Collection Account, Expense Account and Reserve Account
(including any interest thereon) shall be released to Borrower
other than the amount of any Capital Event Proceeds and Loss
Proceeds which shall be applied to the Principal Indebtedness).
(v) Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the
contrary, if Lender delivers an Excess Proceeds Test Notice to Borrower, and if
within ten (10) Business Days of Borrower's receipt of such Excess Proceeds Test
Notice, Borrower shall deliver to Lender a written notice stating that Borrower
requests the determination of the fair market value of any one or more of the
REO Properties or Mortgaged Properties by an Appraiser selected by Lender, then
the following procedure shall apply:
(1) Lender shall direct the scope and the process of
determining such fair market value by the Appraiser which
process shall employ methods which are customary at such time
for the determination of the fair market value of property or
assets comparable to the Asset(s) to be valued;
(2) Borrower shall pay all fees and disbursements of
such Appraiser and shall cooperate with the Appraiser and
Lender in the process of determining such fair market value(s)
(including, without limitation, by making available to the
Appraiser any information reasonably requested from Borrower
and by assisting the Appraiser and Lender in determining such
fair market value(s) within ten (10) Business Days of
Borrower's notice);
(3) during the period of the Appraiser's determination
of the fair market value(s), no Excess Proceeds shall be
released from the Capital Sub-Account;
(4) if, using the Asset Values determined pursuant to
the Appraisal delivered by the Appraiser for the REO Properties
or Mortgaged Properties in question and otherwise using the
Asset Values determined by Lender, the Borrower satisfies the
Excess Proceeds Test, then such Excess Proceeds shall be
released from the Capital Sub-Account and applied to the
Principal Indebtedness or to pay the Excess Proceeds to
Borrower in accordance with Section 2.12(b)(ii); and
(5) If, using the Asset Values determined pursuant to
the Appraisal delivered by the Appraiser for the REO Properties
or Mortgaged Properties in question and otherwise using the
Asset Values determined by Lender, the Borrower does not
satisfy the Excess Proceeds Test, then such Excess Proceeds
shall be released from the Capital Sub-Account and applied
solely to the Principal Indebtedness in accordance with Section
2.12(b)(ii).
41
46
(c) Permitted Investments. The Borrower shall direct the

discretion of the Borrower, but in any event no later than the Business Day
immediately preceding the date on which such funds are required to be withdrawn
therefrom pursuant to Section 2.12(b) of this Agreement, (ii) after the

Default has occurred and is continuing, the Borrower shall not have any right to
direct investment of the balance in the Collection Account, (iii) all such
Permitted Investments shall be held in the name of the Collateral Agent on
behalf of the Collection Account, and (iv) if the Borrower shall fail to direct
the Collateral Agent with respect to Permitted Investments, the Collateral Agent
shall invest and reinvest any balance in the Collection Account in the type of
Permitted Investment described in clause (viii) of the definition of "Permitted
Investments". Lender and Collateral Agent shall have no liability for any loss
in investments of funds in the Collection Account that are invested in Permitted
Investments (unless, in the case of the Collateral Agent, invested contrary to
Lender's direction) and no such loss shall affect the Borrower's obligation to
fund, or liability for funding, the Collection Account. The Borrower shall
include all earnings on the Collection Account as income of the Borrower for
federal and applicable state tax purposes.

General Sub-Account of the Collection Account to satisfy the requirements of
Section 2.7(b). If the Loss Proceeds may be made available for restoration

rely and shall be protected in acting or refraining from acting upon any written
notice, instruction or request furnished to it hereunder and believed by it to

continuance of an Event of Default, without further written notice by the Lender
to the contrary.

Section 2.13. Security Agreement. (a) Pledge of Accounts. To
secure the full and punctual payment and performance of all of the Indebtedness,
the Borrower hereby assigns, conveys, pledges and transfers to the Collateral
Agent on behalf of the Lender, and grants a first and continuing security
interest in and to, the following property, whether now owned or existing or
hereafter acquired or arising and regardless of where located (collectively, the
"Account Collateral"):
(i) all of the Borrower's right, title and interest in the
Collection Account, the Reserve Account and the Expense Account and all
Money and Permitted Investments, if any, from time to time deposited or
held in the Collection Account, Reserve Account and Expense Account;
(ii) all interest, dividends, Money, Instruments and other
property from time to time received, receivable or otherwise payable in
respect of, or in exchange for, any of the foregoing until such time as
such items are disbursed from the Collection Account, Reserve Account
or Expense Account; and
(iii) to the extent not covered by clause (i) or (ii) above,
all Proceeds of any or all of the foregoing.
(b) Covenants. Each of the Collection Account, the Reserve
Account and the Expense Account shall be subject to such applicable laws, and
such applicable regulations of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve
System and of any other banking authority or Governmental Authority, as may now
or hereafter be in effect, and to the rules, regulations and procedures of the
Collateral Agent relating to demand deposit accounts from time to time in
effect.
(c) Financing Statements; Further Assurances. On the Closing
Date, the Borrower will execute and deliver to the Lender for filing a financing
statement or statements in connection with the Account Collateral in the form
required to properly perfect the Collateral Agent's security interest on behalf
of the Lender in the Account Collateral to the extent that it may be perfected
by such a filing. From time to time, at the expense of the Borrower, the
Borrower shall promptly execute and deliver all further instruments, and take
all further action, that the Lender may reasonably request, in order to perfect
and protect the pledge and security interest granted or purported to be granted
hereby, or to enable the Collateral Agent to exercise and enforce the Collateral
Agent's rights and remedies hereunder with respect to, any Account Collateral.
The Collateral Agent shall not be responsible for the determination of the
financing statements and other instruments necessary to perfect such security
interest or for the filing of such financing statements and other instruments at
the locations necessary to perfect such security interest and shall be entitled
to rely on an opinion of counsel to the Borrower as to perfection of such
security interest.
(d) Transfers and Other Liens. The Borrower shall not sell or
otherwise dispose of any of the Account Collateral other than pursuant to the
terms hereof, or create or permit to exist any Lien upon or with respect to all
or any of the Account Collateral, except for the Lien granted to the Collateral
Agent under this Agreement.
45
50
(e) No Waiver. Every right and remedy granted to the Collateral
Agent under this Agreement or by law may be exercised by the Collateral Agent at
any time and from time to time, and as often as the Collateral Agent may deem it
expedient. Any and all of the Collateral Agent's rights with respect to the
pledge of and security interest in the Account Collateral granted hereunder
shall continue unimpaired, and the Borrower shall be and remain obligated in
accordance with the terms hereof, notwithstanding (i) any proceeding of the
Borrower under the United States Bankruptcy Code or any bankruptcy, insolvency
or reorganization laws or statutes of any state, (ii) the release or
substitution of Account Collateral at any time, or of any rights or interests
therein or (iii) any delay, extension of time, renewal, compromise or other
indulgence granted by the Collateral Agent in the event of any Default with
respect to the Account Collateral or otherwise hereunder. No delay or extension
of time by the Collateral Agent in exercising any power of sale, option or other
right or remedy hereunder, and no notice or demand which may be given to or made
upon the Borrower by the Collateral Agent, shall constitute a waiver thereof, or
limit, impair or prejudice the Collateral Agent's right, without notice or
demand, to take any action against the Borrower or to exercise any other power
of sale, option or any other right or remedy.
(f) Collateral Agent Appointed Attorney-In-Fact. The Borrower
hereby irrevocably constitutes and appoints the Collateral Agent as the
Borrower's true and lawful attorney-in-fact, with full power of substitution, at
any time after the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of
Default, to execute, acknowledge and deliver any instruments and to exercise and
enforce every right, power, remedy, option and privilege of the Borrower with
respect to the Account Collateral, and do in the name, place and stead of the
Borrower, all such acts, things and deeds for and on behalf of and in the name
of the Borrower with respect to the Account Collateral, which the Borrower could
or might do or which the Lender may deem necessary or desirable to more fully
vest in the Collateral Agent the rights and remedies provided for herein with
respect to the Account Collateral and to accomplish the purposes of this
Agreement. The foregoing powers of attorney are irrevocable and coupled with an
interest.
(g) Continuing Security Interest; Termination. This Section
2.13 shall create a continuing pledge of and security interest in the Account
Collateral and shall remain in full force and effect until payment in full by
the Borrower of the Indebtedness. Upon payment in full by the Borrower of the
Indebtedness, the Borrower shall be entitled to the return, upon its request and
at its expense, of such of the Account Collateral as shall not have been sold or
otherwise applied pursuant to the terms hereof, and, upon written notification
by the Lender to the Collateral Agent that the Indebtedness has been paid in
full, the Collateral Agent shall release all Money held in any account held by
the Collateral Agent and shall execute such instruments and documents as may be
reasonably requested by the Borrower to evidence such termination and the
release of the pledge and lien hereof; provided, however, that the Borrower
shall pay on demand all of the Collateral Agent's expenses in connection
therewith (including reasonable attorneys' fees and disbursements).
(h) Right of Set-off. The Collateral Agent waives any and all
rights it may have at law or otherwise to set off or make any claim against the
Account Collateral, except for the payment of the Collateral Agent's fees and
expenses (including the reasonable fees and disbursements of the Collateral
Agent's counsel) for the maintenance of the Account Collateral.
46
51
Section 2.14. Mortgage Recording Taxes. The Lien to be created
by the Borrower Mortgage is intended to encumber the REO Property or Additional
Mortgageable Collateral described therein in an amount equal to the Loan Amount.
On the Closing Date, the Borrower shall, contemporaneously with filing the
Borrower Mortgage, pay all state, county and municipal recording and all other
taxes imposed upon the execution and recordation of the Borrower Mortgage.
Section 2.15. Extension Options. (a) Not later than the
September, 1999 Payment Date, Borrower, at its option, may notify the Lender in
writing that Borrower desires to extend the Maturity Date of the Loan to the

thereto.

