Should Lender be entitled to an exemption from or reduction of any Indemnified Tax on any amounts payable hereunder, it shall deliver to Borrower, at the time or times reasonably requested by Borrower, such properly completed and executed documentation reasonably requested by Borrower as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate of withholding. In addition, Lender, if reasonably requested by Borrower, shall deliver such other documentation prescribed by applicable law or reasonably requested by Borrower as will enable Borrower to determine whether or not Lender is subject to backup withholding or information reporting requirements. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the preceding two sentences, the completion, execution and submission of such documentation (other than such documentation set forth in this Section 2.2.2(c) below) shall not be required if in Lender’s reasonable judgment such completion, execution or submission would subject Lender to any material unreimbursed cost or expense or would materially prejudice the legal or commercial position of Lender. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, (x) in the event Lender is a United States person (as defined in Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code), it shall deliver on or prior to the date it becomes a Lender under this Agreement duly executed copies of IRS Form W-9 certifying that Lender is exempt from U.S. federal backup
-23-
withholding Special Tax, and (y) in the event Lender is not a United States person (as defined in Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code), it shall deliver, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, (i) on or prior to the date it becomes a Lender under this Agreement duly executed copies of whichever IRS Form or Forms W-8, certifications of qualification for the benefits of the portfolio interest exemption under section 881(c) of the Code and any other form and supplementary documentation prescribed by applicable law that are applicable to such Lender as a basis for claiming exemption from or reduction in U.S. federal withholding Special Tax and (ii) such documentation prescribed by applicable law or reasonably requested by Borrower as may be necessary for Borrower to comply with its obligations under FATCA and to determine that Lender has complied with its obligations under FATCA or to determine the amount to deduct and withhold from a payment made to Lender that would be subject to withholding tax imposed pursuant to FATCA. Lender agrees that if any form or certification it previously delivered expires or becomes obsolete or inaccurate in any respect, it shall update such form or certification or notify Borrower of its legal inability to do so.
(d) In the event that any change in any requirement of law or in the interpretation or application thereof, or compliance by Lender with any request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) hereafter issued from any central bank or other Governmental Authority (a “Triggering Event”):
(i) shall hereafter impose, modify or hold applicable any reserve, capital adequacy, tax, special deposit, compulsory loan or similar requirement against assets held by, or deposits or other liabilities in or for the account of, advances or loans by, or other credit extended by, or any other acquisition of funds by, any office of Lender which is not otherwise included in the determination of LIBOR hereunder;
(ii) shall hereafter have the effect of reducing the rate of return on Lender’s capital as a consequence of its obligations hereunder to a level below that which Lender could have achieved but for such adoption, change or compliance (taking into consideration Lender’s policies with respect to capital adequacy) by any amount deemed by Lender to be material; or
(iii) shall hereafter impose on Lender any other condition and the result of any of the foregoing is to increase the cost to Lender of making, renewing or maintaining loans or extensions of credit or to reduce any amount receivable hereunder; or
(iv) subjects Lender to any Special Taxes (other than (A) Special Taxes described in clauses (b) through (d) of the exclusions applicable to the definition of Indemnified Taxes in Section 2.2.2(c) and (B) Other Connection Taxes imposed on or measured by net income (however denominated) or that are franchise Special Taxes or branch profits Special Taxes) on its loans, loan principal, letters of credit, commitments, or other obligations, or its deposits, reserves, other liabilities or capital attributable thereto;
then, in any such case, Borrower shall promptly pay Lender, upon demand, any additional amounts necessary to compensate Lender for such additional cost or reduced amount receivable as determined by Lender. At the request of Borrower, Lender shall use reasonable efforts to designate a different lending office if, in Lender’s judgment, such designation (i) will avoid the need for, or reduce the amount of, such compensation and (ii) would not subject Lender to any unreimbursed cost or expense and would not otherwise be disadvantageous to Lender. If Lender becomes entitled to claim any additional amounts pursuant to this subsection, Lender shall provide Borrower with not less than thirty (30) days notice specifying in reasonable detail the event by reason of which it has become so entitled and the additional amount required to fully compensate Lender for such additional cost or reduced amount. A certificate as to any additional costs or amounts payable pursuant to the foregoing sentence submitted by Lender to Borrower shall be conclusive
-24-
in the absence of manifest error. Failure or delay on the part of Lender to demand compensation pursuant to this Section 2.2.2(d) shall not constitute a waiver of such Lender’s right to demand such compensation; provided that the Borrower shall not be required to compensate a Lender pursuant to this Section 2.2.2(d) for any increased costs incurred or reductions suffered more than nine months prior to the date that such Lender notifies the Borrower of any Triggering Event giving rise to such increased costs or reductions, and of such Lender’s intention to claim compensation therefor (except that, if the Triggering Event giving rise to such increased costs or reductions is retroactive, then the nine-month period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof). For the avoidance of doubt, the foregoing nine-month limitation specified in the previous sentence shall not apply to Section 2.2.2(c). The provisions of Section 2.2.2(c) and (d) shall survive payment of the Note, any assignment of rights by any Lender, and the satisfaction of all other obligations of Borrower under this Agreement and the Loan Documents.
(e) Borrower agrees to indemnify Lender and to hold Lender harmless from any actual out-of-pocket loss or expense (excluding punitive damages other than those payable by Lender to third parties) which Lender actually sustains or incurs as a proximate consequence of (A) any default by Borrower in payment of the principal of or interest on a LIBOR Loan, including, without limitation, any such loss or expense arising from interest or fees payable by Lender to lenders of funds obtained by it in order to maintain a LIBOR Loan hereunder, and (B) any prepayment (whether voluntary or mandatory) of the LIBOR Loan on a day that is not the Monthly Payment Date, including, without limitation, such loss or expense arising from interest or fees payable by Lender to lenders of funds obtained by it in order to maintain the LIBOR Loan hereunder and, including, without limitation, such loss or expenses arising from interest or fees payable by Lender to lenders of funds obtained by it in order to maintain a LIBOR Loan hereunder (the amounts referred to in clauses (A), and (B) are herein referred to collectively as the “Breakage Costs”); provided, however, that Lender provides to Borrower a detailed statement detailing such Breakage Costs (which calculation shall be controlling absent manifest error), and provided further that Borrower shall not be required to indemnify Lender for any such loss or expense to the extent arising from Lender’s active gross negligence or willful misconduct or breach of this Agreement. This provision shall survive payment of the Note in full and the satisfaction of all other obligations of Borrower under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.
2.2.3 Default Rate. In the event that, and for so long as, any Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the outstanding principal balance of the Loan and, to the extent permitted by law, overdue interest in respect of the Loan, shall accrue interest at the Default Rate, calculated from the date such payment was due without regard to any grace or cure periods contained herein.
2.2.4 Interest Calculation. Interest on the outstanding principal balance of the Loan shall be calculated on the basis of the actual number of days elapsed in the period for which the calculation is being made and a three hundred sixty (360) day year, except that (i) if the Closing Date occurs on a date other than the first (1st) day of a calendar month, interest payable for the period commencing on the Closing Date and ending on the last day of the month in which the Closing Date occurs shall be calculated on the basis of the actual number of days elapsed over a 365 day or 366 day year, as applicable, and (ii) if the Maturity Date occurs on a date other than the first (1st) day of a calendar month, interest payable for the period commencing on the first (1st) day of the month in which the Maturity Date occurs and ending on the Maturity Date shall be calculated on the basis of the actual number of days elapsed over a 365 day or 366 day year, as applicable. The accrual period for calculating interest due on each Monthly Payment Date shall be the calendar month immediately prior to such Monthly Payment Date.
-25-
2.2.5 Usury Savings. This Agreement and the other Loan Documents are subject to the express condition that at no time shall Borrower be required to pay interest on the principal balance of the Loan at a rate which could subject Lender to either civil or criminal liability as a result of being in excess of the Maximum Legal Rate. If by the terms of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, Borrower is at any time required or obligated to pay interest on the principal balance due hereunder at a rate in excess of the Maximum Legal Rate, the Interest Rate or the Default Rate, as the case may be, shall be deemed to be immediately reduced to the Maximum Legal Rate and all previous payments in excess of the Maximum Legal Rate shall be deemed to have been payments in reduction of principal and not on account of the interest due hereunder. All sums paid or agreed to be paid to Lender for the use, forbearance, or detention of the sums due under the Loan, shall, to the extent permitted by applicable law, be amortized, prorated, allocated, and spread throughout the full stated term of the Loan until payment in full so that the rate or amount of interest on account of the Loan does not exceed the Maximum Legal Rate from time to time in effect and applicable to the Loan for so long as the Loan is outstanding.
Section 2.3 | Loan Payments. |
2.3.1 Monthly Debt Service Payments. Borrower shall make a payment to Lender of interest only on the Closing Date for the period from the Closing Date through the last day of the month in which the Closing Date occurs. Borrower shall make a payment to Lender of accrued and unpaid interest on the Monthly Payment Date occurring in the second (2nd) calendar month following the Closing Date and on each Monthly Payment Date thereafter to (but excluding) the Maturity Date. Each payment shall be applied first to accrued and unpaid interest and the balance, if any, to principal, subject to Section 2.4 hereof.
2.3.2 Payment on Maturity Date. Borrower shall pay to Lender on the Maturity Date the outstanding principal balance of the Loan, all accrued and unpaid interest (to but excluding the Maturity Date) and all other amounts due hereunder and under the Note, the Mortgage and the other Loan Documents. Borrower acknowledges and agrees that a substantial portion of the original Loan Amount shall be outstanding and due on the Maturity Date.
2.3.3 Late Payment Charge. If any principal, interest or any other sum due under the Loan Documents, other than the payment of principal due on the Maturity Date, is not paid by Borrower within seven (7) days of the date on which it is due, Borrower shall pay to Lender on demand an amount equal to the lesser of (i) four percent (4%) of such unpaid sum or (ii) the maximum amount permitted by applicable law (the “Late Payment Charge”) in order to defray the expense incurred by Lender in handling and processing such delinquent payment and to compensate Lender for the loss of the use of such delinquent payment. Any such amount shall be secured by the Mortgage and the other Loan Documents.
2.3.4 Method and Place of Payment.
(a) Except as otherwise specifically provided herein, all payments and prepayments under this Agreement and the Note shall be made to Lender not later than 1:00 P.M., New York City time, on the date when due and shall be made in lawful money of the United States of America in immediately available funds, and any funds received by Lender after such time shall, for all purposes hereof, be deemed to have been paid on the next succeeding Business Day.

