Any transferee of a direct interest in the Mezzanine Loan (other than (A) a participant in connection with a participation of a portion of the Mezzanine Loan or (B) a Loan Pledgee prior to its realization on its pledge) must assume in writing the obligations of Mezzanine Lender hereunder from and after such Transfer and agree to be bound by the terms and provisions hereof (and in such event the transferring Person or Persons shall be released from its or their obligations accruing under this Agreement after the date of such assumption with respect to the transferred interest). Such proposed transferee (other than a Loan Pledgee (prior to its realization on its Pledge)) shall also remake each of the representations and warranties made by Mezzanine Lender herein for the benefit of the Senior Lender; provided, that (x) in the case of the representations in Section 3(a)(i), such representations relating to the Mezzanine Loan Documents shall be limited to the knowledge of such transferee and such transferee shall not be required to make any representations regarding the existence of any default, (y) such transferee shall not be required to make any representation contained in Section 3(a)(iii), and (z) the representations contained in Section 3(a)(ii), shall only be required with respect to the portion of the Mezzanine Loan that such transferee is acquiring.

(c) If more than one Person shall hold a direct interest in the Mezzanine Loan, the holder(s) of more than 50% of the principal amount of the Mezzanine Loan (or if none of the Persons holding a direct interest own more than 50%, then the holder of a plurality of such interests) shall designate by written notice to Senior Lender one of such Persons (the “Directing Mezzanine Lender”) to act on behalf of all such Persons holding an interest in the Mezzanine
16
Loan. The Directing Mezzanine Lender shall have the sole right to receive any notices which are required to be given or which may be given to Mezzanine Lender pursuant to this Agreement and to exercise the rights and power given to Mezzanine Lender hereunder, including any approval rights of Mezzanine Lender; provided, that until the Directing Mezzanine Lender has been so designated, the last Person known to the Senior Lender to hold more than a 50% direct interest in the Mezzanine Loan (or if none of the Persons holding a direct interest own more than 50%, then the last Person known to the Senior Lender to hold a plurality of such interests) shall be deemed to be the Directing Mezzanine Lender. Once the Directing Mezzanine Lender has been designated hereunder, Senior Lender shall be entitled to rely on such designation until it has received written notice from the holder(s) of more than 50% of the principal amount of the Mezzanine Loan (or if none of the Persons holding a direct interest own more than 50%, then the Person holding a plurality of such interests) of the designation of a different Person to act as the Directing Mezzanine Lender.
(d) Mezzanine Lender acknowledges that any Rating Agency Confirmation may be granted or denied by the Rating Agencies in their sole and absolute discretion and that such Rating Agencies may charge customary fees in connection with any such action, which fees shall be paid by Mezzanine Lender.
(e) Senior Lender may, from time to time, in its sole discretion Transfer all or any of the Senior Loan or any interest therein (including, without limitation, a pledge of the Senior Loan) without the consent of Mezzanine Lender; provided that any such direct transferee (excluding any transferee that is only purchasing a participation interest in the Senior Loan) assumes in writing (or, in connection with a Securitization, provided the Transfer is made subject to) the obligations of Senior Lender hereunder accruing from and after such Transfer and (except in connection with a Securitization) agrees to be bound by the terms and provisions hereof, and notwithstanding any such Transfer or subsequent Transfer, the Senior Loan and the Senior Loan Documents shall be and remain a senior obligation in the respects set forth in this Agreement to the Mezzanine Loan and the Mezzanine Loan Documents in accordance with the terms and provisions of this Agreement. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, Senior Lender may not Transfer all or any portion of its beneficial interest in the Senior Loan to Borrower or Mezzanine Borrower or any Affiliate of Borrower or Mezzanine Borrower unless such Transfer is in connection with a full or discounted payoff of the Senior Loan, which payoff must result in the Senior Loan being extinguished in full simultaneously with such Transfer provided, however, that (i) the aforesaid prohibition shall not apply to a Transfer in accordance with the terms of Section 13 below by Senior Lender to Mezzanine Lender or an Affiliate of Mezzanine Lender that has acquired title to the Equity Collateral, and (ii) notwithstanding the aforesaid prohibition, unless prohibited by the applicable pooling and servicing agreement, any Borrower, Mezzanine Borrower, Affiliate of Borrower or Affiliate of Mezzanine Borrower may purchase Certificates in connection with a Securitization of any part of the Senior Loan and no such purchase by Borrower, Mezzanine Borrower, Affiliate of Borrower or Affiliate of Mezzanine Borrower shall cause the trustee of any Securitization of the Senior Loan or any portion thereof (or the Securitization Vehicle holding the Senior Loan or any portion thereof) to be deemed to be an Affiliate of Borrower.

(f) If more than one Person shall hold a direct interest in the Senior Loan, the holder(s) of more than 50% of the principal amount of the Senior Loan (or if none of the Persons holding a direct interest own more than 50%, then the holder of a plurality of such interests) shall designate by written notice to Senior Lender one of such Persons (the “Directing Senior Lender”) to act on behalf of all such Persons holding an interest in the Senior Loan. The Directing Senior Lender shall have the sole right to receive any notices which are required to be given or which may be given to Senior Lender pursuant to this Agreement and to exercise the rights and power given to Senior Lender hereunder, including any approval rights of Senior Lender; provided, that until the Directing Senior Lender has been so designated, the last Person known to the Mezzanine Lender to hold more than a 50% direct interest in the Senior Loan (or if none of the Persons holding a direct interest own more than 50%, then the last Person known to the Mezzanine Lender to hold a plurality of such interests) shall be deemed to be the Directing Senior Lender. Once the Directing Senior Lender has been designated hereunder, Mezzanine Lender shall be entitled to rely on such designation until it has received written notice from the holder(s) of more than 50% of the principal amount of the Senior Loan (or if none of the Persons holding a direct interest own more than 50%, then the Person holding a plurality of such interests) of the designation of a different Person to act as the Directing Senior Lender. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event of a syndication or Securitization of the Senior Loan, the Directing Senior Lender shall be designated in accordance with the terms of any co-lender agreement or pooling and servicing agreement entered into in connection with such syndication or Securitization, and shall have the rights afforded to it thereunder.