Lender, to take such action on its behalf under the provisions of this Agreement
and to exercise such powers and perform such duties as are expressly delegated
to the Collateral Agent by the terms of this Agreement and the Custodial
Agreement, together with such other powers as are reasonably incidental thereto.
Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary elsewhere in this Agreement, the

period of five Business Days after the Borrower's receipt of written notice

47
52
have no obligation to, itself perform, or cause performance of, such covenant or
obligation, and the reasonable fees and expenses of the Collateral Agent
incurred in connection therewith shall be payable by the Borrower to the
Collateral Agent upon demand. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Collateral
Agent shall have no obligation to send written notice to the Borrower of any
such failure unless directed in writing to do so by the Lender, except that the
Collateral Agent shall not have the right set forth in this Section 2.16(b) to
perform unless such written notice has been sent to the Borrower.
(c) Standard of Care. Beyond the exercise of reasonable care in
the custody or disbursements thereof and the duty to act in accordance with the
terms of this Agreement, the Collateral Agent shall not have any duty as to any
Account Collateral or any income thereon in its possession or control or in the
possession or control of any agents for, or of the Collateral Agent, or the
preservation of rights against any Person or otherwise with respect thereto. The
Collateral Agent shall be deemed to have exercised reasonable care in the
custody of the Account Collateral in its possession if the Account Collateral is
accorded treatment in accordance with the Accepted Practices.
(d) Exculpatory Provisions. Neither the Collateral Agent nor
any of its officers, directors, employees, agents, attorneys-in-fact or
Affiliates shall be responsible in any manner to the Lender for any recitals,

thereof contained in this Agreement or any other Loan Document or in any
certificate, report, statement or other document referred to or provided for in,
or received by the Collateral Agent under or in connection with, this Agreement
or any other Loan Document or for the value, validity, effectiveness,
genuineness, enforceability or sufficiency of this Agreement, the Note or any
other Loan Document or for any failure of the Borrower to perform its
obligations hereunder or thereunder. The Collateral Agent shall not be under any
obligation to the Lender to ascertain or to inquire as to the agreements
contained in, or conditions of, this Agreement or any other Loan Document, or to
inspect the properties, books or records of the Borrower. The Collateral Agent
shall not be required to take any discretionary actions hereunder except at the
written direction of the Borrower and/or the Lender, it being understood and
agreed that the Collateral Agent's duties hereunder shall be wholly ministerial
in nature and the Collateral Agent shall not be responsible for calculating any
financial ratios or generating any reports for the Lender. The Collateral Agent
shall not be under any obligation or duty to perform any act which, in the
Collateral Agent's sole reasonable judgment, could involve it in expense or
liability or to institute or defend any suit in respect hereof, or to advance
any of its own monies, unless the Lender or the Borrower, as the case may be,
shall have offered to the Collateral Agent reasonable security or indemnity
against such expense, liability, suit or advance.
(e) Indemnification. The Borrower shall indemnify and hold the
Collateral Agent, and its agents, employees and officers harmless from and
against any loss, cost or damage (including, without limitation, reasonable
attorneys' fees and disbursements) incurred by the Collateral Agent in
connection with the transactions contemplated hereby, excluding any loss, cost
or damage arising as a result of Collateral Agent's failure to adopt and follow
Accepted Practices, bad faith, willful misconduct or violation of applicable
law. The indemnification set forth in this paragraph shall survive the
satisfaction and payment of the Indebtedness and the termination of this
Agreement.
48
53
(f) Collateral Agent's Reliance. The Collateral Agent shall be
entitled to rely, and shall be fully protected in relying, upon any note,
writing, resolution, notice, consent, certificate, affidavit, letter, cablegram,
telegram, telecopy, telex or teletype message, statement, order or other
document believed by it to be genuine and correct and to have been signed, sent
or made by the proper Person or Persons pursuant to the terms hereof and upon
advice and statements of legal counsel and other experts selected by the
Collateral Agent. The Collateral Agent may deem and treat the payee of the Note
as the owner thereof for all purposes unless a written notice of assignment,
negotiation or transfer thereof shall have been filed with the Collateral Agent.
The Collateral Agent shall be fully justified in failing or refusing to take any
action under this Agreement unless it shall first receive such advice or
concurrence of the Lender as it deems appropriate or it shall first be
indemnified to its satisfaction by the Lender against any and all liability and
expense which may be incurred by it by reason of taking or continuing to take
any such action. The Collateral Agent shall in all cases be fully protected in
acting, or in refraining from acting, under this Agreement in accordance with a
request of the Lender, and such request and any action taken or failure to act
pursuant thereto shall be binding upon the Lender and all future holders of the
Note.
(g) Notice of Default. The Collateral Agent shall not be deemed
to have knowledge or notice of the occurrence of any Default or Event of Default
hereunder unless the Collateral Agent has received written notice from the
Lender referring to this Agreement, describing such Default or Event of Default
and stating that such notice is a "notice of default". The Collateral Agent
shall take such action with respect to such Default or Event of Default as shall
be directed by the Lender, including any action under this Agreement.
(h) Non-Reliance on Collateral Agent. Neither the Collateral
Agent nor any of its officers, directors, employees, agents, attorneys-in-fact
or Affiliates has made any representations or warranties to the Lender and no
act by the Collateral Agent hereinafter taken (including any review of the
affairs of the Borrower) shall be deemed to constitute any representation or
warranty by the Collateral Agent to the Lender. Except for notices, reports and
other documents expressly required to be furnished to the Lender by the
Collateral Agent hereunder, the Collateral Agent shall not have any duty or
responsibility to provide the Lender with any credit or other information
concerning the business, operations, property, condition (financial or
otherwise), prospects or creditworthiness of the Borrower which may come into
the possession of the Collateral Agent or any of its officers, directors,
employees, agents, attorneys-in-fact or Affiliates.
(i) Removal and Resignation. The Collateral Agent shall have
the right to resign as collateral agent hereunder and each of the Lender and the
Borrower shall have the right to remove the Collateral Agent as collateral agent
hereunder, in each case upon 30 days' notice to the other parties to this
Agreement. In the event of such resignation, the Lender, or in the event of such
removal, the party initiating the removal shall appoint a successor Collateral
Agent with the consent of the Borrower in the case of a resignation or the
consent of the party not initiating the removal, in the case of a removal (in
any such case, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed). No such
removal of or resignation by the Collateral Agent shall become effective until a
successor Collateral Agent shall have accepted such appointment and executed an
instrument by which it shall have assumed all of the rights and obligations of
the Collateral Agent hereunder. If no such successor Collateral Agent is
appointed within 60 days after receipt of the
49
54
resigning Collateral Agent's notice of resignation or removal, the resigning
Collateral Agent may petition a court for the appointment of a successor
Collateral Agent. In connection with any removal of or resignation by the
Collateral Agent, (A) the removed or resigning Collateral Agent shall (1) duly
assign, transfer and deliver to the successor Collateral Agent this Agreement
and all Money and Permitted Investments held by it hereunder, (2) execute such
financing statements and other instruments as may be necessary to assign to the
successor Collateral Agent the security interest existing in favor of the
retiring Collateral Agent hereunder, and to otherwise give effect to such
succession and (3) take such other actions as may be reasonably required by the
Borrower, the Lender or the successor Collateral Agent in connection with the
foregoing and (B) the successor Collateral Agent shall establish in its name, as
agent for Lender, as secured party, a Collection Account and any other accounts
established pursuant to the terms of this Agreement.
(j) Individual Capacity. The Collateral Agent and its
Affiliates may make loans to, accept deposits from and generally engage in any
kind of business with the Borrower or any Affiliate, as though the Collateral
Agent were not the Collateral Agent hereunder, or under the other Loan
Documents.
Section 2.17 Reserve Account; Expense Account. (a) Purpose. On
or before the Closing Date, the Borrower shall establish and maintain with the
Collateral Agent an account which shall be an Eligible Account and shall be
designated the Reserve Account (the "Reserve Account") for the benefit of the
Lender until the Loan is paid in full. The Reserve Account shall be an Eligible
Account and shall be comprised of four sub-accounts: the "Capital Expenditure
Reserve Sub-Account", the "Interest Reserve Sub-Account", the "Tax and Insurance
Escrow Sub-Account" and the "Post-Closing Items Reserve Sub-Account"; provided,
however, that the Borrower and the Collateral Agent shall not be required to
establish the Capital Expenditure Reserve Sub-Account, the Interest Reserve
Sub-Account or the Tax and Insurance Escrow Sub-Account until the second
Business Day after the Lender notifies the Borrower and the Collateral Agent for
the first time that the Borrower is not in compliance with the LTV Test.
(b) Capital Expenditure Reserve Sub-Account. If the Borrower is
not in compliance with the LTV Test, pursuant to Section 2.12(b)(iii), the
Borrower shall deposit in the Capital Expenditure Reserve Sub-Account on each
Payment Date, the amount referred to in clause eighth of Section 2.12(b)(iii).
Any and all Moneys remitted to the Capital Expenditure Reserve Sub-Account,
together with any Permitted Investments in which such Moneys are or will be
invested or reinvested during the terms of this Agreement, shall be held in the
Capital Expenditure Reserve Sub-Account and shall be withdrawn by the Collateral
Agent promptly upon written request of Borrower to pay or reimburse any Re-
Leasing Costs, Replacement Reserve Costs and/or Capital Improvement Costs that
are in progress or have been completed by Borrower. Not less than three Business
Days prior to Borrower's delivery of a request to the Collateral Agent to
withdraw any funds from the Capital Expenditure Reserve Sub-Account, Borrower
shall provide the Lender with written notice (with a copy to the Collateral
Agent) of such request (including therein a statement of the purpose for the
withdrawal; a cross-reference, if applicable, to the Engineering Report,
Environmental Report or approved Operating Budget and copies of invoices and
other materials demonstrating the work done in connection with the Re-Leasing
Costs, Replacement Reserve Costs and/or Capital Improvement Costs for which
reimbursement or payment is sought by Borrower). With respect to any proposed
Capital Improvements Costs not identified in the Engineering Reports,
Environmental Reports or the
50
55
Operating Budget, Borrower may submit to the Lender and the Collateral Agent an
Officer's Certificate specifying in reasonable detail the Capital Improvement
Costs that Borrower desires to pay, or cause to be paid from the Capital
Expenditure Reserve Sub-Account, and, within five (5) Business Days of the
receipt of such Officer's Certificate, the Lender shall deliver to Borrower and
the Collateral Agent a written statement that sets forth the Capital Improvement
Costs that were specified in such Officer's Certificate which have been approved
by the Lender, such approval not to be unreasonably withheld. In the event the
Borrower funds the Capital Expenditure Reserve Sub-Account while out of

