Borrower also understands that the findings and conclusions of any thirdparty due diligence report obtained by Lender or other Securitization Indemnified Parties may be made publicly available if required, and in the manner prescribed, by Section 15E(s)(4)(A) of the Exchange Act, any rules promulgated thereunder or any other applicable Legal Requirements.
(k)Β Β Β Β In connection with Lender's efforts to effect any Secondary Market Transaction, all reasonable out-of-pocket third party costs and expenses actually incurred by Borrower, Guarantor or their respective Affiliates pursuant to this Section 9 .1 (including, without limitation, the fees and expenses of the Rating Agencies) in connection with any such Secondary Market Transaction shall be reimbursed by Lender, and Borrower shall not be responsible for any of Lender's costs incurred in connection with any such Secondary Market Transaction.
Section 9.2.Β Β Β Β Securitization Indemnification. (a) Borrower understands that information provided to Lender by Borrower, Mortgage Borrower, or their agents, counsel and representatives may be included in Disclosure Documents in connection with a Securitization and may also be included in filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"), or the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"), and may be made available to investors or prospective investors in the Securities, the NRSROs and other advisory and service providers relating to a Securitization. In the event that any Disclosure Document is required to be revised prior to the sale of all Securities in connection with a Securitization, Borrower will cooperate with Lender (or, if applicable, the holder of the applicable interest in the Loan) in updating the Disclosure Document by providing all current information necessary to keep the Disclosure Document accurate and complete in all material respects.
(b)Β Β Β Β Borrower shall certify, in connection with any Disclosure Document provided to Borrower by Lender in connection with a Securitization, that Borrower has examined the provisions of such Disclosure Document, reasonably designated in writing by Lender for Borrower's review and pertaining to Borrower, Mortgage Borrower, Guarantor, Manager, the Collateral and/or the Property (which designation shall in no event include the descriptions or summaries of the terms and conditions of the Loan Documents) and any special risks or considerations relating thereto (but not including risks or special considerations relating to local or federal law) (the "Covered Disclosure Information") and such Covered Disclosure Information does not (except to the extent noted by Borrower in writing to Lender if Borrower does not agree with the statements therein), as of the date of such certification, contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements made, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading. Borrower hereby agrees to indemnify Lender, any Affiliate of Lender that has filed any registration statement relating to the Securitization or has acted as the issuer, the sponsor or
88
depositor in connection with a Securitization, any Affiliate of Lender that acts as an underwriter, placement agent or initial purchaser of the Securities issued in connection with a Securitization, any other issuers, depositors, underwriters, placement agents or initial purchasers of the Securities issued in connection with a Securitization, and each of their respective directors, officers, partners, employees, representatives, agents and Affiliates, and each Person that controls any such Person within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act (collectively, the "Securitization Indemnified Parties") for any liabilities, obligations, actual losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, claims, costs and expenses (collectively, the "Securitization Indemnification Liabilities") to which any Securitization Indemnified Party may become subject insofar as the Securitization Indemnification Liabilities arise out of or are based upon (i) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of any material fact contained in the Covered Disclosure Information or arise out of, or are based upon, the omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated in the Covered Disclosure Information or necessary in order to make the statements in the Covered Disclosure Information, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading and (ii) a breach of the representations and warranties made by Borrower in Section 3.1.34 of this Agreement (except that (A) Borrower's obligation to indemnify in respect of any information contained in a Disclosure Document that is derived in part from information provided by Borrower or any Affiliate of Borrower and in part from information provided by others unrelated to or not employed or engaged by Borrower shall be limited to any untrue statement or omission of material fact therein known to Borrower that results directly or indirectly from an error in any information provided (or which should have been provided) by Borrower and (B) Borrower shall have no responsibility under this Section 9.2 for (x) any untrue statements contained in any Disclosure Document to which Borrower or its authorized representative have objected to in writing to Lender so long as such objection is not inconsistent with information :furnished to Lender by or on behalf of Borrower in connection with the origination of the Loan or (y) numbers which have been submitted by Borrower and adjusted by any of the Securitization Indemnified Parties from those submitted by Borrower, to the extent of such adjustment). Borrower also agrees to reimburse each Securitization Indemnified Party, within ten (10) Business Days after request therefor, for any legal or other costs and expenses reasonably incurred by such Securitization Indemnified Party in connection with investigating or defending the Securitization Indemnification Liabilities. Borrower's liability under this paragraph will be limited to any such Securitization Indemnification Liability that arises out of or is based upon an untrue statement or omission made therein in reliance upon and in conformity with information :furnished to Lender by or on behalf of Borrower in connection with the preparation of the Disclosure Documents or in connection with the underwriting or closing of the Loan (including, without limitation, financial statements of Borrower, operating statements and rent rolls with respect to the Property). This indemnity provision will be in addition to any obligation or liability which Borrower may otherwise have.
(c)Β Β Β Β In connection with Exchange Act Filings and information therein or other reports containing comparable information that are required to be made "available" to holders of the Securities under Regulation AB or applicable Legal Requirements, as it relates to the Property, Borrower, Mortgage Borrower, Guarantor, any Affiliate of Borrower, Mortgage Borrower or Guarantor, Manager or any other aspect of the Loan, Borrower agrees to (i) indemnify the Securitization Indemnified Parties for Securitization Indemnification Liabilities to which any Securitization Indemnified Party may become subject insofar as the Securitization
89
Indemnification Liabilities arise out of, or are based upon, an untrue statement or omission made in reliance upon, and in conformity with, information furnished to Lender by or on behalf of Borrower in connection with the preparation of the Disclosure Document, in connection with the underwriting or closing of the Loan or any of the reports, statements or other information furnished by or on behalf of Borrower pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, including financial statements of Borrower, operating statements and rent rolls with respect to the Property and (ii) reimburse each Securitization Indemnified Party, within ten (10) Business Days of demand therefor, for any legal or other costs and expenses reasonably incurred by such Securitization Indemnified Party in connection with defending or investigating the Securitization Indemnification Liabilities.
(d)Β Β Β Β Promptly after receipt by a Securitization Indemnified Party of notice of any claim or the commencement of any action or suit, such Securitization Indemnified Party shall, if a claim for indemnification in respect thereof is to be made against Borrower, notify Borrower in writing of the claim or the commencement of such action or suit; provided, however, that the failure to notify Borrower shall not relieve Borrower from any liability which it may have under the indemnification provisions of this Section 9 .2 except to the extent that it has been materially prejudiced by such failure and, provided further that the failure to notify Borrower shall not relieve Borrower from any liability which it may have to any Securitization Indemnified Party otherwise than under the provisions of this Section 9.2. If any such claim, action or suit shall be brought against any Securitization Indemnified Party, and it shall notify Borrower thereof, Borrower shall be entitled to participate therein and, to the extent that it wishes, assume the defense thereof with counsel reasonably satisfactory to such Securitization Indemnified Party. After notice from Borrower to the applicable Securitization Indemnified Party of Borrower's election to assume the defense of such claim, action or suit, Borrower shall not be liable to such Securitization Indemnified Party for any legal or other costs and expenses subsequently incurred by such Securitization Indemnified Party in connection with the defense thereof except as provided in the following sentence; provided, however, if the defendants in any such action or suit include both Borrower, on the one hand, and one or more Securitization Indemnified Parties on the other hand, and a Securitization Indemnified Party shall have reasonably concluded that there are legal defenses available to it and/or other Securitization Indemnified Parties that are different or in addition to those available to Borrower, the Securitization Indemnified Party or Parties shall have the right to select separate counsel to assert such legal defenses and to otherwise participate in the defense of such action or suit on behalf of such Securitization Indemnified Party or Parties. Borrower shall not be liable for the reasonable costs and expenses of more than one (1) such separate counsel unless a Securitization Indemnified Party shall have reasonably concluded that there may be legal defenses available to it that are different from or additional to those available to another Securitization Indemnified Party. The Securitization Indemnified Party shall instruct its counsel to maintain reasonably detailed billing records for reasonable fees and disbursements for which such Securitization Indemnified Party is seeking or intends to seek reimbursement hereunder and shall submit copies of such detailed billing records to substantiate that such counsel's reasonable fees and disbursements are related solely to the defense of a claim for which Borrower is required hereunder to indemnify such Securitization Indemnified Party.