Section 5. Foreclosure of Separate Collateral. (a) Mezzanine Lender shall not exercise any rights it may have under the Pledge Agreement and the other Mezzanine Loan Documents or applicable law with respect to a foreclosure or other realization upon the Equity Collateral (including, without limitation, obtaining title to the Equity Collateral or selling or otherwise transferring the Equity Collateral) without a Rating Agency Confirmation unless (i) the transferee of title to the Equity Collateral is a Qualified Transferee, (ii) the Premises will be managed by a Qualified Manager within thirty (30) days after the transfer of title to the Equity Collateral, and (iii) if not in place prior to the transfer of title to the Equity Collateral, hard cash management and adequate reserves for taxes, insurance, debt service, ground rents, capital repair and improvement expenses, tenant improvement expenses and leasing commissions and operating expenses will be implemented under the Senior Loan promptly after the transfer of title to the Equity Collateral (upon the same terms and conditions set forth in the Senior Loan Documents as of the date hereof); provided, that the implementation of such hard cash management and reserves would not cause a “significant modification” of the Senior Loan, as such term is defined in Treasury Regulations Section 1.860G-2(b). Additionally, if a non-consolidation opinion was delivered in connection with the closing of the Senior Loan, the transferee of the Equity Collateral shall deliver a new non-consolidation opinion relating to the transferee acceptable to the Rating Agencies within fifteen (15) Business Days after the transfer of title to the Equity Collateral. The Mezzanine Lender shall provide notice of the transfer and an officer’s certificate from an officer of Mezzanine Lender certifying that all conditions set forth in this Section 5(a) have been (or will be) satisfied to Senior Lender and the Rating Agencies upon consummation of any transfer of the Equity Collateral pursuant to this Section 5(a). Senior Lender may request reasonable evidence that the foregoing requirements have been satisfied. Additionally, as a condition precedent to the completion of a foreclosure or other realization upon the Equity Collateral, (A) an Acceptable New Guarantor (hereinafter defined)
18
shall, at its own cost and expense, (i) execute and deliver to Senior Lender, a guaranty (each, a “New Guaranty”), in each case, in a form substantially similar to the Senior Guaranty, pursuant to which the Acceptable New Guarantor shall undertake the obligations set forth therein with respect to events first arising from and after the date of such transfer of title to the Equity Collateral, and (ii) if there are Certificates then outstanding, deliver (or cause to be delivered) to Senior Lender and each Rating Agency, an opinion of counsel that the issuance by the Acceptable New Guarantor of a New Guaranty and/or substitution of the original guarantor and the original Senior Guaranty with a substitute Acceptable New Guarantor and a substitute New Guaranty, would not cause a “significant modification” of the Senior Loan, as such term is defined in Treasury Regulations Section 1.860G-2(b), (B) Acceptable New Guarantor shall, at its own cost and expense, (i) execute and deliver to Senior Lender, such indemnities, pledge agreements or other agreements as are necessary to provide for the obligations of such obligor, in each case in a form substantially similar to the indemnities, pledge agreements or other agreements entered into in connection the origination of the Senior Loan (each such indemnity, pledge agreement or other agreement, other than the Senior Guaranty, a “Third Party Agreement”), pursuant to which the Acceptable New Guarantor shall undertake the obligations set forth in such Third Party Agreements with respect to events first arising from and after the date of such transfer of title to the Equity Collateral, and (ii) if there are Certificates then outstanding, deliver (or cause to be delivered) to Senior Lender and each Rating Agency, an opinion of counsel that the issuance by the Acceptable New Guarantor of a Third Party Agreement and/or the substitution of the original obligor and such original guaranty, indemnity or agreement with a substitute Third Party Agreement, would not cause a “significant modification” of the Senior Loan, as such term is defined in Treasury Regulations Section 1.860G-2(b), and (C) all defaults under the Senior Loan which remain uncured prior to the commencement of any Equity Collateral Enforcement Action shall have been cured by the Qualified Transferee prior to or simultaneously with (and as a condition precedent to) the occurrence of such Equity Collateral Enforcement Action, except for non-monetary defaults that are not susceptible of being cured by such Qualified Transferee, so long as such non-monetary defaults which are not susceptible of being cured do not materially impair the value, use or operation of the Premises or Senior Lender’s interests, rights and remedies under the Senior Loan Documents. As used herein, an “Acceptable New Guarantor” means a Person that owns a direct or indirect ownership interest in the transferee of title to the Equity Collateral that (i) satisfies the net worth and/or liquid asset threshold tests provided in the Senior Guaranty, or if the Senior Guaranty does not so provide, such Person shall have a Net Worth equal to or greater than the Net Worth of guarantors/indemnitors of mortgage loans owned by the Senior Lender that are of a similar size and type to the Senior Loan, (ii) is Controlled by a Qualified Transferee; (iii) has never been indicted or convicted for a Patriot Act Offense and is not on any Government List (as such terms are defined in the Senior Loan Agreement), and (iv) is not then the subject of a voluntary or involuntary (to the extent the same has not been discharged) bankruptcy proceeding.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, if a guarantor under a Senior Guaranty (each, a “Senior
19
Loan Guarantor”) has agreed to be personally liable for any obligations of Mezzanine Borrower to Mezzanine Lender or Senior Loan Guarantor is otherwise a party to any Mezzanine Loan Document, then Mezzanine Lender, may commence an action or proceeding against such Senior Loan Guarantor in connection with the Mezzanine Loan or otherwise seek to collect any amounts or otherwise assert or enforce any judgement against such Senior Loan Guarantor in connection with the Mezzanine Loan (a “Guaranty Claim”), provided, however, Mezzanine Lender agrees not to commence an enforcement of a judgment against a Senior Loan Guarantor unless it has provided prior written notice to Senior Lender thereof and (i) for so long as Senior Lender is exercising any rights and remedies that it may have against such Senior Loan Guarantor under any such Senior Loan guaranty with respect to the same action, omission, event or occurrence that gave rise to the Guaranty Claim, or (ii) if Senior Lender has notified Mezzanine Lender in writing that Senior Lender has a claim against such Senior Loan Guarantor based on the same action, omission, event or occurrence that gave rise to the Guaranty Claim and Senior Lender commences any action regarding such claim within forty-five (45) days after the delivery of such notice, then Mezzanine Lender shall not pursue the enforcement of any judgments against such Senior Loan Guarantor pursuant to this Section 5(b) (but shall not be precluded from obtaining a judgment in any event) nor accept or receive payments in respect of a Guaranty Claim prior to the date that all obligations of such Senior Loan Guarantor to Senior Lender under any Senior Guaranty are paid in full pursuant to this Section 5(b) and any enforcement actions, judgments and payments related to such Guaranty Claim shall be subordinate to the rights and claims of Senior Lender, provided further that, in each case, Mezzanine Lender is subrogated to such claim of Senior Lender.

20

21
Lender, provided that Loan Pledgee complies with the applicable provisions of Section 15, or (ii) if any such Loan Pledgee has foreclosed under its financing documents as aforesaid, to limit such Loan Pledgee’s right to foreclose against the mezzanine Borrower’s interest in the Equity Collateral, provided that Loan Pledgee complies with the applicable provisions of this Section 5.

Section 8. Subordination of Mezzanine Loan and Mezzanine Loan Documents.
(a) Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, Mezzanine Lender hereby subordinates and makes junior the Mezzanine Loan, the Mezzanine Loan Documents and the liens and security interests created thereby, and all rights, remedies, terms and covenants contained therein to (i) the Senior Loan, (ii) the liens and security interests created by the Senior Loan Documents and (iii) all of the terms, covenants, conditions, rights and remedies contained in the Senior Loan Documents, and no amendments, extensions, consolidations, supplements, replacements, restatements or modifications to the Senior Loan Documents or waivers of any provisions thereof that are permitted pursuant to Section 7(a) shall affect the subordination thereof as set forth in this Section 8(a). Mezzanine Lender hereby acknowledges and agrees that the Mezzanine Loan is not secured by a lien on the Premises or any of the other collateral securing the Senior Loan or any other assets of the Borrower.
