Rate (which may be less than the Advance Rate set forth in the

Lender and Borrower have agreed otherwise in writing. Nothing in this
Section 2.03(a)(ii) or elsewhere in this Loan Agreement shall, or be

connection with such borrowing, (2) specify the requested Funding Date, and (3)
attach an Officer's Certificate signed by a Responsible Officer of Borrower as
required by Section 5.02(b) hereof. Contemporaneously with the delivery of the

heretofore finally approved by Lender.
-17-
"Table Funded" Eligible Collateral:
1) By no later than 1:00 p.m., New York City time, on the Funding Date,
the Borrower shall cause the Bailee to deliver to the Custodian by facsimile (i)
as to each item of Eligible Collateral, the note, if applicable, evidencing the
making of a loan secured by such Eligible Collateral, a fully executed Bailee
Agreement and Bailee's Trust Receipt and Certification issued by the Bailee
thereunder, (ii) as to all other categories of Eligible Collateral on a
case-by-case basis, the delivery of all fully executed documents and instruments
required by Lender to comprise the Collateral File and (iii) evidence
satisfactory to Lender that all documents necessary to perfect Borrower's
interest in the Eligible Collateral have been delivered to a party acceptable to
Lender for recordation and filing.
2) By no later than 1:00 p.m., New York City time, on the third
Business Day following the applicable Funding Date, the Borrower shall cause the
Bailee to deliver to the Custodian the Collateral File.
(f) No later than 1:00 p.m., New York City time, on each Funding Date,
Borrower shall provide Custodian with a final Custodial Identification
Certificate and related Collateral Schedule with respect to the Eligible
Collateral to be pledged to the Lender on such Funding Date, indicating any
changes, if any, from the Custodial Identification Certificate and related
Collateral Schedule heretofore delivered to Lender and Custodian pursuant to
Section 2.03(d) above.
(g) If Borrower shall deliver a request for a borrowing pursuant to
Section 2.03(d) hereof and all conditions precedent set forth in Sections
2.03(a), 2.03(b), 2.03(c), 5.01 and 5.02 have been met, and provided no Default
or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, Lender shall make a
Loan to Borrower on the requested Funding Date, in the amount so requested and
approved by Lender.
(h) Subject to the delivery by Custodian to Borrower and Lender of a
Trust Receipt with a Collateral Schedule in respect to all Collateral pledged to
Lender on such Funding Date by no later then 3:00 p.m. on such date, and subject
further to the provisions of Section 5 hereof, such borrowing will then be made
available to Borrower by Lender transferring, via wire transfer, to the
following account of Borrower: Bank of New York, 000 Xxxxx Xxxxxx, Xxx Xxxx, Xxx
Xxxx, Account No. 630-0000000 for the benefit of Capital Trust, ABA# 021-000018,
Attn: Xxxxxx Xxxx ((000) 000-0000), in the aggregate amount of such borrowing in
funds immediately available to Borrower. Lender may consider on a case-by-case
basis in its sole, absolute discretion alternative funding arrangements
requested by Borrower.
(i) From time to time, the Borrower shall forward to the Custodian
additional original documents or additional documents evidencing any (i)
assumption, modification, consolidation or extension of a Collateral Loan, or
(iii) any amendment to the operative documents with respect to an Equity
Interest, in each case approved by the Lender in accordance with the terms of
this Loan Agreement and upon receipt of any such other documents, the Custodian
shall hold such other documents as the Lender shall request from time to time.
(j) With respect to any documents which have been delivered or are
being delivered to recording offices for recording and have not been returned to
the Borrower in time to permit their delivery hereunder at the time required, in
lieu of delivering such original documents, Borrower shall deliver to Lender a
true copy thereof with an Officer's Certificate certifying that such copy is a
true, correct and complete copy of the original, which has been transmitted for
recordation. The Borrower shall deliver such original documents to the Custodian
promptly when they are received.
2.04. Mandatory Prepayments or Pledge.
(a) Lender may determine and re-determine the Borrowing Base on any
Business Day and on as many Business Days as it may elect. If at any time (i)
the aggregate outstanding principal
-18-
amount of Loans exceeds the Borrowing Base (a "Borrowing Base Deficiency"), as
determined by Lender in its sole discretion and notified to Borrower on any
Business Day, Borrower shall no later than one Business Day after receipt of
such notice, or (ii) Borrower shall have received a prepayment of the principal
of any loan or preferred equity interest comprising a portion of the Collateral
(including, without limitation, the payment of casualty or condemnation
proceeds), Borrower shall, not later than one (1) Business Day after receipt of
such prepayment, either prepay the Loans in part or in whole or pledge
additional Collateral (which Collateral shall be in all respects acceptable to
Lender) to Lender, such that after giving effect to such prepayment or pledge
the aggregate outstanding principal amount of the Loans does not exceed the
Borrowing Base as re-determined by Lender after the addition of Collateral. So
long as no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is then continuing, all
partial repayments shall be applied against the Asset-Specific Loan Balance
relating to the Loan being repaid.
(b) If at any time under any Collateral Document evidencing Eligible
Collateral (x) there is an Event of Default, or event with which the giving of
notice or lapse of time or both would become an Event of Default, or (y) any
representation or warranty made by or on behalf of the relevant Collateral
Obligor becomes false or misleading in any material respect or (z) the relevant
Collateral Obligor fails to perform or observe any material covenant or other
obligation, Lender may, in its sole discretion and without regard to any
determination of the Asset Value of such Eligible Collateral, notify Borrower of
such occurrence and may require that the Asset-Specific Loan Balance related to
the relevant Eligible Collateral be prepaid in whole or in part in the
determination of Lender. Not later than one (1) Business Day after the receipt
of such notice, Borrower shall prepay the Asset-Specific Loan Balance related to
such Eligible Collateral. Lender may, in its sole discretion, determine and
re-determine the amount to be prepaid irrespective of whether or not (i) any
statement of fact contained in any Officer's Certificate delivered pursuant to
Section 5.02(b) or (ii) any representation of Borrower set forth in Section 6.12
was true to Borrower's actual knowledge.
Section 3. Payments; Computations; Etc.
3.01. Repayment of Loans; Interest.
(a) Borrower hereby promises to repay in full on the Termination Date
the aggregate outstanding principal amount of the Loans; provided, however, in
the event the Termination Date shall be extended to the date that is nine (9)
months after the First Anniversary pursuant to the terms hereof, Borrower
promises to repay such aggregate principal amount of the Loans outstanding on
the First Anniversary by the payment on the first Business Day of each calendar
month during the Amortization Period beginning with the first Business day of
the first calendar month following the First Anniversary and on the Termination
Date, as extended (each, an "Installment Date") of an amount equal to the
quotient of (x) the aggregate principal amount of the Loans outstanding as at
the First Anniversary divided by (y) nine (9) (such schedule of payments, the
"Amortization Schedule"); provided, further, that in the event that Borrower
shall repay any portion of the outstanding principal in an amount in excess of
the amount then due and payable in accordance with the Amortization Schedule,
the Amortization Schedule shall be recalculated such that Borrower shall repay
the principal amount of the Loans outstanding on the date of such repayment
(after taking such repayment into account) by the payment on each Installment
Date remaining in the Amortization Period of an amount equal to the quotient of
(x) the aggregate principal amount of the Loans outstanding on the date of such
repayment (after taking such repayment into account) divided by (y) the number
of Installment Dates remaining during the Amortization Period. Any repayment of
the principal of the Loans made by Borrower to Lender subsequent to an
Installment Date shall be credited at the time of such payment and applied to
the payment due on next succeeding Installment Date.
(b) Borrower hereby promises to pay to Lender interest on the unpaid
principal amount of each Loan for the period from and including the date of such
Loan to but excluding the date such Loan shall be paid in full, at a rate per
annum equal to the Eurodollar Rate plus the applicable
-19-
Eurodollar Rate Spread. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Borrower hereby promises
to pay to Lender, to the extent permitted by applicable law, interest at the
applicable Post-Default Rate on any principal of any Loan and on any other
amount payable by Borrower hereunder or under the Note that shall not be paid in
full when due (whether at stated maturity, by acceleration or by mandatory
prepayment or otherwise) for the period from and including the due date thereof
to but excluding the date the same is paid in full. Payment and acceptance of
interest pursuant to this subsection shall not constitute a waiver of any
Default and shall not otherwise limit or prejudice any right of Lender
hereunder. In no event shall Lender be entitled to receive any proceeds received
from any Collateral Obligor in connection with the refinancing and/or final
distribution to Lender with respect to any Eligible Collateral to the extent
same exceeds the sums provided to be paid to Lender under Section 7.15 of this
Loan Agreement.
(c) Accrued interest on each Loan shall be payable monthly in arrears
on the first Business Day of each month and for the last month of the Loan
Agreement on the first Business Day of such last month and on the Termination
Date, except that interest payable at the Post-Default Rate shall accrue daily
and shall be payable upon such accrual.
(d) The Loans may be prepaid in whole or in part at any time upon two
(2) Business Days prior written notice, without any penalty or premium;
provided, however, that any such prepayment shall be accompanied by an amount
representing accrued interest on the principal amount being prepaid and all
other amounts then due under the Loan Documents (including, without limitation,
all amounts due under Section 3 hereof). Each partial prepayment that is
voluntary (as opposed to mandatory under the terms of this Loan Agreement) shall
be in an amount of not less than One Hundred Thousand Dollars ($100,000). So
long as no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is then continuing, each
voluntary prepayment shall be applied to reduce any Asset-Specific Loan Balance
as designated by Borrower to Lender in writing.
(e) With respect to any item of Collateral, Borrower shall repay to
Lender an amount equal to the amount of casualty or condemnation proceeds paid
to, or for the benefit of, Borrower or any underlying obligor in respect of such
item of Collateral to the extent that Borrower is not required under the
underlying loan documents with Borrower's obligor to reserve, escrow, readvance
or apply such proceeds for the benefit of such obligor or the underlying real
property. So long as no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is then
continuing, such amounts paid to Lender shall be applied in reduction of the
Asset-Specific Loan Balance relating to such item of Collateral.
3.02. Payments.
(a) Except to the extent otherwise provided herein, all payments of
principal, interest and other amounts to be made by Borrower under this Loan
Agreement and the Note shall be made in Dollars, in immediately available funds,
without deduction, set-off or counterclaim, to Lender at an account in the
United States, to be notified by MS & Co. on behalf of Lender from time to time
in writing, not later than 1:00 p.m., New York City time, on the date on which
such payment shall become due (and each such payment made after such time on
such due date shall be deemed to have been made on the next succeeding Business
Day). Borrower acknowledges that it has no rights of withdrawal from the
foregoing account. Lender shall endeavor to send Borrower a detailed xxxx on the
date which is two (2) Business Days prior to the date on which payment is due;
provided, however, that the failure of Lender to send, or of Borrower to
receive, such xxxx shall in no way affect Borrower's obligation to pay amounts
due under this Loan Agreement.
(b) Except to the extent otherwise expressly provided herein, if the
due date of any payment under this Loan Agreement or the Note would otherwise
