements or other information required to
be delivered under this Agreement shall be delivered (i) in paper form,
(ii) on a diskette, and (iii) if requested by Lender and within the
capabilities of Borrower's data systems without change or modification
thereto, in electronic form and prepared using a Microsoft Word for
Windows or WordPerfect for Windows files (which files may be prepared
using a spreadsheet program and saved as word processing files).
Obligors agree that Lender may disclose information regarding the
Individual Properties and such Obligor that is provided to Lender
pursuant to this Section in connection with the Securitization to such
parties requesting such information in connection with such
Securitization.
(q) Notwithstanding the foregoing, provisions of Sections
9.01(a), (b), (c), (d) and (e) shall be suspended and waived by Lender
for so long as and to the extent Borrower is a reporting company under
the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and copies of
Borrower's form 10-K, 10-Q and annual reports are delivered to Lender
promptly (and in any event within 10 business days) following their
filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
9.02 Existence; Compliance with Legal Requirements; Insurance.
Borrower shall do or cause to be done all things necessary to preserve, renew
and keep in full force and effect its existence, rights, licenses, permits and
franchises and comply, or cause applicable tenants to comply, with all Legal
Requirements applicable to it and the Individual Properties. There shall never
be committed by Borrower (or any other Obligor) and, if known to Borrower,
Borrower shall not suffer or permit to be committed by any other Person in
occupancy of or involved with the operation or use of any of the Individual
Properties, any act or omission affording the federal government or any state or
local government the right of forfeiture as against any Individual Property or
any part thereof or any monies paid in performance of Borrower's obligations
under any of the Loan Documents. Borrower hereby covenants and agrees not to
commit, permit or suffer to exist any act or omission affording such right of
forfeiture. Obligors shall at all times maintain, preserve and protect all
franchises and trade names and preserve all the remainder of its property used
or useful in the conduct of its business and shall, or shall cause the tenants
under Qualified Leases to, keep the Individual Properties in good working order
and repair, and from time to time make, or cause to be made, all reasonably
necessary repairs, renewals, replacements, betterments and improvements thereto,
subject to the terms of any applicable Qualified Lease, all as more fully
provided in any applicable mortgage. Borrower shall, or shall cause the
applicable tenant under Qualified Leases to, keep each Individual Property
insured at all times by financially sound and reputable insurers, to such extent
and against such risks, and Borrower shall, or shall cause the applicable tenant
under a Qualified Lease to, maintain liability and such other insurance, as is
more fully provided in this
70
Agreement. After prior written notice to Lender and subject to the terms of a
Qualified Lease (other than and specifically excluding the Loews Lease),
Borrower or the tenant under a Qualified Lease, at its own expense, may contest
by appropriate legal proceeding promptly initiated and conducted in good faith
and with due diligence, the validity of any Legal Requirement, the applicability
of any Legal Requirement to Borrower, the applicable tenant under a Qualified
Lease or any Individual Property or any alleged violation of any Legal
Requirement, provided that (i) no Default or Event of Default has occurred and
remains uncured; (ii) such contest is permitted under the provisions of any
mortgage or deed of trust applicable thereto; (iii) such proceeding shall be
permitted under and be conducted in accordance with the provisions of any
instrument to which Borrower or any Obligor is subject and shall not constitute
a default thereunder and such proceeding shall be conducted in accordance with
all applicable statutes, laws and ordinances; (iv) no Individual Property nor
any part thereof or interest therein will be in danger of being sold, forfeited,
terminated, cancelled or lost; (v) promptly upon final determination thereof,
Borrower shall, or shall cause the applicable Subsidiary Guarantor or tenant
under a Qualified Lease to, comply with any such Legal Requirement determined to
be valid or applicable or cure any violation of any Legal Requirement; (vi) such
proceeding shall suspend the enforcement of the contested Legal Requirement
against Borrower, the Subsidiary Guarantor, the applicable tenant, and any

($1,000,000) per occurrence; (B) to continue at not less than
the aforesaid limit until required to be changed by Lender in
writing by reason of changed economic conditions making such
protection inadequate; and (C) to cover at least the following
hazards: (1) premises and operations; (2) products and

loss payees and insureds. The Policies shall be issued by financially
sound and responsible insurance companies authorized to do business in
the State and having a financial strength rating of not less than the
better of the rating specified in Section 9.04(a) and "A2" or better by

Borrower shall cause certificates of insurance evidencing the Policies
specified in Section 9.05(b) accompanied by evidence satisfactory to
Lender of payment of the premiums due thereunder (the "Insurance
Premiums"), to be delivered by Borrower to Lender.
(d) Any blanket insurance Policy shall specifically allocate
to the Individual Property the amount of coverage from time to time
required hereunder and shall otherwise provide the same protection as

evidence that all insurance required hereunder is in full force and
effect, Lender shall have the right, without notice to any Obligor, to
take such action as Lender deems necessary to protect its interest in
the Individual Properties, including the obtaining of such insurance
coverage as Lender in its sole discretion deems appropriate. All
premiums incurred by Lender in connection with such action or in
obtaining such insurance and keeping it in effect shall be paid by
Borrower to Lender upon demand and, until paid, shall be secured by the
Mortgages and shall bear interest at the Default Rate.

the applicable tenant under a Qualified Lease, if so required, to, pay all Taxes
and Other Charges now or hereafter levied or assessed or imposed against the
Individual Properties or any part thereof as the same become due and payable;
provided, however, Borrower's obligation to directly pay, or cause the
applicable tenant to directly pay, Taxes with respect to an Individual Property

the date the same shall become delinquent (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 9.30 hereof). Borrower
shall not suffer and shall promptly cause to be paid by the tenant under a
Qualified Lease for such property and discharged any Lien or charge whatsoever
which may be or become a Lien or charge against the Individual Properties, and

Lease, 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 occurred and remains
uncured; (ii) such contest is permitted under the provisions of any mortgage or
deed of trust superior in lien to the applicable Mortgage; (iii) such proceeding

part thereof or interest therein will be in danger of being sold, forfeited,
terminated, cancelled or lost; (v) Borrower or the applicable tenant under a
Qualified Lease shall promptly upon final determination thereof pay the amount
of any such Taxes or Other Charges, together with all costs, interest and
penalties which may be payable in connection therewith; (vi) such proceeding
shall suspend the collection of such contested Taxes or Other Charges from the
applicable Individual Property; and (vii) Borrower shall furnish, or shall cause
the applicable tenant under a Qualified Lease to furnish, such security as may
be required in the proceeding, or as may be requested by Lender but subject to
the terms of any Qualified Lease applicable thereto, to insure the payment of
any such Taxes or Other Charges, together with all interest and penalties
thereon. Lender may pay over any such cash deposit or part thereof held by
Lender to the claimant entitled thereto at any time when, in the judgment of
Lender, the entitlement of such claimant is established or any Individual
Property (or part thereof or interest therein) shall be in danger of being sold,
forfeited, terminated, cancelled or lost or there shall be any danger of the
Lien of any Mortgage being primed by any related Lien.
9.26 Access to Individual Properties. Borrower shall permit

connection therewith;
(b) execute and deliver (or cause execution and delivery by
other Obligors) to Lender such documents, instruments, certificates,
assignments and other writings, and do such other acts necessary or
desirable, to evidence, preserve and/or protect the collateral

under the Loan Documents, as Lender may reasonably require; and
(c) do and execute (or cause other Obligors to do and execute)
all and such further lawful and reasonable acts, conveyances and
assurances for the better and more effective carrying out of the
intents and purposes of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, as
Lender shall reasonably require from time to time.
9.28 Condemnation. Subject to Section 9.29 hereof and the
terms of the applicable Qualified Lease, Borrower shall promptly give Lender
notice of the actual or threatened commencement of any proceeding for the
Condemnation of any Individual Property and shall deliver to Lender copies of
any and all papers served in connection with such proceedings. Lender may
participate in any such proceedings, and Borrower shall from time to time
deliver to Lender all instruments requested by it to permit such participation.
Borrower shall, at its expense, or shall cause tenant under a Qualified Lease,
to the extent applicable, to, diligently prosecute any such proceedings and
shall consult with Lender, its attorneys and experts, and cooperate with them in
the carrying on or defense of any such proceedings. Notwithstanding any taking
by any public or quasi-public authority through Condemnation or otherwise
(including any transfer made in lieu of or in anticipation of the exercise of
such taking), Borrower shall continue to pay the Loan and all other obligations
of Borrower to Lender under the Loan Documents at the time and in the manner
provided for its payment in the Note and in this Agreement and the Loan and all
other obligations of Borrower to Lender under the Loan Documents shall not be
reduced until any Award shall have been actually received and applied by Lender,
after the deduction of expenses of collection, to the reduction or discharge of
the Loan and all other obligations of Borrower to Lender under the Loan
Documents. 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 herein or in the Note. If any Individual Property
or any portion thereof is taken by a condemning authority, Borrower shall
promptly commence and diligently prosecute, or shall cause the applicable tenant
under a Qualified Lease, to the extent applicable, to promptly commence and
diligently prosecute, the Restoration of the applicable Individual Property and
otherwise comply with the provisions of Section 9.29. Subject to Section 9.29(e)
hereof, if any Individual Property is sold, through foreclosure or otherwise,
prior to the receipt by Lender of the Award, Lender shall have the right,
whether or not a deficiency judgment on the Note shall have been sought,
recovered or denied, to receive the Award, or a portion thereof sufficient to
pay the Loan and all other obligations of Borrower to Lender under the Loan
Documents.

