(b) Nothing contained herein shall limit or restrict the right of any Junior Lender to exercise its rights and remedies, in law or in equity, or otherwise, in order to realize on any of its Separate Collateral that is not Equity Collateral (including exercising any remedy against any guarantor (a “Guarantor”) pursuant to any guaranty granted to any Junior Lender as additional collateral to secure the obligations under the applicable Junior Loan Documents) (a “Guaranty Claim”); provided, however, each Junior Lender agrees that it shall not seek or pursue the enforcement of any judgments against Guarantor pursuant to this clause (b) if (i) Senior Lender is simultaneously exercising any rights and remedies that it may have against such Guarantor under any guaranty granted to Senior Lender as additional collateral to secure the obligations under the Senior Loan Documents, (ii) a Senior Junior Lender is simultaneously exercising any rights and remedies that it may have against such Guarantor under any guaranty granted to such Senior Junior Lender as additional collateral to secure the obligations under the Senior Junior Loan Documents and any right of payment of any Junior Lender under a Guaranty Claim shall be subject and subordinate in all respects to the rights and claims of Senior Lender and any applicable Senior Junior Lenders against such Guarantor.

Senior Lender and any applicable Senior Junior Lender shall not impose any unreasonable delay in connection with any such Transfer.

32
and (ii) the applicable Senior Junior Loans and the terms, conditions and provisions of the applicable Senior Junior Loan Documents, in each case for the balance of the term thereof, which shall not be accelerated by Senior Lender or the related Senior Junior Lender solely due to such acquisition and shall remain in full force and effect; provided, however, that (A) such Qualified Ownership Interest Transferee shall cause, within ten (10) days after the transfer, (1) Borrower and (2) the applicable Senior Junior Borrowers, in each case to reaffirm in writing, subject to such exculpatory provisions as shall be set forth in the Senior Loan Documents and the related Senior Junior Loan Documents, as applicable, all of the terms, conditions and provisions of the Senior Loan Documents and the related Senior Junior Loan Documents, as applicable, on Borrower’s or the applicable Senior Junior Borrower’s, as applicable, part to be performed and (B) all defaults under (1) the Senior Loan and (2) the applicable Senior Junior Loans, in each case which remain uncured or unwaived as of the date of such acquisition have been cured by such Qualified Ownership Interest Transferee or in the case of defaults that can only be cured by the Junior Lender following its acquisition of the Equity Collateral, the same shall be cured by the Junior Lender prior to the expiration of the applicable Extended Non-Monetary Cure Period.

(c) Each Senior Junior Lender shall have the right without the consent of any applicable Subordinate Junior Lender, in each instance to enter into any amendment, deferral, extension, modification, increase, renewal, replacement, consolidation, supplement or waiver (collectively, a “Senior Junior Loan Modification”) of its Senior Junior Loan or Senior Junior Loan Documents, provided, that without first receiving the consent of any applicable Subordinate Junior Lender, no such Senior Junior Loan Modification shall: (i) increase the interest rate or principal amount of the applicable Senior Junior Loan except for increases in principal to cover workout costs and enforcement costs (including closing costs in connection therewith) and Protective Advances, (ii) increase in any other material respect any monetary obligations of the applicable Senior Junior Borrower under the applicable Senior Junior Loan Documents, (iii) shorten the scheduled maturity date of the applicable Senior Junior Loan (other than by acceleration of such Senior Junior Loan after the lapse of any cure periods granted to any Subordinate Junior Lender pursuant to the terms of this Agreement), (iv) modify or change the obligation to pay or remit any Default Advance Amounts due under this Agreement or increase the amount of any principal payments required under the applicable Senior Junior Loan or modify any related principal amortization schedule in a manner which would increase the

37
except, that (A) under no condition shall the principal balance of the applicable Senior Junior Loan be increased in violation of item (i) above (with respect to increase in principal amount only) or the provisions of item (xiii) or (xviii) above be violated, without in each case the prior written consent of each of the Subordinate Junior Lenders and (B) during any Junior Loan Monetary Cure Period, Junior Loan Extended Monetary Cure Period, Junior Loan Non-Monetary Cure Period or Junior Loan Extended Non-Monetary Cure Period, provided that each Subordinate Junior Lender is in compliance with the provisions of Section 6 above, the applicable Senior Junior Lender will not violate the other provisions of items (i) through (xviii) above without the prior written consent of each Subordinate Junior Lender.

(b) If (i) a Proceeding with respect to Borrower shall have occurred and has not been dismissed or (ii) there shall have occurred and be continuing an Event of Default under the Senior Loan Documents, after giving effect to Junior Lender’s cure rights pursuant to Section 12 hereof, except as expressly otherwise provided herein, Senior Lender shall be entitled to receive payment and performance in full of all amounts due or to become due to Senior Lender (including any Default Advance Amounts) before any Junior Lender is entitled to receive any payment (including any payment which may be payable by reason of the payment of any other indebtedness of Borrower being subordinated to the payment of the Junior Loans) on account of any Junior Loan. If (i) a Proceeding with respect to Senior Junior Borrower shall have occurred and has not been dismissed or (ii) there shall have occurred and be continuing an Event of Default under the Senior Junior Loan Documents, after giving effect to Subordinate Junior Lender’s cure rights pursuant to Section 12 hereof, the Senior Junior Lender holding the applicable Senior Junior Loan shall be entitled to receive payment and performance in full of all amounts due or to become due to such Senior Junior Lender (including any Default Advance
40
Amounts) before any applicable Subordinate Junior Lender is entitled to receive any payment (including any payment which may be payable by reason of the payment of any other indebtedness of any Junior Borrower being subordinated to the payment of the applicable Senior Junior Loans) on account of any applicable Subordinate Junior Loan. All payments or distributions upon or with respect to a Junior Loan which are received by a Junior Lender contrary to the provisions of this Agreement shall be received by such Junior Lender in trust for the benefit of Senior Lender and the applicable Senior Junior Lenders to the extent payable to the applicable Senior Junior Lenders and shall be paid within two (2) Business Days of receipt thereof over first to Senior Lender to the extent then payable to Senior Lender and then to the applicable Senior Junior Lenders in the same form as so received 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 first of the Senior Loan Liabilities in accordance with the terms of the Senior Loan Documents and then for, the payment or performance of the applicable Senior Junior Loan Liabilities in accordance with the terms of the Senior Junior Loan Documents. Nothing contained herein shall prohibit a Junior Lender from making Protective Advances (and adding the amount thereof to the principal balance of its Junior Loan) notwithstanding the existence of a default under the Senior Loan at such time.
(c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, including, without limitation, Sections 10(a) and (b) hereof, provided that (x) after giving effect to each Junior Lender’s cure rights pursuant to Section 12 hereof, no Event of Default shall exist and be continuing under the Senior Loan Documents or the applicable Senior Junior Loan Documents, or Junior Lender shall be pursuing its rights with respect to an Extended Non-Monetary Cure Period in accordance with and subject to the terms and conditions set forth in Section 12 hereof with respect thereto and (y) the maturity date of the Senior Loan and the applicable Senior Junior Loan (in each case, as the same may be extended) has not occurred or been accelerated (unless following any such acceleration the Senior Loan and/or the applicable Senior Junior Loan was reinstated and no Event of Default exists thereunder):
(i) a Junior Lender may accept and retain current and delinquent payments due and payable from time to time which the applicable Junior Borrower is obligated to pay to such Junior Lender, or prepayments permitted to be made by such Junior Borrower, in either case in accordance with the terms and conditions of the applicable Junior Loan Documents. If funds are distributed to a Junior Lender in accordance with the Senior Loan Documents or the applicable Senior Junior Loan Documents, Senior Lender and the applicable Senior Junior Lender agrees that, absent clear evidence of error, such distribution shall be deemed to have been properly paid to such Junior Lender and may be accepted and retained by such Junior Lender;
(ii) a Junior Lender may accept and retain amounts received in connection with the exercise of its rights and remedies with respect to the Separate Collateral; and
(iii) a Junior Lender may accept and retain prepayments of its respective Junior Loan, together with any prepayment fee payable pursuant to such Junior Loan Documents, from funds other than those funds held pursuant to the Senior Cash Management Agreement or any applicable Senior Junior Loan Cash Management Agreement.
41
(d) Subject to the terms and provisions of Section 6 hereof, a Junior Lender may, in it sole and absolute discretion without Senior Lender’s or any Senior Junior Lender’s consent, take any Equity Collateral Enforcement Action; provided, however, (i) such Junior Lender shall, prior to commencing any Equity Collateral Enforcement Action, give the Senior Lender and the applicable Senior Junior Lenders written notice of the default which would permit such Junior Lender to commence such Equity Collateral Enforcement Action, as well as provide Senior Lender and the applicable Senior Junior Lenders with copies of any and all material notices, pleadings, agreements, motions and briefs served upon, delivered to or with any party to any Equity Collateral Enforcement Action, (ii) such Junior Lender shall keep the Senior Lender and the applicable Senior Junior Lenders reasonably apprised as to the status of any Equity Collateral Enforcement Action and (iii) if and to the extent that a Qualified Transferee acquires all of the ownership interests in an applicable Junior 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, such Junior Lender’s rights pursuant to Sections 12 and 14 hereof and the obligations of Senior Lender and the applicable Senior Junior Lenders pursuant to Sections 12 and 14 hereof with respect to such Junior Lender shall be null and void and of no further force and effect and every other provision in this Agreement which references such Sections, rights or obligations shall thereafter be read as if such reference, right or obligation were not contained or specified therein with respect to such Junior Lender. Nothing in this Agreement is intended to create and this Agreement does not create any security interest by any Junior Lender in favor of Senior Lender and the applicable Senior Junior Lenders and shall not constitute a guarantee by any Junior Lender of its respective Junior Borrower’s obligations under the applicable Junior Loan Documents.
(e) 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, the buildings or improvements thereon, Senior Lender shall have a first and prior interest in and to any payments, awards, proceeds, distributions, or consideration arising from any such event after deducting the costs of collection (the “Award”), provided that if the amount of the Award is in excess of all amounts owed to Senior Lender under the Senior Loan Documents 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 restore the Premises, provided no Event of Default exists under the Senior Loan, such excess Award or portion to be so remitted to Borrower shall, if the applicable Junior Loan Documents provide that such excess is payable to the related Junior Lender and to the extent permitted under the Senior Loan Documents, be paid to or held by Senior Lender (or any other person or entity), and distributed in the following order of priority: (i) first, to Senior Lender in an amount equal to any Default Advance Amount advanced by Senior Lender, (ii) second, to the First Mezzanine Lender in an amount equal to the amount due the First Mezzanine Lender under the First Mezzanine Loan Documents, (iii) third, to First Mezzanine Lender in an amount equal to any Default Advance Amount advanced by First Mezzanine Lender, (iv) fourth, to the Second Mezzanine Lender in an amount equal to the amount due the Second Mezzanine Lender under the Second Mezzanine Loan Documents, and (v) fifth, to Borrower. In the event of any competing claims, Senior Lender shall continue to hold such excess Award until Senior Lender receives an agreement
42
signed by all parties making a claim to the excess Award or a final order of a court of competent jurisdiction directing Senior Lender as to how the excess Award is to be distributed. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event of a casualty or condemnation, Senior Lender shall release the Awards in any such event to 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 or any portion thereof in accordance with the terms and provisions of the Senior Loan Documents. Awards made available to Borrower for the repair or restoration of the Premises or any portion thereof shall not be subject to attachment by any Junior Lender, but this sentence is not intended to otherwise affect any lien, if any, that a Junior Lender may have upon such proceeds. Senior Lender shall use reasonable efforts to promptly (x) notify each Junior Lender of any requests by Borrower for the release of any Award and (y) provide each Junior Lender with any documentation delivered by Borrower to Senior Lender with respect to any such request by Borrower for the release of any Award.
(f) With respect to any insurance policies (collectively, the “Policies”) for the Premises for which a Junior Lender and/or its Affiliate are identified as “named insureds” or “additional insureds”, until such time as the Senior Loan has been paid in full, each Junior Lender acknowledges and agrees that no Junior Lender nor any of its Affiliates shall have any right whatsoever to (i) contest or challenge (in their capacity as named insureds) any such settlement or adjustment approved by Senior Lender, (ii) disapprove any settlement or adjustment of any claim or any distribution of proceeds under the Policies approved by Senior Lender, or (iii) be issued checks, drafts or wires (jointly or otherwise) representing proceeds of the Policies. Nothing contained in this subparagraph (f) is meant to limit any rights that a Junior Lender has under its respective Junior Loan Documents to approve of any action taken by the applicable Junior Borrower. Senior Lender shall, at a Junior Lender’s request, advise such Junior Lender from time to time as to the status of any settlement or adjustment of any claim or any distribution of proceeds under the Policies.