fall on a day that is not a Business Day, such date shall be extended to the
next succeeding Business Day, and interest shall be payable for any principal so
extended for the period of such extension.
-20-
3.03. Computations. Interest on the Loans shall be computed on the
basis of a 360-day year for the actual days elapsed (including the first day but
excluding the last day) occurring in the period for which payable. Lender shall
determine any rate of interest payable on Loans hereunder, and such
determination shall be conclusive and binding, absent manifest error.
3.04. U.S. Taxes.
(a) Borrower agrees to pay to Lender such additional amounts as are
necessary in order that the net payment of any amount due to Lender hereunder
after deduction for or withholding in respect of any U.S. Tax (as defined below)
imposed with respect to such payment (or in lieu thereof, payment of such U.S.
Tax by Lender) or any other tax, imposition, levy or similar charge assessment
against or otherwise applicable to Borrower (whether imposed by a political
subdivision or agency of the United States Government, under any law or treaty
in force or subsequently enacted under the laws of the Cayman Islands) or
otherwise, will not be less than the amount stated herein to be then due and
payable; provided that the foregoing obligation to pay such additional amounts,
to the extent attributable to a U. S. Tax shall not apply:
(i) to any payment to Lender hereunder unless (A) Lender is
entitled to submit a Form W-8BEN (relating to Lender and entitling it to a
complete exemption from withholding on all interest to be received by it
hereunder in respect of the Loans) or Form W-8ECI (relating to all interest
to be received by Lender hereunder in respect of the Loans), or (B) prior
to such payment Lender shall have furnished to Borrower a Form W-8 (or
substitute) or otherwise established an exemption from U.S. withholding
tax, or
(ii) to any U.S. Tax imposed solely by reason of the failure by
Lender to comply with applicable certification, information, documentation
or other reporting requirements concerning the nationality, residence,
identity or connections with the United States of America of Lender if such
compliance is required by statute or regulation of the United States of
America as a precondition to relief or exemption from such U.S. Tax.
For the purposes of this Section 3.04, (x) "Form W-8BEN" shall mean
Form W-8BEN (Ownership, Exemption, or Reduced Rate Certificate) of the
Department of the Treasury of the United States of America, (y) "Form W-8ECI"
shall mean Form W-8ECI (Exemption from Withholding of Tax on Income Effectively
Connected with the Conduct of a Trade or Business in the United States) of the
Department of the Treasury of the United States of America (or in relation to
either such Form such successor and related form as may from time to time be
adopted by the relevant taxing authorities of the United States of America to
document a claim to which such Form relates), and (z) "U.S. Taxes" shall mean
any present or future tax, assessment or other charge or levy imposed by or on
behalf of the United States of America, any political subdivision of the United
States of America or any taxing authority thereof or therein.
(b) Within 30 days after paying any such amount to Lender, and within
30 days after it is required by law to remit such deduction or withholding to
any relevant taxing or other authority, Borrower shall deliver to Lender
evidence satisfactory to Lender of such deduction, withholding or payment (as
the case may be).
(c) Lender shall not assign or sell participation interests in the
Loans made or to be made hereunder subject to Section 2.02 and unless it shall
have given prior notice to Borrower and unless a condition specified in Section
3.04(a)(i) or (ii) shall not apply.
3.05. Booking of Loans. Without limitation of Lender's rights to sell,
assign or transfer a Loan or any interest therein, including any participation
interest therein, at any time and from time to time, Lender may make, carry or
transfer such Loan at, to, or for the account of any of its branch offices
-21-
or the office of an Affiliate of Lender; provided, however, that the
representation in Section 3.04(c) shall remain true throughout the term of such
Loan.
3.06. Lender's Funding of Eurodollar Rate Loans. Borrower hereby
expressly acknowledges and agrees that Lender may fund a Loan in any manner it
sees fit, including (i) through the actual purchase of a Eurodollar deposit
bearing interest at the rate obtained pursuant to the definition of Eurodollar
Rate in an amount equal to the principal amount of such Loan and having a
maturity comparable to the relevant interest period or (ii) through Lender's
entering into or purchase of repurchase agreements, interest rate agreements,
swap agreements or other arrangements in such amounts as Lender shall determine
(and which amounts may or may not, in Lender's sole discretion, be "match
funded" to such Loan). Calculation of all amounts payable to Lender under this
Section 3.06 and under Section 3.07 shall be made as though Lender had actually
funded such Loan through the purchase of a Eurodollar deposit bearing interest
at the rate obtained pursuant to the definition of Eurodollar Rate in an amount
equal to the amount of such Loan and having a maturity comparable to the
relevant interest period and through the transfer of such Eurodollar deposit
from an off-shore office of Lender to a domestic office of Lender in the United
States of America; provided, however, that Lender may fund such Loan in any
manner it sees fit and the foregoing assumptions shall be utilized only for
purposes of calculating amounts payable under this Section 3.06 and under
Section 3.07, if any.
3.07. Funding Costs. (a) Borrower shall compensate Lender, upon written
request by Lender (which request shall set forth the basis for requesting such
amounts), for all Funding Costs.
(b) Lender shall deliver to Borrower a statement setting forth the
amount and basis of determination of any Funding Cost, it being agreed that such
statement and the method of calculation shall be conclusive and binding on
Borrower, absent manifest error. In addition, in the event Borrower provides
Lender not less than five (5) Business Days prior written notice of a proposed
voluntary prepayment hereunder, Lender shall deliver to Borrower a non-binding
good faith estimate of the applicable components and amount of Funding Costs
which would be incurred by Borrower if Borrower were to make a voluntary
prepayment hereunder; provided, however, that Borrower shall remain liable for
all Funding Costs shown on the statement referred to in the first sentence of
this subsection (b), notwithstanding such good faith estimate.
(c) In lieu of prepaying the Loan when and as otherwise required or
permitted by this Loan Agreement, Borrower may on any Business Day (a "Deposit
Funding Date") instead deposit with Lender an amount equal to the applicable
prepayment, to be held by Lender (the "Prepayment Deposit") until such date as
application of the Prepayment Deposit on account of the Loan would not cause
Lender to suffer Funding Costs (the "Deposit Application Date"). Any Prepayment
Deposit held by Lender shall: (a) constitute additional security for the Loan,
for which the parties shall enter into such security documents (and account
establishment and administration documents) as Lender shall require; (b) be held
by Lender in an interest-bearing account selected and controlled solely by
Lender, interest on which shall be added to principal and applied in the same
manner as principal; (c) at Lender's option, be accompanied by a payment (as
estimated by Lender) equal to the difference between the interest to be earned
on the Prepayment Deposit and the interest that will accrue on a portion of the
Loan equal to the Prepayment Deposit during the period from the Deposit Funding
Date to the Deposit Application Date; (d) with respect to the Collateral,
entitle Borrower to the same rights and benefits (including the right to
releases, if any) that would have been available to Borrower if Borrower had
prepaid the Loan (and designated Asset-Specific Loan Balance(s)) by an amount
equal to the Prepayment Deposit; and (e) be applied on account of the Loan
(principal and interest) on the Deposit Application Date.
3.08. Compensation for Increased Costs. If Lender shall in good faith
determine that any change in any law, treaty or governmental rule, regulation or
order, or in the interpretation, administration or application thereof, or any
determination of a court or governmental authority, or
-22-
compliance with any guideline, request or directive issued or made by any
central bank or other governmental or quasi-governmental authority (whether or
not having the force of law):
(a) imposes, modifies or holds applicable any reserve (including any
marginal, emergency, supplemental, special or other reserve), special deposit,
compulsory loan, FDIC insurance or similar requirement against assets held by,
or deposits or other liabilities in or for the account of, or advances or loans
by, or other credit extended by, or any other acquisition of funds by, any
office of Lender; or
(b) imposes any other condition on or affecting Lender or its
obligations hereunder or the interbank Eurodollar market;
(c) and the result of any of the foregoing is to increase the cost to
Lender of agreeing to make, making or maintaining the Loan hereunder or to
reduce any amount received or receivable by Lender with respect thereto; then,
in any such case, Borrower shall promptly (but in any event no later than five
(5) Business Days following any notice from Lender of the same) pay to Lender,
upon receipt of the statement referred to in the next sentence, such additional
amount or amounts as may be necessary to compensate Lender for any such
increased cost or reduction in amounts received or receivable hereunder. Lender
shall deliver to Borrower a written statement, setting forth in reasonable
detail the basis for calculating the additional amounts owed to Lender under
this Section 3.08, which statement shall be conclusive and binding upon all
parties hereto absent manifest error.
3.09. Limitation on Types of Loans; Illegality. Anything herein to the
contrary notwithstanding, if:
(a) Lender determines, which determination shall be conclusive, that
quotations of interest rates for the relevant deposits referred to in the
definition of "Eurodollar Base Rate" in Section 1.01 hereof are not being
provided in the relevant amounts or for the relevant maturities for purposes of
determining rates of interest for Loans as provided herein; or
(b) Lender determines, which determination shall be conclusive, that
the relevant rate of interest referred to in the definition of "Eurodollar Base
Rate" in Section 1.01 hereof upon the basis of which the rate of interest for
Loans is to be determined is not likely adequate to cover the cost to Lender of
making or maintaining Loans; or
(c) Lender determines, which determination shall be conclusive, that it
is or will be unlawful for Lender to honor its obligation to make or maintain
Loans hereunder using a Eurodollar Rate as a result of compliance by Lender in
good faith with any law, treaty, governmental rule, regulation, guideline or
order (or would conflict with any such treaty, governmental rule, regulation,
guideline or order not having the force of law even though the failure to comply
therewith would not be unlawful);
then Lender shall give Borrower prompt notice thereof and, so long as
such condition remains in effect, Lender shall be under no obligation to make
additional Loans, and Borrower shall, either prepay all such Loans as may be
outstanding or pay interest on such Loans at a rate per annum equal to the
Eurodollar Substitute Rate.
Section 4. Collateral Security.
4.01. Collateral; Security Interest.
(a) Borrower hereby assigns, pledges and grants a security interest in
all of its right, title and interest in, to and under the Collateral described
in Section 4.01(b) below to Lender to secure the repayment of principal of and
interest on all Loans and all other amounts owing to Lender hereunder, under the
Note, under the other Loan Documents and any and all MS Indebtedness from time
to time
-23-
outstanding (collectively, the "Secured Obligations"). Borrower agrees to xxxx
its computer records to evidence the interests granted to Lender hereunder.
(b) All of Borrower's right, title and interest in, to and under each
of the following items of property pledged by Borrower to Lender from time to
time and whether now owned or hereafter acquired, now existing or hereafter
created and wherever located, is hereinafter individually and collectively
referred to as the "Collateral":
(i) all CMBS and Other Approved Collateral;
(ii) all Collateral Documents, including without limitation all
securities, promissory notes, any collateral pledged or otherwise relating
to such Collateral, all representations and warranties made to, or for the
benefit of, Borrower by any Collateral Obligor, all Servicing Records (as