or (2) in the event the Net Proceeds are
Condemnation Proceeds, less than ten percent
(10%) of the land constituting the
Individual Property is taken, and such land
is located along the perimeter or periphery
of the Individual Property, and no portion
of the Improvements is located on such land;
(C) The applicable Qualified Lease shall remain
in full force and effect during and after
the completion of the Restoration,
notwithstanding the occurrence of any such
fire or other casualty or taking, whichever
the case may be;
(D) Borrower shall commence, or shall cause the
tenant under a Qualified Lease, to the
extent applicable, to commence, the
Restoration as soon as reasonably

may be, occurs) and shall diligently pursue,
or shall cause the tenant under a Qualified
Lease, to the extent applicable, to pursue,
the same to satisfactory completion;

Borrower;
(F) Lender shall be satisfied that the

as may be required under applicable zoning
law, ordinance, rule or regulation in order
to repair and restore the applicable
Individual Property to the condition it was

condition it was in immediately prior to
such taking, as applicable or (4) the
expiration of the insurance coverage
referred to in Section 9.05(b);
(G) the Individual Property and the use thereof
after the Restoration will be in compliance
with and permitted under all applicable
zoning laws, ordinances, rules and
regulations;
(H) the Restoration shall be done and completed
by Borrower or the tenant under a Qualified
Lease, to the extent applicable, in an

