TADS shall mean the aggregate debt service payments for any given calendar year on the Loans and on all other indebtedness secured, or to be secured, by any part of the Security Pool. The term “EBITDA” shall mean, for any period and without duplication, net income (loss) of the Security Pool determined in accordance with GAAP adjusted in the following manner (but only to the extent included in determining net income (loss) for such period): plus (a) depreciation of real property assets and amortization expense, plus (b) interest expense, plus (c) all provisions for any federal, state or other income tax, minus (plus) (d) extraordinary gains (losses), minus (plus) (e) gains (losses) on sales of real estate, plus (f) ownership share of the EBITDA of unconsolidated affiliates.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 3 and/or Section 4 below, Borrowers and Gatlinburg Obligor shall only have the right to a combined cumulative total (during the entire term of the
11
Loans) of nine (9) Releases and Substitutions; provided, however, that Lender agrees to consider in good faith any request for its consent to a Release or Substitution that would cause the combined cumulative total of Releases and Substitutions during the term of the Loans to exceed nine (9) Releases and Substitutions, which consent may be given or withheld for any reason or given conditionally, in Lender’s sole discretion.
This Section 3 shall be personal to the original Borrowers and Gatlinburg Obligor, and no transferee shall have any rights under this Section 3.
4. | SUBSTITUTION OF INDIVIDUAL PROPERTIES |
4.1 Substitution of Collateral. Upon prior written notice to Lender, an Individual Borrower or Gatlinburg Obligor, as the case may be, shall be entitled to obtain a release of an Individual Property owned by such Individual Borrower or Gatlinburg Obligor (the “Exiting Property”) from the Lien of the Collateral Documents and the Cross Collateral Documents upon substituting therefor (a “Substitution”) another property (the “Substitute Property”) satisfactory to Lender (in its sole discretion) and upon satisfaction (as determined by Lender in its sole discretion) of each of the following terms and conditions:
(a) At the time of such request for a Substitution, and at the time of the proposed Substitution, there shall exist no Event of Default, and there shall exist no condition or state of facts, which with the passage of time or the giving of notice, or both, would constitute an Event of Default under the Loan Documents;
(b) No Event of Default shall have occurred under any of the Loan Documents at any time from the Closing Date to the date of the consummation of the proposed Substitution;
(c) A Substitution shall involve only one (1) Individual Property;
(d) The Substitution shall be in conjunction with the sale of one (1) Individual Property to the Golf Course Master Tenant, the Gatlinburg Master Tenant or another third party unrelated to any of Borrowers or Gatlinburg Obligor, and Lender shall not be obligated to consummate the Substitution in the event the proposed sale of the Individual Property shall not actually be consummated;
(e) Upon the written request for a Substitution by the applicable Individual Borrower or Gatlinburg Obligor, as the case may be, such party shall deliver to Lender a copy of the current draft of the sale agreement pertaining to the sale of the Exiting Property, and as soon as available after such written request for a Substitution, such Individual Borrower or Gatlinburg Obligor, as applicable, shall deliver to Lender a copy of the fully executed sale agreement (along with a marked copy of such fully executed sale agreement indicating all changes made after the draft of the sale agreement previously delivered to Lender), but in no event shall such delivery of such fully executed sale agreement and such marked sale agreement be later than two (2) business days after the execution of such sale agreement by such Individual Borrower or Gatlinburg Obligor, as applicable, and in all events such delivery shall be made at least thirty (30) days prior to the end of Lender’s period (as specified below) for processing such Substitution;
(f) Any written request by an Individual Borrower or Gatlinburg Obligor to Lender for a Substitution must be received no sooner than the later of (i) nine (9) months after the Closing or (ii) six (6) months after completion of the most recent Release or Substitution, and any such written request must be received no later than twelve (12) months prior to the maturity date of the Loans;
12
(g) The proposed Substitute Property shall constitute the fee simple estate to such property, and no joint venture or partnership interests shall be permitted;
(h) The ownership entity of the Substitute Property shall be identical to the entity that owned the Exiting Property;
(i) At the time of any Substitution, the Substitute Property shall not be less than one hundred percent (100%) occupied by third-party tenants in occupancy and paying rent, and free rent or other rental concessions shall have been extinguished except as may otherwise be approved in writing by Lender;
(j) The credit of the tenants (or if a lease is guaranteed, the credit of the guarantor so long as such lease is guaranteed pursuant to a guaranty satisfactory to Lender) occupying the Substitute Property and the lease rollover schedule for such tenants shall be satisfactory to Lender.
