(a) Subject to the provisions of this Section 2.2, interest on the outstanding principal balance of Component A shall accrue from (and including) the Closing Date to the last day of the Interest Period during which the Maturity Date occurs at the Floating Interest Rate. Borrower shall pay to Lender on each Payment Date the interest accrued (or to be accrued) on the outstanding principal balance of Component A for the related Interest Period.

(b) Subject to the provisions of this Section 2.2, interest on the outstanding principal balance of Component B shall accrue from (and including) the Closing Date to (but excluding) the Maturity Date at the applicable Fixed Interest Rate.

2.2.3 Determination of Interest Rate. (a) Subject to the terms and conditions of this Section 2.2.3, Component A of the Loan shall bear interest at the Floating Interest Rate. The Floating Interest Rate applicable to any related Interest Period shall be determined by Lender as set forth herein; provided, however, that LIBOR for the Interest Period commencing on the Closing Date through and including November 4, 2013 shall be 0.172%.

(b) In the event that Lender shall have reasonably determined that by reason of circumstances affecting the interbank Eurodollar market LIBOR cannot be determined as provided in the definition of LIBOR as set forth herein, then Lender shall forthwith give notice thereof by telephone of such fact, confirmed in writing, to Borrower at least one (1) Business Day prior to the Determination Date. If such notice is given, Component A of the Loan shall be converted, from and after the first day of the next succeeding Interest Period, to a Prime Rate Loan bearing interest based on the Prime Rate in effect on the related Determination Date.

(c) If, pursuant to the terms of Section 2.2.3(b) above, Component A of the Loan has been converted to a Prime Rate Loan but thereafter LIBOR can again be determined as provided in the definition of LIBOR as set forth herein, Lender may give notice thereof to Borrower and convert the Prime Rate Loan back to a Floating Interest Rate Loan by delivering to Borrower notice of such conversion no later than 11:00 a.m. (New York City Time), three (3) Business Days prior to the next succeeding Determination Date, and the Loan shall be converted to a Floating Interest Rate Loan from, after and including the first day of the next succeeding Interest Period. Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, in no event shall Borrower have the right to elect to convert a Floating Interest Rate Loan to a Prime Rate Loan.

(d) Intentionally Omitted.

(e) If the adoption of 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

 

-48-


maintain a Floating Interest Rate Loan as contemplated hereunder, (i) the obligation of Lender hereunder to make a Floating Interest Rate Loan or to convert a Prime Rate Loan to a Floating Interest Rate Loan shall be canceled forthwith and (ii) any outstanding Floating Interest Rate Loan shall be converted automatically to a Prime Rate Loan on the first day of the next succeeding Interest Period 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, without limitation, any interest or fees payable by Lender to lenders of funds obtained by it in order to make or maintain the Floating Interest Rate Loan hereunder. Lender’s notice of such costs, as certified to Borrower, shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

(f) 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:

(i) 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 LIBOR hereunder;

(ii) 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 would have under the terms of the Loan Documents 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;

(iii) shall hereafter subject any Lender to any Section 2.7 Taxes (other than (A) Indemnified Taxes, (B) Section 2.7 Taxes described in clauses (b) through (d) of the definition of Excluded Taxes and (C) Connection Income Taxes) on its loans, loan principal, letters of credit, commitments, or other obligations, or its deposits, reserves, other liabilities or capital attributable thereto; or

(iv) shall hereafter impose on Lender any other condition (other than Section 2.7 Taxes);

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 in its reasonable discretion. If Lender becomes entitled to claim any additional amounts pursuant to this Section 2.2.3(f), Lender shall provide Borrower with not less than thirty (30) 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

 

-49-


Borrower shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error. Subject to Section 2.2.3(h) hereof, this provision shall survive payment of the Note and the satisfaction of all other obligations of Borrower under this Agreement and the Loan Documents.

(g) Lender shall not be entitled to claim compensation pursuant to this Section 2.2.3 for any increased cost or reduction in amounts received or receivable hereunder, or any reduced rate of return, which was incurred or which accrued prior to the earlier of (i) ninety (90) days before the date Lender notified Borrower of the change in law or other circumstance on which such claim for compensation is based and delivered to Borrower a written statement setting forth in reasonable detail the basis for the calculation of the additional amounts owed to Lender under this Section 2.2.3, which statement shall be conclusive and binding on all parties absent manifest error and (ii) any earlier date provided Lender notified Borrower of such change in law or circumstance and delivered the written statement referenced in clause (i) within ninety (90) days after Lender received written notice of such change in law or circumstance.

(h) Borrower agrees to indemnify Lender and to hold Lender harmless from any loss or expense which Lender sustains or incurs as a consequence of (i) any default by Borrower in payment of the principal of or interest on a Floating Interest Rate Loan, including, without limitation, any such loss or expense arising from interest or fees payable by Lender to third-party lenders of funds obtained by it in order to maintain a Floating Interest Rate Loan hereunder, (ii) any prepayment (whether voluntary or mandatory) of the Floating Interest Rate Loan on a day that (A) is not a Payment Date or (B) is a Payment Date if Borrower did not give the prior written notice of such prepayment required pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, including, without limitation, such loss or expense arising from interest or fees payable by Lender to third-party lenders of funds obtained by it in order to maintain the Floating Interest Rate Loan hereunder and (iii) the conversion pursuant to the terms hereof of the Floating Interest Rate Loan to the Prime Rate Loan on a date other than the Payment Date, including, without limitation, such loss or expenses arising from interest or fees payable by Lender to third-party lenders of funds obtained by it in order to maintain a Floating Interest Rate Loan hereunder (the amounts referred to in clauses (i), (ii) and (iii) are herein referred to collectively as the “Breakage Costs”); provided, however, Borrower shall not indemnify Lender from any loss or expense arising from Lender’s willful misconduct or gross negligence. This provision shall survive payment of the Note in full and the satisfaction of all other obligations of Borrower under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.

2.2.4 Additional Costs. Lender will use reasonable efforts (consistent with legal and regulatory restrictions) to maintain the availability of the Floating Interest Rate Loan and to avoid or reduce any increased or additional costs payable by Borrower under Section 2.2.3, including, if requested by Borrower, a transfer or assignment of the Loan to a branch, office or Affiliate of Lender in another jurisdiction, or a redesignation of its lending office with respect to the Loan, in order to maintain the availability of the Floating Interest Rate Loan or to avoid or reduce such increased or additional costs, provided that the transfer or assignment or redesignation (a) would not result in any additional costs, expenses or risk to Lender that are not reimbursed by Borrower and (b) would not be disadvantageous in any other respect to Lender (including the effect on any Securitization) as determined by Lender in its reasonable discretion.

 

-50-


2.2.5 Default Rate. In the event that, and for so long as, any Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the outstanding principal balance of the Loan and, to the extent permitted by law, all accrued and unpaid interest in respect of the Loan and any other amounts due pursuant to the Loan Documents, shall accrue interest at the Default Rate, calculated from the date such payment was due without regard to any grace or cure periods contained herein. If any Component is not repaid on the applicable Maturity Date for such Component, default interest will accrue from and after the applicable Maturity Date for such Component and will be calculated by multiplying (a) the actual number of days elapsed from the date such payment was due for which the calculation is being made by (b) a daily rate based on the applicable Default Rate and a three hundred sixty (360) day year by (c) the outstanding principal balance of each Component.

2.2.6 Usury Savings. This Agreement, the Note and the other Loan Documents are subject to the express condition that at no time shall Borrower be obligated or required to pay interest on the principal balance of the Loan at a rate which could subject Lender to either civil or criminal liability as a result of being in excess of the Maximum Legal Rate. If, by the terms of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, Borrower is at any time required or obligated to pay interest on the principal balance due hereunder at a rate in excess of the Maximum Legal Rate, the Interest 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 hereunder.

