Regardless of any provision contained in this Agreement or in any other Loan Document, Lender shall never be deemed to have contracted for or be entitled to receive, collect or apply as interest on the Loan, pursuant to this Agreement or any other Loan Document, or otherwise, any amount in excess of the maximum rate of interest permitted to be charged by applicable law, and, in the event that Lender ever receives, collects or applies as interest any such excess, such amount which would be excessive interest shall be applied to the reduction of the unpaid principal balance of the Loan, and, if the principal balance
-62-
of the Loan is paid in full, any remaining excess shall forthwith be paid to Borrower. In determining whether or not the interest paid or payable under any specific contingency exceeds the highest lawful rate, Borrower and Lender shall, to the maximum extent permitted under applicable law, (a) characterize any non-principal payment as an expense, fee, or premium, rather than as interest, (b) exclude voluntary prepayments and the effect thereof, and (c) spread the total amount of interest throughout the entire contemplated term of the Loan so that the interest rate is uniform throughout such term; provided, that if the Loan is paid and performed in full prior to the end of the full contemplated term thereof, and if the interest received for the actual term thereof exceeds the maximum lawful rate, Lender shall refund to Borrower the amount of such excess, or credit the amount of such excess against the aggregate unpaid principal balance of the Loan at the time in question. At all times when the Texas Credit Code shall govern the maximum rate of interest that may be charged, the same shall be the “weekly ceiling” for all such times.
Section 2.3 Loan Payments.
(a) Payments. Borrower agrees to pay sums under the Note in installments as follows:
(i) Intentionally Omitted.
(ii) a payment on each Payment Date of all interest that has or will accrue on the principal amount of the Note during the Interest Period immediately preceding the applicable Payment Date (or, if such Payment Date is not the ninth (9th) day of the calendar month because such day is not a Business Day, the Interest Period in which such Payment Date occurs); and
(iii) the outstanding principal amount and all interest thereon (including interest through the end of the Interest Period in which the Maturity Date occurs) shall be due and payable on the Maturity Date together with any other amounts, if any, remaining due and payable hereunder or under the other Loan Documents.
(b) Extension of Maturity Date. Borrower shall have the option to extend the term of the Loan beyond the Stated Maturity Date for two (2) successive terms (each, an “Extension Option”) of one (1) year each to (y) the Payment Date occurring in March 2015 (the “First Extended Maturity Date”, and (z) the Payment Date occurring in March 2016 (the “Second Extended Maturity Date”; each of the First Extended Maturity Date and the Second Extended Maturity Date, the “Extended Maturity Date”), respectively, provided, as a condition precedent to the effectiveness of each Extension Option, at least thirty (30) days prior to the commencement of the then applicable Maturity Date, Borrower shall notify Lender in writing of its election to extend the Maturity Date and deliver to Lender one or more Replacement Rate Caps, which Replacement Rate Caps shall be effective commencing on the first day of such Extension Option and shall have a maturity date not earlier than the end of the Interest Period in which the Maturity Date, as extended pursuant to the terms of this Section 2.3, falls. All references in this Agreement and in the other Loan Documents to the Maturity Date shall mean the applicable Extended Maturity Date in the event the applicable Extension Option is exercised. Any extension of the Maturity Date shall not operate as, or be deemed a waiver of, any Default or Event of Default under the Loan Documents or prejudice or otherwise affect any rights or remedies of Lender under the Loan Documents.
-63-
(c) Payments after Default. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, (i) interest on the outstanding principal balance of the Loan and, to the extent permitted by applicable law, overdue interest and other amounts due in respect of the Loan shall accrue at the Default Rate, and (ii) Lender shall be entitled to receive and Borrower shall deliver and pay to Lender all revenue from the Property that Borrower is entitled to receive pursuant to the terms of Article X of this Agreement and Section 9.10 and Article X of the Xxxxx Fargo Mortgage Loan Agreement, such amount to be applied by Lender to the payment of the Debt in such order as Lender shall determine in its sole discretion, including alternating applications thereof between interest and principal. Interest at the Default Rate shall be computed from the occurrence of the Event of Default until the earlier of (x) the actual receipt and collection of the Debt (or that portion thereof that is then due) and (y) the cure of such Event of Default. To the extent permitted by applicable law, interest at the Default Rate shall be added to the Debt, shall itself accrue interest at the same rate as the Loan and shall be secured by the Pledge Agreement. This paragraph shall not be construed as an agreement or privilege to extend the date of the payment of the Debt, nor as a waiver of any other right or remedy accruing to Lender by reason of the occurrence of any Event of Default, nor as a waiver of the obligation of Borrower to pay the Debt as and when due hereunder; the acceptance of any payment from Borrower shall not be deemed to cure or constitute a waiver of any Event of Default; and Lender retains its rights under this Agreement to accelerate and to continue to demand payment of the Debt upon the happening of and during the continuance of any Event of Default, despite any payment by Borrower to Lender.
(d) Late Payment Charge. If any principal (other than the full principal amount payable on the Maturity Date) or interest payment is not paid by Borrower on or before the date on which it is due, Borrower shall pay to Lender upon demand an amount equal to the lesser of five percent (5%) of such unpaid sum or the maximum amount permitted by applicable law in order to defray the expense incurred by Lender in handling and processing such delinquent payment and to compensate Lender for the loss of the use of such delinquent payment. Any such amount shall be secured by the Pledge Agreement and the other Loan Documents to the extent permitted by applicable law.
(e) Method and Place of Payment. Each payment by Borrower hereunder or under the Note shall be payable at such place as Lender may designate from time to time in writing, on the date such payment is due, to Lender by deposit to such account as Lender may designate by written notice to Borrower. Each payment by Borrower hereunder or under the Note shall be made in funds settled through the New York Clearing House Interbank Payments System or other funds immediately available to Lender by 1:00 p.m., New York City time, on the date such payment is due, to Lender by deposit to such account as Lender may designate by written notice to Borrower. Whenever any payment hereunder or under the Note shall be stated to be due on a day which is not a Business Day, such payment shall be made on the first Business Day preceding such scheduled due date. Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything else in this Agreement or the other Loan Documents to the contrary, provided no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, Borrower’s obligations with respect to the monthly payment of Debt Service and amounts required to be deposited into the Reserve Accounts
-64-
pursuant to the terms of this Agreement shall be deemed satisfied, and no default interest or late charge shall be assessed under clauses (c) and (d) above, to the extent sufficient amounts are deposited in the Mezzanine Cash Management Account to satisfy such obligations on the dates each such payment is required, regardless of whether any of such amounts are so applied by Lender, so long as Lender’s access to such money has not been constrained or constricted in any manner, including by any action by Borrower to contest the release of funds from the Mezzanine Cash Management Account for the payment of Debt Service or otherwise.
(f) Additional Payment Provisions.
(i) If at any time after the date hereof, Lender (which shall include, for purposes of this Section 2.3, any corporation controlling Lender) reasonably determines that due to the adoption or modification of any Legal Requirement regarding taxation, Lender’s required levels of reserves, deposits, Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation insurance or capital (including any allocation of capital requirements or conditions), or similar requirements, or any interpretation or administration thereof by any Tribunal or compliance of Lender with any of such requirements, has or would have the effect of (a) increasing Lender’s costs relating to the Loan, or (b) reducing the yield or rate of return of Lender on the Loan, to a level below that which Lender could have achieved but for the adoption or modification of any such requirements, Borrower shall, within fifteen (15) days of any request by Lender, pay to Lender such additional amounts as (in Lender’s sole judgment, after good faith and reasonable computation) will compensate Lender for such increase in costs or reduction in yield or rate of return of Lender (a “Consequential Loss”). No failure by Lender to immediately demand payment of any additional amounts payable hereunder shall constitute a waiver of Lender’s right to demand payment of such amounts at any subsequent time. Nothing herein contained shall be construed or so operate as to require Borrower to pay any interest, fees, costs or charges greater than is permitted by applicable Law.
(ii) All payments made by Borrower hereunder shall be made free and clear of, and without reduction for or on account of, income, stamp or other taxes, levies, imposts, duties, charges, fees, deductions, reserves or withholdings imposed, levied, collected, withheld or assessed by any Governmental Authorities, which are imposed, enacted or become effective on or after the date hereof (such non-excluded taxes being referred to collectively as “Foreign Taxes”), excluding (a) taxes imposed on or measured by a Person’s overall net income (however denominated), and franchise taxes imposed on it (in lieu of net income taxes), by the jurisdiction (or any political subdivision thereof) under the laws of which such recipient is organized or in which its principal office is located or, in the case of any Lender, in which its applicable lending office is located; (b) any branch profits taxes imposed by the United States or any similar tax imposed by any other jurisdiction in which Borrower is located; (c) in the case of a Foreign Lender, any withholding tax that is imposed on amounts payable to such Foreign Lender at the time such Foreign Lender becomes a party hereto (or designates a new lending office) or is attributable to such Foreign Lender’s failure or inability (other than as a result of a change in law) to comply with Section 2.3(f)(iii) hereof, except to the extent at the time such Foreign Lender was assigned its interest in the obligations hereunder, such Foreign Lender’s assignor was entitled to receive additional amounts from Borrower with respect
-65-
to such withholding tax pursuant to Section 2.3(f)(iii) hereof; and (d) any interest, penalties, or additions to taxes described in clauses (a) through (c). If any Foreign Taxes are required to be withheld from any amounts payable to Lender hereunder and such Foreign Taxes are not a result of activities of Lender unrelated to the Loan or Borrower, the amounts so payable to Lender shall be increased to the extent necessary to yield to Lender (after payment of all Foreign Taxes) interest or any such other amounts payable hereunder at the rate or in the amounts specified hereunder. Whenever any Foreign Tax is payable pursuant to applicable law by Borrower, as promptly as possible thereafter, Borrower shall send to Lender an original official receipt, if available, or certified copy thereof showing payment of such Foreign Tax. Borrower hereby indemnifies Lender for any incremental taxes, interest or penalties that may become payable by Lender which may result from any failure by Borrower to pay any such Foreign Tax when due to the appropriate taxing authority of which Lender has provided Borrower with prior written notice, if possible, or any failure by Borrower to remit to Lender the required receipts or other required documentary evidence, and any Foreign Taxes which Lender is required to pay directly to any taxing authority. Lender’s inability to notify Borrower of any such Foreign Tax in accordance with the immediately preceding sentence shall in no way relieve Borrower of its obligations under this Section 2.3(f)(ii).
(iii) If Lender is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of any Foreign Taxes with respect to payments under this Agreement, Lender shall deliver to Borrower, at the time or times as reasonably requested by Borrower in writing, such properly completed and executed documentation prescribed by applicable law as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate. Lender shall not be entitled to claim compensation pursuant to this Section 2.3(f) for any Foreign Taxes to the extent that such Foreign Taxes result from a failure to comply with the requirements of this paragraph. In the event that Borrower is resident for tax purposes in the United States, any Foreign Lender shall, if legally entitled to do so, deliver to Borrower on or prior to the date on which such Foreign Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the request of Borrower, but only if such Foreign Lender is legally entitled to do so), whichever of the following is applicable:
(A) duly completed copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN claiming eligibility for benefits of an income tax treaty to which the United States is a party;
(B) duly completed copies of Internal Revenue Service From W-8ECI;
(C) in the case of a Foreign Lender claiming the benefits of the exemption for portfolio interest under Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Internal Revenue Code: (i) a certificate to the effect that such Foreign Lender is not: (1) a “bank” within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Internal Revenue Code; (2) a “10 percent shareholder” of Borrower within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(B) of the Internal Revenue Code; or (3) a “controlled foreign corporation” described in Section 881(c)(3)(C) of the Internal Revenue Code; and (ii) duly completed copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN; or
-66-
(D) any other form prescribed by applicable law as a basis for claiming exemption from or a reduction in United States federal withholding tax duly completed together with such supplementary documentation as may be prescribed by applicable law to permit Borrower to determine the withholding or deduction required to be made.
(iv) If Lender receives a refund of a Foreign Tax for which a payment has been made by Borrower pursuant to this Agreement, which refund in the good faith judgment of Lender is attributable to such payment made by Borrower, then Lender shall reimburse Borrower for such amount (together with any interest received thereon) as Lender determines to be the proportion of the refund as will leave it, after such reimbursement, in no better or worse position than it would have been in if the payment had not been required. To the extent the use of a certain lending office by Lender has resulted in any Foreign Taxes, increased cost or reduction in amounts received or receivable hereunder, Lender shall make reasonable efforts, but not be obligated, to designate another lending office with the object of avoiding the consequence of the event giving rise to such circumstances.
(v) If any requirement of law or any change therein or in the interpretation or application thereof, shall hereafter make it unlawful for Lender to make or maintain a Loan with the Note Rate being based on LIBOR as contemplated hereunder, (i) the obligation of Lender hereunder to make or continue the Loan based on LIBOR or to convert the Loan from the Static LIBOR Rate to the LIBOR Rate shall be canceled forthwith and (ii) any outstanding LIBOR Loan shall be converted automatically to a loan bearing interest at the Static LIBOR Rate (the “Static LIBOR Rate Loan”) on the next succeeding Payment Date or within such earlier period as required by law. Borrower hereby agrees promptly to pay Lender, upon demand, any additional amounts necessary to compensate Lender for any costs incurred by Lender in making any conversion in accordance with this Agreement, including any interest or fees payable by Lender to lenders of funds obtained by it in order to make or maintain the LIBOR Loan hereunder. If Lender becomes entitled to claim any additional amounts pursuant to this Section 2.3(f)(v), Lender shall provide Borrower with not less than ninety (90) days written notice specifying in reasonable detail the event by reason of which it has become so entitled and the additional amount required to fully compensate Lender for such additional costs. Lender’s notice of such costs, as certified to Borrower, shall be conclusive absent manifest error.
(vi) In the event that any change in any requirement of law or in the interpretation or application thereof, or compliance by Lender with any request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) hereafter issued from any central bank or other Governmental Authority:
(A) shall hereafter impose, modify or hold applicable any reserve, special deposit, compulsory loan or similar requirement against assets held by, or deposits or other liabilities in or for the account of, advances or loans by, or other credit extended by, or any other acquisition of funds by, any office of Lender which is not otherwise included in the determination of the LIBOR Rate hereunder,
-67-
(B) shall hereafter have the effect of reducing the rate of return on Lender’s capital as a consequence of its obligations hereunder to a level below that which Lender could have achieved but for such adoption, change or compliance (taking into consideration Lender’s policies with respect to capital adequacy) by any amount deemed by Lender to be material; or
(C) shall hereafter impose on Lender any other condition and the result of any of the foregoing is to increase the cost to Lender of making, renewing or maintaining loans or extensions of credit or to reduce any amount receivable hereunder;
then, in any such case, Borrower shall promptly pay Lender, upon demand, any additional amounts necessary to compensate Lender for such additional cost or reduced amount receivable which Lender deems to be material as determined by Lender. If Lender becomes entitled to claim any additional amounts pursuant to this Section 2.3(f)(vi), Lender shall provide Borrower with not less than ninety (90) days written notice specifying in reasonable detail the event by reason of which it has become so entitled and the additional amount required to fully compensate Lender for such additional cost or reduced amount. A certificate as to any additional costs or amounts payable pursuant to the foregoing sentence submitted by Lender to Borrower shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error. This provision shall survive payment of the Note and the satisfaction of all other obligations of Borrower under this Agreement and the Loan Documents.
(vii) Borrower agrees to indemnify Lender and to hold Lender harmless from any loss, cost, expense, penalty, claim or liability, including any loss incurred in obtaining, prepaying, liquidating or employing deposits or other funds from third parties and any loss of yield which Lender sustains or incurs (as determined by Lender in its judgment reasonably exercised) as a consequence of (i) any default by Borrower in payment of the principal of or interest on a LIBOR Loan, including any such loss or expense arising from interest or fees payable by Lender to lenders of funds obtained by it in order to maintain a LIBOR Loan hereunder, (ii) any prepayment (whether voluntary or mandatory) of the LIBOR Loan that did not include all interest which had accrued (or would have accrued) at the Note Rate through the end of the related Interest Period, including such loss or expense arising from interest or fees payable by Lender to lenders of funds obtained by it in order to maintain the LIBOR Loan hereunder, and (iii) the conversion (for any reason whatsoever, whether voluntary or involuntary) of the Note Rate from the LIBOR Rate to the Static LIBOR Rate with respect to any portion of the outstanding principal amount of the Loan then bearing interest at the LIBOR Rate on a date other than the Payment Date immediately following the last day of an Interest Period, including such loss or expenses arising from interest or fees payable by Lender to lenders of funds obtained by it in order to maintain a LIBOR Loan hereunder (the amounts referred to in clauses (i), (ii) and (iii) are herein referred to collectively as the “Breakage Costs”); provided Borrower shall not indemnify Lender from any loss or
-68-
expense arising from Lender’s gross negligence or willful misconduct. The obligations of Borrower under this Section 2.3(f)(vii) shall survive any termination of the Loan Documents and payment of the Note in full and the satisfaction of all other obligations of Borrower under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and shall not be waived by any delay by Lender in seeking such compensation. Lender shall have no obligation to purchase, sell and/or match funds in connection with the funding or maintaining of the Loan or any portion thereof.
(viii) Lender shall not be entitled to claim compensation pursuant to this Section 2.3(f) for any Foreign Taxes, increased cost or reduction in amounts received or receivable hereunder, or any reduced rate of return, which was incurred or which accrued more than one hundred eighty (180) days before the date Lender notified Borrower of the change in law or other circumstance on which such claim of compensation is based and delivered to Borrower a written statement setting forth in reasonable detail the basis for calculating the additional amounts owed to Lender under this Section 2.3(f), which statement shall be conclusive and binding upon all parties hereto absent manifest error.
(ix) All payments made by Borrower hereunder or under the other Loan Documents shall be made irrespective of, and without any deduction for, any setoff, defense or counterclaims.
(x) Remittances in payment of any part of the Loan in less than the required amount in immediately available U.S. funds shall not, regardless of any receipt or credit issued therefor, constitute payment until the required amount is actually received by the holder hereof in immediately available U.S. funds and shall be made and accepted subject to the condition that any check or draft may be handled for collection in accordance with the practices of the collecting bank or banks.
Section 2.4 Prepayments.
(a) Voluntary Prepayments.
(i) Borrower shall only have the right to prepay the Loan in whole or in part prior to the Stated Maturity Date in accordance with this Section 2.4.
(ii) At any time other than during the time period in any calendar month from and including the day after the Payment Date through and including the day prior to the Determination Date, Borrower may prepay the Loan at any time upon not less than ten (10) Business Days prior written notice to Lender (such prepayment, including any prepayment associated with a Property Release, and any prepayments in respect of the Additional Paydown Requirement, a “Voluntary Prepayment”), provided, that, such notice may be rescinded or modified by Borrower upon delivery of written notice to Lender on or prior to the date specified for prepayment in the applicable notice, provided that Borrower shall be responsible for the reasonable costs and expenses incurred by Lender in connection with the rescission of such prepayment notice. Any such Voluntary Prepayment shall include the applicable Prepayment Premium, if any, and all additional amounts required to be paid by Borrower and all other amounts owing by Borrower to
-69-
Lender under the Note and the other Loan Documents, including any Breakage Costs incurred by Lender in connection with the cancellation or termination of a LIBOR or swap contract entered into in connection with the Loan. Any Voluntary Prepayment which constitutes a prepayment associated with a Property Release shall be applied (and shall be accompanied by the applicable Prepayment Premium, if any) to the Loan as, and to the extent, provided in Section 2.5. Any other Voluntary Prepayments shall be applied (and shall be accompanied by the applicable Prepayment Premium, if any) pro rata (based on the then outstanding principal balance of the Loan and the Other Senior Mezzanine Loans relative to the aggregate outstanding principal balance of the Senior Mezzanine Loans) to the Loan and the Other Senior Mezzanine Loans. If the Loan or any Other Senior Mezzanine Loan has been divided into two or more components, the pro rata portion of any such Voluntary Prepayment applied to the Loan or such Other Senior Mezzanine Loan, as applicable, shall be applied sequentially (starting with the most senior component) to such components, if any, of the Loan and each Other Senior Mezzanine Loan, as applicable.
(b) Subject to the terms of the applicable Mortgage Loan Agreements, Borrower shall have the right to prepay, or to cause the prepayment of, the Mortgage Loan at any time. Prior to the repayment in full of the Mortgage Loan and the Senior Mezzanine Loans, voluntary prepayments (in whole or in part) of the Mezzanine 4 Loan from Excess Cash (as defined in each Senior Mezzanine Loan Agreement) or from other proceeds or revenues of any Property or the Collateral shall not be permitted.
(c) Prepayments Generally.
(i) All payments and prepayments of the Loan (whether in whole or in part), whether voluntary, involuntary, at the Maturity Date or otherwise shall include (x) payment by Borrower to Lender of the Prepayment Premium, including in connection with a Property Release, if any, (y) in the event payment or prepayment occurs on a Payment Date, interest on the principal amount of the Loan through and including the date on which such payment or prepayment occurs, and (z) in the event that any such payment or prepayment is made on a day other than a Payment Date (including if such Payment Date is not the ninth (9th) day of the calendar month because such day is not a Business Day), a sum equal to the amount of interest which would have accrued under the Note and this Agreement through the end of the Interest Period in which such payment or prepayment is made. For purposes of this Agreement, an involuntary prepayment shall be deemed to include a prepayment of the Loan in connection with or following Lender’s acceleration of the outstanding balance of the Loan, whether or not the Pledge Agreement is satisfied or released by foreclosure (whether under the UCC or otherwise), assignment of equity interests in lieu of foreclosure or by other means, including repayment of the Loan by Borrower or any other Person pursuant to any statutory or common law right of redemption.
(ii) Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, if the Loan has been divided into two or more components, the weighted average LIBOR Margin of the Loan following any partial prepayment of the Loan (unless such prepayment occurs during the continuance of an Event of Default or is a result of the application of Net
-70-
Liquidation Proceeds After Debt Service due to a Liquidation Event described in Section 2.4(f)(i)(A) or Section 2.4(f)(i)(B) below shall not be more than the weighted average LIBOR Margin which was applicable to the Loan immediately prior to such prepayment.
(d) Net Liquidation Proceeds After Debt Service; Excess Interest. Notwithstanding any other provision herein to the contrary, and provided no Event of Default exists, Borrower shall not be required to pay the Prepayment Premium or any other prepayment premium in connection with any prepayment occurring solely as a result of (i) the application of Insurance Proceeds, Condemnation Proceeds, title insurance proceeds or Net Liquidation Proceeds After Debt Service due to a Liquidation Event described in Section 2.4(f)(i)(A), Section 2.4(f)(i)(B) or Section 2.4(f)(i)(E) below, or (ii) the application of any interest in excess of the maximum rate permitted by applicable law to the reduction of the Loan. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Borrower shall pay interest for the full final Interest Period in which such prepayment occurs. Any partial prepayment shall be applied to the last payments of principal due under the Loan. Any mandatory prepayment of the principal of the Loan made pursuant to this Section 2.4(d) shall be applied to the reduction of the outstanding principal balance of the Loan.
(e) Application of Payments to the Note. Except as otherwise specifically set forth in this Section 2.4 and without limiting the other provisions of this Agreement, all voluntary and involuntary prepayments on the Note, including from Net Sale Proceeds, shall be applied, to the extent thereof, (a) first, to the payment of Prepayment Premiums which are due and payable in connection therewith, (b) to accrued and unpaid interest on Note A-1 and Note A-2, pro rata and pari passu, (c) to the principal of Note A-1 and Note A-2, pro rata and pari passu, and (d) thereafter, to any other sums due and unpaid to Lender in connection with the Loan on Note A-1 and Note A-2, pro rata and pari passu. Following the occurrence of an Event of Default, any prepayment made on the Note shall be applied to accrued but unpaid interest, late charges, accrued fees, the unpaid principal amount of the Note, and any other sums due and unpaid to Lender in connection with the Loan, to Note A-1 and Note A-2, pro rata and pari passu.
(f) Liquidation Events; Mandatory Prepayments.
(i) In the event of (A) any Casualty to any Individual Property or any material portion thereof, (B) any Condemnation of any Individual Property or any material portion thereof, (C) any transfer of any Individual Property or the Property as a whole in connection with a realization thereon following a Mortgage Loan Default, including a foreclosure sale or a sale under the UCC (a “UCC Sale”), (D) any Permitted CIGNA Mortgage Loan Refinancing, or (E) the receipt by any Individual Property Owner of any net proceeds realized under any owner’s title insurance policies of any Individual Property Owner after application of such proceeds by such Individual Property Owner to cure any title defect (each, a “Liquidation Event”), Borrower shall cause the related Net Liquidation Proceeds After Debt Service to be deposited directly in the Mezzanine Cash Management Account. On each date on which Lender actually receives a distribution of Net Liquidation Proceeds After Debt Service, subject to the provisions of Section 2.4(f)(ii), Borrower shall prepay the outstanding principal balance of the Loan, together with accrued interest and any other sums due hereunder, in an amount equal to one
-71-
hundred percent (100%) of such Net Liquidation Proceeds After Debt Service. Subject to the provisions of Section 2.4(f)(ii), any Net Liquidation Proceeds After Debt Service in excess of the Debt shall be paid to Mezzanine 2 Lender and applied in accordance with the terms of the Mezzanine 2 Loan Agreement. Any prepayment received by Lender pursuant to this Section 2.4(f)(i) on a date other than a Payment Date shall be held by Lender as collateral security for the Loan in an interest bearing account, and shall be applied by Lender on the next Payment Date.
(ii) Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 2.4(f)(i), any Net Liquidation Proceeds After Debt Service related to a Liquidation Event described in Section 2.4(f)(i)(D) above shall be applied, pro rata (based on the then outstanding principal balance of the Note in proportion to the then aggregate outstanding principal balance of the Note and the Other Senior Mezzanine Notes) to the Loan and the Other Senior Mezzanine Loans.
(iii) Borrower shall notify Lender of any Liquidation Event no later than one (1) Business Day following the first date on which Borrower has knowledge of such event. Borrower shall be deemed to have knowledge of (i) a sale (other than a foreclosure sale) of any Individual Property or the Collateral on the date on which a contract of sale for such sale is entered into, and a foreclosure or a UCC Sale, on the date notice of such foreclosure or UCC Sale is given, and (ii) a Permitted CIGNA Mortgage Loan Refinancing, on the date on which a commitment for such refinancing has been entered into. The provisions of this Section 2.4(f)(iii) shall not be construed to contravene in any manner the restrictions and other provisions regarding refinancing of the Mortgage Loan or the Sale or Pledge of any Individual Property or the Property as a whole or the Collateral set forth in this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.
(g) Guaranty Payments. Borrower acknowledges that the liability of Sponsor under the Guaranty, the Xxxxx Fargo Mortgage Loan Guaranty and under the Other Senior Mezzanine Loan Guaranties with respect to a Bankruptcy Recourse Event shall not exceed $200,000,000 in the aggregate. As a result of such limitation, Lender, Xxxxx Fargo Mortgage Loan Lender and any Other Senior Mezzanine Lenders may be required to pay to one or more of the other lenders a portion of any amount received from Sponsor on account of a Bankruptcy Recourse Event. Borrower acknowledges that, in the event Lender recovers amounts from Sponsor under the Guaranty in respect of a Bankruptcy Recourse Event and is thereafter required, pursuant to the terms of the Guaranty or the Intercreditor Agreement, to deliver all or a portion of such amount to Xxxxx Fargo Mortgage Loan Lender or one or more of Other Senior Mezzanine Lenders, then (A) the amount recovered by Lender shall be deemed to be reduced by such amounts (the amount recovered by Lender as so reduced, the “Actual Recovery Amount”), (B) the Actual Recovery Amount shall be applied in accordance with the terms of the Loan Documents, (C) any amounts paid to Xxxxx Fargo Mortgage Loan Lender shall be applied in accordance with the Xxxxx Fargo Mortgage Loan Documents and (D) any amounts paid to any Other Senior Mezzanine Lender shall be applied in accordance with the applicable Other Senior Mezzanine Loan Documents.
-72-
Section 2.5 Releases of Individual Properties and Obligations.
Borrower may permit any Individual Property Owner to obtain the release of an Individual Property that it owns from the lien (or at Individual Property Owner’s option, an assignment thereof to one or more third parties) of any Mortgage thereon (and any related Mortgage Loan Documents) and the release of the applicable Individual Property Owner’s obligations under any Mortgage Loan Documents and the release of Lender’s Lien on the interests in the applicable Individual Property Owner, in each case with respect to such Individual Property being released (other than those expressly stated to survive) (each such release or assignment a “Property Release”), upon the satisfaction of each of the following conditions:
(a) no Event of Default exists on the date of the Property Release;
(b) if the Individual Property being released is a Xxxxx Fargo Mortgage Loan Property, immediately prior to the Property Release, Borrower shall cause the Xxxxx Fargo Mortgage Loan Property Release Amount for such Individual Property to be paid by Xxxxx Fargo Mortgage Loan Borrower to Xxxxx Fargo Mortgage Lender (and not as a prepayment of the Loan) until the Xxxxx Fargo Mortgage Loan has been paid in full, and thereafter, the balance of any such Xxxxx Fargo Mortgage Loan Property Release Amount to be paid to Lender and the Other Senior Mezzanine Lenders, pro rata, based on the ratio of the outstanding principal balance of the applicable Senior Mezzanine Loan (including the Loan) as of the date of such Property Release to the aggregate then outstanding principal balance of the Senior Mezzanine Loans as of such date. Any payments to Lender under this Section 2.5(b) shall be deemed a Voluntary Prepayment of a portion of the Loan for all purposes hereunder;
(c) if the Individual Property being released is a CIGNA Mortgage Loan Property, immediately prior to the Property Release, Borrower shall pay the CIGNA Mortgage Loan Property Release Amount for such Individual Property to Lender and the Other Senior Mezzanine Lenders, pro rata, based on the ratio of the outstanding principal balance of the applicable Senior Mezzanine Loan (including the Loan) as of the date of such Property Release relative to the aggregate then outstanding principal balance of the Senior Mezzanine Loans as of such date. Any payments to Lender under this Section 2.5(c) shall be deemed a Voluntary Prepayment of a portion of the Loan for all purposes hereunder;
(d) concurrently with the payment of the applicable Release Amounts pursuant to Sections 2.5(b) or Section 2.5(c) above, each Other Mezzanine Borrower shall cause the Release Amount (as defined in the applicable Other Mezzanine Loan Agreement) applicable to such Individual Property to be paid in accordance with the terms of the applicable Other Mezzanine Loan Agreement;
(e) intentionally omitted;
(f) after giving effect to such Property Release, (i) the Release Debt Yield for the Property then remaining subject to the lien of the Mortgage shall exceed the Senior Mezzanine Debt Yield, immediately prior to such Property Release and (ii) the Release Debt Yield for the Property then remaining subject to the lien of the Mortgage shall exceed the