sufficient in Lender's discretion to cover
the cost of the Restoration.
(ii) The Net Proceeds shall be held by Lender in an
interest-bearing Eligible Account and, until disbursed in
accordance with the provisions of this Section 9.29(b), shall
constitute additional security for the Loan and other
obligations under the Loan Documents. The Net Proceeds shall
be disbursed by Lender to, or as directed by, Borrower from
time to time during the course of the Restoration, upon
receipt of evidence satisfactory to Lender that (A) all
materials
88
installed and work and labor performed (except to the extent
that they are to be paid for out of the requested
disbursement) in connection with the Restoration have been
paid for in full, and (B) there exist no notices of pendency,
stop orders, mechanic's or materialman's liens or notices of
intention to file same, or any other liens or encumbrances of
any nature whatsoever on the Individual Property which have
not either been fully bonded to the satisfaction of Lender and
discharged of record or in the alternative fully insured to
the satisfaction of Lender by the title company issuing the
Title Insurance Policy.
(iii) All plans and specifications required in
connection with the Restoration shall be subject to prior
review and acceptance in all respects by Lender and by an
independent consulting engineer selected by Lender (the
"CASUALTY CONSULTANT"). Lender shall have the use of the plans
and specifications and all permits, licenses and approvals
required or obtained in connection with the Restoration. The
identity of the contractors, subcontractors and materialmen
engaged in the Restoration, as well as the contracts under
which they have been engaged, shall be subject to prior review
and acceptance by Lender and the Casualty Consultant. All
costs and expenses incurred by Lender in connection with
making the Net Proceeds available for the Restoration
including reasonable counsel fees and disbursements and the
Casualty Consultant's fees, shall be paid by Borrower.
(iv) In no event shall Lender be obligated to make
disbursements of the Net Proceeds in excess of an amount equal
to the costs actually incurred from time to time for work in
place as part of the Restoration, as certified by the Casualty
Consultant, minus the Casualty Retainage. The term "Casualty
Retainage" shall mean an amount equal to ten percent (10%) of
the costs actually incurred for work in place as part of the
Restoration, as certified by the Casualty Consultant, until
the Restoration has been completed. The Casualty Retainage
shall in no event, and notwithstanding anything to the
contrary set forth above in this Section 9.29(b), be less than
the amount actually held back by Borrower or the tenant under
a Qualified Lease, to the extent applicable, from contractors,
subcontractors and materialmen engaged in the Restoration. The
Casualty Retainage shall not be released until the Casualty
Consultant certifies to Lender that the Restoration has been
completed in accordance with the provisions of this Section
9.29(b) and that all approvals necessary for the re-occupancy
and use of the Individual Property have been obtained from all
appropriate governmental and quasi-governmental authorities,
and Lender receives evidence satisfactory to Lender that the
costs of the Restoration have been paid in full or will be
paid in full out of the Casualty Retainage; provided, however,
that Lender will release the portion of the Casualty Retainage
being held with respect to any contractor, subcontractor or
materialman engaged in the Restoration as of the date upon
which the Casualty Consultant certifies to Lender that the
contractor, subcontractor or materialman has satisfactorily
completed all work and has supplied all materials in
accordance with the provisions of the contractor's,
subcontractor's or materialman's contract, the contractor,
subcontractor or materialman delivers the lien waivers and
evidence of payment in full of all sums
89
due to the contractor, subcontractor or materialman as may be
reasonably requested by Lender or by the title company issuing
the Title Insurance Policy, and Lender receives an endorsement
to its Title Insurance Policy insuring the continued priority
of the lien of the related Mortgage and evidence of payment of
any premium payable for such endorsement. If required by
Lender, the release of any such portion of the Casualty
Retainage shall be approved by the surety company, if any,
which has issued a payment or performance bond with respect to
the contractor, subcontractor or materialman.
(v) Lender shall not be obligated to make
disbursements of the Net Proceeds more frequently than once
every calendar month or in the amount less than Ten Thousand
Dollars ($10,000) (or a lesser amount if the total remaining
Net Proceeds are less than Ten Thousand Dollars ($10,000), in
which case only one disbursement of the remaining Net Proceeds
shall be made).
(vi) If at any time the Net Proceeds or the
undisbursed balance thereof shall not, in the opinion of
Lender in consultation with the Casualty Consultant, be
sufficient to pay in full the balance of the costs which are
estimated by the Casualty Consultant to be incurred in
connection with the completion of the Restoration, Borrower
shall deposit the deficiency (the "NET PROCEEDS DEFICIENCY")
with Lender before any further disbursement of the Net
Proceeds shall be made. The Net Proceeds Deficiency deposited
with Lender shall be held by Lender and shall be disbursed for
costs actually incurred in connection with the Restoration on
the same conditions applicable to the disbursement of the Net
Proceeds, and until so disbursed pursuant to this Section
9.29(b) shall constitute additional security for the Loan and
other obligations under the Loan Documents.
(vii) The excess, if any, of the Net Proceeds and the
remaining balance, if any, of the Net Proceeds Deficiency
deposited with Lender after the Casualty Consultant certifies
to Lender that the Restoration has been completed in
accordance with the provisions of this Section 9329(b), and
the receipt by Lender of evidence satisfactory to Lender that
all costs incurred in connection with the Restoration have
been paid in full, shall be deposited by Lender in the Lockbox
Account to be applied in accordance with the priorities set
forth therein, provided no Event of Default shall have
occurred and shall be continuing under the Note, this
Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents.
(c) All Net Proceeds not required (i) to be made available for
the Restoration or (ii) to be returned to Borrower as excess Net
Proceeds pursuant to Section 9.29(b)(vii) will be retained and applied
by Lender toward the payment of the Loan and all other amounts owed by
Borrower to Lender under the Loan Documents whether or not then due and
payable in such order, priority and proportions as Lender in its sole
discretion shall deem proper, or, at the discretion of Lender, the same
may be paid, either in whole or in part, to Borrower for such purposes
as Lender shall approve, in its discretion.
(d) In the event of foreclosure of the Mortgage with respect
to the Individual Property, or other transfer of title to the
Individual Property in extinguishment in whole
90
or in part of the Loan all right, title and interest of Borrower in and
to the Policies that are not blanket Policies then in force concerning
the Individual Property and all proceeds payable thereunder shall
thereupon vest in the purchaser at such foreclosure or Lender or other
transferee in the event of such other transfer of title.
(e) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this
Section 9.29, Lender and Borrower agree that, at all times while the
Qualified Lease is in full force and effect with respect to an
Individual Property, if (i) neither the applicable tenant thereunder
nor Borrower shall elect to terminate the related Qualified Lease and
(ii) the applicable tenant shall elect to restore such Individual
Property after the occurrence of a Casualty or Condemnation affecting
such Individual Property pursuant to the terms and provisions of the
related Qualified Lease, then (A) any related Net Proceeds shall be
deposited with Lender (or any disbursing agent approved by Lender) and
shall be disbursed by Lender (or any disbursing agent approved by
Lender) to the applicable tenant for application to the Restoration of
the related Individual Property in accordance with the terms and
provisions of an escrow agreement among Borrower, the applicable tenant
and Lender (or any disbursing agent approved by Lender), which escrow
agreement (1) shall provide for the disbursement of the deposited Net
Proceeds as the Restoration of the related Individual Property is
completed in accordance with an Application and Certificate in the form
of AIA Document G702 to be properly completed and executed by the
applicable tenant's contractor (or by the applicable tenant if such
tenant acts as its own contractor) and architect and submitted to
Lender (or any disbursing agent approved by Lender) in connection with
each disbursement of any portion of the deposited Net Proceeds, (2)
shall provide for the disbursement of the portion of the deposited Net
Proceeds that is the subject of any such completed and executed
Application and Certificate within five (5) Business Days of receipt by
Lender (or any disbursing agent approved by Lender) thereof, (3) shall
provide for the release of the deposited Net Proceeds to Borrower if
the applicable tenant shall fail to complete the Restoration of the
related Individual Property in accordance with the related Qualified
Lease, (4) shall be in form and substance satisfactory to Lender and
(5) shall provide that such escrow agreement may not be modified or
amended without the prior written consent of Lender; (B) Borrower shall
immediately pay to Lender any related Net Proceeds released to Borrower
by Lender (or any disbursing agent approved by Lender) pursuant to the
escrow agreement described in clause (A) above, which Net Proceeds
shall be applied in accordance with the terms and provisions of Section
9.29(a)-(c); and (C) the terms and provisions of this Section 9.29
shall be deemed to be satisfied so long as the applicable tenant
diligently pursues and completes the Restoration of such Individual
Property in accordance with the terms and provisions of the related
Qualified Lease. If Borrower shall elect to restore any Individual
Property affected by a Casualty or Condemnation pursuant to the terms
and provisions of the related Qualified Lease, Borrower's rights and
obligations with respect to the related Restoration and Net Proceeds
shall be as otherwise set forth in this Section 9.29.
9.30 Tax and Insurance Escrow Fund.
(a) Tax and Insurance Escrow Fund. Borrower shall pay to
Lender on each date a payment of interest on the Loan is due (i)
one-twelfth of the Taxes that Lender
91
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 their respective due dates, and (ii)
one-twelfth of the Insurance Premiums that Lender 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 this Agreement and
under the Mortgages. 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. If the amount of the Tax and
Insurance Escrow Fund shall exceed the actual amounts due for Taxes and
Insurance Premiums, 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. Any amount remaining in the
Tax and Insurance Escrow Fund after the Loan and all of Borrower's
other obligations to Lender have been paid in full shall be returned to
Borrower. In allocating such excess, Lender may deal with the Person
shown on the records of Lender to be the owner of the Individual
Properties. If at any time Lender reasonably determines that the Tax
and Insurance Escrow Fund is not or will not be sufficient to pay Taxes
and Insurance Premiums by the dates set forth in (i) and (ii) 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 thirty (30) days prior to
expiration of the Policies, as the case may be.
(b) Exemption from Tax and Insurance Escrow Requirements.
Notwithstanding the terms and provisions of Section 9.30(a), Borrower
shall not be required to contribute to the Tax and Insurance Escrow
Fund, provided that (a) no Event of Default shall have occurred and (b)
Borrower delivers, or causes the tenant under a Qualified Lease, to the
extent applicable, to deliver, to Lender (i) receipts for payment or
other evidence satisfactory to Lender that the Taxes and Other Charges
with respect to each Individual Property have been paid no later than
ten (10) days prior to the date the same shall become delinquent
(unless Borrower or the tenant under a Qualified Lease, to the extent
applicable, is contesting such Taxes or Other Charges in accordance
with the terms and provisions of this Agreement and the other Loan
Documents) and (ii) written evidence satisfactory to Lender that all
Policies required pursuant to Section 9.05 and by the Mortgage are in
full force and effect and that all related Insurance Premiums have been
paid no later than ten (10) days prior to the expiration dates of such
Policies. Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default or notice from
Lender that the terms and provisions of clause (b)(i) or clause (b)(ii)
above have not been satisfied, Borrower shall begin to make monthly
payments to the Tax and Insurance Escrow Fund in accordance with the
92
terms and provisions of Section 9.30(a) commencing on the next date
interest is due to be paid to Lender.
9.31 Replacements and Replacement Reserve.
(a) Replacement Reserve Fund. Borrower shall pay to Lender on
each date a payment of interest on the Loan is due one-twelfth (1/12)
of the amount (the "REPLACEMENT RESERVE MONTHLY DEPOSIT") reasonably
estimated by Lender in its sole discretion to be due for replacements
and repairs required to be made to the Individual Properties during the
calendar year in order to maintain the Individual Properties in a first
class condition (collectively, the "REPLACEMENTS"). Amounts so
deposited shall hereinafter be referred to as Borrower's "REPLACEMENT
RESERVE FUND" and the account in which such amounts are held shall
hereinafter be referred to as Borrower's "REPLACEMENT RESERVE ACCOUNT."
Lender may reassess its estimate of the amount necessary for the
Replacement Reserve Fund from time to time, and may increase the
monthly amounts required to be deposited into the Replacement Reserve
Fund upon thirty (30) days notice to Borrower if Lender determines in
its reasonable discretion that an increase is necessary to maintain the
proper maintenance and operation of the Individual Properties. Any
amount held in the Replacement Reserve Account and allocated for an
Individual Property shall be retained by Lender and credited toward the
future Replacement Reserves Monthly Deposits required by Lender
hereunder in the event such Individual Property is released from the
Lien of its related Mortgage in accordance with the Loan Documents.
(b) Disbursements from Replacement Reserve Account.
(i) Lender shall make disbursements from the
Replacement Reserve Account to pay Borrower only for the costs
of the Replacements. Lender shall not be obligated to make
disbursements from the Replacement Reserve Account to
reimburse Borrower for the costs of routine maintenance to an
Individual Property or for costs which are to be reimbursed
from the Required Repair Fund.
(ii) Lender shall, upon written request from Borrower
and satisfaction of the requirements set forth in this Section
9.31(b), disburse to Borrower amounts from the Replacement
Reserve Account necessary to pay for the actual approved costs
of Replacements or to reimburse Borrower therefor, upon
completion of such Replacements (or, upon partial completion
in the case of Replacements made pursuant to Section
9.31(b)(v) as determined by Lender. In no event shall Lender
be obligated to disburse funds from the Replacement Reserve
Account if a Default or an Event of Default exists.
(iii) Each request for disbursement from the
Replacement Reserve Account shall be in a form specified or
approved by Lender and shall specify (i) the specific
Replacements for which the disbursement is requested, (ii) the
quantity and price of each item purchased, if the Replacement
includes the purchase or replacement of specific items, (iii)
the price of all materials (grouped by type or category) used
in any Replacement other than the purchase or
93
replacement of specific items, and (iv) the cost of all
contracted labor or other services applicable to each
Replacement for which such request for disbursement is made.
With each request Borrower shall certify that all Replacements
have been made in accordance with all applicable Legal
Requirements of any Governmental Authority having jurisdiction
over the applicable Individual Property to which the
Replacements are being provided. Each request for disbursement
shall include copies of invoices for all items or materials
purchased and all contracted labor or services provided and,
unless Lender has agreed to issue joint checks as described
below in connection with a particular Replacement, each
request shall include evidence satisfactory to Lender of
payment of all such amounts. Except as provided in Section
9.31(b)(v), each request for disbursement from the Replacement
Reserve Account shall be made only after completion of the
Replacement for which disbursement is requested. Borrower
shall provide Lender evidence of completion satisfactory to
Lender in its reasonable judgment.
(iv) Borrower shall pay all invoices in connection
with the Replacements with respect to which a disbursement is
requested prior to submitting such request for disbursement
from the Replacement Reserve Account or, at the request of
Borrower, Lender will issue joint checks, payable to Borrower
and the contractor, supplier, materialman, mechanic,
subcontractor or other party to whom payment is due in
connection with a Replacement. In the case of payments made by
joint check, Lender may require a waiver of lien from each
Person receiving payment prior to Lender's disbursement from
the Replacement Reserve Account. In addition, as a condition
to any disbursement, Lender may require Borrower to obtain
lien waivers from each contractor, supplier, materialman,
mechanic or subcontractor who receives payment in an amount
equal to or greater than Twenty-Five Thousand and NO/100
Dollars ($25,000) for completion of its work or delivery of
its materials. Any lien waiver delivered hereunder shall
conform to the requirements of applicable law and shall cover
all work performed and materials supplied (including equipment
and fixtures) for the applicable Individual Property by that
contractor, supplier, subcontractor, mechanic or materialman
through the date covered by the current reimbursement request
(or, in the event that payment to such contractor, supplier,
subcontractor, mechanic or materialmen is to be made by a
joint check, the release of lien shall be effective through
the date covered by the previous release of funds request).
(v) If (i) the cost of a Replacement exceeds
Twenty-Five Thousand and NO/100 Dollars ($25,000), (ii) the
contractor performing such Replacement requires periodic
payments pursuant to terms of a written contract, and (iii)
Lender has approved in writing in advance such periodic
