Section
2.2 Interest; Loan Payments; Late Payment
Charge
2.2.1 Payment
of Principal and Interest.
(i) Except
as set forth in Section 2.2.1(ii), interest shall accrue on the Principal
Amount as set forth in the Mezzanine Note.
(ii) Upon
the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default and from and
after the Maturity Date if the entire Principal Amount is not repaid on the
Maturity Date, interest on the outstanding principal balance of the Loan and, to
the extent permitted by law, overdue interest and other amounts due in respect
of the Loan shall accrue at the Default Rate calculated from the date such
payment was due without regard to any grace or cure periods contained herein.
Interest at the Default Rate shall be computed from the occurrence of the Event
of Default until the actual receipt and collection of the Indebtedness (or that
portion thereof that is then due). To the extent permitted by applicable law,
interest at the Default Rate shall be added to the Indebtedness, shall itself
accrue interest at the same rate as the Loan and shall be secured by this
Agreement and the Pledge. This paragraph shall not be construed as an agreement
or privilege to extend the date of the payment of the Indebtedness, nor as a
waiver of any other right or remedy accruing to Mezzanine Lender by reason of
the occurrence of any Event of Default, and Mezzanine Lender retains its rights
under the Mezzanine Note to accelerate and to continue to demand payment of the
Indebtedness upon the happening of any Event of Default.
2.2.2 Method
and Place of Payment.
(a) On
each Payment Date, Mezzanine Borrower shall pay or cause to be paid to Mezzanine
Lender interest accruing pursuant to the Mezzanine Note for the entire Interest
Period during which said Payment Date shall occur.

amounts advanced by Mezzanine Lender pursuant to the applicable provisions of
the Loan Documents (Senior Mezzanine), other than the Principal Amount, together
with any interest at the Default Rate or other charges as provided therein,
shall be due and payable hereunder as provided in the Loan Documents (Senior
Mezzanine). In the event any such advance or charge is not so repaid by
Mezzanine Borrower, Mezzanine Lender may, at its option and upon notice to
Mezzanine Borrower, first apply any payments received under the Mezzanine Note
to repay such advances, together with any interest thereon, or other charges as
provided in the Loan Documents (Senior Mezzanine), and the balance, if any,
shall be applied in payment of any installment of interest or principal then due
and payable.
(c) The
Maturity Date Payment shall be due and payable in full on the Maturity Date.
23
2.2.3 Late
Payment Charge. If any interest payment due under the Loan
Documents (Senior Mezzanine) is not paid by Mezzanine Borrower within five (5)
days after the date on which it is due (or, if such fifth (5th) day is not a
Business Day, then the Business Day immediately preceding such day) on or prior
to the date on which it is due, Mezzanine Borrower shall pay to Mezzanine Lender
upon demand an amount equal to the lesser of three percent (3%) of such unpaid
sum or the Maximum Legal Rate (the Late Payment Charge) in
order to defray the expense incurred by Mezzanine Lender in handling and
processing such delinquent payment and to compensate Mezzanine Lender for the
loss of the use of such delinquent payment. Any such amount shall be secured by
this Agreement, the Pledge and the other Loan Documents (Senior Mezzanine) to
the extent permitted by applicable law. Mezzanine Borrower acknowledges and
agrees that the five day grace period with respect to the applicability of the
Late Payment Charge (i) shall only apply to Mezzanine Borrower's first failure
to make a monthly interest payment in any calendar year and (ii) shall not
constitute a payment grace period and shall in no way limit Mezzanine Lender's
rights under Article XVII.
2.2.4 Usury
Savings. This Agreement and the Mezzanine Note are subject to the
express condition that at no time shall Mezzanine Borrower be obligated or
required to pay interest on the Principal Amount of the Loan at a rate which

of being in excess of the Maximum Legal Rate. If, by the terms of this Agreement
or the other Loan Documents (Senior Mezzanine), Mezzanine Borrower is at any
time required or obligated to pay interest on the Principal Amount due under the
Mezzanine Note at a rate in excess of the Maximum Legal Rate, then the LIBOR
Rate or the Default Rate, as the case may be, shall be deemed to be immediately
reduced to the Maximum Legal Rate and all previous payments in excess of the
Maximum Legal Rate shall be deemed to have been payments in reduction of
principal and not on account of the interest due under the Mezzanine Note. All
sums paid or agreed to be paid to Mezzanine Lender for the use, forbearance, or
detention of the sums due under the Loan, shall, to the extent permitted by
applicable law, be amortized, prorated, allocated, and spread throughout the
full stated term of the Loan until payment in full so that the rate or amount of
interest on account of the Loan does not exceed the Maximum Legal Rate of
interest from time to time in effect and applicable to the Loan for so long as
the Loan is outstanding.