(e)Β Β Β Β Without the prior written consent of the applicable Securitization Indemnified Party (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed), Borrower
90
shall not settle or compromise or consent to the entry of any judgment in any pending or threatened claim, action, suit or proceeding in respect of which indemnification may be sought hereunder (whether or not any Securitization Indemnified Party is an actual or potential party to such claim, action, suit or proceeding) unless Borrower shall have given the applicable Securitization Indemnified Party reasonable prior notice thereof and shall have obtained an unconditional release of each Securitization Indemnified Party from all Securitization Indemnification Liabilities arising out of or relating to such claim, action, suit or proceeding. As long as Borrower has complied with its obligations to defend and indemnify hereunder, Borrower shall not be liable for any settlement made by any Securitization Indemnified Party without the consent of Borrower (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed).
(f)Β Β Β Β Borrower agrees that if any indemnification or reimbursement sought pursuant to this Section 9.2 is finally judicially determined to be unavailable for any reason or is insufficient to hold any Securitization Indemnified Party harmless (with respect only to the Securitization Indemnification Liabilities that are the subject of this Section 9.2), then Borrower, on the one hand, and such Securitization Indemnified Party, on the other hand, shall contribute to the Securitization Indemnification Liabilities for which such indemnification or reimbursement is held unavailable or is insufficient: (i) in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative benefits to Borrower, on the one hand, and such Securitization Indemnified Party, on the other hand, from the transactions to which such indemnification or reimbursement relates; or (ii) if the allocation provided by clause (i) above is not permitted by applicable law, in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not.only the relative benefits referred to in clause (i) above but also the relative faults of Borrower, on the one hand, and all Securitization Indemnified Parties, on the other hand, as well as any other equitable considerations. In determining the amount of contribution to which the respective parties are entitled, the following factors shall be considered: (A) the Securitization Indemnified Parties and Borrower's relative knowledge and access to information concerning the matter with respect to which the claim was asserted; (B) the opportunity to correct and prevent any statement or omission; and (C) any other equitable considerations appropriate in the circumstances. Lender and Borrower hereby agree that it would not be equitable if the amount of such contribution were determined by pro rata or per capita allocation. Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 9.2, (I) no Person found liable for a fraudulent misrepresentation shall be entitled to contribution from any other Person who is not also found liable for such fraudulent misrepresentation, and (II) Borrower agrees that in no event shall the amount to be contributed by the Securitization Indemnified Parties collectively pursuant to this Section 9.2(f) exceed the amount of the fees actually received by the Securitization Indemnified Parties in connection with the closing of the Loan.
(g)Β Β Β Β Borrower agrees that the indemnification, contribution and reimbursement obligations set forth in this Section 9.2 shall apply whether or not any Securitization Indemnified Party is a formal party to any claim, action, suit or proceeding. Borrower further agrees that the Securitization Indemnified Parties are intended third party beneficiaries under this Section 9.2.
(h)Β Β Β Β The liabilities and obligations of Borrower and the Securitization Indemnified Parties under this Section 9.2 shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the satisfaction and discharge of the Debt.
91
Section 9.3. Β Β Β Β Limitation on Obligations. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Article IX or any other provision of this Agreement (other than Sections 11.29 and 11.30 hereof) or any other Loan Document, but subject to Sections 11.29 and 11.30 hereof, none of Borrower, Guarantor or Manager shall be obligated to agree to any modification of the Note, this Agreement, the Pledge Agreement or the other Loan Documents, or of their respective Organizational Documents, or to take any other action, that would, in the aggregate (a) change the outstanding principal balance of the Loan; (b) change the weighted average interest rate (except that the weighted average interest rate may subsequently change due to involuntary prepayments or if an Event of Default shall occur); ( c) increase any scheduled amortization of the principal amount of the Loan; ( d) shorten the Maturity Date of the Loan, or provide for other or additional circumstances or events upon which Lender will be entitled to accelerate the maturity of the Loan; ( e) alter in any way the transfer restrictions relating to direct or indirect interests in the Collateral or the Property (including any equity interests in the direct or indirect owners of Mortgage Borrower or Borrower); (:f) affect the limitations on recourse against Borrower and Guarantor and any other exculpated parties under the Loan Documents; (g) increase the amounts of reserves or escrows; (h) affect the compensation payable to Manager; (i) affect Borrower's right to repay or prepay the Loan; G) affect Mortgage Borrower's right to enter into, modify or terminate Leases or contracts; (k) reduce the materiality thresholds (whether expressed in dollars or otherwise) appearing in any provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, including those relating to Alterations, casualty and condemnation; (l) increase any servicing or similar fee required to be paid or reimbursed by Borrower; (m) add additional Events of Default, or shorten any grace or cure period applicable to an existing Event of Default; (n) require Borrower or any other Person (i) to provide additional collateral security, credit support, indemnities or guaranties for or in respect of the Loan or (ii) to increase or expand the scope or extent of any existing security, credit support, indemnity or guaranty; ( o) violate or cause the violation of any existing agreement to which Borrower or any of its Affiliates is a party or any applicable Legal Requirements; or (p) materially increase any obligation or materially decrease any rights of Borrower, Guarantor, Manager or any Affiliate of the foregoing pursuant to any of the Loan Documents.

(b)Β Β Β Β Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default (other than an Event of Default described in Section 10.l(a)(vi), (vii) or (viii) above) and at any time thereafter, Lender may, in addition to any other rights or remedies available to it pursuant to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents or at law or in equity, take such action, without notice or demand, that Lender deems advisable to protect and enforce its rights against Borrower and in and to the Collateral, including, without limitation, declaring the Debt to be immediately due and payable, and Lender may enforce or avail itself of any or all rights or remedies provided in the Loan Documents and may exercise the rights and remedies of a secured party under the UCC against Borrower and the Collateral, including, without limitation, all rights or remedies available at law or in equity; and upon any Event of Default described in Section 10.l(a)(vi), (vii) or (viii) above, the Debt shall immediately and automatically become due and payable, without notice or demand, and Borrower hereby expressly waives any such notice or demand, anything contained herein or in any other Loan Document to the contrary notwithstanding.