2.2.7 Interest Rate Cap Agreement. (a) Prior to or contemporaneously with the Closing Date, Borrower shall, with respect to Component A, enter into an Interest Rate Cap Agreement with a LIBOR strike price no greater than the Strike Price. The Interest Rate Cap Agreement (i) shall at all times be in a form and substance reasonably acceptable to Lender with respect to such matters not otherwise set forth in this Agreement, (ii) shall at all times be with an Acceptable Counterparty, (iii) shall direct such Acceptable Counterparty to deposit directly into the Cash Management Account any amounts due Borrower under such Interest Rate Cap Agreement so long as any portion of the Debt related to Component A exists, provided that the Debt shall be deemed to exist if the Properties are transferred by judicial or non-judicial foreclosure or deed in lieu thereof, (iv) shall be for a period equal to the then existing term of Component A of the Loan and (v) shall at all times have a notional amount equal to or greater than the then outstanding principal balance of Component A of the Loan and shall at all times provide for the applicable Strike Price. Borrower shall collaterally assign to Lender, pursuant to the Collateral Assignment of Interest Rate Cap Agreement (the “Assignment of Interest Rate Cap Agreement”), all of its right, title and interest to receive any and all payments under the Interest Rate Cap Agreement, and shall deliver to Lender an executed counterpart of such Interest Rate Cap Agreement (which shall, by its terms, authorize the assignment to Lender and require that payments be deposited directly into the Cash Management Account) and shall notify the Acceptable Counterparty of such assignment.

(b) Borrower shall comply with all of its obligations under the terms and provisions of the Interest Rate Cap Agreement. All amounts paid by the Acceptable Counterparty under the Interest Rate Cap Agreement to Borrower or Lender shall be directly deposited immediately into the Cash Management Account or, during the continuance of an

(d) In the event that Borrower fails to purchase and deliver to Lender the Interest Rate Cap Agreement or fails to maintain the Interest Rate Cap Agreement in accordance with the terms and provisions of this Agreement, Lender may purchase the Interest Rate Cap Agreement and the cost incurred by Lender in purchasing such Interest Rate Cap Agreement shall be paid by Borrower to Lender with interest thereon at the Default Rate from the date such cost was incurred by Lender until such cost is reimbursed by Borrower to Lender.

(e) In connection with the Interest Rate Cap Agreement, Borrower shall obtain and deliver to Lender (a) a resolution/consent, as applicable, of the Acceptable Counterparty authorizing the delivery of the Interest Rate Cap Agreement acceptable to Lender, and (b) an opinion from counsel (which counsel may be in house counsel for the Acceptable Counterparty) for the Acceptable Counterparty (upon which Lender and its successors and assigns may rely) which shall provide, in relevant part, that:

(i) the Acceptable Counterparty is duly organized, validly existing, and in good standing under the laws of its jurisdiction of incorporation or formation and has the organizational power and authority to execute and deliver, and to perform its obligations under, the Interest Rate Cap Agreement;

(ii) the execution and delivery of the Interest Rate Cap Agreement by the Acceptable Counterparty, and any other agreement which the Acceptable Counterparty has executed and delivered pursuant thereto, and the performance of its obligations thereunder have been and remain duly authorized by all necessary action and do not contravene any provision of its certificate of incorporation or by laws (or equivalent organizational documents) or any law, regulation or contractual restriction binding on or affecting it or its property;

(iii) all consents, authorizations and approvals required for the execution and delivery by the Acceptable Counterparty of the Interest Rate Cap Agreement, and any other agreement which the Acceptable Counterparty has executed and delivered pursuant thereto, and the performance of its obligations thereunder have been obtained and remain in full force and effect, all conditions thereof have been duly complied with, and no other action by, and no notice to or filing with any governmental authority or regulatory body is required for such execution, delivery or performance; and

2.3.4 Late Payment Charge. If any principal, interest or any other sums due under the Loan Documents are not paid by Borrower on or prior to the date on which it is due (other than the principal amount due on the applicable Maturity Date), Borrower shall pay to Lender upon demand an amount equal to the lesser of three percent (3%) of such unpaid sum or the Maximum Legal Rate 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.

Section 2.4 Prepayments.

2.4.1 Voluntary Prepayments. Borrower may prepay the Loan in whole or in part provided, that (a) no Event of Default is continuing as of the date of the applicable prepayment; (b) Borrower gives Lender not less than ten (10) days’ prior written notice of the amount of the Loan that Borrower intends to prepay and the intended date of prepayment which notice shall be revocable by Borrower at any time (the “Prepayment Notice”); and (c) Borrower pays Lender, in addition to the outstanding principal amount of the Loan to be prepaid, (i) all interest that would have accrued on the amount of the Loan to be paid through and including the last day of each applicable Interest Period related to the Payment Date following the date of such prepayment or, if such prepayment occurs on a Payment Date, any interest that would have accrued through and including the last day of each Interest Period related to such Payment Date; (ii) all other sums then due and payable under this Agreement, the Note, and the other Loan Documents, including, but not limited to the actual Breakage Costs (if any) and all of Lender’s reasonable, actual out-of-pocket costs and expenses (including reasonable attorney’s fees and disbursements) incurred by Lender in connection with such prepayment of the Loan and any actual out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred in connection with a rescinded or extended Prepayment Notice and (iii) the applicable Prepayment Premium.

-54-


hereunder in an amount equal to one hundred percent (100%) of such Net Proceeds up to the Adjusted Release Amount for such Individual Property and any Net Proceeds in excess of the Adjusted Release Amount shall be disbursed to Borrower, it being understood that any such mandatory payments of principal in an amount up to the Adjusted Release Amount for such Individual Property made pursuant to this Section 2.4.2 shall be applied in accordance with Section 2.4.4. After the occurrence of and during the continuance of an Event of Default, Lender may apply such Net Proceeds to the Debt (until paid in full) in any order or priority in its sole discretion. Other than during the continuance of an Event of Default, no Prepayment Premium or other premium, penalty or charge shall be due in connection with any prepayment made pursuant to this Section 2.4.2. The Adjusted Release Amount with respect to such Individual Property shall be reduced by an amount equal to the principal portion of such prepayment applied to the Loan; provided, that nothing herein shall be construed to reduce the aggregate Adjusted Release Amount for any Individual Property required to be paid to Lender prior to obtaining a release of the applicable Individual Property. Lender shall provide to Borrower, upon ten (10) days’ prior notice, (i) a release of the Individual Property (and any related Collateral) if (A) at any time the Adjusted Release Amount is reduced to zero, together with such additional documents and instruments evidencing or confirming the release as the Borrower shall reasonably request, or (B) Lender is required to deliver such release pursuant to a court order issued in connection with a Condemnation or (ii) a release of the portion of an Individual Property that is subject to a Condemnation.

(b) In connection with any release under this Section 2.4.2, in the event that such release would result in the release of all Individual Properties held by an Individual Borrower (each an “Unencumbered Borrower”), such Unencumbered Borrower shall be released by Lender from the obligations of the Loan Documents, except with respect to those obligations that are expressly provided herein to survive repayment of the Loan, and shall no longer be considered an Individual Borrower for purposes of this Agreement. In connection with a release or cancellation of each Unencumbered Borrower, Lender agrees to deliver (i) a UCC-3 Financing Statement termination or amendment releasing Lender’s security interest in the collateral pledged to Lender relating to each Unencumbered Borrower, and (ii) instruments executed by Lender reasonably necessary to evidence the release or cancellation of each Unencumbered Borrower from its obligations under the Loan Documents. All reasonable costs and expenses incurred by Lender in connection with such release shall be paid by Borrower.

2.4.3 Prepayments After Default. If, during the continuance of an Event of Default, payment of all or any part of the Debt is tendered by Borrower or otherwise recovered by Lender (including, without limitation, through application of any Reserve Funds), such tender or recovery shall (a) include interest at the Default Rate on the outstanding principal amount of the Loan through the last calendar day of each Interest Period within which such tender or recovery occurs and (b) be deemed a voluntary prepayment by Borrower and shall in all instances include (i) an amount equal to the Prepayment Premium, if any, and (ii) all interest which would have accrued on the amount of the Loan to be paid through the end of each related Interest Period. After the occurrence of and during the continuance of an Event of Default, Lender may apply such payment Proceeds to the Debt (until paid in full) in any order or priority in its sole discretion.

 

-55-


2.4.4 Application of Principal Payments to Components. Any mandatory prepayment of principal of the Loan made pursuant to Section 2.4.2 hereof and any voluntary prepayments of the principal of the Loan pursuant to Section 2.4.1 hereof or otherwise, shall be applied as follows: (a) first, to the reduction of Component A, until reduced to zero; (b) second, to the reduction of Component B-1, until reduced to zero; and (c) third, to the reduction of the outstanding principal balance of Component B-2, until reduced to zero.