-26-
(c) All payments required to be made by Borrower hereunder or under the Note or the other Loan Documents shall be made irrespective of, and without deduction for, any setoff, claim or counterclaim and shall be made irrespective of any defense thereto.
Section 2.4 | Prepayments. |
2.4.1 Voluntary Prepayments.
(a) Except as otherwise provided herein (including as provided in Section 2.4.2 and Section 2.6 below), Borrower shall not have the right to prepay the Loan in whole or in part prior to the Maturity Date.
(b) Commencing on the first day of the first month following the Closing Date, Borrower may prepay the Loan in whole (or, solely to the extent such prepayment is made pursuant to Section 5.2.1 (Insurance Proceeds), Section 5.2.2 (Condemnation Proceeds), or Section 2.8(a) (prepayment in connection with Extension Option), in part), at any time so long as the following conditions are satisfied:
(i) no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing (unless such Event of Default shall no longer exist as a result of such prepayment);
(ii) Borrower gives Lender not less than ten (10) days’ prior written notice (such written notice, a “Prepayment Notice”) specifying the date on which prepayment is to be made (such date, a “Prepayment Date”) and the principal amount of the Loan that Borrower intends to prepay; and
(iii) Borrower pays Lender, in addition to the outstanding principal balance of the Loan (or portion thereof if such prepayment is made pursuant to Section 5.2.1 (Insurance Proceeds), Section 5.2.2 (Condemnation Proceeds), or Section 2.8(a) (prepayment in connection with Extension Option) hereof): (A) all other sums then due and payable under this Agreement, the Note, and the other Loan Documents with respect to the amount being repaid, including, but not limited to the Breakage Costs (if any) and all of Lender’s actual out-of-pocket costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) incurred in connection with such prepayment, and (B) if such prepayment occurs on or before January 1, 2016, the Prepayment Fee.
(c) Lender shall notify Borrower of the amount and the basis of determination of the required prepayment consideration. If a Prepayment Notice is given by Borrower to Lender pursuant to this Section 2.4.1(b), the amount designated for prepayment and all other sums required under this Section 2.4 shall be due and payable on the proposed Prepayment Date. Notwithstanding the foregoing, not more than four (4) times during the term of the Loan and not more than two (2) times in any twelve (12) month period, Borrower shall have the right to revoke its election to prepay the Loan with written notice delivered to Lender not more than two (2) Business Days prior to the scheduled prepayment, provided that such rescission is demonstrated to Lender’s reasonable satisfaction to be solely the result of a failure of an anticipated refinancing or sale of the Property, and so long as Borrower pays all out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred by Lender with respect to the processing and/or review of such rescinded Prepayment Notice, which amounts shall be payable within ten (10) Business Days of Lender’s written demand therefor.
-27-
2.4.2 Application of Restoration Funds. No Prepayment Fee shall be applicable to the application of Net Insurance Proceeds, Net Condemnation Proceeds or Restoration Funds to the Debt, so long as no Event of Default then exists (except for Events of Default which result solely from the applicable Casualty or Condemnation event and not from Borrower’s acts or failure to act (with respect to such Casualty or Condemnation or otherwise), e.g., the inherent conflict between the effects of a Casualty and any obligation hereunder to maintain the Improvements in good condition and repair).
2.4.3 Prepayments After Default. If after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, payment of all or any part of the principal of the Loan is tendered by Borrower, a purchaser at foreclosure or any other Person prior to January 1, 2016, such tender shall be deemed an attempt to circumvent the prohibition against prepayment set forth in Section 2.4.1 and Borrower, such purchaser at foreclosure or other Person shall be required to pay the Prepayment Fee, in addition to the entire outstanding principal balance, all accrued and unpaid interest and other amounts payable under the Loan Documents.
Section 2.5 | Release of Property. |
(a) Except as set forth in this Section 2.5 and Section 2.6, no repayment or prepayment of all or any portion of the Loan shall cause, give rise to a right to require, or otherwise result in, the release of the Lien of the Mortgage on the Property.
(b) Lender shall, upon the written request and at the expense of Borrower, upon indefeasible payment in full of all principal and interest due on the Loan and all other amounts due and payable under the Loan Documents in accordance with the terms and provisions of the Note, this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, release the Lien of the Mortgage on the Property and all other collateral securing the Loan.
(c) In connection with the release of the Mortgage, Borrower shall submit to Lender, not less than ten (10) Business Days prior to the Monthly Payment Date on which Borrower intends to pay the Loan in full, a draft release of Lien (and related Loan Documents) for the Property for execution by Lender. Such release shall be in a form appropriate for use in New York County and otherwise reasonably acceptable to Lender and shall contain provisions protecting the rights of the releasing lender which are then customary, if any, for such releases. In addition, Borrower shall provide all other documentation Lender reasonably requires to be delivered by Borrower in connection with such release, together with an Officer’s Certificate certifying that such documentation (i) is in compliance with all Legal Requirements, and (ii) will effect such release in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.
-28-
(d) In lieu of a release of the Mortgage as provided above, upon request of Borrower and at Borrower’s sole cost and expense, Lender agrees to cooperate to provide assignments of the Mortgage and the other Loan Documents without representation or warranty (other than a representation by Lender with respect to no prior assignment of the Note by Lender) and without recourse, to any Person designated by Borrower (other than Borrower or a nominee or affiliate of Borrower). In connection with any assignment of the Mortgage pursuant to the foregoing, Lender shall execute and/or deliver pursuant to escrow arrangements reasonably acceptable to Lender (i) the originally-executed Note and all originally-executed other notes which Lender actually received on the Closing Date which may have been consolidated, amended and/or restated in connection with the execution of the Note (or if the original of the Note has been lost, destroyed or mutilated, a lost note affidavit and indemnity, in form reasonably acceptable to Lender and Borrower, for the benefit of the assignee lender and the title insurance company insuring the mortgage), (ii) an allonge with respect to the Note and (iii) such other instruments of conveyance, assignment, termination and release (including appropriate UCC-3 termination statements and a termination of the Assignment of Leases) in recordable form (where applicable) as may reasonably be requested by Borrower to evidence such assignment.

Section 2.6 | Release of Units. |
2.6.1 Transfers to TRS.