has been no change in the financial position of the Borrower or the Assets and
the Additional Collateral, or in the results of operations of the Borrower,

Internal Revenue Service, the United States Department of Labor or any court of
competent jurisdiction related to any Plan or Welfare Plan. No event has
occurred, and there exists no condition or set of circumstances, in connection
with any Plan or Welfare Plan under which the Borrower or any ERISA Affiliate,
directly or indirectly (through an indemnification agreement or otherwise),
could be subject to any material risk of liability under Section 409 or 502(i)
of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code. No Welfare Plan provides or will provide

Schedule is complete, true and correct in all material respects.
63
68
(B) Owner of Mortgage Loan. The Borrower is the sole owner and
holder of the Mortgage Loan (or in the case of the Mortgage Loans designated as
"Madison" and "Continuum" on the Asset Schedule, a participation interest
therein) free and clear of any and all Liens, claims, participations or
contingent interests, shared appreciation features, equities, pledges, charges
or security interests of any nature.
(C) Modifications. The terms of the Mortgage Note and the
Mortgage have not been altered, modified or waived in any material respect,
except by a written instrument which has been recorded, if necessary, to protect
the interest of the Lender and which has been delivered as part of the Pledge
Documents to the Lender. The Asset Schedule reflects all such alterations,
modifications and waivers with respect to the information set forth on the Asset
Schedule.
(D) Taxes, Assessments, etc; No Advances. All real estate
taxes, governmental assessments on real estate, water, sewer and municipal
charges, leasehold payments or ground rents which previously became due and
owing have been paid, or an escrow of funds has been established in an amount
sufficient to pay for every such item which remains unpaid and which has been
assessed but is not yet due and payable. Neither the Borrower nor any Affiliate
thereof has advanced funds, or induced, solicited or knowingly received any
advance of funds by a party other than the Mortgagor or an Affiliate thereof,
directly or indirectly, for the payment of any amount of principal or interest
required by the Mortgage.
(E) Proceedings. There is no proceeding pending or, to the
actual knowledge of the Borrower, threatened for the total or partial
condemnation of the Mortgaged Property.
(F) Enforceability; No Bankruptcy. The Mortgage Note, the
related Mortgage, any guarantees delivered in connection with the making of the
related Mortgage Loan and, in the case of the Mortgage Loan designated as "Life
Care" on the Asset Schedule, the purchase option provided for in the loan
documentation are genuine, and each is the legal, valid and binding obligation
of the maker thereof, enforceable in accordance with its terms, subject to the
provisions of bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or moratorium, or laws
relating to or affecting the rights of creditors generally, and principles of
equity, whether considered at law or in equity. No Mortgagor is a debtor in any
state or federal bankruptcy or insolvency proceeding.
(G) Future Advances. The proceeds of the Mortgage Loan have
been fully disbursed, there is no requirement for future advances thereunder and
any and all requirements as to completion of any on-site or off-site
improvements and as to disbursements of any escrow funds therefor have been
complied with. All costs, fees and expenses incurred in making, or closing or
recording the Mortgage Loans were paid or capitalized, and the Mortgagor is not
entitled to any refund of any amounts paid under the Mortgage Note or Mortgage.
(H) Title Policy. Each Mortgage Loan is covered by an ALTA
mortgagee title insurance policy or such other generally acceptable form of
policy in the jurisdiction where the Mortgaged Property is located, issued by
Commonwealth Land Title Company, Chicago Title Insurance Corporation, First
American Title Insurance Company or other title insurer acceptable to FNMA and
FHLMC and qualified to do business in the jurisdiction where the Mortgaged
Property is located, insuring the Borrower (or in the case of the Mortgage Loans
designated as
64
69
"Madison" and "Continuum" on the Asset Schedule, Madison Savings and Loan
Association or Borrower and Xerox Credit Corporation, respectively), its
respective successors and assigns, as to the first (or in the case of the
Lakeport Phase II independent living facility portion of the Mortgaged Property
related to the Mortgage Loan designated as "Life Care" on the Asset Schedule,
third) priority lien of the Mortgage, in an amount equal to or exceeding the
outstanding principal balance of the Mortgage Loan, subject to the Permitted
Encumbrances. Except for the Mortgage Loans designated as "Madison" and
"Continuum" on the Asset Schedule, the Borrower (or a predecessor in interest to
the Borrower) is the sole named insured of such mortgagee title insurance
policy, the assignment to the Lender of the Borrower's (or such predecessor's)
interest in such mortgagee title insurance policy does not require the consent
of or notification to the insurer, and such mortgagee title insurance policy is
in full force and effect. No claims have been made under such mortgagee title
insurance policy by any prior holder of the related Mortgage. No claims have
been made under such mortgagee title insurance policy by the Borrower, and the
Borrower has not done, by act or omission, anything that would impair the
coverage of such mortgagee title insurance policy.
(I) Defenses. No action of the Borrower has caused the Mortgage
Loan to be subject to any valid right of rescission, set-off, counterclaim or
defense (including the defense of usury), nor will the operation of any of the
terms of the Mortgage Note or the Mortgage, or the exercise of any right
thereunder, render either the Mortgage Note or the Mortgage unenforceable, in
whole or in part, or subject to any right of rescission, set-off, counterclaim
or defense (including the defense of usury), and no such valid right of
rescission, set-off, counterclaim or defense has been asserted in writing with
respect thereto.
(J) Ground Leases. Other than the Mortgaged Properties related
to the Mortgage Loans identified on the Asset Schedule as "Madison Building",
"Plaza Del Rio", and "Vine Street-Olympia" and "Vine Street-Town Square" (in the
case of each "Vine Street" Mortgaged Property, with respect to the parking annex
only), no Mortgage Loan is secured by a mortgage on a leasehold interest. With
respect to any Mortgage Loan that is secured in whole or material part by the
interest of a Mortgagor as a lessee under a ground lease of a Mortgaged Property
(in each case, a "Ground Lease"):
(i) such Ground Lease or memorandum thereof or a separate
agreement signed by the applicable lessor has been duly recorded; such
Ground Lease by its terms permits the interest of the lessee thereunder
to be encumbered by the related Mortgage; and there has been no
material change in the terms of such Ground Lease since its
recordations;
(ii) such Ground Lease is not subject to any Liens or
encumbrances other than the related Mortgage, subject to the Permitted
Encumbrances;
(iii) such Ground Lease is in full force and effect and no
default has occurred and is continuing under such Ground Lease;
(iv) the related leasehold Mortgage conforms and complies with
such Ground Lease, does not constitute a violation or default under the
Ground Lease, and is and shall at all times constitute a valid Lien
(subject only to Permitted Encumbrances) on Mortgagor's interest in and
under the Ground Lease;
65
70
(v) the Ground Lease grants any leasehold mortgagee standard
protections necessary to protect the security of a leasehold mortgagee
(including the right of the leasehold mortgagee to receive notice of
lessee's default under the Ground Lease, the right of the leasehold
mortgagee, with adequate time, to cure such default and, in the case of
incurable defaults of lessee, the right of the leasehold mortgagee to
enter into a new Ground Lease with lessor on the same terms as the
existing Ground Lease);
(vi) the Ground Lease has an original term which extends not
less than ten (10) years beyond the term of the leasehold Mortgage;
(vii) the fee estate of the lessor under the Ground Lease is
encumbered by the Ground Lease and, other than the Mortgaged Properties
related to the Mortgage Loans identified on the Asset Schedule as
"Madison Building" and "Plaza del Rio", the lien of any present or
future fee mortgages are and will be subject and subordinate to Ground
Lease; and
(viii) such Ground Lease may not be amended, modified, or
cancelled without the prior written consent of the leasehold mortgagee.
(K) Defaults. There is no default, breach, violation or event
of acceleration existing under the Mortgage or the Mortgage Note and, to the
actual knowledge of Borrower, no event which, with the passage of time or with
notice and the expiration or any grace or cure period, would constitute a
default, breach, violation or event of acceleration. Borrower has not waived any
default, breach, violation or event of acceleration.
(L) Lien; Priority. The Mortgage is a valid and enforceable
first (or in the case of the Lakeport Phase II independent living facility
portion of the Mortgaged Property related to the Mortgage Loan designated as
"Life Care" on the Asset Schedule, third) Lien on the Mortgaged Property and the
Mortgaged Property is free and clear of all encumbrances and Liens having
priority over the Lien of the Mortgage except for Liens for real estate taxes
and special assessments not yet due and payable, except for the Permitted
Encumbrances. Any security agreement, chattel mortgage or equivalent document
related to the Mortgage and delivered to the Lender establishes in the Borrower
a valid and enforceable first Lien on the property described therein, and the
Borrower has full right to assign the same pursuant to this Agreement.
(M) Release. No portion of the Mortgaged Property has been
released as collateral securing the Mortgage Loan. No instrument of release or
waiver has been executed in connection with the Mortgage Loan, and the Mortgagor
has not been released, in whole or in part.
(N) Mechanic's Liens. There are no mechanics or similar Liens
or claims which have been filed for work, labor or material (and no rights are
outstanding that under law could give rise to such Lien) affecting the Mortgaged
Property that are, or may be, Liens prior or equal to, or coordinate with, the
Lien of the Mortgage.
66
71
(O) Pledge Documents. The items listed on the Collateral
Agent's initial custodial receipt relating to the mortgage file have been
delivered to the Collateral Agent as custodian in accordance with the Custodial
Agreement.
(P) Hazard Insurance. The Mortgaged Property is covered by a
hazard insurance policy in an amount equal to one hundred (100%) percent of the
replacement cost of the improvements located thereon. The insurance policy is in
full force and effect, all premiums due thereunder have been paid and no notice
of cancellation of the insurance policy or non-payment of premiums issued by the
insurer has been received by the Borrower. The insurance policy is the valid and
binding obligation of the insurer and contains a standard mortgagee clause
naming the Borrower, its successors and assigns, as mortgagee. The Mortgage
obligates the Mortgagor to maintain all such insurance at Mortgagor's cost and
expense, and upon the Mortgagor's failure to do so, authorizes the holder of the
Mortgage to obtain and maintain such insurance at Mortgagor's cost and expense
and to seek reimbursement therefor from the Mortgagor.
(Q) Customary Remedies. The Mortgage contains customary and
enforceable provisions which render the rights and remedies of the holder
thereof adequate for the realization against the Mortgaged Property of the
benefits of the security, including, in the case of a Mortgage designated as a
deed of trust, by trustee's sale, and by judicial foreclosure. There is no
homestead or other exemption available to the Mortgagor which would materially
interfere with the right to sell the Mortgaged Property at a trustee's sale or
the right to foreclose the Mortgage.
(R) Hazardous Substances. The Mortgaged Property has neither
been used for the storage, treatment or disposal of Hazardous Substances, nor
been listed by any Governmental Authority as containing any Hazardous Substance.
(S) Zoning, Etc. No improvement located on or being part of the
Mortgaged Property is in violation of any applicable zoning law or regulation
which violation is reasonably likely to result in a Material Adverse Effect. All
inspections, licenses and certificates required to be made or issued with
respect to all occupied portions of the Mortgaged Property and, with respect to
the use and occupancy of the same, including but not limited to certificates of
occupancy and fire underwriting certificates, have been made or obtained from
the appropriate authorities and the Mortgaged Property is lawfully occupied
under applicable law.
(T) Escrow Payments. All escrow payments required under the
Mortgage are in possession of the Borrower, except to the extent applied as
permitted in the Mortgage. All escrow payments have been collected in compliance
with all applicable federal, state and local laws and regulations and the terms
of the Mortgage Note and the Mortgage. If funds are being escrowed, such escrow
of funds is not prohibited by applicable law. No escrow payments, deposits or
other charges or payments due to the Borrower have been capitalized under the
Mortgage Note or the Mortgage.
(U) Compliance. The Mortgage Loan has been originated and
serviced in accordance with, and meets or is exempt from, any and all applicable
federal, state and local laws, regulations and other requirements, including,
without limitation, usury, truth-in-lending,
67
72
real estate settlement procedures, consumer credit protection, equal credit
opportunity or disclosure laws as well as the terms of the respective Mortgage
Loan documents except for violations that are not reasonably likely to result in
a Material Adverse Effect. The collection and servicing practices used with
respect to the Mortgage Note and the Mortgage have been, in all respects, legal,
proper, prudent and customary in the mortgage servicing business except for
violations that are not reasonably likely to result in a Material Adverse
Effect. The servicing files and the information contained therein is correct and
complete in all material respects.

creates a valid and enforceable first priority Lien on the Subject Property
described therein, as security for the repayment of the Indebtedness, subject

Collateral Security Instrument establishes and creates a valid, subsisting and
enforceable Lien on and a security interest in, or claim to, the rights and
property described therein, to the extent of the Borrower's rights therein. All
property covered by any Collateral Security Instrument will be subject to a UCC
financing statement filed and/or recorded, as appropriate (or irrevocably
delivered to an agent for such recordation or filing) in all places necessary to
perfect a valid first priority Lien with respect to the rights and property that

and the commencement and expiration date of each such Lease and the rent
currently payable thereunder is accurately set forth on the Rent Roll. None of
such Leases has been assigned, modified, supplemented or amended in any way that
would render inaccurate any material information contained in the Rent Roll and,
except in connection with the Loan, the Borrower has not assigned, pledged or
hypothecated its right, title or interest in, to or under the Lease or of the
rentals thereunder. No tenant under any Lease has any right or option to

