Together with each such request, Borrowers shall furnish Lender with copies of bills and other documentation as may be reasonably required by Lender to establish that such Basic Carrying Cost payment is then due. Lender shall be entitled to conclusively rely on all bills or other documentation received from any Borrower, in each case without independent investigation or verification. Lender shall make such payments out of the Basic Carrying Cost Sub-Account before the same shall be delinquent to the extent that there are funds available in the Basic Carrying Cost Sub-Account and Lender has received appropriate documentation to establish the amount(s) due and the due date(s) as and when provided above.

(y) Except to the extent that Lender is obligated to pay Basic Carrying Costs from the Basic Carrying Costs Sub-Account pursuant to the terms of this Section, Borrowers shall pay or shall cause payment of all Basic Carrying Costs with respect to itself and the Individual Properties in accordance with the provisions of the Mortgages. Borrowers’ obligation to pay or to cause payment (or to enable Lender to pay) Basic Carrying Costs pursuant to this Agreement shall include, to the extent permitted by applicable law, Impositions resulting from future changes in law which impose upon Lender or any Deed of Trust Trustee an obligation to pay any property taxes or other Impositions or which otherwise adversely affect Lender’s or the Deed of Trust Trustee’s interests. (In the event such a change in law prohibits any Borrower from assuming liability for payment of any such Imposition, the outstanding Indebtedness shall, at the option of Lender, become due and payable on the date that is one hundred twenty (120) days after such change in law; and failure to pay such amounts on the date due shall be an Event of Default.) If an Event of Default has occurred, the proceeds on deposit in the Basic Carrying Costs Sub-Account may be applied by Lender in any manner as Lender in its discretion may determine.

At all times after such Payment Date Lender may, at its option, transfer amounts in the Debt Service Payment Sub-Account to Lender’s own account, provided that Borrowers shall receive credit against the Required Debt Service Payment in the amounts so transferred to Lender such that in any given Current Interest Accrual Period Borrowers shall not be required to deposit into the Debt Service Payment Sub-Account any amounts in excess of the aggregate amount of the Required Debt Service Payment for such Current Interest Accrual Period.

Together with each such request, Borrowers shall furnish Lender or cause to be furnished to Lender copies of bills and other documentation as may be

reasonably required by Lender to establish that such Capital Improvement Costs are reasonable (provided such Capital Improvement Costs shall be deemed reasonable if such Capital Improvement Costs are reflected in the Approved Budget), that the work relating thereto has been completed and that such amounts are then due or have been paid. Lender shall approve or disapprove such request, within ten (10) Business Days after Lender’s receipt of such request, provided such request shall be deemed approved if no response is received from Lender within twenty (20) Business Days after Lender’s receipt of such request and related documentation, and, if approved or deemed approved, Lender shall release the funds to each applicable Borrower or such Borrower’s designee within ten (10) Business Days after Lender’s approval.

Beyond the exercise of reasonable care in the custody thereof, Lender shall not have any duty as to any Account Collateral or any income thereon in Lender’s possession or control or in the possession or control of any agents for, or of Lender, or the preservation of rights against any Person or otherwise with respect thereto.

Section 2.13. Secondary Market Transactions.

(a) Each Borrower hereby acknowledges that Lender may in one or more transactions (i) sell or securitize the Loan or portions thereof in one or more transactions through the issuance of securities, which securities may be rated by one or more of the Rating Agencies, (ii) sell or otherwise transfer the Loan or any portion thereof one or more times, (iii)

sell participation interests (including without limitation, senior and subordinate participation interests) in the Loan one or more times, (iv) re-securitize the securities issued in connection with any securitization, or (v) further divide the Loan into more separate notes, loans or components or change the principal balances (but not increase the aggregate principal balance) or interest rates of the Notes (including, without limitation, senior and subordinate notes or components) (the transactions referred to in clauses (i) through (v), each a “Secondary Market Transaction” and collectively “Secondary Market Transactions”).