(i) if there are any Major Leases then affecting the Property, promptly following Lender’s request thereof, and in any event, within thirty (30) days following the execution, modification or termination of any Major Lease, certified rent rolls signed and dated by Borrower and Mortgage Loan Borrowers (or Maryland Owner, as applicable), detailing the names of all Tenants of the Improvements, the portion of Improvements (in terms of square footage) occupied by each Tenant, the base rent, additional rent and any other charges payable under each such Major Lease (including annual store sales required to be reported by Tenant under any such Major Lease), and the term of each such Major Lease, including the commencement and expiration dates and any tenant extension, expansion or renewal options, the extent to which any Tenant is in default under any such Major Lease, and any other information as is reasonably required by Lender;
(ii) monthly profit and loss statements, and balance sheets of each Borrower, Mortgage Loan Borrower and Maryland Owner on an Individual Property basis and on a consolidated basis (other than monthly consolidated balance sheets), in each case, prepared and certified by Borrower, Mortgage Loan Borrower and Maryland Owner, as applicable, in the form required by Lender, detailing accrued revenues, accrued expenses, the net operating income before and after debt service (principal and interest), FF&E Replacement and Capital Replacement reserve collections, and containing appropriate year-to-date information and comparisons, within thirty (30) days after the end of each calendar month;

-100-
be subject to verification by Lender), within forty-five (45) days after the end of each calendar quarter and ninety (90) days after the close of each calendar year of Borrower, as applicable. Such financial statements may be prepared on a consolidated basis with respect to Borrower Principal, provided such consolidated statements are accompanied by consolidating information comprised of a balance sheet, profit and loss statements and statements of operations for each Borrower, Mortgage Loan Borrower and Maryland Owner on a separate basis;
(iv) with respect to each entity comprising Sponsor, quarterly and annual balance sheets and profit and loss statements (with the annual financial statements audited by an Acceptable Accountant), provided, however, that such requirement with respect to Ashford Sponsor may be satisfied by the provision of the 10-Qs and 10-Ks of Ashford Hospitality Trust so long as all assets and liabilities of Ashford Hospitality Trust are owned and incurred through Ashford Sponsor, and Ashford Sponsor does not have any assets or liabilities which are not shown on such financial reports except for the interests of operating partnership unitholders other than Ashford Hospitality Trust; and
(v) an Annual Budget not later than thirty (30) days prior to the commencement of each calendar year of Borrower, Mortgage Loan Borrowers, Maryland Owner and Borrower Principal in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Lender. Lender acknowledges that amounts which are required to be reserved under the terms of this Agreement and the Xxxxx Fargo Mortgage Loan Agreement for the payment of Capital Replacements and FF&E Replacements may be aggregated for purposes of the Annual Budget and the Annual Budget may reflect that costs and expenses of FF&E Replacements and Capital Expenditures at any Individual Property which are required to be made under the terms of this Agreement or the Xxxxx Fargo Mortgage Loan Agreement shall be paid from such aggregate amount. In the event that Lender objects to a proposed Annual Budget submitted by Borrower, Lender shall advise Borrower of such objections within fifteen (15) days after receipt thereof (and deliver to Borrower a reasonably detailed description of such objections) and Borrower shall promptly revise such Annual Budget and resubmit the same to Lender. Lender shall advise Borrower of any objections to such revised Annual Budget within ten (10) days after receipt thereof (and deliver to Borrower a reasonably detailed description of such objections) and Borrower shall promptly revise the same in accordance with the process described in this subsection until Lender approves the Annual Budget. Until such time that Lender approves a proposed Annual Budget, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed, the most recent Annual Budget shall apply; provided that, such approved Annual Budget shall be adjusted to reflect actual increases in Taxes, Insurance Premiums, utilities expenses and fees and expenses under the applicable Management Agreement and Franchise Agreement (if any). Notwithstanding the foregoing, so long as any Management Agreement (with a non-Affiliated Manager) then permitted hereunder shall be in effect, Lender shall only have approval rights, and Borrower shall only have obligations related to delivering drafts, with respect to any Annual Budget if and to the extent the applicable Borrower(s), Mortgage Loan Borrower(s) or Maryland Owner have such approval rights and rights to receive drafts under the applicable Management Agreement. Without the prior written consent of Lender, not to be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned, Borrower shall not, and shall not permit Mortgage
-101-
Loan Borrower or Maryland Owner to, enter into any contracts or other agreements or expend any funds not provided for in the approved Annual Budget, other than expenditures (A) expressly permitted under the Mortgage Loan Documents, (B) required on an emergency basis to comply with the applicable Mortgage Loan Borrower’s and Maryland Owner’s obligations under a Management Agreement, Franchise Agreement, Ground Lease, or Condominium Document, (C) required to be made by reason of the occurrence of any emergency (i.e., an unexpected event which threatens imminent harm to persons or property at any Individual Property) and with respect to which it would be impracticable, under the circumstances, to obtain Lender’s prior consent thereto; (D) for non-discretionary items resulting from normal fluctuations in occupancy at the Individual Properties, (E) required by the brand standards of any Manager or Franchisor at any Individual Property, or (F) required to address unforeseen or unexpected events or fluctuations in revenue at any Individual Property; provided, however, that if at any time, Borrower deviates, or Borrower causes or permits Mortgage Loan Borrower or Maryland Owner to deviate, ten percent (10%) or more from an Annual Budget, either with respect to any separate line item therein, or in the aggregate (either, a “Material Deviation”), then Lender shall have the right to reasonably consult with Borrower regarding such Material Deviation, and the parties shall make such modifications to the Annual Budget as the parties shall mutually and reasonably agree upon, acting in a commercially reasonable manner, in order to attempt to avoid such a Material Deviation from occurring under such revised Annual Budget. Borrower shall notify Lender as promptly as practicable with respect to any Material Deviation, and any emergency expenditure made with respect to any Individual Property. At the request of Lender, Borrower shall cause Mortgage Loan Borrower and Maryland Owner to deliver evidence in a form satisfactory to Lender that amounts allocated to budgeted expenses have been paid to the extent due and payable in accordance with the approved Annual Budget.

(d) The accountant’s report on the financial statements referred to in clause (a)(iii) above shall contain a paragraph covering consolidating information substantially as follows: “Our audit was conducted for the purpose of forming an opinion on the consolidated financial statements taken as a whole. The accompanying consolidating balance sheet as of December 31, 20 , and the consolidating statement of operations for the year then ended, are presented for the purpose of additional analysis and are not a required part of the consolidation financial statements. The consolidating balance sheet and consolidating statement of operations have been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in the audit of the consolidated financial statements and, in our opinion, is fairly stated in all material respects in relation to the consolidated financial statements taken as a whole.”
(e) All items requiring the certification of Borrower shall require a certificate executed by the chief financial officer, treasurer or other authorized officer of Borrower or Sponsor.
(f) All monthly and other operating statements to be delivered by Borrowers hereunder shall be (and all accompanying Officer’s Certificates shall state that they have been) prepared based upon the Uniform System of Accounts for Hotels, current edition, or as otherwise required pursuant to the terms, if any, of the applicable Management Agreement and/or Franchise Agreement.

(e) the Franchise Agreement shall not grant to Franchisor any right of first offer, right of first refusal or option to purchase any Individual Property unless such rights are specifically subject and subordinate to the Mortgage, the Pledge Agreement
-115-

In the event a Mortgage Loan Borrower or Maryland Owner enters into a Franchise Agreement as permitted herein, such Franchise Agreement shall be a “Franchise Agreement” hereunder and the provisions of Section 5.23 shall apply thereto.