all files, documents, instruments, surveys, certificates, correspondence,
appraisals, computer programs, computer storage media, accounting records
and other books and records relating thereto, in each case subject to prior
liens and encumbrances permitted by Lender;
(iii) all guaranties and insurance (issued by governmental
agencies or otherwise) and any insurance certificate or other document
evidencing such guaranties or insurance relating to any Collateral and all
claims and payments thereunder;
(iv) all other insurance policies and insurance proceeds relating
to any Collateral or the related Property;
(v) all Interest Rate Protection Agreements;
(vi) the Collection Account and all monies from time to time on
deposit in the Collection Account;

(viii) any and all replacements, substitutions, distributions on,
or proceeds (including, without limitation, condemnation proceeds) of, any
and all of the foregoing set forth in items (i) through (vii) of this
Section 4.01(b), whether now owned or hereafter acquired, now existing or
hereafter created and wherever located.
(c) Pursuant to the Custodial Agreement, Custodian shall hold the
Collateral Documents as exclusive bailee and agent for Lender pursuant to terms
of the Custodial Agreement and shall deliver to Lender Trust Receipts each to
the effect that it has reviewed such Collateral Documents in the manner and to
the extent required by the Custodial Agreement and identifying any deficiencies
in such Collateral Documents as so reviewed.
4.02. Further Assurances.
(a) Borrower shall undertake, with respect to each item of Collateral
pledged hereunder as security for a Loan, any and all actions deemed necessary
by Lender for the granting by Borrower to Lender of a valid first priority
security interest in such Collateral. Without limiting the generality of the
foregoing, Borrower shall take such steps as are necessary for the granting and
perfection of a first priority security interest in Securities and related
Collateral.
(b) At any time and from time to time, upon the written request of
Lender, and at the sole expense of Borrower, Borrower will promptly and duly
execute and deliver, or will promptly cause to be executed and delivered, such
further instruments and documents and take such further action as Lender may
reasonably request for the purpose of obtaining or preserving the full benefits
of this Loan
-24-
Agreement and of the rights and powers herein granted, including, without
limitation, the filing of any financing or continuation statements under the
Uniform Commercial Code in effect in any jurisdiction with respect to the Liens
created hereby. Borrower also hereby authorizes Lender to file any such
financing or continuation statement without the signature of Borrower to the
extent permitted by applicable law. A carbon, photographic or other reproduction
of this Loan Agreement shall be sufficient as a financing statement for filing
in any jurisdiction.
4.03. Changes in Locations, Name, etc. Borrower shall not (i) change
the location of its chief executive office/chief place of business from that
specified in Section 6 hereof or (ii) change its name, identity or corporate
structure (or the equivalent) or change the location where it maintains its
records with respect to the Collateral unless it shall have given Lender at
least ten (10) days prior written notice thereof and shall have delivered to
Lender all Uniform Commercial Code financing statements and amendments thereto
as Lender shall request and taken all other actions deemed necessary by Lender
to continue its perfected status in the Collateral with the same or better
priority.
4.04. Lender's Appointment as Attorney-in-Fact.
(a) Borrower hereby irrevocably constitutes and appoints Lender and any
officer or agent thereof, with full power of substitution, as its true and
lawful attorney-in-fact with full irrevocable power and authority in the place
and stead of Borrower and in the name of Borrower or in its own name, from time
to time in Lender's discretion, for the purpose of carrying out the terms of
this Loan Agreement, to take any and all appropriate action and to execute any
and all documents and instruments which may be necessary or desirable to
accomplish the purposes of this Loan Agreement, and, without limiting the
generality of the foregoing, Borrower hereby gives Lender the power and right,
on behalf of Borrower, without assent by, but with notice to, Borrower, if an
Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, to do the following:
(i) in the name of Borrower or its own name, or otherwise, to
take possession of and endorse and collect any checks, drafts, notes,
acceptances or other instruments for the payment of moneys due under any
mortgage insurance or with respect to any other Collateral and to file any
claim or to take any other action or proceeding in any court of law or
equity or otherwise deemed appropriate by Lender for the purpose of
collecting any and all such moneys due under any such mortgage insurance or
with respect to any other Collateral whenever payable;
(ii) to pay or discharge taxes and Liens levied or placed on or
threatened against the Collateral; and
(iii) (A) to direct any party liable for any payment under any
Collateral to make payment of any and all moneys due or to become due
thereunder directly to Lender or as Lender shall direct; (B) to ask or
demand for, collect, receive payment of and receipt for, any and all
moneys, claims and other amounts due or to become due at any time in
respect of or arising out of any Collateral; (C) to sign and endorse any
invoices, assignments, verifications, notices and other documents in
connection with any of the Collateral; (D) to commence and prosecute any
suits, actions or proceedings at law or in equity in any court of competent
jurisdiction to collect the Collateral or any part thereof and to enforce
any other right in respect of any Collateral; (E) to defend any suit,
action or proceeding brought against Borrower with respect to any
Collateral; (F) to settle, compromise or adjust any suit, action or
proceeding described in clause (E) above and, in connection therewith, to
give such discharges or releases as Lender may deem appropriate; and (G)
generally, to sell, transfer, pledge and make any agreement with respect to
or otherwise deal with any of the Collateral as fully and completely as
though Lender were the absolute owner thereof for all purposes, and to do,
at Lender's option and Borrower's expense, at any time, and from time to
time, all acts and things which Lender deems reasonably
-25-
necessary to protect, preserve or realize upon the Collateral and Lender's
Liens thereon and to effect the intent of this Loan Agreement, all as fully
and effectively as Borrower might do.
Borrower hereby ratifies all that said attorneys shall lawfully do or cause to
be done by virtue hereof. This power of attorney is a power coupled with an
interest and shall be irrevocable until the repayment in full of all Secured
Obligations hereunder.
(b) Borrower also authorizes Lender, at any time and from time to time,
to execute, in connection with any sale provided for in Section 4.07 hereof, any
endorsements, assignments or other instruments of conveyance or transfer with
respect to the Collateral.
(c) The powers conferred on Lender are solely to protect Lender's
interests in the Collateral and shall not impose any duty upon Lender to
exercise any such powers. Lender shall be accountable only for amounts that it
actually receives as a result of the exercise of such powers, and neither Lender
nor any of its officers, directors, or employees shall be responsible to
Borrower for any act or failure to act hereunder, except for its own gross
negligence or willful misconduct.
4.05. Performance by Lender of Borrower's Obligations. If Borrower
fails to perform or comply with any of its agreements contained in the Loan
Documents to which it is a party and Lender may itself perform or comply, or
otherwise cause performance or compliance, with such agreement, the expenses of
Lender incurred in connection with such performance or compliance, together with
interest thereon at a rate per annum equal to the Post-Default Rate, shall be
payable by Borrower to Lender on demand and shall constitute Secured
Obligations.
4.06. Proceeds. If an Event of Default shall occur and be continuing,
(a) all proceeds of Collateral received by Borrower consisting of cash, checks
and other near-cash items shall be held by Borrower in trust for Lender,
segregated from other funds of Borrower, and, within two (2) Business Days of
receipt by Borrower, shall be turned over to Lender in the exact form received
by Borrower (duly endorsed by Borrower to Lender, if required, in order to be
negotiated by Lender), and (b) any and all such proceeds received by Lender