2.4.5 Debt Yield Cure. In order to achieve the applicable Required Debt Yield to effect a Debt Yield Cure, Borrower may prepay a portion of the outstanding principal balance of the Loan in the amount necessary to cause the Debt Yield to equal or exceed the applicable Required Debt Yield (each such prepayment, a “Debt Yield Cure Payment”), provided that (a) no Event of Default is then continuing, and (b) in each case, Borrower pays Lender, in addition to the outstanding principal amount of the Loan to be prepaid, (i) all interest that would have accrued on the amount of Loan to be paid through and including the last day of each applicable Interest Period related to the Payment Date, or, if such prepayment occurs on a Payment Date, for each applicable Interest Period related to such Payment Date; (ii) all other sums then due and payable under this Agreement, the Note, and the other Loan Documents, including, but not limited to the Breakage Costs and all of Lender’s reasonable costs and expenses (including reasonable attorney’s fees and disbursements) incurred by Lender in connection with such prepayment; (iii) if such prepayment is made prior to the First Call Protection End Date or the Second Call Protection End Date, the applicable Prepayment Premium.

Section 2.5 Release of Property. Except as set forth in this Section 2.5 or Section 2.4.2, no repayment or prepayment of all or any portion of the Loan shall cause, give rise to a right to require, or otherwise result in, the release of any Lien of any Mortgage on any Individual Property. For the avoidance of doubt, any prepayment of the Loan in connection with a Condemnation shall be governed solely by Section 2.4.2 and Section 6.3 hereof.

2.5.1 Release of all Properties Upon Payment in Full.

Section 2.7 Withholding Taxes.

(a) Payments Free of Taxes. Any and all payments by or on account of any obligation of the Borrower under any Loan Document shall be made without deduction or withholding for any Section 2.7 Taxes, except as required by applicable law. If any applicable law (as determined in the good faith discretion of the Borrower) requires the deduction or withholding of any Section 2.7 Tax from any such payment by the Borrower, then the Borrower shall be entitled to make such deduction or withholding and shall timely pay the full amount deducted or withheld to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law and, if such Section 2.7 Tax is an Indemnified Tax, then the sum payable by the Borrower shall be increased as necessary so that after such deduction or withholding has been made (including such deductions and withholdings applicable to additional sums payable under this Section 2.7(a)) the Lender receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deduction or withholding been made. For the purposes of this Section 2.7, the term “Loan Documents” shall not include the Interest Rate Cap Agreement, the Assignment of Interest Rate Cap Agreement or any other document with respect thereto, and the term “applicable law” shall include FATCA.

(b) Payment of Other Taxes by the Borrower. The Borrower shall timely pay to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law any Other Taxes.

(c) Indemnification by the Borrower. The Borrower shall indemnify Lender, within 10 days after demand therefor, for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes (including Indemnified Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section) payable or paid by such Lender or required to be withheld or deducted from a payment to such Lender and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to the Borrower by a Lender shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

(d) Evidence of Payments. As soon as practicable after any payment of Section 2.7 Taxes by the Borrower to a Governmental Authority pursuant to this Section 2.7, the Borrower shall deliver to the Lender the original or a certified copy of a receipt issued by such Governmental Authority evidencing such payment, a copy of the return reporting such payment or other evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory to the Lender.

(e) Status of Lenders. (i) Any Lender that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding Section 2.7 Tax with respect to payments made under any Loan Document shall deliver to the Borrower, at the time or times reasonably requested by the Borrower, such properly completed and executed documentation reasonably requested by the Borrower as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate of withholding. In addition, any Lender, if reasonably requested by the Borrower, shall deliver such other documentation prescribed by applicable law or reasonably requested by the Borrower as will enable the Borrower to determine whether or not such Lender is subject to backup withholding or information reporting requirements. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the preceding two sentences, the completion, execution and submission of such documentation (other than such documentation set forth in Section 2.7(e)(ii)(A), (ii)(B) and (ii)(D) below) shall

 

-70-


not be required if in the Lender’s reasonable judgment such completion, execution or submission would subject such Lender to any material unreimbursed cost or expense or would materially prejudice the legal or commercial position of such Lender.

(ii) Without limiting the generality of the foregoing,

(A) any Lender that is a U.S. Person shall deliver to the Borrower on or prior to the date on which such Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Borrower), executed originals of IRS Form W-9 certifying that such Lender is exempt from U.S. federal backup withholding tax;

(B) any Foreign Lender shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, deliver to the Borrower (in such number of copies as shall be requested by the recipient) 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 reasonable request of the Borrower), whichever of the following is applicable:

(1) in the case of a Foreign Lender claiming the benefits of an income tax treaty to which the United States is a party (x) with respect to payments of interest under any Loan Document, executed originals of IRS Form W-8BEN establishing an exemption from, or reduction of, U.S. federal withholding Section 2.7 Tax pursuant to the “interest” article of such tax treaty and (y) with respect to any other applicable payments under any Loan Document, IRS Form W-8BEN establishing an exemption from, or reduction of, U.S. federal withholding Section 2.7 Tax pursuant to the “business profits” or “other income” article of such tax treaty;

(2) executed originals of IRS Form W-8ECI;

(3) in the case of a Foreign Lender claiming the benefits of the exemption for portfolio interest under Section 881(c) of the Code, (x) a certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit B-1 to the effect that such Foreign Lender is not a “bank” within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Code, a “10 percent shareholder” of the Borrower within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(B) of the Code, or a “controlled foreign corporation” described in Section 881(c)(3)(C) of the Code (a “U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate”) and (y) executed originals of IRS Form W-8BEN; or

(4) to the extent a Foreign Lender is a partnership or is not the beneficial owner, executed originals of IRS Form W-8IMY, accompanied by IRS Form W-8ECI, IRS Form W-8BEN, a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit B-2 or Exhibit B-3, IRS Form W-9, and/or other certification documents from each beneficial owner, as applicable; provided that if the Foreign Lender is a partnership and one or more direct or indirect partners of such Foreign Lender are

 

-71-


claiming the portfolio interest exemption, such Foreign Lender may provide a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit B 4 on behalf of each such direct and indirect partner;

(C) any Foreign Lender shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, deliver to the Borrower (in such number of copies as shall be requested by the recipient) 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 reasonable request of the Borrower), executed originals of any other form prescribed by applicable law as a basis for claiming exemption from or a reduction in U.S. federal withholding Section 2.7 Tax, duly completed, together with such supplementary documentation as may be prescribed by applicable law to permit the Borrower to determine the withholding or deduction required to be made; and

(D) if a payment made to a Lender under any Loan Document would be subject to U.S. federal withholding Section 2.7 Tax imposed by FATCA if such Lender were to fail to comply with the applicable reporting requirements of FATCA (including those contained in Section 1471(b) or 1472(b) of the Code, as applicable), such Lender shall deliver to the Borrower at the time or times prescribed by law and at such time or times reasonably requested by the Borrower such documentation prescribed by applicable law (including as prescribed by Section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of the Code) and such additional documentation reasonably requested by the Borrower as may be necessary for the Borrower to comply with their obligations under FATCA and to determine that such Lender has complied with such Lender’s obligations under FATCA or to determine the amount to deduct and withhold from such payment. Solely for purposes of this clause (D), “FATCA” shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the date of this Agreement.

Each Lender agrees that if any form or certification it previously delivered expires or becomes obsolete or inaccurate in any respect, it shall update such form or certification or promptly notify the Borrower in writing of its legal inability to do so. If a Servicer is appointed pursuant to Section 9.5, such Servicer shall deliver to the Borrower a W-9 to establish exemption from backup withholding or, if the Servicer is a U.S. branch of a foreign bank, a W-8IMY electing to be treated as a U.S. person.

(f) Treatment of Certain Refunds. If any party determines, in its sole discretion exercised in good faith, that it has received a refund of any Section 2.7 Taxes as to which it has been indemnified pursuant to this Section 2.7 (including by the payment of additional amounts pursuant to this Section 2.7), it shall pay to the indemnifying party an amount equal to such refund (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made under this Section with respect to the Section 2.7 Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses (including Section 2.7 Taxes) of such indemnified party and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund). Such indemnifying party, upon the request of such indemnified party, shall repay to such indemnified party the amount paid over pursuant to this paragraph (f) (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) in the event that such indemnified

 

-72-


party is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this paragraph (f), in no event will the indemnified party be required to pay any amount to an indemnifying party pursuant to this paragraph (f) the payment of which would place the indemnified party in a less favorable net after-tax position than the indemnified party would have been in if the Section 2.7 Tax subject to indemnification and giving rise to such refund had not been deducted, withheld or otherwise imposed and the indemnification payments or additional amounts with respect to such Section 2.7 Tax had never been paid. This paragraph shall not be construed to require any indemnified party to make available its tax returns (or any other information relating to its Section 2.7 Taxes that it deems confidential) to the indemnifying party or any other Person.