(b) Except with respect to the Separate Collateral, every document and instrument included within the Mezzanine Loan Documents shall be subject and subordinate to each and every document and instrument included within the Senior Loan Documents and all extensions, modifications, consolidations, supplements, amendments, replacements and restatements of and/or to the Senior Loan Documents to the extent such extensions, modifications, consolidations, supplements, amendments, replacements and restatements are permitted by the terms hereof.
(c) This Agreement shall not be construed as subordinating and shall not subordinate or impair Mezzanine Lender’s first lien priority right, estate and interest in and to the Separate Collateral and Senior Lender hereby acknowledges and agrees that Senior Lender does not have and shall not hereafter acquire, any lien on, or any other interest whatsoever in, the Separate Collateral, or any part thereof, and that collection from any such Separate Collateral (including the sale by Mezzanine Lender of all or any of its interest in the Mezzanine Loan in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement and the related sales proceeds), the exercise of remedies and realization upon the Separate Collateral by Mezzanine Lender or a Loan Pledgee and the application of proceeds therefrom (including the proceeds from any sale of Mezzanine Lender’s interest in the Mezzanine Loan) as Mezzanine Lender deems appropriate in its sole discretion are permitted hereunder in accordance with the terms and provisions of this Agreement shall not constitute a default or an Event of Default under the Senior Loan Documents. Notwithstanding anything contained in this Section 8 or elsewhere under this Agreement to the contrary, provided there is no Continuing Senior Loan Event of Default, Mezzanine Lender may, at any time, accept, retain and apply any payment from any Affiliate of Mezzanine Borrower or any other party (other than Borrower or any SPE Constituent Entity) to the extent such payment is (x) made from such Person’s own funds (or the funds of any other Affiliate of Mezzanine Borrower or any other party other than Borrower and any SPE Constituent Entity), (y) not prohibited under the terms and conditions of the Senior Loan Documents or the Mezzanine Loan Documents, and (z) not revenue derived from the Premises, insurance, condemnation proceeds, reserve/escrow amounts or the other collateral for the Senior Loan except to the extent the same was distributed or dividend to Mezzanine Borrower or
25
Affiliate thereof (other than a distribution or dividend in violation of applicable terms and conditions of the Senior Loan Documents).
Section 9. Payment Subordination.
(a) Except (i) as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement and (ii) in connection with the exercise by Mezzanine Lender of its rights and remedies with respect to the Separate Collateral in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and the application of proceeds therefrom as Mezzanine Lender deems appropriate in its sole discretion, all of Mezzanine Lender’s rights to payment of the Mezzanine Loan and the obligations evidenced by the Mezzanine Loan Documents are hereby subordinated to all of the Senior Loan Liabilities and all of Senior Lender’s rights to payment by Borrower of the Senior Loan and the obligations secured by the Senior Loan Documents, and Mezzanine Lender shall not accept or receive payments (including, without limitation, whether in cash or other property and whether received directly, indirectly or by set-off, counterclaim or otherwise, but excluding proceeds of Separate Collateral, which proceeds may be retained by Mezzanine Lender) from Borrower and/or from the Premises prior to the date that all Senior Loan Liabilities have been paid in full. If a Proceeding shall have occurred or a Continuing Senior Loan Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, Senior Lender shall be entitled to receive payment and performance in full of all amounts due or to become due to Senior Lender before Mezzanine Lender is entitled to receive any payment on account of the Mezzanine Loan (other than payments with respect to the Separate Collateral, including the proceeds of any enforcement, sale or liquidation of any Separate Collateral conducted in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, which may be retained by Mezzanine Lender). All payments, prepayments or distributions upon or with respect to the Mezzanine Loan which are received by Mezzanine Lender contrary to the provisions of this Agreement or any of the Senior Loan Documents shall be received and held in trust by the Mezzanine Lender for the benefit of Senior Lender and shall be paid over to Senior Lender in the same form as so received (with any necessary endorsement) to be applied (in the case of cash) to, or held as collateral (in the case of non-cash property or securities) for, the payment or performance of the Senior Loan in accordance with the terms of the Senior Loan Documents. Nothing contained herein shall prohibit the Mezzanine Lender from making Protective Advances (and adding the amount thereof to the principal balance of the Mezzanine Loan) notwithstanding the existence of a default under the Senior Loan at such time.
(b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, including, without limitation, Section 9(a):
(i) provided that no Continuing Senior Loan Event of Default shall then exist under the Senior Loan Documents and provided that the maturity date of the Senior Loan has not occurred or been accelerated and provided further that no Proceeding shall have occurred, Mezzanine Lender may accept payments and prepayments which do not violate the terms of the Senior Loan Documents (together with any Prepayment Premium, or Exit Fee, as such terms are defined in the Mezzanine Loan Agreement) of any amounts due and payable from time to time which Mezzanine Borrower is obligated to pay Mezzanine Lender in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Mezzanine Loan Documents and Mezzanine Lender shall have no obligation to pay over to Senior Lender any such amounts;
26
(ii) subject to Section 5(b), nothing contained in this Agreement shall prohibit Mezzanine Lender from accepting and retaining payments from Mezzanine Borrower, Senior Loan Guarantor or any of their Affiliates (other than Borrower) to the extent that such payments are sourced from Mezzanine Borrower’s, such Senior Loan Guarantor’s or such Affiliate’s own funds and are not directly or indirectly derived from the Premises or any other collateral for the Senior Loan or any proceeds thereof (it being understood and agreed that Mezzanine Lender shall in any event be entitled to retain funds sourced or derived from the Premises to the extent the same have previously been distributed to Mezzanine Borrower, Senior Loan Guarantor or Affiliate (other than Borrower) provided such distribution did not violate any provision of the Senior Loan Documents or this Agreement), and nothing contained in this Agreement shall prohibit Mezzanine Lender from accepting and retaining any such payment notwithstanding the existence of any Event of Default that shall then exist under the Senior Loans;
(iii) If funds are deposited into Mezzanine Lender’s account for the Mezzanine Loan, or otherwise paid to Mezzanine Lender, Senior Lender agrees that, absent clear evidence of error, such amounts shall be deemed to have been properly paid to Mezzanine Lender and may be accepted and retained by Mezzanine Lender, provided that such funds were not deposited or otherwise paid in violation of any provision of the Senior Loan Documents or this Agreement; and
(iv) Mezzanine Lender may accept and retain amounts received in connection with the exercise of its rights and remedies with respect to the Separate Collateral in accordance with the terms of this Agreement notwithstanding the existence of an Event of Default under the Senior Loan but subject to Section 5(b).