Borrower will cause each Mortgage Loan Borrower and Maryland Owner to preserve its interest in and title to each Individual Property that it owns and shall forever warrant and defend the same to Mortgage Loan Lender against any and all claims made by, through or under Mortgage Loan Borrower or Maryland Owner and shall forever warrant and defend the validity and priority of the lien and security interest created under the Mortgage Loan Documents against the claims of all Persons whomsoever claiming by, through or under Mortgage Loan Borrower or Maryland Owner. The foregoing warranty of title by Borrower as to the Collateral shall survive the foreclosure of the Collateral or UCC Sale or assignment of interests under the Pledge Agreement and shall inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by Lender in the event Lender acquires title to the Collateral pursuant to any UCC Sale or assignment.
Section 5.26 Ground Leases.
(a) Borrower will cause each Individual Property Owner to comply in all material respects with the terms and conditions of the Ground Leases (including, but not limited to, the payment of all rent, additional rent, percentage rent and other charges required to be paid
-116-
under the Ground Leases). Borrower will not permit or cause any Individual Property Owner to do or permit anything to be done, the doing of which, or refrain from doing anything, the omission of which, will impair or tend to impair the security of the Individual Property leased to such Individual Property Owner under any Ground Lease or will be grounds for declaring a forfeiture of any Ground Lease.
(b) Borrower shall cause each Individual Property Owner to enforce the Ground Leases and will not terminate, modify, cancel, change, supplement, alter or amend any of the Ground Leases (except in connection with a buyout (a “Ground Lease Buyout”) of the fee title held by any Ground Lessor where such fee contemporaneously becomes subject to the Lien of the related Mortgage), or waive, excuse, condone or in any way release or discharge any Ground Lessor of or from any of the material covenants and conditions to be performed or observed by the Ground Lessor under the applicable Ground Lease. Borrower hereby expressly covenants with Lender not to permit or cause any Individual Property Owner to cancel, surrender, amend, modify or alter in any way the terms of any Ground Lease. Borrower hereby agrees to cause each Individual Property Owner to assign to Xxxxx Fargo Mortgage Loan Lender, as further security for the payment of the Debt and for the performance and observance of the terms, covenants and conditions of the related Mortgages, all of the rights, privileges and prerogatives of such Individual Property Owner, as tenant under the Ground Leases relating to the Xxxxx Fargo Mortgage Loan Property, and not to surrender the leasehold estate created by such Ground Leases or terminate, cancel, modify, change, supplement, alter or amend such Ground Leases, and any such surrender of the leasehold estate created by such Ground Leases or termination, cancellation, modification, change, supplement, alteration or amendment of such Ground Leases (except in connection with a Ground Lease Buyout) without the prior consent of Lender shall be void and of no force and effect.
(c) Borrower will cause each Individual Property Owner to give Lender prompt (and in all events within two (2) Business Days) notice of (i) any written notice delivered by such Individual Property Owner alleging a default under any Ground Lease, (ii) the receipt by such Individual Property Owner of any written notice of default or alleging a default from any Ground Lessor or (iii) the occurrence of any event known to Borrower, Mortgage Loan Borrower or Maryland Owner that, with the passage of time or service of notice, or both, would constitute a default by the Individual Property Owner or Ground Lessor. Borrower will cause each Individual Property Owner to promptly (and in all events within two (2) Business Days) furnish to Lender copies of all information furnished to any Ground Lessor in accordance with the terms of the Ground Leases or the provisions of this Section 5.26. Borrower will deposit, or will cause each Individual Property Owner to deposit with Lender an exact copy of any written notice received or given by such Individual Property Owner in any way relating to or affecting any Ground Lease which may concern or affect the estate of the related Ground Lessor or such Individual Property Owner thereunder in or under any Ground Lease or in the real estate thereby demised.
(d) Borrower hereby agrees to cause each Individual Property Owner to grant Lender the right, but not the obligation, to perform any obligations of such Individual Property Owner under the terms of any Ground Lease (subject to the prior rights of any CIGNA Mortgage Lender with respect to a CIGNA Mortgage Loan Ground Lease) during the existence of a Default (provided such Default is related to a Ground Lease) or Event of Default or at any time
-117-
after Lender receives written notice that such Individual Property Owner has defaulted or is about to default under the terms of any such Ground Lease and Borrower hereby agrees to cause such Individual Property Owner to expressly authorize and appoint Lender its attorney-in-fact to perform, upon written notice to such Individual Property Owner, any obligations of such Individual Property Owner under the terms of any such Ground Lease in the name of and upon behalf of such Individual Property Owner, which power of attorney shall be irrevocable and shall be deemed to be coupled with an interest. All costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses) so incurred by Lender, shall be treated as an advance secured by the Pledge Agreement, shall bear interest thereon at the Default Rate from the date of payment by Lender until paid in full and shall be paid by Borrower to Lender within five (5) days after demand. No performance by Lender of any obligations of Borrower shall constitute a waiver of any Event of Default arising by reason of Borrower’s failure to perform the same. If Lender shall make any payment or perform any act or take action in accordance with this Section 5.26, Lender will notify Borrower of the making of any such payment, the performance of any such act, or the taking of any such action promptly after taking such action. In any such event, subject to the rights of Ground Lessors specifically reserved under the Ground Leases and the rights of lessees, sublessees and other occupants under any Leases, Lender and any person designated by Lender shall have, and are hereby granted, the right to enter upon any Individual Property at any time and from time to time for the purpose of taking any such action.
(e) To the extent permitted by law, Borrower agrees that the price payable by Borrower or any other person or entity in the exercise of any right of redemption following foreclosure of an Individual Property subject to a Ground Lease shall include all rents paid and other sums advanced by Lender (together with interest thereon at the Default Rate) as ground lessee under the Ground Leases, on behalf of Borrower on account of each applicable Individual Property.
(f) Unless Lender shall otherwise consent, Borrower shall cause each Individual Property Owner to exercise its rights under the Ground Lease and applicable law to ensure that the fee title and the leasehold estate in each Individual Property subject to a Ground Lease shall not merge but shall always be kept separate and distinct, notwithstanding the union of said estates either in Ground Lessor or in a Borrower, or in a third party, by purchase or otherwise except in a Ground Lease Buyout in connection with which Xxxxx Fargo Individual Property Owner has delivered to Xxxxx Fargo Mortgage Loan Lender an amendment to the related Mortgage spreading the lien of the Mortgage over the fee interests and providing title insurance coverage related to the priority of the lien of the Mortgage over such interest.
(g) Intentionally omitted.
(h) Borrower hereby acknowledges and agrees that if any Ground Lessor shall deliver to Lender a copy of any notice of default sent by such Ground Lessor to Individual Property Owner, as tenant under a Ground Lease (or to Operating Lessee, as subtenant thereunder), Lender shall be entitled (but not obligated) to take or omit to take any action in reliance thereon (and without any duty of inquiry) and in response to such notice.
(i) For any Ground Lease scheduled to mature earlier than fifteen (15) years from the date of this Agreement, Borrower shall cause the applicable Individual Property Owner
-118-
to exercise each individual option, if any, to extend or renew the term of any Ground Lease promptly (and in all events before the expiration of any applicable deadline to extend under the Ground Lease if such applicable deadline to extend is prior to the latest Extended Maturity Date that may occur with respect to the Loan) after demand by Lender made at any time within one (1) year of the last day upon which any such option may be exercised, and Borrower hereby expressly authorizes and appoints Lender its attorney-in-fact to exercise any such option (subject to any right to do so in favor of a CIGNA Mortgage Lender in the case of a Ground Lease relating to a CIGNA Mortgage Loan Property) in the name of and upon behalf of such Individual Property Owner to so exercise such option if Borrower fails to exercise the same as herein required, which power of attorney shall be irrevocable and shall be deemed to be coupled with an interest.
(j) Borrower shall cause Mortgage Loan Borrower and Maryland Owner to cause each Lease of space at any Individual Property subject to a Ground Lease hereafter made and each renewal of any existing Lease (or any other Lease as may be required by the Ground Lease) to provide that, (i) in the event of the termination of the related Ground Lease, the Lease shall not terminate or be terminable by the lessee; (ii) in the event of any action for the foreclosure of the related Mortgage, the Lease shall not terminate or be terminable by the subtenant by reason of the termination of the Ground Lease unless the lessee is specifically named and joined in any such action and unless a judgment is obtained therein against the lessee; and (iii) in the event that the related Ground Lease is terminated as aforesaid, the lessee under the Lease shall attorn to the lessee under such Ground Lease or to the purchaser at the sale of the related Individual Property on such foreclosure, as the case may be.
(k) Borrower shall notify or cause the applicable Individual Property Owner to notify Lender promptly (and in any event within five (5) days) of any claim, suit, action or proceeding relating to the rejection of any Ground Lease. Lender is hereby irrevocably appointed as each Borrower’s attorney-in-fact, coupled with an interest, with the power to file and prosecute, to the exclusion of each Borrower during an Event of Default, any proofs of claim, complaints, motions, applications, notices and other documents, in any case (other than a CIGNA Mortgage Loan Ground Lease) in respect of the Ground Lessor under the Bankruptcy Code. A Borrower may make any compromise or settlement in connection with such proceedings (subject to Lender’s reasonable approval); provided, however, that Lender shall be authorized and entitled to compromise or settle any such proceeding if such compromise or settlement is made after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default. The applicable Borrower shall promptly execute and deliver, or cause the applicable Individual Property Owner to promptly execute and deliver, to Lender any and all instruments reasonably required in connection with any such proceeding after reasonably timely request therefor by Lender. Except as set forth above, Borrower shall not, and shall not permit any Individual Property Owner to, adjust, compromise, settle or enter into any agreement with respect to such proceedings without the prior written consent of Lender, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld.
(l) Borrower shall not, and shall not permit any Individual Property Owner to, without Lender’s prior written consent, elect to treat any Ground Lease as terminated under Section 365(h)(1) of the Bankruptcy Code. Any such election made without Lender’s prior written consent shall be void.
-119-
(m) If pursuant to Section 365(h)(1) of the Bankruptcy Code, any Individual Property Owner seeks to offset against the rent reserved in any Ground Lease the amount of any damages caused by the non-performance by the Ground Lessor of any of the Ground Lessor’s obligations under the related Ground Lease after the rejection by the Ground Lessor of such Ground Lease under the Bankruptcy Code, Borrower shall, and shall cause the applicable Individual Property Owner to, prior to effecting such offset, notify Lender of its intention to do so, setting forth the amounts proposed to be so offset and the basis therefor. If Lender has failed to object as aforesaid within ten (10) days after notice from Borrower or the applicable Individual Property Owner in accordance with the first sentence of this Section 5.26(m) (or such shorter period of time as may be necessary to timely assert such offset so long as the inability to afford Lender ten (10) days notice was not due to Borrower’s or the applicable Individual Property Owner’s delay), Borrower may proceed to permit such Individual Property Owner to effect such offset in the amounts set forth in such Borrower’s notice. Neither Lender’s failure to object as aforesaid nor any objection or other communication between Lender and a Borrower relating to such offset shall constitute an approval of any such offset by Lender. Borrower shall indemnify and save Lender harmless from and against any and all claims, demands, actions, suits, proceedings, damages, losses, costs and expenses of every nature whatsoever (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements) arising from or relating to any such offset by a Borrower against the rent reserved in any Ground Lease.
(n) If, during the continuance of an Event of Default, any action, proceeding, motion or notice shall be commenced or filed in respect of an Individual Property that is subject to a Ground Lease (other than a CIGNA Mortgage Loan Ground Lease) in connection with any case under the Bankruptcy Code, Lender has the option, to the exclusion of an Individual Property Owner that is the lessee under such Ground Lease, exercisable upon notice from Lender to Borrower, to conduct and control any such litigation with counsel of Lender’s choice. Lender may proceed in its own name or in the name of the applicable Individual Property Owner in connection with any such litigation, and Borrower agrees to cause such Individual Property Owner to execute any and all powers, authorizations, consents and other documents required by Lender in connection therewith. Borrower shall pay to Lender all costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements) paid or incurred by Lender in connection with the prosecution or conduct of any such proceedings within five (5) days after notice from Lender setting forth such costs and expenses in reasonable detail. Any such costs or expenses not paid by Borrower as aforesaid shall be secured by the lien of the Collateral, shall be added to the principal amount of the Debt and shall bear interest at the Default Interest Rate. Borrower shall not, and shall not permit or cause any Individual Property Owner to, commence any action, suit, proceeding or case, or file any application or make any motion, in respect of any Ground Lease in any such case under the Bankruptcy Code without the prior written consent of Lender.
(o) Borrower shall cause an Individual Property Owner that is the lessee under the related Ground Lease to promptly, after obtaining knowledge thereof, notify Lender of any filing by or against any Ground Lessor of a petition under the Bankruptcy Code. Such notice shall set forth any information available to such Individual Property Owner as to the date of such filing, the court in which such petition was filed, and the relief sought therein. Borrower shall cause an Individual Property Owner promptly deliver to Lender following receipt any and all notices, summonses, pleadings, applications and other documents received by such Individual Property Owner in connection with any such petition and any proceedings relating thereto.
-120-
(p) If there shall be filed by or against any Individual Property Owner a petition under the Bankruptcy Code, and such Individual Property Owner, as the tenant under any Ground Lease, shall determine to reject the Ground Lease to which it is a party pursuant to Section 365(a) of the Bankruptcy Code, then Borrower shall cause such Individual Property Owner to give Lender not less than ten (10) days’ prior notice of the date on which such Individual Property Owner shall apply to the bankruptcy court for authority to reject such Ground Lease(s). Lender has the right, but not the obligation, to serve upon such Borrower within such 10-day period a notice stating that (i) Lender demands that such Individual Property Owner assume and assign the Ground Lease(s) to Lender pursuant to Section 365 of the Bankruptcy Code and (ii) Lender covenants to cure or provide adequate assurance of prompt cure of all defaults and provide adequate assurance of future performance under such Ground Lease(s). If Lender serves upon any Borrower or the Individual Property Owner the notice described in the preceding sentence, the applicable Borrower or Individual Property Owner shall not seek to reject such Ground Lease(s) and shall comply with the demand provided for in clause (i) of the preceding sentence within thirty (30) days after the notice has been given, subject to the performance by Lender of the covenant provided for in clause (ii) of the preceding sentence.
(q) Intentionally Omitted.
(r) Borrower shall not select or approve any Person to act as “insurance trustee” or other depositary that holds Proceeds or Awards without first obtaining the prior written consent of Lender (not to be unreasonably withheld).
(s) Within twenty (20) days after receipt of written demand by Lender, but in no event more than two (2) times in any calendar year, Borrower shall use reasonable efforts to cause Mortgage Loan Borrower to obtain from Ground Lessor under each Ground Lease and furnish to Lender an estoppel certificate of Ground Lessor stating the date through which rent has been paid and whether or not there are any defaults thereunder and specifying the nature of such claimed defaults, if any; provided, that any such estoppels shall, to the extent permitted under the applicable Ground Lease, be addressed to Lender, Other Mezzanine Lenders and the Xxxxx Fargo Mortgage Lender or CIGNA Mortgage Lender, as applicable; and provided, further, that “reasonable efforts” in this clause (s) shall not include the payment of any separate fee by Mortgage Loan Borrower or Maryland Owner to Ground Lessor in connection with any such estoppel certificate.
Section 5.27 Condominiums.

(c) In the event Borrower is a single member Delaware limited liability company, the limited liability company agreement of Borrower (the “LLC Agreement”) shall provide that (i) upon the occurrence of any event that causes the sole member of Borrower (“Member”) to cease to be the member of Borrower (other than (A) upon an assignment by Member of all of its limited liability company interest in Borrower and the admission of the transferee in accordance with the Loan Documents and the LLC Agreement, or (B) the resignation of Member and the admission of an additional member of Borrower in accordance with the terms of the Loan Documents and the LLC Agreement), any person acting as Independent Director of Borrower shall, without any action of any other Person and simultaneously with the Member ceasing to be the member of Borrower, automatically be admitted to Borrower (“Special Member”) and shall continue Borrower without dissolution and (ii) Special Member may not resign from Borrower or transfer its rights as Special Member unless (A) a successor Special Member has been admitted to Borrower as Special Member in accordance with requirements of Delaware law and (B) such successor Special Member has also accepted its appointment as an Independent Director. The LLC Agreement shall further provide that (i) Special Member shall automatically cease to be a member of Borrower upon the admission to Borrower of a substitute Member, (ii) Special Member shall be a member of
-134-
Borrower that has no interest in the profits, losses and capital of Borrower and has no right to receive any distributions of Borrower assets, (iii) pursuant to Section 18-301 of the Delaware Limited Liability Company Act (the “Act”), Special Member shall not be required to make any capital contributions to Borrower and shall not receive a limited liability company interest in Borrower, (iv) Special Member, in its capacity as Special Member, may not bind Borrower and (v) except as required by any mandatory provision of the Act, Special Member, in its capacity as Special Member, shall have no right to vote on, approve or otherwise consent to any action by, or matter relating to, Borrower, including the merger, consolidation or conversion of Borrower; provided, however, such prohibition shall not limit the obligations of Special Member, its capacity as Independent Director, to vote on such matters required by the Loan Documents or the LLC Agreement. In order to implement the admission to Borrower of Special Member, Special Member shall execute a counterpart to the LLC Agreement. Prior to its admission to Borrower as Special Member, Special Member shall not be a member of Borrower.
Upon the occurrence of any event that causes the Member to cease to be a member of Borrower, to the fullest extent permitted by law, the personal representative of Member shall, within ninety (90) days after the occurrence of the event that terminated the continued membership of Member in Borrower, agree in writing (i) to continue Borrower and (ii) to the admission of the personal representative or its nominee or designee, as the case may be, as a substitute member of Borrower, effective as of the occurrence of the event that terminated the continued membership of Member of Borrower in Borrower. Any action initiated by or brought against Member or Special Member under any Creditors’ Rights Laws shall not cause Member or Special Member to cease to be a member of Borrower and upon the occurrence of such an event, the business of Borrower shall continue without dissolution. The LLC Agreement shall provide that each of Member and Special Member waives any right it might have to agree in writing to dissolve Borrower upon the occurrence of any action initiated by or brought against Member or Special Member under any Creditors’ Rights Laws, or the occurrence of an event that causes Member or Special Member to cease to be a member of Borrower.

In addition, Borrower shall cause Property Owners to obtain: (y) if any portion of the Improvements is currently or at any time in the future located in a “special flood hazard area” designated by the Federal Emergency Management Agency, flood hazard insurance in an amount equal to the maximum amount of such insurance available under the National Flood Insurance Act of 1968, the Flood Disaster Protection Act of 1973 or the National Flood Insurance Reform Act of 1994, as each may be amended; and (z) earthquake insurance in amounts and in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Lender in the event any Individual Property is located in an area with a high degree of seismic risk, provided that the insurance pursuant to clauses (y) and (z) hereof shall be on terms consistent with the comprehensive all risk insurance policy required under this subsection (i);
(ii) Commercial general liability insurance against claims for personal injury, bodily injury, death or property damage occurring upon, in or about any Individual Property, with such insurance (A) to be on the so-called “occurrence” form with a general aggregate limit of not less than $2,000,000 and a per occurrence limit of not less than $1,000,000; (B) to continue at not less than the aforesaid limit until required to be changed by Lender in writing by reason of changed economic conditions making such protection inadequate; and (C) to cover at least the following hazards: (1) premises and

(iii) loss of rents insurance or business income insurance, as applicable, (A) with loss payable to Lender; (B) covering all risks required to be covered by the insurance provided for in subsection (i) above; (C) which provides that after the physical loss to the Improvements and Personal Property occurs, the loss of rents or income, as applicable, will be insured until such rents or income, as applicable, either return to the same level that existed prior to the loss, or the expiration of 18 months, whichever first occurs, and notwithstanding that the policy may expire prior to the end of such period; and (D) which contains an extended period of indemnity endorsement which provides that after the physical loss to the Improvements and Personal Property has been repaired, the continued loss of income will be insured until such income either returns to the same level it was at prior to the loss, or the expiration of six (6) months from the date that the related Individual Property is repaired or replaced and operations are resumed, whichever first occurs, and notwithstanding that the policy may expire prior to the end of such period. The amount of such loss of rents or business income insurance, as applicable, shall be determined prior to the date hereof and at least once each year thereafter based on Lender’s reasonable estimate of the gross income from the related Individual Property for the succeeding period of coverage required above. All proceeds payable to Lender pursuant to this subsection shall be held by Lender and shall be applied to the obligations secured by the Loan Documents from time to time due and payable hereunder and under the Note; provided, however, that nothing herein contained shall be deemed to relieve Borrower of its obligation to pay the obligations secured by the Loan Documents on the respective dates of payment provided for in the Note, this Agreement and the other Loan Documents except to the extent such amounts are actually paid out of the proceeds of such loss of rents or business income insurance, as applicable;
(iv) at all times during which structural construction, repairs or alterations are being made with respect to the Improvements, and only if the related Individual Property coverage form does not otherwise apply, (A) owner’s contingent or protective liability insurance covering claims not covered by or under the terms or provisions of the above mentioned commercial general liability insurance policy; and (B) the insurance provided for in subsection (i) above written in a so-called Builder’s Risk Completed Value form (1) on a non-reporting basis, (2) against “all risks” insured against pursuant to subsection (i) above, (3) including permission to occupy the related Individual Property, and (4) with an agreed amount endorsement waiving co-insurance provisions;

-147-
(vii) insurance against damage resulting from acts of terrorism, on terms consistent with the commercial property insurance policy required under subsection (i) above and on terms consistent with the business income policy required under subsection (iii) above (provided, however, after the Closing Date, Borrower cause Property Owners to use commercially reasonable efforts consistent with that of prudent owners of commercial real estate of equal quality to the Property to maintain such insurance coverage to the extent such coverage is available at commercially reasonable rates and further, provided, that, Borrower shall not be required to cause Property Owners to maintain terrorism insurance on the value of the applicable Individual Property attributed to the Land (as defined in the Mortgages) component of the applicable Individual Property;
(viii) windstorm insurance on terms (including amounts) consistent with those required under this Section 8.1(a) at all times during the term of the Loan;
(ix) excess liability insurance in an amount not less than $75,000,000 per occurrence on terms consistent with the commercial general liability insurance required under subsection (ii) above; and

