SECTION 3.34. Addition of Section 5.41. New Section 5.41 of the Credit Agreement is hereby added as follows:
SECTION 5.41. Controlled Accounts. The Loan Parties will deposit, and will instruct the Eligible Operator, as manager of the Borrowing Base Assets, to deposit all Account Assets (as defined below) into the Collateral Service Accounts. In accordance with the terms of the Control Agreement, all amounts deposited in the Collateral Service Accounts shall be automatically swept from the Collateral Service Accounts into the Master Concentration Account from which transfers shall be made, prior to a Monetary Default, to fund any presentments and withdrawals from the Operating Accounts requested by any Loan Party, such that the Collateral Service Accounts and the Operating Accounts shall be zero balance accounts. From and after the occurrence of any Monetary Default (as defined below), the deposit bank under the Control Agreement (i) shall disregard any Loan Party directions with respect to the Master Concentration Account and the Operating Accounts and block any withdrawals by the Loan Parties therefrom, and (ii) to the extent instructed by the Administrative Agent (which instructions shall be given in the Administrative Agent’s sole discretion), disburse funds from the Master Concentration Account, the Operating Accounts and the Reserve Accounts (subject to the terms of the Reserve Agreement) in order to fund the operating expenses of the Borrowing Base Assets incurred in the ordinary course of business. For a period of ninety (90) days following the date of such Monetary Default (the “Agent Disbursement Period”), the Administrative Agent may in its sole and absolute discretion (but without any obligation) (i) authorize the disbursement of funds from the Master Concentration Account, the Operating Accounts and the Reserve Accounts (subject to the terms of the Reserve Agreement) in order to fund the operating expenses of the Borrowing Base Assets incurred in the ordinary course of business, and (ii) exercise any or all of the remedies available under this Agreement, the Control Agreement, the Reserve Agreement or any other Loan Document. From and at any time after the completion of the Agent Disbursement Period, the Administrative Agent shall (i) cause all amounts collected in the Collateral Service Accounts and any amounts in the Master Concentration Account or the Operating Accounts to be applied (A) directly to prepayment of the Revolver Advances and the Obligations and (B) to fund the Reserve Accounts; and (ii) exercise any or all of the remedies available under this Agreement, the Control Agreement, the Reserve Agreement or any other Loan Document. For the purposes of this section, “Monetary Default” shall mean the failure of any Loan Party to pay when due any principal of any Advance (whether at maturity, upon acceleration or otherwise, including, without limitation, any Advance or portion thereof to be repaid pursuant to Section 2.11) or shall fail to pay any interest on any Advance within five (5) Domestic Business Days after such interest shall become due, or any Loan Party shall fail to pay any
15
fee or other amount payable under this Agreement or any other Loan Document within five (5) Domestic Business Days after such fee or other amount becomes due, including, without limitation, any Reserve Payments. For the purposes of this Section 5.41, “Account Assets” shall mean all amounts held or received by the Loan Parties or the Eligible Operator for the benefit of the Loan Parties related to, arising from or in connection with the Borrowing Base Assets, including, without limitation, any Accounts (as defined in the Security Agreement and including, without limitation, all amounts related to room rental revenue).
SECTION 3.35. Addition of Section 5.42. New Section 5.42 of the Credit Agreement is hereby added as follows:
SECTION 5.42. Reserves. The Administrative Agent will, and the Loan Parties authorize the Administrative Agent to, withdraw funds from the Operating Accounts and deposit such amounts in the Reserve Accounts to maintain reserves (the “Reserves”) to fund payment of Property Taxes (defined below), Property Insurance (defined below) and Minimum Improvements attributable to the Mortgaged Properties (the “Reserve Payments”). The Reserve Payments will be applied as provided herein and upon payment in full of all Advances and Obligations, all amounts held in the Reserve Accounts will be refunded to the Borrowers.
(a) Property Taxes. Subject to the Reserve Agreement, the Administrative Agent shall withdraw funds from the Operating Accounts each month in the amount of 1/12 of the total aggregate Property Taxes (such amount to be calculated as 105% of the applicable amount from the prior year if current year information is not available) (the “Monthly Tax Reserve”). The Administrative Agent will maintain such amounts in the Reserve Accounts and apply all amounts so received to the outstanding Property Taxes obligations of the Loan Parties. “Property Taxes” shall be defined as the taxes described in Section 2.12(c) of the Credit Agreement applicable to each Mortgaged Property. So long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, after payment of the Property Taxes for any Fiscal Year, any surplus remaining in the applicable Reserve Account shall be, at the sole option of the Loan Parties, (i) returned to the Master Concentration Account or (ii) applied to the subsequent Monthly Tax Reserve for such Loan Party and the Monthly Tax Reserve shall be reduced accordingly.
Commencing the tenth (10 th) Domestic Business day of June, 2010, each Reserve Account for Property Taxes will be funded by the Loan Parties in the amounts described on Exhibit A for the duration indicated; thereafter, the Monthly Tax Reserve will be calculated as indicated above.