This Agreement shall constitute a security agreement for purposes of
the Uniform Commercial Code and other applicable law.
3.1.3 Maintenance
of Collateral Accounts. Mezzanine Borrower agrees that the Senior
Mezzanine Account and the Sub-Accounts are and shall each be maintained (i) as a
"securities account" (as such term is defined in Section 8-501(a) of the UCC),
(ii) in such a manner that Mezzanine Lender shall have control (within the
meaning of Section 8-106(d)(2) of the UCC) over the Senior Mezzanine Account and
any Sub-Account thereof, (iii) such that Mezzanine Borrower, and Manager shall
have no right of withdrawal from the Senior Mezzanine Account or the
Sub-Accounts and, except as provided herein, no Account Collateral (Senior
Mezzanine) shall be released to Mezzanine Borrower or Manager from the Senior
Mezzanine Account or the Sub-Accounts. Without limiting the Mezzanine Borrower's
obligations under the immediately preceding sentence, Mezzanine Borrower shall
only establish and maintain the Senior Mezzanine Account with a financial
institution that has executed an agreement substantially in the form of the
Account Agreement (Senior Mezzanine) or in such other form acceptable to
Mezzanine Lender in its sole discretion.
3.1.4 Eligible
Accounts. The Collateral Accounts (Senior Mezzanine) shall be
Eligible Accounts. The Collateral Accounts (Senior Mezzanine) shall be subject
to such applicable laws, and such applicable regulations of the Board of
Governors of the Federal Reserve System and of any other banking or governmental
authority, as may now or hereafter be in effect. Income and interest accruing on
the Collateral Accounts (Senior Mezzanine) or any investments held in such
accounts shall be periodically added to the principal amount of such account and
shall be held, disbursed and applied in accordance with the provisions of this
Agreement and the Account Agreement (Senior Mezzanine). Mezzanine Borrower shall
be the beneficial owner of the Collateral Accounts (Senior Mezzanine) for
federal income tax purposes and shall report all income on the Collateral
Accounts (Senior Mezzanine).
3.1.5 Deposits
into Sub-Accounts. On the date hereof, Mezzanine Borrower has
deposited the following amounts into the Sub-Accounts:
(i) $0.00
into the Mezzanine Debt Service Reserve Account.
3.1.6 Monthly
Funding.
(a) Mezzanine
Borrower hereby instructs Mezzanine Lender to transfer (and pursuant to the
Account Agreement (Senior Mezzanine) shall irrevocably authorize Cash Management
Bank (Senior Mezzanine) to execute any corresponding instructions of Mezzanine
Lender), and Mezzanine Lender shall transfer (or cause Cash
31
Management Bank to transfer pursuant to disbursement instructions
from Mezzanine Lender) to the Mezzanine Debt Service Reserve Account, from the
Senior Mezzanine Account by 11:00 am New York time on the first (1st) calendar
day of each calendar month (and if such day is not a Business Day then on the
immediately preceding Business Day) or as soon thereafter as there shall be
sufficient collected funds on deposit in the Senior Mezzanine Account, and from
time to time (but no less frequently than weekly thereafter) funds in an amount
equal to the sum of any Protective Advances which may have been advanced by (and
not previously reimbursed to) the Mezzanine Lender pursuant to the terms of the
Loan Documents (Senior Mezzanine) to cure any Default or Event of Default, any
Mortgage Default or Mortgage Event of Default, or to protect the Collateral
together with any interest payable on such amounts pursuant to the Loan
Documents (Senior Mezzanine), plus (x) the unpaid Debt Service (Senior
Mezzanine) for the next occurring Payment Date, plus (y) an amount equal to such
payments for any prior month(s), to the extent not previously paid, plus (z) an
amount equal to the amount, if any, deducted from the Senior Mezzanine Account
in any preceding month to pay any other amounts then due under the Loan
Documents (Senior Mezzanine) (other than any Debt Service (Senior Mezzanine)).
Mezzanine Borrower acknowledges that Mezzanine Lender shall not be required to
make such withdrawal and deposit until such time as Mezzanine Lender is able to
calculate the amount of the Debt Service (Senior Mezzanine) for the next
occurring Payment Date. As used herein, the term Net Excess Cash
Flow means the amount available in the Senior Mezzanine Account after
the transfers to the Mezzanine Debt Service Reserve Account required under this
Section 3.1.6 have been made and the term Net Excess Cash Flow
Commencement Date shall mean the date such amounts have been fully
funded or reserved within the Senior Mezzanine Account in any given calendar
month.
(b) If
for any reason there will be insufficient amounts in the Mezzanine Debt Service
Reserve Account on any Payment Date to pay the Debt Service (Senior Mezzanine)
due on such Payment Date, Mezzanine Borrower shall immediately deposit into the
Senior Mezzanine Account an amount equal to the shortfall of available funds in
the Mezzanine Debt Service Reserve Account. Any failure by Mezzanine Borrower to
deposit the full amount required by the preceding sentence shall constitute an
Event of Default hereunder. If Mezzanine Lender shall reasonably determine that
there will be insufficient amounts in the Senior Mezzanine Account to pay any
Protective Advances as and when the same are due and payable, Mezzanine Lender
shall provide written notice of same to Mezzanine Borrower setting forth the