Each applicable Borrower and Operating Lessee is not in default in any material respect in the performance, observance or fulfillment of any of the obligations, covenants or conditions contained in any indenture, agreement or instrument to which it is a party or by which such Borrower, Operating Lessee or the applicable Individual Property is bound which could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

No Borrower is in default or violation of any order, writ, injunction, decree or demand of any Governmental Authority, the violation of which is reasonably likely to have a Material Adverse Effect.

(J) Other Debt and Obligations. No Borrower or Operating Lessee has any financial obligation under any indenture, mortgage, deed of trust, loan agreement or other agreement or instrument to which any Borrower or Operating Lessee is a party, or by which Borrower, Operating Lessee or any Individual Property is bound, other than (a) unsecured trade payables incurred in the ordinary course of business relating to the ownership and operation of an Individual Property which are not evidenced by a promissory note and when aggregated with the unsecured trade payables of all other Borrowers and Operating Lessee, do not exceed a maximum amount of two and one-half percent (2.5%) of the Loan Amount and are paid within sixty (60) days of the date incurred (unless same are being contested in accordance with the terms of this Agreement), and (b) obligations under the Mortgage and the other Loan Documents. No Borrower or Operating Lessee has borrowed or received other debt financing that has not been heretofore repaid in full and no Borrower has any known material contingent liabilities.

(b) As of the date hereof and throughout the term of the Loan (a) no Borrower or Operating Lessee is or will be an “employee benefit plan,” as defined in Section 3(3) of ERISA, subject to Title I of ERISA, or a “plan,” as defined in Section 4975(e)(1) of the Code, subject to Code Section 4975, (b) no Borrower or Operating Lessee is or will be a “governmental plan” within the meaning of Section 3(32) of ERISA, (c) none of the assets of any Borrower or Operating Lessee constitutes or will constitute “plan assets” of one or more of any such plans under 29 C.F.R. Section 2510.3-101 or otherwise, and (d) transactions by or with each Borrower or Operating Lessee do not and will not violate state statutes regulating investment of, and fiduciary obligations with respect to, governmental plans and such state statutes do not in any manner affect the ability of the Borrower or Operating Lessee to perform its obligations under the Loan Documents or the ability of Lender to enforce any and all of its rights under the Loan Agreement.

(L) Solvency. No Borrower or Operating Lessee has entered into this Loan Agreement or any Loan Document with the actual intent to hinder, delay, or defraud any creditor, and each Borrower and Operating Lessee has received reasonably equivalent value in exchange for its obligations under the Loan Documents. Giving effect to the transactions contemplated hereby and the agreements set forth herein, the fair saleable value of each of Borrower’s and Operating Lessee’s assets exceeds and will, immediately following the execution and delivery of this Agreement, exceed such Borrower’s or Operating Lessee’s, as applicable, total liabilities, including, without limitation, subordinated, unliquidated, or disputed liabilities or Contingent Obligations. The fair saleable value of each Borrower’s or Operating Lessee’s assets is and will, immediately following the execution and delivery of this Agreement, be greater than such Borrower’s or Operating Lessee’s, as applicable, probable liabilities, including the maximum amount of its Contingent Obligations or its debts as such debts become absolute and matured. No Borrower’s or Operating Lessee’s assets do and, immediately following the execution and delivery of this Agreement, will, constitute unreasonably small capital to carry out its business as conducted or as proposed to be conducted. No Borrower or Operating Lessee intends to, or believes that it will, incur debts and liabilities (including, without limitation, Contingent Obligations and other commitments) beyond its ability to pay such debts as they mature (taking into account the timing and amounts to be payable on or in respect of obligations of each Borrower).

There are no outstanding options to purchase or rights of first refusal affecting any Individual Property. The Permitted Encumbrances do not and are not likely to materially and adversely affect (i) the ability of any Borrower to pay in full all sums due under the Notes or any of its other obligations in a timely manner or (ii) the use of any Individual Property for the use currently being made thereof, the operation of such Individual Property as currently being operated or the value of any Individual Property.