(g) Survival. Each party’s obligations under this Section 2.7 shall survive any assignment of rights by, or the replacement of, a Lender and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all obligations under any Loan Document. Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything to the contrary set forth in this Section 2.7, Borrower shall not be obligated to pay pursuant to this Section 2.7, and Lender shall not be entitled to claim compensation pursuant to this Section 2.7 for any amounts which were incurred or which accrued more than ninety (90) days before the date Lender notified Borrower of the 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 amounts payable by Borrower under this Section 2.7.

(h) Lender hereby agrees that, upon the occurrence of any circumstances entitling Lender to additional amounts pursuant to this Section 2.7, Lender shall use reasonable efforts (consistent with its internal policy and legal and regulatory restrictions) to designate a different applicable lending office for the receipt of payments with respect to, or the funding or booking of, its Loan hereunder, if, in the reasonable judgment of such Lender, such designation (i) would eliminate or reduce such additional amounts payable pursuant to Section 2.7 in the future, and (ii) would not subject such lender to any material unreimbursed cost or expense and would not otherwise be materially disadvantageous to such Lender. The Borrower hereby agrees to pay all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by any Lender in connection with such designation.

Section 2.8 Extension of the Initial Maturity Date. Borrower shall have the option to extend the Component A Initial Maturity Date of the Loan for three (3) successive terms (each such option, a “Component A Extension Option” and each such successive term, an “Extension Term”) of one (1) year each (the Component A Initial Maturity Date following the exercise of each such option is hereinafter the “Component A Extended Maturity Date”) upon satisfaction of the following terms and conditions:

(a) no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing at the commencement of the applicable Extension Term;

(b) Borrower shall provide Lender with written revocable notice of its election to extend the Component A Initial Maturity Date as aforesaid not later than thirty (30) days and not earlier than one hundred twenty (120) days prior to the date the Loan is then scheduled to mature (provided that if Borrower shall subsequently revoke such notice, Borrower shall be responsible for Lender’s costs and expenses incurred in connection with same);

 

-73-


(c) Borrower shall obtain and deliver to Lender on the first day of each Component A Extension Option, one or more Interest Rate Cap Agreements in form substantially identical to the Interest Rate Cap Agreements delivered to Lender in connection with the closing of the Loan or in a form otherwise reasonably approved by Lender from an Acceptable Counterparty in a notional amount equal to the then outstanding principal balance of Component A of the Loan, which Interest Rate Cap Agreement shall have a LIBOR strike price that is not greater than the Extension Strike Price and be effective commencing on the first date of such Extension Term and shall have a maturity date not earlier than the applicable Component A Extended Maturity Date after giving effect to the option then being exercised;

(d) Intentionally Omitted; and

(e) Immediately prior to the commencement of the third Extension Term, the Spread shall be increased by twenty-five (25) basis points which increase shall be effective as of the immediately succeeding Interest Period for Component A.

ARTICLE III

CONDITIONS PRECEDENT

Section 3.1 Conditions Precedent to Closing. The obligation of Lender to make the Loan hereunder is subject to the fulfillment by Borrower or waiver by Lender of all of the conditions precedent to closing set forth in the application or term sheet for the Loan delivered by Borrower to Lender and the commitment or commitment rider, if any, to the application or term sheet for the Loan issued by Lender.

ARTICLE IV

REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES

Section 4.1 Borrower Representations. Each Individual Borrower represents and warrants as of the Closing Date that:

4.1.1 Organization. Each Borrower has been duly organized and is validly existing and in good standing with requisite power and authority to own or lease the applicable Individual Property and to transact the businesses in which it is now engaged. Each Borrower is duly qualified to do business and is in good standing in each jurisdiction where it is required to be so qualified in connection with its businesses and operations. Each Borrower possesses all rights, licenses, permits and authorizations, governmental or otherwise, necessary to entitle it to own the applicable Individual Property and to transact the businesses in which it is now engaged. The sole business of Borrower is the ownership, management and operation of the Properties. The ownership interests in Borrower are as set forth on the organizational chart attached hereto as Schedule 4.1.1.

4.1.2 Proceedings. Borrower have each taken all necessary action to authorize the execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. This Agreement and such other Loan Documents have been duly executed and delivered by or on

 

-74-


behalf of Borrower and constitute legal, valid and binding obligations of Borrower, enforceable against Borrower in accordance with their respective terms, subject only to applicable bankruptcy, insolvency and similar laws affecting rights of creditors generally, and subject, as to enforceability, to general principles of equity (regardless of whether enforcement is sought in a proceeding in equity or at law).

4.1.3 No Conflicts. The execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents by Borrower will not conflict with or result in a breach of any of the terms or provisions of, or constitute a default under, or result in the creation or imposition of any lien, charge or encumbrance (other than pursuant to the Loan Documents) upon any of the property or assets of Borrower pursuant to the terms of any indenture, mortgage, deed of trust, loan agreement, partnership agreement, management agreement or other agreement or instrument to which Borrower is a party or by which any of Borrower’s property or assets are subject (unless consents from all applicable parties thereto have been obtained), nor will such action, to Borrower’s knowledge, result in any violation of the provisions of any statute or any order, rule or regulation of any Governmental Authority having jurisdiction over Borrower or any of Borrower’s properties or assets, and any consent, approval, authorization, order, registration or qualification of or with any court or any such Governmental Authority required for the execution, delivery and performance by Borrower of this Agreement or any other Loan Documents has been obtained and is in full force and effect.

4.1.4 Litigation. Except as set forth on Schedule 4.1.4 attached hereto, there are no actions, suits or proceedings at law or in equity by or before any Governmental Authority or other agency now pending or to Borrower’s knowledge, threatened against or affecting Borrower, Principal or any Individual Property, which actions, suits or proceedings, if determined against Borrower, Principal or any Individual Property, would reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on the condition (financial or otherwise) or business of Borrower, Principal or the condition or ownership of any Individual Property.

4.1.5 Agreements. Borrower is not a party to any agreement or instrument or subject to any restriction which would reasonably be expected to materially and adversely affect Borrower or any Individual Property, or Borrower’s business, properties or assets, operations or condition, financial or otherwise. Borrower is not in default in any material respect in the performance, observance or fulfillment of any of the obligations, covenants or conditions contained in any material agreement or instrument to which it is a party or by which Borrower or any of the Properties is bound. Borrower has no material financial obligation under any indenture, mortgage, deed of trust, loan agreement or other agreement or instrument to which Borrower is a party or by which Borrower or the Properties are otherwise bound, other than (a) obligations incurred in the ordinary course of the operation of the Properties as permitted pursuant to clause (xxiii) of the definition of “Special Purpose Entity” set forth in Section 1.1 hereof. (b) obligations under the Loan Documents and (c) Permitted Encumbrances.

4.1.6 Title. Borrower has good, marketable and insurable title to the real property (or a leasehold estate as it relates to the Ground Leased Properties) comprising part of each Individual Property and good title to the personal property and Improvements that constitute the balance of such Individual Property, free and clear of all Liens whatsoever except the Permitted Encumbrances, such other Liens as are permitted pursuant to the Loan Documents

 

-75-


and the Liens created by the Loan Documents. The Permitted Encumbrances in the aggregate do not materially and adversely affect the value, operation or use of the applicable Individual Property (as currently used) or Borrower’s ability to repay the Loan. Each Mortgage, when properly recorded in the appropriate records, together with any Uniform Commercial Code financing statements required to be filed in connection therewith, will create (a) a valid, perfected first priority lien on Borrower’s interests in the applicable Individual Property, subject only to Permitted Encumbrances and the Liens created by the Loan Documents and (b) perfected security interests in and to, and perfected collateral assignments of, all personalty (including the Leases), to the extent a security interest may be perfected therein by the recording of the applicable Mortgage or the filing of financing statements under the Uniform Commercial Code, all in accordance with the terms thereof, in each case subject only to any applicable Permitted Encumbrances, such other Liens as are permitted pursuant to the Loan Documents and the Liens created by the Loan Documents. Except as set forth in Schedule 4.1.6, to Borrower’s knowledge, there are no claims for payment for work, labor or materials affecting the Properties which are a Lien prior to, or of equal priority with, the Liens created by the Loan Documents and as to which Lender has not otherwise received affirmative insurance in the applicable Title Insurance Policy (in form and substance satisfactory to Lender in all respects).