(whether from Borrower or otherwise) may, in the sole discretion of Lender, be
held by Lender as collateral security for, and/or then or at any time thereafter
may be applied by Lender against, the Secured Obligations (whether matured or
unmatured), such application to be in such order as Lender shall elect. Any
balance of such proceeds remaining after the Secured Obligations shall have been
paid in full and this Loan Agreement shall have been terminated shall be paid
over to Borrower or to whomsoever may be lawfully entitled to receive the same.
For purposes hereof, proceeds shall include, but not be limited to, all
principal and interest payments, all prepayments and payoffs, insurance claims,
condemnation awards, sale proceeds, real estate owned rents and any other income
and all other amounts received with respect to the Collateral.
4.07. Remedies. If an Event of Default shall occur and be continuing,
Lender may, at its option, enter into one or more Interest Rate Protection
Agreements covering all or a portion of the Mortgage Loans or Mezzanine Loans
pledged to Lender hereunder, and Borrower shall be responsible for all damages,
judgment costs and expenses of any kind which may be imposed on, incurred by or
asserted against Lender relating to or arising out of such Interest Rate
Protection Agreements; including without limitation any losses resulting from
such Interest Rate Protection Agreements. If an Event of Default shall occur and
be continuing, Lender may exercise, in addition to all other rights and remedies
granted to it in this Loan Agreement and in any other instrument or agreement
securing, evidencing or relating to the Secured Obligations, all rights and
remedies of a secured party under the Uniform Commercial Code. Without limiting
the generality of the foregoing, Lender without demand of performance or other
demand, presentment, protest, advertisement or notice of any kind (except any
notice required by law referred to below) to or upon Borrower or any other
Person (each and all of which demands, presentments, protests, advertisements
and notices are hereby waived), may in such circumstances forthwith collect,
receive, appropriate and realize upon the Collateral, or any part thereof,
and/or may
-26-
forthwith sell, lease, assign, give option or options to purchase, or otherwise
dispose of and deliver the Collateral or any part thereof (or contract to do any
of the foregoing), in one or more parcels or as an entirety at public or private
sale or sales, at any exchange, broker's board or office of Lender or elsewhere
upon such terms and conditions as it may deem advisable and at such prices as it
may deem best, for cash or on credit or for future delivery without assumption
of any credit risk. Lender shall have the right upon any such public sale or
sales, and, to the extent permitted by law, upon any such private sale or sales,
to purchase the whole or any part of the Collateral so sold, free of any right
or equity of redemption in Borrower, which right or equity is hereby waived or
released. Borrower further agrees, at Lender's request, to assemble the
Collateral and make it available to Lender at places which Lender shall
reasonably select, whether at Borrower's premises or elsewhere. Lender shall
apply the net proceeds of any such collection, recovery, receipt, appropriation,
realization or sale, after deducting all reasonable costs and expenses of every
kind incurred therein or incidental to the care or safekeeping of any of the
Collateral or in any way relating to the Collateral or the rights of Lender
hereunder, including without limitation reasonable attorneys' fees and
disbursements, to the payment in whole or in part of the Secured Obligations, in
such order as Lender may elect, and only after such application and after the
payment by Lender of any other amount required or permitted by any provision of
law, including without limitation Section 9-608 (a)(1)(c) of the Uniform
Commercial Code, need Lender account for the surplus, if any, to Borrower. To
the extent permitted by applicable law, Borrower waives all claims, damages and
demands it may acquire against Lender arising out of the exercise by Lender of
any of its rights hereunder, other than those claims, damages and demands
arising from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of Lender. If any notice
of a proposed sale or other disposition of Collateral shall be required by law,
such notice shall be deemed reasonable and proper if given at least 10 days
before such sale or other disposition. Borrower shall remain liable for any
deficiency (plus accrued interest thereon as contemplated pursuant to Section
3.01(b) hereof) if the proceeds of any sale or other disposition of the
Collateral (net of costs incurred in connection with such sale or other
disposition) are insufficient to pay the Secured Obligations and the fees and
disbursements of any attorneys employed by Lender to collect such deficiency.
4.08. Limitation on Duties Regarding Preservation of Collateral.
Lender's duty with respect to the custody, safekeeping and physical preservation
of the Collateral in its possession, under Section 9-207 of the Uniform
Commercial Code or otherwise, shall be to deal with it in the same manner as
Lender deals with similar property for its own account. Neither Lender nor any
of its directors, officers or employees shall be liable for failure to demand,
collect or realize upon all or any part of the Collateral or for any delay in
doing so or shall be under any obligation to sell or otherwise dispose of any
Collateral upon the request of Borrower or otherwise.
4.09. Powers Coupled with an Interest. All authorizations and agencies
herein contained with respect to the Collateral are irrevocable and powers
coupled with an interest.
4.10. Release of Security Interest. Upon termination of this Loan
Agreement and the Conduit Loan Agreement and repayment to Lender of all Secured
Obligations and the performance of all obligations under the Loan Documents and
under the Conduit Loan Agreement, Lender shall release its security interest in
any remaining Collateral.
4.11. Release of Collateral. Provided that no Default or Event of
Default shall exist (other than one that (a) relates solely to the Collateral to
be released and (b) will be cured simultaneously with such release) and that
Borrower shall have paid all sums then due under the Loan relating thereto, upon
(i) Borrower's payment in full of the Asset-Specific Loan Balance with respect
to a portion of the Collateral and (ii) receipt by Lender of a written request
from Borrower for the release of such Collateral, Lender shall as soon as
practicable release (and Lender shall reasonably cooperate with Borrower to
facilitate reasonable escrow arrangements to facilitate a simultaneous release
of) the related Collateral Documents and the related Collateral and any liens
related thereto to Borrower or, to the extent necessary
-27-
to facilitate future savings of mortgage tax in states that impose mortgage
taxes, assign such liens as Borrower shall request; provided, that any such
assignments shall be without recourse, representation or warranty of any kind
except that Lender shall represent and warrant that such Collateral has not been
previously assigned by Lender. Lender shall with reasonable promptness, after a
written request from Borrower, execute any document or instrument necessary to
effectuate such release or assignment.
4.12. Substitution of Eligible Collateral. From time to time until the
Custodian is otherwise notified by the Lender, which notice shall be given by
the Lender only during the existence of an Event of Default, and with the prior
written consent of the Lender, the Borrower may substitute for one or more items
of Eligible Collateral constituting the Collateral with one or more substitute
items of Eligible Collateral having aggregate Collateral Value equal to or
greater than the Collateral Value of the Collateral being substituted for, or
obtain the release of one or more items of Collateral constituting Collateral
hereunder: provided that, after giving effect to such substitution or release,
the Secured Obligations then outstanding shall not exceed the Borrowing Base,
which determination shall be made solely by the Lender. In connection with any
such requested substitution or release, the Borrower will provide notice to the
Custodian and the Lender no later than 3:00 p.m. New York City time, on the date
of such request, specifying the items of Collateral to be substituted for or
released and the items of substitute Collateral to be pledged hereunder in
substitution thereof, if any, and shall deliver with such notice a Custodial
Identification Certificate and a revised Collateral Schedule indicating any
substitute Collateral.