basis for such determination. Within five (5) Business Days of receipt of said
notice, Mezzanine Borrower shall deposit into the Senior Mezzanine Account an
amount equal to the shortfall of available funds in the Senior Mezzanine
Account. Any failure by Mezzanine Borrower to deposit the full amount required
by the preceding sentence within said five (5) Business Day period shall
constitute an Event of Default hereunder.
(c) Provided
that (i) no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing hereunder or
under any of the other Loan Documents (Senior Mezzanine), (ii) no Mortgage Event
of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, (iii) Mezzanine Borrower shall
have delivered to Mezzanine Lender an Officer's Certificate (which Mezzanine
Borrower shall not be obligated to deliver more frequently than once per
32
calendar month) certifying that the signatories know of no Event of
Default or Mortgage Event of Default (as applicable) that has occurred and is
then outstanding hereunder or under any of the other Loan Documents (Senior
Mezzanine) or under any of the Loan Documents (Mortgage), and (iv) Mezzanine
Borrower shall have deposited into the Senior Mezzanine Account all funds then
required to have been so deposited, then Mezzanine Lender shall transfer the Net
Excess Cash Flow from the Senior Mezzanine Account to (A) the Intermediate
Mezzanine Account, or (B) following the repayment of the Intermediate Mezzanine
Loan, to the Junior Mezzanine Account, or (C) following the repayment of the
Intermediate Mezzanine Loan and the Junior Mezzanine Loan, to the Mezzanine
Borrower's Account.
(d) In
the event that an Event of Default shall have occurred and is then continuing,
then, without notice from Mezzanine Lender, all Net Excess Cash Flow shall be
applied to reduce the outstanding Principal Amount of the Mezzanine Note. At
such time that the Event of Default shall no longer be continuing and provided
no other Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing under the
Mortgage Loan or Mezzanine Loan, then all Net Excess Cash Flow shall be
distributed in accordance with the provision of subsection (c) above.
(e) Mezzanine
Lender (so long as Mezzanine Lender is not the same entity as Mortgage Lender)
agrees to deliver to Mortgage Lender a monthly notice letter (the
Mezzanine Lender Monthly Debt Service Notice Letter) at least
five (5) Business Days prior to each Payment Date setting forth the Debt Service
(Senior Mezzanine) payable by Mezzanine Borrower on the first Payment Date
occurring after the date such notice is delivered.
(f) Mezzanine
Borrower hereby acknowledges that, pursuant to Section 3.1.5 of the Loan
Agreement (Mortgage), (i) to the extent the Mortgage Lender has received notice
from Mezzanine Lender that an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing
under the Loan Documents (Mezzanine) (a Mezzanine Loan Default
Notice) and until such time as Mortgage Lender receives a notice from
Mezzanine Lender that such Event of Default is no longer continuing (a
Mezzanine Loan Default Revocation Notice), the Mortgage
Borrower has irrevocably directed that Excess Cash Flow is to be deposited
directly into the Mezzanine Account for application as provided in this
Agreement (in lieu of transferring such funds to such accounts of the Mortgage
Borrower as the Mortgage Borrower may have so directed if the Mortgage Lender
had not received such notice from Mezzanine Lender), (ii) to the extent Mortgage
Lender has not received a Mezzanine Loan default notice but has received an
Intermediate Mezzanine Loan Default Notice and until such time as Mortgage
Lender receives an Intermediate Mezzanine Loan Default Revocation Notice,
Mortgage Borrower irrevocably directed that all Excess Cash Flow be deposited
directly into the Intermediate Mezzanine Account for application as provided in
the Intermediate Mezzanine Loan Agreement (in lieu of transferring such funds to
such accounts of Mortgage Borrower as Mortgage Borrower may have so directed if
Mortgage Lender had not received such notice from Intermediate Mezzanine
Lender), (iii) to the extent Mortgage Lender has not received a Mezzanine Loan
default notice but has received an Junior Mezzanine Loan Default Notice and
until such time as Mortgage Lender receives an Junior Mezzanine Loan Default
Revocation
33
Notice, Mortgage Borrower irrevocably directed that all Excess Cash
Flow be deposited directly into the Junior Mezzanine Account for application as
provided in the Junior Mezzanine Loan Agreement (in lieu of transferring such
funds to such accounts of Mortgage Borrower as Mortgage Borrower may have so
directed if Mortgage Lender had not received such notice from Junior Mezzanine
Lender), and (iv) the directions described in the preceding clauses (i), (ii),
or (iii) shall not be changed or terminated without the written consent of the
Mezzanine Lender. Notwithstanding any provision herein to the contrary, provided
no Event of Default has occurred or is continuing, there shall be disbursed to
Mezzanine Borrower the Proceeds of a Condemnation or Casualty remaining after
payment of all amounts to which Mortgage Lender, Intermediate Mezzanine Lender
and Mezzanine Lender are entitled. Mezzanine Borrower agrees that Mezzanine
Lender shall not be required to deliver to Mortgage Lender a Mezzanine Loan
Default Notice prior to the deposit of Proceeds into the Mezzanine
Account.