The Loan Documents executed by each applicable Borrower or Operating Lessee in connection with the Loan are the legal, valid and binding obligations of each such Borrower or Operating Lessee, enforceable against each such Borrower or Operating Lessee in accordance with their terms, subject only to bankruptcy, insolvency and other limitations on creditors’ rights generally and to equitable principles. Such Loan Documents are, as of the Closing Date, not subject to any right of rescission, set-off, counterclaim or defense by any Borrower or Operating Lessee, including the defense of usury, nor will the operation of any of the terms of the Notes, any Mortgage, or such other Loan Documents, or the exercise of any right thereunder, render any Mortgage unenforceable against any Borrower or Operating Lessee, in whole or in part, or subject to any right of rescission, set-off, counterclaim or defense by any Borrower or Operating Lessee, including the defense of usury, and no Borrower or Operating Lessee has asserted any right of rescission, set-off, counterclaim or defense with respect thereto.

(AA) No Liabilities. No Borrower or Operating Lessee has any liabilities or obligations including, without limitation, Contingent Obligations (and including, without limitation, liabilities or obligations in tort, in contract, at law, in equity, pursuant to a statute or regulation, or otherwise) other than those liabilities and obligations expressly permitted by this Agreement.

The use being made of each Individual Property is in conformity with the certificate of occupancy and/or Permits for each such Individual Property and any other restrictions, covenants or conditions affecting each such Individual Property to the

extent that any existing nonconformity would not have a Material Adverse Effect. Each such Individual Property contains all equipment necessary to use and operate each such Individual Property in a first-class manner.

There is no right under any trademark, trade name or service xxxx necessary to the business of any Borrower or Operating Lessee as presently conducted or as Borrower or Operating Lessee contemplates conducting its business. No Borrower or Operating Lessee has infringed, is infringing, or has received notice of infringement with respect to asserted trademarks, trade names and service marks of others. To Borrower’s or Operating Lessee’s knowledge, there is no infringement by others of trademarks, trade names and service marks of any Borrower or Operating Lessee.

Borrowers’ or Operating Lessee’s failure to appoint an acceptable manager by the time the Management Agreement expires by its terms or within thirty (30) days of any other termination of the Management Agreement, shall constitute an immediate Event of Default. Borrowers’ or Operating Lessee’s failure to enter into hotel management and operating agreements and other documents in connection therewith (such as subordinations and comfort letters) acceptable to Lender and the Rating Agencies, each in their discretion, with an acceptable hotel franchise to operate a hotel at the applicable Individual Property by the time the Management Agreement expires by its terms shall constitute an immediate Event of Default.

(U) Trade Indebtedness. Each Borrower and Operating Lessee will pay its trade payables within sixty (60) days of the date incurred, unless such Borrower or Operating Lessee is in good faith contesting such Borrower’s obligation to pay such trade payables in a manner reasonably satisfactory to Lender (which may include Lender’s requirement that such Borrower or Operating Lessee post security with respect to the contested trade payable).

(V) Deferred Maintenance. Borrower shall, within six (6) months of the date hereof, perform the deferred maintenance work (the “Deferred Maintenance”) to the Property itemized on Exhibit B hereto.

or equal to the related cost of such capital improvement shown on Exhibit J shall be deemed a reasonable amount), (y) Borrowers shall spend at least an amount equal to the “Required Expenditure Amount” shown opposite such Individual Property on Exhibit I hereto on the foregoing items (i) and (ii) of this subsection, exclusive of any amounts reserved for or otherwise reimbursed to any Borrower pursuant to the terms of this Agreement or any Management Agreement, including, without limitation, any amounts which are reimbursable from the Capital Reserve Sub-Account or from any account relating to FF&E and repairs maintained pursuant to any Management Agreement, and (z) Borrowers shall, on or prior to December 31, 2006 (or, with respect to PIP Work, within five (5) Business Days of any later date of completion if such date has been extended by Manager), furnish Lender with copies of bills and other documentation as may be reasonably requested by Lender to establish that that such PIP Work and capital improvements have been completed and that the conditions set forth in the foregoing clauses (x) and (y) of this subsection have been fulfilled and the amounts referenced therein paid in full.