(c) Mezzanine Lender may take any Equity Collateral Enforcement Action which is permitted under Section 5 hereof; provided, however, that (i) Mezzanine Lender shall, prior to commencing any Equity Collateral Enforcement Action, give the Senior Lender written notice of the default which would permit Mezzanine Lender to commence such Equity Collateral Enforcement Action, and (ii) Mezzanine Lender shall provide Senior Lender with copies of any and all material notices, pleadings, agreements, motions and briefs served upon, or delivered to any party to any Equity Collateral Enforcement Action and otherwise keep Senior Lender reasonably apprised as to the status of any Equity Collateral Enforcement Action and (iii) if and to the extent that Mezzanine Lender or any Qualified Transferee acquires all of the ownership interest in Borrower pursuant to an Equity Collateral Enforcement Action in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, then upon, from and after the vesting of title thereto, subject to Section 29 hereof, this Agreement shall terminate with respect to Mezzanine Lender or such Qualified Transferee.
(d) In the event of a casualty to the buildings or improvements constructed on any portion of the Premises or a condemnation or taking under a power of eminent domain of all or any portion of the Premises, Senior Lender shall have a first and prior interest in and to any payments, awards, proceeds, distributions, or consideration arising from any such event (the “Award”). If the amount of the Award is in excess of all amounts owed to Senior Lender under the Senior Loan Documents, however, and either the Senior Loan has been paid in full or Borrower is entitled to a remittance of same under the Senior Loan Documents other than to
27
restore the Premises, such excess Award or portion to be so remitted to Borrower shall, to the extent permitted in the Senior Loan Documents, be paid to or at the direction of Mezzanine Lender, unless other Persons have claimed the right to such awards or proceeds, in which case Senior Lender shall only be required to provide notice to Mezzanine Lender of such excess Award and of any other claims thereto. In the event of any competing claims for any such excess Award, Senior Lender shall continue to hold such excess Award until Senior Lender receives an agreement signed by all Persons making a claim to the excess Award or a final order of a court of competent jurisdiction directing Senior Lender as to how and to which Person(s) the excess Award is to be distributed. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event of a casualty or condemnation, Senior Lender shall release the Award from any such event to the Borrower if and to the extent required by the terms and conditions of the Senior Loan Documents in order to repair and restore the Premises in accordance with the terms and provisions of the Senior Loan Documents. Any portion of the Award made available to the Borrower for the repair or restoration of the Premises shall not be subject to attachment by Mezzanine Lender; provided that this shall not otherwise affect the lien, if any, that Mezzanine Lender may have on any proceeds distributed to Mezzanine Borrower in accordance herewith. Senior Lender shall use commercially reasonable efforts to promptly notify Mezzanine Lender of any requests by Borrower for a release of any portion of an Award, and provide Mezzanine Lender with any documentation delivered by Borrower to Senior Lender with respect to any such request (provided that in no event shall the failure by Senior Lender to provide such notice or documentation to Mezzanine Lender constitute a default hereunder or otherwise or impair Senior Lender’s rights and/or remedies hereunder or under the Senior Loan Documents).
Section 10. Rights of Subrogation; Bankruptcy.
(a) Each of Mezzanine Lender and Senior Lender hereby waives any requirement for marshaling of assets thereby in connection with any foreclosure of any security interest or any other realization upon collateral in respect of the Senior Loan Documents or the Mezzanine Loan Documents, as applicable, or any exercise of any rights of set-off or otherwise. Each of Mezzanine Lender and Senior Lender assumes all responsibility for keeping itself informed as to the condition (financial or otherwise) of Borrower, Mezzanine Borrower, the condition of the Premises and all other collateral and other circumstances and, except for notices expressly required by this Agreement, neither Senior Lender nor Mezzanine Lender shall have any duty whatsoever to obtain, advise or deliver information or documents to the other relative to such condition, business, assets and/or operations. Mezzanine Lender agrees that Senior Lender owes no fiduciary duty to Mezzanine Lender in connection with the administration of the Senior Loan and the Senior Loan Documents and Mezzanine Lender agrees not to assert any such claim. Senior Lender agrees that Mezzanine Lender owes no fiduciary duty to Senior Lender in connection with the administration of the Mezzanine Loan and the Mezzanine Loan Documents and Senior Lender agrees not to assert any such claim.
(b) No payment or distribution to Senior Lender pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement and no Protective Advance by Mezzanine Lender shall entitle Mezzanine Lender to exercise any right of subrogation in respect thereof prior to the payment in full of the Senior Loan Liabilities, and Mezzanine Lender agrees that, except with respect to the enforcement of its remedies under the Mezzanine Loan Documents permitted hereunder, prior to the satisfaction of all Senior Loan Liabilities it shall not acquire, by subrogation or otherwise, any lien, estate, right
28
or other interest in any portion of the Premises or any other collateral now securing the Senior Loan or the proceeds therefrom that is or may be prior to, or of equal priority to, any of the Senior Loan Documents or the liens, rights, estates and interests created thereby.
(c) Subject to Section 30 of this Agreement, the provisions of this Agreement shall be applicable both before and after the commencement, whether voluntary or involuntary, of any case, proceeding or other action against Borrower, or any SPE Constituent Entity under any existing or future law of any jurisdiction relating to bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or relief of debtors (a “Proceeding”). For as long as the Senior Loan shall remain outstanding, Mezzanine Lender shall not, and shall not solicit any person or entity to, and shall not direct or cause Mezzanine Borrower to direct or cause either the Borrower or any entity which Controls Borrower (the “Borrower Group”) to: (i) commence any Proceeding; (ii) institute proceedings to have Borrower or any SPE Constituent Entity adjudicated a bankrupt or insolvent; (iii) consent to, or acquiesce in, the institution of bankruptcy or insolvency proceedings against Borrower or any SPE Constituent Entity; (iv) file a petition or consent to the filing of a petition seeking reorganization, arrangement, adjustment, winding-up, dissolution, composition, liquidation or other relief by or on behalf of Borrower or any SPE Constituent Entity; (v) seek or consent to the appointment of a receiver, liquidator, assignee, trustee, sequestrator, custodian or any similar official for Borrower or any SPE Constituent Entity, the Premises (or any portion thereof) or any other collateral securing the Senior Loan (or any portion thereof); (vi) make an assignment for the benefit of any creditor of Borrower or any SPE Constituent Entity; (vii) seek to consolidate the Premises or any other assets of the Borrower or any SPE Constituent Entity with the assets of the Mezzanine Borrower or any member of the Borrower Group in any proceeding relating to bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or relief of debtors; or (viii) take any action in furtherance of any of the foregoing. The terms and provisions of this Section 10(c) apply to Mezzanine Lender solely in its capacity as Mezzanine Lender. If Mezzanine Lender commences an Equity Collateral Enforcement Action against Mezzanine Borrower, and pursuant to such Equity Collateral Enforcement Action, Mezzanine Lender takes title to the Equity Collateral, from and after the date title to such Equity Collateral is vested in Mezzanine Lender, Mezzanine Lender shall be bound by the terms and provisions of the respective organizational documents of Borrower and Mezzanine Borrower regarding bankruptcy and all matters requiring the vote of the independent directors/managers/members of Mezzanine Borrower and not by the terms of this Section 10(c).