Mezzanine Lender accords its own property, it being understood that Mezzanine
Lender shall not be liable or responsible for any loss or damage to any of the

or liability or to institute or defend any suit in respect hereof, or to advance
any of its own monies. Mezzanine Borrower shall indemnify and hold Mezzanine
Lender, its employees and officers harmless from and against any loss, cost or
damage (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys' fees and
disbursements) incurred by Mezzanine Lender in connection with the transactions

with the terms hereof. Upon payment in full of the Indebtedness, this security
interest shall automatically terminate without further notice from any party and
Mezzanine Borrower shall be entitled to the return, upon its request, of such of
the Account Collateral (Senior Mezzanine) as shall not have been sold or

actions, reasonably required by Mezzanine Lender from time to time to confirm
the rights created or now or hereafter intended to be created under this

interest created or purported to be created thereunder, to protect and further
the validity, priority and enforceability of this Agreement and the other Loan

or more of the Loan Documents (Senior Mezzanine) to be encumbered by the Loan
Documents (Senior Mezzanine), or otherwise carry out the purposes of the Loan
Documents (Senior Mezzanine) and the transactions contemplated thereunder.
Mezzanine Borrower agrees that it shall, upon request, reasonably cooperate with
Mezzanine Lender in connection with any request by Mezzanine Lender to sever the
Mezzanine Note into two (2) or more separate substitute or component notes in an

in connection therewith (other than administrative costs and expenses of

amount of the Mortgage Loan is decreased, then (i) the Mezzanine Borrower shall
take all actions as are necessary to effect the "resizing" of the Loan and the
Mortgage Loan, (ii) the Mezzanine Borrower shall cause the Mortgage Borrower to
comply with its agreements to effect a "resizing", and (iii) Mezzanine Lender

Loan) such additional amount equal to the amount of the principal reduction of
the Loan provided that Mortgage Borrower and Mezzanine Borrower execute and
deliver any and all necessary amendments or modifications to the Loan Documents
(Mortgage) and the Loan Documents (Senior Mezzanine). In addition, Mezzanine
Borrower and Mezzanine Lender agree that if, in connection with the
Securitization, it is determined by the Rating Agencies that, if the principal
amount of the Loan were to be decreased and, as a result the principal amount of

a whole in a manner which is adverse to Mezzanine Borrower.

and deliver to Mezzanine Lender such documents, instruments, certificates,

Property), and to keep the Property free from any Lien (other than the lien of
the Loan Documents (Mortgage) and the Permitted Encumbrances), and shall in any

cause Mortgage Borrower promptly to pay any contested Imposition, Lien or claim
and the payment thereof shall not be deferred, if Mezzanine Lender or Mortgage
Borrower may be subject to civil or criminal damages as a result thereof. If
such action or proceeding is terminated or discontinued adversely to Mortgage

Lien.

allow any member to redeem a membership deposit prior to Mortgage Borrower
obtaining at least one new membership deposit in an amount at least equal to the
existing deposit to be redeemed (i.e., a 1:1 redemption program), or (ii) could
adversely affect the value of Mezzanine Lender's security for the Loan.
Mezzanine Borrower shall cause Mortgage Borrower to cause any membership
deposits which are not subject to a minimum of 1:1 redemption program to be held
in a separate interest bearing account and if requested by Lender, shall, at its
sole cost and expense promptly cause any such deposits to be held in an account
under the control of Lender. If Xxxxx consents to any membership or similar

make any corresponding modifications to the Loan Documents as are requested by
the Rating Agencies.