(k) Lender shall have received a physical condition report (conforming with Lender’s then current guidelines and report requirements) of the Substitute Property from an engineer or architect chosen by Lender, which report shall be satisfactory in all respects to Lender. In addition, Lender shall have received an Environmental Site Assessment (conforming with Lender’s then-current guidelines and report requirements) of the Substitute Property from an environmental consulting firm chosen by Lender, which Environmental Site Assessment shall be satisfactory in all respects to Lender. The cost of preparation of all such reports and all necessary inspections shall be paid by the applicable Individual Borrower or Gatlinburg Obligor;
(l) The Substitute Property (including, without limitation, the location, the demographics of the market area, appearance, configuration, quality and age of the Substitute Property) shall be satisfactory to Lender;
(m) The value and NOI (as defined above) of the Substitute Property shall equal or exceed the then-market value and NOI of the Exiting Property, all as determined by Lender;
(n) All conditions that Borrowers were obligated to meet and satisfy under the terms of the Loan Application in connection with the closing of the Loans, or, if required by Lender, Lender’s then current closing and underwriting requirements, shall be satisfied regarding the Substitute Property, including without limitation, that (i) all Loan Documents shall be satisfactory to Lender, (ii) Lender receives a satisfactory legal opinion from the applicable Individual Borrower’s or Gatlinburg Obligor’s counsel, (iii) title to the Substitute Property shall be satisfactory in all respects to Lender (including, without limitation, evidence that Lender shall have a first and exclusive Lien on the fee simple interest in the Substitute Property), (iv) Lender shall receive a satisfactory survey and title insurance policy, (v) Lender receives satisfactory evidence that the Substitute Property complies with all applicable government requirements, and (vi) Borrowers’ and Gatlinburg Obligor’s current financial condition shall be satisfactory to Lender;
(o) At the same time that the applicable Individual Borrower or Gatlinburg Obligor delivers its written notice to Lender requesting a Substitution, such party shall pay to Lender a non-refundable administrative fee of $25,000 (the “Substitution Administrative Fee”), and the Substitution Administrative Fee shall be deemed earned by Lender upon Lender’s receipt of such fee. At the closing of the Substitution, the applicable Individual Borrower or Gatlinburg Obligor shall pay to Lender a non-refundable fee of one half of one percent (0.5%) of the Allocated Loan Amount for the Exiting Property
13
(or, if the Exiting Property is the Gatlinburg Individual Property, one half of one percent (0.5%) of the Gatlinburg Release Price); provided, however, that Lender shall credit against such non-refundable fee paid at the closing of the Substitution the Substitution Administrative Fee that such Individual Borrower or Gatlinburg Obligor previously paid to Lender. Neither the Substitution Administrative Fee nor the non-refundable fee paid at the closing of the Substitution shall be applied to the applicable Individual Loan or the outstanding principal balance due under the Loans;
(p) Whether or not the Substitution actually closes, Borrowers and Gatlinburg Obligor shall pay all costs and expenses associated with the Substitution, including but not limited to, title insurance and survey fees and expenses, recording charges and taxes, documentary stamp taxes, intangible taxes, attorneys’ fees (including attorneys’ fees and expenses for Lender’s staff attorneys and outside counsel), fees of Lender’s architect and/or engineer, and fees related to the Environmental Site Assessment;