Each of the Junior Lenders and Senior Lender hereby waives any requirement for marshaling of assets hereby or the right to assert that an election of remedies has occurred in connection with any foreclosure of any security interest or any other realization upon collateral in respect of the Senior Loan Documents or the Junior Loan Documents, as applicable, or any exercise of any rights of set-off or otherwise. Each of the Junior Lenders and Senior Lender assumes all responsibility for keeping itself informed as to the condition (financial or otherwise) of Borrower, each Junior 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 any Junior Lender shall have any duty whatsoever to obtain, advise or deliver information or documents to the others relative to such condition, business, assets and/or operations.

(c) Payments, Distributions and Protective Advances. No payment or distribution to Senior Lender pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement and no Protective Advance by a Junior Lender and no other action taken by a Junior Lender to cure any default under the Senior Loan Documents shall entitle such Junior Lender to exercise any right of subrogation in respect thereof or provide such Junior Lender with any claim against Borrower, in each case, prior to the payment in full of the Senior Loan Liabilities, and each of the Junior Lenders agrees that, except with respect to the enforcement of its remedies under the Junior Loan Documents related to the Junior Loan held by such Junior Lender permitted hereunder, prior to the satisfaction of all Senior Loan Liabilities it shall not acquire, by subrogation or otherwise, any lien, estate, right 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. No payment or distribution to any applicable Senior Junior Lender pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement and no Protective Advance by a Junior Lender shall entitle such Junior Lender to exercise any right of subrogation in respect thereof prior to the payment in full of the applicable Senior Junior Loan Liabilities, and each Junior Lender agrees that, except with respect to the enforcement of its remedies under the Junior Loan Documents related to the Junior Loan held by such Junior Lender permitted hereunder, prior to the satisfaction of all applicable Senior Junior Loan Liabilities it shall not acquire, by subrogation or otherwise, any lien, estate, right or other interest in any portion of the Premises, the Separate Collateral of any applicable Senior Junior Lender or any other collateral now securing the Senior Loan or any applicable Senior Junior Loan or the proceeds therefrom that is or may be prior to, or of equal priority to, any of the applicable Senior Junior Loan Documents or the Senior Loan Documents or the liens, rights, estates and interests created thereby.