exercised or taken under the Interest Rate Cap Agreement (Senior Mezzanine), in
order to comply therewith, to perform the conditions thereof or to prevent or
remedy any default by Mezzanine Borrower thereunder or to enforce any of the
rights of Mezzanine Borrower thereunder. These powers-of-attorney are

of Mezzanine Lender, notify the Counterparty, or if applicable, any other
counterparty to the Interest Rate Cap Agreement (Senior Mezzanine), to make
payment and performance directly to Mezzanine Lender; extend the time of payment

action and exercise and execute any instrument which it may deem necessary or
advisable to accomplish the purposes hereof; provided, however, that Mezzanine
Lender shall not be permitted to take any action pursuant to said
power-of-attorney that would conflict with any limitation on Mezzanine Lender's
rights with respect to the Rate Cap Collateral (Senior Mezzanine). Without

of an Event of Default, shall have the right and power to receive, endorse and
collect all checks and other orders for the payment of money made payable to

obligation or default hereunder, Mezzanine Lender shall have the right, but not
the obligation, to perform any act or take any appropriate action, as it, in its
reasonable judgment, may deem necessary to protect the security of this
Agreement, to cure such Event of Default or to cause any term, covenant,
condition or obligation required under this Agreement or the Interest Rate Cap

powers, privileges and other remedies available to Mezzanine Lender against
Mezzanine Borrower and Guarantor under this Agreement or any of the other Loan
Documents (Senior Mezzanine) executed and delivered by, or applicable to,
Mezzanine Borrower or at law or in equity may be exercised by Mezzanine Lender
at any time and from time to time, whether or not all or any of the Indebtedness
shall be declared due and payable, and whether or not Mezzanine Lender shall
have commenced any foreclosure proceeding or other action for the enforcement of
its rights and remedies under any of the Loan Documents (Senior Mezzanine) with
respect to the Collateral. Any such actions taken by Mezzanine Lender shall be
cumulative and concurrent and may be pursued
86
independently, singly, successively, together or otherwise, at such
time and in such order as Mezzanine Lender may determine in its sole discretion,
to the fullest extent permitted by law, without impairing or otherwise affecting
the other rights and remedies of Mezzanine Lender permitted by law, equity or
contract or as set forth herein or in the other Loan Documents (Senior
Mezzanine). Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Mezzanine Borrower
agrees that if an Event of Default is continuing (i) Mezzanine Lender shall not
be subject to any one action or election of remedies law or rule and (ii) all
liens and other rights, remedies or privileges provided to Mezzanine Lender
shall remain in full force and effect until Mezzanine Lender has exhausted all
of its remedies against the Collateral and this Agreement and the Pledge have
been foreclosed, sold and/or otherwise realized upon in satisfaction of the
Indebtedness or the Indebtedness has been paid in full.
(b) Upon
the occurrence of any Event of Default, Mezzanine Lender may, but without any
obligation to do so and without notice to or demand on Mezzanine Borrower and
without releasing Mezzanine Borrower from any obligation hereunder, take any
action to cure such Event of Default. Mezzanine Lender may appear in, defend, or
bring any action or proceeding to protect its interests in the Collateral or to
foreclose its security interest under this Agreement and the Pledge or under any
of the other Loan Documents (Senior Mezzanine) or collect the
Indebtedness.
(c) Upon
the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, with respect
to the Account Collateral (Senior Mezzanine), the Mezzanine Lender may:
(i) without
notice to Mezzanine Borrower, except as required by law, and at any time or from
time to time, charge, set-off and otherwise apply all or any part of the Account
Collateral (Senior Mezzanine) against the Obligations (Senior Mezzanine) or any
part thereof;
(ii) in
Mezzanine Lender's sole discretion, at any time and from time to time, exercise
any and all rights and remedies available to it under this Agreement, and/or as
a secured party under the UCC;
(iii) demand,
collect, take possession of or receipt for, settle, compromise, adjust, xxx for,
foreclose or realize upon the Account Collateral (Senior Mezzanine) (or any
portion thereof) as Mezzanine Lender may determine in its sole discretion;
and
(iv) take
all other actions provided in, or contemplated by, this Agreement.
(d) With
respect to Mezzanine Borrower, the Account Collateral (Senior Mezzanine), the
Rate Cap Collateral (Senior Mezzanine) and the Collateral, nothing contained
herein or in any other Loan Document (Senior Mezzanine) shall be construed as
requiring Mezzanine Lender to resort to the Collateral for the satisfaction of
any of the Indebtedness, and Mezzanine Lender may seek satisfaction out of the
87
Collateral or any part thereof, in its absolute discretion in respect
of the Indebtedness. In addition, Mezzanine Lender shall have the right from
time to time to partially foreclose this Agreement and the Pledge in any manner
and for any amounts secured by this Agreement or the Pledge then due and payable
as determined by Mezzanine Lender in its sole discretion including, without
limitation, the following circumstances: (i) in the event Mezzanine Borrower
defaults beyond any applicable grace period in the payment of one or more
scheduled payments of principal or interest, Mezzanine Lender may foreclose this
Agreement and the Pledge to recover such delinquent payments, or (ii) in the
event Mezzanine Lender elects to accelerate less than the entire outstanding
principal balance of the Loan, Mezzanine Lender may foreclose this Agreement and
the Pledge to recover so much of the principal balance of the Loan as Mezzanine
Lender may accelerate and such other sums secured by this Agreement or the
Pledge as Mezzanine Lender may elect. Notwithstanding one or more partial
foreclosures, the Collateral shall remain subject to this Agreement and the
Pledge to secure payment of sums secured by this Agreement and the Pledge and
not previously recovered.
Section
17.3 Remedies Cumulative;
Waivers
The rights, powers and remedies of Mezzanine Lender under this
Agreement and the Loan Documents (Senior Mezzanine) shall be cumulative and not
exclusive of any other right, power or remedy which Mezzanine Lender may have
against Mezzanine Borrower pursuant to this Agreement or the other Loan
Documents (Senior Mezzanine), or existing at law or in equity or otherwise.
Mezzanine Lender's rights, powers and remedies may be pursued singly,
concurrently or otherwise, at such time and in such order as Mezzanine Lender
may determine in Mezzanine Lender's sole discretion. No delay or omission to
exercise any remedy, right or power accruing upon an Event of Default shall
impair any such remedy, right or power or shall be construed as a waiver
thereof, but any such remedy, right or power may be exercised from time to time
and as often as may be deemed expedient. A waiver of one Default or Event of
Default with respect to Mezzanine Borrower or any Guarantor shall not be
construed to be a waiver of any subsequent Default or Event of Default by
Mezzanine Borrower or any Guarantor or to impair any remedy, right or power
consequent thereon.
Section
17.4 Costs of Collection
In the event that after an Event of Default: (i) the Mezzanine Note