payments, a request for reimbursement from the Replacement
Reserve Account may be made after completion of a portion of
the work under such contract, provided (A) such contract
requires payment upon completion of such portion of the work,
(B) the materials for which the request is made are on site at
the applicable Individual Property and are properly secured or
have been installed in such Individual Property, (C) all other
conditions in this Agreement for disbursement have been
94
satisfied, (D) funds remaining in the Replacement Reserve
Account are, in Lender's judgment, sufficient to complete such
Replacement and other Replacements when required, and (E) if
required by Lender, each contractor or subcontractor receiving
payments under such contract shall provide a waiver of lien
with respect to amounts which have been paid to that
contractor or subcontractor.
(vi) Borrower shall not make a request for
disbursement from the Replacement Reserve Account more
frequently than once in any calendar month and (except in
connection with the final disbursement) the total cost of all
Replacements in any request shall not be less than Twenty-Five
Thousand and NO/100 Dollars ($25,000.00).
(c) Performance of Replacements. Each of the following are and
shall be subject to the terms of the Qualified Lease applicable
thereto, if any:
(i) Borrower shall make, or cause the tenant under a
Qualified Lease, to the extent applicable, to make,
Replacements when required in order to keep each Individual
Property in condition and repair consistent with comparable
properties, including for Megaplex Properties, other movie
theater properties in the same market segment in metropolitan
areas comparable to the one in which the respective Megaplex
Property is located, and to keep each Individual Property or
any portion thereof from deteriorating. Borrower shall
complete all Replacements in a good and workmanlike manner as
soon as practicable following the commencement of making each
such Replacement.
(ii) Lender reserves the right, at its option, to
approve all contracts or work orders with materialmen,
mechanics, suppliers, subcontractors, contractors or other
parties providing labor or materials in connection with the
Replacements. Upon Lender's request, Borrower shall assign any
contract or subcontract to Lender.
(iii) In the event Lender determines in its
reasonable discretion that any Replacement is not being
performed in a workmanlike or timely manner or that any
Replacement has not been completed in a workmanlike or timely
manner, Lender shall have the option to withhold disbursement
for such unsatisfactory Replacement and to proceed under
existing contracts or to contract with third parties to
complete such Replacement and to apply the Replacement Reserve
Fund toward the labor and materials necessary to complete such
Replacement, without providing any prior notice to Borrower
and to exercise any and all other remedies available to Lender
upon an Event of Default hereunder.
(iv) In order to facilitate Lender's completion or
making of the Replacements pursuant to Section 9.31(c)(iii)
above, Borrower grants Lender the right to enter onto any
Individual Property and perform any and all work and labor
necessary to complete or make the Replacements and/or employ
watchmen to protect such Individual Property from damage. All
sums so expended by
95
Lender, to the extent not from the Replacement Reserve Fund,
shall be deemed to have been advanced under the Loan to
Borrower and secured by the Mortgages and all other security
for the Loan. For this purpose Borrower constitutes and
appoints Lender its true and lawful attorney-in-fact with full
power of substitution to complete or undertake the
Replacements in the name of Borrower. Such power of attorney
shall be deemed to be a power coupled with an interest and
cannot be revoked. Borrower empowers said attorney-in-fact as
follows: (i) to use any funds in the Replacement Reserve
Account for the purpose of making or completing the
Replacements; (ii) to make such additions, changes and
corrections to the Replacements as shall be necessary or
desirable to complete the Replacements; (iii) to employ such
contractors, subcontractors, agents, architects and inspectors
as shall be required for such purposes; (iv) to pay, settle or
compromise all existing bills and claims which are or may
become Liens against any Individual Property, or as may be
necessary or desirable for the completion of the Replacements,
or for clearance of title; (v) to execute all applications and
certificates in the name of Borrower which may be required by
any of the contract documents; (vi) to prosecute and defend
all actions or proceedings in connection with any Individual
Property or the rehabilitation and repair of any Individual
Property; and (vii) to do any and every act which Borrower
might do in its own behalf to fulfill the terms of this
Agreement.
(v) Nothing in this Section 9.31 shall: (i) make
Lender responsible for making or completing the Replacements;
(ii) require Lender to expend funds in addition to the
Replacement Reserve Fund to make or complete any Replacement;
(iii) obligate Lender to proceed with the Replacements; or
(iv) obligate Lender to demand from Borrower additional sums
to make or complete any Replacement.
(vi) Borrower shall permit Lender and Lender's agents
and representatives (including Lender's engineer, architect,
or inspector) or third parties making Replacements pursuant to
this Section 9.31 to enter onto each Individual Property
during normal business hours (subject to the rights of tenants
under their Qualified Leases) to inspect the progress of any
Replacements and all materials being used in connection
therewith, to examine all plans and shop drawings relating to
such Replacements which are or may be kept at each Individual
Property, and to complete any Replacements made pursuant to
this Section 9.31. Borrower shall cause all contractors and
subcontractors to cooperate with Lender or Lender's
representatives or such other persons described above in
connection with inspections described in this Section
9.31(cxvi) or the completion of Replacements pursuant to this
Section 9.31.
(vii) Lender may require an inspection of the
Individual Property at Borrower's expense prior to making a
disbursement from the Replacement Reserve Account in order to
verify completion of the Replacements for which reimbursement
is sought. Lender may require that such inspection be
conducted by an appropriate independent qualified professional
selected by Lender and/or may require a copy of a certificate
of completion by an independent qualified professional
acceptable to Lender prior to the disbursement of any amounts
from
96
the Replacement Reserve Account. Borrower shall pay the
expense of the inspection as required hereunder, whether such
inspection is conducted by Lender or by an independent
qualified professional.
(viii) The Replacements and all materials, equipment,
fixtures, or any other item comprising a part of any
Replacement shall be constructed, installed or completed, as
applicable, free and clear of all mechanics', materialmen's or
other liens (except for those Liens existing on the Original
Effective Date which have been approved in writing by Lender).
(ix) Before each disbursement from the Replacement
Reserve Account, Lender may require Borrower to provide Lender
with a search of title to the applicable Individual Property
effective to the date of the disbursement, which search shows
that no mechanics' or materialmen's liens or other liens of
any nature have been placed against the applicable Individual
Property since the date of recordation of the related Mortgage
and that title to such Individual Property is free and clear
of all Liens (other than the lien of the related Mortgage and
any other Liens previously approved in writing by Lender, if
any).
(x) All Replacements shall comply with all applicable
Legal Requirements of all Governmental Authorities having
jurisdiction over the applicable Individual Property and
applicable insurance requirements including, without
limitation, applicable building codes, special use permits,
environmental regulations, and requirements of insurance
underwriters.
(xi) In addition to any insurance required under the
Loan Documents, Borrower shall provide or cause to be provided
workmen's compensation insurance, builder's risk, and public
liability insurance and other insurance to the extent required
under applicable law in connection with a particular
Replacement. All such policies shall be in form and amount
reasonably satisfactory to Lender. All such policies which can
be endorsed with standard mortgagee clauses making loss
payable to Lender or its assigns shall be so endorsed.
Certified copies of such policies shall be delivered to
Lender.
(d) Failure to Make Replacements.
(i) It shall be an Event of Default under this
Agreement if Borrower fails to comply with any provision of
this Section 9.31 and such failure is not cured within thirty
(30) days after notice from Lender. Upon the occurrence of
such an Event of Default, Lender may use the Replacement
Reserve Fund (or any portion thereof) for any purpose,
including but not limited to completion of the Replacements as
provided in Section 9.31, or for any other repair or
replacement to any Individual Property or toward payment of
the Loan or other obligations of Borrower to Lender in such
order, proportion and priority as Lender may determine in its
sole discretion. Lender's right to withdraw and apply the
Replacement Reserve Funds shall be in addition to all other
rights and remedies provided to Lender under this Agreement
and the other Loan Documents.
97
(ii) Nothing in this Agreement shall obligate Lender
to apply all or any portion of the Replacement Reserve Fund on
account of an Event of Default to payment of the Loan or other
amounts owed by Borrower to Lender pursuant to the Loan
Documents or in any specific order or priority.
(e) Balance in a Replacement Reserve Account. The
insufficiency of any balance in the Replacement Reserve Account shall
not relieve Borrower from its obligation to fulfill all preservation
and maintenance covenants in the Loan Documents.
(f) Indemnification. Borrower shall indemnify Lender and hold
Lender harmless from and against any and all actions, suits, claims,
demands, liabilities, losses, damages, obligations and costs and
expenses (including litigation costs and reasonable attorneys fees and
expenses) arising from or in any way connected with the performance of
the Replacements. Borrower shall assign to Lender all rights and claims
Borrower may have against all persons or entities supplying labor or
materials in connection with the Replacements; provided, however, that
Lender may not pursue any such right or claim unless an Event of
Default has occurred and remains uncured.
(g) Exemption from Replacement Reserve Fund Requirements.
Notwithstanding the terms and provisions of Section 9.31(a) and Section
9.31(b), Borrower shall not be required to make the Replacement Reserve
Monthly Deposit, provided that (a) no Event of Default shall have
occurred and (b) Borrower makes, or causes the applicable tenant under
a Qualified Lease to make, the Replacements in accordance with the
terms and provisions of this Section 9.31. Upon (i) the occurrence of
an Event of Default or (ii) Borrower's failure to make, or cause to be
made, all Replacements in accordance with the terms and provisions of
this Section 9.31 within ten (10) days after notice of such failure
from Lender, Borrower shall begin to make the Replacement Reserve
Monthly Deposit in accordance with the terms and provisions of Section
9.31(a) commencing on the next date interest is due to be paid to
Lender.
9.32 Ground Lease Reserve Fund.
(a) Deposits to Ground Lease Fund. On each date a payment of
interest is due after the date hereof and so long as an Obligor is a
tenant under a Ground Lease, Borrower shall pay to Lender one-twelfth
of the rents (including both base and additional rents) and other
charges that Lender estimates will be payable by the applicable Obligor
as tenant under the Ground Leases (collectively, "GROUND RENTS") during
the next ensuing twelve (12) months in order to accumulate with Lender
sufficient funds to pay all such rents and other charges at least
thirty (30) days prior to their respective due dates. Amounts so
deposited shall hereinafter be referred to as the "GROUND LEASE RESERVE
FUND" and the account in which such amounts are held shall hereinafter
be referred to as the "Ground Lease Reserve Account."
(b) Release of Ground Lease Funds. Lender shall have the right
to apply the Ground Lease Funds to payment of rents and other charges
due under any Ground Lease. In making any payment relating to rents and
other charges under any Ground Lease, Lender may do so according to any
xxxx, statement or estimate procured from the lessor
98
under such Ground Lease, without inquiry into the accuracy of such
xxxx, statement or estimate. If the amount of Ground Lease Reserve
Funds shall exceed the amounts due for rents and other charges under
the Ground Leases for the immediately succeeding twelve (12) months as
determined by Lender, Lender shall, in its sole discretion, return any
excess to Borrower or credit such excess against future payments to be
made to the Ground Lease Funds. Any Ground Lease Funds remaining after
the Loan and all other obligations of Borrower to Lender under the Loan
Documents have been paid in full shall be returned to Borrower.
(c) Exemption from Ground Lease Reserve Fund Requirements.
Notwithstanding the terms and provisions of Section 9.32(a) and Section
9.32(b), Borrower shall not be required to contribute to the Ground
Lease Reserve Fund provided that (a) no Event of Default shall have
occurred, (b) the ground lessors under the Ground Leases shall remain
obligated to notify Lender of any default by Borrower, as tenant, under
the Ground Leases and permit Lender a reasonable opportunity to cure
such default and (c) no payment or other default by Borrower, as
tenant, shall have occurred under any Ground Lease. Upon the occurrence
of an Event of Default or notice from Lender that the conditions set
forth in clauses (b) or (c) above have not been satisfied, Borrower
shall begin to make payments to the Ground Lease Reserve Fund in
accordance with the terms and provisions of Section 9.32(a) commencing
on the next date interest is due to be paid to Lender.
9.33 Intentionally Deleted.
9.34 Independent Directors. Within thirty days of Lender's
written request (which may be given at any time and in Lender's sole
discretion), Borrower shall cause Megaplex Owner, Archon SPE holdings,
or both, to have at least two Independent Directors and cause the
articles of incorporation for such Persons to be amended to require
such two Independent Directors, and thereafter will not cause or allow
the board of directors of such entity to take any action requiring the
unanimous affirmative vote of one hundred percent (100%) of the members
of its board of directors unless two Independent Directors shall have
participated in such vote.
9.35 Substitution Rights. From time to time Borrower may
request the right to sell an existing Megaplex Property and have it be
released from the Mortgage Lien and, simultaneously with such sale,
acquire a new Real Estate Property which is a reasonably comparable
theater property which would become a Megaplex Property under the Loan
Documents and be subject to the Lien of a Mortgage securing the Loan
and other obligations of Obligors to Lender. If Lender consents to such
request (which consent can be granted, withheld or conditioned in
Lender's sole discretion), Borrower shall comply (i) with all of the
provisions of Section 7.03(c) (other than the requirement of using Loan
proceeds) for the acquisition of additional Real Estate Properties plus
appropriate title insurance and other deliveries so that Lender's
position and information about such new property is comparable with
Lender's position and information relating to the Initial Megaplex
Properties, and (ii) with such other conditions as Lender may impose in
its sole and absolute condition. If Lender does not consent to such
request, Lender shall have no obligation to release its Mortgage Lien
on such existing Megaplex Property or otherwise consent to any sale or
disposition of such Megaplex Property.
99
9.36 Reserve Funds, Generally.
(a) Borrower grants to Lender a first priority perfected
security interest in each Tax and Insurance Escrow Fund, Replacement
Reserve Fund, Ground Lease Reserve Fund, the Required Repairs Fund, and
any other escrow or reserve fund established by the Loan Documents
(each such fund is herein called a "RESERVE Fund" and collectively, the
"RESERVE FUNDS") and any and all monies now or hereafter deposited in
each Reserve Fund as additional security for payment of the Loan and
other obligations of Borrower to Lender. Until expended or applied in
accordance herewith, the Reserve Funds shall constitute additional
security for the Loan and other obligations of Borrower to Lender.
(b) Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, Lender may, in
addition to any and all other rights and remedies available to Lender,
apply any sums then present in any or all of the Reserve Funds to the
payment of the Loan and other obligations of Borrower to Lender in any
order in its sole discretion.
(c) The Reserve Funds shall not constitute trust funds and may
be commingled with other monies held by Lender.
(d) Borrower shall not, without obtaining the prior written
consent of Lender, further pledge, assign or grant any security
interest in any Reserve Fund or the monies deposited therein 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.
9.37 Archon Securitization Loan Documents. Borrower shall
cause Archon SPE Holdings and Securitization Property Owner at all times to
comply with and not permit an event of default to occur under the Archon
Securitization Loan Documents. Borrower shall not permit Archon SPE Holdings or
Securitization Property Owner to amend or modify the Archon Securitization Loan
Documents without Lender's prior written consent. Additionally, Borrower shall
use its best efforts to cause, on or before November 19, 2001, Archon SPE
Holdings and Securitization Property Owner to amend the Archon Securitized Loan
Documents to permit, without further action or consent (other than notice to any
party), Lender or its designee, to foreclose or otherwise take title to and
assume all ownership rights with respect to the stock which is pledged to Lender
pursuant to the Pledge Agreement and to enter into an intercreditor agreement
with Lender, all in forms reasonably acceptable to Lender (the foregoing
requirements to obtain such amendment and intercreditor agreement, to the extent
not waived by Lender as provided in the last sentence of this Section 9.37, are
collectively referred to herein as the "ARCHON REQUIRED AMENDMENTS"). Lender
agrees to negotiate in good faith and on a commercially reasonable basis in
obtaining Archon Required Amendments. Lender reserves the right, but is under no
obligation, to waive (as Lender determines in its sole and absolute discretion)
all or any portion of the requirements that Borrower obtain the Archon Required
Amendments.