(b) All insurance provided for in Section 8.1(a) shall be obtained under valid and enforceable policies (collectively, the “Policies” or in the singular, the “Policy”), and shall be subject to the approval of Lender, whose approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, as to insurance companies, amounts, deductibles, loss payees and insureds. The Policies shall be issued by financially sound and responsible insurance companies authorized to do business in the State and having a claims paying ability rating of “A-” or better by at least two Rating Agencies, one of which must be S&P or such other Rating Agencies approved by Lender, provided, that, the insurance companies issuing the Policies required pursuant to Section 8.1(a)(i)(y) and (z) shall only be required to have a claims paying ability rating approved by Lender. The Policies described in Section 8.1(a) shall designate Lender and its successors and assigns as additional insureds, mortgagees and/or loss payee as deemed appropriate by Lender. To the extent such Policies are not available as of the Closing Date, Borrower shall deliver certified (by Borrower) copies of all Policies (excluding blanket policies for which schedules showing coverage for the Property shall be sufficient) to Lender not later than thirty (30) days after the Closing Date. No later than ten (10) days following the expiration date of the Policies theretofore furnished to Lender, Borrower shall deliver to Lender certificates evidencing the renewal of such Policies which shall be satisfactory to Lender and, within forty-five (45) days of renewal, shall provide Lender with evidence satisfactory to Lender of the payment of the premiums due thereunder (the “Insurance Premiums”) and the payment allocation for each Individual Property. Borrower shall deliver abstracts of the Policies (in substance acceptable to Lender) that are evidenced by the certificates delivered pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence. Further, upon request of Lender, Borrower, Mortgage Loan Borrower, Maryland Owner, and Manager, as applicable,
-148-
shall promptly (but in no event more than five (5) Business Days after Lender’s request) (i) permit Lender or cause Manager to permit Lender, or its insurance consultant acting on Lender’s behalf, all access that Mortgage Loan Borrower or Maryland Owner has (and to the extent a Management Agreement does not have any specific provisions related to Mortgage Loan Borrower’s or Maryland Owner’s access to the related Manager’s blanket insurance policies, use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain such access) to the full blanket insurance policy at such location that Borrower or Manager, as the case may be, maintains such policy (which includes the Policies) for purposes of reading such blanket insurance policy only and (ii) deliver to Lender copies of all applicable excerpts from the Policies (or full copies of the Policies in the event the same are required by court order to be produced by Lender, Borrower, Mortgage Loan Borrower or Maryland Owner in connection with any proceeding or action or claim thereunder or relating thereto, it being understood that Manager shall have the right to contest the same) upon request therefor by Lender, which excerpts shall include (but not be limited to) the insurance companies providing coverage, the coverage provided thereunder, applicable endorsements, and all provisions of the Policies required by Lender to make a determination of loss or otherwise defend, file, respond or process a claim under or relating to such Policies.
(c) Any blanket property insurance Policy shall specifically include a schedule of values that stipulates the estimated full replacement cost of the building and contents, as well as the estimated business interruption value, for each Individual Property and, for any Individual Property which is located in a special hazard flood area, a separate dedicated flood insurance limit and deductible with respect to any of the Improvements at such Individual Property which are separate structures. In no event shall property insurance coverage be bound on terms that do not provide an “all risk” policy containing provisions for the “full” replacement cost of each Individual Property.
(d) The Policies provided for or contemplated by Section 8.1(a)(ii), Section 8.1(a)(iv)(A) and Section 8.1(a)(viii) shall name Property Owners as the insured and Lender as the additional insured (subject to the rights of Mortgage Loan Lender), as their interests may appear, and all other insurance required hereunder, including property damage, business income and rent loss insurance, boiler and machinery, flood and earthquake insurance, shall contain a so-called New York standard non-contributing mortgagee clause in favor of Lender (subject to the rights of Mortgage Loan Lender) providing that the loss thereunder shall be payable to Lender (subject to the rights of Mortgage Loan Lender), or a manuscript mortgagee clause which provides Lender with the same or broader benefits as such New York standard non-contributing mortgagee clause, as determined by Lender in its reasonable discretion.
(e) All Policies provided for in Section 8.1(a) shall contain clauses or endorsements to the effect that:
(i) no act or negligence of Property Owners, or anyone acting for Mortgage Loan Borrower or Maryland Owner, or of any Tenant or other occupant, or failure to comply with the provisions of any Policy, which might otherwise result in a forfeiture of the insurance or any part thereof, shall in any way affect the validity or enforceability of the insurance insofar as Lender is concerned;
-149-
(ii) the Policies shall not be materially changed (other than to increase the coverage provided thereby), canceled or non-renewed without at least thirty (30) days’ prior written notice to Lender and any other party named therein as an additional insured;
(iii) the owner thereof will endeavor to give written notice to Lender if the Policies have not been renewed twenty (20) days prior to its expiration; however, at all times Borrower will have “all risk” property insurance policies in place covering full replacement costs of the Individual Property; and
(iv) Lender shall not be liable for any Insurance Premiums thereon or subject to any assessments thereunder; and
(v) any claim or defense the insurance company may have against Borrower or Property Owners to deny payment of any claim by Borrower or Property Owners thereunder shall not be effective against Lender (and affirmatively providing that the insurance company will pay the proceeds of such Policies to Lender notwithstanding any claim or defense of the insurance company against Lender) and such Policies shall also contain a standard “Waiver of Subrogation” endorsement.
(f) If at any time Lender is not in receipt of written evidence that all insurance required hereunder is in full force and effect, Lender shall have the right, without notice to Borrower to take such action as Lender deems necessary to protect its interest in any Individual Property, including obtaining such insurance coverage as Lender in its sole discretion deems appropriate. All premiums incurred by Lender in connection with such action or in obtaining such insurance and keeping it in effect shall be paid by Borrower to Lender upon demand and, until paid, shall be secured by the Pledge Agreement and shall bear interest at the Default Rate.
(g) Borrower further covenants and agrees that Borrower shall exercise whatever right it has to cause each Manager (or any successor Managers) to maintain at all times during the term of the Loan worker’s compensation insurance as required by Governmental Authorities, provided, that, notwithstanding the foregoing, at all times each Individual Property shall at all times comply with applicable Legal Requirements relating to the maintenance of any such insurance at each such Individual Property.
(h) Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, to the extent that the Policies relating to an Individual Property are maintained by a Manager on the date hereof, and such Manager continues after the date hereof to maintain the same or better (as determined by Lender in its reasonable discretion) insurance coverage for such Individual Properties under the related Policies that exists on the date hereof, such Policies shall be deemed to satisfy the requirements of this Section 8.1, subject, however, to Lender’s right to require other insurance pursuant to Section 8.1(a)(x).
Section 8.2 Casualty.
If an Individual Property shall be damaged or destroyed, in whole or in part, by fire or other casualty (a “Casualty”), Borrower shall give prompt notice of such damage to Lender and shall cause the applicable Mortgage Loan Borrower or Maryland Owner to promptly commence and diligently prosecute the Restoration of the related Individual Property in
-150-
accordance with (a) in the case of Xxxxx Fargo Mortgage Loan Property, Section 8.4 and Section 8.4 of the Xxxxx Fargo Mortgage Loan Agreement, whether or not Mortgage Loan Lender or Lender makes any Net Proceeds available pursuant to Section 8.4 or Section 8.4 of the Xxxxx Fargo Mortgage Loan Agreement, as applicable, and (b) in the case of CIGNA Mortgage Loan Property, the restoration provisions of the Xxxxx Fargo Mortgage Loan Documents. Borrower shall cause the applicable Mortgage Loan Borrower or Maryland Owner to pay all costs of such Restoration whether or not such costs are covered by insurance. Lender may, but shall not be obligated to make proof of loss if not made promptly by Borrower, subject to the rights and obligations of Mortgage Loan Lender and Mortgage Loan Borrower or Maryland Owner under the related Mortgage Loan Documents. Borrower and, to the extent required under the applicable Management Agreement, the Manager shall cause the applicable Mortgage Loan Borrower or Maryland Owner to adjust all claims for Insurance Proceeds in consultation with, and approval of, Mortgage Loan Lender; provided, however, if the Mortgage Loan has been satisfied, Borrower shall cause Mortgage Loan Borrower and Maryland Owner to adjust all claims for Insurance Proceeds in consultation with, and approval of, Lender and if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing after the Mortgage Loan has been satisfied, Lender shall have the exclusive right (as between Borrower and Lender and subject to the rights of Mortgage Loan Lender) to participate in the adjustment of all claims for Insurance Proceeds.
Section 8.3 Condemnation.
Borrower shall promptly give Lender notice of the actual or threatened commencement of any proceeding for the Condemnation of any Individual Property of which any Borrower has knowledge and shall cause Mortgage Loan Borrower and Maryland Owner to deliver to Lender copies of any and all papers served in connection with such proceedings. Lender may participate in any such proceedings, and Borrower shall from time to time deliver to Lender all instruments requested by it to permit such participation. Borrower shall cause Mortgage Loan Borrower and Maryland Owner at its expense, to diligently prosecute any such proceedings, and shall consult with Lender, its attorneys and experts, and cooperate with them in the carrying on or defense of any such proceedings. Notwithstanding any taking by any public or quasi-public authority through Condemnation or otherwise (including any transfer made in lieu of or in anticipation of the exercise of such taking), Borrower shall continue to pay the Debt at the time and in the manner provided for its payment in the Note and in this Agreement and the Debt shall not be reduced until any Net Liquidation Proceeds After Debt Service shall have been actually received and applied by Lender, after the deduction of expenses of collection and subject to the rights of Mortgage Loan Lender, to the reduction or discharge of the Debt. Lender shall not be limited to the interest paid on the Award by the condemning authority but shall be entitled to receive out of the Award as Net Liquidation Proceeds After Debt Service interest at the rate or rates provided herein or in the Note. If an Individual Property or any portion thereof is taken by a condemning authority, Borrower shall cause Mortgage Loan Borrower and Maryland Owner to promptly commence and diligently prosecute the Restoration of the related Individual Property and otherwise comply with (a) in the case of a Xxxxx Fargo Mortgage Loan Property, the provisions of Section 8.4 and Section 8.4 of the Xxxxx Fargo Mortgage Loan Agreement, whether or not Lender makes any Net Proceeds available pursuant to Section 8.4 or Xxxxx Fargo Mortgage Loan Lenders makes any Net Proceeds available pursuant to Section 8.4 of the Xxxxx Fargo Mortgage Loan Agreement, and (b) in the case of a CIGNA Mortgage Loan Property, the restoration provisions of the applicable CIGNA Mortgage Loan Documents and the
-151-
provisions of Section 8.4. Subject to the terms and provisions of the Mortgage Loan Documents and the right of Mortgage Loan Lender to receive the Award, if the Collateral is sold, through foreclosure or otherwise, prior to the receipt by Lender of the Award, Lender shall have the right, whether or not a deficiency judgment on the Note shall have been sought, recovered or denied, to receive the Award, or a portion thereof sufficient to pay the Debt.
Section 8.4 Restoration.

(a) If the Net Proceeds shall be less than the applicable Restoration Threshold and the costs of completing the Restoration shall be less than the applicable Restoration Threshold, the Net Proceeds will be disbursed by Lender to Borrower and Property Owners, as the case may be, upon receipt, provided that all of the conditions set forth in Section 8.4(b)(i) below and (in the case of Xxxxx Fargo Mortgage Loan Property) those conditions set forth in Section 8.4(b)(i) of the Xxxxx Fargo Mortgage Loan Agreement are each met and Borrower delivers to Lender a written undertaking by Property Owners to expeditiously commence and to satisfactorily complete with due diligence the Restoration in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and (in the case of Xxxxx Fargo Mortgage Loan Property) the Xxxxx Fargo Mortgage Loan Agreement.
(b) If the Net Proceeds are equal to or greater than the applicable Restoration Threshold or the costs of completing the Restoration are equal to or greater than the applicable Restoration Threshold, Lender shall make the Net Proceeds available for the Restoration in accordance with the provisions of this Section 8.4.

(F) Lender shall be satisfied, before Restoration commences and at the time of each disbursement of Net Proceeds, that any operating deficits, including all scheduled payments of principal and interest under the Note and the Mortgage Loan Note, which will be incurred with respect to such Individual Property as a result of the occurrence of any such Casualty or Condemnation, whichever the case may be, will be covered out of the insurance coverage referred to in Section 8.1(a)(iii) above and to the extent the related Manager carries such insurance, the applicable Manager acknowledges in writing that Mortgage Loan Borrower and Maryland Owner is entitled to receive such amounts from such insurance and that Manager will disburse the same to Mortgage Loan Borrower or Maryland Owner (as applicable) without qualification, the Award, or other funds of Borrower which shall be deposited by Borrower with Lender, to the extent not deposited with Mortgage Loan Lender pursuant to the Mortgage Loan Documents, prior to the disbursement by Lender of any Net Proceeds;
(G) Lender shall be satisfied that the Restoration will be completed on or before the earliest to occur of (1) four (4) months prior to the Maturity Date, (2) the earliest date required for such completion under the terms of any Leases, the applicable Management Agreement, the applicable Franchise Agreement (if any) or any Permitted Encumbrance affecting such Individual Property, (3) such time as may be required under applicable zoning law, ordinance, rule or regulation, or (4) the expiration of the insurance coverage referred to in Section 8.1(a)(iii);

(L) the Net Proceeds together with any cash or cash equivalent deposited by Borrower or Property Owners, as the case may be, with Lender are sufficient in Lender’s reasonable judgment to cover the cost of the Restoration.
Notwithstanding anything in this Section 8.4(b)(i) to the contrary, to the extent that a Marriott Management Agreement (or any other Management Agreement approved by Lender that contains similar provisions) specifically requires (and such requirement has not been waived for the benefit of Lender) that the Loan Documents contain a provision whereby Lender agrees that the Net Proceeds will be permitted to be used for Restoration of the applicable Individual Property managed by a Marriott Manager (the “Marriott Mandated Restoration”), Lender hereby agrees that for such Individual Properties subject to Marriott Mandated Restoration, Lender will permit the Net Proceeds to be used for Restoration to the extent that the other applicable provisions of this Section 8.4 are satisfied with respect to disbursement conditions or otherwise. If a Marriott Mandated Restoration is not applicable to an Individual Property, this paragraph shall not apply.
(ii) Subject to the terms and provisions of the Mortgage Loan Documents, in the case of casualty losses exceeding one million dollars ($1,000,000), the Net Proceeds shall be held by Lender until disbursements commence, and, until disbursed in accordance with the provisions of this Section 8.4, shall constitute additional security for the Debt and other obligations under the Loan Documents. The Net Proceeds shall be disbursed by Lender to, or as directed by, Borrower or Property Owners, as applicable, from time to time during the course of the Restoration, upon receipt of evidence satisfactory to Lender that (A) all the conditions precedent to such advance, including those set forth in Section 8.4(b)(i), have been satisfied, (B) all materials installed and
-154-
work and labor performed (except to the extent that they are to be paid for out of the requested disbursement) in connection with the related Restoration item have been paid for in full, and (C) there exist no notices of pendency, stop orders, mechanic’s or materialman’s liens or notices of intention to file same, or any other liens or encumbrances of any nature whatsoever on the related Individual Property which have not either been fully bonded to the satisfaction of Lender and discharged of record or in the alternative fully insured to the satisfaction of Lender by the title company issuing the Title Company Comfort Letters. Subject to the terms of the applicable Mortgage Loan Documents, in the event of a casualty loss of $1,000,000 or less, Net Proceeds shall be distributed to Borrower, and immediately thereafter by Borrower to Mezzanine 2 Borrower and by Mezzanine 2 Borrower to Mezzanine 3 Borrower and into the Working Capital Reserve.
(iii) All plans and specifications required in connection with the Restoration shall be subject to prior review and acceptance in all respects by Lender and by an independent consulting engineer selected by Lender, if retained by Lender in its sole discretion (the “Restoration Consultant”). Lender shall have the use of the plans and specifications and all permits, licenses and approvals required or obtained in connection with the Restoration. The identity of the contractors, subcontractors and materialmen engaged in the Restoration, as well as the contracts in excess of $500,000 under which they have been engaged, shall be subject to prior review and acceptance by Lender and the Restoration Consultant, if any. All reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred by Lender in connection with making the Net Proceeds available for the Restoration, including reasonable counsel fees and disbursements and the Restoration Consultant’s fees, if any, shall be paid by Borrower and Property Owners.
(iv) In no event shall Lender be obligated to make disbursements of the Net Proceeds in excess of an amount equal to the costs actually incurred from time to time for work in place as part of the Restoration, as certified by the Restoration Consultant, if any, minus the Restoration Retainage. The term “Restoration Retainage” shall mean an amount equal to ten percent (10%) of the costs actually incurred for work in place as part of the Restoration, as certified by the Restoration Consultant, if any, until the Restoration shall have been completed. The Restoration Retainage shall be reduced to five percent (5%) of the costs incurred upon receipt by Lender of satisfactory evidence that fifty percent (50%) of the Restoration has been completed. The Restoration Retainage shall in no event, and notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth above in this Section 8.4(b), be less than the amount actually held back by Borrower or Property Owners, as applicable, from contractors, subcontractors and materialmen engaged in the Restoration. The Restoration Retainage shall not be released until the Restoration Consultant certifies to Lender that the Restoration has been completed in accordance with the provisions of this Section 8.4(b) and that all approvals necessary for the re-occupancy and use of the related Individual Property have been obtained from all appropriate Governmental Authorities, and Lender receives evidence satisfactory to Lender that the costs of the Restoration have been paid in full or will be paid in full out of the Restoration Retainage; provided, however, that Lender will release the portion of the Restoration Retainage being held with respect to any contractor, subcontractor or materialman engaged in the Restoration as of the date upon which the Restoration Consultant certifies to Lender that
-155-
the contractor, subcontractor or materialman has satisfactorily completed all work and has supplied all materials in accordance with the provisions of the contractor’s, subcontractor’s or materialman’s contract, the contractor, subcontractor or materialman delivers the lien waivers and evidence of payment in full of all sums due to the contractor, subcontractor or materialman as may be reasonably requested by Lender. If required by Lender, the release of any such portion of the Restoration Retainage shall be approved by the surety company, if any, which has issued a payment or performance bond with respect to the contractor, subcontractor or materialman.
(v) Lender shall not be obligated to make disbursements of the Net Proceeds more frequently than once every calendar month.
(vi) If at any time the Net Proceeds or the undisbursed balance thereof shall not, in the reasonable opinion of Lender in consultation with the Restoration Consultant, be sufficient to pay in full the balance of the costs which are estimated by the Restoration Consultant to be incurred in connection with the completion of the Restoration, Borrower and/or Property Owners shall deposit the deficiency (the “Net Proceeds Deficiency”) with Lender before any further disbursement of the Net Proceeds shall be made (to the extent not deposited by Mortgage Loan Borrower or Maryland Owner with Mortgage Loan Lender). The Net Proceeds Deficiency deposited with Lender shall be held by Lender and shall be disbursed for costs actually incurred in connection with the Restoration on the same conditions applicable to the disbursement of the Net Proceeds, and until so disbursed pursuant to this Section 8.4(b) shall constitute additional security for the Debt and other obligations under the Loan Documents.
(vii) The excess, if any, of the Net Proceeds and the remaining balance, if any, of the Net Proceeds Deficiency deposited with Lender after the Restoration Consultant certifies to Lender that the Restoration has been completed in accordance with the provisions of this Section 8.4(b) and (in the case of Xxxxx Fargo Mortgage Loan Property) Section 8.4(b) of the Xxxxx Fargo Mortgage Loan Agreement, and the receipt by Lender of evidence satisfactory to Lender that all costs incurred in connection with the Restoration have been paid in full, shall be applied to the repayment of the Debt.
Notwithstanding anything in this Section 8.4 to the contrary, if Lender, in its sole discretion, elects not to hire a Restoration Consultant, Borrower shall provide an Officer’s Certificate that certifies to such matters to which a Restoration Consultant would otherwise certify pursuant to the provisions of this Section 8.4.
(c) All Net Proceeds not required to be made available for the Restoration may be retained and applied toward the payment of the Debt.
(d) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, in the event that the Property is being restored by Mortgage Loan Borrower or Maryland Owner pursuant to the Mortgage Loan Documents, Lender shall agree to the release of the Net Proceeds for Restoration of the Property pursuant to the terms and provisions of the Mortgage Loan Documents, subject to Lender’s rights to receive and approve in its discretion all deliverables set forth in this Section 8.4, provided, that, Lender shall have no further approval rights if the Mortgage Loan has not
-156-
been satisfied and Xxxxx Fargo Mortgage Loan Lender has approved the matters requiring Lender approval in Sections 8.4(b)(i)(E), (F), (J) and (K) and Section 8.4(b)(iii) of the Xxxxx Fargo Mortgage Loan Agreement and any CIGNA Mortgage Lender has approved any similar matters in the related CIGNA Mortgage Documents. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, in the event that the Property is being restored by Mortgage Loan Borrower or Maryland Owner pursuant to the Mortgage Loan Documents and the Business Insurance Proceeds are being held and disbursed by Mortgage Loan Lender in accordance with (i) in the case of Xxxxx Fargo Mortgage Loan Property, Section 8.4(e) of the Xxxxx Fargo Mortgage Loan Agreement or (ii) in the case of CIGNA Mortgage Loan Property, the restoration provisions of the applicable Mortgage Loan Documents, Lender shall agree to use of the Business Insurance Proceeds pursuant to the terms and provisions of the Mortgage Loan Documents, subject to Lender’s rights to receive and approve in its discretion any deliverables as well as any calculations required under clauses (x) and (y) of Section 8.4(e) below.
(e) Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, Insurance Proceeds exceeding one million dollars ($1,000,000) from the Policies required to be maintained by Borrower pursuant to Section 8.1(a)(iii) (the “Business Insurance Proceeds”) shall (i) subject to the rights of Mortgage Loan Lender pursuant to (A) in the case of Xxxxx Fargo Mortgage Loan Property, Section 8.4(e) of the Xxxxx Fargo Mortgage Loan Agreement or (B) in the case of CIGNA Mortgage Loan Property the restoration provisions of the applicable Mortgage Loan Documents, (ii) be controlled by Lender at all times and shall constitute additional security for the Debt and other obligations under the Loan Documents, (iii) not be subject to the provisions of Section 8.4(c) and (iv) subject to the provisions of this clause (e), be applied in the same manner that revenue and receipts from the Property are applied pursuant to Article X of the Xxxxx Fargo Mortgage Loan Agreement and Article X hereof. In the event that the Business Insurance Proceeds are paid (x) in one lump sum in advance, Lender shall hold such Business Insurance Proceeds in a segregated interest-bearing escrow account, which shall be an Eligible Account pledged to Lender and Lender shall estimate, in Lender’s reasonable discretion, the number of months required for Property Owners to complete the Restoration caused by the Casualty or Condemnation, shall divide the aggregate Business Insurance Proceeds by such number of months, and shall disburse from such bank account each month during the performance of such Restoration such monthly installment of said Business Insurance Proceeds or (y) in a lump sum for a specified number of months in advance, Lender shall hold such Business Insurance Proceeds in a segregated interest-bearing escrow account, which shall be an Eligible Account pledged to Lender and Lender shall divide the aggregate Business Insurance Proceeds by the number of months for which the insurer has paid the Business Insurance Proceeds, and shall disburse from such bank account each month during the performance of such Restoration such monthly installment of said Business Insurance Proceeds (in the case of (x) or (y), such amount, the “Monthly BI Amount”). Lender shall deposit the Monthly BI Amount into the Mezzanine Cash Management Account on each Payment Date during the Restoration. If any Business Insurance Proceeds are received by Borrower, Property Owner or Manager, such Business Insurance Proceeds shall be received in trust for Lender, shall be segregated from other funds of Borrower, Property Owner or Manager, as the case may be, and shall be applied or paid to Lender in accordance with the terms of this Article VIII. Nothing herein contained shall be deemed to relieve Borrower of its obligations to pay the obligations secured by the Loan Documents on the respective dates of payment provided for in the Note, this Agreement and the other Loan Documents except to the extent such amounts are actually paid out of the proceeds of
-157-
such Business Insurance Proceeds. Subject to the terms of the applicable Mortgage Loan Documents, Business Insurance Proceeds of $1,000,000 or less shall be distributed to Borrower and immediately thereafter by Borrower to Mezzanine 2 Borrower and by Mezzanine 2 Borrower to Mezzanine 3 Borrower and into the Working Capital Reserve.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, if at any time and for any reason (including the satisfaction of the applicable Mortgage Loan), Mortgage Loan Borrower and Maryland Owner are no longer maintaining any of the Mortgage Loan Reserve Funds or Mortgage Loan Reserve Accounts in accordance with the terms of the related Mortgage Loan Documents (other than the CIGNA Princeton Debt Service Reserve or any other escrow or reserve specifically for the payment of debt service under a CIGNA Mortgage Loan) (i) Borrower shall be required to promptly establish and maintain with Lender and for the benefit of Lender reserves in replacement and substitution thereof, which substitute reserves shall be subject to all of the same terms and conditions applicable under the Mortgage Loan Documents relating to the Mortgage Loan with respect to the Mortgage Loan Reserve Funds being replaced (including Articles IX and X of the Xxxxx Fargo Mortgage Loan Agreement, and Borrower shall, and shall cause Mortgage Loan Borrower and Maryland Owner to, execute a cash management agreement in form and substance reasonably acceptable to Lender) and (ii) to the extent not prohibited by Mortgage Loan Lender under the Mortgage Loan Documents, Borrower shall or shall cause Mortgage Loan Lender to remit to Lender any funds from Mortgage Loan Reserve Funds that were remaining in such reserves at the time of the termination of such reserves to be held as Reserve Funds for the purpose of funding the equivalent substitute reserves.
(b) In the event the Borrower Residual Account is no longer maintained under the Mezzanine 3 Loan Agreement, and a substitute or replacement for such account is not maintained under the terms of the Mezzanine 2 Loan Agreement, then Lender shall cause Borrower to establish and to maintain a substitute or replacement for the Borrower Residual Account (including the Working Capital Reserve, if applicable) under this Agreement on substantially the same terms and conditions as the Mezzanine 3 Loan Agreement.
Section 9.2 CIGNA Property Capital Replacement Reserve.
(a) On an ongoing basis throughout the term of the Loan, Borrower shall cause CIGNA Mortgage Loan Borrower to make, or to cause the Manager to make, Capital Replacements necessary to keep each CIGNA Mortgage Loan Property in good order and repair
-158-
and in a good marketable condition, to prevent deterioration of the applicable CIGNA Mortgage Loan Property, and to keep each CIGNA Mortgage Loan Property in compliance with any Management Agreement and Franchise Agreement, all as evidenced to Lender’s reasonable satisfaction. Borrower shall cause CIGNA Mortgage Loan Borrower to complete or to cause the Manager to complete all Capital Replacements in a good and workmanlike manner as soon as commercially reasonable after commencing each such Capital Replacement.
(b) Borrower shall establish on the Closing Date an interest bearing account (which may be a sub-account of the Mezzanine Cash Management Account or may be a commingled account with one or more of the other Reserve Accounts) (the “CIGNA Property Capital Replacement Reserve Account”) with Lender, Cash Management Bank or Lender’s agent to pay for Capital Replacements at the CIGNA Mortgage Loan Properties during the calendar year and which are set forth in the Annual Budget. As of the Closing Date, there is $526,000 in the CIGNA Property FF&E Replacement Reserve Account. Borrower shall deposit, on each Payment Date during the term of the Loan, an amount (the “CIGNA Property Capital Replacement Reserve Monthly Deposit”) equal to 1.75% of the monthly Operating Income for each CIGNA Mortgage Loan Property for the calendar month in which such Payment Date occurs as provided in the Annual Budget. In addition, Borrower shall deposit (i) on or before each Payment Date during the term of the Loan an amount equal to one-twelfth (1/12th) of the aggregate costs and expenses of all Additional Budgeted Capital Replacements that will be payable during the calendar year in which such Payment Date occurs with respect to each CIGNA Mortgage Loan Property (the “Additional Budgeted Capital Replacement Monthly Deposit”) and (ii) within the time period required by the applicable Franchisor under its Franchise Agreement an amount sufficient to pay the aggregate costs and expenses of all Additional Franchisor Required Capital Replacements when required by such Franchisor. In addition, on each Payment Date occurring in January, April, July, and October during the term of the Loan (each, a “Reconciliation Date”), Borrower shall deposit an amount (if positive) equal to the difference of (y) one and seventy-five one hundredths percent (1.75%) of the monthly Operating Income for each CIGNA Mortgage Loan Property as set forth in the monthly operating statements actually delivered by Borrower prior to such Reconciliation Date under Section 5.11 for each CIGNA Mortgage Loan Property, less (z) the sum of all CIGNA Property Capital Replacement Reserve Monthly Deposits that have been made for the months covered by such monthly operating statements actually delivered by Borrower prior to such Reconciliation Date (such positive difference, if any, the “CIGNA Property Capital Replacement Reserve Reconciliation Deposit”). Lender shall give Borrower written notice prior to the applicable Reconciliation Date of any CIGNA Property Capital Replacement Reserve Reconciliation Deposit which is due and payable on such date. Any CIGNA Property Capital Replacement Reserve Reconciliation Deposit shall be made by Borrower from funds in the Borrower Residual Account (including the Working Capital Reserve), and shall not be allocated from funds in the Mezzanine Cash Management Account pursuant to Section 10.2(b). If as of any Reconciliation Date, the amounts in clause (z) of the immediately preceding sentence are greater than the amounts in clause (y) of the immediately preceding sentence, that difference (the “CIGNA Property Capital Replacement Reserve Monthly Deposit Credit”) will be credited against future CIGNA Property Capital Replacement Reserve Monthly Deposits and Additional Budgeted Capital Replacement Monthly Deposits next due hereunder, dollar-for-dollar, until the aggregate amount of the credits against such CIGNA Property Capital Replacement Reserve Monthly Deposits and/or Additional Budgeted Capital Replacement Monthly Deposits equals the amount
-159-
of such CIGNA Property Capital Replacement Reserve Monthly Deposit Credit. The CIGNA Property Capital Replacement Reserve Monthly Deposit, the Additional Budgeted Capital Replacement Monthly Deposit, any funds delivered to the CIGNA Property Capital Replacement Reserve Account to pay the costs and expenses of any Additional Franchisor Required Capital Replacements, any CIGNA Property Capital Replacement Reserve Reconciliation Deposits, and any other funds in the CIGNA Property Capital Replacement Reserve Account, together with any interest accrued thereon, are referred to collectively herein as the “CIGNA Property Capital Replacement Reserve Funds”. Promptly following any written request from Lender, Borrower shall deliver to Lender written evidence reasonably acceptable to Lender regarding any Additional Franchisor Required Capital Replacements, and the costs and expenses thereof, and any Additional Budgeted Capital Replacements, and the costs and expenses thereof.
(c) The insufficiency of any balance in the CIGNA Property Capital Replacement Reserve Account shall not relieve Borrower from its obligation under this Agreement to cause CIGNA Mortgage Loan Borrower to fulfill all preservation and maintenance covenants in the CIGNA Mortgage Loan Documents or in Section 9.2(a) hereof.
(d) If any Property Release occurs, and provided no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, Lender shall credit against future CIGNA Property Capital Replacement Reserve Monthly Deposits and Additional Budgeted Capital Replacement Monthly Deposits due under Section 9.2(b), that portion of the balance, if any, of the CIGNA Property Capital Replacement Reserve Funds attributable to the CIGNA Mortgage Loan Property that is the subject of the Property Release (or Borrower may elect upon written notice to Lender to utilize such portion of the balance as a Voluntary Prepayment hereunder).
Section 9.3 CIGNA Property FF&E Replacement Reserve.
(a) On an ongoing basis throughout the term of the Loan, Borrower shall cause CIGNA Mortgage Loan Borrower to make, or cause Manager to make, FF&E Replacements necessary to keep each CIGNA Mortgage Loan Property in good order and repair and in a good marketable condition and to prevent deterioration of the applicable CIGNA Mortgage Loan Property and to keep each CIGNA Mortgage Loan Property in compliance with any Management Agreement, Franchise Agreement and the applicable CIGNA Mortgage Loan Documents, all as evidenced to Lender’s reasonable satisfaction. Borrower shall cause Mortgage Loan Borrower and Maryland Owner to complete all such FF&E Replacements in a good and workmanlike manner as soon as commercially reasonable after commencing to make each such Replacement.
(b) Borrower shall establish on the Closing Date an interest bearing account (which may be a sub-account of the Mezzanine Cash Management Account or may be a commingled account with one or more of the other Reserve Accounts) (the “CIGNA Property FF&E Replacement Reserve Account”) with Lender, Cash Management Bank or Lender’s agent to fund the FF&E Replacements at each CIGNA Mortgage Loan Property (the “CIGNA Property FF&E Replacement Reserve Account” collectively with the CIGNA Property Capital Replacement Reserve Account the “CIGNA Property Replacement Reserve Accounts” and each individually as a “CIGNA Property Replacement Reserve Account”). Borrower shall deposit, on or before each Payment Date during the term of the Loan, an amount (the “CIGNA Property
-160-
FF&E Replacement Reserve Monthly Deposit”) equal to the difference between (A) four percent (4%) of the monthly Operating Income for each CIGNA Mortgage Loan Property for the calendar month in which such Payment Date occurs as provided in the Annual Budget, less (B) the sum of (i) the amount actually deposited into any reserve account relating to F&E Replacements with respect to each CIGNA Mortgage Loan Property that are maintained by Managers that are not Affiliated Managers under the respective Management Agreements during such calendar month and (ii) the amount actually deposited into any reserve account relating to FF&E Replacements that are maintained by CIGNA Mortgage Lender. Borrower shall also deposit within the time period required by a Franchisor under its Franchise Agreement the difference between (1) an amount sufficient to pay the aggregate costs and expenses of all Additional Franchisor Required FF&E Replacements when required by such Franchisor, less (2) the amount actually deposited into the reserve accounts relating to the aggregate costs and expenses of all Additional Franchisor Required FF&E Replacements maintained by the Managers that are not Affiliated Managers under the respective Management Agreements (the “Manager Additional FF&E Escrows”).