ARTICLE V
AFFIRMATIVE COVENANTS
Section 5.1. Borrower Covenants. The Borrower covenants and
agrees that, from the date hereof and until payment in full of the
Indebtedness:
(A) Existence; Compliance with Legal Requirements; Insurance.
The Borrower shall do or cause to be done all things necessary to preserve,
renew and keep in full force and effect its existence as a Florida corporation,
rights, licenses, Permits and franchises necessary for the conduct of its
business and comply with all Legal Requirements and Insurance Requirements
applicable to it and the REO Properties and the Additional Collateral, except
where the failure to comply is not reasonably likely to have a Material Adverse
Effect. The Borrower shall at all times maintain, preserve and protect all
franchises and trade names and preserve all the remainder of its property
necessary for the continued conduct of its business and keep the REO Properties
and the Additional Mortgageable Collateral in good repair, working order and
condition, except for reasonable wear and use, and from time to time make, or
cause to be made, all reasonably necessary repairs, renewals, replacements,
betterments and improvements thereto. The Borrower shall keep the REO Properties
and the Additional Mortgageable Collateral insured at all times, by financially
sound and reputable insurers, to such extent and against such risks, and
maintain liability and such other insurance, as is more fully provided in the
Borrower Mortgage.
(B) Impositions and Other Claims. The Borrower shall pay and
discharge all Impositions, as well as all lawful claims for labor, materials and
supplies or otherwise, which could become a Lien, all as more fully provided in,
and subject to any rights to contest contained
73
78
in, the Borrower Mortgage. The Borrower shall pay all Basic Carrying Costs with
respect to the Borrower and the REO Properties and the Additional Mortgageable
Collateral in accordance with the provisions of the Borrower Mortgage, subject,
however, to the Borrower's rights to contest payment of Impositions in
accordance with the Borrower Mortgage. The Borrower's obligation to pay Basic
Carrying Costs pursuant to this Agreement shall include, to the extent permitted
by applicable law, Impositions resulting from future changes in law which impose
upon the Lender an obligation to pay any property taxes or other Impositions or
which otherwise adversely affect the Lender's interests.
(C) Litigation. The Borrower shall give prompt written notice
to the Lender of any litigation or governmental proceedings pending or
threatened (in writing) against the Borrower that is reasonably likely to result
in a Material Adverse Effect.
(D) Environmental Remediation.
(i) If any investigation, site monitoring, cleanup,
removal, restoration or other remedial work of any kind or
nature is required pursuant to an order or directive of any
Governmental Authority or under any applicable Environmental
Law (collectively, the "Remedial Work"), because of or in
connection with the current or future presence, suspected
presence, Release or suspected Release of a Hazardous
Substance on, under or from an REO Property or Additional
Mortgageable Collateral or any portion thereof (in the
case of Additional Mortgageable Collateral only, in violation
of applicable Environmental Law), the Borrower shall
promptly commence and diligently prosecute to completion all
such Remedial Work, and shall conduct such Remedial Work in
accordance with the National Contingency Plan promulgated under
the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and
Liability Act, if applicable, and in accordance with other
applicable Environmental Laws. In all events, such Remedial Work
shall be commenced within 90 days after any demand therefor
by the Lender or such shorter period as may be required under
any applicable Environmental Law; provided,however, that the
Borrower shall not be required to commence such Remedial Work
within the above specified time periods: (x) if prevented
from doing so by any Governmental Authority, (y) if
commencing such Remedial Work within such time periods would
result in the Borrower or such Remedial Work violating any
Environmental Law or (z) if the Borrower, at its expense and
after prior notice to Lender, is contesting by
appropriate legal, administrative or other proceedings
conducted in good faith and with due diligence the need to
perform Remedial Work, as long as (1) the Borrower is permitted
by the applicable Environmental Laws to delay performance of
the Remedial Work pending such proceedings, (2) neither the REO
Property or Additional Mortgageable Collateral, as applicable,
nor any part thereof or interest therein will be sold,
forfeited or lost if the Borrower performs the Remedial Work
being contested, and the Borrower would have the opportunity to
do so, in the event of the Borrower's failure to prevail in the
contest, (3) the Lender would not, by virtue of such permitted
contest, be exposed to any risk of any civil liability for
which the Borrower has not furnished additional security as
provided in clause (4) below, or to any risk of criminal
liability, and neither the REO Property or Additional
Mortgageable Collateral, as applicable, nor any interest therein
would be subject to the imposition of any lien for which the
Borrower has not furnished additional security as provided in
clause (4) below, as a result of the
74
79
failure to perform such Remedial Work and (4) the Borrower shall have
furnished to the Lender additional security in respect of the Remedial
Work being contested and the loss or damage that may result from the
Borrower's failure to prevail in such contest in such amount as may be
reasonably requested by the Lender.
(ii) If requested by the Lender, all Remedial Work under clause
(i) above shall be performed by contractors, and under the supervision
of a consulting Engineer, each approved in advance by the Lender which
approval will not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. All costs and
expenses reasonably incurred in connection with such Remedial Work
shall be paid by the Borrower. If the Borrower does not timely commence
and diligently prosecute to completion the Remedial Work, the Lender
may (but shall not be obligated to), upon 30 days prior written notice
to Borrower of its intention to do so, cause such Remedial Work to be
performed. The Borrower shall pay or reimburse the Lender on demand for
all expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees and disbursements,
but excluding internal overhead, administrative and similar costs of
the Lender) reasonably relating to or incurred by the Lender in
connection with monitoring, reviewing or performing any Remedial Work
in accordance herewith.
(iii) The Borrower shall not commence any Remedial Work under
clause (i) above, nor enter into any settlement agreement, consent
decree or other compromise relating to any Hazardous Substances or
Environmental Laws which is reasonably likely to have a Material
Adverse Effect without providing notice to the Lender as provided in
Section 5.1(F). Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the presence or
threatened presence of Hazardous Substances on, under or about any REO
Property or Additional Mortgageable Collateral poses an immediate
threat to the health, safety or welfare of any Person or the
environment, or is of such a nature that an immediate response is
necessary or required under applicable Environmental Law, the Borrower
may complete all necessary Remedial Work. In such events, the Borrower
shall notify Lender as soon as practicable and, in any event, within
three Business Days, of any action taken.
(E) Environmental Matters; Inspection.
(i) The Borrower shall not permit a Hazardous Substance to be
present on, under or to emanate from an REO Property or Additional
Mortgageable Collateral, or migrate from adjoining property controlled
by the Borrower onto or into an REO Property or Additional Mortgageable
Collateral, except under conditions permitted by applicable
Environmental Laws. In the event that such Hazardous Substances are
present on, under or emanate from an REO Property or Additional
Mortgageable Collateral (in the case of Additional Mortgageable
Collateral only, in violation of applicable Environmental Law), or
migrate onto or into the REO Property or Additional Mortgageable
Collateral (in the case of Additional Mortgageable Collateral only, in
violation of applicable Environmental Law), the Borrower shall cause
the removal or remediation of such Hazardous Substances, in accordance
with this Agreement and Environmental Laws (including, where
applicable, the National Contingency Plan promulgated pursuant to the
Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act).
The Borrower shall use best efforts to prevent, and to seek the
remediation of, any migration of Hazardous Substances onto or into an
REO Property or
75
80
Additional Collateral, from any adjoining property (in the case of
Additional Mortgageable Collateral only, in violation of applicable
Environmental Law).
(ii) Upon reasonable prior written notice, the Lender shall
have the right, except as otherwise provided under Leases, at all
reasonable times to enter upon and inspect all or any portion of a
Mortgaged Property, an REO Property or Additional Mortgageable
Collateral, provided that (1) such inspections shall not unreasonably
interfere with the operation or the tenants, residents or occupants of
such property and (2) with respect to any Mortgaged Property, (x) the
Borrower consents to such inspection, which consent shall not be
unreasonably withheld and (y) the Borrower has the right to allow such
access under any related Mortgage. If the Lender has reasonable grounds
to suspect that Remedial Work may be required, the Lender shall notify
the Borrower and, thereafter, may select a consulting Engineer to
conduct and prepare reports of such inspections (with notice to the
Borrower prior to the commencement of such inspection). The Borrower
shall be given a reasonable opportunity to review any reports, data and
other documents or materials reviewed or prepared by the Engineer, and
to submit comments and suggested revisions or rebuttals to same. The
inspection rights granted to the Lender in this Section 5.1(E) shall be
in addition to, and not in limitation of, any other inspection rights
granted to the Lender in this Agreement, and shall expressly include
the right (if the Lender suspects that Remedial Work may be required)
to conduct soil borings, establish ground water monitoring xxxxx and
conduct other customary environmental tests, assessments and audits.
(iii) The Borrower agrees to bear and shall pay or reimburse the
Lender on demand for all sums advanced and expenses incurred (including
reasonable attorneys' fees and disbursements, but excluding internal
overhead, administrative and similar costs of the Lender) reasonably
relating to, or incurred by Lender in connection with, the inspections
and reports described in this Section 5.1(E) (to the extent such
inspections and reports relate to any Mortgaged Property, REO Property
or Additional Collateral) in the following situations:
(x) If the Lender has reasonable grounds to believe, at
the time any such inspection is ordered, that there exists an
occurrence or condition that could lead to an Environmental
Claim;
(y) If any such inspection reveals an occurrence or
condition that is reasonably likely to lead to an
Environmental Claim; or
(z) If an Event of Default with respect to the Mortgaged
Property, REO Property or Additional Mortgageable Collateral
exists at the time any such inspection is ordered, and such
Event of Default relates to any representation, covenant or
other obligation pertaining to Hazardous Substances,
Environmental Laws or any other environmental matter.
(iv) Prior to the acquisition by Borrower of title to any
Mortgaged Property (whether as a result of, or by acceptance of a deed
in lieu of, foreclosure or otherwise) after the Closing Date, Borrower
shall obtain an Environmental Report with respect to
76
81
such Mortgaged Property and deliver a copy of same to the Collateral
Agent; provided, however, that Borrower shall not be required to obtain
such Environmental Report prior to acquisition of title if Borrower has
in its possession an Environmental Report dated less than twelve months
prior to the date on which Borrower shall acquire title to such
Mortgaged Property (a " Timely Environmental Report"); provided,
further, that notwithstanding Borrower's possession of a Timely
Environmental Report, Borrower shall obtain an Environmental Report of
such Mortgaged Property if there has been a material change in the
purpose for which the Mortgaged Property is used since the preparation
of the prior Environmental Report and the new purpose is reasonably
likely to create new risks of liabilities arising from Environmental
Laws that did not exist as a result of the prior purpose. Borrower
shall not acquire title to any Mortgaged Property after the Closing
Date unless such acquisition is not reasonably likely, based upon the
Environmental Report, to have a Material Adverse Effect.
(v) Borrower shall not obtain title to a Mortgaged Property as
a result of or in lieu of foreclosure or otherwise, and shall not
otherwise acquire possession of any Mortgaged Property, if as a result
of any such actions, Borrower or Lender would be considered to hold
title to, to be a "mortgagee-in-possession" of, or to be an "owner" or
"operator" of, such Mortgaged Property within the meaning of
Environmental Laws unless Borrower has previously determined, based on
a Timely Environmental Report that meets the requirements of the first
sentence of clause (iv) above that: (A) such Mortgaged Property is in
material compliance with applicable Environmental Laws and (B) there
are no circumstances present at such Mortgaged Property relating to the
Use, treatment, storage or disposal of any Hazardous Substances for
which investigation, testing monitoring, containment, clean-up or
remediation is reasonably likely to be required under any Environmental
Law.
(F) Environmental Notices. The Borrower shall promptly
provide notice to Lender of:
(i) any Environmental Claim asserted by any Governmental
Authority with respect to any Hazardous Substance on, in, under or
emanating from any Mortgaged Property, REO Property or Additional
Mortgageable Collateral, which might reasonably be expected to involve
remediation cost or liability greater than $50,000;
(ii) any proceeding, investigation or inquiry commenced or
threatened in writing by any Governmental Authority, against the
Borrower, with respect to the presence, suspected presence, Release or
threatened Release of Hazardous Substances from or onto, in or under