Section 10.2.Β Β Β Β Remedies. (a) Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, all or any one or more of the rights, powers, privileges and other remedies available to Lender against Borrower under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents executed and delivered by, or applicable to, Borrower or at law or in equity may be exercised by Lender at any time and from time to time, whether or not all or any portion of the Debt shall be declared due and payable, and whether or not Lender shall have commenced any foreclosure proceeding or initiated or taken other action for the enforcement of its rights and remedies under any of the Loan Documents with respect to all or any part of the Collateral. Any such actions taken by Lender shall be cumulative and concurrent and may be pursued independently, singly, successively, together or otherwise, at such time and in such order as Lender may determine in its sole and absolute discretion, to the fullest extent permitted by law, without impairing or otherwise affecting the other rights and remedies of Lender permitted by law, equity or contract or as set forth herein or in the other Loan Documents. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Borrower agrees that, if an Event of Default has occurred and remains outstanding, (i) Lender is not subject to any "one action" or "election of remedies" law or rule, and (ii) all liens and other rights, remedies or privileges provided to Lender shall remain in full force and effect until Lender has exhausted all of its rights and remedies against the Collateral and the
95
Collateral has been foreclosed, sold and/or otherwise realized upon m satisfaction of the Obligations or the Debt has been paid in full.
(b)Β Β Β Β With respect to Borrower and the Collateral, nothing contained herein or in any other Loan Document shall be construed as requiring Lender to resort the Collateral or any portion thereof for the satisfaction of any of the Debt in any order, proportion or priority, and Lender may seek satisfaction out of all of the Collateral, or any part thereof, in its sole and absolute discretion in respect of the Debt. In addition, Lender shall have the right from time to time to partially foreclose upon the Collateral in any manner and for any amounts secured by the Pledge Agreement then due and payable as determined by Lender in its sole and absolute discretion including, without limitation, the following circumstances: (i) in the event Borrower defaults beyond any applicable grace period in the payment of one or more scheduled payments of principal and interest, Lender may foreclose upon the Collateral to recover such delinquent payments or (ii) in the event Lender elects to accelerate less than the entire Outstanding Principal Balance, Lender may foreclose upon the Collateral to recover so much of the principal balance of the_ Loan as Lender may accelerate and such other sums secured by the Pledge Agreement as Lender may elect. Notwithstanding one or more partial foreclosures, the Collateral shall remain subject to the Pledge Agreement to secure payment of sums secured by the Pledge Agreement and not previously recovered.
(c)Β Β Β Β Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default (but without limiting Lender's rights under Section 9.1, Section 11.29 or Section 11.30 hereof), Lender shall have the right from time to time to sever the Note and the other Loan Documents into one or more separate notes, mortgages, pledges and other security documents (collectively, the "Severed Loan Documents") in such denominations and priority as Lender shall determine in its sole and absolute discretion for purposes of evidencing and enforcing its rights and remedies provided hereunder. Borrower shall execute and deliver to Lender from time to time, promptly after the request of Lender, a severance agreement and such other documents as Lender shall request in order to effect the severance described in the preceding sentence, all in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Lender; provided, however, Borrower shall not be required, in the aggregate, to materially increase its obligations with respect to the Loan. Borrower hereby absolutely and irrevocably appoints Lender as its true and lawful attorney, coupled with an interest, in its name and stead to make and execute all documents necessary or desirable to effect the aforesaid severance, Borrower ratifying all that its said attorney shall do by virtue thereof; provided, however, Lender shall not make or execute any such documents under such power until three (3) days after notice has been given to Borrower by Lender of Lender's intent to exercise its rights under such power. Borrower shall be obligated to pay any costs or expenses incurred in connection with the preparation, execution, recording or filing of the Severed Loan Documents and other matters and documentation in connection therewith. The Severed Loan Documents shall not contain any representations, warranties or covenants not contained in the Loan Documents and any such representations and warranties contained in the Severed Loan Documents will be given by Borrower only as of the Closing Date.
(d)Β Β Β Β Any amounts recovered from the Collateral or any other collateral for the Loan after the occurrence of an Event of Default may be applied by Lender toward the payment of any principal and/or interest of the Loan and/or any other amounts due under the Loan
96
Documents in such order, proportion and priority as Lender in its sole and absolute discretion shall determine.
Section 10.3.Β Β Β Β Right to Cure Defaults. Lender may, but without any obligation to do so and without notice to or demand on Borrower and without releasing Borrower from any obligation hereunder or under the other Loan Documents or being deemed to have cured any Event of Default, make, do or perform any obligation of Borrower hereunder or under the other Loan Documents in such manner and to such extent as Lender may deem necessary. Lender is authorized to appear in, defend, or bring any action or proceeding to protect its interest in the Collateral for such purposes. All reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred by Lender in remedying or attempting to remedy such Event of Default or such other breach or default by Borrower or in appearing in, defending, or bringing any action or proceeding shall bear interest at the Default Rate from the date such costs and expenses were incurred to the date reimbursement payment is received by Lender. All such costs and expenses incurred by Lender, together with interest thereon calculated at the Default Rate, shall be deemed to constitute a portion of the Obligations, shall be secured by the liens and security interests provided to Lender under the Loan Documents and shall be immediately due and payable upon demand by Lender therefore.
Section 10.4.Β Β Β Β Remedies Cumulative. The rights, powers and remedies of Lender under this Agreement shall be cumulative and not exclusive of any other right, power or remedy which Lender may have against Borrower pursuant to this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, or existing at law or in equity or otherwise. Lender's rights, powers and remedies may be pursued singly, concurrently or otherwise, at such time and in such order as Lender may determine in Lender's sole and absolute discretion. No delay or omission to exercise any right, power or remedy accruing upon an Event of Default shall impair any such right, power or remedy or shall be construed as a waiver thereof, but any such right, power or remedy may be exercised from time to time and as often as may be deemed expedient. A waiver of one 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 right, power or remedy consequent thereon.
ARTICLE XI
MISCELLANEOUS
Section 11.1.Β Β Β Β Successors and Assigns. This Agreement and all agreements, covenants, representations and warranties in this Agreement, by or on behalf of Borrower, shall inure to the benefit of the legal representatives, successors and assigns of Lender. Lender or its designee, acting solely for purposes of this Section 11.1 as an agent of Borrower, shall keep a copy of each assignment of the Loan and maintain a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of each assignee and principal amount of the Loan owing to such assignee pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time. A copy of an endorsement of the Note (via an allonge or otherwise) payable to an assignee or to the order of an assignee shall be sufficient to evidence an assignment of the Loan to such assignee; provided that upon the request of such assignee, the Borrower shall execute a replacement Note payable to such assignee, whereupon the replaced Note shall be cancelled and returned to Borrower. Failure to make any such recordation, or any error in such recordation, shall not affect Borrower's obligations in respect of the Loan. The entries in such register
97
shall be deemed conclusive absent manifest error, and Borrower and Lender or its designee may treat each Person whose name is recorded in such register pursuant to the terms hereof as Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement. Such register shall be available for inspection by Borrower and Lender or its designee at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice. Borrower shall pay Lender or its designee for all costs and expenses incurred by Lender or its designee in connection with maintaining said register and facilitating inspections of same by Borrower.
Section 11.2.Β Β Β Β Lender's Discretion. Whenever pursuant to this Agreement Lender exercises any right given to it to approve or disapprove, or any arrangement or term is to be satisfactory to Lender, the decision of 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 Lender and shall be final and conclusive.