Each Borrower and Operating Lessee shall immediately notify Lender in writing if any representations, warranties or covenants are no longer true or have been breached or if such Borrower or Operating Lessee has a reasonable basis to believe that they may no longer be true or have been breached. In connection with such an event, such Borrower or Operating Lessee shall comply with all Legal Requirements and directives of Governmental Authorities and, at Lender’s request, provide to Lender copies of all notices, reports and other communications exchanged with, or received from, Governmental Authorities relating to such an event. Borrowers and Operating Lessee shall also promptly reimburse to Lender any and all costs and expenses incurred by Lender in evaluating the effect of such an event on the Loan and Lender’s interest in the collateral for the Loan, in obtaining any necessary license from Governmental Authorities as may be necessary for Lender to enforce its rights under the Loan Documents, and in complying with all Legal Requirements applicable to Lender as the result of the existence of such an event and for any penalties or fines imposed upon Lender as a result thereof.

(Y) Franchise Agreements.

Each Borrower shall or shall cause the applicable Operating Lessee to (i) pay all sums required to be paid by the franchisee under each Franchise Agreement, (ii) diligently perform, observe and enforce all of the terms, covenants and conditions of each Franchise Agreement on the part of the franchisee thereunder to be performed, observed and enforced to the end that all things shall be done which are necessary to keep unimpaired the rights of said franchisee under each Franchise Agreement, (iii) promptly notify Lender of the giving of any notice to any Borrower and/or Operating Lessee of any material default by the franchisee in the performance or observance of any of the terms,

(b) No Borrower shall (and shall not cause or permit any Operating Lessee to), without the prior consent of the Lender (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld), surrender any Franchise Agreement or terminate or cancel any Franchise Agreement or modify, change, supplement, alter or amend any Franchise Agreement, in any material respect, either orally or in writing, and each Borrower hereby assigns to Lender as further security for the payment of the Indebtedness and for the performance and observance of the terms, covenants and conditions of this Loan Agreement, any and all rights, privileges and prerogatives of each Borrower to surrender any Franchise Agreement or to terminate, cancel, modify, change, supplement, alter or amend any Franchise Agreement in any respect, and any such surrender of any Franchise Agreement or termination, cancellation, modification, change, supplement, alteration or amendment of any Franchise Agreement without the prior consent of Lender (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld) shall be void and of no force and effect.

(c) If any franchisee shall default in the performance or observance of any material term, covenant or condition of any Franchise Agreement on the part of the franchisee thereunder to be performed or observed, then, without limiting the generality of the other provisions of this Agreement, and without waiving or releasing any 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 appropriate to cause all the terms, covenants and conditions of such Franchise Agreement on the part of the franchisee to be performed or observed to be promptly performed or observed on behalf of such Borrower, to the end that the rights of said franchisee (and/or such Borrower and/or Operating Lessee) in, to and under such Franchise Agreement shall be kept unimpaired and free from default. Any such amounts so advanced by Lender together with interest thereon from the date expended by Lender of the Default Rate shall be part of the Indebtedness and Borrower shall immediately repay such amounts to Lender upon demand. Pursuant to the terms of the applicable Subordination Attornment and Security Agreement and/or Assignment of Management Agreement, Lender and any person designated by Lender shall have, and are hereby granted, the right to enter upon the applicable Individual Property at any time and from time to time for the purpose of taking any such action. If any Franchisor shall deliver to Lender a copy of any notice sent to any Borrower and/or Operating Lessee of any default under any Franchise Agreement, such notice shall constitute full protection to Lender for any action taken or omitted to be taken by Lender in good faith, in reliance thereon.

(d) Each Borrower shall (or shall cause the applicable Operating Lessee to) exercise each individual option, if any, to extend or renew the term of each Franchise Agreement upon demand by Lender made at any time within ninety (90) days prior to the last day upon which any such option may be exercised, and each Borrower hereby expressly

authorizes and appoints Lender as its attorney-in-fact to exercise (or cause the applicable Operating Lessee to exercise) any such option in the name of and upon behalf of such Borrower should such Borrower fail to do so, which power of attorney shall be irrevocable and shall be deemed to be coupled with an interest.