Section 2.7 | Interest Rate Cap Agreement. |
(a) At or prior to the Closing Date, Borrower shall enter into an interest rate cap agreement (the “Initial Interest Rate Cap Agreement”) which shall protect against an increase in interest rates which would cause the Interest Rate to exceed 5.00% per annum, which interest rate cap agreement shall have a term of not less than one year and otherwise comply with the terms of this Section 2.7.
(b) Prior to the expiration of the Initial Interest Rate Cap Agreement and each successive Replacement Interest Rate Cap Agreement thereafter, Borrower shall enter into an interest rate cap agreement which shall protect against an increase in interest rates that would cause the Debt Service Coverage Ratio to be less than 1.40x and otherwise complies with the terms of this Section 2.7. (each a “Replacement Interest Rate Cap Agreement”, and such Initial Interest Rate Cap Agreement or Replacement Interest Rate Cap Agreement each an “Interest Rate Cap Agreement”, and the counterparty to any of the foregoing, a “Counterparty”).
(c) With respect to each and every Interest Rate Cap Agreement, such Interest Rate Cap Agreement (i) shall be in form reasonably acceptable to Lender, (ii) shall be with a Counterparty acceptable to Lender and which Counterparty shall have a credit rating of A2 or better by Xxxxx’x, and A or better by S&P, (iii) shall direct the Counterparty to deposit any and all payments due under the Interest Rate Cap Agreement directly into an account designated by Lender so long as any portion of the Loan remains outstanding (provided, however, that for purposes of this requirement, the Loan shall be deemed to be remaining outstanding if the Property is transferred to Lender (or its nominee or designee) by judicial foreclosure or non-judicial foreclosure or by deed-in-lieu thereof), (iv) shall have an initial term of not less than one (1) year and shall be continually renewed during the term of the Loan for periods of not less than one (1) year prior to the then expiration date, and (v) shall have an initial notional amount equal to the principal balance of the Loan at the time the parties enter into such Interest Rate Cap Agreement.
(d) Additionally, Borrower shall collaterally assign to Lender, pursuant to the Collateral Assignment of Interest Rate Cap Agreement, all of its right, title and interest in and to the Interest Rate Cap Agreement (and any replacements thereof), including, without limitation, its right to receive any and all payments under the Interest Rate Cap Agreement (and any replacements thereof), and Borrower shall, and shall cause Counterparty to, deliver to Lender a fully executed Interest Rate Cap Agreement (which shall, by its terms, authorize the assignment to Lender and require that payments be deposited directly into the account designated in writing from time to time by Lender).
(e) Borrower shall comply with all of its obligations under the terms and provisions of the Interest Rate Cap Agreement. All amounts paid by the Counterparty under the Interest Rate Cap Agreement to Borrower or Lender shall be deposited immediately into the Lockbox Account. Borrower shall take all actions reasonably requested by Lender to enforce Lender’s rights under the Interest Rate Cap Agreement in the event of a default by the Counterparty and shall not waive, amend or otherwise modify any of its rights thereunder.
-38-
(f) In the event of any downgrade or qualification of the rating of the Counterparty by Moody’s or S&P such that the rating of the Counterparty is below a long term rating of A3 by Moody’s or below a long term rating of A- by S&P, or if the rating of such Counterparty has been withdrawn by Moody’s or S&P, Borrower shall, not later than ten (10) Business Days following receipt of notice from Lender, either: (i) replace the Interest Rate Cap Agreement with an Interest Rate Cap Agreement in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Lender (and meeting the requirements set forth in this Section 2.7) from a Counterparty reasonably acceptable to Lender having a credit rating of “A2” or better by Xxxxx’x Investors Service, Inc., and “A” or better by Standard and Poor’s Rating Group, (ii) cause the Counterparty to post collateral for the Interest Rate Cap Agreement in an amount equal to 100% of the xxxx-to-market value of the Interest Rate Cap Agreement pursuant to an ISDA Credit Support Annex (NY Law) with the “Credit Support Amount” defined to be 100% of the Secured Party’s Exposure (as such terms are defined in the ISDA Credit Support Annex (NY Law) as published by the ISDA in 1994, or (iii) cause the Counterparty to provide a guaranty of the Counterparty’s obligations under the Interest Rate Cap Agreement from an entity that has a credit rating of A2 or better by Moody’s and A or better by S&P.
(g) In the event that Borrower fails to purchase and deliver to Lender the Interest Rate Cap Agreement or fails to maintain the Interest Rate Cap Agreement in accordance with the terms and provisions of this Agreement, then provided that Borrower has not cured such default within ten (10) Business Days after notice from Lender, Lender may purchase the Interest Rate Cap Agreement and the cost incurred by Lender in purchasing such Interest Rate Cap Agreement shall be paid by Borrower to Lender with interest thereon at the Default Rate from the date such cost was incurred by Lender until such cost is reimbursed by Borrower to Lender.
(h) Each Interest Rate Cap Agreement shall contain the following language or its equivalent:
In the event of any downgrade, withdrawal or qualification of the rating of the Counterparty below (i) a long term rating of “A-” by S&P or (ii) (A) a long term rating of “A3” by Moody’s, the Counterparty must, within ten (10) business days, either (x) post collateral in an amount equal to 100% of the xxxx-to-market value of the Interest Rate Cap Agreement pursuant to an ISDA Credit Support Annex (NY Law) with the “Credit Support Amount” defined to be 100% of the Secured Party’s Exposure (as such terms are defined in the ISDA Credit Support Annex (NY Law) as published by the ISDA in 1994 and otherwise on terms acceptable to Borrower, (y) find a replacement Counterparty, at the Counterparty’s sole cost and expense, with a credit rating of A2 or better by Moody’s, and A or better by S&P and otherwise acceptable to Borrower; provided that, notwithstanding such a downgrade, withdrawal or qualification, unless and until the Counterparty transfers the Interest Rate Cap Agreement to a replacement Counterparty pursuant to the foregoing clause (y), the Counterparty will continue to perform its obligations under the Interest Rate Cap Agreement, or (z) provide a guaranty of the Counterparty’s obligations under the Interest Rate Cap Agreement from an entity that has a credit rating of A2 or better by Moody’s and A or better by S&P. Failure to satisfy the foregoing shall constitute an “Additional Termination Event” as defined by Section 5(b)(v) of the ISDA Master Agreement, with the Counterparty as the “Affected Party.”
In the event that a Counterparty is required pursuant to the terms of an Interest Rate Cap Agreement to (i) deliver collateral as specified in the applicable Interest Rate Cap Agreement, or (ii) find a replacement Counterparty, Borrower covenants and agrees that Borrower shall seek Lender’s approval with respect thereto and shall not approve or consent to the foregoing unless and until Borrower receives Lender’s prior written
-39-
approval and shall approve or consent to the foregoing upon receipt of Lender’s prior written approval. Borrower’s failure to comply with the requirements of this Section 2.7(h) shall constitute, at Lender’s option, an immediate Event of Default.
(i) Within ten (10) Business Days after full execution of an Interest Rate Cap Agreement, Borrower shall obtain and deliver to Lender an opinion from counsel (which counsel may be in house counsel for the Counterparty) for the Counterparty (upon which Lender and its successors and assigns may rely) which shall provide, in relevant part, that:
(i) the Counterparty is duly organized, validly existing, and in good standing under the laws of its jurisdiction of incorporation and has the organizational power and authority to execute and deliver, and to perform its obligations under, the Interest Rate Cap Agreement;
(ii) the execution and delivery of the Interest Rate Cap Agreement by the Counterparty, and any other agreement which the Counterparty has executed and delivered pursuant thereto, and the performance of its obligations thereunder have been and remain duly authorized by all necessary action and do not contravene any provision of its certificate of incorporation or by-laws (or equivalent organizational documents) or any law, regulation or contractual restriction binding on or affecting it or its property;
(iii) all consents, authorizations and approvals required for the execution and delivery by the Counterparty of the Interest Rate Cap Agreement, and any other agreement which the Counterparty has executed and delivered pursuant thereto, and the performance of its obligations thereunder have been obtained and remain in full force and effect, all conditions thereof have been duly complied with, and no other action by, and no notice to or filing with any governmental authority or regulatory body is required for such execution, delivery or performance; and
(iv) the Interest Rate Cap Agreement, and any other agreement which the Counterparty has executed and delivered pursuant thereto, has been duly executed and delivered by the Counterparty and constitutes the legal, valid and binding obligation of the Counterparty, enforceable against the Counterparty in accordance with its terms, subject to applicable bankruptcy, insolvency and similar laws affecting creditors’ rights generally, and subject, as to enforceability, to general principles of equity (regardless of whether enforcement is sought in a proceeding in equity or at law).
(j) Proceeds of any and all rights that Borrower may now or hereafter have to any and all payments, disbursements, distributions or proceeds under any Interest Rate Cap Agreement (“Cap Proceeds”) may be held by Lender as cash collateral for Borrower’s obligations under the Loan Documents and shall be applied as provided below. If an Event of Default exists, any such Cap Proceeds may be applied by Lender to the payment of accrued interest, late charges, principal (including the Prepayment Fee, if any, occasioned by a principal payment), or any other obligation arising out of the obligations of Borrower to Lender under the Loan Documents in such manner as Lender in its sole discretion deems appropriate. If no Event of Default exists, proceeds of any such Cap Proceeds received by Lender shall upon receipt be applied by Lender to interest under the Note, then to any other amounts due and owing under the Loan Documents and any such Cap Proceeds which remain unapplied thereafter shall be returned to Borrower.