101
Section 11.9.Β Β Β Β 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.
Section 11.10.Β Β Β Β Preferences. Lender shall have the continuing and exclusive right to apply or reverse and reapply any and all payments by Borrower to any portion of the Obligations. To the extent Borrower makes any payment to Lender, 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 Person 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 or a portion 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.
Section 11.11.Β Β Β Β Waiver of Notice. Borrower shall not be entitled to any notices of any nature whatsoever from Lender except with respect to matters for which this Agreement or the other Loan Documents specifically and expressly provide for the giving of notice by Lender to Borrower and except with respect to matters for which Borrower is not, pursuant to the applicable Legal Requirements, permitted to waive the giving of notice. Borrower hereby expressly waives the right to receive any notice from Lender with respect to any matter for which this Agreement or the other Loan Documents do not specifically and expressly provide for the giving of notice by Lender to Borrower.
Section 11.12.Β Β Β Β Remedies of Borrower. In the event that a claim or adjudication is made that Lender or its agents have acted unreasonably or unreasonably delayed acting in any case where, by law or under this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, Lender or such agent, as the case may be, has an obligation to act reasonably or promptly, Borrower agrees that neither Lender nor its agents shall be liable for any monetary damages, and Borrower's sole remedy shall be limited to commencing an action seeking injunctive relief or declaratory judgment. The parties hereto agree that any action or ,proceeding to determine whether Lender or its agent has acted reasonably shall be determined by an action seeking declaratory judgment.

title insurance and reasonable fees and expenses of counsel for providing to Lender all required legal opinions, and other similar expenses incurred, in creating and perfecting the Liens in favor of Lender pursuant to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents; (v) enforcing or preserving any rights in response to third party claims or the prosecuting or defending of any action or proceeding or other litigation or otherwise, in each case against, under or affecting Borrower, Mortgage Borrower, this Agreement, any other Loan Document, the Collateral, or any other security given for the Loan; (vi) enforcing any obligations of, or collecting any payments due from, Borrower or Guarantor under this Agreement or the other Loan Documents or with respect to the Collateral or in connection with any refinancing or restructuring of the credit arrangements provided under this Agreement in the nature of a "work-out" or of any insolvency or bankruptcy proceedings; and (vii) securing Borrower's compliance with any requests made by Lender pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement, including Section 9.1, Section 11.29 or Section 11.30 hereof; provided, however, that Borrower shall not be liable for the payment of any costs or expenses under this Section 11.13 to the extent the same arise by reason of the gross negligence, illegal acts, fraud or willful misconduct of Lender. At Lender's discretion, any such costs and expenses due and payable to Lender may be paid to Lender from any amounts in the Mezzanine Deposit Account if not paid by Borrower within ten (10) Business Days after demand by Lender.

To the extent that the undertaking to indemnify, defend and hold harmless set forth in the preceding sentence may be unenforceable because it violates any law or public policy, Borrower shall pay the maximum portion that it is permitted to pay and satisfy under applicable law to the payment and satisfaction of all Indemnified Liabilities incurred by the Lender Indemnitees.
(c)Β Β Β Β Borrower shall pay for or, if Borrower fails to pay, to reimburse Lender for, any fees, costs and expenses of any Rating Agency in connection with any consent, approval, waiver or confirmation obtained from such Rating Agency pursuant to the terms and conditions of this Agreement or any other Loan Document and Lender shall be entitled to require payment of such fees, costs and expenses as a condition precedent to the obtaining of any such consent, approval, waiver or confirmation.

Section 11.15.Β Β Β Β Offsets. Counterclaims and Defenses. Any assignee of Lender's interest in and to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall take the same free and clear of all offsets, counterclaims or defenses which are unrelated to such documents which Borrower may otherwise have against any assignor of such documents, and no such unrelated offset, counterclaim or defense shall be interposed or asserted by Borrower in any action or proceeding brought by any such assignee upon such 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 Borrower.
Section 11.16. No Joint Venture or Partnership. Borrower and Lender intend that the relationships created hereunder and under the other Loan Documents be solely that of borrower and lender.

Section 11.17. Publicity. All news releases, publicity or advertising by Borrower or its Affiliates through any media which refers to the Loan, the Loan Documents or Lender or any of its Affiliates shall be subject to the prior approval of Lender, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld.

Section 11.18. Waiver of Marshalling of Assets. To the fullest extent permitted by law, Borrower, for itself and its successors and assigns, waives all rights to a marshalling of the assets of Borrower, Borrower's partners, members and others with interests in Borrower, and of the Collateral, and agrees not to assert any right under any laws pertaining to the marshalling of assets, the sale in inverse order of alienation, homestead exemption, the administration of estates of decedents, or any other matters whatsoever to defeat, reduce or affect the right of Lender under the Loan Documents to a sale of the Collateral for the collection of the Debt without any prior or different resort for collection or of the right of Lender to the payment of the Debt out of the net proceeds of the Collateral in preference to every other claimant whatsoever. Section
11.19. Waiver of Offsets/Defenses/Counterclaims. Borrower hereby waives the right to assert a counterclaim, other than a compulsory counterclaim, in any action or proceeding brought against it by Lender or its agents or otherwise to offset any obligations to make the payments required by the Loan Documents. No failure by Lender to perform any of its obligations hereunder shall be a valid defense to, or result in any offset against, any payments which Borrower is obligated to make under any of the Loan Documents.
Section 11.20. Conflict: Construction of Documents: Reliance. In the event of any conflict between the provisions of this Agreement and any of the other Loan Documents, the provisions of this Agreement shall control. The parties hereto acknowledge that they were represented by competent counsel in connection with the negotiation, drafting and execution of
104
the Loan Documents and that such Loan Documents shall not be subject to the principle of construing their meaning against the party which drafted same. Borrower acknowledges and agrees that, with respect to the Loan, Borrower shall rely solely on its own judgment and advisors in entering into the Loan without relying in any manner on any statements, representations or recommendations of Lender or any parent, subsidiary or Affiliate of Lender. Lender shall not be subject to any limitation whatsoever in the exercise of any rights or remedies available to it under any of the Loan Documents or any other agreements or instruments which govern the Loan by virtue of the ownership by it or any parent, subsidiary or Affiliate of Lender of any legal, beneficial or economic interest any of them may acquire in Borrower, and Borrower hereby irrevocably waives the right to raise any defense or take any action on the basis of the foregoing with respect to Lender's exercise of any such rights or remedies.

Subject to the qualifications below, Lender shall not enforce the liability and obligation of Borrower to perform and observe the obligations contained in this Agreement, the Note, the Pledge Agreement or the other Loan Documents by any action or proceeding wherein a money judgment shall be sought against Borrower, except that Lender may bring a foreclosure action, an action for specific performance or any other appropriate action or proceeding to enable Lender to enforce and realize upon its interest under this Agreement, the Note, the Pledge Agreement and the other Loan Documents, or in the Collateral, or any other collateral given to Lender pursuant to the Loan Documents; provided, however, that, except as specifically provided herein, any judgment in any such action or proceeding shall be enforceable against Borrower only to the extent of Borrower's interest in the Collateral, and in any other collateral given to Lender, and Lender, by accepting this Agreement, the Note, the Pledge Agreement and the other Loan Documents, agrees that it shall not xxx for, seek or demand any deficiency judgment against Borrower in any such action or proceeding under or by reason of or under or in connection with this Agreement, the Note, the Pledge Agreement or the other Loan Documents.