4.1.7 Solvency. Borrower has not entered into this transaction or executed the Note, this Agreement or any other Loan Documents with the actual intent to hinder, delay or defraud any creditor and Borrower has received reasonably equivalent value in exchange for its obligations under such Loan Documents. After giving effect to the Loan, the fair saleable value of Borrower’s assets exceeds and will, immediately following the making of the Loan, exceed Borrower’s total liabilities, including, without limitation, subordinated, unliquidated, disputed and contingent liabilities. The fair saleable value of Borrower’s assets is and will, immediately following the making of the Loan, be greater than Borrower’s probable liabilities, including the maximum amount of its contingent liabilities on its debts as such debts become absolute and matured. Borrower’s assets do not and, immediately following the making of the Loan will not, constitute unreasonably small capital to carry out its business as conducted or as proposed to be conducted. Borrower does not intend to, and does not believe that it will, incur debt and liabilities (including contingent liabilities and other commitments) beyond its ability to pay such debt and liabilities as they mature (taking into account the timing and amounts of cash to be received by Borrower and the amounts to be payable on or in respect of obligations of Borrower). No petition in bankruptcy has been filed against Borrower, or any of its constituent Persons in the last seven (7) years, and neither Borrower nor any constituent Person in the last seven (7) years has ever made an assignment for the benefit of creditors or taken advantage of any insolvency act for the benefit of debtors. Neither Borrower nor any of its constituent Persons are contemplating either the filing of a petition by it under any state or federal bankruptcy or insolvency laws or the liquidation of all or a major portion of Borrower’s assets or property, and Borrower has no knowledge of any Person contemplating the filing of any such petition against it or such constituent Persons.

4.1.8 Full and Accurate Disclosure. No statement of fact made by Borrower in this Agreement or in any of the other Loan Documents contains any untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state any material fact necessary to make statements contained herein or therein not misleading. There is no material fact presently known to Borrower which has not been disclosed to Lender which adversely affects, nor as far as Borrower can reasonably foresee, would be reasonably likely to materially and adversely affect, any Individual Property or the business, operations or condition (financial or otherwise) of Borrower.

 

-76-


4.1.9 No Plan Assets. As of the date of this Agreement, neither Borrower nor Guarantor is an “employee benefit plan,” as defined in Section 3(3) of ERISA, whether or not subject to Title I of ERISA, and none of the respective assets of Borrower or Guarantor constitute or will constitute “plan assets” of any benefit plan investor within the meaning of 29 C.F.R. Section 2510.3-101 as modified by Section 3(42) of ERISA (the “Plan Asset Regulations”). Except as could not reasonably be expected, individually or in the aggregate to have a material adverse effect on Borrower, neither Borrower nor Guarantor nor any ERISA Affiliate is obligated to contribute to any employee benefit plan (as so defined) subject to Title IV of ERISA. Transactions contemplated hereunder by or with Borrower or Guarantor are not subject to any state or other statute or regulation with respect to governmental plans within the meaning of Section 3(32) of ERISA which are substantially similar to the prohibited transaction provisions of Section 406 of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code currently in effect and which prohibit the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, including, but not limited to the exercise by Lender of any of its rights under the Loan Documents.

4.1.10 Compliance. Borrower and the Properties and the use thereof comply in all material respects with all applicable Legal Requirements, including, without limitation, building and zoning ordinances and codes. Borrower is not in default or violation of any order, writ, injunction, decree or demand of any Governmental Authority. There has not been committed by Borrower or to the best of Borrower’s knowledge, any other Person in occupancy of or involved with the operation or use of the Properties any act or omission affording the federal government or any other Governmental Authority the right of forfeiture as against any Individual Property or any part thereof or any monies paid in performance of Borrower’s obligations under any of the Loan Documents.

4.1.11 Financial Information. All financial data, including, without limitation, the statements of cash flow and income and operating expense, that have been delivered to Lender in connection with the Loan (i) are true, complete and correct in all material respects (or to the extent that any such financial data was incorrect in any material respect when delivered, the same have been corrected by financial data subsequently delivered to Lender prior to the Closing Date in writing and containing an express reference to any and all such concerns), (ii) fairly represent the financial condition of Borrower and the Properties, as applicable, as of the date of such reports, and (iii) to the extent prepared or audited by an independent certified public accounting firm, have been prepared in accordance with GAAP throughout the periods covered, except as disclosed therein. The foregoing representation shall not apply to any such financial data that constitutes projections, provided that Borrower represents and warrants that such projections were made in good faith and that Borrower has no reason to believe that such projections are materially inaccurate. Except for Permitted Encumbrances, Borrower has no contingent liabilities, liabilities for taxes, unusual forward or long term commitments or unrealized or anticipated losses from any unfavorable commitments that are known to Borrower and are reasonably likely to have a material adverse effect on any Individual Property or the current operation thereof as a hotel, except as referred to or reflected in said financial statements. Since the date of such financial statements, there has been no materially adverse change in the financial condition, operations or business of Borrower, from that set forth in said financial statements.

 

-77-


4.1.12 Condemnation. No Condemnation or other proceeding has been commenced or, to the best of Borrower’s knowledge, is threatened or contemplated with respect to all or any portion of any Individual Property or for the relocation of roadways providing access to any Individual Property, other than to the extent the same would not reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on the Individual Property affected thereby.

4.1.13 Federal Reserve Regulations. No part of the proceeds of the Loan will be used for the purpose of purchasing or acquiring any “margin stock” within the meaning of Regulation U of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System or for any other purpose which would be inconsistent with such Regulation U or any other Regulations of such Board of Governors, or for any purposes prohibited by Legal Requirements or by the terms and conditions of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents.

From the date hereof and until payment and performance in full of all obligations of Borrower under the Loan Documents or the earlier release of the Liens of the Mortgages encumbering the Properties (and all related obligations) in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, Borrower hereby covenants and agrees with Lender to comply with the following covenants, and in connection therewith:

5.1.1 Existence; Compliance with Legal Requirements. Borrower shall do or cause to be done all things necessary to preserve, renew and keep in full force and effect its existence, rights, licenses, permits and franchises and comply in all material respects with all Legal Requirements applicable to Borrower and the Properties, including, without limitation, building and zoning codes and certificates of occupancy and the procurement of all necessary

There shall never be committed by Borrower, and Borrower shall not permit any other Person in occupancy of or involved with the operation or use of the Properties to commit any act or omission affording the federal government or any state or local government the right of forfeiture against any Individual Property or any part thereof or any monies paid in performance of Borrower’s obligations under any of the Loan Documents. Borrower hereby, covenants and agrees not to commit, permit or suffer to exist any act or omission affording such right of forfeiture. Borrower shall at all times maintain, preserve and protect all rights it has in necessary franchises and trade names and preserve all the remainder of its property used or useful in the conduct of its business and shall keep the Properties in good working order and repair, and from time to time make, or cause to be made, all reasonably necessary repairs, renewals, replacements, betterments and improvements thereto, all as more fully provided in the Loan Documents. Borrower shall keep the Properties insured at all times by financially sound and reputable insurers, to such extent and against such risks, and maintain liability and such other insurance, as is more fully provided in this Agreement. After prior written notice to Lender, Borrower, at Borrower’s own expense, may contest by appropriate legal proceeding promptly initiated and conducted in good faith and with due diligence, the validity of any Legal Requirement, the applicability of any Legal Requirement to Borrower or any Individual Property or any alleged violation of any Legal Requirement, provided that (i) no Event of Default has occurred and remains uncured; (ii) such proceeding shall be permitted under and be conducted in accordance with the provisions of any instrument to which Borrower is subject and shall not constitute a default thereunder and such proceeding shall be conducted in accordance with all applicable statutes, laws and ordinances; (iii) no Individual Property nor any part thereof or interest therein will be in danger of being sold, forfeited, terminated, cancelled or lost during the pendency of such dispute; (iv) Borrower shall promptly upon final determination thereof comply with any such Legal Requirement determined to be valid or applicable or cure any violation of any Legal Requirement; (v) such proceeding shall suspend the enforcement of the contested Legal Requirement against Borrower or any Individual Property during the pendency of such dispute; and (vi) Borrower shall furnish such security as may be required in the proceeding, or as may be reasonably requested by Lender, to insure compliance with such Legal Requirement, together with all interest and penalties payable in connection therewith. Lender may apply any such security, as necessary to cause compliance with such Legal Requirement at any time when, in the reasonable judgment of Lender, the validity, applicability or violation of such Legal Requirement is finally established or any Individual Property (or any part thereof or interest therein) shall be in danger of being sold, forfeited, terminated, cancelled or lost.