and Lender may apply such funds either to completion of the Required
Repairs at one or more of the Individual Owned Properties or toward
payment of the Loan and other obligations owed by Borrower to Lender 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. On the
Original Effective Date, Borrower deposited with Lender the amount for
each Individual Owned Property set forth on such Schedule 9.40 hereto
to perform the Required Repairs for such Individual Owned Property.
Amounts so deposited shall hereinafter be referred to as Borrower's
"REQUIRED REPAIR FUND" and the accounts are held shall hereinafter be

other evidence of payment satisfactory to Lender, (d) at Lender's
option, a title search for such Individual Owned Property indicating
that such Individual Owned Property is free from all liens, claims and

false or misleading as of the time made or furnished in any material
respect (except to the extent derived from Tenant Information which

other document evidencing or relating to any other Indebtedness
aggregating $2,500,000 or more of Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries
shall occur if the effect of such event is to cause, or (with the
giving of any notice or the lapse of time or both) to permit the holder
or holders of such Indebtedness (or a trustee or agent on behalf of
such holder or holders) to cause, such Indebtedness to become due, or
to require that it be prepaid in full (whether by redemption, purchase,
offer to purchase or otherwise), prior to its stated maturity or to
have the interest rate thereon reset to a level so that securities
evidencing such Indebtedness trade at a higher level; or any event
specified in any Hedging Agreement shall occur if the effect of such
event is to cause, or (with the giving of any notice or the lapse of
time or both) to permit, termination or liquidation payment or payments
aggregating $2,500,000 or more to become due; or
(h) a proceeding or case shall be commenced, without the
application or consent of Borrower or its affected Subsidiary, in any