108
Borrower or Mortgage Borrower consents to or acquiesces in or joins in an application for the appointment of a custodian, receiver, trustee, or examiner for Borrower, Mortgage Borrower or any portion of the Property; (8) Borrower or Mortgage Borrower makes an assignment for the benefit of creditors, or admits, in writing (other than in any information provided to Lender pursuant to this Agreement or the other Loan Documents or any financial statement of Borrower) or in any action or proceeding, its insolvency or inability to pay its debts as they become due; or (9) any breach of the covenant contained in Section 4.2.19 hereof.

Section 11.24.Β Β Β Β Servicer. (a) At the option of Lender, the Loan may be serviced by a master servicer, primary servicer, special servicer and/or trustee (any such master servicer, primary servicer, special servicer and trustee, together with its agents, nominees or designees, are collectively referred to herein as "Servicer") selected by Lender and Lender may delegate all or any portion of its responsibilities under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents to Servicer pursuant to a pooling and servicing agreement, servicing agreement, special servicing agreement and/or other agreement providing for the servicing of one (1) or more mezzanine loans (collectively, the "Servicing Agreement") between Lender and Servicer.

Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Servicer shall be entitled to reimbursement of costs and expenses as and to the same extent (but without duplication) as Lender is entitled thereto under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.
(b)Β Β Β Β Upon notice thereof from Lender, Servicer shall have the right to exercise all rights of Lender and enforce all obligations of Borrower and Guarantor pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.

109
or shall be required to deliver to Lender pursuant to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents (and no delivery of such notices or other documents and instruments by Borrower or Guarantor shall be of any force or effect unless delivered to Lender and Servicer as provided above).
Section 11.25.Β Β Β Β Joint and Several Liability. If Borrower consists of more than one (1) Person, the representations, warranties, covenants, obligations and liabilities of each Person shall be joint and several.
Section 11.26. Creation of Security Interest. Notwithstanding any other provision set forth in this Agreement, the Note, the Pledge Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, Lender may at any time grant a security interest in all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement, the Note, the Pledge Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents (including, without limitation, the payments owing to it) (a) to any Federal Reserve Bank in accordance with Regulation A of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System or to the central reserve bank or similar authority of any other country to secure any obligation of Lender or its Affiliates to such bank or similar authority or (b) to secure any borrowing by Lender or its Affiliates from any company that purchases or funds financial assets by issuing commercial paper.
Section 11.27. Intentionally Omitted.
Section 11.28. Set-Off. In addition to any other rights and remedies of Lender provided by the Loan Documents and by law, Lender shall have the right, without prior notice to Borrower, any such notice being expressly waived by Borrower to the extent permitted by applicable law, upon any amount becoming due and payable by Borrower hereunder or under the other Loan Documents (whether at the stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise) to set-off and appropriate and apply against such amount any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final), in any currency, and any other credits, indebtedness or claims, in any currency, in each case whether direct or indirect, absolute or contingent, matured or unmatured, at any time held or owing by Lender or any Affiliate of Lender to or for the credit or the account of Borrower. Lender agrees to promptly notify Borrower after any such set-off and application made by Lender; provided that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such set-off and application.
Section 11.29. Component Notes. Without in any way limiting Lender's other rights under this Agreement or any other Loan Document (including Lender's rights under Section 9.1 and Section 11.30 hereof), Lender shall have the right, at any time and in its sole and absolute discretion, to require Borrower to execute and deliver new component notes (including senior and junior notes) to replace the original note or modify the original note to reflect multiple components of the Loan, which notes may be paid in such order of priority as may be designated by Lender, provided that (a) the aggregate principal amount of such component notes shall, on the date created, equal the Outstanding Principal Balance immediately prior to the creation of such component notes, (b) the weighted average interest rate of all such component notes shall, on the date created, equal the interest rate which was applicable to the Loan immediately prior to the creation of such component notes, (c) the scheduled debt service payments on all such component notes shall, on the date created, equal the scheduled debt service payments under the Loan immediately prior to the creation of such component notes, and (d) Borrower shall not
110
be required, in the aggregate, to materially decrease its rights or materially increase its obligations with respect to the Loan (except that the weighted average interest rate may subsequently change due to involuntary prepayments due to the application of Proceeds or an Award following a Casualty or Condemnation or if an Event of Default shall occur or otherwise pursuant to a prepayment under Section 5.3.2(i)). Borrower shall cooperate with all reasonable requests of Lender in order to establish the component notes and shall execute and deliver, and cause to be executed and delivered, such documents as shall reasonably be required by Lender or any Rating Agency in connection therewith, all in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Lender and, if applicable, satisfactory to such Rating Agency (including, without limitation, the severance of security documents). Borrower hereby absolutely and irrevocably appoints Lender as its true and lawful attorney, coupled with an interest, in its name and stead to make and execute all documents necessary or desirable to establish the component notes as described in this Section 11.29, Borrower ratifying all that its said attorney shall do by virtue thereof; provided, however, Lender shall not make or execute any such documents under such power until three (3) days after notice has been given to Borrower by Lender of Lender's intent to exercise its rights under such power. Lender shall reimburse Borrower for all reasonable out-of-pocket third party costs and expenses actually incurred by Borrower, Guarantor, Manager and their respective Affiliates subsequent to the Closing Date in connection with the creation of the component notes and all requirements relating thereto, and Borrower shall not be responsible for any of Lender's costs incurred in connection with the creation of the component notes and all requirements relating thereto.
Section 11.30.Β Β Β Β New Mezzanine Loan. Without in any way limiting Lender's other rights under this Agreement or any other Loan Document (including Lender's rights under Section 9 .1 and Section 11.29 hereof), Lender shall have the right (the "Mezzanine Option'') at any time, in its sole and absolute discretion, to divide the Loan into one or more new mezzanine loans (each individually, a "New Mezzanine Loan"). In effectuating the foregoing, Lender will make one or more mezzanine loans to single purpose, bankruptcy remote entities that own, directly or indirectly, all of the legal, beneficial and economic interests in Borrower (each individually, a ''New Mezzanine Borrower") in the amount of the related New Mezzanine Loan; each New Mezzanine Borrower will contribute the amount of its New Mezzanine Loan and the proceeds of any junior New Mezzanine Loan contributed to such New Mezzanine Borrower by its immediately junior New Mezzanine Borrower to Borrower or to its immediately senior New Mezzanine Borrower, as applicable; and Borrower will apply the contribution to pay down the Loan. In connection with the Mezzanine Option:
(a)Β Β Β Β Lender shall have the right to establish different interest rates and debt service payments for the New Mezzanine Loans and to require the payment of the New Mezzanine Loans in such order of priority as may be designated by Lender; provided, that (i) the aggregate principal amount of the New Mezzanine Loans shall equal the Outstanding Principal Balance immediately prior to the creation of the New Mezzanine Loans, (ii) the weighted average interest rate of the New Mezzanine Loans shall, on the date created, equal the interest rate which was applicable to the Loan immediately prior to creation of the New Mezzanine Loans, (iii) the scheduled debt service payments on the New Mezzanine Loans shall, on the date created, equal the scheduled debt service payments under the Loan immediately prior to creation of the New Mezzanine Loans, and (iv) neither Borrower nor its Affiliates shall be required, in the aggregate, to materially decrease their rights or materially increase their obligations with respect
111
to the Loan existing immediately prior to creation of the New Mezzanine Loans (except that the weighted average interest rate may subsequently change due to involuntary prepayments due to the application of Proceeds or an Award following a Casualty or Condemnation or if an Event of Default shall occur or otherwise pursuant to a prepayment under Section 5.3.2(i)).