be satisfactory to Lender in its sole discretion;
(e) Lender shall have received from Custodian a Trust Receipt, together

finance any Loans through the "repo market" or "lending market" with
traditional counterparties at rates which would have been reasonable prior
to the occurrence of such event or events;
(ii) an event or events shall have occurred resulting in the

Lender not being able to sell securities backed by mortgage loans at prices
which would have been reasonable prior to such event or events; or
(iii) there shall have occurred a material adverse change in the

obligations under this Loan Agreement;
(h) Drawdown Fee. Borrower shall have paid Lender from the proceeds of
the advance to be made in connection with such Loan, a Drawdown Fee calculated
on the amount of such Loan then being disbursed.
(i) Transaction Costs. Borrower shall have paid Lender from the
proceeds of the advance to be made in connection with such Loan, all Transaction
Costs for which bills have been submitted; provided, however, that nothing
herein shall be deemed to waive Borrower's obligation to pay all Transaction
Costs whether billed before or after the making of a Loan pursuant to which such
Transaction Costs were incurred.
(j) Other Documents. Lender shall have received such other documents,
and Borrower shall have taken such other action in order to perfect the security
interests created hereunder, as Lender or its counsel shall deem necessary.
Each request for a borrowing by Borrower hereunder shall constitute a

5.03. Additional Requirements.
-30-
(a) Borrower and Lender recognize and agree that the categories of
Collateral set forth in the Recital paragraph hereof and defined herein as
categories of assets which may be submitted by Borrower to Lender for review by
Lender as Eligible Collateral hereunder are general in nature and that the full
scope of such Collateral categories may be unknown. Consequently, the
appropriate requirements are not fully known for (i) the documents to be
provided by Borrower for underwriting and due diligence review by Lender and
(ii) submittals by Borrower in order to create and perfect a first priority
security interest in the Collateral. Therefore, Borrower and Lender agree that,
as a further condition precedent to funding a Loan in respect of any Collateral
hereunder, Borrower shall have delivered to Lender all information and documents
determined by Lender in good faith to be required for its underwriting and
examination of such Collateral and for the granting and perfection of a first
priority security interest therein.
(b) Without limiting the generality of the foregoing Section 5.03(a),
Borrower shall execute and deliver all documents necessary for the granting of a
first priority security interest in any Collateral determined by Lender to be
Eligible Collateral hereunder, including without limitation (i) all instruments
evidencing indebtedness payable to Borrower or pledged to Borrower as security
for a loan, (ii) all instruments granting or perfecting a security interest for
the benefit of Borrower or pledged to Borrower as security for a loan
(including, without limitation, collateral assignments, pledge agreements and
UCC financing statements), (iii) all instruments evidencing an interest in an
entity pledged to Borrower as security for a loan (including, without
limitation, partnership interests, shares of corporate stock, participation
interests, and other beneficial interests of any kind), (iv) all instruments
guaranteeing the repayment of indebtedness owed to Borrower, or pledged to
Borrower for the repayment of a Loan and (v) all agreements among holders of
debt or equity interests providing for a priority among such parties of
interests in related assets forming the basis of an item of Collateral.
5.04. Tax Opinion. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained
herein, Borrower hereby covenants and agrees to deliver to Lender no later than
August 3, 2001, "Tax Opinion" of Borrower's counsel, in such form as is
reasonably acceptable to Lender concluding that no Borrower will be treated as
engaged in a trade or business within the United States.
Section 6. Representations and Warranties.
Borrower represents and warrants to Lender that from and after the
First Anniversary and throughout the term of this Loan Agreement:
6.01. Existence. Borrower (a) is a company duly incorporated and
validly existing under the laws of the jurisdiction of its incorporation, (b)
has all requisite power, and has all governmental licenses, authorizations,
consents and approvals necessary to own its assets and carry on its business as
now being or as proposed to be conducted, except where the lack of such
licenses, authorizations, consents and approvals would not be reasonably likely
to have a Material Adverse Effect on its Property, business or financial
condition or prospects; and (c) is qualified to do business, validly existing
and is, to the extent determinable, in good standing, in all other jurisdictions
in which the nature of the business conducted by it makes such qualification
necessary, except where failure so to qualify would not be reasonably likely
(either individually or in the aggregate) to have a Material Adverse Effect on
its Property, business or financial condition or prospects.
6.02. Action. Borrower has all necessary power, authority and legal
right to execute, deliver and perform its obligations under each of the Loan
Documents to which it is a party; the execution, delivery and performance by
Borrower of each of the Loan Documents to which it is a party have been duly
authorized by all necessary action on its part; and each Loan Document to which
it is a party has been duly and validly executed and delivered by Borrower and
constitutes a legal, valid and binding obligation of Borrower, enforceable
against Borrower in accordance with its terms.
-31-
6.03. Litigation. There are no actions, suits, arbitrations,
investigations (including, without limitation, any of the foregoing which are
pending or threatened) or other legal or arbitrable proceedings affecting
Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries or affecting any of the Property of any of
them before any Governmental Authority that (i) questions or challenges the
validity or enforceability of any of the Loan Documents or any action to be
taken in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby, (ii) makes a
claim or claims in an aggregate amount greater than $5,000,000, (iii) which,
individually or in the aggregate, if adversely determined, could reasonably be
likely to have a Material Adverse Effect, or (iv) requires filing with the
Securities and Exchange Commission in accordance with the 1934 Act or any rules
thereunder.
6.04. No Breach. Neither (a) the execution and delivery of the Loan
Documents to which it is a party nor (b) the consummation of the transactions
therein contemplated in compliance with the terms and provisions thereof will
conflict with or result in a breach of the Borrower By-Laws or the certificate
of incorporation of Borrower, or any applicable law, rule or regulation, or any
order, writ, injunction or decree of any Governmental Authority, or any
Servicing Agreement or other material agreement or instrument to which Borrower
or any of its Subsidiaries is a party or by which any of them or any of their
Property is bound or to which any of them is subject, or constitute a default
under any such material agreement or instrument or result in the creation or
imposition of any Lien (except for the Liens created pursuant to this Loan
Agreement) upon any Collateral pursuant to the terms of any such agreement or
instrument.
6.05. Approvals. No authorizations, approvals or consents of, and no
filings or registrations with, any Governmental Authority or any securities
exchange are necessary for the execution, delivery or performance by Borrower of
the Loan Documents to which it is a party or for the legality, validity or
enforceability thereof, except for filings and recordings in respect of the
Liens created pursuant to this Loan Agreement.
6.06. Use of Proceeds; Margin Regulations. Neither the making of any
Loan hereunder, nor the use of the proceeds thereof, will violate or be
inconsistent with any provisions of Regulation T, U or X. In addition, no part
of the proceeds of any Loan will be used, whether directly, indirectly,
immediately, incidentally or ultimately (i) to purchase or carry any "margin
stock" within the meaning of Regulation U or to refund indebtedness originally
incurred for such purpose, or (ii) for any purpose which entails a violation of,
or is inconsistent with, such Regulation U or any other regulations of the Board
of Governors of the Federal Reserve System, or (iii) for any purposes prohibited
by any applicable law, order, rule, regulation, ordinance or similar code or
restriction. If requested by Lender, the Borrower, any applicable Affiliate or
Subsidiary of Borrower and the recipient of any portion of the proceeds all or
any portion of any Loan shall furnish to Lender a statement on Federal Reserve
Form G-3 referred to in Regulation U.
6.07. Taxes. Borrower and its Subsidiaries have filed all Federal
income tax returns and all other material tax returns that are required to be
filed by them and have paid all taxes due pursuant to such returns or pursuant
to any assessment received by any of them, except for any such taxes as are
being appropriately contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings
diligently conducted and with respect to which adequate reserves have been
provided. The charges, accruals and reserves on the books of Borrower and its
Subsidiaries in respect of taxes and other governmental charges are, in the
opinion of Borrower, adequate.
6.08. Investment Company Act. Neither Borrower nor any of its
Subsidiaries is an "investment company", or a company "controlled" by an
"investment company" within the meaning of the Investment Company Act of 1940,
as amended.
6.09. Collateral; Collateral Security.
-32-
(a) Borrower has not assigned, pledged, or otherwise conveyed or
encumbered any Collateral to any other Person other than an Additional Borrower,
and immediately prior to the pledge of such Collateral to Lender, unless
otherwise approved by Lender in writing, either Initial Borrower or the
applicable Additional Borrower, as the case may be, was the sole owner of such
Collateral and had good and marketable title thereto, free and clear of all
Liens, in each case except for Liens to be released simultaneously with the
Liens granted in favor of Lender hereunder. No Collateral pledged to Lender
hereunder was acquired by Borrower from an Affiliate of Borrower unless
otherwise approved by Lender in writing.
(b) The provisions of this Loan Agreement are effective to create in
favor of Lender a valid security interest in all right, title and interest of
Borrower in, to and under the Collateral.
(c) As to all other Collateral, upon receipt by Custodian of all
documents set forth in Lender's notice to Borrower and Custodian pursuant to
Section 2.03(b)(x) hereof, Lender shall have a fully perfected first priority
security interest therein and in Borrower's interest in the related Property.