Lender shall give Borrower written notice prior to the applicable Reconciliation Date of any CIGNA Property FF&E Replacement Reserve Reconciliation Deposit which is due and payable on such date. Any CIGNA Property FF&E Replacement Reserve Reconciliation Deposit shall be made by Borrower from funds in the Borrower Residual Account (including the Working Capital Reserve) and shall not be allocated from funds in the Mezzanine Cash Management Account pursuant to Section 10.2(b). If as of any Reconciliation Date, the amounts in clause (z) of the immediately preceding sentence are greater than the amounts in clause (y) of the immediately preceding sentence, that difference (the “CIGNA Property FF&E Replacement Reserve Monthly Deposit Credit”) will be credited against future CIGNA Property FF&E Replacement Reserve Monthly Deposits next due hereunder, dollar-for-dollar, until the aggregate amount of the credits against such CIGNA Property FF&E Replacement Reserve Monthly Deposits equals the amount of such CIGNA Property FF&E Replacement Reserve Monthly Deposit Credit. The CIGNA Property FF&E Replacement Reserve Monthly Deposit, any funds delivered to the CIGNA Property FF&E Replacement Reserve Account to pay the costs and expenses of any Additional Franchisor Required FF&E Replacements, any CIGNA Property FF&E Replacement Reserve Reconciliation Deposits, and any other funds in the CIGNA Property FF&E Replacement Reserve Account, and any interest accrued thereon, are referred to herein as the “CIGNA Property FF&E Replacement Reserve Funds”; each of the CIGNA Property FF&E Replacement Reserve Funds and the CIGNA Property Capital Replacement Reserve Funds are sometimes each referred to herein as “CIGNA Property Replacement Reserve Funds”). Promptly following any written request from Lender, Borrower shall deliver to Lender written evidence reasonably acceptable to Lender regarding any Additional Franchisor Required FF&E Replacements and the costs and expenses thereof, and any reserves maintained by any Managers regarding FF&E Replacements, including the Manager Additional FF&E Escrows.
-161-

Section 9.4 CIGNA Property Ground Rent Reserve.
(a) Borrower shall establish on the Closing Date an interest bearing account (which may be a sub-account of the Mezzanine Cash Management Account or may be a commingled account with one or more of the other Reserve Accounts) (the “CIGNA Property Ground Rent Reserve Account”) with Lender, Cash Management Bank or Lender’s agent to pay ground rents under any Ground Lease relating to a CIGNA Mortgage Loan Property. Borrower shall deposit into the CIGNA Property Ground Rent Reserve Account on or before each Payment Date during the term of the Loan, an amount equal to (such amount, the “CIGNA Property Ground Rent Monthly Deposit”; such payments with respect to each Ground Lease with respect to a CIGNA Mortgage Loan Property, are referred to as the “CIGNA Property Ground Rent Reserve Funds”) one-twelfth (1/12) of the annual rents (and other amounts) due under each such Ground Lease, or such higher amount reasonably determined by Lender to be necessary in order to pay all installments of rent (and other amounts) as and when due under each such Ground Lease, but excluding any annual rents or other amounts under any Ground Lease to the extent actually escrowed for, and paid directly, by Manager pursuant to the requirements of the related Management Agreement (“Manager Ground Rent Escrows”). Promptly following any written request from Lender, Borrower shall deliver to Lender written evidence reasonably acceptable to Lender regarding (y) the amounts to be deposited in the CIGNA Property Ground Rent Reserve Account and (z) any Manager Ground Rent Escrows.
(b) Lender will apply the CIGNA Property Ground Rent Reserve Funds to payments of ground rent required to be made by CIGNA Mortgage Loan Borrower under each Ground Lease of a CIGNA Mortgage Loan Property as the same become due, or to reimburse Borrower for such amounts upon presentation of evidence of payment reasonably satisfactory to Lender. Borrower shall direct Lender in writing as to the amount of each monthly payment that needs to be paid to each applicable Ground Lessor. In making any payment relating to the CIGNA Property Ground Rent Reserve Funds, Lender may do so in good faith according to any xxxx or statement procured from the Ground Lessor under each Ground Lease with respect to a CIGNA Mortgage Loan Property, without inquiry into the accuracy of such xxxx or statement or estimate or into the validity of any claim by such Ground Lessor. If at any time Lender reasonably determines that the portion of the CIGNA Property Ground Rent Reserve Funds allocable to any Ground Lease of a CIGNA Mortgage Loan Property is not or will not be sufficient to pay the ground rent pursuant to each Ground Lease of a CIGNA Mortgage Loan Property next coming due, Lender shall notify Borrower of such determination and Borrower shall increase the amount of the CIGNA Property Ground Rent Monthly Deposit by the amount
-162-
that Lender reasonably estimates is sufficient to make up the deficiency at least thirty (30) days prior to delinquency of the ground rent due under each Ground Lease of a CIGNA Mortgage Loan Property.
(c) If any Property Release occurs, and provided no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, Borrower may direct Lender to either (i) cause to be applied in the order and manner described in Section 10.2(b) that portion of the balance, if any, of the CIGNA Property Ground Rent Reserve Funds attributable to the CIGNA Mortgage Loan Property that is the subject of the Property Release or (ii) utilize such portion of the balance as a Voluntary Payment hereunder.
Section 9.5 CIGNA Property Required Work.
(a) Borrower shall cause each CIGNA Mortgage Loan Borrower to diligently pursue all Capital Replacements and FF&E Replacements at any CIGNA Mortgage Loan Property (collectively, the “CIGNA Property Required Work”) to completion in accordance with the terms of Section 9.2(a), Section 9.3(a), and the following requirements:
(b) With the exception of the contracts set forth on Schedule XVI, Lender reserves the right, at its option upon notice to Borrower, to approve on behalf of CIGNA Mortgage Loan Borrower, all contracts or work orders with materialmen, mechanics, suppliers, subcontractors, contractors or other parties providing labor or materials in connection with the CIGNA Property Required Work to the extent such contracts or work orders exceed $750,000 but specifically excluding “soft cost” contracts, including project managers, architects, designers, and purchasing agents. Borrower shall submit any request for approval under this Section 9.5(b) in writing and with a legend in bold letters stating “REQUEST FOR APPROVAL. FAILURE TO RESPOND MAY RESULT IN DEEMED APPROVAL”. If Lender fails to respond to such request within five (5) Business Days after Lender’s receipt thereof, then Borrower shall submit a second request to Lender for approval, which request shall again include all information reasonably required by Lender in order to adequately review such request and contain a legend in bold letters stating “REQUEST FOR APPROVAL. REQUEST DEEMED APPROVED IF NO RESPONSE WITHIN FIVE (5) BUSINESS DAYS”. If Lender shall fail to approve, disapprove or otherwise respond to such second request for approval within the applicable five (5) Business Days after Lender’s receipt thereof and with all information reasonably required by Lender in order to adequately review such request, then Lender shall be deemed to have approved such contract or work order. Upon Lender’s request, Borrower shall cause CIGNA Mortgage Loan Borrower to assign any such contract to Lender.
(c) In the event Lender determines in its reasonable discretion that any CIGNA Property Required Work is not being or has not been performed in a workmanlike or timely manner, Lender shall have the option to withhold disbursement for such unsatisfactory CIGNA Property Required Work and to proceed under existing contracts or to contract with third parties to complete such CIGNA Property Required Work and to apply the CIGNA Property Capital Replacement Reserve Funds or the CIGNA Property FF&E Replacement Reserve Funds, as applicable, toward the labor and materials necessary to complete such CIGNA Property Required Work, upon notice to Borrower and Manager and, if an Event of Default then exists, to exercise any and all other remedies available to Lender upon an Event of Default hereunder.

(d) In order to facilitate Lender’s completion of the CIGNA Property Required Work, Borrower shall cause the applicable CIGNA Mortgage Loan Borrower to enter onto the applicable Individual Property and perform any and all work and labor necessary to complete the CIGNA Property Required Work and/or employ security personnel to protect each CIGNA Mortgage Loan Property from damage. All sums so expended by Lender, to the extent not from the CIGNA Property Capital Replacement Reserve Account or CIGNA Property FF&E Replacement Reserve Account, shall be deemed to have been advanced under the Loan to Borrower and secured by the Pledge Agreement and the other Loan Documents. For this purpose Borrower hereby constitutes and appoints, and except to the extent prohibited under the terms of the applicable CIGNA Mortgage Loan Documents, shall cause each CIGNA Mortgage Loan Borrower to constitute and appoint, Lender its true and lawful attorney-in-fact with full power of substitution to complete or undertake the CIGNA Property Required Work in the name of Borrower (or CIGNA Mortgage Loan Borrower, as applicable) upon Borrower’s (or the applicable CIGNA Mortgage Loan Borrower’s), failure to do so in a workmanlike and timely manner. Such power of attorney shall be deemed to be a power coupled with an interest and cannot be revoked. Borrower empowers, and shall cause CIGNA Mortgage Loan Borrower to empower, said attorney-in-fact as follows: (i) to use any of the CIGNA Property Capital Replacement Reserve Funds and CIGNA Property FF&E Replacement Reserve Funds for the purpose of making or completing the CIGNA Property Required Work; (ii) to make such additions, changes and corrections to the CIGNA Property Required Work as shall be necessary or desirable to complete the CIGNA Property Required Work; (iii) to employ such contractors, subcontractors, agents, architects and inspectors as shall be required for such purposes; (iv) to pay, settle or compromise all existing bills and claims which are or may become Liens against such Individual Property, or as may be necessary or desirable for the completion of the CIGNA Property Required Work, or for clearance of title; (v) to execute all applications and certificates in the name of Borrower, and to cause Borrower to execute all applications and certificates on behalf of the applicable CIGNA Mortgage Loan Borrower, which may be required by any of the contract documents; (vi) to prosecute and defend all actions or proceedings in connection with any CIGNA Mortgage Loan Property or the rehabilitation and repair of any such Individual Property; and (vii) to do any and every act which Borrower (or CIGNA Mortgage Loan Borrower) might do on its own behalf to fulfill the terms of this Agreement.
(e) Nothing in this Section 9.5 shall: (i) make Lender responsible for making or completing the CIGNA Property Required Work; (ii) require Lender to expend funds in addition to the CIGNA Property Capital Replacement Reserve Funds for Capital Replacements at any CIGNA Mortgage Loan Property or the CIGNA Property FF&E Replacement Reserve Funds for FF&E Replacements at any CIGNA Mortgage Loan Property; (iii) obligate Lender to proceed with the CIGNA Property Required Work; or (iv) obligate Lender to demand from Borrower additional sums to make or complete any CIGNA Property Required Work.
(f) Borrower shall cause each CIGNA Mortgage Loan Borrower to permit Lender and Lender’s agents and representatives (including Lender’s engineer, architect, or inspector) or third parties performing CIGNA Property Required Work pursuant to this Section 9.5 to enter onto the applicable CIGNA Mortgage Loan Property during normal business hours
-164-
(subject to the rights of Tenants under their Leases, to the terms of any Management Agreements, to the reasonable rights of hotel guests and the terms of the applicable CIGNA Mortgage Loan Documents) to inspect the progress of any CIGNA Property Required Work and all materials being used in connection therewith, to examine all plans and shop drawings relating to such CIGNA Property Required Work which are or may be kept at such CIGNA Mortgage Loan Property, and complete any CIGNA Property Required Work made pursuant to this Section 9.5. Borrower shall cause, and shall cause CIGNA Mortgage Loan Borrower to cause, all contractors and subcontractors to cooperate with Lender and Lender’s representatives or such other persons described above in connection with inspections described in this Section 9.5 or the completion of CIGNA Property Required Work.
(g) Lender may, to the extent any CIGNA Property Required Work would reasonably require an inspection of any CIGNA Mortgage Loan Property, inspect such CIGNA Mortgage Loan Property at Borrower’s expense, at reasonable times and upon reasonable notice, prior to making a disbursement of the CIGNA Property Replacement Reserve Funds in order to verify completion of the CIGNA Property Required Work for which reimbursement is sought. Borrower shall pay Lender a reasonable inspection fee not exceeding $500 for each such inspection. Lender may require that such inspection be conducted by an appropriate independent qualified professional selected by Lender and/or may require a copy of a certificate of completion by an independent qualified professional acceptable to Lender prior to the disbursement of the CIGNA Property Capital Replacement Reserve Funds or CIGNA Property FF&E Replacement Reserve Funds, as applicable. Borrower shall, or cause CIGNA Mortgage Loan Borrower to pay, the expense of the inspection as required hereunder, whether such inspection is conducted by Lender or by an independent qualified professional.
(h) The CIGNA Property Required Work and all materials, equipment, fixtures, or any other item comprising a part of any CIGNA Property Required Work shall be constructed, installed or completed, as applicable, free and clear of all mechanic’s, materialman’s or other Liens (except for Permitted Encumbrances).
(i) Before any disbursement of the CIGNA Property Replacement Reserve Funds in excess of $250,000 for any Individual Property, Lender may require Borrower to provide Lender, or cause the applicable CIGNA Mortgage Loan Borrower to provide Lender, with a search of title to the CIGNA Mortgage Loan Property effective to the date of the disbursement, which search shows that no mechanic’s or materialmen’s or other Liens of any nature have been placed against the related CIGNA Mortgage Loan Property since the date of recordation of the Mortgage and that title to the related CIGNA Mortgage Loan Property is free and clear of all Liens (except for Permitted Encumbrances).
(j) All CIGNA Property Required Work shall comply with all Legal Requirements and applicable insurance requirements including applicable building codes, special use permits, environmental regulations, and requirements of insurance underwriters.
(k) Except to the extent prohibited under the CIGNA Mortgage Loan Documents, and subject to the rights of CIGNA Mortgage Lender thereunder, Borrower hereby assigns, and shall cause CIGNA Mortgage Loan Borrower to assign, to Lender all rights and claims CIGNA Mortgage Loan Borrower may have against all Persons supplying labor or
-165-
materials in connection with the CIGNA Property Required Work; provided, however, that Lender may not pursue any such rights or claims unless an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing. The obligations of Borrower under this Section 9.5 shall be subject to the terms of the CIGNA Mortgage Loan Documents.
(l) The rights of Lender under this Section 9.5 shall be subject to the terms of the CIGNA Mortgage Loan Documents and the rights of CIGNA Mortgage Lender thereunder. If the terms of the applicable CIGNA Mortgage Loan Documents prohibit the performance by Borrower of its obligations hereunder, or the exercise by Lender of any of its rights under this Section 9.5, at Lender’s request, Borrower shall use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain such consent from CIGNA Mortgage Lender.
Section 9.6 Release of Replacement Reserve Funds.
(a) Upon written request from Borrower from time to time and the satisfaction of the requirements set forth in this Agreement, Lender shall disburse CIGNA Property Capital Replacement Reserve Funds, and other Reserve Funds, in order to pay the actual costs of CIGNA Property Required Work. For the avoidance of doubt, Lender acknowledges that (i) CIGNA Property Capital Replacement Reserve Funds may be used to pay the costs of Capital Replacements or FF&E Replacements at the CIGNA Mortgage Loan Properties, and that CIGNA Property FF&E Replacement Reserve Funds may be used to pay the costs of Capital Replacements or FF&E Replacements at the CIGNA Mortgage Loan Properties, provided all conditions to the release of any such funds set forth in this Agreement are fully satisfied, and (ii) disbursements of CIGNA Property Replacement Reserve Funds, and other Reserve Funds, in order to pay the actual costs of CIGNA Property Required Work as provided in this Section 9.6 may be reimbursements to Borrower or CIGNA Mortgage Loan Borrower for amounts previously expended by Borrower or by CIGNA Mortgage Loan Borrower from the Working Capital Reserve for such CIGNA Property Required Work, provided all conditions to the release of any such funds set forth in this Agreement are fully satisfied.
(b) Each request for disbursement from either of the CIGNA Property Replacement Reserve Accounts, or other CIGNA Property Reserve Accounts which may be drawn upon by Borrower for the payment of Capital Replacements or FF&E Replacements at the CIGNA Mortgage Loan Properties pursuant to the express terms of this Agreement, shall be on a form provided or approved by Lender and shall (i) include copies of invoices for all items or materials purchased and all labor or services provided; (ii) specify to Lender’s reasonable satisfaction (A) the CIGNA Property Required Work for which the disbursement is requested, the line item(s) in the Annual Budget referencing same (if applicable), and the specific Reserve Account from which Borrower is requesting disbursement, (B) the quantity and price of each item purchased, if the CIGNA Property Required Work includes the purchase or replacement of specific items, (C) the price of all materials (grouped by type or category) used in any CIGNA Property Required Work other than the purchase or replacement of specific items, (D) the cost of all contracted labor or other services applicable to each CIGNA Property Required Work for which such request for disbursement is made; and (E) the identity of each Person to which disbursement is being requested; and (iii) certify to Lender’s reasonable satisfaction that (A) reimbursement for the applicable CIGNA Property Required Work from the applicable Reserve Account is permitted under the terms of the Management Agreement and Franchise Agreement