5.1.2 Taxes and Other Charges. Except as otherwise provided in this Section 5.1.2, Borrower shall pay all Taxes and Other Charges now or hereafter levied or assessed or imposed against the Properties or any part thereof prior to delinquency; provided, however, Borrower’s obligation to directly pay Taxes and Other Charges shall be suspended for so long as Borrower complies with the terms and provisions of Section 7.2 hereof. Except as otherwise provided in this Section 5.1.2, Borrower shall not later than five (5) Business Days after receipt of a written request from Lender, deliver to Lender receipts for payment or other evidence satisfactory to Lender that the Taxes and Other Charges have been so paid or are not then delinquent no later than ten (10) days prior to the date on which the Taxes and/or Other Charges would otherwise be delinquent if not paid (provided, however, Borrower shall not be required to furnish such receipts for payment of such Taxes and Other Charges during any period

Except as otherwise provided in the following sentence, Borrower shall not suffer and shall promptly cause to be paid and discharged any Lien (other than Permitted Encumbrances) or charge whatsoever which may be or become a Lien or charge against the Properties, and shall promptly pay for all utility services provided to the Properties. Borrower, at Borrower’s own expense, may contest, by appropriate legal proceeding, promptly initiated and conducted in good faith and with due diligence, the amount or validity or application in whole or in part of any Taxes or Other Charges, provided that (i) no Default or Event of Default has occurred and remains uncured; (ii) such proceeding shall be permitted under and be conducted in accordance with the provisions of any other instrument to which Borrower is subject and shall not constitute a default thereunder and such proceeding shall be conducted in accordance with all applicable statutes, laws and ordinances; (iii) no Individual Property nor any part thereof or interest therein will be in danger of being sold, forfeited, terminated, cancelled or lost during the pendency thereof; (iv) Borrower shall promptly upon final determination thereof pay the amount of any such Taxes or Other Charges, together with all costs, interest and penalties which may be payable in connection therewith; (v) such proceeding shall suspend the collection of such contested Taxes or Other Charges from the applicable Individual Property during the pendency thereof; (vi) Borrower shall furnish such security as may be required in the proceeding, or as may be reasonably requested by Lender, to insure the payment of any such Taxes or Other Charges, together with all interest and penalties thereon. Lender may pay over any such cash deposit or part thereof held by Lender to the claimant entitled thereto at any time when, in the reasonable judgment of Lender, the entitlement of such claimant is established or any Individual Property (or part thereof or interest therein) shall be in imminent danger of being sold, forfeited, terminated, cancelled or lost or there shall be any danger of the Lien of any Mortgage being primed by any related Lien; and (vii) Borrower shall deliver written notice of such contest to Lender.

Lender shall cooperate with Borrower to follow the procedures for budget approval set forth in the Management Agreement to the extent Borrower notifies Lender thereof.

(h) Intentionally Omitted.

(i) Any reports, statements or other information required to be delivered under this Agreement may be delivered via email, with report files in electronic form of Microsoft Word, Microsoft Excel or .pdf format, (i) in paper form, (ii) on a diskette, and (iii) if requested by Lender and within the capabilities of Borrower’s data systems without change or modification thereto, in electronic form and prepared using Microsoft Word for Windows files (which files may be prepared using a spreadsheet program and saved as word processing files).

5.2.9 ERISA. (a) Assuming compliance by the Lender with paragraph (d) of this Section 5.2.9, Borrower shall not engage in any transactions contemplated under this Agreement which would cause any obligation, or action taken or to be taken, hereunder (or the exercise by Lender of any of its rights under the Note, this Agreement or the other Loan Documents) to be a non-exempt (under a statutory or administrative class exemption) prohibited transaction under Section 406(a) of ERISA.

(d) Lender represents and warrants that, throughout the term of the Loan, no portion of the assets used by any Lender in connection with the transactions contemplated under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents constitutes assets of a (i) “benefit plan investor” within the meaning of the Plan Asset Regulations unless the applicable Lender is relying on an available prohibited transaction exemption, all of the conditions of which are and continue to be satisfied or (ii) governmental plan (as defined in Section 3(32) of ERISA) which is subject to any provision which is substantially similar to the prohibited transaction provisions of Section 406 of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code (“Applicable Similar Law”), unless the acquisition and holding of the Loan or any interest therein will not give rise to a violation of any such Applicable Similar Law.

Borrower acknowledges that Lender has a valid interest in maintaining the value of the Properties so as to ensure that, should Borrower default in the repayment of the Debt or the performance of the Other Obligations, Lender can recover the Debt by a sale of the Properties.

(x) If the Permitted Assumption is accomplished by deed or conveyance of the Properties rather than by assignment of all of Guarantor’s or a Restricted Party’s interests in Borrower, Borrower shall deliver, at its sole cost and expense, an endorsement to the Title Insurance Policies, as modified by the assumption agreement, as a valid first lien on the Properties and naming the Transferee as owner of the Properties, which endorsement shall insure that, as of the date of the recording of the assumption agreement, the Properties shall not be subject to any additional exceptions or liens other than those contained in the relevant Title Insurance Policy issued on the date hereof and any other Permitted Encumbrances; and

The foregoing release shall be effective upon the date such Permitted Assumption is consummated, but Lender agrees to provide written evidence thereof reasonably requested by Borrower.

If Borrower shall fail to exercise any such option or right as aforesaid within thirty days prior to the date when required, Lender may exercise the option or right as Borrower’s agent and attorney in fact as provided above in Lender’s own name or in the name of and on behalf of a nominee of Lender, as Lender may determine in the exercise of its sole and absolute discretion.

(b) Borrower shall not waive, excuse, condone or in any way release or discharge any Ground Lessor under any Ground Lease of or from such Ground Lessor’s material obligations, covenant and/or conditions under the related Ground Lease without the prior written consent of Lender (which consent will not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned).

Consent to one amendment, change, agreement or modification shall not be deemed to be a waiver of the right to require consent to other, future or

 

-118-


successive amendments, changes, agreements or modifications. Any acquisition of Ground Lessor’s interest in any Ground Lease by Borrower or any Affiliate of Borrower shall be accomplished by Borrower in such a manner so as to avoid a merger of the interests of lessor and lessee in such Ground Lease, unless consent to such merger is granted by Lender.

Neither Borrower nor Principal may enter into or be a party to, and will not enter into or be a party to, any transaction with its partners, members, shareholders or Affiliates except in the ordinary course of its business and on terms which are commercially reasonable and are no less favorable to it than would be obtained in a comparable arm’s length transaction with an unrelated third party.

Borrower shall not, without Lender’s prior written consent (which consent may not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), (a) terminate, or consent to the termination of any Rental Management Agreement (except by reason of default of the other party to the Rental Management Agreement) if such termination would materially and adversely affect the Borrower, the Property or Lender’s rights thereunder, or (b) amend, modify, supplement or consent to the amendment, modification or supplementation of any Rental Management Agreement in any material respect which would materially and adversely affect the Borrower, the Property or Lender’s rights thereunder.