(b)Β Β Β Β Each New Mezzanine Borrower shall be a single purpose, bankruptcy remote entity under the criteria established by the Rating Agencies and shall own directly one hundred percent (100%) of the legal, beneficial and economic interests in Borrower or its immediately senior New Mezzanine Borrower, as applicable. The security for any New Mezzanine Loan shall include a pledge by the related New Mezzanine Borrower of one hundred percent (100%) of the direct ownership interests in Borrower or its immediately senior New Mezzanine Borrower, as applicable.
(c)Β Β Β Β Borrower and New Mezzanine Borrowers shall cooperate with all reasonable requests of Lender in order to convert the Loan into the New Mezzanine Loans and shall execute and deliver, and cause to be executed and delivered, such documents as shall reasonably be required by Lender or any Rating Agency in connection therewith, all in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Lender and, if applicable, satisfactory to such Rating Agency (including, without limitation, the delivery of bankruptcy non-consolidation opinions and the modification of organizational documents and loan documents). Each of Borrower and New Mezzanine Borrowers hereby absolutely and irrevocably appoints Lender as its true and lawful attorney, coupled with an interest, in its name and stead to make and execute all documents necessary or desirable to convert the Loan as described in this Section 11.30, each of Borrower and New Mezzanine Borrowers ratifying all that its said attorney shall do by virtue thereof; provided, however, Lender shall not make or execute any such documents under such power until three (3) days after notice has been given to Borrower by Lender of Lender's intent to exercise its rights under such power. Lender shall reimburse Borrower for all reasonable out-of- pocket third party costs and expenses actually incurred by Borrower, Guarantor, Manager and their respective Affiliates subsequent to the Closing Date in connection with the creation of the New Mezzanine Loans and all requirements relating thereto, and Borrower shall not be responsible for any of Lender's costs incurred in connection with the creation of the New Mezzanine Loans and all requirements relating thereto.
Section 11.31.Β Β Β Β Approvals; Third Parties; Conditions. (a) All approval rights retained or exercised by Lender with respect to any Leases, contracts, plans, studies and other matters are solely to facilitate Lender's credit underwriting, and shall not be deemed or construed as a determination that Lender has passed on the adequacy thereof for any other purpose and may not be relied upon by Borrower or any other Person.
(b)Β Β Β Β This Agreement and the other Loan Documents are for the sole and exclusive use of Borrower and Lender and may not be enforced, nor relied upon, by any other Person. Nothing contained in this Agreement or the other Loan Documents shall be deemed to confer upon any Person other than Borrower and Lender any right to insist upon or to enforce the performance or observance of any of the terms, covenants and conditions contained herein or therein. All conditions to the obligations of Lender hereunder or under the other Loan Documents are imposed solely and exclusively for the benefit of Lender and no other Person shall have standing to require satisfaction of such conditions or be entitled to assume that Lender
112
will refuse to make the Loan (or, if applicable, make any advances) or otherwise perform or satisfy such obligations in the absence of strict compliance with any or all of such conditions and no other Person shall under any circumstances be deemed to be a beneficiary of such conditions, any or all of which may be freely waived in whole or in part by Lender at any time in Lender's sole and absolute discretion.
Section 11.32.Β Β Β Β Limitation on Liability of Lender's Officers, Employees, etc. Any obligation or liability whatsoever of Lender which may arise at any time under this Agreement or any other Loan Document shall be satisfied, if at all, out of Lender's interest in the Collateral only. No such obligation or liability shall be personally binding upon, nor shall resort for the enforcement thereof be had to, any other asset or property of Lender or the asset or property of any of Lender's shareholders, directors, officers, employees or agents, regardless of whether such obligation or liability is in the nature of contract, tort or otherwise.
Section 11.33.Β Β Β Β Certain Additional Rights of Lender (VCOC). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, upon reasonable notice to Borrower, Lender shall have:
(a)Β Β Β Β the right to routinely consult with and advise Borrower's management regarding the significant business activities and business and financial developments of Borrower; provided, however, that such consultations shall not include discussions of environmental compliance programs or disposal of Hazardous Substances. Consultation meetings should occur on a regular basis (no less frequently than quarterly) with Lender having the right to call special meetings at any reasonable times upon reasonable notice;
(b)Β Β Β Β the right, in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, to examine the books and records of Borrower at any reasonable times upon reasonable notice;
(c)Β Β Β Β the right, in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, including, without limitation, Section 4.1.6 hereof, to receive monthly, quarterly and year-end financial reports, including balance sheets, statements of income, shareholder's equity and cash flow, a management report and schedules of outstanding indebtedness (in each case only to the extent Borrower is otherwise required to provide such reports pursuant to the terms of this Agreement); and
(d)Β Β Β Β the right, without restricting any other rights of Lender under this Agreement (including any similar right), to approve any acquisition by Borrower or Mortgage Borrower of any other significant property other than personal property required for the day to day operation of the Property or the ownership of the Collateral (except as otherwise permitted hereunder or under the Mortgage Loan Documents).
The rights described above in this Section 11.33 may be exercised by any entity which owns and controls, directly or indirectly, substantially all of the interests in Lender. As used in this Section 11.33, the term "control" means the possession, directly or indirectly, of the power to direct or cause the direction of the management, policies or activities of a Person, whether through ownership of voting securities, by contract or otherwise and the terms "controlled" and "controlling" shall have correlative meanings.
113
Section 11.34.Β Β Β Β Waiver of Rights. Defenses and Claims. Borrower hereby unconditionally and irrevocably waives all rights, defenses and claims that Borrower may have based on the fact that certain terms and provisions of the Mortgage Loan Agreement, including without limitation certain definitions set forth in Section 1.1 of the Mortgage Loan Agreement, are incorporated into this Agreement by reference.
Section 11.35.Β Β Β Β Intercreditor Agreement.
(a)Β Β Β Β Lender has advised Borrower that Lender and Mortgage Lender are parties to the Intercreditor Agreement memorializing their relative rights and obligations with respect to the Mortgage Loan, the Loan, Mortgage Borrower, Borrower, the Collateral and the Property. Borrower hereby acknowledges and agrees that (i) such Intercreditor Agreement is intended solely for the benefit of Lender and Mortgage Lender and (ii) Borrower and Mortgage Borrower are not intended third-party beneficiaries of any of the provisions therein and shall not be entitled to rely on any of the provisions contained therein. Lender and Mortgage Lender shall have no obligation to disclose to Borrower the contents of the Intercreditor Agreement. Borrower's obligations hereunder are independent of such Intercreditor Agreement and remain unmodified by the terms and provisions thereof.