proceedings under the Comprehensive Environmental Response,
Compensation, and Liability Act, as amended, 42 U.S.C. Section 9601, et
seq.), which might involve remediation cost or liability greater than
$50,000;
(iii) all Environmental Claims asserted or threatened against
the Borrower, against any other party occupying any Mortgaged Property,
REO Property or Additional Mortgageable Collateral or any portion
thereof which become known to the Borrower or against any Mortgaged
Property, REO Property or Additional Mortgageable
Collateral,
77
82
which might reasonably be expected to involve remediation cost or
liability greater than $50,000;
(iv) the discovery by the Borrower of any occurrence or
condition on any Mortgaged Property, REO Property or Additional
Mortgageable Collateral or on any real property adjoining any Mortgaged
Property, REO Property or Additional Mortgageable Collateral which
could reasonably be expected to involve remediation cost or liability
greater than $50,000; and
(v) the commencement or completion of any Remedial Work with
respect to an REO Property or Additional Mortgageable Collateral.
(G) Copies of Notices. The Borrower shall transmit to the
Lender copies of any citations, orders, notices or other written communications
received from any Person and any notices, reports or other written
communications submitted to any Governmental Authority with respect to the

in, as a party if the Lender so determines, any legal or administrative
proceeding or action concerning any Mortgaged Property, REO Property, Additional
Mortgageable Collateral or any portion thereof under any Environmental Law, if,
in the Lender's reasonable judgment, the interests of the Lender will not be
adequately protected by the Borrower; provided, however, that the Lender shall
not participate in day-to-day decision making with respect to environmental
compliance. Borrower shall pay or reimburse the Lender on demand for all
reasonable sums advanced and expenses incurred (including reasonable attorneys'
fees and disbursements, but excluding internal overhead, administrative and
similar costs of the Lender) incurred by the Lender in connection with any such
action or proceeding.

91

Proceeds actually received by the Lender with respect to the Assets and the
Additional Collateral and applied in reduction of the Indebtedness evidenced by
the Note in accordance with the provisions of the Note, after payment by the
Borrower of all transaction costs and expenses and costs of enforcement.
(c) Upon the occurrence of any Event of Default and while the
Event of Default is continuing, the Lender may, but without any obligation to do
so and without notice to or demand on the Borrower and without releasing the
Borrower from any obligation hereunder, take any action to cure such Event of
Default in such manner and to such extent as the Lender may deem necessary to
protect the security of its Lien on any REO Property or Additional Collateral.
The Lender is authorized to enter upon any REO Property or Additional Collateral
upon reasonable notice to the Borrower for such purposes or appear in, defend,
or bring any action or proceeding to protect its interest in the REO Property or
Additional Collateral or to foreclose the Borrower Mortgage, Collateral
Assignments of Mortgage or Aircraft Distribution Assignment or collect the
Indebtedness, and the cost and expense thereof (including reasonable attorneys'
fees to the extent permitted by law), with interest at the Default Rate for the
period after notice from the Lender that such cost or expense was incurred to
the date of payment to the Lender, shall constitute a portion of the
Indebtedness, shall be secured by the Borrower Mortgage, Collateral Assignments
of Mortgage and Aircraft Distribution Assignment and shall be due and payable to
the Lender upon demand therefor.
Section 7.3. Remedies Cumulative. The rights, powers and
remedies of the Lender under this Agreement shall be cumulative and not
exclusive of any other right, power or remedy which the Lender may have against
the Borrower pursuant to this Agreement or the other Loan Documents executed by
or with respect to Borrower, or existing at law or in equity or otherwise. The
Lender's rights, powers and remedies may be pursued singly, concurrently or
otherwise, at such time and in such order as the Lender may determine in the
Lender's sole discretion. No delay or omission to exercise any remedy, right or
power accruing upon an Event of Default shall impair any such remedy, right or
power or shall be construed as a waiver thereof, but any such remedy, right or
power may be exercised from time to time and as often as may be deemed
expedient. A waiver of any Default or Event of Default shall not be construed to
be a waiver of any subsequent Default or Event of Default or to impair any
remedy, right or power consequent thereon. Notwithstanding any other provision
of this Agreement, the Lender reserves the right to seek a deficiency judgment
or preserve a deficiency claim, in connection with the foreclosure of the
Borrower Mortgage, Collateral Assignments of Mortgage or Aircraft Distribution
Assignment on any REO Property or Additional Collateral, to the extent necessary
to foreclose on other REO Property or Additional Collateral.
Section 7.4. Default Administration Fee. At any time after the
occurrence of an Event of Default and the acceleration of the Indebtedness, as
reimbursement and compensation for the additional internal expenditures,
administrative expenses, fees and other costs associated with actions to be
taken in connection with such Event of Default, and regardless of whether Lender
shall have commenced the exercise of any remedies pursuant to Section 7.2, the
Default Administration Fee shall be payable by Borrower to Lender upon demand.