items of Collateral constituting securities (as defined in Article 8 of the
Uniform Commercial Code) in accordance with Section 5.02 hereof and (ii) the
filing of financing statements on Form UCC-1 naming Lender as "Secured Party"
and Borrower as "Debtor", and describing the Collateral, in the jurisdictions
and recording offices for which security interests may be perfected in the
Collateral by the filing of UCC financing statements, the security interests
granted hereunder in the Collateral will constitute fully perfected first
priority security interests under the Uniform Commercial Code in all right,
title and interest of Borrower in, to and under such Collateral, and, without
limiting the foregoing, Lender will have a "securities entitlement" (as defined
in Article 8 of the Uniform Commercial Code) in the Collateral referenced in the
foregoing clause (i).
6.10. Chief Executive Office. Borrower's registered office is c/o
Caledonian Bank & Trust Limited, P.O. Box 1043 GT, Xxxxxxxxxx Xxxxx, 00 Xx. Xxxx

signature pages hereof.
6.12. True and Complete Disclosure. The information, reports, financial
statements, exhibits and schedules furnished in writing by or on behalf of
Borrower to Lender in connection with the negotiation, preparation or delivery
of this Loan Agreement and the other Loan Documents or included herein or
therein or delivered pursuant hereto or thereto, when taken as a whole, (x) do
not contain any untrue statement of material fact and (y) contain all statements
of material fact necessary to make the statements herein or therein, in light of
the circumstances under which they were made, true. All written information
furnished after the date hereof by or on behalf of Borrower to Lender in
connection with this Loan Agreement and the other Loan Documents and the
transactions contemplated hereby and thereby, will be true, complete and
accurate in every material respect, or (in the case of projections) based on
reasonable estimates, on the date as of which such information is stated or
certified. There is no fact known to the actual knowledge of a Responsible
Officer of Borrower, after due inquiry, that could reasonably be expected to
have a Material Adverse Effect that has not been disclosed herein, in the other
Loan Documents or in a report, financial statement, exhibit, schedule,
disclosure letter or other writing furnished to Lender for use in connection
with the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby.
6.13. ERISA. Each Plan to which Borrower or its Subsidiaries make
direct contributions, and, to the knowledge of Borrower, each other Plan and
each Multiemployer Plan, is in compliance in all material respects with, and has
been administered in all material respects in compliance with, the applicable
provisions of ERISA, the Code and any other Federal or State law. No event or
-33-
condition has occurred and is continuing as to which Borrower would be under an
obligation to furnish a report to Lender under Section 7.01(e) hereof assuming a
request therefor has been made by Lender.
6.14. Income Tax. Borrower is not and will not at any time prior to the
Termination Date (i) be considered to be engaged in a trade or business within
the United States, or (ii) enter into any transaction which may give rise to
gain that is taxable to Borrower under Section 897 of the Code.
Section 7. Covenants of Borrower. Borrower covenants and agrees with
Lender that, so long as any Loan is outstanding and until payment in full of all
Secured Obligations:
7.01. Financial Statements, Reports, etc. Borrower shall deliver to
Lender for itself and on behalf of CT Mezz II:
(a) the Monthly Statement;
(b) as soon as available and in any event within forty-five (45) days
after the end of each of the first three quarterly fiscal periods of each fiscal

applicable) as at the end of such period and the related unaudited
(consolidated, if applicable) statements of income and retained earnings and of
cash flows for Borrower and CT Mezz II (and its consolidated Subsidiaries, if
applicable) for such period and the portion of the fiscal year through the end
of such period, setting forth in each case in comparative form the figures for
the previous year, accompanied by a certificate of a Responsible Officer of
Borrower and CT Mezz II, which certificate shall state that said consolidated
financial statements fairly present the consolidated financial condition and

Subsidiaries, if applicable) in accordance with GAAP, consistently applied, as
at the end of, and for, such period (subject to normal year-end audit
adjustments);

Lender's in and to any of the Collateral against the claims and demands of all
persons whomsoever. Borrower may request from time to time, subject to Lender's
approval in Lender's sole determination, to sell participation interests in its
interests in items of Collateral, the sale of which participation interests
shall be arm's length transactions and subject to such terms and conditions as
Lender in its sole discretion shall require.
7.11. Limitations on Distributions. After the occurrence and during the
continuation of any Event of Default Borrower shall not make any payment on

detail to enable Lender to appropriately identify the Loan, or Loans, to which
any amount remitted applies, to Lender on each Business Day all principal
prepayments that Borrower has received during the previous Business Day in an
amount equal to the sum of the Asset-Specific Loan Balances being prepaid,
together with all interest due thereon through the date of such remittance, any

powers, and neither it nor any of its officers, directors, employees or agents
shall be responsible to Borrower for any act or failure to act hereunder, except
for its or their own gross negligence or willful misconduct.
Section 11. Miscellaneous.
11.01. Waiver. No failure on the part of Lender to exercise and no
delay in exercising, and no course of dealing with respect to, any right, power
or privilege under any Loan Document shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor

Loan Document preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of
any other right, power or privilege. The remedies provided herein are cumulative
and not exclusive of any remedies provided by law.

Agreement, all notices, requests and other communications provided for herein

mailed notice, upon receipt, in each case given or addressed as aforesaid.
11.03. Indemnification and Expenses.
(a) Borrower agrees to hold Lender, and its Affiliates and their
officers, directors, employees, agents and advisors (each an "Indemnified
Party") harmless from and indemnify any Indemnified Party against all
liabilities, losses, damages, judgments, costs and expenses of any kind which
may be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against such Indemnified Party
(collectively, the "Costs") relating to or arising out of this Loan Agreement,
the Note, any other Loan Document or any transaction contemplated hereby or
thereby, or any amendment, supplement or modification of, or any waiver or
consent under or in respect of, this Loan Agreement, the Note, any other Loan
Document or any
-40-
transaction contemplated hereby or thereby, that, in each case, results from
anything other than any Indemnified Party's gross negligence or willful
misconduct. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Borrower
agrees to hold any Indemnified Party harmless from and indemnify such
Indemnified Party against all Costs with respect to all Collateral Loans and
Equity Interests relating to or arising out of any violation or alleged
violation of any environmental law, rule or regulation or any consumer credit
laws, including without limitation the Truth in Lending Act and/or the Real
Estate Settlement Procedures Act, that, in each case, results from anything
other than such Indemnified Party's gross negligence or willful misconduct. In
any suit, proceeding or action brought by an Indemnified Party in connection
with any Collateral for any sum owing thereunder, or to enforce any provisions
of any Collateral Documents, Borrower will save, indemnify and hold such
Indemnified Party harmless from and against all expense, loss or damage suffered
by reason of any defense, set-off, counterclaim, recoupment or reduction or
liability whatsoever of the account debtor or obligor thereunder, arising out of
a breach by Borrower of any obligation thereunder or arising out of any other
agreement, indebtedness or liability at any time owing to or in favor of such
account debtor or obligor or its successors from Borrower. Borrower also agrees
to reimburse an Indemnified Party as and when billed by such Indemnified Party
for all such Indemnified Party's costs and expenses incurred in connection with
the enforcement or the preservation of such Indemnified Party's rights under
this Loan Agreement, the Note, any other Loan Document or any transaction
contemplated hereby or thereby, including without limitation the reasonable fees
and disbursements of its counsel. Borrower hereby acknowledges that,
notwithstanding the fact that the Note is secured by the Collateral, the
obligation of Borrower under the Note is a recourse obligation of the Borrower.
(b) Borrower agrees to pay as and when billed by Lender all of the
out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred by Lender in connection with the
development, preparation and execution of, and any amendment, supplement or
modification to, this Loan Agreement, the Note, any other Loan Document or any
other documents prepared in connection herewith or therewith. Borrower agrees to
pay as and when billed by Lender all of the out-of-pocket costs and expenses
incurred in connection with the consummation and administration of the
transactions contemplated hereby and thereby including without limitation (i)
all the reasonable fees, disbursements and expenses of counsel to Lender and
(ii) all the due diligence, inspection, testing and review costs and expenses
incurred by Lender with respect to Collateral under this Loan Agreement,