In connection with such evaluation, Borrower shall cause each KSL Liable Party to deliver to Lender an updated certified copy of each such Guarantor’s organizational documents, together with any other evidence required to satisfy the foregoing, prior to exercise by Borrower of the second Extension Option set forth herein.

-55-
(d) After request by Lender, but not more than once in any twelve month period, Borrower shall use commercially reasonable efforts to promptly obtain an estoppel certificate from each counterparty under each of the Operational Documents and the Hotel Guaranty, in form and substance substantially the same as the estoppel delivered to Lender on or prior to the date hereof or in such other form as is reasonably satisfactory to Lender.
(e) Borrower shall exercise commercially reasonable efforts to deliver to Lender, upon request, an estoppel certificate in a form reasonably requested by Lender from each Tenant under any non-residential Lease.
4.1.9 Leases.
(a) Borrower shall not, without the express written consent of Lender (not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed except as to clause (ii) below with respect to which Lender may withhold consent in its sole discretion): (i) enter into any Lease unless the Lease complies with the Leasing Guidelines, or (ii) except as may be required by law or expressly permitted under either a Lease existing on the date hereof, or any new Lease otherwise approved by Lender in writing, cancel or terminate any Major Lease or accept a surrender of any Major Lease (except in the case of a default) unless Borrower has entered into a new Lease or new Leases (or an amendment or amendments of another Lease or other Leases) covering all of the premises of the Major Lease being terminated or surrendered, or (iii) enter into any material amendment or reduce rent under any Major Lease, or amend any other Lease in a manner that would cause such Lease to deviate from the Leasing Guidelines, or (iv) unless the original Tenant remains liable under such Major Lease, consent to an assignment of a Tenant’s interest or to a subletting of any Major Lease, or (v) accept payment of advance rents (excluding security deposits) in an amount in excess of one (1) month’s rent under any Major Lease. The foregoing restrictions shall not be deemed to apply to agreements for specific events (as distinguished from agreements for continuous use and occupancy over a period of time).

(c) If any of the acts described in this Section 4.1.9 which require the written consent of Lender are done without such written consent, at the option of Lender they shall be of no force or effect with respect to the Lender and shall, following written notice to Borrower and Borrower’s failure to cure such breach within ten (10) Business Days, constitute an Event of Default.
(d) Except as otherwise permitted in Section 2.6, Borrower shall not, without the express written consent of Lender (which may be withheld in Lender’s sole discretion) enter into any purchase options with respect to the Property. For the avoidance of doubt, however, the foregoing shall not preclude Borrower from entering into a contract to sell the Property so long as the Loan is repaid in full in connection with the consummation of transactions described therein.
-56-
(e) Each Lease affecting the Property shall be absolutely subordinate to the lien of the Mortgage and shall also contain a provision, reasonably satisfactory to Lender, to the effect that in the event of the judicial or non-judicial foreclosure of the Property, at the election of the acquiring foreclosure purchaser, the particular Lease shall not be terminated and the Tenant shall attorn to the purchaser, and that if requested to do so, the Tenant shall enter into a new Lease for the balance of the term upon the same terms and conditions. Lender shall, if requested by Borrower in connection with a Tenant’s request for non-disturbance, enter into a subordination, non-disturbance and attornment agreement with any Tenant of commercial space at the Property under a Major Lease which has been approved by Lender, on Lender’s then current form with any Tenant; provided that: (i) Borrower shall cooperate with Lender in obtaining any necessary information from or regarding Tenant to comply with Legal Requirements (including, without limitation, any Prescribed Laws), (ii) Borrower shall pay Lender’s actual out-of-pocket costs and expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees) in connection with such subordination, non-disturbance and attornment agreement, and (iii) any such Tenant shall be required to make representations and warranties corresponding to the representations and warranties in Section 3.1.41 hereof and, if requested by Lender, provide such additional information as may be requested to evidence compliance.

Lender will be provided reasonable evidence of Borrower’s compliance with this Section within ten (10) days after written request.

-57-
(h) Any requests for Lender's approval of a Lease or Lease amendment or other matter with respect to which Lender’s approval is required in accordance with this Section 4.1.9 shall be made in writing and shall include (i) a cover letter which states at the top of the letter in bold, capitalized letters the following: “PLEASE TAKE NOTICE. THIS IS A REQUEST FOR APPROVAL OF A LEASE [OR LEASE AMENDMENT] [OR OTHER MATTER/SPECIFY] FOR THE LOAN SECURED BY THE JW MARRIOTT ESSEX HOUSE HOTEL IN NEW YORK, NEW YORK. YOU HAVE TEN (10) DAYS FROM THE DATE YOU RECEIVE THIS LETTER TO REVIEW AND APPROVE THE ACCOMPANYING LEASE [OR LEASE AMENDMENT] [OR OTHER MATTER/SPECIFY]. IF YOU DO NOT RESPOND WITHIN SUCH TEN (10) DAYS, YOU MAY BE DEEMED TO HAVE APPROVED THE LEASE [OR LEASE AMENDMENT] [OR OTHER MATTER/SPECIFY]”, and (x) a copy of the proposed Lease or Lease amendment or documentation evidencing such other matter, along with such other information as may be reasonably necessary to evaluate Borrower’s request. Lender shall approve or disapprove such submitted Lease or Lease amendment within ten (10) days after receipt by Lender of such request and related documentation. If Lender shall fail to disapprove of any such submitted Lease or Lease amendment for which Lender's approval has been requested within such ten (10) day period, Borrower shall submit a second notice in writing to Lender (“Borrower’s Second Notice”) which shall include (y) a cover letter which states at the top of the letter in bold, capitalized letters the following: “PLEASE TAKE NOTICE.

If Lender shall fail to disapprove of any such submitted Lease or Lease amendment or other matter for which Lender’s approval has been requested within such five (5) day period, Lender shall be conclusively deemed to have approved such submitted Lease or Lease amendment or other matter, provided, however, any deemed approval of Lender to a submitted Lease or Lease amendment or other matter shall be effective only if such Lease or Lease amendment or agreement reflecting such other matter is signed by both Borrower as landlord and the applicable tenant, (or, if such other matter is not the subject of such an agreement, such other matter is effected) within thirty (30) days of the date of the Borrower’s Second Notice and such Lease or Lease amendment is made, or such other matter is effected, on terms that in all material respects are the same as were contained in the Lease or Lease amendment or documentation regarding such other matter submitted with Borrower’s Second Notice. Any deemed approval of Lender to a submitted Lease or Lease amendment or other matter shall not constitute Lender’s consent to any provision of such submitted Lease or Lease amendment or agreement reflecting such other matter and such deemed approval shall not obligate Lender to take any further action relating to such Lease or Lease amendment or other matter, including but not limited to issuing a subordination, nondisturbance and attornment agreement.

4.1.10 Alterations. Lender’s prior approval (not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed) shall be required in connection with any alterations to any Improvements (except for (i) tenant improvements under any Lease approved or deemed approved by Lender, or under any Lease for which approval was not required by Lender under this Agreement or under any Lease entered into before the date hereof, or (ii) alterations and Improvements required pursuant to the Hotel Management Agreement or any other Operational Document) (a) that include alteration to the structural elements or major mechanical systems of the Improvements, or (b) the cost of which (including any related alteration, improvement or replacement, but excluding moveable personal property) is reasonably anticipated to exceed the Alteration Threshold; provided that for purposes of this clause (b) each separate project simultaneously in progress shall be separately (and not in the aggregate) tested against the Alteration Threshold (e.g., work on rooms and work on pools would be considered separate projects, even if contained in the same construction contract with the same general contractor). Notwithstanding the foregoing, Borrower may make emergency repairs as necessary without Lender’s prior approval, but with prompt notice to Lender thereafter.