(d) If Mezzanine Lender is deemed to be a creditor of Borrower or any SPE Constituent Entity in any Proceeding (i) Mezzanine Lender hereby agrees that it shall not make any election, give any consent, commence any action or file any motion, claim, obligation, notice or application or take any other action in any Proceeding by or against the Borrower or any SPE Constituent Entity without the prior consent of Senior Lender, except to the extent necessary to preserve or realize upon Mezzanine Lender’s interest in the Equity Collateral; provided, however, that any such filing shall not be as a creditor of the Borrower, (ii) Senior Lender may vote in any such Proceeding any and all claims of Mezzanine Lender, and Mezzanine Lender hereby appoints the Senior Lender as its agent, and grants to the Senior Lender an irrevocable power of attorney coupled with an interest, and its proxy, for the purpose of exercising any and all rights and taking any and all actions available to the Mezzanine Lender in connection with any case by or against the Borrower or any SPE Constituent Entity in any Proceeding, including without limitation, the right to file and/or prosecute any claims, to vote to accept or reject a plan,
29
to make any election under Section 1111(b) of the Bankruptcy Code, provided with respect to any proposed plan of reorganization including Borrower, Mezzanine Borrower, or any SPE Constituent Entity (including any consolidated entity that includes Borrower, Mezzanine Borrower, or any SPE Constituent Entity) in respect of which creditors are voting, Senior Lender may vote on behalf of Mezzanine Lender only if the proposed plan of reorganization would result in Senior Lender’s claims or interests being “impaired” (as such term is defined in the Bankruptcy Code) with respect to Borrower (iii) Mezzanine Lender shall not challenge the validity or amount of any claim submitted in such Proceeding by Senior Lender in good faith or any valuations of the Premises or other Senior Loan collateral submitted by Senior Lender in good faith, in such Proceeding or take any other action in such Proceeding, which is adverse to Senior Lender’s enforcement of its claim or receipt of adequate protection (as that term is defined in the Bankruptcy Code); (iv) Mezzanine Lender waives any right to object to, and shall be deemed to have consented to: (A) Borrower’s use of any cash collateral to the extent of any consent thereto given by Senior Lender, (B) any request by Senior Lender for adequate protection (as that term is defined in the Bankruptcy Code), (C) any debtor-in-possession financing provided to Borrower by Senior Lender, by any Affiliate of Senior Lender, or by any third party with Senior Lender’s consent, (D) any motion by Senior Lender for dismissal of the Proceeding or for relief from the automatic stay (as defined in the United States Bankruptcy Code), (E) any request by Senior Lender for post-petition interest, and (F) any sale of Borrower’s assets to the extent that Senior Lender has consented thereto, and (v) without Senior Lender’s consent, Mezzanine Lender shall not, and waives any and all rights to: (A) request adequate protection (as that term is defined in the Bankruptcy Code) (and in the event any such adequate protection is awarded to Mezzanine Lender, any adequate protection in the form of cash is hereby assigned to Senior Lender and any adequate protection in the form of a lien on or security interest in the Premises or any other collateral for the Senior Loan is hereby subordinated to all of Senior Lender’s rights, liens, or security interests in or to the Premises and such collateral), (B) provide debtor-in-possession financing to Borrower (unless such debtor-in-possession financing shall pay the Senior Loan in full), (C) file or support any motion for dismissal of the Proceeding or relief from the automatic stay (as defined in the Bankruptcy Code), (D) request any post-petition interest, (E) request any sale of Borrower’s assets, or (F) file, propose, support, accept, or reject any plan of reorganization of Borrower. Mezzanine Lender shall not be bound by the provisions of this Section 10(d) during any period of time that any portion of the Senior Loan is held by an Affiliate of Borrower.
(e) To the extent any payment under the Senior Loan Documents (whether by or on behalf of Borrower, as proceeds of security or enforcement of any right of setoff or otherwise) is declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside or required to be paid to a trustee, receiver or other similar party under any bankruptcy, insolvency, receivership or similar law, then if such payment is recovered by, or paid over to, such trustee, receiver or other similar party, the Senior Loan or part thereof originally intended to be satisfied shall for all purposes of this Agreement be deemed to be reinstated and outstanding as if such payment had not occurred.
(f) The terms and provisions of Sections 10(c) and 10(d) apply to Mezzanine Lender solely in its capacity as a Mezzanine Lender; upon any foreclosure or other realization upon the Equity Collateral, the provisions of the Senior Loan Documents prohibiting a Proceeding by or against Borrower shall continue to remain applicable from and after any such foreclosure or other realization with respect to such Equity Collateral.
30
Section 11. Rights of Cure.(a)Notices and Cure Periods. Prior to Senior Lender commencing any Enforcement Action under the Senior Loan Documents, Senior Lender shall provide written notice of the default which would permit the Senior Lender to commence such Enforcement Action to Mezzanine Lender and any Loan Pledgee entitled to notice thereof pursuant to Section 15 of this Agreement, whether or not Senior Lender is obligated to give notice thereof to Borrower (each, a “Senior Loan Default Notice”) and shall permit, except in connection with Borrower’s failure to repay the Senior Loan in full in cash on the maturity date thereof, Mezzanine Lender an opportunity to cure such default in accordance with the provisions of this Section 11(a) and shall not take any Enforcement Action during the pendency of such cure period. In the event Borrower fails to repay the Senior Loan in full on the maturity date thereof, Mezzanine Lender shall have the right to purchase the Senior Loan (and all rights thereunder) pursuant to the terms, and subject to the conditions, set forth in Section 13(a). In the event Senior Lender has delivered a Senior Loan Default Notice that has not been cured by Mezzanine Lender pursuant to this Section 11, Senior Lender shall provide Mezzanine Lender with copies of any and all material notices relating to such Event of Default, and otherwise upon request keep Mezzanine Lenders reasonably apprised as to the current status of any Enforcement Action. If the default is a monetary default relating to a liquidated sum of money, Mezzanine Lender shall have until ten (10) Business Days after the later of (i) the receipt (or deemed receipt) by Mezzanine Lender of the Senior Loan Default Notice and (ii) the expiration of Borrower’s cure provision, if any (a “Monetary Cure Period”) to cure such monetary default; provided, however, in the event it elects to cure any such monetary default, Mezzanine Lender shall (x) with respect to any such monetary default cured by Mezzanine Lender after the Monetary Cure Period, pay, defend and hold harmless Senior Lender for all cost, expenses, losses, liabilities, obligations, damages, penalties, costs, and disbursements arising under the pooling and servicing agreement for the Senior Loan, to the extent imposed on, incurred by or asserted against Senior Lender due to or arising from such Monetary Cure Period and (y) without duplication of the foregoing, reimburse Senior Lender for any interest charged by Senior Lender on any required (pursuant to applicable pooling and servicing agreement) advances for monthly payments of principal and/or interest on the Senior Loan and/or on any Protective Advances for amounts which Borrower would be obligated to pay under the Senior Loan Documents together with payment of all other amounts then due under the Senior Loan Documents after giving effect to the Event of Default (excluding any late charges or late fees or default interest in the case of the first cure by Mezzanine Lender and, in the case of all subsequent cures, excluding such late charges or late fees and default interest only if the full cure payment is made by Mezzanine Lender to Senior Lender within two (2) Business Days following the applicable payment date under the Senior Loan Documents) and (z) with respect to any liquidated sum of money due and payable pursuant to the Senior Loan Documents after the delivery of a Senior Loan Default Notice, Mezzanine Lender shall pay such amount on the due date with respect to such amount pursuant to the Senior Loan Documents, subject only to any grace period with respect to such amount provided in the Senior Loan Documents and without the additional ten (10) Business Day grace period applicable to the initial monetary default (provided that if payment of all outstanding amounts sufficient to cure such monetary Event of Default is made within ten (10) Business Days (including any late charges and default interest), Senior Lender shall accept such monetary Event of Default cure). Mezzanine Lender shall not have the right to cure as hereinabove set forth with respect to monthly scheduled debt service payments on the Senior Loan for a period of more than six (6) consecutive months unless Mezzanine Lender has