Agreement, any provision of this Loan Agreement may be modified or supplemented

of this Loan Agreement may be waived by Lender.

upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective
successors and permitted assigns.
11.06. Survival. The obligations of Borrower under Sections 3.03 and
11.03 hereof shall survive the repayment of the Loans and the termination of
this Loan Agreement. In addition, each representation and warranty made or
deemed to be made by a request for a borrowing, herein or pursuant hereto shall
survive the making of such representation and warranty, and Lender shall not be
deemed to have waived, by reason of making any Loan, any Default that may arise
because any such representation or warranty shall have proved to be false or
misleading, notwithstanding that Lender may have had notice or knowledge or
reason to believe that such representation or warranty was false or misleading
at the time such Loan was made.
11.07. Captions. The table of contents and captions and section
headings appearing herein are included solely for convenience of reference and

of counterparts, all of which taken together shall constitute one and the same
instrument, and any of the parties hereto may execute this Loan Agreement by
signing any such counterpart.

PROCEEDING RELATING TO THIS LOAN AGREEMENT, THE NOTE AND THE OTHER LOAN
DOCUMENTS, OR FOR RECOGNITION AND ENFORCEMENT OF ANY JUDGMENT IN RESPECT
THEREOF, TO THE NON-EXCLUSIVE GENERAL JURISDICTION OF THE COURTS OF THE STATE OF
NEW YORK, THE FEDERAL COURTS OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA FOR THE SOUTHERN
DISTRICT OF NEW YORK, AND APPELLATE COURTS FROM ANY THEREOF;
(B) CONSENTS THAT ANY SUCH ACTION OR PROCEEDING MAY BE BROUGHT IN SUCH
COURTS AND, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, WAIVES ANY OBJECTION THAT IT MAY NOW

(C) AGREES THAT SERVICE OF PROCESS IN ANY SUCH ACTION OR PROCEEDING MAY
BE EFFECTED BY MAILING A COPY THEREOF BY REGISTERED OR CERTIFIED MAIL (OR ANY
SUBSTANTIALLY SIMILAR FORM OF MAIL), POSTAGE PREPAID, TO ITS ADDRESS SET FORTH
UNDER ITS SIGNATURE BELOW OR AT SUCH OTHER ADDRESS OF WHICH LENDER SHALL HAVE
BEEN NOTIFIED; AND
(D) AGREES THAT NOTHING HEREIN SHALL AFFECT THE RIGHT TO EFFECT SERVICE
OF PROCESS IN ANY OTHER MANNER PERMITTED BY LAW OR SHALL LIMIT THE RIGHT TO XXX
IN ANY OTHER JURISDICTION.
11.11. WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. EACH OF BORROWER AND LENDER HEREBY
IRREVOCABLY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY AND
ALL RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LEGAL PROCEEDING ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO
THIS LOAN AGREEMENT, ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED

(c) no joint venture exists between Lender and Borrower.
11.13. Hypothecation or Pledge of Loans. Lender shall have free and
unrestricted use of all Collateral and nothing in this Loan Agreement shall
preclude Lender from engaging in repurchase
-42-
transactions with the Collateral or otherwise pledging, repledging,
transferring, hypothecating, or rehypothecating the Collateral or pledging or
otherwise transferring its rights to payment hereunder in respect of any Loan
made hereunder; provided, that no action by Lender referred to in this sentence
shall confer on any Person other than Lender any right against Borrower to
require any prepayment under Section 2.04 hereof or any right to enforce against
Borrower any other provision of this Loan Agreement, but may grant to any Person
the right to require Lender to enforce any such provisions. Nothing contained in
this Loan Agreement shall obligate Lender to segregate any Collateral delivered
to Lender by Borrower.
11.14. Servicing.
(a) Borrower covenants to maintain or cause the servicing of the
Collateral to be maintained with respect to each type of Collateral pledged to
Lender hereunder in conformity with accepted and prudent servicing practices in
the industry for such same type of Collateral and in a manner at least equal in
quality to the servicing Borrower provides for assets similar to such Collateral
which it owns. In the event that the preceding language is interpreted as
constituting one or more servicing contracts, each such servicing contract shall
terminate automatically upon the earliest of (i) an Event of Default, (ii) the
date on which all the Secured Obligations have been paid in full or (iii) the
transfer of servicing approved by Borrower and Lender, which Lender's consent
shall not be unreasonably withheld. Midland Loan Services, Inc. ("Midland")
shall be the initial servicer.
(b) If the Collateral, or any portion thereof, is serviced by Borrower,
(i) Borrower agrees that Lender is the collateral assignee of all servicing
records, including but not limited to any and all servicing agreements, files,
documents, records, data bases, computer tapes, copies of computer tapes, proof
of insurance coverage, insurance policies, appraisals, other closing
documentation, payment history records, and any other records relating to or
evidencing the servicing of such Collateral (the "Servicing Records"), and (ii)
Borrower grants Lender a security interest in all servicing fees and rights
relating to such Collateral and all Servicing Records to secure the obligation
of Borrower or its designee to service in conformity with this Section and any
other obligation of Borrower to Lender. Borrower covenants to safeguard such
Servicing Records and to deliver them promptly to Lender or its designee
(including Custodian) at Lender's request.
(c) If the Collateral, or any portion thereof, is serviced by a third
party servicer (such third party servicer, the "Servicer"), Borrower (i) shall
provide a copy of the servicing agreement to Lender, which shall be in form and
substance acceptable to Lender (the "Servicing Agreement"); and (ii) hereby
irrevocably assigns to Lender and Lender's successors and assigns all right,
title, interest of Borrower in, to and under, and the benefits of, any Servicing
Agreement with respect to such Collateral. Any successor to the Servicer shall
be approved in writing by Lender prior to such successor's assumption of
servicing obligations with respect to such Collateral. The Travelers Real Estate
Investment Group ("Travelers") is hereby approved as a Servicer, subject to (x)
there having occurred no materially adverse change in Travelers' ability to
perform as Servicer prior to the date of Lender's approval hereunder of any
servicing agreement between Borrower and Travelers and (y) the satisfaction by
Borrower of clause (i) hereof and the delivery by Borrower to Lender of such
additional documentation as Lender may require to further evidence the security
interest granted to Lender by Borrower in Borrower's interest in any servicing
agreement entered into between Borrower and Travelers.
(d) Borrower shall provide to Lender a letter from Borrower (if
Borrower is the Servicer) or the Servicer, as the case may be, to the effect
that upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, Lender may terminate any
Servicing Agreement and transfer servicing to its designee, at no cost or
expense to Lender, it being agreed that Borrower will pay any and all fees
required to terminate the Servicing Agreement and to effectuate the transfer of
servicing to the designee of Lender.
-43-
(e) After the Funding Date, until the pledge of any Collateral is
relinquished by Custodian, Borrower will have no right to modify or alter the
terms of any of the documents pertaining to such Collateral and Borrower will
have no obligation or right to repossess such Collateral or substitute other
Collateral, except as provided in the Custodial Agreement; provided, however,
that so long as no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing,
Borrower may enter into such modifications of the terms of such documents as do
not, as to any individual item of Collateral, (i) result in a negative monetary
effect or (ii) constitute a material adverse effect.
(f) In the event Borrower or its Affiliate is servicing any Collateral,
Borrower shall permit Lender to inspect Borrower's or its Affiliate's servicing
facilities, as the case may be, for the purpose of satisfying Lender that
Borrower or its Affiliate, as the case may be, has the ability to service such
Collateral as provided in this Loan Agreement.
(g) Borrower shall cause the Servicer to provide a copy of each report
and notice sent to Borrower to be sent to Lender concurrently therewith.
11.15. Periodic Due Diligence Review. Borrower acknowledges that Lender
has the right to perform continuing due diligence reviews with respect to the
Collateral, for purposes of verifying compliance with the representations,
warranties and specifications made hereunder, or determining and re-determining
the Borrowing Base under Section 2.04(a) hereof, or otherwise, and Borrower
agrees that Lender, at its option, has the right at any time to conduct a
partial or complete due diligence review on any or all of the Collateral
securing the Loans, including, without limitation, ordering new credit reports
and Appraisals on the applicable Collateral and otherwise regenerating the
information used to originate such Eligible Collateral. Upon reasonable (but no
less than one (1) Business Day) prior notice to Borrower, Lender or its
authorized representatives will be permitted during normal business hours to
examine, inspect, and make copies and extracts of, the Collateral Files and any
and all documents, records, agreements, instruments or information relating to
such Collateral in the possession or under the control of Borrower and/or
Custodian. Borrower also shall make available to Lender a knowledgeable
financial or accounting officer for the purpose of answering questions
respecting the Collateral Files and the Collateral. Borrower agrees to cooperate
with Lender and any third party underwriter designated by Lender in connection
with such underwriting, including, but not limited to, providing Lender and any
third party underwriter with access to any and all documents, records,
agreements, instruments or information relating to such Collateral in the
possession, or under the control, of Borrower. Borrower further agrees that
Borrower shall reimburse Lender for any and all out-of-pocket costs and expenses
incurred by Lender in connection with Lender's activities pursuant to this
Section 11.15.
11.16. Intent. The parties recognize that each Loan is a "securities
contract" as that term is defined in Section 741 of Title 11 of the United
States Code, as amended.
11.17. Change of Borrower's State of Formation. If Borrower shall
change the State or Country under whose laws Borrower shall be incorporated and
organized, Borrower shall promptly provide Lender with a copy of its new
Declaration of Trust, Articles of Incorporation or similar document, certified
by the Secretary of State or other appropriate official of Borrower's new State
or Country of formation, if applicable, together with such opinions of counsel
regarding such change as Lender, in its sole discretion, shall require.
11.18. Set-Off. In addition to any rights and remedies of Lender
provided by this Loan Agreement and by law, Lender shall have the right, without
prior notice to Borrower, any such notice being expressly waived by Borrower to
the extent permitted by applicable law, upon any amount becoming due and payable
by Borrower hereunder (whether at the stated maturity, by acceleration or
otherwise) to set-off and appropriate and apply against such amount any and all
deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final), in any
currency, and any other credits, indebtedness or claims, in any currency, in
each case whether direct or indirect, absolute or contingent, matured or
-44-
unmatured, at any time held or owing by Lender or any Affiliate thereof to or
for the credit or the account of Borrower. Lender agrees promptly to notify
Borrower after any such set-off and application made by Lender; provided that
the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such set-off
and application.
11.19. Xxxxxx Xxxxxxx Downgrade. In the event (a) Xxxxxx Xxxxxxx Xxxx
Xxxxxx & Co.'s corporate bond rating as calculated by S&P or Xxxxx'x shall have
been lowered or downgraded to a rating below A- as indicated by S&P or below A3
as indicated by Xxxxx'x and (b) Borrower shall have repaid all amounts owing to
Lender under this agreement written ninety (90) days following such downgrade,
Lender shall refund to Borrower a portion of the sum of (i) the fee paid to
Lender pursuant to Section 5.01(a)(ii) hereof and (ii) the Maximum Credit
Increase Fee paid to Lender hereunder, if any, in an amount equal to the product
of (1) such sum multiplied by (2) 30 basis points (0.30%) multiplied by (3) the
quotient of (x) the number of days remaining to, and including, the Termination
Date divided by (y) the number of days from and after the date hereof to, and
including, the Termination Date.
11.20. Special Purpose Entity. Borrower shall: (a) not own any assets
nor engage in any business other than owning the assets and engaging in the
transactions specifically contemplated hereunder and under every other document
to be executed pursuant to this Loan Agreement; (b) not incur any indebtedness
or obligation, secured or unsecured, direct or indirect, absolute or contingent
(including any guarantee thereof), other than pursuant hereto; (c) not make any
loans or advances to any third party, and shall not acquire obligations or
securities of any of its Affiliates; (d) pay its debts and liabilities
(including, as applicable, shared personnel and overhead expenses) only from its
own assets; (e) comply with the provisions of its organizational documents; (f)
do all things necessary to observe organizational formalities and to preserve