4.1.15 Operating Lease.
(a) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, including in Section 4.2.6, Borrower will not modify, amend or replace the Operating Lease without Lender’s prior written consent which consent, if required pursuant to Section 2.6, shall be governed by the terms of Section 2.6. Borrower does hereby fully and completely in all respects subordinate the Operating Lease and all rights of any and all Borrower Parties thereunder to all rights of Lender under the Loan Documents. Without limitation, all rights of payment under the Operating Lease are hereby subordinated to Lender’s rights to receive payments under the Loan Documents, and the priority of the Operating Lease is hereby subordinated to the lien of the Mortgage. If the Mortgage is foreclosed, whether judicially or by power of sale, or if Borrower delivers a deed in lieu of foreclosure, then the Operating Lease and all of the rights of the Borrower Parties thereunder shall be completely and forever extinguished.
(b) Notwithstanding clause (a) above, Borrower shall be entitled to amend the Operating Lease as necessary to comply with tax laws and preserve the real estate investment trust status of any constituent member of Borrower, including, without limitation, to adjust the term and the operating rent payable thereunder; provided, however, that, in each case, (a) the representations set forth in Section 3.1.16 shall not be rendered untrue by virtue of any adjustment to the operating rent payable thereunder, and (b) not later than ten (10) Business Days prior to the execution and delivery thereof, Borrower shall deliver to Lender a copy of the proposed amendment thereto.

(d) Borrower shall promptly notify Agent of the receipt of any written notice by any Condominium Association or other Person under any Condominium Documents to Borrower or after Borrower’s discovery of (i) any default by Borrower in the performance or observance of any of the material terms, covenants or conditions of any Condominium Documents on the part of Borrower to be performed or observed, (ii) any notice requiring the performance of any material act by Borrower with respect to any obligation of Borrower under any Condominium Documents (e.g., notice of imposition of “special” Condominium Assessments), and, in each such case, deliver to Lender a true, correct and complete copy of each such notice, or (iii) any pending or threatened litigation affecting any Condominium Association or the Condominium Documents.
(e) If the Condominium Documents provide for a “mortgagee representative” (or equivalent thereto), then Lender shall be named in the Condominium Documents as such mortgagee representative for so long as the Loan is outstanding and shall give notice to the Condominium Association and any other Persons as necessary for Lender to be recognized as a mortgagee under the Condominium Documents.
(f) Borrower agrees that upon an Event of Default, Lender in its sole discretion may, but shall not be obligated to, perform any act, employ any Person, and cast any vote on behalf of Borrower pursuant to the Condominium Documents (and Borrower shall, upon request from Lender, promptly deliver to Lender such documents and instruments as Lender may require to evidence its authority concerning the same). During the continuance of an Event of Default, Borrower shall not exercise any material approval, consent or voting right to which it is entitled under the Condominium Documents without obtaining Lender’s prior written consent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed).

In furtherance of the foregoing, Borrower shall promptly notify Lender if Borrower has the right to appoint a replacement officer and/or director to the Condominium Association or a director is elected who is eligible because such director is a person authorized to act on behalf of Borrower, and such replacement officer and/or director shall execute and deliver to Agent the documents contemplated pursuant to this clause (g).
(h) Borrower shall pay all costs and expenses incurred by Lender in connection with the Condominium Documents (including costs and expenses associated with conducting any investigations, reviews, valuations or searches which Lender shall deem necessary in its sole discretion), obtaining updated title insurance and the preparation and review of any documents and/or modifications or amendments to any of the Loan Documents which Lender or its attorneys shall deem necessary, including reasonable costs and expenses incurred by Lender in connection with any review of the Condominium Documents.
(i) If Borrower shall default in the performance or observance of any material term, covenant or condition of the Condominium Documents on the part of Borrower to be performed or observed (and has failed to timely commence and/or is not diligently prosecuting the cure of such default within any applicable notice and/or cure periods provided in the applicable Condominium Documents), then, without limiting the generality of the other provisions of the Mortgage, this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and without waiving or releasing Borrower from any of its obligations hereunder, Lender shall have the right, but shall be under no obligation, to pay any sums and to perform any act or take any action as may be necessary to cause all of the material terms, covenants and conditions of the applicable Condominium Documents on the part of Borrower to be performed or observed or to be promptly performed or observed on behalf of Borrower, to ensure that the rights of Borrower and Lender in, to and under the Condominium Documents shall be kept unimpaired as a result thereof and free from default, even though the existence of such event of default or the nature thereof be questioned or denied by Borrower or by any party on behalf of Borrower. In any such event, Lender and any Person designated as Lender’s agent by Lender shall have, and are hereby granted, to the extent permitted by Legal Requirements, the right to enter upon the Property at any time with prior notice (which may be given verbally if such entrance is due to an emergency relating to the Property, to remedy any imminent danger on or to the Property or in order to investigate and cure an Event of Default hereunder) and from time to time for the purpose of taking any such action to cause all such terms, covenants and conditions to be performed. Lender may pay and expend such sums of money as Lender deems necessary for any such purpose. Borrower hereby agrees to pay to Lender promptly upon demand, all such sums so paid and expended by Lender, together with interest thereon from the day on which Borrower receives such demand until paid at the Default Rate. All sums so paid and expended by Lender and the interest thereon shall be secured by the legal operation and effect of the Mortgage.

The amount of such insurance shall be increased from time to time during the term of the Loan as and when any Leases are entered into and rents payable increase, or the annual estimate of gross income from occupancy of the Property otherwise increases, to reflect such increases in income.
(iv) If Lender determines at any time that any part of the physical structure/building is located in an area identified on a Flood Hazard Boundary Map or Flood Insurance Rate Map issued by the Federal Emergency Management Agency as having special flood hazards and flood insurance has been made available, Borrower will maintain a flood insurance policy on that physical structure/building meeting the requirements of the current guidelines of the Federal Insurance Administration with a generally acceptable insurance carrier, in an amount not less than the maximum amount of insurance which is available under the National Flood Insurance Act of 1968, the Flood Disaster Protection Act of 1973, or the National Flood Insurance Reform Act of 1994, as amended.

Additionally, Borrower shall maintain Employment Practices liability insurance applicable to all employees employed by any Manager with respect to the Property, in a policy amount of $1,000,000 in the aggregate. If a third party Manager is the statutory employer, evidence of such insurance may be provided for Worker’s Compensation and Employment Practices liability by such Manager on behalf of Borrower.

(ix) Commercial Automobile Insurance with a combined single limit of not less than $1,000,000 per accident for bodily injury and property damage arising out of the use of owned, non-owned, hired and/or leased automotive equipment when such equipment is operated by Borrower, Borrower’s employees or Borrower’s agents in connection with the Property.

So called “Cut-through” endorsements shall not be permitted. Upon request by Lender, Borrower shall deliver evidence satisfactory to Lender of payment of premiums due under the insurance policies.
(c) Certified copies of the policies, and any endorsements, shall be made available for inspection by Lender upon request. If at any time Lender is not in receipt of written evidence that all insurance required hereunder is in full force and effect including, without limitation, if any policy is canceled before the Loan is satisfied), Lender shall have the right (but shall have no obligation), with notice to Borrower, to take such action as Lender deems necessary to protect its interest in the Property, including, without limitation, the obtaining of such insurance coverage as Lender in its sole discretion deems appropriate and 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 Mortgage and shall bear interest at the Default Rate.
(d) Borrower shall be required during the term of the Loan to continue to provide Lender with original renewal policies or replacements of the insurance policies referenced in Section 5.1.1(a), and shall deliver to Lender evidence of such replacement or renewal prior to the expiration of the prior policies. Lender may accept Certificates of Insurance, if satisfactory to Lender in its sole discretion, evidencing insurance policies referenced in Section 5.1.1 instead of requiring the actual policies. In the event Lender accepts an insurance binder as evidence of insurance, an insurance policy or certificate, satisfactory to Lender must be submitted to Lender at least 10 days prior to the expiration date of the binder, or as soon as practically available. The failure of Borrower to maintain the insurance required under this Section 5.1 shall not constitute a waiver of Borrower’s obligation to fulfill these requirements.

-71-
5.1.2 Adjustment of Claims. Borrower and Lender shall jointly settle, adjust, or compromise any claims for damage to, or loss or destruction of, all or a portion of the Property, regardless of whether there are insurance proceeds available or whether any such insurance proceeds are sufficient in amount to fully compensate for such damage, loss, or destruction; provided that Lender shall not be entitled to participate in such settlement, adjustment or compromise of any claims below the Restoration Threshold.

Notwithstanding the foregoing to the extent the insurance requirements in this Section 5.1 are satisfied using a blanket policy then in the event of the foreclosure of this Mortgage or other transfer of the title to the Property in extinguishment of the Debt, all right, title and interest of Lender in and to any premiums or payments in satisfaction of claims or any other rights under such insurance policy(ies) relating to the Property shall pass to the transferee of the Property.