(q) Lender shall have determined that, after giving effect to the proposed Substitution (excluding the Exiting Property, but including the Substitute Property), the Loan to Value Ratio for the Security Pool shall not exceed fifty-five percent (55%), and Lender shall have determined that, after giving effect to the proposed Substitution (excluding the Exiting Property, but including the Substitute Property), the Debt Service Coverage Ratio for the Security Pool shall be at least 1.75;
(r) Lender shall have determined that, following the Substitution, the aggregate amount of the Individual Loans with respect to all Individual Properties that comprised part of the Security Pool as of the date of this Agreement and that would remain as part of the Security Pool, shall be greater than fifty-five percent (55%) of the total original principal amount of the Loans; and
(s) Lender’s decision to accept or reject any proposed Substitute Property shall be in Lender’s sole and absolute discretion; it being understood that, without limiting the foregoing, under no circumstances shall the Substitute Property qualify for a Substitution unless the value of the Substitute Property is, in Lender’s sole judgment, equal to or greater than one hundred percent (100%) of the value of the Exiting Property, as determined by Lender, and is at least equal to the Exiting Property in each of the following respects: (a) stability of cash flow, taking into consideration weighted average lease maturities; (b) tenant credit and quality and diversification; (c) building quality and diversification; and (d) location quality and diversification. Each of Borrowers and Gatlinburg Obligor acknowledge that Lender may reject a property proposed as a Substitute Property for any reason or without giving a reason, and Borrowers and Gatlinburg Obligor assume such risk notwithstanding that it may spend substantial resources preparing the reports and other information required by Lender with respect to the Substitute Property;
(t) Lender determines in its sole discretion that the Substitution would not result in a violation of the ERISA provisions contained in Lender’s then-current guidelines and requirements, and Borrowers and Gatlinburg Obligor deliver such certifications and other documents as Lender may request in connection therewith;
(u) Lender is satisfied, and Borrowers and Gatlinburg Obligor shall deliver such assurances as may be reasonably requested by Lender (including a reaffirmation certification or other agreement), that any guaranty, indemnity or similar instrument delivered to Lender in connection with the Loans remains in full force and effect, notwithstanding and taking into consideration the Substitution; and
14
(v) The Substitute Property shall have the same unpaid principal balance allocated to such Substitute Property as the then existing unpaid principal balance allocated to the Exiting Property at the time of the closing of the Substitution.
Lender shall have at least sixty (60) days in which to process any request to effect a Substitution after receipt of (1) all materials and information necessary to evaluate such request and (2) the Substitution Administrative Fee.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Section 3 above and/or this Section 4, Borrowers and Gatlinburg Obligor shall only have the right to a combined cumulative total (during the entire term of the Loans) of nine (9) Releases and Substitutions; provided, however, that Lender agrees to consider in good faith any request for its consent to a Release or Substitution that would cause the combined cumulative total of Releases and Substitutions during the term of the Loans to exceed nine (9) Releases and Substitutions, which consent may be given or withheld for any reason or given conditionally, in Lender’s sole discretion.
This Section 4 shall be personal to the original Borrowers and Gatlinburg Obligor, and no transferee shall have any rights under this Section 4.