(e) Any sums expended by Lender pursuant to this Section shall bear interest at the Default Rate from the date such cost is incurred to the date of payment to Lender, shall be deemed to constitute a portion of the Indebtedness, shall be secured by the lien of the Mortgage and the other Loan Documents and shall be immediately due and payable within two (2) Business Days after demand by Lender therefor.

(f) Each Borrower shall, promptly upon request of Lender, but no more than two (2) times in any calendar year during the term of the Loan (unless (i) an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing or (ii) such request is occasioned in connection with a Secondary Market Transaction) use its diligent best efforts to obtain and deliver (or cause to be delivered) an estoppel certificate from each Franchisor stating that (i) each applicable Franchise Agreement is in full force and effect and has not been modified, amended or assigned, (ii) neither such Franchisor nor the franchisee named thereunder is in default under any of the terms, covenants or provisions of each applicable Franchise Agreement and such Franchisor knows of no event which, but for the passage of time or the giving of notice or both, would constitute an event of default under each applicable Franchise Agreement, (iii) neither such Franchisor nor the franchisee thereunder has commenced any action or given or received any notice for the purpose of terminating any applicable Franchise Agreement and (iv) all sums due and payable to such Franchisor under each applicable Franchise Agreement have been paid in full.

Borrower shall, by the respective required completion dates set forth in Exhibit K, perform the environmental remediation to the Property itemized on Exhibit K hereto (the “Upfront Remediation”).

(a) Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, all or any one or more of the rights, powers and other remedies available to Lender against Borrowers or any Borrower under this Agreement, the Note, any Mortgages or any of the other Loan Documents, or at law or in equity may be exercised by Lender at any time and from time to time (including, without limitation, the right to accelerate and declare the outstanding principal amount, unpaid interest, Default Rate interest, Late Charges, Prepayment Premium and any other amounts owing by such Borrower to be immediately due and payable), without notice

or demand, whether or not all or any portion of the Indebtedness shall be declared due and payable, and whether or not Lender shall have commenced any foreclosure proceeding or other action for the enforcement of its rights and remedies under any of the Loan Documents with respect to all or any portion of the Collateral. 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 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. Notwithstanding anything contained to the contrary herein, the outstanding principal amount, unpaid interest, Default Rate interest, Late Charges, Prepayment Premium and any other amounts owing by any Borrower shall be accelerated and immediately due and payable, without any election by Lender upon the occurrence of an Event of Default described in Section 7.1(xii) or Section 7.1 (xiii).

Section 7.3. Remedies Cumulative.

The rights, powers and remedies of Lender under this Agreement shall be cumulative and not exclusive of any other right, power or remedy which Lender may have against any Borrower or any other Person pursuant to this Agreement or the other Loan Documents executed by or with respect to any Borrower or any other Person, 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 discretion. No delay or omission to exercise any remedy, right or power accruing upon an Event of Default shall impair any such remedy, right or power or shall be construed as a waiver thereof, but any such remedy, right or power may be exercised from time to time and as often as may be deemed expedient. A waiver of any Default or Event of Default shall not be construed to be a waiver of any subsequent Default or Event of Default or to impair any remedy, right or power consequent thereon. Any and all of Lender’s rights with respect to the Collateral shall continue unimpaired, and each Borrower shall be and remain obligated in accordance with the terms hereof, notwithstanding (i) the release or substitution of Collateral at any time, or of any rights or interest therein or (ii) any delay, extension of time, renewal, compromise or other indulgence granted by Lender in the event of any Default or Event of Default with respect to the Collateral or otherwise hereunder. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, but subject to Section 8.14 hereof, Lender reserves the right to seek a deficiency judgment or preserve a deficiency claim, in connection with the foreclosure of any or all Mortgages, to the extent necessary to foreclose on other parts of the Collateral.

Section 7.4. Lender’s Right to Perform.

If any Borrower fails to perform any covenant or obligation contained herein and such failure shall continue for a period of (5) five Business Days after such Borrower’s receipt of written notice thereof from Lender, without in any way limiting Section 7.1 hereof, Lender may, but shall have no obligation to, itself perform, or cause performance of, such covenant or obligation, and the expenses of Lender incurred in connection therewith shall be payable by

Borrowers to Lender upon demand. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Lender shall have no obligation to send notice to such Borrower of any such failure.