Upon Borrower’s satisfaction and completion of the Requirements For Restoration and upon confirmation that there is no Event of Default then existing, Lender shall pay any remaining Restoration Funds (as defined in Section 5.2.3 below) then held by Lender to Borrower.
(e) In the event that the conditions for Restoration set forth in this Section have not been met, Lender may, at its option, apply the Net Insurance Proceeds to the reduction of the Debt in such order as Lender may determine. After payment in full of the Debt, any remaining Restoration Funds shall be paid to Borrower.
5.2.2 Condemnation.
(a) If the Property or any part of the Property is taken by reason of any Condemnation, Lender shall be entitled to all compensation, awards, damages, proceeds and payments or relief for the Condemnation (“Condemnation Proceeds”) as additional Collateral, and to receive and apply such Condemnation Proceeds as and when provided hereunder. At its option, Lender shall be entitled to commence, appear in and prosecute in its own name any action or proceeding or to make any compromise or settlement in connection with such Condemnation. Borrower hereby irrevocably constitutes and appoints Lender as its attorney in fact, which appointment is coupled with an interest, to commence, appear in and prosecute any action or proceeding or to make any compromise or settlement in connection with any such Condemnation.
(b) Borrower collaterally assigns to Lender all Condemnation Proceeds which Borrower is entitled to receive, and agrees to deliver to Lender such Insurance Proceeds as and when required hereunder for application in accordance herewith. In the event of any Condemnation, and provided (1) an Event of Default does not currently exist, and (2) Lender has determined that (i) there has not been an Impairment of the Security, and (ii) the Restoration of any portion of the Property that has not been taken can be accomplished in full compliance with all Legal Requirements to the same condition, character and general utility as nearly as possible to that existing prior to the taking and at least equal in value as that existing prior to the taking, then Borrower shall commence and diligently pursue to completion the Restoration. Lender shall hold and disburse the Condemnation Proceeds less the actual out-of-pocket costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) to Lender of recovering the Condemnation Proceeds including, without limitation, adjusters’ fees (the “Net Condemnation Proceeds”) to the Restoration; provided that, if the requirements for application of Condemnation Proceeds to Restoration have been met and Lender reasonably estimates the cost of Restoration to be equal to or less than the Restoration Threshold, Borrower shall be entitled to hold any Restoration Funds and shall apply the same to the Restoration.
-73-
(c) In the event the Net Condemnation Proceeds are to be used for the Restoration, and Lender reasonably estimates the cost of Restoration to exceed the Restoration Threshold, Borrower shall comply with Lender’s Requirements For Restoration as set forth in Section 5.2.3 below. Upon Borrower’s satisfaction and completion of the Requirements For Restoration and upon confirmation that there is no Event of Default then existing, Lender shall pay any remaining Restoration Funds (as defined in Section 5.2.3 below) then held by Lender to Borrower.

Borrower shall, at Lender’s sole cost and expense, also furnish to such Investors or such prospective Investors any and all information concerning the Property, the Leases, the financial condition of Borrower or any Guarantor, as may be reasonably requested by Lender, any Investor or any prospective Investor in connection with any sale, transfer or participation interest to the extent such information is in Borrower’s possession. Lender shall use reasonable efforts to request that such Investors and prospective Investors treat such documents and information as confidential; provided, however Lender shall incur no liability for failure to do so or for such Investors’ or prospective Investors’ failure to comply. Borrower and Guarantor shall also provide estoppel certificates as required pursuant to Section 4.1.8.

-87-
Section 10.2 | Remedies. |
(a) Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, all or any one or more of the rights, powers, privileges and other remedies available to Lender against Borrower under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents executed and delivered by, or applicable to, Borrower or at law or in equity may be exercised by Lender at any time and from time to time, whether or not all or any of the Debt shall be declared due and payable, and whether or not Lender shall have commenced any foreclosure proceeding or other action for the enforcement of its rights and remedies under any of the Loan Documents with respect to the Property. Any such actions taken by Lender shall be cumulative and concurrent and may be pursued independently, singly, successively, together or otherwise, at such time and in such order as Lender may determine in its sole discretion, to the fullest extent permitted by law, without impairing or otherwise affecting the other rights and remedies of Lender permitted by law, equity or contract or as set forth herein or in the other Loan Documents. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, if an Event of Default is continuing, to the extent permitted by law, (i) Lender shall not be subject to any “one action” or “election of remedies” law or rule, and (ii) all liens and other rights, remedies or privileges provided to Lender shall remain in full force and effect until Lender has exhausted all of its remedies against the Property and the Mortgage has been foreclosed, sold and/or otherwise realized upon in satisfaction of the Debt or the Debt has been paid in full.
(b) Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, Lender shall have the right from time to time to partially foreclose the Mortgage in any manner and for any amounts secured by the Mortgage then due and payable as determined by Lender in its sole discretion including, without limitation, the following circumstances: (i) upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default for non-payment of one or more scheduled payments of principal and interest, Lender may foreclose the Mortgage to recover such delinquent payments, or (ii) in the event Lender elects to accelerate less than the entire outstanding principal balance of the Loan, Lender may foreclose the Mortgage to recover so much of the principal balance of the Loan as Lender may accelerate and such other sums secured by the Mortgage as Lender may elect. Notwithstanding one or more partial foreclosures, the Property shall remain subject to the Mortgage as reduced and modified following any such partial foreclosure to secure payment of sums secured by the Mortgage and not previously recovered.
(c) Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, Lender shall have the right from time to time to sever the Note and the other Loan Documents into one or more separate notes, mortgages and other security documents (the “Severed Loan Documents”) in such denominations and priority as Lender shall determine in its sole discretion for purposes of evidencing and enforcing its rights and remedies provided hereunder. Borrower shall execute and deliver to Lender from time to time, promptly after the written request of Lender, a severance agreement and such other documents as Lender shall request in order to effect the severance described in the preceding sentence, all in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Lender. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, Borrower hereby absolutely and irrevocably appoints Lender as its true and lawful attorney, coupled with an interest, in its name and stead to make and execute all documents necessary or desirable to effect the aforesaid severance, Borrower ratifying all that its said attorney shall do by virtue thereof.
(d) Any amounts recovered from the Property or any other collateral for the Loan following the occurrence of an Event of Default may be applied by Lender toward the payment of any interest and/or principal of the Loan and/or any other amounts due under the Loan Documents in such order, priority and proportions as Lender in its sole discretion shall determine.
-88-
(e) During the continuance of an Event of Default, Borrower shall make no further distributions to its partners, members or shareholders, as applicable.
Section 10.3 | Right to Cure Defaults. Lender may, but without any obligation to do so and without notice to or demand on Borrower and without releasing Borrower from any obligation hereunder or being deemed to have cured any Event of Default hereunder, make, do or perform any obligation of Borrower hereunder in such manner and to such extent as Lender may deem necessary, including, without limitation, pursuant to Section 7.2 hereof. Lender is authorized to enter upon the Property for such purposes, or appear in, defend, or bring any action or proceeding to protect its interest in the Property for such purposes, and the cost and expense thereof (including reasonable attorneys’ fees to the extent permitted by law), with interest as provided in this Section 10.3, shall constitute a portion of the Debt and shall be due and payable to Lender upon demand. All such actual out-of-pocket costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) incurred by Lender in remedying such Event of Default or such failed payment or act or in appearing in, defending, or bringing any action or proceeding shall bear interest at the Default Rate, for the period after such cost or expense was incurred to the date of payment to Lender. All such costs and expenses incurred by Lender together with interest thereon calculated at the Default Rate shall be deemed to constitute a portion of the Debt and be secured by the liens, claims and security interests provided to Lender under the Loan Documents and shall be immediately due and payable upon demand by Lender therefor. |
Section 10.4 | Remedies Cumulative. The rights, powers and remedies of Lender under this Agreement shall be cumulative and not exclusive of any other right, power or remedy which Lender may have against Borrower pursuant to this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, or existing at law or in equity or otherwise. Lender’s rights, powers and remedies may be pursued singly, concurrently or otherwise, at such time and in such order as Lender may determine in Lender’s sole discretion. No delay or omission to exercise any remedy, right or power accruing upon the occurrence and continuance of an Event of Default shall impair any such remedy, right or power or shall be construed as a waiver thereof, but any such remedy, right or power may be exercised from time to time and as often as may be deemed expedient. A waiver of one Default or Event of Default with respect to Borrower shall not be construed to be a waiver of any subsequent Default or Event of Default by Borrower or to impair any remedy, right or power consequent thereon. |
Section 10.5 | Duration of Events of Default. If any Event of Default shall occur (irrespective of whether or not the same consists of an ongoing condition, a one-time occurrence, or otherwise), the same shall be deemed to continue at all times thereafter; provided, however, that such Event of Default shall cease to continue only if Lender shall accept performance of the defaulted obligation or shall execute and deliver a written agreement in which Lender expressly states that such Event of Default has ceased to continue. Borrower shall have no right to cure any Event of Default, and Lender shall not be obligated under any circumstances whatsoever to accept such cure or performance or to execute and deliver any such writing. Without limitation, this Section shall govern in any case where reference is made in the Loan Documents, the Guaranty and/or the Environmental Indemnity Agreement to (i) any “cure” (whether by use of such word or otherwise) of any Event of Default, (ii) “during an Event of Default,” “the continuance of an Event of Default” or “after an Event of Default has ceased” (in each case, whether by use of such words or otherwise), or (iii) any condition or event which continues beyond the time when the same becomes an Event of Default. |
-89-
Section 10.6 | Power of Attorney. For the purpose of carrying out the provisions and exercising the rights, powers and privileges granted or described in Sections 10.2 and 10.3, Borrower hereby irrevocably constitutes and appoints the Lender its true and lawful attorney-in-fact upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, to execute, acknowledge and deliver any instruments and do and perform any acts such as are referred to in this subsection in the name and on behalf of Borrower. This power of attorney is a power coupled with an interest and cannot be revoked. |

Section 11.9 | Severability.