MISCELLANEOUS
Section 8.1. Survival. This Agreement and all covenants,
agreements, representations and warranties made herein and in the certificates
delivered pursuant hereto shall survive the execution and delivery of this
Agreement, the making by the Lender of the Loan hereunder and the execution and
delivery by the Borrower to the Lender of the Note, and shall continue in full
force and effect so long as any portion of the Indebtedness is outstanding and
unpaid. Whenever in this Agreement any of the parties hereto is referred to,
such reference shall be deemed to include the successors and assigns of such
party. All covenants, promises and agreements in this Agreement contained, by or
on behalf of the Borrower, shall inure to the benefit of the respective
successors and assigns of the Lender. Nothing in this Agreement or in any other
Loan Document, express or implied, shall give to any Person other than the
parties and the holder of the Note, the Borrower Mortgage, the Collateral
Assignments of Mortgage, the Aircraft Distribution Assignment and the other Loan
Documents, and their legal representatives, successors and assigns, any benefit
or any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim hereunder.
Section 8.2. Lender's Discretion. Whenever pursuant to this
Agreement, the Lender exercises any right given to it to approve or disapprove,
or any arrangement or term is to be satisfactory to the Lender, the decision of
the Lender to approve or disapprove or to decide whether arrangements or terms
are satisfactory or not satisfactory shall (except as is otherwise specifically
herein provided) be in the sole discretion of the Lender and shall be final and
conclusive.
Section 8.3. Governing Law. (a) This Agreement was negotiated
in New York, and made by the Lender and accepted by the Borrower in the State of
New York, and the proceeds of the Note delivered pursuant hereto were disbursed
from New York, which State the parties agree has a substantial relationship to
the parties and to the underlying transaction embodied hereby, and in all
respects (including, without limitation, matters of construction, validity and
performance), this Agreement and the obligations arising hereunder shall be
governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of New York
applicable to contracts made and performed in such State and any applicable law
of the United States of America.
(b) Any legal suit, action or proceeding against the Lender or
the Borrower arising out of or relating to this Agreement shall be instituted in
any federal or state court in New York, New York. The Borrower hereby (i)
irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, any
objection which it may now or hereafter have to the laying of venue of any such
suit, action or proceeding brought in such a court and any claim that any such
proceeding brought in such a court has been brought in an inconvenient forum,
and (ii) irrevocably submits to the jurisdiction of any such court in any such
suit, action or proceeding.
Section 8.4. Modification, Waiver in Writing. No
modification, amendment, extension, discharge, termination or waiver of any
provision of this Agreement, the Note or any other Loan Document, or consent to
any departure by the Borrower therefrom, shall in any event
97
102
be effective unless the same shall be in a writing signed by the party against
whom enforcement is sought, and then such waiver or consent shall be effective
only in the specific instance, and for the purpose, for which given. Except as
otherwise expressly provided herein, no notice to or demand on the Borrower
shall entitle the Borrower to any other or future notice or demand in the same,
similar or other circumstances.
Section 8.5. Delay Not a Waiver. Neither any failure nor any
delay on the part of the Lender in insisting upon strict performance of any
term, condition, covenant or agreement, or exercising any right, power, remedy
or privilege hereunder, or under the Note, or of any other Loan Document, or any
other instrument given as security therefor, shall operate as or constitute a
waiver thereof, nor shall a single or partial exercise thereof preclude any
other future exercise, or the exercise of any other right, power, remedy or
privilege. In particular, and not by way of limitation, by accepting payment
after the due date of any amount payable under this Agreement, the Note or any
other Loan Document, the Lender shall not be deemed to have waived any right
either to require prompt payment when due of all other amounts due under this
Agreement, the Note or the other Loan Documents, or to declare a default for
failure to effect prompt payment of any such other amount.
Section 8.6. Notices. All notices, consents, approvals and
requests required or permitted hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall
be given in writing and shall be effective for all purposes if hand delivered to
the Person specified herein or sent by (a) certified or registered United States