Lender shall have the right to assign in whole or in part this Agreement and/or any of the other Loan Documents and the obligations hereunder or thereunder to any Person and to participate all or any portion of the Loan evidenced hereby, including without limitation, any servicer or trustee in connection with a Secondary Market Transaction. Lender shall provide any Borrower with written notice of any such assignment; provided, however, that such notice shall not be a condition of Lender’s right to assign this Agreement and/or any of the Loan Documents and the failure to deliver such notice shall not constitute a default under this Loan Agreement. At the option of Lender, the Loan may be serviced by a servicer and\or trustee selected by Lender and Lender may delegate all or any portion of its responsibilities under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents to such servicer and\or trustee pursuant to a servicing agreement between Lender and such servicer and\or trustee.

Section 8.12. Waiver of Notice.

No Borrower shall be entitled to any notices of any nature whatsoever from Lender except with respect to matters for which this Agreement or the other Loan Documents specifically and expressly provide for the giving of notice by Lender to such Borrower and

The parties hereto agree that any action or proceeding to determine whether Lender has acted reasonably shall be determined by an action seeking declaratory judgment.

Section 8.14. Exculpation.

The preceding provisions of this Section 8.14 shall be inapplicable to any Person if (i) any petition for bankruptcy, reorganization or arrangement pursuant to federal or state law against any Borrower or Operating Lessee shall be filed by any Borrower, Operating Lessee, or any Affiliate of any Borrower or Operating Lessee, (ii) if an involuntary bankruptcy or other insolvency proceeding is commenced against any Borrower or Operating Lessee (by a party other than Lender) but only if such Borrower has consented or acquiesced to such proceeding or if Borrower, Operating Lessee or any Affiliate of Borrower or Operating Lessee has acted in concert with, colluded or conspired with the party to cause the filing thereof or has consented to or acquiesced thereto, (iii) if any Borrower or Operating Lessee shall institute any proceeding for the dissolution or liquidation of any Borrower or Operating Lessee, (iv) if any Borrower or Operating Lessee shall make an assignment for the benefit of creditors, (v) if any Borrower or Operating Lessee shall breach any representation, warranty or covenant in Section 4.1(C) (such that such breach was considered by a court as a factor in the court’s finding for a

consolidation of the assets of a Borrower or Operating Lessee with the assets of another person or entity or as a result thereof Lender suffers any material damage, cost, liability or expense; provided, however, that in the absence of an actual consolidation, recourse may be had against Borrower or Operating Lessee only to the extent of losses for such breach), 4.1(V), 4.1(AA), 5.1(T) (such that such breach was considered by a court as a factor in the court’s finding for a consolidation of the assets of a Borrower or Operating Lessee with the assets of another person or entity or as a result thereof Lender suffers any material damage, cost, liability or expense; provided, however, that in the absence of an actual consolidation, recourse may be had against Borrower or Operating Lessee only to the extent of losses for such breach) or 5.1(X), (v) if any Borrower or Operating Lessee allows any Transfer to occur in violation of Section 6.1(B) hereof or otherwise fails to obtain Lender’s prior written consent to any Transfer to the extent any consent is required in the Loan Documents, (vi) any Borrower or Operating Lessee interferes with Lender’s exercise of any of its rights or remedies hereunder or (vii) if any Borrower or Operating Lessee breaches any representation or warranty contained in Section 4.1(S).

Section 8.28. Limitation of Interest.