Except as provided in Section 9.6(d), each request for disbursement shall be made only after completion of the applicable CIGNA Property Required Work (or the portion thereof completed in accordance with Section 9.6(d)), as applicable, for which disbursement is requested. Borrower shall provide Lender evidence satisfactory to Lender in its reasonable judgment of such completion or performance. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event shall Lender be required to disburse CIGNA Property Reserve Funds under this Section 9.5 to pay the cost of any work or items (y) not constituting CIGNA Property Required Work, or (z) not approved by Lender in the Annual Budget, or otherwise previously approved by Lender in writing.
(c) CIGNA Mortgage Loan Borrower and Maryland Owner shall pay all invoices in connection with the CIGNA Property Required Work with respect to which a disbursement is requested prior to submitting such request for disbursement from the applicable CIGNA Property Reserve Accounts or, at the request of CIGNA Mortgage Loan Borrower and Maryland Owner, Lender will issue joint checks, payable to CIGNA Mortgage Loan Borrower or Maryland Owner and the contractor, supplier, materialman, mechanic, subcontractor or other party to whom payment is due in connection with the CIGNA Property Required Work. In the case of payments made by joint check, Lender may require a waiver of lien (to the extent applicable Legal Requirements permit an advance waiver of lien) from each Person receiving payment prior to Lender’s disbursement of funds for the payment of Capital Replacements or FF&E Replacements at the CIGNA Mortgage Loan Properties. In addition, as a condition to any disbursement, Lender may require CIGNA Mortgage Loan Borrower and Maryland Owner to obtain from each contractor, supplier, materialman, mechanic or subcontractor who receives payment in an amount equal to or greater than $50,000 for completion of its work or delivery of its materials, lien waivers (to the extent applicable Legal Requirements permit an advance waiver of lien) or, in the event that such advance lien waivers are not obtainable, conditional lien waivers, which conditional lien waivers shall be subject only to the receipt of the funds then being disbursed. Any lien waiver delivered hereunder shall conform to all Legal Requirements and shall cover all work performed and materials supplied (including equipment and fixtures) for the related Individual Property by that contractor, supplier, subcontractor, mechanic or materialman through the date covered by the current disbursement request (or, in the event that payment to such contractor, supplier, subcontractor, mechanic or materialmen is to be made by a joint check, the release of lien shall be effective through the date covered by the previous request for release of funds for the payment of costs regarding Capital Replacements or FF&E Replacements at the CIGNA Mortgage Loan Properties).
(d) If any contractor or subcontractor performing such CIGNA Property Required Work requires an advance periodic payment pursuant to the terms of a written contract, a request for disbursement from the CIGNA Property Replacement Reserve Accounts may be made for such payment after completion of a portion of the work under such contract, provided (i) the contractor or subcontractor is not an Affiliate of CIGNA Mortgage Loan Borrower or

Manager, (ii) such contract requires a deposit payment upon completion of such portion of work, (iii) the materials for which the request is made with respect to a partial payment are on site at the related Individual Property and are properly secured or have been installed in the related Individual Property, (iv) all other conditions in this Agreement for disbursement have been satisfied, and (v) funds remaining in the applicable CIGNA Property Replacement Reserve Account are, in Lender’s judgment, sufficient to complete the applicable CIGNA Property Required Work.
(e) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 9.6, neither Borrower, nor CIGNA Mortgage Loan Borrower nor Maryland Owner shall make a request for, nor shall Lender have any obligation to make, (i) any disbursement for Capital Replacements (whether from one or multiple Reserve Accounts that may be used to fund Capital Replacements as explicitly set forth herein) (A) more frequently than once in any calendar month, or (B) in any amount less than $100,000 (except in connection with the final disbursement from any such Reserve Account) or (ii) any disbursement for FF&E Replacements (whether from one or multiple Reserve Accounts that may be used to fund FF&E Replacements as explicitly set forth herein) (A) more frequently than once in any calendar month, or (B) in any amount less than $100,000 (except in connection with the final disbursement from any such Reserve Account). Without limitation, Lender may accept or reject, in its sole and absolute discretion, any request by Borrower for any disbursements for Capital Replacements or FF&E Replacements in excess of once per month as described in the immediately preceding sentence.
(f) Lender’s disbursement of any CIGNA Property Replacement Reserve Funds or other acknowledgment of completion of any CIGNA Property Required Work in a manner satisfactory to Lender shall not be deemed a certification or warranty by Lender to any Person that the CIGNA Property Required Work has been completed in accordance with Legal Requirements.
(g) The rights of Lender under this Section 9.6 shall be subject and subordinate to the rights of CIGNA Mortgage Lender under the terms of the CIGNA Mortgage Loan Documents. If the terms of the applicable CIGNA Mortgage Loan Documents prohibit the performance by Borrower of its obligations hereunder, or the exercise by Lender of any of its rights under this Section 9.6, at Lender’s request, Borrower shall use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain such consent from CIGNA Mortgage Lender.
Section 9.7 CIGNA Property Tax and Insurance Reserve.
(a) Borrower shall establish on the Closing Date an interest bearing account (which may be a sub-account of the Mezzanine Cash Management Account or may be a commingled account with one or more of the other Reserve Accounts) (the “CIGNA Property Tax and Insurance Reserve Account”) with Lender, Cash Management Bank or Lender’s agent to pay Taxes and Insurance Premiums with respect to the CIGNA Mortgage Loan Properties as required pursuant to Section 5.4 and Section 8.1 hereof. Borrower shall deposit into the Tax and Insurance Reserve Account on or before each Payment Date (a) one-twelfth (1/12) of the Taxes with respect to each CIGNA Mortgage Loan Property that Lender estimates will be payable during the next ensuing twelve (12) months or such higher amount necessary to accumulate with Lender sufficient funds to pay all such Taxes at the CIGNA Mortgage Loan Properties at least
-168-
thirty (30) days prior to the earlier of (i) the date that the same will become delinquent and (ii) the date that additional charges or interest will accrue due to the non-payment thereof, and (b) (i) if an Event of Default exists, (ii) if any CIGNA Mortgage Loan Borrower fails to maintain insurance pursuant to a blanket insurance policy acceptable to Lender in accordance with the requirements of this Agreement or (iii) if a Manager fails to provide the Policies for any CIGNA Mortgage Loan Property or fails to escrow for, or pay directly, Insurance Premiums with respect to any CIGNA Mortgage Loan Property pursuant to the requirements of the related Management Agreement, one-twelfth (1/12) of the Insurance Premiums that Lender estimates will be payable during the next ensuing twelve (12) months for the renewal of the coverage afforded by the Policies upon the expiration thereof or such higher amount necessary to accumulate with Lender sufficient funds to pay all such Insurance Premiums at least thirty (30) days prior to the expiration of the Policies (said amounts in clauses (a) and (b) above hereinafter called the “CIGNA Property Tax and Insurance Reserve Funds”).
(b) Lender will apply the CIGNA Property Tax and Insurance Reserve Funds to payments of Taxes and Insurance Premiums required to be made by CIGNA Mortgage Loan Borrower with respect to the CIGNA Mortgage Loan Properties pursuant to Section 5.4 and Section 8.1 hereof. In making any disbursement from the CIGNA Property Tax and Insurance Reserve Account, Lender may do so according to any xxxx, statement or estimate procured from the appropriate public office or tax lien service (with respect to Taxes) or insurer or agent (with respect to Insurance Premiums), without inquiry into the accuracy of such xxxx, statement or estimate or into the validity of any tax, assessment, sale, forfeiture, tax lien or title or claim thereof. If the amount of the CIGNA Property Tax and Insurance Reserve Funds shall exceed the amounts due for Taxes and Insurance Premiums with respect to the CIGNA Mortgage Loan Properties pursuant to Section 5.4 and Section 8.1 hereof, Lender shall, in its sole discretion, return any excess to Borrower or credit such excess against future payments to be made to the CIGNA Property Tax and Insurance Reserve Account. Any amount remaining in the CIGNA Property Tax and Insurance Reserve Account after the Debt has been paid in full shall be returned to Borrower and no other party shall have any right or claim thereto. If at any time Lender reasonably determines that the CIGNA Property Tax and Insurance Reserve Funds are not or will not be sufficient to pay Taxes and Insurance Premiums with respect to the CIGNA Mortgage Loan Properties by the dates set forth in clauses (a) and (b) above, Lender shall notify Borrower of such determination and Borrower shall pay to Lender any amount necessary to make up the deficiency within ten (10) days after notice from Lender to Borrower requesting payment thereof.
Section 9.8 Mezzanine Debt Yield Reserve.
(a) Borrower shall establish on the Closing Date an interest bearing account (which may be a sub-account of the Mezzanine Cash Management Account or may be a commingled account with one or more of the other Reserve Accounts) with Lender or Lenders’ agent (including Cash Management Bank) into which Borrower shall deposit all amounts when required under Section 10.2 of this Agreement during the existence of a Senior Mezzanine Cash Sweep Reserve Period (the “Mezzanine Debt Yield Reserve Account”). Amounts so deposited shall hereinafter be referred to as the “Mezzanine Debt Yield Reserve Funds”. The Mezzanine Debt Yield Reserve Funds shall be held by Lender as additional collateral for the Loan. Upon the earlier to occur of (a) payment in full of the Debt and (b) the Senior Mezzanine Cash Sweep
-169-
End Date, sums in the Mezzanine Debt Yield Reserve Account shall be released to the Mezzanine Cash Management Account and shall be applied and disbursed in accordance with the provisions of Section 10.2.
(b) Prior to the expiration of any Senior Mezzanine Cash Sweep Reserve Period, and provided no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, Lender shall disburse funds held in the Mezzanine Debt Yield Reserve Account to the applicable Borrower for the payment of Operating Expenses, Capital Replacements and/or FF&E Replacements (but not, in any event, for any Corporate G&A Expenses or Corporate Taxes) at any CIGNA Mortgage Loan Property (collectively, the “Mezzanine Debt Yield Reserve Eligible Expenses”), within five (5) Business Days after delivery by the applicable Borrower to Lender of a written request therefor, provided that such written request (a) contains a description satisfactory to Lender of the requested amount and the specific Mezzanine Debt Yield Reserve Eligible Expenses for which such amount is being requested, and (b) is accompanied by an Officer’s Certificate certifying that (i) such Mezzanine Debt Yield Reserve Eligible Expenses are set forth in a Lender-approved Annual Budget or have otherwise been approved by Lender (and specifying the applicable Annual Budget line items, or other Lender approval, as applicable), (ii) such Mezzanine Debt Yield Reserve Eligible Expenses have not been the subject of a previous disbursement from any Reserve Account; (iii) sufficient amounts are not on deposit in any other Reserve Account, any reserve account maintained under the CIGNA Mortgage Loan Documents or the Borrower Residual Account for the payment of such Mezzanine Debt Yield Reserve Eligible Expenses; (iv) all previous disbursements from the Mezzanine Debt Yield Reserve Account have been or will be used to pay the previously identified approved Mezzanine Debt Yield Reserve Eligible Expenses pursuant to the applicable Annual Budget or other Lender approval; and (v) such Mezzanine Debt Yield Reserve Eligible Expenses have not been, nor will be, paid by the Manager directly. Borrower shall also comply with Section 9.5 in connection with any request for disbursements for Capital Replacements or FF&E Replacements at any CIGNA Mortgage Loan Property. Notwithstanding the foregoing, (y) Lender shall not be obligated to fund any amounts from the Mezzanine Debt Yield Reserve Account more than once per month, nor in increments less than $10,000 for Operating Expenses at any CIGNA Mortgage Loan Property, nor in increments less than $100,000 for any Capital Replacements or FF&E Replacements at any CIGNA Mortgage Loan Property (except in each case any disbursement that reduces the amount in the Mezzanine Debt Yield Reserve Account to zero which disbursement may be less than $10,000 or $100,000 respectively), and (z) in no event shall Lender be obligated to disburse more than once per month to pay Operating Expenses, whether amounts are funded from the Mezzanine Debt Yield Reserve Account, or other Reserve Accounts as provided herein.
Section 9.9 CIGNA Property Operating Expense Reserve
In the event that any CIGNA Mortgage Loan Borrower is subject to a Management Agreement (or shall hereafter enter into a replacement Management Agreement with respect to one or more CIGNA Mortgage Loan Property(ies) with Lender’s approval in accordance with Section 5.14), which Management Agreement or replacement Management Agreement does not require that operating expenses be paid by the Manager thereunder from Rents from the affected CIGNA Mortgage Loan Property(ies) deposited directly into an account of the Manager, Borrowers shall pay, or shall cause CIGNA Mortgage Loan Borrower to pay, to
-170-
Lender on each Payment Date the monthly amount set forth in the approved Annual Budget for the calendar month following the month in which such Payment Date occurs for payment of approved Operating Expenses (pursuant to the applicable Annual Budget) at the applicable CIGNA Mortgage Loan Property(ies) covered by such Management Agreement or replacement Management Agreement for such month. Such amounts shall be deposited in an account established by Borrower (which may be a sub-account of the Mezzanine Cash Management Account or may be a commingled account with one or more of the other Reserve Accounts) for the payment of such approved Operating Expenses (the “CIGNA Property Operating Expense Reserve Account”). Amounts on deposit in the CIGNA Property Operating Expense Reserve Account are referred to as the “CIGNA Property Operating Expense Reserve Funds”. Provided no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, Lender shall disburse funds held in the CIGNA Property Operating Expense Reserve Account to the applicable Borrower for the payment of Operating Expenses (but not, in any event for any Corporate G&A Expenses or Corporate Taxes), within five (5) Business Days after delivery by the applicable Borrower to Lender of a request therefor, provided that such written request (a) contains a description satisfactory to Lender of the requested amount and the specific Operating Expenses for which such amount is being requested, and (b) is accompanied by an Officer’s Certificate certifying that (i) such Operating Expenses are set forth in a Lender-approved Annual Budget or have otherwise been approved by Lender (and specifying the applicable Annual Budget line items, or other Lender approval, as applicable), (ii) such CIGNA Operating Expenses have not been the subject of a previous disbursement from any Mortgage Loan Reserve Account or the Borrower Residual Account; (iii) all previous disbursements from the CIGNA Property Operating Expense Reserve Account have been or will be used to pay the previously identified approved Operating Expenses pursuant to the applicable Annual Budget or other Lender approval; and (iv) such Operating Expenses have not been, nor will be, paid by the Manager directly. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Lender shall not be obligated to fund any amounts from the CIGNA Operating Expense Reserve Account more than once per month (and subject to Clause 9.8(z) above), nor in increments less than $10,000, except any disbursement for FF&E Replacements (as described in the immediately following sentence), which shall not be in increments less than $100,000 (except in each case any disbursement that reduces the amount in the CIGNA Property Operating Expense Reserve Account to zero, which disbursement may be less than $10,000 or $100,000 respectively). Without limiting the foregoing, Borrower may request funds from the CIGNA Property Operating Expense Reserve Account for CIGNA Property FF&E Replacements, but only if all of the conditions set forth in this Section 9.10 and Section 9.6 are fully satisfied, and if sufficient amounts are not on deposit in the CIGNA Property FF&E Replacement Reserve or the CIGNA Property Capital Replacements Reserve for the payment of the costs of such CIGNA Property FF&E Replacements.
Section 9.10 Letter of Credit.
(a) Security for Debt. Each Letter of Credit delivered under this Agreement, any other Loan Document shall be additional security for the payment of the Debt. Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, Lender shall have the right, at its option, to draw on any Letter of Credit and to apply all or any part thereof to the payment of the items for which such Letter of Credit was established or to apply each such Letter of Credit to payment of the Debt in such order, proportion or priority as Lender may determine. Any such application to the Debt shall be subject to the Prepayment Premium, if any. If the Debt has not been paid on the Maturity Date, Lender may draw on any such Letter of Credit and the proceeds may be applied to reduce the Debt.
-171-
(b) Additional Rights of Lender. In addition to any other right Lender may have to draw upon a Letter of Credit pursuant to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, Lender shall have the additional rights to draw in full any Letter of Credit: (a) with respect to any evergreen Letter of Credit, if Lender has received a notice from the issuing bank that the Letter of Credit will not be renewed and a substitute Letter of Credit is not provided at least thirty (30) days prior to the date on which the outstanding Letter of Credit is scheduled to expire; (b) with respect to any Letter of Credit with a stated expiration date, if Lender has not received a notice from the issuing bank that it has renewed the Letter of Credit at least thirty (30) days prior to the date on which such Letter of Credit is scheduled to expire and a substitute Letter of Credit is not provided at least thirty (30) days prior to the date on which the outstanding Letter of Credit is scheduled to expire; (c) upon receipt of notice from the issuing bank that the Letter of Credit will be terminated (except if the termination of such Letter of Credit is permitted pursuant to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, the Post Closing Agreement or any other Loan Document or a substitute Letter of Credit is provided); or (d) if Lender has received notice that the bank issuing the Letter of Credit shall cease to be an L/C Eligible Institution. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in the above, Lender is not obligated to draw any Letter of Credit upon the happening of an event specified in clauses (a), (b), (c) or (d) above and shall not be liable for any losses sustained by Borrower due to the insolvency of the bank issuing the Letter of Credit if Lender has not drawn the Letter of Credit.
Section 9.11 Reserve Funds Generally.
(a) If the funds in any Reserve Account should exceed the amount of payments actually applied by Lender for the purposes of the account, Lender shall, in its sole discretion, credit such excess against future payments to be made to that Reserve Account or shall cause such excess to be deposited in the Mezzanine Cash Management Account. In allocating any such excess, Lender may deal with the Person shown on Lender’s records as being the owner of the applicable Individual Property. If at any time Lender reasonably determines that the Reserve Funds in any Reserve Account are not or will not be sufficient to make the payments which such Reserve Account was created to make (including any failure by Borrower to fund any CIGNA Property Capital Replacement Reserve Reconciliation Deposit or CIGNA Property FF&E Replacement Reserve Reconciliation Deposit as and when required under the terms of this Article IX), Lender shall notify Borrower of such determination and Borrower shall pay to Lender for deposit into the applicable Reserve Account any amount necessary to make up the deficiency within ten (10) days after notice from Lender to Borrower requesting payment thereof (and any failure to pay such amount within such time period shall be an Event of Default); provided, however, that notwithstanding the foregoing, Lender acknowledges that insufficient amounts in the Mezzanine Cash Management Account in order to make the deposits in Sections 10.2(b)(x) through 10.2(b)(xv) shall not entitle Lender to require Borrower to make up the deficiency. The insufficiency of any balance in any of the Reserve Accounts shall not relieve Borrower from its obligation to fulfill all covenants in the Loan Documents. Upon payment in full of the Debt, all Reserve Funds remaining on deposit, if any, in any Reserve Account shall be returned to Borrower or the Person shown on Lender’s records as being the owner of the Property and no other party shall have any right or claim thereto.
-172-
(b) (1) No earnings or interest on the Mezzanine Cash Management Account or Reserve Accounts shall be payable to Borrower, except that interest or earnings on amounts in Interest Bearing Accounts shall be added to, and treated in the same manner as, the principal amount of such Reserve Accounts as more particularly provided below. Neither Lender nor any loan servicer that at any time holds or maintains the non-interest-bearing Mezzanine Cash Management Account shall have any obligation to keep or maintain the Mezzanine Cash Management Account or any funds deposited therein in interest-bearing accounts. If Lender or any such loan servicer elects in its sole and absolute discretion to keep or maintain any non-interest-bearing Mezzanine Cash Management Account or any funds deposited therein in an interest-bearing account, the account shall be an Eligible Account and (A) such funds shall not be invested and (B) all interest earned or accrued thereon shall be for the account of and be retained by Lender or such loan servicer.
(2) Funds deposited in the Interest Bearing Accounts shall be held in an interest-bearing business savings account or invested in Permitted Investments. Borrower hereby irrevocably authorizes Lender, Cash Management Bank or Agent, as applicable, to invest sums on deposit in the Reserve Accounts in Permitted Investments. If sums on deposit in Reserve Accounts are invested in Permitted Investments, the maturity date of such Permitted Investment shall not be later than the date on which the invested sums are required for payment of an obligation for which the Reserve Accounts were created. Interest accruing on the Reserve Accounts shall be periodically added to the principal amount of the Reserve Accounts and shall be held, disbursed and applied in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement. Borrower hereby irrevocably authorizes and directs Agent to apply any income earned from Permitted Investments to the respective Reserve Account and all such income (or interest earned on sums maintained in interest bearing accounts) shall be and become part of the applicable Interest Bearing Account and shall be disbursed in accordance with provisions of this Article IX governing the release of funds from such account; provided, however, that Lender may, at its election, retain any such interest for its own account during the occurrence and continuance of an Event of Default. Any actual losses sustained on a liquidation of a Permitted Investment shall be deposited into the Reserve Accounts by Borrower no later than three (3) Business Days following such liquidation. Borrower shall be responsible for payment of any federal, state or local income or other tax applicable to income earned from Permitted Investments. In no event shall Lender or any loan servicer that at any time holds or maintains the Interest Bearing Accounts be required to select any particular interest-bearing account or the account that yields the highest rate of interest, provided that selection of the account shall be consistent with the general standards at the time being utilized by Lender or the loan servicer, as applicable, in establishing similar accounts for loans of comparable type.
(c) Borrower acknowledges and confirms that Borrower has established, and Borrower covenants that it shall maintain, an Eligible Account bearing account number 151203678876 and held at Cash Management Bank (wiring instructions: US Bank, N.A., ABA # 000000000, Account Name: HH Swap A LLC, pledged Master Reserve Account), which account shall be a Reserve Account and shall serve as the “master” Reserve Account and hold all
-173-
Reserve Funds, and amounts on deposit therein shall be held and disbursed in accordance with this Agreement. Borrower grants to Lender a first-priority perfected security interest in, and assigns and pledges to Lender, each of the Reserve Accounts and any and all Reserve Funds now or hereafter deposited in the Reserve Accounts as additional security for payment of the Debt. Until expended or applied in accordance herewith, the Reserve Accounts and the Reserve Funds shall constitute additional security for the Debt.
(d) Any and all Reserve Funds now or hereafter deposited in the Reserve Accounts shall be subject to the exclusive dominion and control of Lender, which shall hold any or all Reserve Funds now or hereafter deposited in the Reserve Accounts subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement. Borrower shall not have any right of withdrawal from the Reserve Accounts or any other right or power with respect to any or all of the Reserve Funds, except as expressly provided in this Agreement.
(e) Lender shall furnish or cause to be furnished to Borrower, without charge, an annual accounting of each Reserve Account in the normal format of Lender or its loan servicer, showing credits and debits to such Reserve Account and the purpose for which each debit to each Reserve Account was made.
(f) As long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, Lender shall make disbursements from the Reserve Accounts in accordance with this Agreement. All such disbursements shall be deemed to have been expressly pre-authorized by Borrower and shall not be deemed to constitute the exercise by Lender of any remedies against Borrower unless an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and Lender has expressly stated in writing its intent to proceed to exercise its remedies as a secured party, pledgee or lienholder with respect to the Reserve Accounts.
(g) If any Event of Default occurs and is continuing, Borrower shall immediately lose all of its rights to receive disbursements from the Reserve Accounts (and the Mezzanine Cash Management Account) until the earlier to occur of (i) the date on which such Event of Default is cured to Lender’s satisfaction, or (ii) the payment in full of the Debt. In addition, at Lender’s election, Borrower shall lose all of its rights to receive interest on the Interest Bearing Accounts during the occurrence and continuance of an Event of Default. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, Lender may exercise any or all of its rights and remedies as a secured party, pledgee and lienholder with respect to the Reserve Accounts (and the Mezzanine Cash Management Account). Without limitation of the foregoing, upon an Event of Default, Lender may use and disburse the Reserve Funds (or any portion thereof) for any of the following purposes: (A) repayment of the Debt, including principal prepayments and the prepayment premium applicable to such full or partial prepayment (as applicable); (B) reimbursement of Lender for all losses, fees, costs and expenses (including reasonable legal fees) suffered or incurred by Lender as a result of such Event of Default; (C) payment of any amount expended in exercising any or all rights and remedies available to Lender at law or in equity or under this Agreement or under any of the other Loan Documents; (D) payment of any item from any of the Reserve Accounts (or the Mezzanine Cash Management Account) as required or permitted under this Agreement; (E) payment to Xxxxx Fargo Mortgage Loan Lender of Reserved Senior Cash Sweep Amounts, if and to the extent required under the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement; and (F) any other purpose permitted by
-174-
applicable law; provided, however, that any such application of funds shall not cure or be deemed to cure any Event of Default. Without limiting any other provisions hereof, each of the remedial actions described in the immediately preceding sentence shall be deemed to be a commercially reasonable exercise of Lender’s rights and remedies as a secured party with respect to the Reserve Funds and shall not in any event be deemed to constitute a setoff or a foreclosure of a statutory banker’s lien. Nothing in this Agreement shall obligate Lender to apply all or any portion of the Reserve Funds to effect a cure of any Event of Default, or to pay the Debt, or in any specific order of priority. The exercise of any or all of Lender’s rights and remedies under this Agreement or under any of the other Loan Documents shall not in any way prejudice or affect Lender’s right exercise any other rights or remedies available to it under this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, including its right to initiate and complete a foreclosure under the Pledge Agreement.
(h) The Reserve Funds shall not constitute escrow or trust funds and may be commingled with other monies held by Lender, provided that any such commingling shall not affect Lender’s obligation to hold funds in interest-bearing accounts to the extent required hereunder. Notwithstanding anything else herein to the contrary, Lender may commingle in one or more Eligible Accounts any and all funds controlled by Lender, including funds pledged in favor of Lender by other borrowers, whether for the same purposes as the Mezzanine Cash Management Account, the Reserve Accounts or otherwise. Without limiting any other provisions of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, the Reserve Accounts may be established and held in such name or names as Lender or its loan servicer, as agent for Lender, shall deem appropriate, including in the name of Lender or such loan servicer, as agent for Lender. In the case of any Reserve Account which is held in a commingled account, Lender or its loan servicer, as applicable, shall maintain records sufficient to enable it to determine at all times which portion of such account is related to the Loan. Upon assignment of the Loan by Lender, any Reserve Funds shall be turned over to the assignee and any responsibility of Lender as assignor shall terminate. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, at Lender’s election, in lieu of sub-accounts of the Mezzanine Cash Management Account, the Reserve Accounts may be established as one or more separate accounts.
(i) Borrower shall not, without obtaining the prior written consent of Lender, further pledge, assign or grant any security interest in the Reserve Accounts or the Reserve Funds deposited therein or permit any Lien to attach thereto, except for the security interest granted in this Section 9.12, or any levy to be made thereon, or any UCC Financing Statements, except those naming Lender as the secured party, to be filed with respect thereto. Borrower will maintain the security interest created by this Section 9.12 as a first priority perfected security interest and will defend the right, title and interest of Lender in and to the Reserve Accounts and the Reserve Funds against the claims and demands of all Persons whomsoever. At any time and from time to time, upon the written request of Lender, and at the sole expense of Borrower, Borrower will promptly and duly execute and deliver such further instruments and documents and will take such further actions as Lender reasonably may request for the purpose of obtaining or preserving the full benefits of this Agreement and of the rights and powers herein granted.
(j) Lender shall be protected in acting upon any notice, resolution, request, consent, order, certificate, report, opinion, bond or other paper, document or signature believed by Lender to be genuine, and it may be assumed conclusively that any Person purporting to give
-175-
any of the foregoing in connection with the Reserve Accounts has been duly authorized to do so. Lender may consult with counsel, and the opinion of such counsel shall be full and complete authorization and protection in respect of any action taken or suffered by them hereunder and in good faith in accordance therewith. Lender shall not be liable to Borrower for any act or omission done or omitted to be done by Lender in reliance upon any instruction, direction or certification received by Lender and without gross negligence or willful misconduct.
(k) Beyond the exercise of reasonable care in the custody thereof, Lender shall not have any duty as to any Reserve Funds in its possession or control as agent therefor or bailee thereof or any income thereon or the preservation of rights against any person or otherwise with respect thereto. In no event shall Lender or its Affiliates, agents, employees or bailees, be liable or responsible for any loss or damage to any of the Reserve Funds, or for any diminution in value thereof, by reason of the act or omission of Lender, except to the extent that such loss or damage results from Lender’s gross negligence or willful misconduct or intentional nonperformance by Lender of its obligations under this Agreement.
(l) Intentionally omitted.
(m) Sums on deposit in the Reserve Accounts shall not be invested except in Permitted Investments. Lender, Cash Management Bank or Agent shall be permitted to invest sums on deposit in the Reserve Accounts in Permitted Investments; provided, however, in no event shall Lender, Cash Management Bank or Agent make a Permitted Investment if the maturity date of that Permitted Investment is later than the date on which the invested sums are required for payment of an obligation for which the Reserve Accounts were created. Interest accruing on the Reserve Accounts shall be periodically added to the principal amount of the Reserve Accounts and shall be held, disbursed and applied in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement. Borrower hereby irrevocably authorizes and directs Agent to apply any income earned from Permitted Investments to the respective Reserve Account. Any actual losses sustained on a liquidation of a Permitted Investment shall be deposited into the Reserve Accounts by Borrower no later than three (3) Business Days following such liquidation. Borrower shall be responsible for payment of any federal, state or local income or other tax applicable to income earned from Permitted Investments.
Section 9.12 Waiver of Certain CIGNA Property Reserves Funds.
Borrower shall be relieved of its obligation to make deposits to the CIGNA Property Ground Rent Reserve Account, the CIGNA Property Tax and Insurance Reserve Account, the CIGNA Property FF&E Replacement Reserve Account, the CIGNA Property Operating Expense Reserve Account and the CIGNA Property Capital Replacement Reserve Account (other than the CIGNA Property Capital Replacement Reserve Monthly Deposits) under this Article IX with respect to any CIGNA Mortgage Loan Property in the event the applicable CIGNA Mortgage Loan Borrower is required to, and actually makes, such monthly deposits to a reserve account maintained by the applicable CIGNA Mortgage Lender for the payment of such amounts or the Manager of such CIGNA Mortgage Loan Property actually reserves for such amounts or pays the costs and expenses which are to be paid with such amounts, in each case, to the reasonable satisfaction of Lender.