comply with the technical requirements for notice under this Section 8.6 may
elect to waive any deficiencies and treat the notice as having been properly
given.
SECTION 8.7. TRIAL BY JURY. THE BORROWER, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT
THAT IT MAY LAWFULLY DO SO, WAIVES TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING,
INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, ANY TORT ACTION, BROUGHT BY ANY PARTY HERETO WITH
RESPECT TO THIS AGREEMENT, THE NOTE OR THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS.
98
103
Section 8.8. Headings. The Article and Section headings in
this Agreement are included herein for convenience of reference only and shall
not constitute a part of this Agreement for any other purpose.
Section 8.9. Assignment. The Borrower may not sell, assign or
transfer any interest in the Loan Documents or any portion thereof (including,
without limitation, the Borrower's rights, title, interests, remedies, powers
and duties hereunder and thereunder). The Lender shall have the right to assign
or participate this Agreement and/or any of the other Loan Documents and the
obligations hereunder to any Person. In the case of an Assignment by the Lender,
(a) the assignee shall have, to the extent of such Assignment, the same rights,
benefits and obligations as it would have if it were the original "Lender"
hereunder and (b) upon any such substitution of the Lender, a replacement
"Lender signature page" shall be executed by the Lender and attached to this
Agreement and thereupon become a part of this Agreement. Each potential assignee
or participant lender shall be required to sign a confidentiality agreement in
the form of Exhibit G hereto which shall provide for protection of all
proprietary and confidential information of the Borrower and the Lender shall
procure same and provide a copy to the Borrower. Subject to the preceding
sentence, each participating lender shall be entitled to receive all information
received by the Lender under this Agreement. The Borrower shall keep
confidential to the same extent as such potential assignee or participant lender
shall have agreed in such confidentiality agreement all information relating to
such proposed Assignment or Participation and the identity of such potential
assignee or participant. After the effectiveness of any Participation, the
Lender shall provide notice to the Borrower of the identity, address and other
pertinent information pertaining to the participant lender. Notwithstanding
anything in this Agreement to the contrary, after an Assignment by the Lender,
the "Lender" (prior to the Assignment) shall continue to have the benefits of
any rights or indemnifications and shall continue to have the obligations
contained herein which such Lender had during the period such party was "Lender"
hereunder.
Section 8.10. Severability. Wherever possible, each provision
of this Agreement shall be interpreted in such manner as to be effective and
valid under applicable law, but if any provision of this Agreement shall be
prohibited by or invalid under applicable law, such provision shall be
ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or invalidity, without
invalidating the remainder of such provision or the remaining provisions of this
Agreement. In any such event, the parties hereto shall negotiate in good faith
to agree upon a substitute provision that has the same economic effect.
Section 8.11. Preferences. The Lender shall have no obligation
to marshal any assets in favor of the Borrower or any other party or against or
in payment of any or all of the obligations of Borrower pursuant to this
Agreement, the Note or any other Loan Document. To the extent the Borrower makes
a payment or payments to the Lender for the Borrower's benefit, which payment or
proceeds or any part thereof are subsequently invalidated, declared to be
fraudulent or preferential, set aside or required to be repaid to a trustee,
receiver or any other party under any bankruptcy law, state or federal law,
common law or equitable cause, then, to the extent of such payment or proceeds
received, the obligations hereunder or part thereof intended to be satisfied
shall be revived and continue in full force and effect, as if such payment or
proceeds had not been received by Lender.
99
104
Section 8.12. Waiver of Notice. The Borrower shall not be
entitled to any notices of any nature whatsoever from the Lender or the
Collateral Agent except with respect to matters for which this Agreement or the
other Loan Documents specifically and expressly provide for the giving of notice
by the Lender to the Borrower and except with respect to matters for which the
Borrower is not, pursuant to applicable Legal Requirements, permitted to waive
the giving of notice. The Borrower hereby expressly waives the right to receive
any notice from Lender or the Collateral Agent with respect to any matter for
which this Agreement or the other Loan Documents does not specifically and
expressly provide for the giving of notice by Lender to Borrower.
Section 8.13. Remedies of Borrower. In the event that a claim
or adjudication is made that the Lender or its agents have unreasonably delayed
acting in any case where by law or under this Agreement, the Note, the Borrower
Mortgage, the Collateral Assignments of Mortgage or the other Loan Documents,
the Lender or such agent, as the case may be, has an obligation to act promptly,
the Borrower agrees that neither the Lender nor its agents shall be liable for
any monetary damages, and the Borrower's sole remedies shall be limited to
commencing an action seeking injunctive relief or declaratory judgment.
Section 8.14. Exhibits Incorporated. The information set forth
on the cover, heading and recitals hereof, and the Exhibits attached hereto, are
hereby incorporated herein as a part of this Agreement with the same effect as
if set forth in the body hereof.
Section 8.15. Offsets, Counterclaims and Defenses. Any assignee
of the Lender's interest in and to this Agreement, the Note, the Borrower
Mortgage and the other Loan Documents shall take the same free and clear of all
offsets, counterclaims or defenses which are unrelated to this Agreement, the
Note, the Borrower Mortgage, the Collateral Assignments of Mortgage and the
other Loan Documents which the Borrower may otherwise have against any assignor
or this Agreement, the Note, the Borrower Mortgage, the Collateral Assignments
of Mortgage and the other Loan Documents, and no such unrelated counterclaim or
defense shall be interposed or asserted by the Borrower in any action or
proceeding brought by any such assignee upon this Agreement, the Note, the
Borrower Mortgage, the Collateral Assignments of Mortgage and other Loan
Documents and any such right to interpose or assert any such unrelated offset,
counterclaim or defense in any such action or proceeding is hereby expressly
waived by the Borrower.
Section 8.16. No Joint Venture or Partnership. The Borrower and
the Lender intend that the relationship created hereunder be solely that of
borrower and lender. Nothing herein is intended to create a joint venture,
partnership, tenancy-in-common, or joint tenancy relationship between the
Borrower and the Lender nor to grant the Lender any interest in the REO
Property, Mortgaged Property or Additional Collateral other than that of
mortgagee or lender.
Section 8.17. Waiver of Marshalling of Assets Defense. To the
fullest extent the Borrower may legally do so, the Borrower waives all rights to
a marshalling of the assets of Borrower, and others with interests in the
Borrower, and of the Assets and the Additional Collateral, or to a sale in
inverse order of alienation in the event of foreclosure of the interests hereby
created, and agrees not to assert any right under any laws pertaining to the
marshalling of
100
105
assets, the sale in inverse order of alienation, homestead exemption, the
administration of estates of decedents, or any other matters whatsoever to
defeat, reduce or affect the right of the Lender under the Loan Documents to a
sale of any Assets or Additional Collateral for the collection of the
Indebtedness without any prior or different resort for collection, or the right
of the Lender to the payment of the Indebtedness out of the Net Proceeds of the
Assets and the Additional Collateral in preference to every other claimant
whatsoever.
Section 8.18. Waiver of Counterclaim. The Borrower hereby
waives the right to assert a counterclaim, other than compulsory counterclaim,
in any action or proceeding brought against it by the Lender or its agents.
Section 8.19. Conflict; Construction of Documents. In the event
of any conflict between the provisions of this Agreement and the provisions of
the Note, the Mortgages, the Collateral Assignments of Mortgages or any of the