31
commenced and is continuing to diligently pursue its rights against the Separate Collateral; provided, that, in no event shall Mezzanine Lender have the right to cure as hereinabove set forth with respect to monthly scheduled debt service payments on the Senior Loan for more than twelve (12) months, in the aggregate, over the entire term of the Senior Loan. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Mezzanine Lender shall not be required, in order to effect a cure hereunder to pay any interest at the Default Rate or late charges under the Senior Loan Documents, and no interest at the Default Rate or late charges shall accrue against Mezzanine Lender prior to expiration of the Monetary Cure Period. If the default is of a non-monetary nature, Mezzanine Lender shall have until the later of (A) thirty (30) days after the receipt (or deemed receipt) by Mezzanine Lender of the Senior Loan Default Notice and (B) the expiration of Borrower’s cure period under the Senior Loan Documents to cure such non-monetary default, if any (a “Non-Monetary Cure Period”); provided, however, if such non-monetary default is susceptible of cure but cannot reasonably be cured within the Non-Monetary Cure Period and if curative action was commenced within the applicable cure period and is being continuously and diligently pursued by Mezzanine Lender (or with respect to a non-monetary default that is not susceptible of cure without the foreclosure of its Equity Collateral, if Mezzanine Lender shall be diligently and continuously pursuing the foreclosure of the Equity Collateral and the other conditions in this Section 11 are satisfied), Mezzanine Lender shall be given an additional period of time as is reasonably necessary for Mezzanine Lender in the exercise of due diligence to cure such non-monetary default (or to foreclose on the Equity Collateral if the non-monetary default is not susceptible of cure without the foreclosure of the Equity Collateral) for so long as (i) Borrower or Mezzanine Lender makes or causes to be made timely payment of Borrower’s regularly scheduled monthly principal and/or interest payments under the Senior Loan and any other amounts due under the Senior Loan Documents as and when the same are due thereunder (i.e., without additional cure or grace periods), (ii) such additional period of time does not exceed ninety (90) days, unless such non-monetary default is of a nature that cannot be cured within such ninety (90) days, in which case, Mezzanine Lender shall have such additional time as is reasonably necessary to cure such non-monetary default, subject to the satisfaction of the other conditions of this Section 11, (iii) such default is not caused by a bankruptcy, insolvency or assignment for the benefit of creditors of Borrower and (iv) during such non-monetary cure period, there is no material impairment to the value, use or operation of the Premises. Any non-monetary and/or additional cure period granted to the Mezzanine Lender hereunder shall automatically terminate upon the bankruptcy (or similar insolvency) of the Borrower.
(b) Qualified Transferees. To the extent that any Qualified Transferee acquires the Equity Collateral in accordance with the provisions and conditions of this Agreement, such Qualified Transferee shall acquire the same subject to the Senior Loan and the terms, conditions and provisions of the Senior Loan Documents for the balance of the term thereof, which shall not be accelerated by Senior Lender solely due to such acquisition and shall remain in full force and effect; provided, however, that (i) such Qualified Transferee shall have caused Borrower to reaffirm in writing, subject to such exculpatory provisions as shall be set forth in the Senior Loan Documents, all of the terms, conditions and provisions of the Senior Loan Documents on Borrower’s part to be performed and (ii) all defaults under the Senior Loan, other than a failure to pay the Senior Loan upon the maturity or acceleration thereof, which remain uncured as of the date of such acquisition have been cured by such Qualified Transferee or waived by Senior Lender except for defaults that are not susceptible of being cured by such Qualified Transferee; provided, that such defaults which are not susceptible of being cured do not materially impair the
32
value, use or operation of the Premises, as determined by Senior Lender in its sole but reasonable discretion.
(c) No Senior Loan Event of Default. So long as no Continuing Senior Loan Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing under the Senior Loan Documents, all funds held and applied pursuant to the Senior Loan Cash Management Agreement, shall continue to be applied pursuant thereto and shall not be applied by Senior Lender to prepay outstanding principal balance of the Senior Loan.
(d) Cure Payments. In the event that Mezzanine Lender makes a cure payment in accordance with this Section 11 and all or any portion of such amount is paid by Borrower or any other Person on Borrower’s behalf to Senior Lender and is specifically designated by Borrower or such other Person making such payment, and so long as no other payment is then due and owing pursuant to the Senior Loan Documents and no Enforcement Action is ongoing, then Senior Lender shall promptly remit such payment (or such portion of such payment up to the amount paid by Mezzanine Lender in connection with the applicable cure) to Mezzanine Lender.
(e) Copies of Default Notices.

Section 12. No Actions; Restrictive Provisions. Senior Lender consents to Mezzanine Lender’s right, pursuant to the Mezzanine Loan Documents, under certain circumstances, to cause the termination of the Property Manager. In the event both Mezzanine Lender and Senior Lender shall have such rights at any time, and Senior Lender shall fail to exercise such rights, Mezzanine Lender may exercise such rights, provided such exercise may be superseded by any subsequent exercise of such rights by Senior Lender pursuant to the Senior Loan Documents. Upon the occurrence of any event which would entitle Mezzanine Lender to cause the termination of the Property Manager pursuant to the Mezzanine Loan Documents, Mezzanine Lender shall have the right to select, or cause the selection, of a replacement property manager (including any asset manager) or leasing agent for the Premises, which replacement manager, asset manager and/or leasing agent shall either (a) be subject to Senior Lender’s reasonable approval and, if any Certificates are then outstanding, be subject to a Rating Agency Confirmation or (b) be a Qualified Manager. Notwithstanding anything in this Section 12 to the contrary, if a Continuing Senior Loan Event of Default under the Senior Loan then exists or any other event shall have occurred pursuant to which Senior Lender has the right to select any replacement manager, asset manager and/or leasing agent pursuant to the Senior Loan Documents, Senior Lender shall have the sole right to select any replacement manager, asset manager and/or leasing agent, whether or not a new manager or agent was retained by
33
Mezzanine Lender provided that any such replacement manager and/or asset manager shall be a Qualified Manager unless otherwise consented to by Mezzanine Lender and any such leasing agent shall be a reputable leasing agent possessing experience in leasing space within first class retail in the same geographic location where the Premises is located.Section 13.Right to Purchase Senior Loan.