attorney for collection or enforcement or is collected or enforced through any

or any of the Loan Documents (Senior Mezzanine); or (iii) an attorney is
retained to protect or enforce the lien or any of the terms of this Agreement,
the Pledge or any of the Loan Documents (Senior Mezzanine); then Mezzanine

expenses actually incurred in connection therewith, including costs of appeal,
together with interest on any judgment obtained by Mezzanine Lender at the
Default Rate.

Proceeds

with respect to the realization upon any of the Collateral, such monies shall be
distributed for application as follows:
(a) First,
to the payment of, or (as the case may be) the reimbursement of, Mezzanine
Lender for or in respect of all reasonable costs, expenses, disbursements and
losses which shall have been incurred or sustained by Mezzanine Lender to
protect or preserve the Collateral or in connection with the collection of such
monies by Mezzanine Lender (including without limitation, enforcement costs),
for the exercise, protection or enforcement by Mezzanine Lender of all or any of
the rights, remedies, powers and privileges of Mezzanine Lender under this
Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents (Senior Mezzanine) or in respect of
the Collateral or in support of any provision of adequate indemnity to Mezzanine
Lender against any taxes or liens which by law shall have, or may have, priority

Mezzanine Lender, which payment or proceeds or any part thereof are subsequently

Borrower fails to pay, to reimburse, Mezzanine Lender upon receipt of written
notice from Mezzanine Lender for all reasonable costs and expenses (including
reasonable attorneys' fees and disbursements) incurred by Mezzanine Lender in
connection with (i) the preparation, negotiation, execution and delivery of this

gross negligence, illegal acts, fraud or willful misconduct of Mezzanine Lender
or (B) in connection with any action taken under Article IV, other than the
Mezzanine Borrower's internal administrative costs. Any cost and expenses due
and payable to Mezzanine Lender may be paid from any amounts in the Senior