5. | EVENT OF DEFAULT. |
5.1 Definition. The following shall be an “Event of Default”:
(a) if any of Borrowers or Gatlinburg Obligor fails to make any payment required under the Loan Documents when due and such failure continues for five (5) days after written notice; provided, however, that if Lender gives one (1) notice of default within any twelve (12) month period, none of Borrowers or Gatlinburg Obligor shall have any further right to any notice of monetary default during that twelve (12) month period;
(b) except for defaults listed in the other subsections of this Section 5.1, if any of Borrowers or Gatlinburg Obligor fails to perform or comply with any other provision contained in any of the Loan Documents and the default is not cured within thirty (30) days of Lender’s providing written notice thereof, or such longer period as may be provided for in the Loan Documents (the “Grace Period”); provided, however, that Lender may extend the Grace Period up to an additional sixty (60) days (for a total of ninety (90) days from the date of default) if (i) such Borrower or Gatlinburg Obligor immediately commences and diligently pursues the cure of such default and delivers (within the Grace Period) to Lender a written request for more time and (ii) Lender determines in good faith that (1) such default cannot be cured within the Grace Period but can be cured within ninety (90) days after the default, (2) no Lien or security interest created by the Loan Documents will be impaired prior to completion of such cure, and (3) Lender’s immediate exercise of any remedies provided hereunder or by law is not necessary for the protection or preservation of any Individual Property or Lender’s security interest;
(c) if any representation made (i) in connection with any of the Loans or any of the Pool Obligations, or (ii) in the Loan Application or any of the Loan Documents shall be false or misleading in any material respect;
(d) if any default under Section 2 of this Agreement occurs;
15
(e) if any of Borrowers or Gatlinburg Obligor shall (i) become insolvent, (ii) make a transfer in fraud of creditors, (iii) make an assignment for the benefit of its creditors, (iv) not be able to pay its debts as such debts become due, or (v) admit in writing its inability to pay its debts as they become due;
(f) if any bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, insolvency, or liquidation proceeding, or any other proceedings for the relief of debtors, is instituted by or against any of Borrowers or Gatlinburg Obligor, and, if instituted against any of Borrowers or Gatlinburg Obligor, is allowed, consented to, or not dismissed within the earlier to occur of (i) ninety (90) days after such institution or (ii) the filing of an order for relief;
(g) if any of the events in Sections 5.1(e) or (f) shall occur with respect to any (i) managing member of any of Borrowers or Gatlinburg Obligor, (ii) general partner of any of Borrowers or Gatlinburg Obligor, or (iii) guarantor of payment or performance of any of the Pool Obligations;
(h) if any Individual Property shall be taken, attached, or sequestered on execution or other process of law in any action against any of Borrowers or Gatlinburg Obligor;
(i) if any default occurs under the Environmental Indemnities or the ERISA Indemnities and such default is not cured within any applicable grace period in that document;
(j) if any of Borrowers or Gatlinburg Obligor shall fail at any time to obtain, maintain, renew, or keep in force the insurance policies required by Section 3.06 of the Mortgages within ten (10) days after written notice;
(k) if any of Borrowers or Gatlinburg Obligor shall be in default under any other mortgage or security agreement covering any part of any Individual Property, whether it be superior or junior in Lien to the Mortgages;
(l) if any claim of priority (except based upon a Permitted Encumbrance) to the Loan Documents by title, Lien, or otherwise shall be upheld by any court of competent jurisdiction or shall be consented to by any of Borrowers or Gatlinburg Obligor; or
(m) (i) the consummation by any of Borrowers or Gatlinburg Obligor of any transaction which would cause (A) any of the Loans or any exercise of Lender’s rights under any of the Loan Documents to constitute a non-exempt prohibited transaction under ERISA, or (B) a violation of a state statute regulating governmental plans; (ii) the failure of any representation in Section 3.11 of the Mortgages to be true and correct in all respects; or (iii) the failure of any of Borrowers or Gatlinburg Obligor to provide Lender with the written certifications required by Section 3.11 of the Mortgages.
5.2 Remedies. Upon the occurrence of any Event of Default, Lender may at any time declare all of the Indebtedness to be due and payable, and the same shall thereupon become immediately due and payable, together with all payments due in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, the Notes, and the other Loan Documents, without any further presentment, demand, protest or notice of any kind, and Lender shall also have all rights and remedies provided for in the Loan Documents. All remedies of Lender provided for herein and in the Loan Documents and the Environmental Indemnities and the ERISA Indemnities are cumulative and shall be in addition to any and all other rights and remedies provided in the other Loan Documents or, by law, including any right of offset. The exercise of any right or remedy by Lender hereunder shall not in any way constitute a cure or waiver of default
16
hereunder or under the Loan Documents, or invalidate any act done pursuant to any notice of default, or prejudice Lender in the exercise of any of its rights hereunder or under the Loan Documents or the Environmental Indemnities or the ERISA Indemnities.