Concurrently with payment to the Senior Lender of the Loan Purchase Price, Senior Lender shall deliver or cause to be delivered Mezzanine Lender all Senior Loan Documents held by or on behalf of Senior Lender and all amounts then held in any reserve or escrow account controlled by or held on account of the Senior Lender and will execute in favor of Mezzanine Lender or its designee assignment documentation, in form and substance reasonably acceptable to Mezzanine Lender, at the sole cost and expense of Mezzanine Lender to assign the Senior Loan and its rights under the Senior Loan Documents (without recourse, representations or warranties, except for representations as to the outstanding balance of the Senior Loan the amounts held in reserves and escrows held under the Senior Loan, the power and authority of the Senior Lender to enter into the applicable assignment documentation, as to Senior Lender’s ownership and not having assigned, transferred, participated or encumbered its rights in the Senior Loan other than with respect to any participation, encumbrance or other action which will be satisfied or released as of the transfer). The right of Mezzanine Lender to purchase the Senior Loan shall automatically terminate (i) upon a transfer of the Premises by foreclosure sale, sale by power of sale or delivery of a deed in lieu of foreclosure or (ii) with respect to a specific
34

(iv) if Senior Lender does not accept such deed-in-lieu of foreclosure prior to the expiration of such thirty (30) day period described in the preceding subparagraph (iii), Senior Lender shall thereafter not accept a deed-in-lieu of foreclosure without again complying with all of the provisions of this Section 13(b).
(c) Mezzanine Lender covenants not to enter any agreement with the Borrower or any Affiliate thereof to purchase the Senior Loan pursuant to subsection (a) above or in connection with any refinancing of the Senior Loan in any manner designed to avoid or circumvent the provisions of the Senior Loan Documents which require the payment of a prepayment fee or yield maintenance charge in connection with a prepayment of the Senior Loan by the Borrower.
Section 14. Additional Understandings. For as long as the Mezzanine Loan remains outstanding: (a) Notices of Transfer; Consent. Senior Lender promptly shall notify Mezzanine Lender if Borrower seeks or requests a release of the lien of the Senior Loan or seeks or requests Senior Lender’s consent to, or takes any action in connection with or in furtherance of, a sale or transfer of all or any material portion of the Premises, the granting of a further mortgage, deed of trust or similar encumbrance against the Premises or a prepayment or refinancing of the Senior
35
Loan. In the event of a request by the Borrower for Senior Lender’s consent to either (i) the sale or transfer of all or any material portion of the Premises or any direct or indirect interest in Borrower, or (ii) the granting of a further mortgage, deed of trust or similar encumbrance against the Premises, Senior Lender shall, if Senior Lender has the right to consent, obtain the prior written consent of Mezzanine Lender prior to Senior Lender’s granting of its consent or agreement thereto.
(b) Annual Budget. The Mezzanine Lender shall have the right to approve the annual operating budget of Borrower in accordance with the terms of the Mezzanine Loan Documents. In the event the Mezzanine Lender objects to any such proposed budget, the Mezzanine Lender shall advise the Senior Lender of such objections, along with its suggestions for changes, within ten (10) days after its receipt of such budget in accordance with the Mezzanine Loan Documents. Senior Lender agrees to consult with the Mezzanine Lender with respect to such objections and suggestions but such consultation shall not be binding on Senior Lender.
(c) Intentionally Omitted.
(d) Requests for Disbursements. Senior Lender hereby agrees to use commercially reasonable efforts to promptly (x) notify Mezzanine Lender of any requests by Borrower for disbursements of funds from the Senior Loan reserves or a release of net Proceeds (as defined in the Senior Loan Documents) and (y) provide Mezzanine Lender with any documentation delivered by Borrower to Senior Lender with respect to any such request by Borrower for a disbursement of funds from the Senior Loan reserves or release of such net Proceeds (provided that in no event shall the failure by Senior Lender to provide such notice or documentation to Mezzanine Lender constitute a default hereunder or otherwise limit the rights and/or remedies of Senior Lender hereunder or under the Senior Loan Documents).
(e) Cash Management. Senior Lender agrees to use commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Deposit Bank to perform, its obligations under the Cash Management Agreement in accordance with the terms and provisions of the Cash Management Agreement (provided that in no event shall the failure by Senior Lender to do so constitute a default hereunder or otherwise limit the rights and/or remedies of Senior Lender hereunder or under the Senior Loan Documents).
(f) No New Mezzanine Loan.
(i) In no event shall Senior Lender (i) create or implement (or cause or permit Borrower to create or implement) any new mezzanine indebtedness secured by any direct and/or indirect equity or ownership interest in Borrower or Mezzanine Borrower or (ii) convert (or cause or permit Borrower to convert) any portion of the Senior Loan into mezzanine indebtedness, in each case without the consent of Mezzanine Lender (which consent may be withheld or granted in Mezzanine Lender’s sole and absolute discretion), unless the Mezzanine Loan is paid in full in accordance with the Mezzanine Loan Documents.
36
(ii) In no event shall Mezzanine Lender (i) create or implement (or cause or permit Borrower or Mezzanine Borrower to create or implement) any new mezzanine indebtedness secured by any direct and/or indirect equity or ownership interest in Borrower or Mezzanine Borrower or (ii) convert (or cause or permit Borrower or Mezzanine Borrower to convert) any portion of the Mezzanine Loan into additional or new mezzanine indebtedness, in each case without the consent of Senior Lender (which consent may be withheld or granted in Senior Lender’s sole and absolute discretion), unless the Senior Loan is paid in full in accordance with the Senior Loan Documents.