assignment for the benefit of its creditors, (iii) commence a voluntary
case under the Bankruptcy Code, (iv) file a petition seeking to take
advantage of any other law relating to bankruptcy, insolvency,
reorganization, liquidation, dissolution, arrangement or winding-up, or
composition or readjustment of debts, (v) fail to controvert in a
timely and appropriate manner, or acquiesce in writing to, any petition
filed against it in an involuntary case under the Bankruptcy Code or
(vi) take any corporate action for the purpose of effecting any of the
foregoing (other than for the planned dissolution of Excel Westminster
AMC, Inc.); or
(j) Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries shall admit in writing
its inability to, or be generally unable to, pay its debts as such
debts become due; or
(k) a final judgment or judgments for the payment of money of
$2,500,000 or more in the aggregate (exclusive of judgment amounts
covered by insurance where the insurer has admitted or failed to deny
liability in respect of such judgment) shall be rendered by one or more
courts, administrative tribunals or other bodies having jurisdiction
against Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries and the same shall not be
103
discharged (or provision shall not be made for such discharge), or a
stay of execution thereof shall not be procured, within 30 days from
the date of entry thereof or Borrower or the relevant Subsidiary shall
not, within such period of 30 days, or such longer period during which
execution of the same shall have been stayed, appeal therefrom and
cause the execution thereof to be stayed during such appeal; or
(l) an event or condition shall occur or exist with respect to
any Plan or Multiemployer Plan and, as a result of such event or
condition, together with all other such events or conditions, Borrower
or any ERISA Affiliate shall incur or in the opinion of the Lender
shall be reasonably likely to incur a liability to a Plan, a
Multiemployer Plan or the PBGC (or any combination of the foregoing)
that, in the determination of the Lender, would (either individually or
in the aggregate) have a Material Adverse Effect; or
(m) there shall have been asserted against Borrower or any of
its Subsidiaries an Environmental Claim that, in the judgment of the
Lender, is reasonably likely to be determined adversely to Borrower or
any of its Subsidiaries, and the amount thereof (either individually or
in the aggregate) is reasonably likely to have a Material Adverse
Effect (insofar as such amount is payable by Borrower or any of its
Subsidiaries but after deducting any portion thereof that is reasonably
expected to be covered by insurance or paid by other creditworthy
Persons jointly and severally liable therefor); or
(n) a Change in Control of any Obligor shall occur; or
(o) If Borrower has not borrowed all of Tranche B by November
19, 2001 (or such longer period as Lender may elect in its sole
discretion); provided, however, that it shall not be an Event of
Default under this subsection (p) if the sole reason for Borrower's
failure to borrow all of Tranche B within such time frame is Borrower's
failure to obtain the Archon Required Amendments after otherwise
complying with the terms of Section 9.37; or
(p) any "Event of Default" under any other provision of this
Agreement or any other Loan Document.
THEREUPON: (1) in the case of an Event of Default other than one
referred to in clause (h) or (i) of this Section 10 with respect to any Obligor,
Lender may, by notice to Borrower, terminate the obligation of Lender to advance
Loan Proceeds and/or declare the principal amount then outstanding of, and the
accrued interest on, the Loan and all other amounts payable by the Obligors
hereunder and under the Note (including any amounts payable under Section 5.03)
to be forthwith due and payable, whereupon such amounts shall be immediately due
and payable without presentment, demand, protest or other formalities of any
kind, all of which are hereby expressly waived by each Obligor; and (2) in the
case of the occurrence of an Event of Default referred to in clause (h) or (i)
of this Section 10 with respect to any Obligor, the obligation of Lender to
advance Loan Proceeds shall automatically be terminated and the principal amount
then outstanding of, and the accrued interest on, the Loan, and all other
amounts payable by the Obligors hereunder and under the Note (including any
amounts payable under Section 5.03) shall automatically become immediately due
and payable without presentment, demand, protest or other formalities of any
kind, all of which are hereby expressly waived by each Obligor.
104
Section 11. Current Balances. Attached as Exhibit J is a list of the
full amount of the Loan advanced, interest owed, and amounts held in Reserves as

Lender each acknowledge and agree that such amounts are true, correct, and
complete as of such date.
Section 12. Miscellaneous.
12.01 Notices. All notices, requests and other communications
provided for herein (including any modifications of, or waivers or consents
under, this Agreement) shall be given or made in writing (including by
telecopy), delivered to the intended recipient at the "Address for Notices"

Borrower, in the case of any Subsidiary Guarantor); or, as to any party, at such
other address as shall be designated by such party in a notice to each other

case given or addressed as aforesaid.
12.02 Waiver. No failure on the part of the Lender to exercise
and no delay in exercising, and no course of dealing with respect to, any right,
power or privilege under this Agreement or Note shall operate as a waiver
thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right, power or
privilege under this Agreement or Note preclude any other or further exercise
thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege. The remedies
provided herein are cumulative and not exclusive of any remedies provided by
law.
12.03 Amendments, Etc. Except as otherwise expressly provided
in this Agreement, any provision of this Agreement may be modified or
supplemented only by an instrument in writing signed by Borrower and Lender and
any provision of this Agreement may be waived by Lender.
12.04 Expenses, Etc. Borrower agrees to pay or reimburse
Lender, upon demand from Lender, for: (a) all reasonable out-of-pocket costs and
expenses of Lender (including, without limitation, the reasonable fees and
expenses of Xxxxxx Xxxxxx Xxxxx, special counsel to Lender and the reasonable
fees and expenses of Lender's special state counsel) in connection with (i) the
negotiation, preparation, execution and delivery of this Agreement and the other
Loan Documents and the extension of credit hereunder and (ii) the negotiation or
preparation of any modification, supplement or waiver of any of the terms of
this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents (whether or not consummated);
(b) all reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses of Lender (including the
reasonable fees and expenses of legal counsel) in connection with (i) any

including, without limitation, all manner of participation in or other
involvement with (x) bankruptcy, insolvency, receivership, foreclosure, winding

documentary or other similar taxes, assessments or charges levied by any
Governmental Authority in respect of this Agreement or any of the other Loan