The amount of such business income or rental loss insurance shall be determined prior to the date hereof and at least once each year thereafter based on Borrower’s reasonable estimate of the gross revenues from each Individual Property (as reduced to reflect expenses not incurred during a period of Restoration) for the succeeding twelve (12) month period. All proceeds payable to Lender pursuant to this subsection shall be held by Lender and 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 this Agreement and the other Loan Documents except to the extent such amounts are actually paid out of the proceeds of such business income insurance;

-122-


under Section 6.1(a)(i), (ii), (v) and (viii) above at all times during the term of the Loan. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the amount of terrorism coverage that shall be required for the Policies required in Section 6.1(a)(i) and (ii) above shall be in an amount equal to the lesser of (1) the Full Replacement Cost of the Individual Property and (2) the allocated loan amount for the Individual Property. If the Terrorism Risk Insurance Program Reauthorization Act of 2007 or a similar or subsequent statute (“TRIPRA”) is not in effect, then provided that terrorism insurance is commercially available, Borrower shall be required to carry terrorism insurance throughout the term of the Loan as required by the preceding sentence, but in such event Borrower shall not be required to spend on terrorism insurance coverage more than two times the amount of the insurance premium that is payable at such time in respect of the property and business interruption/rental loss insurance required hereunder (without giving effect to the cost of the terrorism, earthquake and windstorm components of such casualty and business interruption/rental loss insurance), and if the cost of terrorism insurance exceeds such amount, Borrower shall purchase the maximum amount of terrorism insurance available with funds equal to such amount;

(xiv) upon sixty (60) days written notice, such other reasonable insurance and in such reasonable amounts as Lender from time to time may reasonably request against such other insurable hazards which at the time are commonly insured against for property similar to the Individual Property located in or around the region in which the Individual Property is located.

(b) All insurance provided for in Section 6.1(a) hereof, 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 as to insurance companies, amounts, deductibles,

 

-123-


loss payees and insureds. The Policies shall be issued by financially sound and responsible insurance companies having a rating of “A” or better by S&P provided, however, that if Borrower elects to have its insurance coverage provided by a syndicate of insurers, then, if such syndicate consists of five (5) or more members, (A) at least sixty percent (60%) of the insurance coverage (or seventy-five percent (75%) if such syndicate consists of four (4) or fewer members) and one hundred percent (100%) of the first layer of insurance coverage shall be provided by insurance companies having a claims paying ability rating of “A” or better (or its equivalent) by S&P, Fitch (if Fitch is rating the Securitization and is rating the insurance company) and Moody’s (if Moody’s is rating the Securitization and is rating the insurance company) and (B) the remaining forty percent (40%) of the insurance coverage (or the remaining twenty-five percent (25%) if such syndicate consists of four (4) or fewer members) shall be provided by insurance companies having a claims paying ability rating of “BBB+” or better (or its equivalent) by S&P, Fitch (if Fitch is rating the Securitization and is rating the insurance company) and Moody’s (if Moody’s is rating the Securitization and is rating the insurance company). Notwithstanding the foregoing, Factory Mutual Insurance Company and Affiliated FM Insurance Company shall be acceptable insurance companies provided they maintain a rating of “Api” or better by S&P and a rating of “A” or better by Fitch. The Policies described in Section 6.1 hereof (other than those strictly limited to liability protection) shall designate Lender as loss payee. Prior to the expiration dates of the Policies theretofore furnished to Lender, evidence that the Policies shall continue in force uninterrupted, to be followed by evidence satisfactory to Lender of payment of the premiums due thereunder (the “Insurance Premiums”) as such Insurance Premiums shall become due and payable, shall be delivered by Borrower to Lender.

(c) Any blanket insurance Policy shall specifically allocate to the Individual Property the amount of coverage from time to time required hereunder or shall otherwise provide the same protection as would a separate Policy insuring only the Properties in compliance with the provisions of Section 6.1(a) hereof. In the event Borrower adds any locations to the Policy that are subject to the perils of earthquake, flood or wind/named storm, Borrower shall notify Lender and provide updated Acceptable Risk Analyses as applicable and the limits provided for such perils shall be increased as necessary so as to be in compliance with the requirements of Section 6.1. In the event Borrower adds any locations to the Policy providing coverage for terrorism which is within a 1,000 foot radius (the “Radius”) of an Individual Property, Borrower shall (1) increase the limits of any such Policy so that it shall be adequate to maintain the coverage set forth in this Section 6.1 for each property in the aggregate within the Radius that is covered by such blanket policy calculated on a total insured value basis or (2) provide the required coverage on a separate policy in compliance with the requirements of this Section 6.1.

(d) All Policies provided for or contemplated by Section 6.1(a) hereof shall name Borrower as a named insured and, in the case of liability policies, except for the Policy referenced in Section 6.1(a)(vii) of this Agreement, shall name Lender as the additional insured, as its interests may appear, and in the case of property damage, including but not limited to terrorism, boiler and machinery, flood and earthquake insurance, shall contain a standard non-contributing mortgagee clause in favor of Lender providing that the loss thereunder shall be payable to Lender and guaranteeing thirty (30) days’ notice of cancellation to Lender except ten (10) days’ notice for non-payment of premium.

 

-124-


(e) All Policies shall contain clauses or endorsements to the effect that:

(i) no act or negligence of Borrower, or anyone acting for Borrower, 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;

(ii) the Policy shall not be materially changed (other than to increase the coverage provided thereby) or canceled without at least thirty (30) days written notice to Lender and any other party named therein as an additional insured; provided, that ten (10) days’ notice will be required for non-payment of premium or; if issuer will not or cannot provide the notices required herein, Borrower shall be obligated to provide such notice;

(iii) the issuers thereof shall give ten (10) days’ written notice to Lender if the issuers of such Policy elect not to renew the Policy prior to its expiration or, if the issuers will not or cannot provide the notices required herein, Borrower shall be obligated to provide such notice; and

(iv) Lender shall not be liable for any Insurance Premiums thereon or subject to any assessments thereunder.

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 to take such action as Lender deems necessary to protect its interest in the Properties, including, without limitation, the obtaining of such insurance coverage as Lender in its sole discretion deems appropriate after ten (10) Business Days’ notice to Borrower if prior to the date upon which any such coverage will lapse or at any time Lender deems necessary (regardless of prior notice to Borrower) to avoid the lapse of any such coverage. 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 Mortgages and shall bear interest at the Default Rate.

Section 6.2 Casualty. If any Individual Property shall be damaged or destroyed, in whole or in part, by fire or other casualty (a “Casualty”), Borrower shall give prompt written notice of such damage to Lender (provided that no notice shall be required in connection with a Casualty that is de minimis) and shall promptly commence and diligently prosecute the completion of the Restoration of the Individual Property pursuant to Section 6.4 hereof as nearly as possible to the condition the Individual Property was in immediately prior to such Casualty, with such alterations as may be reasonably approved by Lender and otherwise in accordance with Section 6.4 hereof. Borrower shall 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. In addition, Lender may participate in any settlement discussions with any insurance companies with respect to any Casualty in which the Net Proceeds or the costs of completing the Restoration are equal to or greater than the Casualty/Condemnation Threshold Amount and Borrower, as applicable, shall deliver to Lender all instruments required by Lender to permit such participation.

Section 6.3 Condemnation. (a) Borrower shall promptly give Lender notice of the actual or threatened commencement of any proceeding for the Condemnation of any

 

-125-


Individual Property and shall deliver to Lender copies of any and all papers served in connection with such proceedings. Lender may participate in any such proceedings, and Borrower, as applicable, shall from time to time deliver to Lender all instruments requested by it to permit such participation. Borrower shall, at its expense, 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, but not limited to, 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 Award shall have been actually received and applied by Lender, after the deduction of expenses of collection, 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 interest at the rate or rates provided herein or in the Note. If any Individual Property or any portion thereof is taken by a condemning authority, (a) if Restoration of such Individual Property would be deemed feasible by a prudent Lender acting reasonably based upon the nature of the Condemnation, Borrower shall promptly commence and diligently prosecute the Restoration of the applicable Individual Property pursuant to Section 6.4 hereof and otherwise comply with the provisions of Section 6.4 hereof; provided, that, Borrower shall not be obligated to pursue completion of the Restoration if Lender is obligated to disburse Net Proceeds pursuant to Section 6.4 hereof with respect thereto (and Borrower has satisfied all applicable conditions to such disbursement) and Lender fails to disburse such proceeds and (b) if Restoration of such Individual Property is not considered feasible by a prudent Lender acting reasonably based upon the nature of the Condemnation, then Lender shall apply the Net Proceeds of such Condemnation to the principal of the Loan in accordance with Section 2.4.2 hereof. If any Individual Property 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.