(vi) The terms and provisions of this Section 11(d) apply to each Junior Lender solely in its capacity as a Junior Lender.
Section 12. Rights of Cure.
(a) Senior Loan Default. Prior to Senior Lender commencing any Enforcement Action under the Senior Loan Documents, Senior Lender shall provide written notice of such default to each Junior Lender and any Loan Pledgee entitled to notice thereof pursuant to Section 16 hereof, whether or not Senior Lender is obligated to give notice thereof to Borrower (each, a “Senior Loan Default Notice”) and shall provide each Junior Lender and any Loan Pledgee with an opportunity to cure such default in accordance with the provisions of this Section 12. In the event Senior Lender has delivered a Senior Loan Default Notice pursuant to Sections 12(a)(i) or (ii) below which has not been cured by a Junior Lender, Senior Lender shall provide the Junior Lenders with copies of any and all material notices relating to such Event of Default, pleadings, agreements, motions and briefs served upon, delivered to or with any party to any Enforcement Action and otherwise keep the Junior Lenders reasonably apprised as to the current status of any Enforcement Action. Prior to or concurrently with undertaking any curative action with respect to the Senior Loan, a Junior Lender shall provide the other Junior Lenders with written notice thereof. Senior Lender shall permit the Junior Lenders an opportunity to cure such default before completing any Enforcement Action in accordance with the following terms:
(i) Monetary Default. If the default identified in the Senior Loan Default Notice is a monetary default relating to (1) any scheduled payment of principal or interest, Junior Lenders shall have until ten (10) Business Days after the giving of the Senior Loan Default Notice to cure such scheduled monetary default and (2) the payment of any other liquidated sum of money, Junior Lenders shall have
47
until ten (10) Business Days after the giving of the Senior Loan Default Notice to cure such monetary default (each such ten (10) Business Day cure period, a “Monetary Cure Period”); provided, however, that in the event a Junior Lender elects to cure such monetary default, such Junior Lender hereby agrees (x) to indemnify, defend and hold harmless Senior Lender for all cost, expenses, losses, liabilities, obligations, damages, penalties, and disbursements arising under any pooling and servicing agreement applicable to the Senior Loan to the extent imposed on, incurred by or asserted against Senior Lender due to or arising from such Monetary Cure Period, (y) to reimburse Senior Lender for any interest charged by Senior Lender or the servicer on any advances for monthly payments of principal and/or interest on the Senior Loan and/or on any Protective Advances during the Monetary Cure Period, and (z) if the monetary default is not cured within the Monetary Cure Period but is thereafter cured by a Junior Lender, to pay Senior Lender the excess of interest accruing at the Default Rate (without duplication) over interest accruing at the Interest Rate under the Senior Loan for the number of days that such default continued uncured less any amounts paid by such Junior Lender under (y) above. A Junior Lender shall not be required, in order to effect a cure hereunder during the Monetary Cure Period (other than the cure by a Junior Lender of a default in the payment of the Senior Loan in full on the maturity date thereof), to pay any late charges or any interest at the Default Rate under the Senior Loan Documents (irrespective of any cure of such default by a Junior Lender pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement), and no late charges or interest at the Default Rate shall accrue against such Junior Lender for such period. There shall be no right to cure as hereinabove set forth with respect to monthly scheduled interest and principal payments for a period of more than six (6) consecutive months (regardless of which Junior Lender has cured such monetary default) unless such Junior Lender seeking to cure beyond such six (6) month period has commenced and is continuing to diligently pursue its rights against such Junior Lender’s Equity Collateral, in which case such Junior Lender shall be entitled to continue curing such monetary defaults involving monthly scheduled interest and principal payments until the occurrence of any voluntary or involuntary Proceeding involving Borrower (such additional monetary cure period, an “Extended Monetary Cure Period”). In the event more than one Junior Lender cures any monetary default in accordance with the terms of this Section, Senior Lender hereby agrees (x) to accept the cure from the junior most Junior Lender and (y) to return to any Senior Junior Lender(s) within three (3) Business Days of accepting such cure from the junior most Junior Lender any funds tendered by the Senior Junior Lender(s). The cure period for a Junior Lender with respect to a monetary default shall run concurrently with the cure period for the other Junior Lenders with respect to such monetary default and in no event sequentially. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if one Junior Lender has satisfied the conditions for an Extended Monetary Cure Period with respect to defaults involving monthly scheduled interest and principal payments as set forth above and thereafter ceases to qualify for such Extended Monetary Cure Period (either by failing to make cure payments or failing to diligently pursue its rights against its Equity Collateral) then (A) such Junior Lender’s cure rights with
48
respect to all monetary defaults shall immediately terminate (unless Borrower shall have cured all defaults and reinstated the Senior Loan in good standing) and (B) notwithstanding any of the other Junior Lender’s earlier election not to cure the defaults involving monthly scheduled interest and principal payments, such other Junior Lenders shall be entitled to succeed to all rights under the existing Extended Monetary Cure Period, upon written notice to the Senior Lender, so long as such other Junior Lender promptly commences and thereafter diligently pursues its rights against its Equity Collateral and otherwise satisfies the provisions of this Section 12.
(ii) Non-Monetary Default. If the default is of a non-monetary nature, each Junior Lender shall have the same period of time as Borrower under the Senior Loan Documents to cure such non-monetary default as if the first notice to Borrower of the same was the date of giving of a Senior Loan Default Notice with respect thereto (if such date is after the date on which Borrower is so notified) (“Non-Monetary Cure Period”); provided, however, if such non-monetary default cannot reasonably be cured within such period or if no cure period is provided and, if applicable, curative action was commenced within the initial cure period set forth in the Senior Loan Documents and, if there is a cure period, is being diligently pursued by a Junior Lender (or with respect to a non-monetary default that is not susceptible of cure and does not materially impair the value, use or operation of the Premises taken as a whole, all as determined in the reasonable judgment of Senior Lender (an “Senior Loan Uncurable Default”), if a Junior Lender shall be diligently pursuing the foreclosure of its Equity Collateral, as determined in the reasonable judgment of the Senior Lender), then such Junior Lender only shall be given an additional period of time as is reasonably necessary for such Junior Lender in the exercise of due diligence to cure such non-monetary default (or, in the case of any such Senior Loan Uncurable Default, then such Junior Lender shall be given an additional period of time only as is reasonably necessary for such Junior Lender in the exercise of due diligence to complete such foreclosure), for so long as (1) such Junior Lender diligently and expeditiously proceeds to cure such non-monetary default (or with respect to a Senior Loan Uncurable Default, if such Junior Lender shall be diligently pursuing the foreclosure of its Equity Collateral and such non-monetary default does not materially impair the value, use or operation of the Premises, all as determined in the reasonable judgment of Senior Lender), (2) timely payment of Senior Lender’s regularly scheduled monthly interest and amortization payments under the Senior Loan and any other amounts due under the Senior Loan Documents is made, (3) such additional period of time does not exceed sixty (60) days, unless such non-monetary default is of a nature that cannot be cured within such sixty (60) days without ownership of such Junior Lender’s Equity Collateral or is a Senior Loan Uncurable Default, in which case such Junior Lender shall have such additional time as is reasonably necessary to gain ownership of its Equity Collateral, provided that such Junior Lender is continuously and diligently pursuing the ownership of its Equity Collateral and after foreclosure of its Equity Collateral diligently pursues the cure of such non-monetary default and such non-monetary default does not materially impair the value, use or operation of the
49
Premises, all as determined in the reasonable judgment of Senior Lender, (4) such non-monetary default is not caused by a bankruptcy, insolvency or assignment for the benefit of creditors of Borrower or during such Non-Monetary Cure Period a bankruptcy, insolvency or assignment for the benefit of creditors of Borrower does not occur, and (5) during such Non-Monetary Cure Period, with respect to such non-monetary default (and any additional period of time provided for above), there is no further material adverse effect on Borrower, the Senior Loan or the value, use or operation of the Premises taken as a whole, all as determined in the reasonable judgment of Senior Lender (such additional Non-Monetary Cure Period, an “Extended Non-Monetary Cure Period”). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, in no event shall any Extended Non-Monetary Cure Period extend beyond the date that is five (5) years prior to the Rated Final Distribution Date. If a Junior Lender is exercising its cure right, it shall consult with the applicable Senior Junior Lenders and keep such Senior Junior Lenders informed as to its progress. The Non-Monetary Cure Period and any additional cure period granted hereunder to a Junior Lender electing to cure a non-monetary default of Borrower (including, with respect to a Senior Loan Uncurable Default, any additional time as is reasonably necessary for a Junior Lender to foreclose on its Equity Collateral) shall automatically terminate upon the commencement of a Proceeding involving the Borrower, unless the Proceeding is dismissed in which case the right will be deemed reinstated from and after such dismissal to the extent the other conditions of this Section 12(a) are satisfied. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if a Junior Lender abandons its cure efforts during a Non-Monetary Cure Period or Extended Non-Monetary Cure Period or fails to satisfy any of the conditions set forth in clauses (1), (2) and (3) above during a Non-Monetary Cure Period, then (A) such Junior Lender’s cure rights with respect to the applicable non-monetary default (but not any other non-monetary default) shall immediately terminate and (B) notwithstanding any other Junior Lenders’ earlier election not to cure the applicable non-monetary default, such other Junior Lenders shall be entitled to succeed to all rights under the existing Non-Monetary Cure Period, upon written notice to the Senior Lender, so long as any such other Junior Lender promptly commences and thereafter diligently pursues its rights against its Separate Collateral and the other conditions set forth in clauses(1), (2), (3), (4) and (5) above are satisfied.
(iii) To the extent that any Junior Lender or any Qualified Ownership Interest Transferee, in accordance with the provisions and conditions of this Agreement, acquires the ownership interests in Borrower or any Senior Junior Borrower, as applicable, pursuant to an Equity Collateral Enforcement Action, such Junior Lender or such Qualified Ownership Interest 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 (including any extension rights as provided therein), which shall not be accelerated by Senior Lender solely due to such acquisition and shall remain in full force and effect, provided, that (i) such Junior Lender or Qualified Ownership Interest Transferee shall have caused Borrower and any new Third-Party Obligor to reaffirm their respective obligations under the Senior Loan Documents in writing, (subject to such
50
exculpatory provisions as set forth therein) and thereafter to perform, 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 which remain uncured as of the date of such acquisition have been cured by such Qualified Ownership Interest Transferee or waived by Senior Lender except for a Senior Loan Uncurable Defaults. Notwithstanding any contrary or inconsistent provision of this Agreement, the Senior Loan Documents or the Junior Loan Documents, no acquisition or other fee or similar charge shall be due in connection with such Junior Lender’s or such other Qualified Ownership Interest Transferee’s acquisition of any interest in Borrower, any Junior Borrower or the Premises as the result of a Equity Collateral Enforcement Action or assignment in lieu of foreclosure or other negotiated settlement in lieu of any of the foregoing. In addition, to the extent that a Junior Lender or any Qualified Ownership Interest Transferee, in accordance with the provisions and conditions of this Agreement, acquires the ownership interests in such Borrower, pursuant to an Enforcement Action or otherwise during the thirty (30) days prior to the maturity date (or any extended maturity date, as applicable) of the Senior Loan, such Junior Lender, or such Qualified Ownership Interest Transferee shall only be required to deliver a notice of extension of the term of such Senior Loan five (5) Business Days prior to the maturity date notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Senior Loan Agreement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein or in the Senior Loan Documents, Senior Lender shall have no obligation to continue to make Advances under the Senior Loan Documents if Junior Lender or a Qualified Ownership Interest Transferee acquires the ownership interests in Borrower pursuant to a Equity Collateral Enforcement Action except as set forth in Section 3(c) hereof.
(iv) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, if the default in question may, in Senior Lender’s judgment, delay completion of the Project Improvements in accordance with the Senior Loan Documents beyond the Completion Date, the Junior Lenders shall not have the right to cure such default on the part of Borrower if (a) such default is not, in Senior Lender’s judgment, capable of being cured on or prior to the Initial Maturity Date or (b) the Project Improvements, in Senior Lender’s judgment, are not capable of being completed prior to the Initial Maturity Date and otherwise in accordance with the Senior Loan Documents.
(b) Junior Loan Default. Prior to accelerating a Junior Loan or commencing any Equity Collateral Enforcement Action by reason of an Event of Default under the applicable Junior Loan Documents, the Junior Lender holding the Junior Loan that is subject to an Event of Default shall provide written notice of the default which would permit such Junior Lender to accelerate the applicable Junior Loan or commence an Equity Collateral Enforcement Action to the applicable Subordinate Junior Lenders and any Loan Pledgees entitled to notice thereof pursuant to Section 16 hereof, whether or not such Junior Lender is obligated to give notice thereof to the Junior Borrower under such Junior Loan (each, a “Junior Loan Default Notice”). Except in connection with such Junior Borrower’s failure to repay such Junior Loan in full on the maturity date thereof, the Junior Lender holding the Junior Loan that is subject to an Event of
51
Default shall permit the applicable Subordinate Junior Lenders an opportunity to cure such default in accordance with the provisions of this Section 12 before completing any Equity Collateral Enforcement Action. In the event a Junior Borrower fails to repay a Junior Loan in full on the maturity date thereof, each of the Subordinate Junior Lenders with respect to such Junior Loan shall have the right to purchase such Junior Loan pursuant to the terms, and subject to the conditions, provided in Section 14(b) hereof. Prior to or concurrently with undertaking any curative action with respect to a Junior Loan, a Junior Lender shall provide the other Junior Lenders with written notice thereof. Each Junior Lender shall keep the applicable Subordinate Junior Lenders reasonably apprised as to the status of any Equity Collateral Enforcement Action.
(i) Junior Loan Monetary Default. If the default identified in the Junior Loan Default Notice is a monetary default relating to (1) any scheduled payment of principal or interest, the Subordinate Junior Lenders shall have until ten (10) Business Days after the giving by the applicable Senior Junior Lender of the Junior Loan Default Notice to cure such scheduled monetary default and (2) the payment of any other liquidated sum of money, the Subordinate Junior Lenders shall have until ten (10) Business Days after the giving by the applicable Senior Junior Lender of the Senior Loan Default Notice to cure such monetary default (each such ten (10) Business Day cure period, a “Junior Loan Monetary Cure Period”); provided, however, that in the event a Subordinate Junior Lender elects to cure such monetary default, such Subordinate Junior Lender hereby agrees (x) to indemnify, defend and hold harmless the applicable Senior Junior Lender for all cost, expenses, losses, liabilities, obligations, damages, penalties, and disbursements arising under any servicing agreement applicable to the Senior Junior Loan to the extent imposed on, incurred by or asserted against Senior Junior Lender due to or arising from such Junior Loan Monetary Cure Period, (y) to reimburse the applicable Senior Junior Lender for any interest charged by the applicable Senior Junior Lender or the servicer on any advances for monthly payments of principal and/or interest on the applicable Senior Junior Loan and/or on any Protective Advances during the Junior Loan Monetary Cure Period, and (z) if the monetary default is not cured within the Junior Loan Monetary Cure Period but is thereafter cured by a Subordinate Junior Lender, to pay the applicable Senior Junior Lender the excess of interest accruing at the Default Rate (without duplication) over interest accruing at the Interest Rate under the applicable Senior Junior Loan for the number of days that such default continued uncured less any amounts paid by such Subordinate Junior Lender under (y) above. A Subordinate Junior Lender shall not be required, in order to effect a cure hereunder during the Junior Loan Monetary Cure Period (other than the cure by a Subordinate Junior Lender of a default in the payment of the applicable Senior Junior Loan in full on the maturity date thereof), to pay any late charges or any interest at the Default Rate under the applicable Senior Junior Loan Documents (irrespective of any cure of such default by a Subordinate Junior Lender pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement), and no late charges or interest at the Default Rate shall accrue against such Subordinate Junior Lender for such period. There shall be no right to cure as hereinabove set forth with respect to monthly scheduled interest and principal payments for a period of more than six (6) consecutive months (regardless of which Subordinate Junior Lender
52
has cured such monetary default) unless such Subordinate Junior Lender seeking to cure beyond such six (6) month period has commenced and is continuing to diligently pursue its rights against such Subordinate Junior Lender’s Equity Collateral, in which case such Subordinate Junior Lender shall be entitled to continue curing such monetary defaults involving monthly scheduled interest and principal payments until the occurrence of any voluntary or involuntary Proceeding involving the applicable Junior Borrower (such additional monetary cure period, an “Junior Loan Extended Monetary Cure Period”). In the event more than one Subordinate Junior Lender cures any monetary default in accordance with the terms of this Section, the applicable Senior Junior Lender hereby agrees (x) to accept the cure from the junior most Subordinate Junior Lender and (y) to return to any Senior Subordinate Junior Lender(s) within three (3) Business Days of accepting such cure from the junior most Subordinate Junior Lender any funds tendered by the Senior Subordinate Junior Lender(s). The cure period for a Subordinate Junior Lender with respect to a monetary default shall run concurrently with the cure period for the other Subordinate Junior Lenders with respect to such monetary default and in no event sequentially. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if a Subordinate Junior Lender elects to pursue such cure of defaults involving monthly scheduled debt service payments as set forth above and thereafter either fails to make the required cure payments or fails to diligently pursue its rights against such Subordinate Junior Lender’s Equity Collateral, then notwithstanding the earlier election of the remaining Subordinate Junior Lenders not to cure the defaults involving monthly scheduled debt service payments, such other Subordinate Junior Lenders shall be entitled to succeed to all such cure rights, upon written notice to the Senior Junior Lender that is the holder of the Senior Junior Loan that is subject to the Event of Default, so long as such remaining Subordinate Junior Lender promptly commences and thereafter diligently pursues its rights against its Equity Collateral and otherwise satisfies the provisions of this Section 12(b)(i). If the default referenced in a Junior Loan Default Notice has been cured such that there is no longer an Event of Default under the applicable Junior Loan Documents, the applicable Subordinate Junior Lenders shall have the same Junior Loan Monetary Cure Period with respect to any future Junior Loan Default Notice. In the event that the Senior Loan and one or more Senior Junior Loans are concurrently in default, a Subordinate Junior Lender shall have no right to exercise its cure rights with respect to the Senior Loan under Sections 12(a)(i) or (ii) hereof or the Senior Junior Loan(s) under this Section 12(b)(i) or Section 12(b)(ii) below unless such Subordinate Junior Lender is simultaneously exercising its cure rights with respect to the Senior Loan under Sections 12(a)(i) and/or (ii) hereof (to the extent that such Subordinate Junior Lender is permitted to exercise such cure rights under Sections 12(a)(i) and/or (ii) hereof) and with respect to each such Senior Junior Loan(s) under this Section 12(b)(i) above or Section 12(b)(ii) below (to the extent that such Subordinate Junior Lender is permitted to exercise such cure rights under Sections 12(b)(i) and/or (ii) hereof).
(ii) Junior Loan Non-Monetary Cure Period. If the default identified in the Junior Loan Default Notice is of a non-monetary nature, (aa) the applicable
53