(b)Β Β Β Β In the event Lender is required pursuant to the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement to pay over any payment or distribution of assets, whether in cash, property or securities which is applied to the Debt, including, without limitation, any proceeds of the Property previously received by Lender on account of the Loan to Mortgage Lender, then Borrower agrees to indemnify Lender for any amounts so paid, and any amount so paid shall continue to be owing pursuant to the Loan Documents as part of the Debt notwithstanding the prior receipt of such payment by Lender.
Section 11.36.Β Β Β Β Discussions with Mortgage Lender. In connection with the exercise of its rights as set forth in the Loan Documents, Lender shall have the right at any time to discuss the Property, the Mortgage Loan, the Collateral, the Loan or any other matter directly with Mortgage Lender or Mortgage Lender's consultants, agents or representatives without notice to or permission from Borrower, Guarantor or any other Person, nor shall Lender have any obligation to disclose such discussions or the contents thereof with Borrower, Guarantor or any other Person.
Section 11.37. Independent Approval Rights. If any action, proposed action or other decision is consented to or approved by Mortgage Lender, such consent or approval shall not be binding or controlling on Lender. Borrower hereby acknowledges and agrees that (i) the risks of Mortgage Lender in making the Mortgage Loan are different from the risks of Lender in making the Loan, (ii) in determining whether to grant, deny, withhold or condition any requested consent or approval Mortgage Lender and Lender may reasonably reach different conclusions, and (iii) Lender has an absolute independent right to grant, deny, withhold or condition any requested consent or approval based on its own point of view. Furthermore, the denial by Lender of a requested consent or approval shall not create any liability or other obligation of Lender if the denial of such consent or approval results directly or indirectly in a default under the Mortgage Loan, and Borrower hereby waives any claim of liability against Lender arising from any such denial.
114
Section 11.38. Direction of Mortgage Borrower or with Respect to the Property. Borrower and Lender hereby acknowledge and agree that, as to any clauses or provisions contained in this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents to the effect that (i) Borrower shall cause Mortgage Borrower to act or to refrain from acting in any manner or (ii) Borrower shall cause to occur or not to occur, or otherwise be obligated in any manner with respect to, any matters pertaining to Mortgage Borrower or the Property, or (iii) other similar effect, such clause or provision, in each case, is intended to mean, and shall be construed as meaning, that Borrower has undertaken to act and is obligated to act only in Borrower's capacity as the sole member of Mortgage Borrower (which Mortgage Borrower, in turn, is the fee owner of the Property) but not directly with respect to Mortgage Borrower or the Property or in any other manner which would violate any of the covenants contained in Section 3.1.24 hereof or other similar covenants contained in Borrower's Organizational Documents.
Section 11.39. Compliance with Mortgage Loan Documents. Borrower shall, or shall cause Mortgage Borrower to: (i) pay all principal, interest and other sums required to be paid by Mortgage Borrower under and pursuant to the provisions of the Mortgage Loan Documents; (ii) diligently perform and observe all of the terms, covenants and conditions of the Mortgage Loan Documents on the part of any Mortgage Borrower to be performed and observed, unless such performance or observance shall be waived in writing by Mortgage Lender; (iii) promptly notify Lender of the giving of any notice by Mortgage Lender to Mortgage Borrower of any default by Mortgage Borrower in the performance or observance of any of the terms, covenants or conditions of the Mortgage Loan Documents on the part of Mortgage Borrower to be performed or observed and deliver to Lender a true copy of each such notice (including electronically transmitted items); and (iv) deliver a true, correct and complete copy of all material notices, demands, requests or material correspondence (including electronically transmitted items) given or received by Mortgage Borrower or Guarantor to or from Mortgage Lender or its agent. Without limiting the foregoing, Borrower shall cause Mortgage Borrower to fund all reserves required to be funded pursuant to the Mortgage Loan Documents.
Section 11.40.Β Β Β Β Mortgage Loan Defaults.
(a)Β Β Β Β Without limiting the generality of the other provisions of this Agreement, and without waiving or releasing Borrower from any of its obligations hereunder, if there shall occur any default under any of the Mortgage Loan Documents or if Mortgage Lender asserts that Mortgage Borrower has defaulted in the performance or observance of any term, covenant or condition of the Mortgage Loan Documents (whether or not the same shall have continued beyond any applicable notice or grace periods, whether or not Mortgage Lender shall have delivered proper notice to Mortgage Borrower, and without regard to any other defenses or offset rights Mortgage Borrower may have against Mortgage Lender), Borrower hereby expressly agrees that Lender shall have the immediate right, without notice to or demand on Borrower or Mortgage Borrower, but shall be under no obligation, to exercise Borrower's rights under the Mortgage Borrower Company Agreement: (i) to pay all or any part of the Mortgage Loan and any other sums that are then due and payable, and to perform any act or take any action on behalf of Mortgage Borrower to cause all of the terms, covenants and conditions of the applicable Mortgage Loan Document on the part of Mortgage Borrower to be performed or observed thereunder to be promptly performed or observed; and (ii) to pay any other amounts and take any other action as Lender, in its sole and absolute discretion, shall deem advisable to protect or
115
preserve the rights and interests of Lender in the Loan and/or the Collateral. Lender shall have no obligation to complete any cure or attempted cure undertaken or commenced by Lender. All sums so paid and the costs and expenses incurred by Lender in exercising rights under this Section (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys' and other professional fees) (i) shall constitute additional advances of the Loan to Borrower, (ii) shall increase the then Outstanding Principal Balance, (iii) shall bear interest at the Default Rate for the period from the date that such costs or expenses were incurred to the date of payment to Lender, (iv) shall constitute a portion of the Debt, (v) shall be secured by the Pledge Agreement, and (vi) shall be due and payable to Lender within two Business Days following demand therefor. In the event that Lender makes any payment in respect of the Mortgage Loan, Lender shall be subrogated to all of the rights of Mortgage Lender under the applicable Mortgage Loan Document against the Property, in addition to all other rights it may have under the Loan Documents.
(b)Β Β Β Β Subject to the rights of Tenants, Borrower hereby grants, and shall cause Mortgage Borrower to grant, Lender and any Person designated by Lender the right to enter upon the Property at any time for the purpose of carrying out the rights granted to Lender under this Section. Borrower shall not, and shall not cause or permit Mortgage Borrower or any other Person to impede, interfere with, hinder or delay, any effort or action on the part of Lender to cure any default or asserted default under the Mortgage Loan, or to otherwise protect or preserve Lender's interests in the Loan and the Collateral, including the Property in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.
(c)Β Β Β Β Borrower hereby indemnifies Lender from and against all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, assessments, actions, or causes of action, judgments, suits, claims, demands, costs, expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys' and other professional fees, whether or not suit is brought, and settlement costs), and disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever which may be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against Lender as a result of the foregoing actions (collectively, the "Claims"); provided, however, nothing contained herein shall require Borrower to indemnify Lender for any Claims arising as a result of Lender's gross negligence or willful misconduct. Lender shall have no obligation to Borrower, Mortgage Borrower or any other party to make any such payment or performance.