documents, or suffer same to be amended, modified or otherwise changed without
the prior written consent of Lender which shall not be unreasonably withheld;
(g) maintain all of its books, records, financial statements and bank accounts
separate from those of its Affiliates; (h) be, and at all times will hold itself
out to the public as, a legal entity separate and distinct from any other entity
(including any of its Affiliates), shall correct any known misunderstanding
regarding its status as a separate entity, shall conduct business in its own
name, shall not identify itself or any of its Affiliates as a division or part
of the other and shall maintain and utilize separate stationary, invoices and
checks; (i) maintain adequate capital for the normal obligations reasonably
foreseeable in a business of its size and character and in light of its
contemplated business operations; (j) not engage in or suffer any change of
ownership, dissolution, winding up, liquidation, consolidation or merger in
whole or in part; (k) not commingle its funds or other assets with those of any
of its Affiliates or any other Person; (l) maintain its assets in such a manner
that it will not be costly or difficult to segregate, ascertain or identify its
individual assets from those of any of its Affiliates or any other Person; and
(n) cause each of its direct and indirect owners to agree not to (i) file or
consent to the filing of any bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization case or
proceeding with respect to Borrower; institute any proceedings under any
applicable insolvency law or otherwise seek any relief under any laws relating
to the relief from debts or the protection of debtors generally with respect to
Borrower; (ii) seek or consent to the appointment of a receiver, liquidator,
assignee, trustee, sequester, custodian or any similar official for Borrower or
a substantial portion of its properties; or (iii) make any assignment for the
benefit of Borrower's creditors.
11.21. Joint and Several Liability. In the event of the existence of an
Additional Borrower, Initial Borrower and each Additional Borrower hereby
acknowledge and agree that each entity shall be jointly and severally liable to
Lender for all representations, warranties, covenants, obligations and
indemnities of Borrower hereunder.

[FORM OF PROMISSORY NOTE]
$225,000,000.00 As of July 16, 0000
Xxx Xxxx, Xxx Xxxx
FOR VALUE RECEIVED, CTMP II FUNDING CORP. (MS), a company incorporated
under the laws of the Cayman Islands (the "Borrower"), hereby promises to pay to
the order of XXXXXX XXXXXXX & CO. INTERNATIONAL LIMITED (the "Lender"), at the
principal office of Lender at 0000 Xxxxxxxx, Xxx Xxxx, Xxx Xxxx, 00000, in
lawful money of the United States, and in immediately available funds, the
principal sum of TWO HUNDRED TWENTY-FIVE MILLION DOLLARS ($225,000,000.00) (or
such lesser amount as shall equal the aggregate unpaid principal amount of the
Loans made by Lender to Borrower under the Loan Agreement), on the dates and in
the principal amounts provided in the Loan Agreement, and to pay interest on the
unpaid principal amount of each such Loan, at such office, in like money and
funds, for the period commencing on the date of such Loan until such Loan shall
be paid in full, at the rates per annum and on the dates provided in the Loan
Agreement.
The date, amount and interest rate of each Loan made by Lender to
Borrower, and each payment made on account of the principal thereof, shall be
recorded by Lender on its books and, prior to any transfer of this Note,
endorsed by Lender on the schedule attached hereto or any continuation thereof;
provided, that the failure of Lender to make any such recordation or endorsement
shall not affect the obligations of Borrower to make a payment when due of any
amount owing under the Loan Agreement or hereunder in respect of the Loans made
by Lender.
This Note is the Note referred to in the CMBS Loan Agreement dated as
of July 16, 2001 (as amended, supplemented or otherwise modified and in effect
from time to time, the "Loan Agreement") between Borrower and Lender, and
evidences Loans made by Lender thereunder. Terms used but not defined in this
Note have the respective meanings assigned to them in the Loan Agreement.
Borrower agrees to pay all Lender's costs of collection and enforcement
(including reasonable attorneys' fees and disbursements of Lender's counsel) in
respect of this Note when incurred, including, without limitation, reasonable
attorneys' fees through appellate proceedings.
Notwithstanding the pledge of the Collateral, Borrower hereby
acknowledges, admits and agrees that Borrower's obligations under this Note are
recourse obligations of Borrower to which Borrower pledges its full faith and
credit.
Borrower, and any endorsers or guarantors hereof, (a) severally waive
diligence, presentment, protest and demand and also notice of protest, demand,
dishonor and nonpayment of this Note, (b) expressly agree that this Note, or any
payment hereunder, may be extended from time to time, and consent to the
acceptance of further Collateral, the release of any Collateral for this Note,
the release of any party primarily or secondarily liable hereon, and (c)
expressly agree that it will not be necessary for Lender, in order to enforce
payment of this Note, to first institute or exhaust Lender's remedies against
Borrower or any other party liable hereon or against any Collateral for this
Note. No extension of time for the payment of this Note, or any installment
hereof, made by agreement by Lender with any person now or hereafter liable for
the payment of this Note, shall affect the liability under this Note of
Borrower, even if Borrower is not a party to such agreement; provided, however,
that Lender and Borrower, by written agreement between them, may affect the
liability of Borrower.
Any reference herein to Lender shall be deemed to include and apply to
every subsequent holder of this Note. Reference is made to the Loan Agreement
for provisions concerning optional and mandatory prepayments, Collateral,
acceleration and other material terms affecting this Note.