Subordinate Junior Lender having the lowest priority shall have fifteen (15) Business Days from the later of (A) the receipt by it of a Junior Loan Default Notice and (B) the expiration of the applicable Senior Junior Borrower’s cure period, if any, for such non-monetary default provided in the applicable Senior Junior Loan Documents, to cure such non-monetary default (such period, the “Initial Junior Loan Non-Monetary Cure Period”); and (bb) if the applicable Subordinate Junior Lender having the lowest priority elects not to cure such non-monetary default prior to the expiration of the Initial Junior Loan Non-Monetary Cure Period, the other remaining Subordinate Junior Lenders shall have the right to cure such non-monetary default within five (5) additional Business Days after such Subordinate Junior Lender receives notice that the next most junior Subordinate Junior Lender failed to cure such non-monetary default (the Initial Junior Loan Non-Monetary Cure Period or such additional cure period, as applicable, the “Junior Loan Non-Monetary Cure Period”); provided, that (1) except as provided in the immediately following clause (2), in no event shall the Junior Loan Non-Monetary Cure Period extend beyond the date that is the later of (A) five (5) Business Days after the Subordinate Junior Lender with the highest priority with respect to the Senior Junior Loan that is subject to a default has received notice that the Subordinate Junior Lender with the next lower priority has failed to cure such default and (B) twenty-five (25) Business Days after the expiration of Senior Junior Borrower’s cure period, if any, for such non-monetary default provided in the Senior Junior Loan Documents, to cure such non-monetary default; and (2) if such non-monetary default is susceptible of cure but cannot reasonably be cured within the applicable Junior Loan Non-Monetary Cure Period and curative action was promptly commenced and is being diligently pursued by a Subordinate Junior Lender (or with respect to a non-monetary default that is not susceptible of cure and does not materially impair the value, use or operation of the applicable Senior Junior Lender’s Equity Collateral, all as reasonably determined by such Senior Junior Lender (a “Junior Loan Uncurable Default”), if a Subordinate Junior Lender shall be diligently pursuing the foreclosure of its Equity Collateral, as reasonably determined by such Senior Junior Lender), such Subordinate Junior Lender shall be given an additional period of time as is reasonably necessary for such Subordinate Junior Lender in the exercise of due diligence to cure such non-monetary default (or, in the case of a Junior Loan Uncurable Default, then such Subordinate Junior Lender shall be given an additional period of time as is reasonably necessary for such Subordinate Junior Lender in the exercise of due diligence to complete the foreclosure of its Equity Collateral) for so long as (A) such Subordinate Junior Lender makes or causes to be made timely payment of the applicable Senior Junior Borrower’s regularly scheduled monthly principal and/or interest payments under the applicable Senior Junior Loan and any other amounts due under the applicable Senior Junior Loan Documents, (B) such additional period of time does not exceed forty-five (45) days, unless such non-monetary default is of a nature that cannot be cured within such forty-five (45) days, in which case, such Subordinate Junior Lender shall have such additional time as is reasonably necessary to cure such non-monetary default, provided that such Subordinate Junior Lender is
54
continuously and diligently pursuing a cure of such non-monetary default (or, with respect to a Junior Loan Uncurable Default, such Subordinate Junior Lender shall have such additional time as is reasonably necessary to gain ownership of its Equity Collateral, provided that such Subordinate Junior Lender is continuously and diligently pursuing the ownership of its Equity Collateral), (C) such default is not caused by a bankruptcy, insolvency or assignment for the benefit of creditors of the applicable Senior Junior Borrower, and (D) during such Junior Loan Non-Monetary Cure Period (and any additional period of time provided for above), there is no material impairment to the value, use or operation of the applicable Senior Junior Lender’s Equity Collateral as reasonably determined by such Senior Junior Lender (such additional Junior Loan Non-Monetary Cure Period, an “Junior Loan Extended Non-Monetary Cure Period”). If a Subordinate Junior Lender has commenced exercising any such cure right during a Junior Loan Non-Monetary Cure Period and elects not to proceed with such cure, such Junior Lender shall promptly notify the remaining Subordinate Junior Lenders, and each remaining Subordinate Junior Lender shall be deemed in compliance with the terms hereof if it commences curing such event within five (5) Business Days following receipt of written notice of such election not to proceed with such cure by the Junior Lender that precedes it in priority of cure right pursuant to this Section 12(b)(ii) and otherwise complies with the provision of the immediately preceding sentence. The Junior Loan Non-Monetary Cure Period and any additional cure period granted hereunder to a Subordinate Junior Lender electing to cure the non-monetary default (including, with respect to a Junior Loan Uncurable Default, any additional time as is reasonably necessary for a Subordinate Junior Lender to foreclose on its Equity Collateral) shall automatically terminate upon the bankruptcy (or similar insolvency) of Borrower or any applicable Senior Junior Borrower. In the event that the Senior Loan and one or more Senior Junior Loans are concurrently in default, a Subordinate Junior Lender shall have no right to exercise its cure rights with respect to the Senior Loan under Section 12(a) hereof or the Senior Junior Loan(s) under Section 12(b)(i) above or this Section 12(b)(ii) unless such Subordinate Junior Lender is simultaneously exercising its cure rights with respect to the Senior Loan under Sections 12(a)(i) and/or (ii) hereof (to the extent that such Subordinate Junior Lender is permitted to exercise such cure rights under Sections 12(a)(i) and/or (ii) hereof) and with respect to each such Senior Junior Loan(s) under Section 12(b)(i) above or this Section 12(b)(ii) (to the extent that such Subordinate Junior Lender is permitted to exercise such cure rights under Sections 12(b)(i) and/or (ii) hereof). The Junior Loan Non-Monetary Cure Period and any additional cure period granted hereunder to any Subordinate Junior Lender electing to cure a non-monetary default of any applicable Senior Junior Borrower (including, with respect to a Junior Loan Uncurable Default, any additional time as is reasonably necessary for a Subordinate Junior Lender to foreclose on its Equity Collateral) shall automatically terminate upon the bankruptcy (or similar insolvency) of such applicable Senior Junior Borrower.
(c) Cash Management. So long as no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing under the Senior Loan Documents, subject to the cure rights of the Junior
55
Lenders hereunder and the repayment of any Mortgage Shortfalls and/or any Default Advance Amounts in accordance with this Agreement, all funds held and applied pursuant to the Senior Cash Management Agreement and Senior Loan Agreement, shall continue to be applied in the manner required thereunder prior to the occurrence of an Event of Default under the Senior Loan. So long as no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing under the First Mezzanine Loan Documents, subject to the cure rights of the Junior Lenders hereunder and the repayment of any Mortgage Shortfalls and/or any Default Advance Amounts in accordance with this Agreement, all funds held and applied pursuant to the First Mezzanine Cash Management Agreement and First Mezzanine Loan Agreement, shall continue to be applied in the manner required thereunder prior to the occurrence of an Event of Default under the First Mezzanine Loan Documents. Senior Lender and each Junior Lender acknowledge and agree that (i) the Administrative Agent shall disburse all funds in accordance with this Agreement and (ii) all amounts to be remitted by Borrower under the Senior Loan Documents, by First Mezzanine Borrower under the First Mezzanine Loan Documents and by Second Mezzanine Borrower under the Second Mezzanine Loan Documents shall be remitted to the Administrative Agent and disbursed in accordance with the applicable Loan Documents and this Agreement.
Section 13. Replacement of Manager or Servicer. In the event that Senior Lender and each Junior Lender are unable to unanimously agree as to a replacement of the Property Manager in accordance with the Loan Coordination Agreement, then Senior Junior Lender shall have the right to select the replacement for the Property Manager, provided such replacement property manager is a Qualified Manager or a Rating Agency Confirmation has been obtained with respect to such Person. In the event that the Senior Lender and each Junior Lender are unable to unanimously agree as to a Person to replace the Servicer as required pursuant to the Loan Coordination Agreement, then Senior Lender shall have the right to replace the Servicer, provided that after the Securitization of the Senior Loan (a) any such new servicer must enter into a servicing agreement acceptable to the master servicer under the Securitization and (b) a Rating Agency Confirmation must be obtained with respect to such new servicer.
Section 14. Right to Purchase Senior Loan and the Senior Junior Loans.
(a) At any time after (i) the occurrence and during the continuance of a monetary Event of Default under the Senior Loan or non-monetary Event of Default under the Senior Loan which is subject to an Enforcement Action or (ii) if the Senior Loan is a “specially serviced mortgage loan” under the applicable trust and servicing agreement or pooling and servicing agreement related thereto as a result of a monetary Event of Default or material non-monetary Event of Default occurring under the Senior Loan (each of the foregoing, a “Purchase Option Event”), upon ten (10) Business Days’ prior written notice to Senior Lender (the “Purchase Notice”), a Junior Lender (and, if permitted by the applicable participation agreement, a Junior Lenders’ participant) shall have the right to purchase, in whole, but not in part, the Senior Loan for a price equal to the sum of (without duplication) the outstanding principal balance of the Senior Loan, together with all accrued interest and other amounts due thereon (including, without limitation, any late charges (other than late charges due on the entire principal balance of the Senior Loan on the maturity date), default interest (except any default interest which is deemed additional compensation to the servicer) and post-petition interest, but specifically excluding prepayment premiums, exit fees and yield maintenance premium), any unreimbursed Protective Advances made by Senior Lender or any servicer and any interest
56
charged by Senior Lender or any servicer on any advances for monthly payments of principal and/or interest on the Senior Loan and/or on any Protective Advances), including all costs and expenses (including reasonable legal fees and expenses) actually incurred by Senior Lender in enforcing the terms of the Senior Loan Documents, any Default Advance Amounts funded by Senior Lender on behalf of such purchasing Junior Lender, any fees and expenses payable or reimbursable to any servicer, trustee or fiscal agent (provided that any such fees and expenses are not duplicative of any default interest, late charges or other fees and expenses otherwise payable by a Junior Lender to Senior Lender under this Section 14) including, without limitation, special servicing to any special servicer under the applicable pooling and servicing agreement, interest on advances made by any of them (but excluding any workout or liquidation fees if the Senior Loan is purchased within ninety (90) days of the Purchase Option Event) whether or not any such entity may be deemed to be Senior Lender (collectively, the “Senior Loan Purchase Price”). In the event that any Junior Lender other than the First Mezzanine Lender elects to purchase the Senior Loan pursuant to this Section 14(a), the Subordinate Junior Lender with the lowest priority with respect to the other Junior Lenders that have elected to purchase the Senior Loan shall have the exclusive right to so purchase the Senior Loan, provided that such Subordinate Junior Lender shall also be required to concurrently purchase each of the applicable Senior Junior Loans from the Senior Junior Lenders holding such applicable Senior Junior Loans (regardless of whether such Senior Junior Lenders were among the Junior Lenders which had elected to purchase the Senior Loan). Such purchase of each of the Senior Junior Loans shall be for a price equal to sum of (without duplication) the outstanding principal balance of the Senior Junior Loan, together with all accrued interest and other amounts due thereon (including, without limitation, advances made by Senior Junior Lender or any servicer and post petition interests), any unreimbursed Protective Advances made by such Senior Junior Lender or any servicer), including all costs and expenses (including reasonable legal fees and expenses) actually incurred by such Senior Junior Lender in enforcing the terms of the applicable Senior Junior Loan Documents, any Default Advance Amounts funded by Senior Junior Lender on behalf of such purchasing Subordinate Junior Lender, any fees and expenses payable or reimbursable to any servicer (provided that any such fees and expenses are not duplicative of any default interest, late charges or other fees and expenses otherwise payable by a Subordinate Junior Lender to such Senior Junior Lender under this Section 14); but excluding any workout or liquidation fees, prepayment fees or premiums that would be due if the applicable Senior Junior Borrower was prepaying the applicable Senior Junior Loan at the time of such purchase in violation of the prohibition against voluntary prepayment, late charges and default interest and exit fees (such price as to each such Senior Junior Loan, the “Senior Junior Loan Purchase Price”). A Subordinate Junior Lender may not close the purchase of the Senior Loan without concurrently closing the purchase of the applicable Senior Junior Loans in accordance with the terms of this paragraph. If any Subordinate Junior Lender which has elected to purchase the Senior Loan fails to complete such purchase within thirty (30) days after delivery of a Purchase Notice or fails to concurrently purchase the applicable Senior Junior Loans as required hereunder, then such Purchase Notice shall be deemed invalid, such defaulting Subordinate Junior Lender shall cease to have any right to purchase the Senior Loan (and any applicable Senior Junior Loan) in connection with the applicable Purchase Option Event and the remaining Junior Lenders shall thereafter be entitled to exercise their purchase rights under, and in accordance with, this Section 14(a). Senior Lender shall close the sale of the Senior Loan to the applicable Junior Lender on the date set forth in the Senior Purchase Notice subject to the terms and conditions of
57
this Agreement. Each Junior Lender agrees that the sale of the Senior Loan shall, if the Senior Loan is included in a Securitization at such time, comply with all requirements of the agreement pursuant to which the Certificates were issued and that all costs and expenses related thereto shall be paid by the applicable Junior Lender. Concurrently with payment to Senior Lender of the Senior Loan Purchase Price, Senior Lender shall deliver or cause to be delivered to the Junior Lender exercising the purchase right hereunder all Senior Loan Documents held by or on behalf of Senior Lender and will execute in favor of the Junior Lender or its designee exercising the purchase right hereunder, assignment documentation, in form and substance reasonably acceptable to Senior Lender and such Junior Lender, at the sole cost and expense of such Junior 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 power and authority of the Senior Lender to transfer the Senior Loan and as to Senior Lender’s ownership and not having previously assigned, transferred, participated or encumbered its rights in the Senior Loan unless such participation or encumbrance will be released prior to the transfer). Concurrently with payment to each of Senior Junior Lenders of the applicable Senior Junior Loan Purchase Price for the Senior Junior Loan held by each such Senior Junior Lender, each applicable Senior Junior Lender shall deliver or cause to be delivered to the Subordinate Junior Lender exercising the purchase right hereunder all Senior Junior Loan Documents held by or on behalf of such Senior Junior Lender and will execute in favor of such Subordinate Junior Lender or its designee assignment documentation, in form and substance reasonably acceptable to such Subordinate Junior Lender, at the sole cost and expense of such Subordinate Junior Lender, to assign such Senior Junior Lender’s Senior Junior Loan and its rights under the related Senior Junior Loan Documents (without recourse, representations or warranties, except for representations as to the outstanding balance of such Senior Junior Loan, the power and authority of the Senior Junior Lender to transfer the Senior Junior Loan and as to such Senior Junior Lender’s ownership and not having previously assigned, transferred, participated or encumbered its rights in such Senior Junior Loan unless such participation or encumbrance will be released prior to the transfer). Following the occurrence of a Purchase Option Event, each Junior Lender shall keep the other Junior Lenders informed as to such Junior Lender’s intention to exercise any of its respective rights in connection with the Purchase Option Event.
(b) The right of each Junior Lender to purchase the Senior Loan shall automatically terminate upon (A) (i) a transfer of the Premises by foreclosure sale, sale by power of sale or delivery of a deed in lieu of foreclosure to the extent such transfer occurs after the expiration of the period during which a Junior Lender has the right to purchase the Senior Loan, or (ii) with respect to a specific Purchase Option Event, if such Purchase Option Event ever ceases to exist, or (B) a sale of the Senior Loan after the occurrence and during the continuance of a Event of Default for a premium above the Senior Loan Purchase Price, provided such sale complies with the provisions of this Agreement (including, without limitation, Section 5(e) hereof); provided, however, Senior Lender agrees to give the Junior Lenders ten (10) days prior written notice if it expects to receive such a premium in connection with a sale of the Senior Loan. Notwithstanding the foregoing sentence, (1) in no event shall the Junior Lenders have less than ten (10) Business Days to deliver a Purchase Notice following notice by Senior Lender to Junior Lenders of the occurrence of a Purchase Option Event, except pursuant to the terms of the foregoing clause (A)(ii), and (2) if title is transferred to Senior Lender less than ten (10) days after the acceleration of the Senior Loan, the Junior Lenders shall have such ten (10) day period
58
to deliver the Senior Loan Purchase Notice to Senior Lender with the obligation to purchase the Premises within such ten (10) day period at the Senior Loan Purchase Price, in which case all costs and expenses (including all transfer taxes) in connection therewith shall be paid by the applicable Junior Lender.
(c) If a Junior Loan has been accelerated, any Equity Collateral Enforcement Action has been commenced under the Junior Loan Documents for a Junior Loan, a Proceeding has been commenced against a Junior Borrower under such Junior Loan or a Subordinate Junior Lender has cured one or more defaults on the part of any Junior Borrower under the Senior Junior Loan Documents pursuant to Section 12 hereof and, but for such cure, the Senior Junior Loan would be considered a “specially serviced mortgage loan” under the applicable pooling and servicing agreement if it were the Senior Loan (a “Junior Loan Purchase Option Event”), the Junior Lender holding such Junior Loan (such Junior Loan, the “Optioned Junior Loan” and such Junior Lender, the “Optioned Junior Lender”) shall provide prompt written notice of the same to the applicable Subordinate Junior Lenders, and upon ten (10) Business Days’ prior written notice (the “Junior Purchase Notice”) to the Senior Junior Lender holding the Optioned Junior Loan that is subject to the applicable Junior Loan Purchase Option Event, the applicable Subordinate Junior Lenders (and, if permitted by the applicable participation agreement, Optioned Junior Lenders’ participant) shall have the right to purchase, in whole but not in part, the applicable Optioned Junior Loan for the Senior Junior Loan Purchase Price. In the event that more than one Subordinate Junior Lender elects to purchase an Optioned Junior Loan pursuant to this Section 14(c), the Subordinate Junior Lender with the lowest priority with respect to the other Subordinate Junior Lenders that have elected to purchase such Optioned Junior Loan shall have the exclusive right to so purchase such Optioned Junior Loan, provided that such Subordinate Junior Lender shall also be required to concurrently purchase each of the other Subordinate Junior Loans that constitute, as to such purchasing Subordinate Junior Lender, Senior Junior Loans from the Junior Lenders holding such other Subordinate Junior Loans that so constitute Senior Junior Loans (such other Subordinate Junior Loans, the “Additional Covered Junior Loans”) in each case for a price equal to the applicable Senior Junior Loan Purchase Price. If any Subordinate Junior Lender which has elected to purchase the Optioned Junior Loan that is subject to the applicable Junior Loan Purchase Option Event fails to complete such purchase within thirty (30) days of delivery of a Junior Purchase Notice or fails to concurrently purchase the applicable Additional Covered Junior Loans as required hereunder, then such Junior Purchase Notice shall be deemed invalid, such defaulting Subordinate Junior Lender shall cease to have any right to purchase the Optioned Junior Loan in connection with the applicable Junior Loan Purchase Option Event and the other Subordinate Junior Lenders shall thereafter be entitled to exercise their purchase rights under, and in accordance with, this Section 14(c). Concurrently with payment to the applicable Senior Junior Lenders of the applicable Senior Junior Loan Purchase Price for the Optioned Junior Loan or Additional Covered Junior Loan, as the case may be, held by such Senior Junior Lender, each applicable Senior Junior Lender shall deliver or cause to be delivered to the Subordinate Junior Lender exercising the purchase right hereunder all Senior Junior Loan Documents held by or on behalf of such Senior Junior Lender and will execute in favor of such Subordinate Junior Lender or its designee assignment documentation, in form and substance reasonably acceptable to such Subordinate Junior Lender, at the sole cost and expense of such Subordinate Junior Lender, to assign such Senior Junior Lender’s Optioned Junior Loan, or Additional Covered Junior Loan, as the case may be, and its rights under the related Senior Junior Loan Documents (without
59
recourse, representations or warranties, except for representations as to the outstanding balance of such Optioned Junior Loan or Additional Covered Junior Loan, as the case may be, and as to such Senior Junior Lender’s ownership and not having previously assigned, transferred, participated or encumbered its rights in such Optioned Junior Loan or Additional Covered Junior Loan, as the case may be, unless such participation or encumbrance will be released prior to the transfer). The right of any Subordinate Junior Lender to purchase the Optioned Junior Loan shall automatically terminate (x) upon a transfer or sale of the Equity Collateral covered by the Senior Junior Loan Documents that secure the Optioned Junior Loan, pursuant to any Equity Collateral Enforcement Action, provided such sale or transfer complies with the provisions of this Agreement (including, without limitation, Section 5(c) hereof) and only if such sale or transfer occurs after the expiration of the period during which a Subordinate Junior Lender has the right to purchase the Optioned Junior Loan, or (y) with respect to a specific Junior Loan Purchase Option Event, if such Junior Loan Purchase Option Event ceases to exist (including, if the applicable Senior Junior Lender terminated its Equity Collateral Enforcement Action); provided, however, that in no event shall any Subordinate Junior Lender have less than ten (10) Business Days, following notice by the applicable Senior Junior Lender to such Subordinate Junior Lender of the occurrence of a Junior Loan Purchase Option Event, to elect to purchase the Optioned Junior Loan, except if such period for such election to purchase is terminated pursuant to the terms of foregoing clause (y). Notwithstanding the foregoing sentence, if title is transferred to any Subordinate Junior Lender less than ten (10) days after the acceleration of the applicable Senior Junior Loan, the applicable Subordinate Junior Lenders shall have such ten (10) day period to deliver the applicable Senior Junior Loan Purchase Notice to the applicable Senior Junior Lender with the obligation to purchase the applicable Equity Collateral within such ten (10) day period at the applicable Senior Junior Loan Purchase Price, in which case all costs and expenses (including all transfer taxes) in connection therewith shall be paid by the applicable Subordinate Junior Lender.
(d) Each Junior Lender covenants not to enter any agreement with Borrower, any Junior Borrower or any Affiliate thereof to purchase the Senior Loan or any Junior Loan pursuant to this Section or in connection with any refinancing of the Senior Loan or any Junior Loan in any manner designed to avoid or circumvent the provisions of the Senior Loan Documents or any of the Junior Loan Documents which require the payment of any liquidated damage amount, acceleration prepayment premium, a prepayment fee, premiums or yield maintenance charge in connection with a prepayment of the Senior Loan or a Junior Loan.