(b) Property Insurance. Subject to the Reserve Agreement, the Administrative Agent shall withdraw funds from the Operating Accounts
16
each month in the amount of 1/12 of the total aggregate Property Insurance (such amount to be calculated as 105% of the applicable amount from the prior year if current year information is not available) (the “Monthly Insurance Reserve”). The Administrative Agent will maintain such amounts in the Reserve Accounts and apply all amounts so received to the outstanding Property Insurance premiums of the Loan Parties. “Property Insurance” shall be defined as the insurance described in Section 5.17 of the Credit Agreement applicable to each Mortgaged Property. So long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, after payment of the Property Insurance for any Fiscal Year, any surplus remaining in the applicable Reserve Account shall be, at the sole option of the Loan Parties, (i) returned to the Master Concentration Account or (ii) applied to the subsequent Monthly Insurance Reserve for such Loan Party and the Monthly Insurance Reserve shall be reduced accordingly.
(c) Allowance for Minimum Improvements. Subject to the Reserve Agreement, the Administrative Agent shall withdraw funds from the Operating Accounts each month in the amount of 3% of the prior month’s monthly room revenues (the “Monthly Improvements Allowance”) as reported in the Monthly Room Report no earlier than two (2) Domestic Business Days after receiving such Monthly Room Report. The “Minimum Improvements Allowance” shall be defined as the aggregate of the Monthly Improvements Allowances for each applicable Mortgaged Property for the trailing twelve month period, as reasonably calculated by the Administrative Agent based upon the Monthly Room Reports provided by the Loan Parties for each Mortgaged Property. So long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, no more than once a month, the Borrowers shall be permitted to be reimbursed by the Administrative Agent from the Reserve Accounts maintained by the Administrative Agent for payment of the Minimum Improvements, up to the amount of the Minimum Improvements Allowance, for actual work expended for maintenance and other capital projects on Mortgaged Properties by third party contractors who are not an Affiliate of any Loan Party.
SECTION 4. Laurel Property. No later than thirty (30) Domestic Business Days after the Fifth Amendment Effective Date, the Administrative Agent shall procure an Appraisal for the Hotel Property located in Laurel, Maryland (at the sole cost and expense of the Loan Parties) and if such Appraisal values such Hotel Property for an amount more than Nine Million Dollars ($9,000,000), then Laurel Hotel Associates, LLC (and the other Loan Parties, as necessary) shall, within ten (10) Domestic Business Days of receipt of such Appraisal, execute and deliver all amendments to the Mortgaged Property Security Documents for such Hotel Property located in Laurel, Maryland necessary to secure the debt up to Appraised Value, all in a form satisfactory to the Administrative Agent in all respects.
17
SECTION 5. Other Appraisals. No later than ninety (90) days after the Fifth Amendment Effective Date, the Administrative Agent shall procure an Appraisal for each Hotel Property located in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, Jeffersonville, Indiana and Raleigh, North Carolina (at the sole cost and expense of the Loan Parties).
SECTION 6. Comfort Letter. No later than five (5) Domestic Business Days after the Fifth Amendment Effective Date, the Loan Parties shall provide a Franchisor Estoppel and Recognition Letter for the Hotel Property located in Jeffersonville, Indiana which is satisfactory to the Administrative Agent in all respects.
SECTION 7. Extension of Termination Date. Borrowers shall have the option to request an extension of (the “Option to Extend”) the Termination Date to May 8, 2012 (the “Extended Termination Date”), upon receipt by the Administrative Agent of written notice from the Borrowers of Borrowers’ request to exercise the Option to Extend, which notice shall be provided to the Administrative Agent no less than ninety (90) days prior to the Termination Date. The Administrative Agent and the Lenders shall consent to the Extended Termination Date, provided that the following conditions are satisfied in the reasonable discretion of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders: (a) as of the date of Borrowers’ delivery of notice of request to exercise the Option to Extend, and as of the Termination Date, no Default shall have occurred and be continuing, and no event or condition which, with the giving of notice or the passage of time or both, would constitute a Default shall have occurred and be continuing, and Borrowers shall so certify in writing; (b) prior to the Termination Date, Borrowers shall execute or cause the execution of all documents reasonably required by the Administrative Agent to exercise the Option to Extend and shall deliver to the Administrative Agent, at Borrowers’ sole cost and expense, such amendments to the Mortgaged Property Security Documents and endorsements to the Title Policies as reasonably requested by the Administrative Agent; (c) at least 60 days prior to the Termination Date, new Appraisals shall be obtained as to each Mortgaged Property, the cost of which shall be fully reimbursed to the Administrative Agent by the Borrowers whether or not the Extended Termination Date is approved; (d) prior to the Termination Date, the Borrowers shall pay an extension fee in the amount of 0.50% of the total outstanding Advances; (e) as of the effective date of the extension and at all times thereafter, the ratio of the aggregate principal amount of the Advances to the total Appraised Value of the Borrowing Base Assets shall be no more than .80; (f) as of the effective date of the extension and at all times thereafter, the Advances shall not exceed the total Extension Eligible Property Values (defined below) of the Borrowing Base Assets and (g) the renewal and extension of the maturity date of the financing related to the Hotel Property in Jacksonville, Florida, on terms and conditions reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent. If any Lender determines that the conditions set forth above are not satisfied, such Lender will provide the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent written notice and neither such Lender nor any of the other Lenders shall be obligated to consent to the Option to Extend. For the purposes of this Section 6, “Extension Eligible Property Value” shall mean, with respect to any Eligible Property included in the Borrowing Base, an amount equal to .70 multiplied by the Extension Asset Value of such Eligible Property. “Extension Asset Value” shall be determined as of the end of each Fiscal Quarter and shall mean the NOI of such Eligible Property for the Fiscal Quarter then ending and the immediately preceding three Fiscal Quarters divided by 10.0%.