Section 15. Financing of Mezzanine Loan. (a) Notwithstanding any other provision hereof, Senior Lender consents to Mezzanine Lender’s sale in connection with a repurchase agreement facility or pledge (each, a “Pledge”) of the Mezzanine Loan and of the Separate Collateral to any entity which has extended a credit facility including, without limitation, credit in the form of a repurchase agreement facility, to Mezzanine Lender that is a Qualified Transferee or a financial institution whose long-term unsecured debt is rated at least “A” (or the equivalent) or better by each Rating Agency (a “Loan Pledgee”), on the terms and conditions set forth in this Section 15. The sale by Mezzanine Lender of the Mezzanine Loan to a Qualified Transferee and the simultaneous agreement by Mezzanine Lender to repurchase the Mezzanine Loan under an arrangement documented as a repurchase agreement shall qualify as a Pledge, provided that all applicable terms and conditions of this Section 15 are complied with, and provided that a Loan Pledgee which is not a Qualified Transferee may not take title to the Equity Collateral without a Rating Agency Confirmation. Upon written notice by Mezzanine Lender to Senior Lender that the Pledge has been effected, Senior Lender agrees to acknowledge receipt of such notice and thereafter agrees: (i) to give Loan Pledgee written notice of any default by Mezzanine Lender under this Agreement of which default Senior Lender has actual knowledge; (ii) to allow Loan Pledgee a period of ten (10) days (in respect of a monetary default) and a period of thirty (30) days (in respect of a non-monetary default) to cure a default by Mezzanine Lender in respect of its obligations to Senior Lender hereunder, but Loan Pledgee shall not be obligated to cure any such default; (iii) that no amendment, modification, waiver or termination of this Agreement shall be effective against Loan Pledgee without the written consent of Loan Pledgee, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld; (iv) that Senior Lender shall give to Loan Pledgee copies of any Senior Loan Default Notice simultaneously with the giving of same to the Mezzanine Lender and accept any cure thereof by Loan Pledgee made in accordance with the provisions of Section 11 of this Agreement as if such cure were made by the Mezzanine Lender; (v) that Senior Lender shall deliver to Loan Pledgee such estoppel certificate(s) as Loan Pledgee shall reasonably request; provided, however, that any such estoppel certificate(s) shall be in the form contemplated by Section 19; and (vi) that, upon written notice (a “Redirection Notice”) to Senior Lender by Loan Pledgee that Mezzanine Lender is in default, beyond applicable cure periods, under Mezzanine Lender’s obligations to Loan Pledgee pursuant to the applicable credit agreement between Mezzanine Lender and Loan Pledgee (which notice need not be joined in or confirmed by Mezzanine Lender), and until such Redirection Notice is withdrawn or rescinded by Loan Pledgee, Senior Lender shall remit to Loan Pledgee and not to Mezzanine Lender, any payments that Senior Lender would otherwise be obligated to pay to Mezzanine Lender from time to time pursuant to this Agreement, any Senior Loan Document, any Mezzanine Loan Document or any other agreement between Senior Lender and Mezzanine Lender that relates to the Senior Loan or Mezzanine Loan. Mezzanine Lender hereby unconditionally and absolutely releases Senior Lender from any liability to Mezzanine Lender on
37
account of Senior Lender’s compliance with any Redirection Notice believed by Senior Lender to have been delivered by Loan Pledgee. Loan Pledgee shall be permitted to fully exercise its rights and remedies against Mezzanine Lender, and realize on any and all collateral granted by Mezzanine Lender to Loan Pledgee (and accept an assignment in lieu of foreclosure as to such collateral), in accordance with applicable law. In such event, the Senior Lender shall recognize Loan Pledgee (and any transferee which is also a Qualified Transferee at any foreclosure or similar sale held by Loan Pledgee or any transfer in lieu of such foreclosure), and its successors and assigns, as the successor to Mezzanine Lender’s rights, remedies and obligations under this Agreement and the Mezzanine Loan Documents and any such Loan Pledgee or Qualified Transferee shall assume in the writing the obligations of the Mezzanine Lender hereunder accruing from and after such Transfer and agrees to be bound by the terms and provisions hereof (it being agreed that notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, such Loan Pledgee shall not be required to assume the Mezzanine Lender’s obligations hereunder prior to realization upon its collateral). The rights of Loan Pledgee under this Section 15 shall remain effective unless and until Loan Pledgee shall have notified the Senior Lender in writing that its interest in the Mezzanine Loan has terminated.
(b) Notwithstanding any provisions herein to the contrary, if a conduit (“Conduit”) which is not a Qualified Transferee provides financing to Mezzanine Lender then such Conduit will be a permitted “Loan Pledgee” despite the fact it is not a Qualified Transferee if the following conditions are satisfied:
(i) The loan (the “Conduit Inventory Loan”) made by the Conduit to Mezzanine Lender to finance the acquisition and holding of its interest in Mezzanine Loan will require a third party (the “Conduit Credit Enhancer”) to provide credit enhancement;
(ii) the Conduit Credit Enhancer will be a Qualified Transferee;
(iii) Mezzanine Lender will pledge its interest in the Mezzanine Loan to the Conduit as collateral for the Conduit Inventory Loan;
(iv) the Conduit Credit Enhancer and the Conduit will agree that, if Mezzanine Lender defaults under the Conduit Inventory Loan, or if the Conduit is unable to refinance its outstanding commercial paper even if there is no default by Mezzanine Lender, the Conduit Credit Enhancer will purchase the Conduit Inventory Loan from the Conduit, and the Conduit will assign the pledge of Mezzanine Lender’s interest in the Mezzanine Loan to the Conduit Credit Enhancer; and
(v) unless the Conduit is in fact then a Qualified Transferee, the Conduit will not without obtaining a Rating Agency Confirmation from each Rating Agency have any greater right to acquire the interests in the Mezzanine Loan pledged by Mezzanine Lender, by foreclosure or otherwise, than would any other purchaser that is not a Qualified Transferee at a foreclosure sale conducted by a Loan Pledgee.
38
Section 16. Intentionally Omitted.
Section 17. Obligations Hereunder Not Affected. (a) All rights, interests, agreements and obligations of Senior Lender and Mezzanine Lender under this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect irrespective of:
(i) any lack of validity or enforceability of the Senior Loan Documents or the Mezzanine Loan Documents or any other agreement or instrument relating thereto;
(ii) any taking, exchange, release or non-perfection of any other collateral, or any taking, release or amendment or waiver of or consent to or departure from any guaranty, for all or any portion of the Senior Loan or the Mezzanine Loan;
(iii) any manner of application of collateral, or proceeds thereof, to all or any portion of the Senior Loan or the Mezzanine Loan, or any manner of sale or other disposition of any collateral for all or any portion of the Senior Loan or the Mezzanine Loan or any other assets of Borrower or Mezzanine Borrower or any other Affiliates of Borrower;
(iv) any change, restructuring or termination of the organizational structure or existence of Borrower or Mezzanine Borrower or any other Affiliates of Borrower; or
(v) any other circumstance which might otherwise constitute a defense available to, or a discharge of, Borrower, Mezzanine Borrower or a subordinated creditor or a Senior Lender subject to the terms hereof.
(b) This Agreement shall continue to be effective or be reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time any payment of all or any portion of the Senior Loan or the Mezzanine Loan is rescinded or must otherwise be returned by Senior Lender or Mezzanine Lender upon the insolvency, bankruptcy or reorganization of Borrower or Mezzanine Borrower or otherwise, all as though such payment had not been made.

Section 36. Venue. Any legal suit, action or proceeding against Senior Lender or Mezzanine Lender arising out of or relating to this Agreement may be instituted in any federal or state court in New York, and each of Senior Lender and Mezzanine Lender waives any objection which it may now or hereafter have to the laying of venue of any such suit, action or proceeding, and Senior Lender and Mezzanine Lender each hereby irrevocably submits to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of any such court in any suit, action or proceeding.