60
applicable Subordinate Junior Lenders, as the case may be, prior to such Person granting its consent or agreement thereto (for the purposes of this subsection (a), each Junior Lender is to be reasonable to the extent Senior Lender must be reasonable, but nothing contained above is intended to reduce or limit the rights of each Junior Lender under its respective Junior Loan Documents). Nothing herein shall require any Junior Lender to consent to, or waive its rights with respect to, any Transfer of the Premises or any interest therein (including, without limitation, the Separate Collateral). Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event of any inconsistencies between this Section 15(a) and the Loan Coordination Agreement, the terms and provisions of the Loan Coordination Agreement shall control.
(b) Annual Budget. Each of the Junior Lenders shall have the right to approve the annual operating budget of Borrower in accordance with the terms of their respective Junior Loan Documents. To the extent that the approval of any budget by Senior Lender is required under the Senior Loan Agreement, each Junior Lender shall advise Senior Lender of any objections such Junior Lender may have to any proposed budget, along with its suggestions for changes, no later than two (2) Business Days before the date on which Senior Lender is required to approve or disapprove of such budget under the Senior Loan Agreement. To the extent that the approval of Senior Lender is required under the Senior Loan Agreement for any budget, each Junior Lender shall consent to any changes in the budget reasonably requested by Senior Lender. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event of any inconsistencies between this Section 15(b) and the Loan Coordination Agreement, the terms and conditions of the Loan Coordination Agreement shall control.
(c) Reserves and Escrows.