other Loan Documents, the provisions of this Agreement shall prevail. The
parties hereto acknowledge that they were represented by counsel in connection
with the negotiation and drafting of the Loan Documents and that the Loan
Documents shall not be subject to the principle of construing their meaning
against the party which drafted same.
Section 8.20. Brokers and Financial Advisors. The Borrower and
the Lender hereby represent that they have dealt with no financial advisors,
brokers, underwriters, placement agents, agents or finders in connection with
the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (other than, in the case of the
Borrower, Chase Securities, Inc.). The Borrower and the Lender hereby agree to
indemnify and hold the other and the Collateral Agent harmless from and against
any and all claims, liabilities, costs and expenses of any kind in any way
relating to or arising from a claim by any Person that such Person acted on
behalf of the indemnifying party in connection with the transactions
contemplated herein. The provisions of this Section 8.20 shall survive the
expiration and termination of this Agreement and the repayment of the
Indebtedness.
Section 8.21. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed
in any number of counterparts, each of which when so executed and delivered
shall be an original, but all of which shall together constitute one and the
same instrument.
Section 8.22. Estoppel Certificates. The Borrower and Lender
each hereby agree at any time and from time to time upon not less than 15 days
prior written notice by the Borrower or the Lender to execute, acknowledge and
deliver to the party specified in such notice, a statement, in writing,
certifying that this Agreement is unmodified and in full force and effect (or if
there have been modifications, that the same, as modified, is in full force and
effect and stating the modifications hereto), and stating whether or not, to the
knowledge of such certifying party, any Default or Event of Default has occurred
and is then continuing, and, if so, specifying each such Default or Event of
Default; provided, however, that it shall be a condition precedent to Lender's
obligation to deliver the statement pursuant to this Section 8.22, that the
Lender shall have received, together with Borrower's request for such statement,
an Officer's Certificate stating that to the actual knowledge of the Borrower no
Default or Event of Default exists as of the date of such certificate (or
specifying such Default or Event of Default).
101
106
Section 8.23. Payment of Expenses. The Borrower shall pay all
Transaction Costs, which shall include, without limitation, (a) reasonable
out-of-pocket costs and expenses of the Lender in connection with (i) the
negotiation, preparation, execution and delivery of the Loan Documents and the
documents and instruments referred to therein and the diligence conducted in
connection with the Transaction, (ii) the creation, perfection or protection of
the Lender's Liens in the Collateral (including, without limitation, fees and
expenses for title and lien searches or amended or replacement Borrower
Mortgage, UCC Financing Statements or Collateral Security Instruments, title
insurance premiums and filing and recording fees, third party due diligence
expenses for the Assets and Additional Collateral plus travel expenses,
accounting firm fees and costs of the Appraisals, Environmental Reports (and an
environmental consultant), and the Engineering Reports), (iii) the negotiation,
preparation, execution and delivery of any amendment, waiver or consent relating
to any of the Loan Documents and the negotiation, preparation, execution and
delivery of any documents and instruments in connection with the SPE Transfer,
and (iv) the preservation of rights under and enforcement of the Loan Documents
and the documents and instruments referred to therein, including any
restructuring or rescheduling of the Indebtedness, (b) the reasonable fees,
expenses and disbursements of counsel to the Lender in connection with all of
the foregoing, (c) all fees and expenses of the Collateral Agent and (d)
Lender's reasonable out-of-pocket travel expenses in connection with site visits
contemplated in this Agreement. Prior to retention of third parties, the Lender
shall consult with the Borrower regarding the services required, the procurement
of good faith estimates, and the third parties selected to assure that costs
will be reasonable in scope and amount. Notwithstanding anything above to the
contrary, other than the Appraisals delivered in connection with the making of
the Loan and any updates, recertifications or new Appraisals delivered pursuant
to Section 2.12(b)(iv) or (v), the Borrower shall not have any obligation to pay
for the cost of Appraisals of the Assets or Additional Collateral.
Section 8.24. Non-Recourse. Anything contained herein, in the
Note or in any other Loan Document to the contrary notwithstanding, no recourse
shall be had for the payment of the principal or interest on the Note or for any
other Indebtedness hereunder or for any claim based hereon or thereon or
otherwise in respect hereof or thereof against (a) the Borrower, any partner,
agent, contractor, director, officer, member, consultant, manager, stockholder,
subscriber to capital stock, incorporator, beneficiary, participant, trustee or
advisor of the Borrower, any partner or member in the Borrower, or any partner
or member therein; (b) any legal representative, heir, estate, successor or
assign of any thereof; (c) any corporation (or any officer, director, employee
or shareholder thereof), partnership (or any partner thereof), individual or
entity to which any ownership interest in the Borrower shall have been
transferred; (d) any purchaser of any asset of the Borrower; or (e) any other
Person, for any deficiency or other sum owing with respect to the Note or any
other Indebtedness or arising under this Agreement or any Loan Document. It is
understood that the Note and any other Indebtedness under or with respect to
this Agreement and any other Loan Document may not be enforced against any
Person described in clauses (a) through (e) above; provided, however, that the
foregoing provisions of this paragraph shall not (i) prevent recourse to the
Assets, the Additional Collateral, any Borrower Mortgage, any Collateral
Assignment of Mortgage, the Aircraft Distribution Assignment, any Collateral
Security Instrument or other instrument or document which is pledged by the
Borrower to the Lender pursuant to the Loan Documents, (ii) in the event of any
actual fraud, misappropriation or misapplication of funds or intentional
misrepresentation, estop the Lender from instituting or prosecuting a legal
action or proceeding
102
107
or otherwise making a claim against the Person or Persons committing such actual
fraud, misappropriating or misapplying such funds, or making such intentional
misrepresentation, or the recipient or beneficiary of such actual fraud,
misappropriation or misapplication or intentional misrepresentation, whether or
not such Person, recipient or beneficiary, is any Person described in clauses
(a) through (e) above, for losses caused by such actual fraud, misappropriation
or misapplication or intentional misrepresentation, (iii) constitute a waiver,
release or discharge of any indebtedness or obligation evidenced by the Note or
secured by the Loan Documents, and the same shall continue until paid or
discharged in full, and (iv) prevent recourse to the Borrower if an Event of
Default occurs, the Lender forecloses on the Mortgage Loan identified on the
Asset Schedule as "Xxxxxxxxx" and the related Net Proceeds are applied to repay
the Indebtedness, but in such event only to the extent of the positive
difference, if any, between the Allocated Loan Amount of such Mortgage Loan and
such Net Proceeds (but not more than the amount of the Lien for unpaid taxes
encumbering the related Mortgaged Property as of the Closing Date); provided,
further, that the foregoing clause (iv) shall not be of any force or effect in
the event (1) the Lender reallocates the Allocated Loan Amount of the Mortgage
Loan identified on the Asset Schedule as "Xxxxxxxxx" pursuant to the right
granted in clause (ii) of the second sentence of Section 2.1(c) or reduces the
Asset Value of such Mortgage Loan based upon the Lien for unpaid taxes
encumbering the related Mortgaged Property as of the Closing Date not having
been discharged, paid off or otherwise removed in its entirety or (2) the
Principal Indebtedness of the Loan is less than the product of the aggregate
Asset Value and 70%, assuming for this purpose that the Lender is deemed to have
reduced the Asset Value of such Mortgage Loan based upon the same reason as
aforesaid.