It is the intention of each Borrower and Lender to conform strictly to applicable usury laws. Accordingly, if the transactions contemplated hereby would be usurious under applicable law, then, in that event, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in any Loan Document, it is agreed as follows: (i) the aggregate of all consideration which constitutes interest under applicable law that is taken, reserved, contracted for, charged or received under any Loan Document or otherwise in connection with the Loan shall under no circumstances exceed the maximum amount of interest allowed by applicable law, and any excess shall be credited to principal by Lender (or if the Loan shall have been paid in full, refunded to any Borrower); and (ii) in the event that maturity of the Loan is accelerated by reason of an election by Lender resulting from any default hereunder or otherwise, or in the event of any required or permitted prepayment, then such consideration that constitutes interest may never include more than the maximum amount of interest allowed by applicable law, and any interest in excess of the maximum amount of interest allowed by applicable law, if any, provided for in the Loan Documents or otherwise shall be cancelled automatically as of the date of such acceleration or prepayment and, if theretofore prepaid, shall be credited to principal (or if the principal portion of the Loan and any other amounts not constituting interest shall have been paid in full, refunded to any Borrower.)

In determining whether or not the interest paid or payable under any specific contingency exceeds the maximum amount allowed by applicable law, Lender shall, to the maximum extent permitted under applicable law (a) exclude voluntary prepayments and the effects thereof, and (b) amortize, prorate, allocate and spread, in equal parts, the total amount of interest throughout the entire contemplated term of the Loan so that the interest rate is uniform throughout the entire term of the Loan; provided, that if the Loan is paid and performed in full

102

prior to the end of the full contemplated term hereof, and if the interest received for the actual period of existence thereof exceeds the maximum amount allowed by applicable law, Lender shall refund to any Borrower the amount of such excess, and in such event, Lender shall not be subject to any penalties provided by any laws for contracting for, charging or receiving interest in excess of the maximum amount allowed by applicable law.

Section 8.29. Indemnification.

Borrowers shall indemnify and hold Lender and each other Indemnified Party harmless against any and all losses, claims, damages, costs, expenses (including the fees and disbursements of outside counsel retained by any such person) or liabilities in connection with, arising out of or as a result of the transactions and matters referred to or contemplated by this Agreement, except to the extent that it is finally judicially determined that any such loss, claim, damage, cost, expense or liability resulted directly and solely from the gross negligence, fraud or willful misconduct of such Indemnified Party. If any Indemnified Party becomes involved in any action, proceeding or investigation in connection with any transaction or matter referred to or contemplated in this Agreement, Borrowers shall periodically reimburse any Indemnified Party upon demand herefore in an amount equal to its reasonable legal and other expenses (including the costs of any investigation and preparation) incurred in connection therewith to the extent such legal or other expenses are the subject of indemnification hereunder. IT IS EXPRESSLY ACKNOWLEDGED AND AGREED BY EACH BORROWER THAT THE INDEMNITY (AND/OR THE RELEASE) CONTAINED IN THIS SECTION 8.29 PROTECTS LENDER FROM THE CONSEQUENCES OF LENDER’S ACTS OR OMISSIONS, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION, THE NEGLIGENT ACTS OR OMISSIONS OF LENDER TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, THAT NOTHING CONTAINED HEREIN SHALL BE DEEMED TO RELIEVE THE LENDER FROM LIABILITY DUE TO ITS FRAUD, WILLFUL MISCONDUCT OR GROSS NEGLIGENCE.

Section 8.30. Borrower Acknowledgments.

Each Borrower hereby acknowledges to and agrees with Lender that (i) the scope of Lender’s business is wide and includes, but is not limited to, financing, real estate financing, investment in real estate and other real estate transactions which may be viewed as adverse to or competitive with the business of such Borrower or its Affiliates and (ii) such Borrower has been represented by competent legal counsel and such Borrower has consulted with such counsel prior to executing this Loan Agreement and of the other Loan Documents.

Section 8.31. Publicity.

Lender shall have the right to issue press releases, advertisements and other promotional materials describing Lender’s participation in the origination of the Loan or the Loan’s inclusion in any Secondary Market Transaction effectuated or to be effectuated by Lender. All news releases, publicity or advertising by any Borrower or their affiliates through any media intended to reach the general public which refers to the Loan Documents or the financing evidenced by the Loan Documents, to the Lender, Xxxxxxx Xxxxx Mortgage Lending, Inc., or any of their respective affiliates shall be subject to the prior written approval of Lender

103

and Xxxxxxx Xxxxx Mortgage Lending, Inc., except for disclosures required by law which shall not require Lender approval but which shall require prior written notice to Lender.