Section 11.10 | Preferences. Lender shall have the continuing and exclusive right to apply or reverse and reapply any and all payments by Borrower to any portion of the obligations of Borrower hereunder.

-93-
Section 11.11 | Waiver of Notice. Borrower shall not be entitled to any notices of any nature whatsoever from Lender except with respect to matters for which this Agreement or the other Loan Documents or the Environmental Indemnity specifically and expressly provide for the giving of notice by Lender to Borrower and except with respect to matters for which Borrower is not, pursuant to applicable Legal Requirements, permitted to waive the giving of notice.

Lender shall not charge a processing fee (as distinguished from Borrower’s obligation to pay Lender’s out-of-pocket costs and expenses, the Extension Fee, or any other fee expressly provided for herein) for review and approval of interest rate cap renewals, Lease approvals, review of insurance policy renewals, review of Replacement Management Agreements, exercise of Extension Options, review of Material Equipment Leases, or review of Alterations.
(b) All payments made or funds expended or advanced by Lender after the Closing Date and pursuant to the provisions of any Loan Document shall (1) become part of the Debt, and be secured by the liens, claims and security interests provided to Lender under the Loan Documents, (2) (unless specified in the Loan Documents to bear interest at the Default Rate from the date such payments are made or funds expended or advanced,) shall bear interest from the date of expenditure or advancement at the Interest Rate, and shall bear interest at the Default Rate from the date of Lender’s demand for payment therefor, and (3) shall be immediately due and payable by Borrower upon demand by Lender.
-95-
(c) Borrower shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless Lender, its affiliates and its and their respective its officers, directors, agents, employees (and the successors and assigns of the foregoing) (the “Lender Indemnitees”) from and against any and all actual out-of-pocket liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, claims, costs, expenses and disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever (including, without limitation, the reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel for the Lender Indemnitees in connection with any investigative, administrative or judicial proceeding commenced or threatened, whether or not the Lender Indemnitees shall be designated a party thereto, but excluding punitive damages except to the extent that Lender Indemnitees have liability to third parties therefor), that may be imposed on, incurred by, or asserted against the Lender Indemnitees in any manner proximately relating to or proximately arising out of (i) any breach by Borrower of its obligations under, or any misrepresentation by Borrower contained in, this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, or (ii) the use or intended use of the proceeds of the Loan, or (iii) the ownership or operation of any Collateral, or (iv) the making of the Loan or the lien of the Loan Documents on any Collateral (collectively, the “Indemnified Liabilities”); provided, however, that Borrower shall not be liable for the payment of any such costs and expenses to the extent the same arise by reason of the active gross negligence, illegal acts, fraud or willful misconduct of Lender Indemnitees. To the extent that the undertaking to indemnify, defend and hold harmless set forth in the preceding sentence may be unenforceable because it violates any law or public policy, Borrower shall pay the maximum portion that it is permitted to pay and satisfy under applicable law to the payment and satisfaction of all Indemnified Liabilities incurred by the Lender Indemnitees.

-96-
(b) This Agreement and the other Loan Documents are solely for the benefit of Lender and nothing contained in this Agreement or the other Loan Documents shall be deemed to confer upon anyone other than Lender and Borrower any right to insist upon or to enforce the performance or observance of any of the obligations contained herein or therein. All conditions to the obligations of Lender to make the Loan hereunder are imposed solely and exclusively for the benefit of Lender and no other Person shall have standing to require satisfaction of such conditions in accordance with their terms or be entitled to assume that Lender will refuse to make the Loan in the absence of strict compliance with any or all thereof and no other Person shall under any circumstances be deemed to be a beneficiary of such conditions, any or all of which may be freely waived in whole or in part by Lender if, in Lender’s sole discretion, Lender deems it advisable or desirable to do so.
Section 11.17 | Publicity. All news releases, publicity or advertising by either party hereto or its Affiliates through any media intended to reach the general public which refers to the Loan Documents or the financing evidenced by the Loan Documents, to Lender, Borrower or any of their Affiliates other than any disclosure made pursuant to public filings with the Security Exchange Commission shall be subject to the prior approval of the other party hereto, such approval not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. |
Section 11.18 | Waiver of Marshalling of Assets. To the fullest extent permitted by law, Borrower, for itself and its successors and assigns, waives all rights to a marshalling of the assets of Borrower, Borrower’s partners and others with interests in Borrower, and of the Property, and shall not assert any right under any laws pertaining to the marshalling of assets, the sale in inverse order of alienation, homestead exemption, the administration of estates of decedents, or any other matters whatsoever to defeat, reduce or affect the right of Lender under the Loan Documents to a sale of the Property for the collection of the Debt without any prior or different resort for collection or of the right of Lender to the payment of the Debt out of the net proceeds of the Property in preference to every other claimant whatsoever. |
Section 11.19 | Waiver of Offsets/Defenses/Counterclaims; Consequential Damages. Borrower hereby waives the right to assert a counterclaim, other than a mandatory or compulsory counterclaim, in any action or proceeding brought against it by Lender or its agents or otherwise to offset any obligations to make the payments required by the Loan Documents. No failure by Lender to perform any of its obligations hereunder shall be a valid defense to, or result in any offset against, any payments which Borrower is obligated to make under any of the Loan Documents. Borrower further covenants and agrees that in no event shall Lender be liable for consequential damages, and to the fullest extent permitted by law, Borrower expressly waives all existing and future claims that it may have against Lender for consequential damages. |
-97-
Section 11.20 | Conflict; Construction of Documents; Reliance. In the event of any conflict between the provisions of this Agreement and any of the other Loan Documents or the Environmental Indemnity or the Guaranty, the provisions of this Agreement shall control. The parties hereto acknowledge that they were represented by competent counsel in connection with the negotiation, drafting and execution of the Loan Documents and the Environmental Indemnity and the Guaranty and that such Loan Documents and Environmental Indemnity and Guaranty shall not be subject to the principle of construing their meaning against the party which drafted same. Borrower acknowledges that, with respect to the Loan, Borrower shall rely solely on its own judgment and advisors in entering into the Loan without relying in any manner on any statements, representations or recommendations of Lender or any parent, subsidiary or Affiliate of Lender. Lender shall not be subject to any limitation whatsoever in the exercise of any rights or remedies available to it under any of the Loan Documents, the Environmental Indemnity, the Guaranty, or any other agreements or instruments which govern the Loan by virtue of the ownership by it or any parent, subsidiary or Affiliate of Lender of any equity interest any of them may acquire in Borrower, and Borrower hereby irrevocably waives the right to raise any defense or take any action on the basis of the foregoing with respect to Lender’s exercise of any such rights or remedies. Borrower acknowledges that Lender and its affiliates engage in the business of real estate financings and other real estate transactions and investments which may be viewed as adverse to or competitive with the business of Borrower or its Affiliates. |
Section 11.21 | Brokers and Financial Advisors. Borrower hereby represents that it has dealt with no financial advisors, brokers, underwriters, placement agents, agents or finders in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement other than Xxxxx Xxxx LaSalle (“Broker”), and Borrower shall be solely responsible for payment of all commissions, finder’s fees or similar amounts due and payable to Broker pursuant to the terms of their separate agreement, all of which commissions, finder’s fees or similar amounts shall be paid to Broker by Borrower on the Closing Date. Borrower shall indemnify, defend and hold Lender harmless from and against any and all claims, liabilities, and actual out-of-pocket costs and expenses of any kind (including reasonable attorneys’ fees)in any way relating to or arising from a claim by any Person (including Broker) that such Person acted on behalf of Borrower or Lender in connection with the transactions contemplated herein. The provisions of this Section 11.21 shall survive the expiration and termination of this Agreement and the payment of the Debt. Borrower acknowledges that Lender may have been involved in other transactions with Broker, and Borrower agrees that it shall have no rights against Lender or defenses to Borrower’s obligations under the Loan Documents due to any such relationship. |