If any of the Junior Loan Documents contain any provision or requirement that a Junior Lender’s consent or approval be obtained for any act or determination by Borrower or its respective Junior Borrower in connection with the leasing of the Premises or alterations to the Premises, to the extent that such consent or approval is also required by Senior Lender under the Senior Loan Documents, each Junior Lender hereby agrees that it shall first advise Senior Lender whether such Junior Lender objects to the requested consent or approval within five (5) days after its receipt of (i) a written request for a consent or approval from the applicable Junior Borrower and (ii) delivery of all required documents and information necessary to adequately and completely evaluate such request. Senior Lender shall consult with each Junior Lender with respect to any such consent or approval right of such Junior Lender. Each Junior Lender having such consent rights shall not unreasonably withhold its consent to such lease or alteration if Senior Lender (A) is deemed to have approved such lease or alteration under the Senior Loan Documents or (B) reasonably approves such lease or alteration provided, with respect to a lease, the lease is on market terms and, with respect to an alteration, the alteration is necessary to maintain the Premises in good order and repair as required by the Senior Loan Documents. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event of any inconsistencies between this Section 15(e) and the Loan Coordination Agreement, the terms and conditions of the Loan Coordination Agreement shall control.
(f) Marshalling of Assets. Each Junior Lender hereby waives any equitable right it may have to require that Senior Lender marshal any assets of Borrower in favor of such Junior Lender, to require the separate sales of any portion of the Premises or to require that Senior Lender exhaust its remedies against any portion of the Premises. Each Junior Lender agrees that, except with respect to the enforcement of its remedies under its applicable Junior Loan Documents permitted hereunder (including the foreclosure and acquisition of its applicable Equity Collateral through an Enforcement Action), prior to the satisfaction of all Senior Loan Liabilities it shall not acquire, by subrogation or otherwise, any lien, estate, right 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.