105
Borrower hereby agrees to defend, indemnify and hold each of the
Indemnified Parties harmless from and against, any and all losses, liabilities,
claims, damages or expenses incurred by any of them, whether or not Lender is a
party thereto) arising out of or by reason of any investigation or litigation or
other proceedings (including any threatened investigation or litigation or other
proceedings) relating to the extensions of credit hereunder or any actual or
proposed use by Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries of the proceeds of any of
the extensions of credit hereunder, including, without limitation, the
reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel incurred in connection with any
such investigation or litigation or other proceedings (but excluding any such
losses, liabilities, claims, damages or expenses incurred by reason of the gross
negligence or willful misconduct of the Person to be indemnified or such
Indemnified Party's material breach of this Agreement, or claims against such
Indemnified Party arising from its own acts or omissions to the extent wholly
unrelated to this Agreement). Without limiting the generality of the foregoing,
Borrower will defend, indemnify and hold each of the Indemnified Parties
harmless against, any losses, liabilities, claims, damages or expenses described
in the preceding sentence (but excluding, as provided in the preceding sentence,
any loss, liability, claim, damage or expense incurred by reason of the gross
negligence or willful misconduct of the Person to be indemnified or such
Indemnified Party's material breach of this Agreement, or claims against such
Indemnified Party arising from its own acts or omissions to the extent wholly
unrelated to this Agreement) arising under any Environmental Law as a result of
the past, present or future operations of Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries,
or the past, present or future condition of any site or facility owned, operated
or leased at any time by Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries, or any Release or
threatened Release of any Hazardous Materials at or from any such site or
facility, excluding any such Release or threatened Release that shall occur
during any period when Lender shall be in possession of any such site or
facility following the exercise by the Lender of any of its rights and remedies
hereunder, but including any such Release or threatened Release occurring during
such period that is a continuation of conditions previously in existence, or of
practices employed by Borrower and its Subsidiaries, at such site or facility.
12.05 Successors and Assigns. This Agreement shall be binding
upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective
successors and permitted assigns.
12.06 Assignments by Obligors. No Obligor may assign any of
its rights or obligations hereunder or under the Note without the prior consent
of the Lender.
12.07 Secondary Market Transaction in Loan and Note. Borrower
and each Subsidiary Guarantor agrees that Lender has the absolute right to
securitize, sell, assign, pledge, syndicate, grant participations in, or
otherwise dispose of, all or any portion of the Loan (each such transaction, a
"SECURITIZATION"). Lender may determine to resell some or all of the Loan or
retain title to some or all of the Loan as part of a Securitization. Provided
that the following are at no material additional expense to any Obligor (other
than expenses which an Obligor is otherwise obligated to pay pursuant the Loan
Documents), do not create any additional material obligations of any Obligor or
materially adversely affect any Obligor's rights under the Loan Documents:
(a) Borrower agrees that Borrower shall cooperate, and
Borrower shall cause each Subsidiary Guarantor to cooperate, in all
reasonable respects at the request of Lender in connection with any
such Securitization, including in connection with any
106
documentation changes and any site inspections, updated appraisals,
financial information (including financial statements and other
financial information as described in this Agreement) or other
diligence requested or conducted by any investors, and/or any Rating
Agency, whether before or after funding. In connection with any
Securitization, Lender may, among other things, in its sole discretion,
determine to (i) reconstitute the Loan such that it is recast into
multiple loans of such priorities and terms as Lender may determine (so
long as the economic terms of the Loan do not, in the aggregate,
materially change), and/or (ii) sever the Loan or any tranche thereof
into two or more self-contained, internally cross-collateralized
mortgage loan financings (any of all of the foregoing, a "LOAN
RECONSTITUTION"). Borrower agrees that Borrower will reasonably
cooperate, and cause each Subsidiary Guarantor to reasonably cooperate,
in all material respects at the request of the Lender in connection
with any such Loan Reconstitution.
(b) Without in any way limiting the generality of the
foregoing, each Obligor agrees that Lender may, among other things, in
its sole discretion, elect to effect a Loan Reconstitution pursuant to
which the Loan is recast into a senior loan tranche (the "SENIOR
TRANCHE") and a junior loan tranche (the "JUNIOR TRANCHE") as follows:
(i) the principal amount of each of the Senior Tranche and the Junior
Tranche will be determined by Lender in its sole discretion (provided
that the aggregate principal amount thereof shall not exceed the
aggregate principal amount of the Loan outstanding immediately prior to
such Loan Reconstitution); (ii) the interest rate applicable to each of
the Senior Tranche and the Junior Tranche shall be determined by Lender
in its sole discretion (provided that the blended interest rate from
time to time applicable to the Senior Tranche and the Junior Tranche
and the payments as a result thereof shall not exceed the interest rate
and the payments as a result thereof which, but for such Loan
Reconstitution, would have been applicable from time to time under the
Loan pursuant to this Agreement), (iii) the Senior Tranche will
continue to be evidenced and secured by the Loan Documents and the
Junior Tranche will be evidenced and secured by one (1) or more pledge
agreements of all of the stock, shares, partnership interests,
membership interests, beneficial interests or other ownership interests
in Obligors and by other loan documents which are substantially in the
forms of the Loan Documents, in each case with such documentation
changes as Lender may reasonably request (1) to evidence the principal
amount of and interest rate applicable to each of the Senior Tranche
and the Junior Tranche and the subordination of the Junior Tranche to
the Senior Tranche, (2) at Lender's election to cause the Senior
Tranche to cross-default the Junior Tranche and/or the Junior Tranche
to cross default the Senior Tranche, (3) at Lender's election, to cause
certain of the provisions of this Agreement (including, without
limitation, the definition of or affecting financial ratios and the
release price calculations) to be applicable to the Senior Tranche and
the Junior Tranche on an aggregate basis, (4) at Lender's election, the
pledgor(s) under the pledge agreement securing the Junior Tranche shall
be the obligor(s) with regard to the Junior Tranche, Borrower shall
cause the pledgors in question to execute the applicable documentation
required by Lender and the applicable Obligor will no longer be an
obligor with regard to the portion of the Loan represented by the
Junior Tranche; and (5) to reflect such other documentation changes
and/or changes to the structure of the Loan and the organizational
documents of each Obligor and the other pledgors, if any, as Lender may
reasonably request in connection with the Senior Tranche
107
and/or the Junior Tranche. At Lender's election, the Senior Tranche and
Junior Tranche may each be subject to one or more Securitizations.
(c) Except to the extent the Loan Documents otherwise require,
Obligors shall not be required to pay for material third party
out-of-pocket costs and expenses which are incurred in a Securitization
subsequent to the Closing Date.
(d) Without in any way limiting the generality of the
foregoing, each Obligor agrees that, in order to implement a
Securitization involving a public offering or private placement of
certificates ("CERTIFICATES"), (i) Lender may transfer, pledge or
assign to one or more of a depositor, indenture trust, owner trust or
other trust (collectively, a "DEPOSITOR") all right, title and interest
of Lender in, to and under the Loan and the Loan Documents, (ii) if
such Securitization is a public offering of Certificates, some or all
of Lenders in, or the Depositor, as the case may be, may exercise the
Replacement Option, and (iii) the Depositor may enter into a pooling
and servicing agreement or other agreement which provides for issuance
of the Certificates (the "POOLING AND SERVICING AGREEMENT"). Pursuant
to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the Depositor will assign,
pledge or grant to the certificate trustee (or to the indenture
trustee, as trustee, if such Securitization involves a public or
private offering of Certificates), among other things, all of the
Depositor's right, title and interest in, to and under each of the Loan
Documents (as such Loan Documents may have therefore been amended or
reconstituted, including in connection with the exercise of the
Replacement Option, if applicable) and may grant to the certificate
trustee (or to the indenture trustee, as trustee, if applicable in
connection with a Securitization involving a public or private offering
of Certificates) the full or any part of the exclusive and irrevocable
right, power and authority to exercise or to determine to refrain from
exercising, any rights, powers and privileges of the Lender under the
Loan Documents, including, without limitation, (x) the right to grant
or withhold any and all consents or approvals which may be requested or
given pursuant to this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents,
and the right to exercise any vote or abstain from voting on any matter
on which a vote may be required hereunder or thereunder, including any
determination to amend, modify, waiver or terminate any provision
hereof or thereof, (y) the right to give and receive any and all
notices, demands or other communication which are required to be, or
may be, given hereunder or thereunder, and (z) the right to exercise or
determine to refrain from exercising any and all rights and remedies
hereunder or thereunder. For all purposes of this Agreement and the
other Loan Documents, each Obligor may assume, and shall recognize,
that upon such assignment (other than for collateral purposes and, if
for collateral purposes, upon assignment in connection with the
exercise of remedies or in lieu of the exercise of remedies) to the
certificate trustee or the indenture trustee, as the case may be, the
certificate trustee or the indenture trustee, as the case may be, shall
be and become the Lender for all purposes hereunder and under the other
Loan Documents and shall have all rights of Lender hereunder and
thereunder, including, without limitation, the right to exercise or
refrain from exercising any and all of such rights, powers and
privileges. Each Obligor further agrees that the Depositor, Lender,
certificate trustee and/or the indenture trustee may delegate any or
all of Lender's rights, powers and privileges to a servicer
("SERVICER") and each Obligor shall recognize the Servicer as the agent
of the certificate trustee and/or the indenture trustee, as the case
may be.
108
(e) Each Obligor acknowledges and agrees that the Certificates
representing beneficial interests in the Loan may be offered to the
public in a transaction requiring registration under the Securities Act
of 1933, as amended. In such event, the holder of the Loan (who at such
time may be Lender, an administrative agent, as agent, for Lender or
the Depositor) shall have the absolute right at any time in connection
with effecting such Securitization, to exercise the Replacement Option,
provided that each Obligor is afforded not less than 10 Business Days'
prior written notice of the intention to exercise the Replacement
Option. "REPLACEMENT OPTION," when used herein or in any of the other
Loan Documents, shall mean the right and option of the then holder of
the Loan to require Borrower to (i) execute and deliver an indenture
(the "Indenture") with a trustee (which trustee shall be qualified to
act as such under the Trust Indenture Act of 1939 and shall otherwise
be selected by and satisfactory to the then holder of the Loan) which
Indenture shall amend and restate this Agreement (or otherwise replace
this Agreement) in its entirety insofar as it relates to the Loan, (ii)
cooperate with the then holder of the Loan and any other required
Persons in connection with the qualification of the Indenture under the
Trust Indenture Act of 1939, (iii) issue notes under and pursuant to
the Indenture (the "INDENTURE NOTES"), which Indenture Notes shall be
duly authenticated and delivered by the indenture trustee, in
replacement of the Note evidencing the Loan, (iv) take all actions as
are required to cause the Indenture Notes to be secured by the Loan
Documents, and to ensure that the priority of the Mortgage is not
impaired by virtue of such replacement of the Note with the Indenture
Notes, and (v) cooperate with the then holder of the Loan in connection
with the assignment of such holder's interest under the Loan Documents
in question to the indenture trustee, as trustee for the benefit of the
holder of the Indenture Notes.
(f) Each Obligor will, upon request from Lender, in connection
with a Securitization, enter into such acknowledgments and
confirmations of the applicable assignments as Lender may request.
12.08 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 an
Obligor under this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, each Obligor shall,
subject to the terms and provisions of this Section 12.08, 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 a Securitization, including using
reasonable efforts to do (or cause to be done) the following (but Obligors will
not in any event be required pursuant to any of the provisions of this Section
12.08 to incur, suffer or accept (except to a de minimis extent) (i) any lesser
rights or greater obligations as are currently set forth in the Loan Documents
or an Obligor's organizational documents (unless Borrower is made whole by the
holder of the Note), or (ii) except as expressly set forth in this Section
12.08, any expense:
(a) (i) provide such financial and other information as may be
reasonably requested, subject to the terms and provisions hereof, with
respect to the Individual Property, Borrower, Subsidiary Guarantors and
their Subsidiaries and affiliates, and, to the extent in the possession
of an Obligor and not subject to confidentiality restrictions, any
tenants of any Individual Property, (ii) provide business plans and
budgets relating to the Individual Property (and to the extent such
information is readily available to
109
Borrower, the same shall be provided without cost to Lender) and (iii)
to perform or permit or cause to be performed or permitted or allow
Lender to perform such site inspection, appraisals, market studies,
environmental reviews and reports (Phase I's and, if appropriate, Phase
II's), engineering reports and other due diligence investigations of
the Property, as may be reasonably requested by Lender or the Rating
Agencies or as may be necessary or appropriate in connection with the
Securitization (the "Provided Information"), together, if customary,
with appropriate verification and/or consents of the Provided
Information to the extent reasonably obtainable, through letters of
auditors, engineers or appraisers or opinions of counsel; and
(b) cause independent counsel to render opinions as to
fraudulent conveyance or any other opinion customary in securitization
transactions with respect to the Individual Property, and Borrower, and
its affiliates (but not a true sale or 10b-5 opinion), including,
without limitation, a nonconsolidation opinion and/or insolvency option
acceptable to Lender and all applicable rating agencies, which counsel
and opinions shall be reasonably satisfactory to Lender and the Rating
Agencies and which shall be addressed to such Persons as shall be
reasonably designated by the holder of the Note. Any Obligor's failure
to deliver the opinions required hereby within such ten (10) Business
Days after written request therefor shall constitute an "Event of
Default" hereunder.
12.09 Cooperation with Rating Agencies. In the event this Loan
becomes an asset in or of a Securitization, Borrower agrees upon Lender's
request to meet with representatives of the Rating Agencies in connection with
such a Securitization to discuss the business and operations of the Individual
Properties and, in that regard, agrees to cooperate with the reasonable requests
of the Rating Agencies including, without limitation delivering any existing
environmental materials relating to the Individual Properties in Borrower's
possession.
12.10 Securitization Indemnification.
(a) Each Obligor understands that certain of the Provided
Information and the information required to be delivered by Borrower
hereunder (the "REQUIRED REPORTS") 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 United States Securities and
Exchange Commission pursuant to applicable law, 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 Securities or other transfer of ownership with
respect to the Securitization, each Obligor 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 any Obligor, any
Subsidiary of an Obligor, and the Individual Properties necessary to
keep the Disclosure Document accurate and complete in all material
respects with respect to such matters.
110
(b) In connection with each of (x) a preliminary and a private
placement memorandum or (y) a preliminary and final prospectus, as
applicable, Borrower agrees to provide an indemnification certificate:
(i) provided Borrower has been requested by Lender to
do so, and if the applicable items have been revised to
reflect all of Borrower's comments, certifying that Borrower
has examined those portions of such memorandum or prospectus,
as applicable, expressly pertaining to any Obligor, any
Subsidiary of an Obligor, and the Individual 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," "Borrower" and "Certain Legal Aspects of the
Mortgage Loan," (or analogous portions or sections) and such
sections (and any other sections reasonably requested and
pertaining to any Obligor, any Subsidiary of an Obligor, and
the Individual Properties or the Loan), all of which sections
have been identified to Borrower by Lender do not contain any
untrue statement of a material fact or, to the best of
Borrower's knowledge, 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 materially
misleading as the applicable sections pertain to Borrower, the
Loan and the Properties;
(ii) indemnifying Lender and the Affiliates of Lender
that have filed a registration statement relating to the
Securitization (the "REGISTRATION STATEMENT"), each of their
directors, each of their officers who have signed the
Registration Statement and each Person who controls Lender or
Lender Parent within the meaning of any federal or state
securities laws (collectively, the "LENDER GROUP"), any
underwriters selected by Lender or Lender Parent for the
Securitization, and each Person who controls the underwriters
in question, within the meaning of any federal or state
securities laws (collectively, the "UNDERWRITER GROUP") for
any losses, claims, damages or liabilities (the "LIABILITIES")
to which Lender, the Lender Group or the Underwriter Group may
become subject insofar as the Liabilities arise out of or are
based upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of
any material fact contained in the applicable portions of such
sections described in Section 12.10(b)(i) expressly applicable
and relating to the Obligors, any Subsidiary of the Obligors,
the Individual 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,
provided, however, that Borrower shall not be required to
indemnify Lender for any Liabilities relating to untrue
statements or omissions which Borrower identifies to Lender in
writing at the time of Borrower's examination of the
Registration Statement; and
(iii) agreeing to reimburse the Lender, the Lender
Group and the Underwriter Group for any legal or other
expenses reasonably incurred by such Persons in connection
with investigating or defending the Liabilities. Borrower's
111
Liability under clauses (i), (ii) above and this clause (iii)
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 prepared and furnished
to Lender by any Obligor pursuant to provisions of Sections
12.08, 12.09, and 12.10 hereof. This indemnity agreement will
be in addition to any liability which Borrower may otherwise
have.
(c) Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party under this
Section 12.10 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 12.10, 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 12.10,
the indemnifying party shall not be liable 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 and the indemnified
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, following notice to
and consultation with Borrower, 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 at the expense of
the indemnifying party. The indemnifying party shall not be liable for
the expenses of more than one separate counsel unless an indemnified
party shall have reasonably concluded that there may be legal defenses
available to it that are different from or additional to those
available to another indemnified party.
(d) In order to provide for just and equitable contribution in
circumstances in which the indemnity provided for in this Section 12.10
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 this Section 12.10 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 Lender
Group's and Borrower's relative knowledge and access to information
concerning the
112
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.
(e) Rating Surveillance. Lender may retain the Rating Agencies
to provide rating surveillance services on any certificates issued in a
Securitization.
12.11 Retention of Servicer. Lender reserves the right to
retain a 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 Mortgage or otherwise, together with such other powers as
are reasonably incidental thereto. In no event shall any Obligor be required to
pay any servicer fees, securitization trustee fees or other securitization
administrative expenses except as may be expressly provided in this Agreement.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, Borrower shall pay any reasonable fees and