(d)Β Β Β Β If Lender shall receive a copy of any notice of default under any of the Mortgage Loan Documents sent by Mortgage Lender to Mortgage Borrower, such notice shall constitute full protection to Lender for any action taken or omitted to be taken by Lender, in good faith, in reliance thereon. As a material inducement to Lender making the Loan, Borrower hereby absolutely and unconditionally releases and waives all claims against Lender arising out of Lender's exercise of its rights and remedies provided in this Section other than claims arising out of the fraud, illegal acts, gross negligence or willful misconduct of Lender.
(e)Β Β Β Β Any Event of Default under the Mortgage Loan shall constitute an immediate Event of Default under this Agreement without any notice, grace or cure period otherwise applicable under this Agreement.
Section 11.41. Mortgage Loan Estoppels. Borrower shall, or shall cause Mortgage Borrower to, from time to time, use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain from Mortgage Lender such certificates of estoppel with respect to compliance by Mortgage Borrower with the
116
terms of the Mortgage Loan Documents as may be requested by Lender. In the event or to the extent that Mortgage Lender is not legally obligated to deliver such certificates of estoppel and is unwilling to deliver the same, or is legally obligated to deliver such certificates of estoppel but breaches such obligation, then Borrower shall not be in breach of this provision so long as Borrower furnish to Lender an estoppel executed by Borrower and Mortgage Borrower expressly representing to Lender the information requested by Lender regarding compliance by Mortgage Borrower with the terms of the Mortgage Loan Documents. Borrower hereby indemnifies Lender from and against all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, assessments, actions, or causes of action, judgments, suits, claims, demands, costs, expenses (including, without limitation, reasonably attorneys' and other professional fees, whether or not suit is brought and settlement costs) and disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever which may be imposed on, incurred by, or asserted against Lender based in whole or in part upon any fact, event, condition, or circumstances relating to the Mortgage Loan which was misrepresented in, or which warrants disclosure and was intentionally omitted from such estoppel executed by Borrower and Mortgage Borrower.
Section 11.42.Β Β Β Β No Amendments to Mortgage Loan Documents. Without obtaining the prior written consent of Lender, Borrower shall not cause or permit Mortgage Borrower to (i) enter into or be bound by any Mortgage Loan Documents after the date hereof or enter into or otherwise suffer or permit any amendment, waiver, supplement, termination or other modification of any of the Mortgage Loan Documents (other than ministerial or de minimis modifications, which do not affect any of the economic terms therein or change any rights or obligations of the parties thereunder), or (ii) grant to Mortgage Lender any consent or waiver. Borrower shall cause Mortgage Borrower to provide Lender with a copy of any amendment, waiver, supplement, termination or other modification to the Mortgage Loan Documents within five (5) days after the execution thereof. Without obtaining the prior written consent of Lender, Borrower shall not cause or permit Mortgage Borrower to amend or modify the Organizational Documents of Mortgage Borrower in any respect which would (i) limit distributions to be made to Borrower, (ii) limit cure rights of Borrower, (iii) modify the special purpose entity requirements set forth therein or (iv) would in any other respect have any material adverse effect on Lender.
Section 11.43.Β Β Β Β Acquisition of the Mortgage Loan.
(a)Β Β Β Β Neither Borrower, Mortgage Borrower, Guarantor nor any Affiliate of any of them nor any Person acting at any such Borrower's, Mortgage Borrower's, Guarantor's or such Affiliate's request or direction, shall acquire or agree to acquire the Mortgage Loan, or any portion thereof or any interest therein, or any direct or indirect controlling ownership interest in the holder of the Mortgage Loan, via purchase, transfer, exchange or otherwise, and any breach or attempted breach of this provision shall constitute an Event of Default hereunder. If, solely by operation of applicable subrogation law, Borrower, Mortgage Borrower, Guarantor or any Affiliate of any of them shall have failed to comply with the foregoing, then Borrower: (i) shall immediately notify Lender of such failure; and (ii) shall cause any and all such prohibited parties acquiring any interest in the Mortgage Loan Documents: (A) not to enforce the Mortgage Loan Documents; and (B) upon the request of Lender, to the extent any of such prohibited parties has or have the power or authority to do so, to promptly: (1) cancel the promissory note evidencing the Mortgage Loan, (2) reconvey and release the Lien securing the Mortgage Loan and any other
117
collateral under the Mortgage Loan Documents, and (3) discontinue and terminate any enforcement proceeding(s) under the Mortgage Loan Documents.
(b)Β Β Β Β Lender shall have the right at any time to acquire all or any portion of the Mortgage Loan or any interest in any holder of, or participant in, the Mortgage Loan without notice or consent of Borrower, Mortgage Borrower, Guarantor or any other Person, in which event Lender shall have and may exercise all rights of Mortgage Lender thereunder (to the extent of its interest), including the right (i) to declare that the Mortgage Loan is in default, in accordance with the terms thereof, (ii) to accelerate the Mortgage Loan indebtedness, in accordance with the terms thereof, and (iii) to pursue all remedies against any obligor under the Mortgage Loan Documents, in accordance with the terms thereof. In addition, Borrower hereby expressly agrees that any claims, counterclaims, defenses, offsets, deductions or reductions of any kind which Mortgage Borrower or any other Person may have against Mortgage Lender relating to or arising out of the Mortgage Loan shall be the personal obligation of Mortgage Lender, and in no event shall Mortgage Borrower be entitled to bring, pursue or raise any such claims, counterclaims, defenses, offsets, deductions or reductions against Lender or any Affiliate of Lender or any other Person as the successor holder of the Mortgage Loan or any interest therein, provided that Mortgage Borrower may seek specific performance of its contractual rights under the Mortgage Loan Documents.
Section 11.44.Β Β Β Β Refinancing or Prepayment of the Mortgage Loan. Except as expressly permitted by the Mortgage Loan Documents or hereunder, Borrower shall not make or permit to be made any partial or full prepayment of amounts owing under the Mortgage Loan or any refinancing of the Mortgage Loan without the prior written consent of Lender.
Section 11.45. Deed in Lieu of Foreclosure. Borrower shall not, and Borrower shall not cause, suffer or permit Mortgage Borrower to, enter into, execute, deliver, or consent to, as the case may be, any deed-in-lieu or consensual foreclosure with or for the benefit of Mortgage Lender or any of its Affiliates or designees unless (a) a Mortgage Loan Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, (b) Borrower has given Lender at least ninety (90) days prior written notice of its intent to execute, deliver or consent to, as the case may be, any deed-in-lieu, assignment-in-lieu or consensual foreclosure, and ( c) Lender has not commenced a UCC foreclosure sale in accordance with this Agreement or the other Loan Documents. Borrower shall not, and Borrower shall not cause, suffer or permit Mortgage Borrower to, enter into any consensual sale or other transaction in connection with the Mortgage Loan which could diminish, modify, terminate, impair or otherwise adversely affect the interests of Lender or Borrower in the Collateral or any portion thereof or any interest therein or the interests of Mortgage Lender or Mortgage Borrower in the Property or any portion thereof or any interest therein unless (a) a Mortgage Loan Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, (b) Borrower has given Lender at least ninety (90) days prior written notice of its intent to execute, deliver or consent to, as the case may be, any deed-in-lieu, assignment-in-lieu or consensual foreclosure, and ( c) Lender has not commenced a UCC foreclosure sale in accordance with this Agreement or the other Loan Documents.