(b) Subject
to the non-recourse provisions of Section 18.1, Mezzanine Borrower shall
protect, indemnify and save harmless Mezzanine Lender, and all officers,
directors, stockholders, members, partners, employees, agents, successors and
assigns
95
thereof (collectively, the Indemnified Parties) from
and against all liabilities, obligations, claims, damages, penalties, causes of
action, costs and expenses (including all reasonable attorneys' fees and
expenses actually incurred) imposed upon or incurred by or asserted against the
Indemnified Parties, the Collateral or the Property or any part of its interest
therein, by reason of the occurrence or existence of any of the following (to
the extent Proceeds payable on account of the following shall be inadequate; it
being understood that in no event will the Indemnified Parties be required to
actually pay or incur any costs or expenses as a condition to the effectiveness
of the foregoing indemnity) prior to (i) the acceptance by Mezzanine Lender or
its designee of a deed-in-lieu of foreclosure with respect to the Collateral, or
(ii) an Indemnified Party or its designee taking possession or control of the
Collateral or (iii) the foreclosure of the Pledge, except to the extent caused
by the willful misconduct or gross negligence of the Indemnified Parties (other
than such willful misconduct or gross negligence imputed to the Indemnified
Parties because of their interest in the Property): (1) ownership of Mezzanine
Borrower's interest in the Property, or any interest therein, or receipt of any
Rents or other sum therefrom, (2) any accident, injury to or death of any
persons or loss of or damage to Property occurring on or about the Property or
any Appurtenances thereto, (3) any design, construction, operation, repair,
maintenance, use, non-use or condition of the Property or Appurtenances thereto,
including claims or penalties arising from violation of any Legal Requirement or
Insurance Requirement, as well as any claim based on any patent or latent
defect, whether or not discoverable by Mezzanine Lender, any claim the insurance
as to which is inadequate, and any Environmental Claim, (4) any Default under
this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents (Senior Mezzanine) or any
failure on the part of Mezzanine Borrower to perform or comply or to cause
Mortgage Borrower to perform or comply with any of the terms of any Lease within
the applicable notice or grace periods, (5) any performance of any labor or
services or the furnishing of any materials or other Property in respect of the
Property or any part thereof, (6) any negligence or tortious act or omission on
the part of Mezzanine Borrower or any of its agents, contractors, servants,
employees, sublessees, licensees or invitees, (7) any contest referred to in
Section 7.3 of the Loan Agreement (Mortgage), (8) any obligation or
undertaking relating to the performance or discharge of any of the terms,
covenants and conditions of the landlord contained in the Leases, or (9) except
as may be expressly limited herein, the presence at, in or under the Property or
the Improvements of any Hazardous Materials in violation of any Environmental
Law. Any amounts the Indemnified Parties are legally entitled to receive under
this Section which are not paid within fifteen (15) Business Days after
written demand therefor by the Indemnified Parties or Mezzanine Lender, setting
forth in reasonable detail the amount of such demand and the basis therefor,
shall bear interest from the date of demand at the Default Rate, and shall,
together with such interest, be part of the Indebtedness and secured by this
Agreement and the Pledge. In case any action, suit or proceeding is brought
against the Indemnified Parties by reason of any such occurrence, Mezzanine
Borrower shall at Mezzanine Borrower's expense resist and defend such action,
suit or proceeding or will cause the same to be resisted and defended by counsel
at Mezzanine Borrower's reasonable expense for the insurer of the liability or
by counsel designated by Mezzanine Borrower (unless reasonably disapproved by
Mezzanine Lender promptly after Mezzanine Lender has been notified of such
counsel); provided, however, that nothing
96
herein shall compromise the right of Mezzanine Lender (or any
Indemnified Party) to appoint its own counsel at Mezzanine Borrower's expense
for its defense with respect to any action which in its reasonable opinion
presents a conflict or potential conflict between Mezzanine Lender and Mezzanine
Borrower that would make such separate representation advisable; provided
further that if Mezzanine Lender shall have appointed separate counsel pursuant
to the foregoing, Mezzanine Borrower shall not be responsible for the expense of
additional separate counsel of any Indemnified Party unless in the reasonable
opinion of Mezzanine Lender a conflict or potential conflict exists between such
Indemnified Party and Mezzanine Lender. So long as Mezzanine Borrower is
resisting and defending such action, suit or proceeding as provided above in a
prudent and commercially reasonable manner, Mezzanine Lender and the Indemnified
Parties shall not be entitled to settle such action, suit or proceeding without
Mezzanine Borrower's consent which shall not be unreasonably withheld or
delayed, and claim the benefit of this Section with respect to such
action, suit or proceeding and Mezzanine Lender agrees that it will not settle
any such action, suit or proceeding without the consent of Mezzanine Borrower;
provided, however, that if Mezzanine Borrower is not diligently
defending such action, suit or proceeding in a prudent and commercially
reasonable manner as provided above, and Mezzanine Lender has provided Mezzanine
Borrower with thirty (30) days' prior written notice, or shorter period if
mandated by the requirements of applicable law, and opportunity to correct such
determination, Mezzanine Lender may settle such action, suit or proceeding and
claim the benefit of this Section 19.12 with respect to settlement of
such action, suit or proceeding. Any Indemnified Party will give Mezzanine
Borrower prompt notice after such Indemnified Party obtains actual knowledge of
any potential claim by such Indemnified Party for indemnification hereunder. The
Indemnified Parties shall not settle or compromise any action, proceeding or
claim as to which it is indemnified hereunder without notice to Mezzanine
Borrower.

any assignor of such documents, and no such unrelated counterclaim or defense
shall be interposed or asserted by Mezzanine Borrower in any action or
proceeding brought by any such assignee upon such documents and any such right
to interpose or assert any such unrelated offset, counterclaim or defense in any
such action or proceeding is hereby expressly waived by Mezzanine
Borrower.

any time or times, heretofore or hereafter, any different than the liability of
Mezzanine Lender hereunder. In addition, no assignee shall have at any time or
times hereafter any personal liability, directly or indirectly, under or in
connection with or secured by any agreement, lease, instrument, encumbrance,
claim or right affecting or relating to the Property or to which the Property is

hereunder. The limitation of liability provided in this Section 19.15 is

applicable to the assignee provided by law or by any other contract, agreement
or instrument, and (ii) shall not apply to any assignee's gross negligence or
willful misconduct.