Senior Lender hereby agrees to use reasonable efforts to promptly (x) notify each Junior Lender of any requests by Borrower for disbursements of funds from the Funds or a release of Net Proceeds and (y) provide each Junior 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 Reserve Funds or release of Net Proceeds (provided that in no event shall failure by Senior Lender to provide such notice or documentation to any Junior Lender constitute a default hereunder).
(h) Notices of Default.
(i) Each Junior Lender shall give Senior Lender and each other Junior Lender notice of any Event of Default, acceleration of its applicable Junior Loan and the commencement of any Equity Collateral Enforcement Action under its Junior Loan
62
Documents and, simultaneously with giving such notices to its Junior Borrower, copies of notices given to its Junior Borrower of events that with the passage of time and failure to cure, would result in the occurrence of a “Default” or “Event of Default” under its respective Junior Loan Documents.
(ii) Senior Lender shall give each Junior Lender written notice of any Event of Default, acceleration of the Senior Loan, transfer of the Senior Loan to “special servicing” and the commencement of an Enforcement Action under the Senior Loan Documents and, simultaneously with giving such notices to Borrower, copies of notices given to Borrower of events that with the passage of time and failure to cure, would result in the occurrence of a “Default” or “Event of Default” under the Senior Loan Documents.

In addition, prior to a Securitization of the Senior Loan, Senior Lender may amend the Senior Loan Documents to extend the period during which voluntary prepayments are prohibited thereunder or impose additional prepayments premiums, provided that, as a condition thereto, the applicable Junior Borrowers shall execute and deliver a modification of its respective Junior Loan Documents to extend the period during which voluntary prepayments are prohibited thereunder for the same additional period of time as the Senior Loan lockout period is extended or provide for additional prepayment premiums comparable to those provided for in the Modification of the Senior Loan.
(j) Cooperation. At the request of Senior Lender, each Junior Lender shall use reasonable efforts, at Senior Lender’s expense, to satisfy, and to cooperate with Senior Lender in attempting to cause Borrower and its respective Junior Borrower to satisfy, the market standards to which Senior Lender customarily adheres or which may be reasonably required in the marketplace or by the Rating Agencies in connection with the Securitization of the Senior Loan, including, entering into (or consenting to, as applicable) any modifications to this Agreement or the Senior Loan Documents or the Junior Loan Documents, and to cooperate with Senior Lender in attempting to cause Borrower and the Junior Borrowers to execute such modifications to the Senior Loan Documents and the applicable Junior Loan Documents, in any such case, as may be reasonably requested by the Rating Agencies to affect the Securitization; provided, however, a Junior Lender shall not be required to modify or amend this Agreement or
63
any Senior Loan Documents or its respective Junior Loan Documents (or consent to such modification of the Senior Loan Documents), if such modification or amendment would (1) materially increase its respective Junior Borrower’s obligations under its Junior Loan Documents or materially decrease such Junior Lender’s rights, remedies or protections thereunder, (2) change the economic terms allocable to the Junior Loans (including, without limitation, the basis upon which any reserve requirement is triggered or suspended) under the Senior Loan Documents and Junior Loan Document) or (3) otherwise, in any Junior Lender’s judgment, have any material adverse impact on such Junior Lender or its Junior Loan. In connection with any Securitization, each Junior Lender agrees to provide for inclusion in any disclosure document relating to the related Securitization such information concerning such Junior Lender as the Senior Lender reasonably determines to be necessary or appropriate. Subject to the foregoing qualifications in clauses (1) – (3) in the foregoing sentence, each Junior Lender agrees that if the Senior Loan is to be included as an asset of the Securitization, such Junior Lender shall at Senior Lender’s request and expense, cooperate with the reasonable requests of each Rating Agency and Senior Lender in connection with the Securitization.

Section 16. Financing of the Junior Loans. (a) Notwithstanding any other provision hereof but subject to the provisions of Section 16(b) hereof, Senior Lender and each Junior Lender hereby consents to each Junior Lender’s pledge (a “Pledge”) of its respective Junior Loan and of the Separate Collateral to any entity which has extended a credit facility to such Junior 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 16, it is also agreed that the sale by a Junior Lender of its respective Junior Loan to a Qualified Transferee and the simultaneous agreement by the such Junior Lender to repurchase its Junior Loan under an arrangement documented as a repurchase agreement (the “Repo Agreement”) shall qualify as a Pledge, provided all applicable terms and conditions of this subsection (a) are complied with; further provided that a Loan Pledgee which is not a Qualified Transferee may not take title to the Separate Collateral without a Rating Agency Confirmation. Upon written notice by a Junior Lender to Senior Lender and the other Junior Lenders that the Pledge has been effected, Senior Lender and each Junior Lender agrees to acknowledge receipt of such notice and thereafter agrees: (i) to give Loan Pledgee written notice of any default by the applicable Junior Lender under this Agreement of which default Senior Lender or such Junior Lender has actual knowledge; (ii) to allow Loan Pledgee a period of ten (10) days (in respect of a monetary default) and thirty (30) days (in respect of a non-monetary default) by the applicable Junior Lender in respect of its obligations to Senior Lender or such Junior Lender hereunder, but Loan Pledgee shall not be obligated to cure any such default; (iii) that no amendment or modification
66
of this Agreement which adversely affects the rights or obligations of the Junior Lender which has made a Pledge to such Loan Pledgee, and no waiver or termination of any applicable Junior Lender’s rights under this Agreement, shall be effective against Loan Pledgee without the written consent of Loan Pledgee, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld; provided, however, the consent of the Loan Pledgee shall not be required unless the applicable Junior Lender’s consent was required pursuant to the terms of this Agreement to effect such modification, waiver or termination; (iv) that Senior Lender shall give to Loan Pledgee copies of any Senior Loan Default Notice and each Junior Lender shall give to Loan Pledgee copies of any Junior Loan Default Notice issued by such Junior Lender simultaneously with the giving of same to the applicable Junior Lender and accept any cure thereof by Loan Pledgee made in accordance with the provisions of Section 12 of this Agreement as if such cure were made by the applicable Junior Lender; (v) that Senior Lender and each Junior Lender shall deliver to Loan Pledgee such estoppel certificate(s) as Loan Pledgee shall reasonably request, provided that any such estoppel certificate(s) shall be in the form contemplated by Section 19 hereof or in such other form reasonably acceptable to Senior Lender and such Junior Lender; and (vi) that, upon written notice (a “Redirection Notice”) to Senior Lender or a Junior Lender by Loan Pledgee that either (x) states that the pledging Junior Lender is in default, beyond applicable cure periods, under such Junior Lender’s obligations to Loan Pledgee pursuant to the applicable credit agreement (or Repo Agreement) between such Junior Lender and Loan Pledgee (which notice need not be joined in or confirmed by such Junior Lender), or (y) is joined in or confirmed by such pledging Junior Lender countersigning the Redirection Notice, and until such Redirection Notice is withdrawn or rescinded by Loan Pledgee, Senior Lender and each Junior Lender shall remit to the applicable Loan Pledgee and not to the applicable Junior Lender, any payments that Senior Lender or a Junior Lender would otherwise be obligated to pay to such Junior Lender from time to time pursuant to this Agreement, any Senior Loan Document, any Junior Loan Document or any other agreement between Senior Lender or any Junior Lender that relates to the Senior Loan or a Junior Loan. Each Junior Lender hereby unconditionally and absolutely releases Senior Lender and the other Junior Lenders from any liability to such Junior Lender on account of Senior Lender’s or a Junior Lender’s compliance with any Redirection Notice believed by Senior Lender or a Junior Lender to have been delivered by such Junior Lender’s Loan Pledgee. Loan Pledgee shall be permitted to fully exercise its rights and remedies against the applicable Junior Lender, and realize on any and all collateral granted by the applicable Junior 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 and each of the other Junior Lenders 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 the applicable Junior Lender’s rights, remedies and obligations under this Agreement and the Junior Loan Documents and any such Loan Pledgee or Qualified Transferee shall assume in writing (for the benefit of Senior Lender and the other Junior Lenders and their respective successors and assigns) the obligations of the applicable Junior 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 so assume applicable Junior Lender’s obligations hereunder prior to such realization on such collateral. The rights of Loan Pledgee under this Section 16 shall remain effective unless and until Loan Pledgee shall have notified the Senior Lender and Junior Lenders in writing that its interest in the applicable Junior Loan has terminated.
67
(a) Notwithstanding any provisions herein to the contrary, if a conduit (“Conduit”) which is not a Qualified Transferee provides financing to Junior 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 the Junior Lender to finance the acquisition and holding of its interest in the Junior Lender’s Junior 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) the pledging Junior Lender will pledge its interest in the Junior Loan to the Conduit as collateral for the Conduit Inventory Loan;
(iv) the Conduit Credit Enhancer and the Conduit will agree that, if Junior 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 Junior Lender, the Conduit Credit Enhancer will purchase the Conduit Inventory Loan from the Conduit, and the Conduit will assign the pledge of Junior Lender’s interest in the Junior 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 Junior Loan pledged by the Junior 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.
Section 17. Obligations Hereunder Not Affected.
(a) All rights, interests, agreements and obligations of Senior Lender and each Junior Lender under this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect irrespective of:
(i) any lack of validity or enforceability of any of the Senior Loan Documents or any of the Junior Loan Documents or any other agreement or instrument relating thereto;

68
(iv) any change, restructuring or termination of the ownership structure or existence of Borrower, Junior Borrowers or any other Affiliates of Borrower; or
(v) any other circumstance which might otherwise constitute a defense available to, or a discharge of, Borrower, any Junior Borrower or a subordinated creditor or Senior Lender or any Junior Lender subject to the terms hereof.

In the event the Senior Loan is repaid in full, (x) the Senior Junior Lender with the highest priority shall have the right to exercise all of the rights granted to Senior Lender pursuant to this Agreement and shall, from and after the repayment in full, be deemed to be the “Senior Lender” and to be the holder of the “Senior Loan” for all purposes without requiring the amendment of this Agreement, (y) references hereafter to the Senior Loan Agreement shall be deemed to be references to the First Mezzanine Loan Agreement and (z) references to “transfer of the Premises by foreclosure sale, sale by power of sale or delivery of a deed in lieu of foreclosure” (or words of similar import) shall be deemed to be references to transfer of the First
73
Mezzanine Lender’s Equity Collateral pursuant to any Equity Collateral Enforcement Action.

(b) To the extent not paid by a Junior Borrower out of or from any collateral securing the related Junior Loan which is realized by the applicable Junior Lender, Senior Lender agrees upon demand to pay to such Junior Lender the amount of any and all reasonable expenses, including, without limitation, the reasonable fees and expenses of its counsel and of any experts or agents, which such Junior Lender may incur in connection with the (i) exercise or enforcement of any of the rights of such Junior Lender against Senior Lender hereunder to the extent that such Junior Lender is the prevailing party in any dispute with respect thereto or (ii) failure by Senior Lender to perform or observe any of the provisions hereof.