12.17 Treatment of Certain Information; Confidentiality.
(a) Borrower acknowledges that from time to time financial
advisory, investment banking and other services may be offered or
provided to Borrower or one or more of its Subsidiaries (in connection
with this Agreement or otherwise) by Lender or by one or more
subsidiaries or affiliates of Lender and Borrower hereby authorizes
Lender to share any information delivered to Lender by Borrower and its
Subsidiaries pursuant to this Agreement, or in connection with the
decision of such Lender to enter into this Agreement, to any such
subsidiary or affiliate, it being understood that any such subsidiary
or affiliate receiving such information shall be bound by the
provisions of paragraph (b) below as if it were a Lender hereunder.
Such authorization and binding effect shall survive the repayment of
the Loan.
114
(b) Lender agrees (on behalf of itself and each of its
affiliates, directors, officers, employees and representatives) to use
reasonable precautions to keep confidential, in accordance with its
customary procedures for handling confidential information of the same
nature and in accordance with safe and sound lending practices and
shall not use same for any purpose other than in connection with this
Agreement or as permitted below or elsewhere in this Section 12, any

counsel for the Lender, (iv) to bank examiners (or any other regulatory

or under any other Loan Document, (vii) to a subsidiary or affiliate of
such Lender as provided in paragraph (a) above, (viii) to any rating

transferee or participant (or prospective assignee, pledgee,
transferor, servicer, fiscal agent of transferee or participant) is
advised of the confidential nature of the items in question. The
obligations of Lender under this Section 12.17 shall supersede and
replace the obligations of such Lender under any confidentiality
agreement, if any. The foregoing covenants may be enforced by Borrower
by obtaining injunctive or specific relief from a court of competent
jurisdiction, without the necessity of posting bond or proving lack of
adequate remedy at law, such remedies to be cumulative and not
exclusive of any other remedies available to Borrower at law or in
equity.

herein to the contrary, if at any time the interest rate applicable to any Loan,
together with all fees, charges and other amounts which are treated as interest

maximum lawful rate (the "MAXIMUM RATE") which may be contracted for, charged,
taken, received or reserved by the Lender holding such Loan in accordance with
applicable law, the rate of interest payable in respect of such Loan hereunder,
together with all Charges payable in respect thereof, shall be limited to the
Maximum Rate and, to the extent lawful, the interest and Charges that would have
been payable in respect of such Loan but were not payable as a result of the
operation of this Section 12.18 shall be cumulated and the interest and Charges
payable to such Lender in respect of other Loans or periods shall be increased
(but not above the Maximum Rate therefor) until such cumulated amount, together
with interest thereon at the Federal Funds Rate to the date of repayment, shall
have been received by such Lender.
12.19 Construction of Documents. The parties hereto
acknowledge that they were represented by counsel in connection with the
negotiation and drafting of the loan Documents and that the Loan Documents shall
not be subject to the principle of construing their meaning against the party
which drafted same.
12.20 Waiver and Release. Borrower hereby represents and
warrants to, and covenants with, Lender that as of the Effective Date (a)
Borrower has no defenses, offsets or
115
counterclaims of any kind or nature whatsoever against Lender with respect to
this Agreement, the other Loan Documents, the transactions contemplated therein,
any action previously taken or not taken by Lender with respect thereto or with
respect to any security interest, encumbrance, lien or collateral in connection
therewith to secure the liabilities of Borrower thereunder, or any prior loans
or documents related thereto, and (b) Lender has fully performed all obligations
to Borrower which they may have had or have on and as of the date hereof and the
Effective Date. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Borrower, on
its own behalf and on the behalf of its past, present and future
representatives, partners, and managers, members, shareholders, officers,
directors, agents, employees, servants, direct and indirect subsidiaries, and
successors and assigns (hereinafter referred to as the "BORROWING GROUP") hereby
waives, releases and forever discharges Lender, and each of its past, present
and future officers, directors, subsidiary and affiliated entities or companies,
agents, servants, employees, shareholders, partners, members, managers,
representatives, successors, assigns, attorneys, accountants, assets and
properties, as the case may be (hereinafter referred to as the "LENDER GROUP")

debts, sums of money, accounts, reckonings, bonds, bills, specialties,
covenants, contracts, controversies, agreements, promises, obligations,
liabilities, costs, expenses, losses, damages, judgments, executions, claims and

severally, may have had, or now have or that may subsequently accrue (with the
exception of any failure of Lender to fund the remaining portion of Tranche C
after Borrower has satisfied all conditions to such funding) against the Lender
Group by reason of any matter or thing whatsoever through the date hereof
arising out of or in any way connected to the Loan. Borrower acknowledges and
agrees that Lender is specifically relying upon the representations, warranties,
covenants and agreements contained herein and that such representations,