5.3 Multiple Obligations; Cross Default. Each of Borrowers and Gatlinburg Obligor understands, acknowledges and agrees that each of the Notes is a separate and distinct legal obligation and that the execution of a single Loan Agreement and references herein to the “Loan” or “Loans” is for purposes of administrative convenience only. Each of Borrowers and Gatlinburg Obligor further understands, acknowledges and agrees that the occurrence of a default under any of the Notes or other Loan Documents shall constitute a default under all other Notes and other Loan Documents, following the expiration of any applicable cure period, and shall entitle Lender to exercise all of its rights and remedies under all of the Loan Documents, including, without limitation, accelerating the maturity date of any or all of the Notes and foreclosing the Liens of any or all of the Mortgages in such order and manner as Lender may elect in its sole and absolute discretion.
5.4 Application of Foreclosure Proceeds. In the event of a foreclosure (non-judicial or judicial) of any of the Mortgages encumbering any of the Individual Properties, each of Borrowers and Gatlinburg Obligor agrees that Lender shall have full and complete discretion to apply any proceeds from the sale of the applicable Individual Property, after (i) payment of any and all costs of foreclosure, (ii) payment of attorneys’ and trustee’s fees, (iii) payment of any other sums required to be paid under applicable Laws, and (iv) satisfaction of the foreclosed obligation and (any such remaining proceeds being defined as the “Excess Proceeds”) to the prepayment or repayment (together with applicable Prepayment Premium, if any) of the indebtedness evidenced by any of the other Notes. Each of Borrowers and Gatlinburg Obligor hereby irrevocably assigns, transfers and conveys to Lender any and all of its right, title and interest in and to the Excess Proceeds and consents to the prepayment or repayment of indebtedness herein above provided. Each of Borrowers and Gatlinburg Obligor hereby waives any right to require Lender to (i) marshal any assets of any of Borrowers or Gatlinburg Obligor (including, without limitation, the Individual Properties), or (ii) any right to require a sale in inverse order of alienation in the event of foreclosure of the Liens and security interests created by the Mortgages or any of the other Loan Documents.

TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, ALL PARTIES TO THIS AGREEMENT IRREVOCABLY WAIVE ALL RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY JUDICIAL PROCEEDING ARISING OUT OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT, ANY NOTE OR ANY OBLIGATION.

7. | PROVISIONS CONCERNING CAPITAL IMPROVEMENTS |
7.1 Each of Borrowers hereby represents and warrants to Lender that each of the Golf Course Master Leases with the Golf Course Master Tenant provides that Borrowers are obligated to deliver certain funds (the “Capex Funds”) to the Golf Course Master Tenant under the Golf Course Master Leases, which such Capex Funds shall be used solely to fund the costs of certain capital improvements to the Property (collectively, the “Capital Improvements”). Lender has developed a list of Capital Improvements more particularly set forth in Exhibit C attached hereto and by this reference incorporated herein (the “Proposed List”). Each of Borrowers hereby agrees to negotiate in good faith with the Golf Course Master Tenant to cause the items on the Proposed List to be included among the Capital Improvements. The final list of Capital Improvements shall be delivered to Lender promptly upon agreement on the list between Borrowers and the Golf Course Tenant. Provided that Borrowers at all times remain in compliance with the requirements Section 8.2 of this Agreement, Borrowers and the Golf Course Master Tenant shall have the right to modify the list of Capital Improvements (and the budget therefor) from time to time without Lender’s consent, but Lender shall be provided an updated list of Capital Improvements within fifteen (15) days after any such modification.