19.16 No Joint Venture or Partnership; No Third
Party Beneficiaries
(a) Mezzanine
Borrower and Mezzanine Lender intend that the relationships created hereunder

Borrower and Mezzanine Lender nor to grant Mezzanine Lender any interest in the
Collateral other than that of Mezzanine Lender.
(b) This
Agreement and the other Loan Documents (Senior Mezzanine) are solely for the
benefit of Mezzanine Lender and Mezzanine Borrower and nothing contained in this
Agreement or the other Loan Documents (Senior Mezzanine) shall be deemed to
confer upon anyone other than Mezzanine Lender and Mezzanine Borrower any right
to insist upon or to enforce the performance or observance of any of the
obligations contained herein or therein. All conditions to the obligations of
Mezzanine Lender to make the Loan hereunder are imposed solely and exclusively
for the benefit of Mezzanine Lender and no other Person shall have standing to
require satisfaction of such conditions in accordance with their terms or be
entitled to assume that Mezzanine Lender will refuse to make the Loan in the
absence of strict compliance with any or all thereof and no other Person shall
under any circumstances be deemed to be a beneficiary of such conditions, any or
all of which may be freely waived in whole or in part by Mezzanine Lender if, in
Mezzanine Lender's sole discretion, Mezzanine Lender deems it advisable or
desirable to do so.
Section
19.17 Publicity
All news releases, publicity or advertising by Mezzanine Borrower or
its Affiliates through any media intended to reach the general public which

Section
19.18 Waiver of Marshalling of

itself and its successors and assigns, waives all rights to a marshalling of the
assets of Mezzanine Borrower, Mezzanine Borrower's shareholders and others with
interests in Mezzanine Borrower and of the Collateral, and agrees not to assert
any right under any laws pertaining to the marshalling of assets, the sale in
inverse order of alienation, homestead exemption, the administration of estates
of decedents, or any other matters whatsoever to defeat, reduce or affect the
right of Mezzanine Lender under the Loan Documents (Senior Mezzanine) to a sale
of the Collateral for the collection of the Indebtedness without any prior or
different resort for collection or of the right of Mezzanine Lender to the
payment of the Indebtedness out of the net proceeds of the Collateral in
preference to every other claimant whatsoever.
Section
19.19 Waiver of Counterclaim and other
Actions
Mezzanine Borrower hereby expressly and unconditionally waives, in
connection with any suit, action or proceeding brought by Mezzanine Lender on
this Agreement, the Mezzanine Note, the Pledge or any Loan Document (Senior
Mezzanine), any and every right it may have to (i) interpose any counterclaim
therein (other than a counterclaim which can only be asserted in the suit,
action or proceeding brought by Mezzanine Lender on this Agreement, the
Mezzanine Note, the Pledge or any Loan Document (Senior Mezzanine) and cannot be
maintained in a separate action) and (ii) have any such suit, action or
proceeding consolidated with any other or separate suit, action or
proceeding.
Section
19.20 Conflict; Construction of Documents;
Reliance
In the event of any conflict between the provisions of this Agreement
and any of the other Loan Documents (Senior Mezzanine), the provisions of this
Agreement shall control. The parties hereto acknowledge that they were
represented by competent counsel in connection with the negotiation, drafting
and execution of the Loan Documents (Senior Mezzanine) and that such Loan
Documents (Senior Mezzanine) shall not be subject to the principle of construing
their meaning against the party which drafted same. Mezzanine Borrower
acknowledges that, with respect to the Loan, Mezzanine 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
Mezzanine Lender or any parent, subsidiary or Affiliate of Mezzanine Lender.
Mezzanine 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 (Senior Mezzanine) or any other agreements or instruments which govern
the Loan by virtue of the ownership by it or any parent, subsidiary or Affiliate
of Mezzanine Lender of any equity interest any of them may acquire in Mezzanine
Borrower, and Mezzanine Borrower hereby irrevocably waives the right to raise
any defense or take any action on the basis of the foregoing with respect to
Mezzanine Lender's exercise of any such rights or remedies.
99
Mezzanine Borrower acknowledges that Mezzanine 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 Mezzanine Borrower or its Affiliates.