(viii) to recover damages, costs and expenses arising from, or in connection with, the failure by Borrower to pay Taxes and Insurance Premiums when due to the extent that Borrower was not required to deposit such amounts with Lender pursuant to Section 6 hereof, but only to the extent there was available revenue from the Property for the period in question sufficient to pay such Taxes and Insurance Premiums, and provided further that Lender does not prevent such proceeds from being so applied;
(ix) to recover damages, costs and expenses arising from the failure of the representations set forth in Section 3.1.8 to be true or Borrower’s failure to comply with the provisions of Sections 4.2.11 of this Agreement; and

(d) Unless otherwise instructed by Lender, Borrower shall have the right to rely on any notices, demands, documents or other instruments which Borrower receives from Servicer.
Section 11.25 | Joint and Several Liability. If more than one Person has executed this Agreement as “Borrower,” the representations, covenants, warranties and obligations of all such Persons hereunder shall be joint and several; provided, however, that Lender hereby acknowledges and agrees that Operating Tenant shall not be personally liable for the indebtedness evidenced by the Note. |

Section 11.27 | Creation of Security Interest. Notwithstanding any other provision set forth in this Agreement, the Note, the Mortgage or any of the other Loan Documents, Lender may at any time create a security interest in all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement, the Note, the Mortgage and any other Loan Document (including, without limitation, the advances owing to it) in favor of any Federal Reserve Bank in accordance with Regulation A of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System. |
-101-
Section 11.28 | Multiple Parties Provisions; Joint and Several Liability. |
(a) All obligations of each Borrower executing this Agreement or any other Loan Documents shall be the joint and several obligations of each and all of them. Joint and several liability shall apply, notwithstanding that an obligation may be expressed in any of the Loan Documents as if it were the obligation of one or fewer than all of the entities comprising Borrower. Accordingly, breach of any obligation of any Borrower shall constitute a breach by all of them.
(b) Funds advanced by Lender to or at the direction of any Borrower or Borrower Party shall be deemed advanced to or for the benefit of each Borrower.
(c) Any notice delivered to any Borrower Party shall be binding on all of them as if delivered to all of them.

(e) Lender shall be entitled to rely on any Person reasonably believed by Lender to be acting on behalf of any Borrower, and each Borrower shall be bound by any such reliance.
Section 11.29 | Waivers of Defenses of Guarantors and Sureties. To the extent that any Borrower (in this Section, a “Waiving Party”) is deemed for any reason to be a guarantor or surety of or for any other Borrower or to have rights or obligations in the nature of the rights or obligations of a guarantor or surety (whether by reason of execution of a guaranty, provision of security for the obligations of another, or otherwise) then this Section shall apply. This Section shall not affect the rights of the Waiving Party other than to waive or limit rights and defenses that Waiving Party would have (i) in its capacity as a guarantor or surety or (ii) in its capacity as one having rights or obligations in the nature of a guarantor or surety. Waiving Party, in the broadest and most comprehensive sense, hereby waives any and all claims, rights, or defenses that may be asserted by a guarantor or surety against a creditor. Without limitation of the foregoing: |
(a) Waiving Party hereby waives diligence, presentment, demand of payment, filing of claims with a court in the event of receivership or bankruptcy of any of the other Borrower Parties, protest or notice with respect to any of the obligations of any of the other Borrower Parties, setoffs and counterclaims and all presentments, demands for performance, notices of nonperformance, protests, notices of protest, notices of dishonor and notices of acceptance, the benefits of all statutes of limitation, and all other demands whatsoever (and shall not require that the same be made on any of the other Borrower Parties as a condition precedent to the obligations of Waiving Party), and covenants that the Loan Documents will not be discharged, except by complete payment and performance of the obligations evidenced and secured thereby, except only as limited by the express contractual provisions of the Loan Documents. Waiving Party further waives all notices that the principal amount, or any portion thereof, and/or any interest on any instrument or document evidencing all or any part of the obligations of any of the other Borrower Parties to Lender is due, notices of any and all proceedings to collect from any of the other Borrower Parties or any endorser or any other guarantor of all or any part of their obligations, or from any other person or entity, and, to the extent permitted by law, notices of exchange, sale, surrender or other handling of any security or collateral given to Lender to secure payment of all or any part of the obligations of any of the other Borrower Parties.
-102-
(b) Except only to the extent provided otherwise in the express contractual provisions of the Loan Documents, Waiving Party hereby agrees that all of its obligations under the Loan Documents shall remain in full force and effect, without defense, offset or counterclaim of any kind, notwithstanding that any right of Waiving Party against any of the other Borrower Parties or defense of Waiving Party against Lender may be impaired, destroyed, or otherwise affected by reason of any action or inaction on the part of Lender. Waiving Party waives all rights and defenses arising out of an election of remedies by the Lender, even though that election of remedies, may have destroyed the Waiving Party’s rights of subrogation and reimbursement against the other Borrower Parties.
(c) Lender is hereby authorized, without notice or demand, from time to time, (a) to renew, extend, accelerate or otherwise change the time for payment of, or other terms relating to, all or any part of the obligations of any of the other Borrower Parties; (b) to accept partial payments on all or any part of the obligations of any of the other Borrower Parties; (c) to take and hold security or collateral for the payment of all or any part of the obligations of any of the other Borrower Parties; (d) to exchange, enforce, waive and release any such security or collateral for such obligations; (e) to apply such security or collateral and direct the order or manner of sale thereof as in its discretion it may determine; (f) to settle, release, exchange, enforce, waive, compromise or collect or otherwise liquidate all or any part of such obligations and any security or collateral for such obligations. Any of the foregoing may be done in any manner, and Waiving Party agrees that the same shall not affect or impair the obligations of Waiving Party under the Loan Documents.
(d) Waiving Party hereby assumes responsibility for keeping itself informed of the financial condition of all of the other Borrower Parties and any and all endorsers and/or other guarantors of all or any part of the obligations of the other Borrower Parties, and of all other circumstances bearing upon the risk of nonpayment of such obligations, and Waiving Party hereby agrees that Lender shall have no duty to advise Waiving Party of information known to it regarding such condition or any such circumstances.
Section 11.30 | Additional Agreements. |
(a) Each Borrower agrees that neither Lender nor any person or entity acting for or on behalf of Lender shall be under any obligation to marshal any assets in favor of Borrower or against or in payment of any or all of the obligations owing at any time by any of the Borrower Parties to Lender. Each Borrower further agrees that, to the extent that any of the other Borrower Parties or any other guarantor of all or any part of the obligations of the other Borrower Parties makes a payment or payments to Lender, or Lender receives any proceeds of collateral for any of the obligations of the other Borrower Parties, which payment or payments or any part thereof are subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside and/or required to be repaid or refunded, then, to the extent of such payment or repayment, the part of such obligations which has been paid, reduced or satisfied by such amount shall be reinstated and continued in full force and effect as of the time immediately preceding such initial payment, reduction or satisfaction.
(b) No Borrower shall any have right of subrogation with respect to the obligations of the other Borrower Parties. Each Borrower (i) waives any right to enforce any remedy that Lender now has or may hereafter have against any of the other Borrower Parties any endorser or any guarantor of all or any part of such obligations or any other person; and (ii) waives any benefit of, and any right to participate in, any security or collateral given to Lender to secure the payment or performance of all or any part of such obligations or any other liability of the other parties to Lender.
-103-
(c) Each Borrower agrees that any and all claims that it may have against any of the other Borrower Parties, any endorser or any other guarantor of all or any part of the obligations of the other Borrower Parties, or against any of their respective properties, shall be subordinate and subject in right of payment to the prior payment in full of all obligations owing at any time by any of the Borrower Parties to Lender. Notwithstanding any right of such Borrower to ask, demand, xxx for, take or receive any payment from the other Borrower Parties, all rights, liens and security interests of such Borrower, whether now or hereafter arising and howsoever existing, in any assets of any of the other Borrower Parties (whether constituting part of the security or collateral given to Lender to secure payment of all or any part of the obligations of the other Borrower Parties or otherwise) shall be and hereby are subordinated to the rights of Lender in those assets.