7.2 Borrowers hereby further covenant and agree with Lender as follows: (i) the Capex Funds shall be in the minimum amount of $8,000,000, (ii) the Capital Improvements shall be completed as and when required under the terms and conditions of the Golf Course Master Leases, (iii) the Capital Improvements shall be completed prior to the date that is the third (3rd) anniversary of the Closing Date (the “Capex Completion Date”), (iv) the Capital Improvements shall in all events include replacing, repairing and/or resodding the greens at the Deer Creek Individual Property, and (v) on or before the Capex Completion Date, Borrowers shall deliver to Lender evidence that the Capex Funds have been fully expended to fund completion of the Capital Improvements. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that any of the terms of the foregoing sentence have not been complied with, then such failure shall not be an Event of Default under the Loan Documents if Borrowers promptly deposit with Lender an amount equal to the positive difference between $8,000,000 and the amount actually paid by Borrowers, as of the calculation date, to fund completion of the Capital Improvements (the “Capex Escrow”). The Capex Escrow shall be held as additional security for the Loans and shall be released to the applicable Borrower as and when additional Capital Improvements are completed based upon the actual amount expended on such Capital Improvements completed after the date of the deposit of the Capex Escrow.
8. | PROVISIONS CONCERNING TENANT CAPITAL EXPENSE DEPOSITS |
8.1 Under the terms of each of the Golf Course Master Leases affecting the Individual Properties in the Security Pool (excluding the Gatlinburg Individual Property), the Golf Course Master Tenant under each such Golf Course Master Lease is obligated to fund to an account held by each Individual Borrower, as landlord under such Golf Course Master Lease, for certain reserves relating to each Individual Property (excluding the Gatlinburg Individual Property) (collectively, the “Deposits”).
19
8.2 Borrowers, Lender and a clearing bank acceptable to Lender (the “Clearing Bank”) have entered into (or will, prior to the establishment of the Deposits, enter into) an account control agreement giving Lender control of the Deposits, which will govern the collection and distribution of the Deposits during the term of the Loans. From and after Closing, the Deposits shall be paid directly by the Golf Course Master Tenant under the Golf Course Master Leases to an account in Lender’s sole dominion and control acceptable to Lender and maintained with the Clearing Bank. The Deposits shall be released in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Golf Course Master Leases. Notwithstanding the foregoing, (i) following an Event of Default as provided in the Loan Documents, the Deposits shall not be released to any of Borrowers in any event and (ii) following an “Event of Default” (as defined in the applicable Golf Course Master Lease) under any applicable Golf Course Master Lease, the Deposits shall not be released to any of Borrowers unless and until such Borrower has entered into bona fide and binding new Leases in compliance with the terms and conditions of the Loan Documents that replace the Golf Course Master Leases that were the subject of such default.
9. | PROVISIONS CONCERNING GOLF COURSE MASTER TENANT SECURITY DEPOSITS |
9.1 Borrowers and Lender acknowledge that each of the security deposits and security deposit reserves under each of the Golf Course Master Leases (the “Pool Security Deposits”) is pooled into the Variable Security Deposit Reserve Account (as defined in the Golf Course Master Leases) both with (i) the security deposits under each of the other Golf Course Master Leases and (ii) certain security deposits delivered by the Golf Course Master Tenant (the “Non-Pool Security Deposits”; and collectively with the Pool Security Deposits, the “Aggregate Security Deposits”) under certain other lease agreements between the Golf Course Master Tenant and certain affiliates of Borrowers (the “Non-Pool Landlords”) relating to certain properties not included in the Security Pool (the “Non-Pool Leases”).
9.2 If at any time the aggregate amount of the Aggregate Security Deposits in the Variable Security Deposit Reserve Account not yet recognized as income to any Borrower or any Non-Pool Landlord (under GAAP accrual basis accounting) falls below the sum of $1,000,000.00, Borrowers shall promptly replenish the Aggregate Security Deposits or cause the Golf Course Master Tenant to replenish the Aggregate Security Deposits to an amount of not less than $1,000,000.00.