Lender’s right to withdraw and apply funds as stated herein shall be in addition to all other rights and remedies provided to Lender under this Agreement, the Pledge Agreement and the other Loan Documents.
Section 10.3 Security Interest.
(a) To secure the full and punctual payment of the Debt and performance of all obligations of Borrower now or hereafter existing under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, Borrower hereby grants to Lender a first-priority perfected security interest in the Mezzanine Cash Management Account (including any sub-accounts thereof) and the Reserve Accounts, all interest, cash, checks, drafts, certificates and instruments, if any, from time to time deposited or held therein and all “proceeds” (as defined in the New York Uniform Commercial Code (the “New York UCC”)) of any or all of the foregoing. Furthermore, Borrower shall not, without obtaining the prior written consent of Lender, further pledge, assign or grant any security interest in any of the foregoing or permit any Lien to attach thereto or any levy to be made thereon or any UCC Financing Statements to be filed with respect thereto. Borrower will maintain the security interest created by this Section 10.3(a) as a first priority perfected security interest and will defend the right, title and interest of Lender in and to the Mezzanine Cash Management Account and the Reserve Accounts against the claims and demands of all Persons whomsoever.
-181-
(b) Borrower authorizes Lender to file (without the signature of Borrower thereon) any financing statement or statements reasonably required by Lender to establish or maintain the validity, perfection and priority of the security interest granted herein in connection with the Mezzanine Cash Management Account and the Reserve Accounts.

(c) Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default and during the continuance thereof, Lender may exercise any or all of its rights and remedies as a secured party, pledgee and lienholder with respect to the Mezzanine Cash Management Account and the Reserve Accounts. Without limitation of the foregoing, upon any Event of Default and during the continuance thereof, Lender may use the amounts on deposit in the Mezzanine Cash Management Account (including the subaccounts thereof) and Reserve Accounts for any of the following purposes: (i) repayment of the Debt, including principal prepayments and the prepayment premium applicable to such full or partial prepayment (as applicable); (ii) reimbursement of Lender for all losses, fees, costs and expenses (including reasonable legal fees) suffered or incurred by Lender as a result of such Event of Default; (iii) payment of any amount expended in exercising any or all rights and remedies available to Lender at law or in equity or under this Agreement or under any of the other Loan Documents; (iv) payment of any item as required or permitted under this Agreement; or (v) any other purpose permitted by applicable law; provided, however, that any such application of funds shall not cure or be deemed to cure any Event of Default. Without limiting any other provisions hereof, each of the remedial actions described in the immediately preceding sentence shall be deemed to be a commercially reasonable exercise of Lender’s rights and remedies as a secured party with respect to the Mezzanine Cash Management Account and Reserve Accounts and shall not in any event be deemed to constitute a set off or a foreclosure of a statutory banker’s lien. Nothing in this Agreement shall obligate Lender to apply all or any portion of the amounts on deposit in the Cash Management Account or any Reserve Account to effect a cure of any Event of Default, or to pay the Debt, or in any specific order of priority. The exercise of any or all of Lender’s rights and remedies under this Agreement or under any of the other Loan Documents shall not in any way prejudice or affect Lender’s right to initiate and complete a foreclosure under the Mortgage.
(d) Borrower shall not have the right to close the Mezzanine Cash Management Account or any Reserve Account or have any right of withdrawal with respect thereto or right to give directions with respect to the Mezzanine Cash Management Account or any Reserve Account prior to repayment in full of the Loan.
(e) Borrower represents and warrants that the Mezzanine Cash Management is a “deposit account” and the Reserve Accounts are “deposit accounts” (as such terms are defined in the New York UCC), and the Mezzanine Cash Management Account and each Reserve Account shall be maintained as a deposit account. Borrower and Lender agree that neither the Mezzanine Cash Management Account nor any Reserve Account shall be evidenced by a certificate of deposit, passbook or other instrument.
-182-
(f) Lender and Agent agree that items received for deposit in the Mezzanine Cash Management Account or Reserve Accounts shall be deemed to bear the valid and legally binding endorsement of the payee and to comply with all of Agent’s requirements for the supplying of missing endorsements, now or hereafter in effect. As between Borrower and Lender, any deposit made by or on behalf of Borrower into the Mezzanine Cash Management Account or any Reserve Account shall be deemed deposited into the Mezzanine Cash Management Account or Reserve Account when the funds in respect of such deposit shall become collected funds.
Section 10.4 Definitions.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, for purposes of this Article X only, Business Day shall mean a day on which Lender is open for the conduct of substantially all of its banking business at the office in the city in which the Note is payable and where the Mezzanine Cash Management Account is maintained (in both instances, excluding Saturdays and Sundays).
Section 10.5 Deposit Account.
(a) In furtherance of the provisions of this Article X, the Mezzanine Cash Management Account is and shall be treated as a “deposit account” as defined in Section 9-102(a)(29) of the New York UCC with respect to which Cash Management Bank, as holder of the Mezzanine Cash Management Account, shall be the bank with which such deposit accounts are held (within the meaning of Section 9-104 of the New York UCC) and Lender, as lender of the Loan, shall be the bank’s customer (as contemplated by Section 9-104(a)(3) of the New York UCC). Lender shall have the right to originate instructions directing disposition of the funds in such deposit accounts without the consent of Borrower or any other person, and no other person shall have the right to originate such instructions.

(f) execute such amendments to the Loan Documents (provided such amendments do not increase the Sponsor’s obligations under the Loan Documents to which it is a party), including the Rate Cap, as may be requested by the holder of the Note or the Rating Agencies or otherwise to effect the Securitization including bifurcation of the Loan into two or more components and/or separate notes and/or creating a senior/subordinate note structure and/or creating an additional mezzanine loan structure; provided, however, that Borrower shall not be required, except during the continuance of an Event of Default, to modify or amend any Loan Document or the Rate Cap if such modification or amendment would (i) change the interest rate or the stated maturity or the amortization of principal set forth in the Loan Documents, except in connection with a bifurcation of the Loan which may result in varying LIBOR Rates for each component thereof, but which shall have the same initial weighted average coupon of the LIBOR Rate, (ii) modify or amend any other material economic term of the Loan, or (iii) materially increase Borrower’s obligations and liabilities, or materially decrease Borrower’s rights and remedies, under the Loan Documents.

In the event that any action is brought against any indemnified party, and it notifies the indemnifying party of the commencement thereof, the indemnifying party shall be entitled, jointly with any other indemnifying party, to participate therein and, to the extent that it (or they) may elect by written notice delivered to the indemnified party promptly after receiving the aforesaid notice from such indemnified party, to assume the defense thereof with counsel reasonably satisfactory to such indemnified party.

To the extent that the undertaking to indemnify, defend and hold harmless set forth in the preceding sentence may be unenforceable because it violates any law or public policy, Borrower shall pay the maximum portion that it is permitted to pay and satisfy under applicable law to the payment and satisfaction of all Indemnified Liabilities incurred by Lender.
Section 14.2 Intangible Tax Indemnification.
Borrower shall, at its sole cost and expense, protect, defend, indemnify, release and hold harmless the Indemnified Parties from and against any and all Liabilities imposed upon or incurred by or asserted against any Indemnified Parties and directly or indirectly arising out of or in any way relating to any tax on the making of the Pledge Agreement, the Note or any of the other Loan Documents, but excluding any income, franchise or other similar taxes.

-202-
(b) Nothing in Section 15.1(a) shall constitute a waiver of the right of Lender to enforce the liability and obligation of Borrower, by money judgment or otherwise, to the extent of any loss, damage, cost, expense, liability, claim or other obligation incurred by Lender (including attorneys’ fees and costs reasonably incurred) arising out of or in connection with any of the actions, events or circumstances described in Sections 1.2(a) of the Guaranty (collectively, the “Recourse Obligations”), and Borrower shall be personally liable to Lender for, and shall indemnify Lender and hold Lender harmless from and against any of the Recourse Obligations. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, the agreement of Lender not to pursue recourse liability as set forth in subsection (a) above SHALL BECOME NULL AND VOID and shall be of no further force and effect and the Debt shall become fully recourse to Borrower upon the occurrence or existence of any of the events or circumstances described in Section 1.2(b) of the Guaranty.
(c) Nothing herein shall be deemed to be a waiver of any right which Lender may have under Section 506(a), 506(b), 1111(b) or any other provision of the Bankruptcy Code or any other Creditors’ Rights Laws to file a claim for the full amount of the indebtedness secured by the Pledge Agreement or to require that all collateral shall continue to secure all of the indebtedness owing to Lender in accordance with this Agreement, the Note, the Pledge Agreement or the other Loan Documents.
(d) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, no direct or indirect member, shareholder, partner, principal, Affiliate, employee, officer, director, agent or representative of Borrower (each an “Exculpated Party”; provided, that none of Borrower, Mortgage Loan Borrower, Maryland Owner or Sponsor shall be an Exculpated Party with respect to its obligations set forth in the Environmental Indemnity, any Guaranty and in Section 13.6 of this Agreement, as applicable) shall have personal liability for the payment of any sum of money payable or for the performance or discharge of any covenants, obligations or undertakings of Borrower or under this Agreement, the Note, the Pledge Agreement or other Loan Documents and no monetary or deficiency judgment shall be sought or obtained or enforced against any Exculpated Party with respect thereto.

If Lender is advised by counsel chosen by it that the payment of tax by Borrower would be unlawful or taxable to Lender or unenforceable or provide the basis for a defense of usury then Lender shall have the option by written notice of not less than one hundred twenty (120) days to declare the Debt immediately due and payable.
(b) Borrower will not claim or demand or be entitled to any credit or credits on account of the Debt for any part of the Taxes or Other Charges assessed against any Individual Property or the Collateral, or any part thereof, and no deduction shall otherwise be made or claimed from the assessed value of any Individual Property or the Collateral, or any part thereof, for real estate or personal property tax purposes by reason of the Mortgage, the Pledge Agreement or the Debt.