74
Section 34. Injunction. Each party to this Agreement acknowledges (and waives any defense based on a claim) that monetary damages are not an adequate remedy to redress a breach by the other hereunder and that a breach by any party hereunder would cause irreparable harm to any other party to this Agreement. Accordingly, each party to this Agreement agrees that upon a breach of this Agreement by any other party, the remedies of injunction, declaratory judgment and specific performance shall be available to such non-breaching party.
Section 35. Mutual Disclaimer.
(a) Senior Lender and the Junior Lenders are each sophisticated lenders and/or investors in real estate and their respective decision to enter into the Senior Loan and the Junior Loans is based upon their own independent expert evaluation of the terms, covenants, conditions and provisions of, respectively, the Senior Loan Documents and the Junior Loan Documents and such other matters, materials and market conditions and criteria which each of Senior Lender and the Junior Lenders deem relevant. Each of Senior Lender and each of the Junior Lenders has not relied in entering into this Agreement, and respectively, the Senior Loan, the Senior Loan Documents, the Junior Loans and the Junior Loan Documents upon any oral or written information, representation, warranty or covenant from any other party hereto (or any oral or written information, representation, warranty or covenant from any other party’s representatives, employees, Affiliates or agents) other than the representations and warranties, if any, of such other party contained herein and therein. Each of Senior Lender and each of the Junior Lenders further acknowledges that no employee, agent or representative of the other has been authorized to make, and that each of Senior Lender and the Junior Lenders have not relied upon, any statements, representations, warranties or covenants other than those specifically contained in this Agreement. Without limiting the foregoing, each of Senior Lender and each of the Junior Lenders acknowledges that the other has made no representations or warranties as to the Senior Loan or the Junior Loans or the Premises (including, without limitation, the cash flow of the Premises, the value, marketability, condition or future performance thereof, the existence, status, adequacy or sufficiency of the leases, the tenancies or occupancies of the Premises, or the sufficiency of the cash flow of the Premises, to pay all amounts which may become due from time to time pursuant to the Senior Loan or the Junior Loans).
(b) Each of Senior Lender and each of the Junior Lenders acknowledges that the Senior Loan, the Senior Loan Documents, each of the Junior Loans, and each of the Junior Loan Documents are distinct, separate transactions and loans, separate and apart from each other. Each of Senior Lender and each of the Junior Lenders acknowledges that the other are distinct separate lenders with distinct and separate loans with various rights and remedies with respect to the Premises which are not in all respects aligned.
Section 36. Indemnification. Each Junior Lender shall, as to notices delivered by it, indemnify Senior Lender from and against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties and expenses of any kind or nature whatever that may be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against Senior Lender in any manner relating to or arising out of Senior Lender’s good faith reliance on any notice of default delivered by such Junior Lender to Senior Lender pursuant to which any excess cash flow that would otherwise be remitted to Borrower pursuant to the Senior Loan Documents is instead transferred to such Junior Lender pursuant to the its respective Junior Loan Documents.
75
Section 37. Future Funding.
(a) Funding Specified Advances. All future fundings to be made under the Future Funding Obligations shall be the sole responsibility of Senior Lender and Junior Lenders (as applicable) or their respective permitted transferees, subject to this Section 37. The transfer of Future Funding Obligations may only be made in accordance with the provisions of Section 5(f) hereof.
(b) Advance Conditions Met.
(i) In the event that all conditions under the respective Section 2.8 of the First Mezzanine Loan Agreement, or the Second Mezzanine Loan Agreement (as the case may be) or Section 2.9 of the Building Loan Agreement (the “Future Funding Loan Agreement”) for an Advance (as defined in same) have been met by Borrower, First Mezzanine Borrower, or Second Mezzanine Borrower (as applicable) (the “Future Funding Borrower”) then the Future Funding Lender shall be required to fund such Advance in accordance with the terms of the Future Funding Loan Agreement and shall not require the consent of the Senior Lender or Junior Lenders (as applicable) to lend such future advance.
(ii) In the case of any failure to fund a future Funding Obligation by any Junior Lender (a “Defaulting Lender”), Senior Lender or Senior Junior Lender (the “Advancing Lender”) shall have the option, in its sole discretion, to fund all or any portion of the amount of such Future Funding Obligation that the Defaulting Lender failed to fund (such amount, as funded by the Advancing Lender, the “Default Advance Amount”) and the parties hereto agree that such Default Advance Amount shall be added to the outstanding principal balance of the applicable Junior Loan as if the Defaulting Lender has advanced such amount in accordance with the applicable Junior Loan Documents, provided, however, that all interest earned on the Default Advance Amount at the Applicable Interest Rate under the applicable Junior Loan shall be remitted to the Advancing Lender by Administrative Agent prior to any interest payments being paid to the Defaulting Lender on the balance of the outstanding principal amount of the applicable Junior Loan. Furthermore, the parties hereto agree that if upon any repayment of the outstanding principal amount of the applicable Junior Loan any Default Advance Amounts have been advanced by the Advancing Lender, then such repayments shall be applied as follows: (A) first to the Advancing Lender, until the balance of any and all Default Advance Amounts has been reduced to zero, any applicable exit fees, default interest, late fees and other accrued amounts allocable to the Default Advance Amounts and the applicable IRR Lookback Payments that would otherwise be due and payable on that portion of the Second Mezzanine Loan represented by the Default Advance Amount, if applicable, have been paid to the Advancing Lender in full, and (B) then any remaining amount shall be applied to the balance of the applicable Junior Loan.
76
(c) Mortgage Shortfalls.
(i) The Junior Lenders hereby agree and Senior Lender acknowledges that notwithstanding the terms of the Junior Loan Documents to the contrary, if Subordinate Junior Lender shall be obligated to advance its pro rata share of any Mortgage Shortfalls, Senior Junior Lender shall fund Subordinate Junior Lender’s pro rata share of such Mortgage Shortfall in addition to advancing its own pro rata share as required under the Senior Junior Loan Documents and Subordinate Junior Lender shall have no obligation to advance any portion of any Mortgage Shortfalls. In such event, the amount of the Mortgage Shortfall shall be added to the outstanding principal balance of the First Mezzanine Loan and shall accrue interest at the Applicable Interest Rate under the First Mezzanine Loan Documents.
(ii) The First Mezzanine Lender shall not be obligated to fund any portion of any line item in the Project Cost Budget to pay debt service on the Second Mezzanine Loan, and the Second Mezzanine Lender shall not be obligated to fund any line item in the Project Cost Budget to pay debt service on the First Mezzanine Loan. Neither of the Junior Lenders shall be obligated to fund any line item in the Project Cost Budget to pay debt service on the Senior Loan, but the First Mezzanine Lender shall have the right, in its sole and absolute discretion, to fund any line item in the Project Cost Budget to be applied to debt service on the Senior Loan and the Second Mezzanine Lender shall have the right, in its sole and absolute discretion, to fund any line item in the Project Cost Budget to be applied to debt service on the First Mezzanine Loan and/or the Senior Loan.
(d) Advance Conditions Not Met. In the event that the Future Funding Borrower shall have failed to satisfy a condition for an Advance, the related Future Funding Lender may determine to waive such condition.
(e) Cost Overruns and Increases in Scope of Project. A Future Funding Lender shall have the right to fund any Advance in excess of amounts provided for under the Building Loan Documents, First Mezzanine Loan Documents, or Second Mezzanine Loan Documents (as applicable) (the “Future Funding Loan Documents”) that constitute Protective Advances.
(f) Indemnifications. Each of the Future Funding Lenders agrees that none of Senior Lender, Senior Junior Lender, or Subordinate Junior Lender (as applicable) is liable for making any future advance under such Future Funding Lender’s Future Funding Obligations or for paying any fees, costs, expenses or disbursements incurred by such Future Funding Lender in connection with such Future Funding Lender’s Future Funding Obligations (including any fees, costs, expenses and disbursements attributable to pre-funding activities, whether or not any Advance is actually made by such Future Funding Lender). If the trust (the “Trust”) under a Securitization is named as a party to any litigation by a Future Funding Borrower with respect to the Future Funding Obligations of a Future Funding Lender and it has been finally judicially determined in such litigation that such Future Funding Lender has breached its Future Funding Obligations, such Future Funding Lender shall indemnify the Trust against any and all losses, claims, damages, costs, expenses and liabilities incurred by the Trust in connection with such litigation, provided that in no event shall such Future Funding Lender be liable for (i) any such
77
losses, claims, damages, costs, expenses and liabilities which arise out of or result from any failure by such Future Funding Borrower to make payments under the applicable Future Funding Loan or to otherwise perform its obligations under the applicable Future Funding Loan or (ii) for any indirect, special, incidental, consequential or punitive damages. The Trust shall be a third party beneficiary of this Agreement with respect to the indemnification obligations of the Future Funding Lenders set forth in this Section 37(f). The Trust’s rights pursuant to this Section are in addition to any other rights it may have at law or in equity. The Future Funding Obligations are independent and separate obligations of the applicable Future Funding Lender or their respective successors or assigns. The defaulting Future Funding Lender shall also indemnify the Senior Lender and/or Junior Lenders that are not in default, as if such non-defaulting Senior Lender and/or Junior Lenders were the Trust as set forth above in this Section 37(f).
Section 38. Cooperation. Senior Lender and each Junior Lender hereby agree to reasonably cooperate with each other in connection with (a) the sale and transfer to one or more Purchasers (the “Purchasers”) of the Senior Loan and each Junior Loan and (b) the Securitization of the Senior Loan, which cooperation may include such reasonable amendments or modifications to the Intercreditor Agreement as may be reasonably requested by Senior Lender, any Junior Lender, the Purchasers and/or the Rating Agencies. All costs and expenses, including without limitation, legal fees, incurred by any party hereto in connection with any amendments or modifications contemplated pursuant to this Section 38 shall be paid by each such party.