WAIVERS
Section 18.1 Remedies Cumulative; Waivers.
The rights, powers and remedies of Lender under this Agreement shall be cumulative and not exclusive of any other right, power or remedy which Lender may have against any Borrower or Sponsor pursuant to this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, or existing at law or in equity or otherwise. Lender’s rights, powers and remedies may be pursued singularly, concurrently or otherwise, at such time and in such order as Lender may determine in Lender’s sole discretion. No delay or omission to exercise any remedy, right or power accruing upon an Event of Default shall impair any such remedy, right or power or shall be construed as a waiver thereof, but any such remedy, right or power may be exercised from time to time and as
-207-
often as may be deemed expedient. A waiver of one Default or Event of Default with respect to Borrower shall not be construed to be a waiver of any subsequent Default or Event of Default by Borrower or to impair any remedy, right or power consequent thereon.
Section 18.2 Modification, Waiver in Writing.
No modification, amendment, extension, discharge, termination or waiver of any provision of this Agreement, or of the Note, or of any other Loan Document, nor consent to any departure by Borrower therefrom, shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be in a writing signed by the party against whom enforcement is sought, and then such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance, and for the purpose, for which given. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, no notice to, or demand on Borrower, shall entitle Borrower to any other or future notice or demand in the same, similar or other circumstances.
Section 18.3 Delay Not a Waiver.
Neither any failure nor any delay on the part of Lender in insisting upon strict performance of any term, condition, covenant or agreement, or exercising any right, power, remedy or privilege hereunder, or under the Note or under any other Loan Document, or any other instrument given as security therefor, shall operate as or constitute a waiver thereof, nor shall a single or partial exercise thereof preclude any other future exercise, or the exercise of any other right, power, remedy or privilege. In particular, and not by way of limitation, by accepting payment after the due date of any amount payable under this Agreement, the Note or any other Loan Document, Lender shall not be deemed to have waived any right either to require prompt payment when due of all other amounts due under this Agreement, the Note or the other Loan Documents, or to declare a default for failure to effect prompt payment of any such other amount.
Section 18.4 Trial By Jury.
BORROWER AND LENDER EACH HEREBY AGREES NOT TO ELECT A TRIAL BY JURY OF ANY ISSUE TRIABLE OF RIGHT BY JURY, AND WAIVES ANY RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY FULLY TO THE EXTENT THAT ANY SUCH RIGHT SHALL NOW OR HEREAFTER EXIST WITH REGARD TO THE LOAN DOCUMENTS, OR ANY CLAIM, COUNTERCLAIM OR OTHER ACTION ARISING IN CONNECTION THEREWITH. THIS WAIVER OF RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IS GIVEN KNOWINGLY AND VOLUNTARILY BY BORROWER AND LENDER, AND IS INTENDED TO ENCOMPASS INDIVIDUALLY EACH INSTANCE AND EACH ISSUE AS TO WHICH THE RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY WOULD OTHERWISE ACCRUE. EACH OF LENDER AND BORROWER IS HEREBY AUTHORIZED TO FILE A COPY OF THIS PARAGRAPH IN ANY PROCEEDING AS CONCLUSIVE EVIDENCE OF THIS WAIVER BY BORROWER AND LENDER.
Section 18.5 Waiver of Notice.
Borrower shall not be entitled to any notices of any nature whatsoever from Lender except with respect to matters for which this Agreement or the other Loan Documents
-208-
specifically and expressly provide for the giving of notice by Lender to Borrower and except with respect to matters for which Borrower is not, pursuant to applicable Legal Requirements, permitted to waive the giving of notice. Borrower hereby expressly waives the right to receive any notice from Lender with respect to any matter for which this Agreement or the other Loan Documents do not specifically and expressly provide for the giving of notice by Lender to Borrower.
Section 18.6 Remedies of Borrower.
In the event that a claim or adjudication is made that Lender or its agents have acted unreasonably or unreasonably delayed acting in any case where by law or under this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, Lender or such agent, as the case may be, has an obligation to act reasonably or promptly, Borrower agrees that neither Lender nor its agents shall be liable for any monetary damages, and Borrower’s sole remedies shall be limited to commencing an action seeking injunctive relief or declaratory judgment. The parties hereto agree that any action or proceeding to determine whether Lender has acted reasonably shall be determined by an action seeking declaratory judgment. Lender agrees that, in such event, it shall cooperate in expediting any action seeking injunctive relief or declaratory judgment.
Section 18.7 Waiver of Marshalling of Assets.
To the fullest extent permitted by law, Borrower, for itself and its successors and assigns, waives all rights to a marshalling of the assets of Borrower, Mortgage Loan Borrower, Maryland Owner and other Persons with interests in Borrower, Mortgage Loan Borrower or Maryland Owner, and of the Property and the Collateral, and agrees not to assert any right under any laws pertaining to the marshalling of assets, the sale in inverse order of alienation, homestead exemption, the administration of estates of decedents, or any other matters whatsoever to defeat, reduce or affect the right of Lender under the Loan Documents to a sale of the Collateral for the collection of the Debt without any prior or different resort for collection or of the right of Lender to the payment of the Debt out of the net proceeds of the Collateral in preference to every other claimant whatsoever.
Section 18.8 Waiver of Statute of Limitations.
Borrower hereby expressly waives and releases, to the fullest extent permitted by law, the pleading of any statute of limitations as a defense to payment of the Debt or performance of its other obligations set forth in the Loan Documents.
Section 18.9 Waiver of Counterclaim.
Borrower hereby waives the right to assert a counterclaim, other than a compulsory counterclaim, in any action or proceeding brought against it by Lender or its agents.

survey, appraisal, or insurance policy, Lender shall not be deemed to have warranted, consented to, or affirmed the sufficiency, the legality or effectiveness of same, and such acceptance or approval thereof shall not constitute any warranty or affirmation with respect thereto by Lender.
(f) Borrower recognizes and acknowledges that in accepting this Agreement, the Note, the Pledge Agreement, the Guaranty, the Environmental Indemnity and the other Loan Documents, Lender is expressly and primarily relying on the truth and accuracy of the representations and warranties set forth in this Agreement without any obligation to investigate any Individual Property or the Collateral and notwithstanding any investigation of any Individual Property or the Collateral by Lender; that such reliance existed on the part of Lender prior to the date hereof, that the warranties and representations are a material inducement to Lender in making the Loan; and that Lender would not be willing to make the Loan and accept this Agreement, the Note, the Pledge Agreement and the other Loan Documents in the absence of the warranties and representations as set forth in Article IV.
Section 20.8 Publicity.
All news releases, publicity or advertising by Borrower or its Affiliates through any media intended to reach the general public which refers to the Loan, Lender, or any of their Affiliates shall be subject to the prior written approval of Lender, not to be unreasonably withheld.

Section 20.9 Conflict; Construction of Documents; Reliance.
In the event of any conflict between the provisions of this Agreement and any of the other Loan Documents, the provisions of this Agreement shall control.

Borrower acknowledges that, with respect to the Loan, Borrower shall rely solely on its own judgment and advisors in entering into the Loan without relying in any manner on any statements, representations or recommendations of Lender or any parent, subsidiary or Affiliate of Lender. Lender shall not be subject to any limitation whatsoever in the exercise of any rights or remedies available to it under any of the Loan Documents or any other agreements or instruments which govern the Loan by virtue of the ownership by it or any parent, subsidiary or Affiliate of Lender of any equity interest any of them may acquire in Borrower, and Borrower hereby irrevocably waives the right to raise any defense or take any action on the basis of the foregoing with respect to Lender’s exercise of any such rights or remedies. Borrower acknowledges that Lender engages in the business of real estate financings and other real estate transactions and investments which may be viewed as adverse to or competitive with the business of Borrower or its Affiliates.

Section 20.10 Entire Agreement.
This Agreement and the other Loan Documents contain the entire agreement of the parties hereto and thereto in respect of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby, and all prior agreements among or between such parties, whether oral or written between Borrower and Lender are superseded by the terms of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.
THIS AGREEMENT AND ALL OF THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS EXECUTED BY ANY OF THE PARTIES SUBSTANTIALLY CONCURRENTLY HEREWITH CONSTITUTE A WRITTEN LOAN AGREEMENT AND REPRESENT THE FINAL AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE PARTIES TO THEM AND MAY NOT BE CONTRADICTED BY EVIDENCE OF PRIOR, CONTEMPORANEOUS OR SUBSEQUENT ORAL AGREEMENTS OF THE PARTIES. THERE ARE NO UNWRITTEN ORAL AGREEMENTS BETWEEN THE PARTIES.
Section 20.11 Co-Lenders.
(a) Borrower hereby acknowledges and agrees that notwithstanding the fact that the Loan may be serviced by Servicer, prior to a Securitization of the Loan, all requests for approval and consents hereunder and in every instance in which Lender’s consent or approval is required, Borrower shall be required to obtain the consent and approval of the Co-Lenders holding 50.1% (individually or in the aggregate) or more of the Loan and all copies of documents, reports, requests and other delivery obligations of Borrower required hereunder shall be delivered by Borrower to each Co-Lender.
(b) Following the Closing Date (i) the liabilities of Lender shall be several and not joint, (ii) no Co-Lender shall be responsible for the obligations of the other Co-Lender, and (iii) each Co-Lender shall be liable to Borrower only for their respective Ratable Share of the Loan. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, all indemnities by Borrower and obligations for principal and interest payments, payment of prepayment fees, exits fees, default interest or any other amounts due hereunder, including costs, expenses, damages or advances each as set forth herein shall run to and benefit each Co-Lender in accordance with its Ratable Share.
(c) Each Co-Lender agrees that it has, independently and without reliance on the other Co-Lender, and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own credit analysis of Borrower and its Affiliates and decision to enter into this Agreement and that it will, independently and without reliance upon the other Co-Lender, and based on such documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own analysis and decisions in taking or not taking action under this Agreement or under any other Loan Document.
(d) In connection with any consent or approval under the Loan Documents, or any other circumstance in which “Lender” has the right to take an action and obtain reimbursement therefor from Borrower or any Affiliate of Borrower under the Loan Documents,
-215-
each Co-Lender agrees that the Co-Lenders shall be entitled to designate as many Persons as they desire but that Borrower and its Affiliates shall only be obligated to pay the legal fees, costs and expenses incurred by one Lender and not all Co-Lenders, except in an Event of Default in which case the foregoing limitation shall not apply. The Co-Lenders shall also designate one Co-Lender or one Servicer to act as the agent for all Co-Lenders for all dealings with Borrower under the Loan Documents.
Section 20.12 Certain Additional Rights of Lender.
Notwithstanding anything which may be contained in this Agreement to the contrary, Lender shall have:
(a) the right to designate any party to receive payment of all fees, costs and expenses otherwise payable to Lender under this Agreement or the other Loan Documents;
(b) the right to routinely consult with and advise Borrower’s management regarding the significant business activities and business and financial developments of Borrower, provided, however, that such consultations shall not include discussions of environmental compliance programs or disposal of hazardous substances. Consultation meetings should occur on a regular basis (no less frequently than quarterly) with Lender having the right to call special meetings at any reasonable times;
(c) the right, without restricting any other right of Lender under this Agreement (including any similar right), to restrict, upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, Borrower’s payments of management consulting, director or similar fees to affiliates of Borrower (or their personnel);
(d) the right, without restricting any other rights of Lender under this Agreement (including any similar right), upon an Event of Default, to vote the owners’ interests in Borrower pursuant to irrevocable proxies granted, at the request of Borrower in advance for this purpose; and
(e) the right, without restricting any other rights of Lender under this Agreement (including any similar right), to restrict the transfer to voting interests of Borrower held by its members or partners (as the case may be), and the right to restrict the transfer of interests in such member or partner (as the case may be), except for any transfer that is expressly permitted under any of the Mortgage Loan Documents, Loan Documents or Other Mezzanine Loan Documents.
Section 20.13 Registered Form. Lender or, at Lender’s option, Agent, as a non-fiduciary agent of Borrower, shall maintain (a) a copy of each assignment of all or any portion of either of the Notes (as “Assignment Agreement”) delivered to it, and (b) a register within the meaning of Treasury Regulation Section 5(f).103-1(c) (the “Register”), in which it will register the name and address of Lender and the name and address of each assignee of Lender under this Agreement and each Assignment Agreement, and the principal amount of the Loan (and stated interest thereon) owing to each such Lender pursuant to the terms hereof and of each Assignment Agreement. Borrower, Lender and Agent may not treat any Person whose name is not recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a Lender for the purposes of
-216-
this Agreement, notwithstanding notice to the contrary or any notation of ownership or other writing on any Note. The Register shall be available for inspection by Lender or Borrower at Agent’s principal place of business, at any reasonable time and from time to time, upon reasonable prior notice. Borrower hereby appoints Agent as its non-fiduciary agent for purposes of compliance with US Treasury Regulation Section 5(f).103-1(c). The entries in the Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and Borrower, Lender and Agent shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register as the owner of such interest for all purposes of this Agreement notwithstanding any notice to the contrary.
Section 20.14 Collateral Agent; Lead Lender. Lender (and its successors and assigns as a lender hereunder) hereby appoints and authorizes Blackstone (together with its successors and assigns as a lender hereunder and/or any trustee in a Securitization) to act as agent for all of the entities constituting Lender under this Agreement for the purpose of holding, releasing and otherwise dealing with, subject to and in accordance with the terms of any co-lender and/or participation agreement(s) from time to time in effect among the parties constituting Lender (each such party, an “Individual Lender”), all collateral (including all certificated limited liability company interests and limited liability company powers and the Mezzanine Cash Management Account) for the Loan. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 20.14, Blackstone has the right to delegate any of its rights granted under this Section 20.14 to the servicer under any servicing agreement or custodian under any custodial agreement entered into pursuant to any of the aforementioned co-lender and/or participation agreements.
Section 20.15 Bankruptcy Waivers and Assurances.
(a) Assurances of Future Non-Impairment. Borrower acknowledges and agrees (i) that Lender has expressed its intent and expectation that the concessions, modifications, and accommodations set forth in this Agreement and the Loan Documents constitute the final and conclusive statement of their lending relationship with Borrower Parties, (ii) that Borrower Parties will fully, faithfully and completely pay all obligations under the Loan Documents and comply with all other terms and conditions in this Agreement and the Loan Documents, and (iii) that Lender shall not be subject to any additional business or legal risks with respect to payment of obligations under the Loan Documents. To confirm and realize this expectation and intent, Borrower provides the following representations, acknowledgments, warranties, and agreements:
(i) Borrower acknowledges and agrees that, by entering into this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, Lender is willing to afford Borrower a reasonable opportunity to satisfy all of its obligations under the Loan Documents in accordance with the terms and conditions in the Loan Documents, provided, however, that Lender is not willing to accept the additional risk of a future restructuring, renegotiation, or modification of any terms and conditions in the Loan Documents. Borrower further acknowledges and agrees that the representations, acknowledgments, agreements, and warranties made by Borrower (and other Borrower Parties) constitute a material inducement to Lender to enter into this Agreement and the related Loan Documents, and that Lender is relying on such representations and warranties, has changed and will continue to change its position in reliance thereon, and that Lender would not have entered into this Agreement and the related Loan Documents without such representations, acknowledgments, agreements, and warranties.
-217-
(ii) Borrower represents and warrants that the performance of the terms and conditions under the Loan Documents is feasible, realistic, and achievable.
(iii) Borrower acknowledges and agrees that Lender has no obligation to, and does not intend to agree to, accept any subsequent restructuring proposal or make any subsequent loans or other financial accommodations to Borrower or any other Borrower Party. Lender has not, directly or indirectly, encouraged Borrower to anticipate or expect any favorable consideration of any future business plans or requests for additional modifications, amendments or supplements of or to the Loan Documents. Borrower acknowledges and agrees that Lender’s present objectives and goals may include insistence upon full, timely and strict compliance with all terms and conditions of the Loan Documents, and a refusal to consider or accept any subsequent proposals for restructuring or modifications of the Loan Documents.
(iv) Borrower represents and warrants that it has no present intention currently or in the future to file a voluntary petition for bankruptcy under the Bankruptcy Code.
(v) Neither Borrower nor any of the other Borrower Parties shall under any circumstances resist, hinder, or delay Lender’s enforcement of any rights or remedies it may have under the Loan Documents, including (i) seeking in any state or federal court or any foreign tribunal an injunction or order which may stay or limit Lender’s enforcement of such rights and remedies, (ii) filing a voluntary petition for bankruptcy under the Bankruptcy Code, or any other Creditors’ Rights Laws, and (iii) inducing, supporting, or encouraging any third party to file an involuntary petition against Borrower or any other Borrower Party under the Bankruptcy Code.
(b) Waivers and Assurances in Bankruptcy. If, for any reason, Borrower or any of the other Borrower Parties becomes a debtor in a case under the Bankruptcy Code, then Borrower hereby agrees as follows:
(i) To the extent permitted by applicable law and not inconsistent with Borrower’s discharge of compliance with its fiduciary duty, as advised by counsel, Borrower shall consent, and shall cause the other Borrower Parties to consent, to any termination or modification of the automatic stay under Section 362 of Bankruptcy Code as may be requested by Lender or Agent, and hereby expressly waives, and shall cause each other Borrower Party to waive and not to seek or exercise, any and all rights, protections, and benefits of the automatic stay or similar injunctive relief available under the Bankruptcy Code. Borrower shall not seek, and shall not permit the other Borrower Parties to seek, a supplementary injunction under Section 105 of the Bankruptcy Code or otherwise to further stay or hinder Lender or Agent in the enforcement of their rights and remedies.
(ii) Borrower acknowledges and agrees that in the event of its bankruptcy, “adequate protection” for the interests of Lender must, at a minimum, include the
-218-
following: (a) a cure of all prepetition monetary defaults under the Loan Documents within ninety (90) days from the commencement of the case; (b) the timely performance of all monetary obligations under the Loan Documents arising from and after the commencement of the case; and (c) such debtor shall file within ninety (90) days of the commencement of the case a plan of reorganization which provides for a treatment which is acceptable to Lender, or which leaves the interests of Lender unimpaired. Failure to provide adequate protection on such terms shall constitute a separate and distinct cause for the termination of the automatic stay in the case.
(iii) Borrower shall not, and shall not permit the other Borrower Parties to, seek to modify, impair, or limit the rights and remedies of Lender under Sections 506(c) or 552(b) of the Bankruptcy Code or otherwise, and shall not seek to obtain credit or incur debt to be secured by a senior or equal lien on any of Lender’s collateral pursuant to Section 364(b) or otherwise.
(iv) Borrower shall not, and shall not permit the other Borrower Parties to, propose, support, encourage, induce, or vote in favor of any plan of reorganization that seeks to alter, modify, abridge, or eliminate, in any respect, any of the rights and remedies of Lender or Agent.
Section 20.16 General Release.
Borrower, on behalf of itself, all Borrower Parties, and each of their respective past, present and future subsidiaries, affiliates, divisions, directors, shareholders, officers, employees, partners, members, managers, representatives, advisors, servicers, attorneys and agents and each of their respective heirs, transferees, executors, administrators, personal representatives, legal representatives, predecessors, successors and assigns (including any successors by merger, consolidation or acquisition of all or a substantial portion of any such Persons’ assets and business), each in their capacity as such (collectively, the “Releasing Parties”), hereby releases and forever discharges all Indemnified Parties from any and all Liabilities (including any Liabilities which any Releasing Party does not know or suspect to exist in its favor as of the Closing Date, which if known by such Releasing Party might have affected such Releasing Party’s release of an Indemnified Party, and including any Servicing Claims, but not any claims for contribution or indemnification that may exist in respect of Servicing Claims made by third parties that are not parties to the Release and Indemnity) that are or may be based in whole or part on any act, omission, transaction, event, or other circumstance taking place or existing on or prior to the date hereof, which the Releasing Parties or any of them may have or which may hereafter be asserted or accrue against Indemnified Parties or any of them, resulting from or in any way relating to any act or omission done or committed by Indemnified Parties, or any of them, prior to the date hereof in each case connection with or arising out of the Loan or the Loan Documents. The releases contained in this Section 20.16 apply to all Liabilities which the Releasing Parties or any of them have or which may hereafter arise against the Indemnified Parties or any of them in connection with or arising out of the Loan or the Loan Documents, as a result of acts or omissions occurring before the date hereof, whether or not known or suspected by the parties hereto. Borrower expressly acknowledges that although ordinarily a general release does not extend to claims which the releasing party does not know or suspect to exist in his, her or its favor, which if known by him, her or it must have materially affected his, her or its
-219-
settlement with the party released, Borrower has carefully considered and taken into account in determining to enter into this Agreement the possible existence of such unknown losses or claims. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Borrower, on behalf of itself and all of the Releasing Parties expressly waives any and all rights conferred upon it by any statute or rule of law which provides that a release does not extend to claims which the claimant does not know or suspect to exist in his, her or its favor at the time of executing the release, which if known by him, her or it must have materially affected his, her or its settlement with the released party, including the following provisions of California Civil Code Section 1542:
“A general release does not extend to claims which the creditor does not know or suspect to exist in his or her favor at the time of executing the release, which if known by him or her must have materially affected his or her settlement with the debtor.” |
This release by Releasing Parties shall constitute a complete defense to any Liability released pursuant to this release. Nothing in this release shall be construed as (or shall be admissible in any legal action or proceeding as) an admission by any Co-Lender or any other Indemnified Party that any Liability exists which is within the scope of those hereby released. This Section 20.16 shall survive the repayment and performance of all obligations under the Loan Documents, and the reconveyance, foreclosure, or other extinguishment of any related security instruments. For the avoidance of doubt, by agreeing to this Section 20.16, Releasing Parties represent and acknowledge that none of them may seek to use any of the Liabilities released herein as a set-off of any other obligation that may exist between any Releasing Party and Indemnified Party. In addition, Liabilities released herein shall include any Releasing Party’s right to contribution or any other similar demand that might otherwise exist (and the terms of this sentence shall control over any conflicting provision in any other Loan Document, including the Release and Indemnity).
In no event shall the provisions of this Section 20.16 be deemed to limit any other release of any Indemnified Parties under any other Loan Document, including the Release and Indemnity, and all such releases of any Indemnified Parties shall be read in the broadest possible manner notwithstanding anything contained herein.