(b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein or in any other Loan Document, if the Loan or any portion thereof is included in a REMIC Trust and, immediately following a release of any portion of the Lien of the Mortgage in connection with a Condemnation of an Individual Property (but taking into account any proposed Restoration on the remaining portion of such Individual Property) (based solely on real property and excluding any personal property or going concern value), the Loan-to-Value Ratio is greater than 125% (such value to be determined, in Lender’s sole discretion, by any commercially reasonable method permitted to a REMIC Trust), the principal balance of the Loan must prepaid down by an amount not less than the least of the following amounts: (i) the Condemnation Proceeds, (ii) the fair market value of the released property at the time of the release, or (iii) an amount such that the Loan-to-Value Ratio (as so determined by Lender) does not increase after the release, unless Lender receives an opinion of counsel that if such amount is not paid, the Securitization will not fail to maintain its status as a REMIC Trust as a result of the related release of such portion of the Lien of the Mortgage. Any such prepayment shall be deemed a voluntary prepayment and shall be subject to Section 2.4.1 hereof (other than the requirements to prepay the Debt in full and provide thirty (30) days’ notice to Lender).

 

-126-


Section 6.4 Restoration. The following provisions shall apply in connection with the Restoration of any Individual Property:

(a) If the Net Proceeds shall be less than the Individual Property Casualty/Condemnation Threshold Amount and the costs of completing the Restoration shall be less than the Casualty/Condemnation Threshold Amount, the Net Proceeds will be disbursed by Lender to Borrower upon receipt, provided that all of the conditions set forth in Section 6.4(b)(i) (A), (C), (F), (G) and (H) hereof are met and Borrower delivers to Lender a written undertaking to expeditiously commence and to satisfactorily complete with due diligence the Restoration in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

(i) The Net Proceeds shall be made available to Borrower for Restoration provided that each of the following conditions are met:

(A) no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing;

(B) (1) in the event the Net Proceeds are Insurance Proceeds, less than thirty percent (30%) of the total floor area of the Improvements on the Individual Property has been damaged, destroyed or rendered unusable as a result of such Casualty or (2) in the event the Net Proceeds are Condemnation Proceeds, less than twenty two and one half percent (22.5%) of the land constituting the Individual Property is taken, and such land is located along the perimeter or periphery of the Individual Property, and no portion of the Improvements is located on such land;

(C) Borrower shall commence the Restoration as soon as reasonably practicable (but in no event later than one hundred twenty (120) days after such Casualty or Condemnation, whichever the case may be, occurs) and shall diligently pursue the same to satisfactory completion, provided, that for purposes of this clause the filing of an application for a building permit for the Restoration shall be deemed to be commencement of the Restoration provided Borrower promptly commences work thereafter and diligently proceeds to the completion of such Restoration;

 

-127-


(D) Lender shall be satisfied that any operating deficits, including all scheduled payments of principal and interest under the Note, which will be incurred with respect to the Individual Property as a result of the occurrence of any such Casualty or Condemnation, whichever the case may be, will be covered out of (1) the Net Proceeds, (2) the insurance coverage referred to in Section 6.1(a)(ii) hereof, if applicable, or (3) by other funds of Borrower;

(E) Lender shall be satisfied, subject to a force majeure delay, that the Restoration will be completed on or before the earliest to occur of (1) one hundred twenty (120) days prior to the Maturity Date (or with respect to any Extension Term, sixty (60) days prior to the applicable Extended Maturity Date), (2) such time as may be required under all applicable Legal Requirements in order to repair and restore the applicable Individual Property to the condition it was in immediately prior to such Casualty or to as nearly as possible the condition it was in immediately prior to such Condemnation, as applicable, or (3) the expiration of the insurance coverage referred to in Section 6.1(a)(ii) hereof;

(F) the Individual Property and the use thereof after the Restoration will, in all material respects, be in compliance with and permitted under all applicable Legal Requirements (including as a legal non-conforming use);

(G) the Restoration shall be done and completed by Borrower in an expeditious and diligent fashion and in compliance with all applicable Legal Requirements;

(H) such Casualty or Condemnation, as applicable, does not result in the loss of access to the Individual Property or the related Improvements;

(I) the Debt Yield immediately prior to such Casualty or Condemnation was equal to or greater than (i) six and one-half percent (6.50%) with respect to such Casualty or Condemnation that occurs prior to the commencement of the second Extension Term and (ii) seven percent (7%) with respect to such Casualty or Condemnation that occurs on or after the commencement of the second Extension Term, in each case, with respect to the affected Individual Property;

(J) Borrower shall deliver, or cause to be delivered, to Lender a signed detailed budget approved in writing by Borrower’s architect or engineer stating the entire cost of completing the Restoration, which budget shall be reasonably approved by Lender in the same manner as each Annual Budget is to be approved by Lender during the continuance of a Cash Trap Event Period; and

(K) the Net Proceeds together with any cash or cash equivalent deposited by Borrower with Lender are sufficient in Lender’s reasonable discretion to cover the cost of the Restoration.

(ii) The Net Proceeds shall be held by Lender in an interest bearing Eligible Account and, until disbursed in accordance with the provisions of this Section 6.4(b),

 

-128-


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 from time to time during the course of the Restoration, upon receipt of evidence satisfactory to Lender that (A) all materials installed and work and labor performed (except to the extent that they are to be paid for out of the requested disbursement) in connection with the Restoration have been paid for in full, and (B) 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 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 Insurance Policy.

(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 (the “Casualty 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 under which they have been engaged, shall be subject to prior review and reasonable acceptance by Lender and the Casualty Consultant. All reasonable costs and expenses incurred by Lender in connection with making the Net Proceeds available for the Restoration including, without limitation, reasonable counsel fees and disbursements and the Casualty Consultant’s fees, shall be paid by Borrower. Lender shall grant or deny with a reasonable explanation any consent required hereunder within fourteen (14) days after the receipt of the applicable request and all documents in connection therewith. In the event that Lender fails to respond within said fourteen (14) day period, such failure shall be deemed to be the consent and approval of Lender if (A) Borrower has delivered to Lender the applicable documents, with the notation “IMMEDIATE RESPONSE REQUIRED, FAILURE TO RESPOND TO THIS APPROVAL REQUEST WITHIN FOURTEEN (14) DAYS FROM RECEIPT SHALL BE DEEMED TO BE LENDER’S APPROVAL” prominently displayed in bold, all caps and fourteen (14) point or larger font in the transmittal letter requesting approval and (B) Lender does not approve or reject (with a reasonable explanation) the applicable request within fourteen (14) days from the date Lender receives such request as evidenced by a certified mail return receipt or confirmation by a reputable national overnight delivery service that the same has been delivered to Borrower.

(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 Casualty Consultant, minus the Casualty Retainage. The term “Casualty 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 Casualty Consultant, until the Restoration has been completed. The Casualty Retainage shall in no event, and notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth above in this Section 6.4(b), be less than the amount actually held

 

-129-


back by Borrower from contractors, subcontractors and materialmen engaged in the Restoration. The Casualty Retainage shall not be released until the Casualty Consultant certifies to Lender that the Restoration has been completed in accordance with the provisions of this Section 6.4(b) and that all approvals necessary for the re occupancy and use of the Individual Property have been obtained from all appropriate governmental and quasi-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 Casualty Retainage; provided, however, that Lender will release the portion of the Casualty Retainage being held with respect to any contractor, subcontractor or materialman engaged in the Restoration as of the date upon which the Casualty Consultant certifies to Lender that 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 or by the title company issuing the Title Insurance Policy, and Lender receives an endorsement to the Title Insurance Policy insuring the continued priority of the lien of the related Mortgage and evidence of payment of any premium payable for such endorsement. If required by Lender, the release of any such portion of the Casualty 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 opinion of Lender in consultation with the Casualty Consultant, be sufficient to pay in full the balance of the costs which are estimated by the Casualty Consultant to be incurred in connection with the completion of the Restoration, Borrower shall (A) deposit the deficiency (the “Net Proceeds Deficiency”) with Lender or (B) deliver a Letter of Credit reasonably satisfactory to Lender in an amount equal to the Net Proceeds Deficiency before any further disbursement of the Net Proceeds shall be made. 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 6.4(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 Casualty Consultant certifies to Lender that the Restoration has been completed in accordance with the provisions of this Section 6.4(b), 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 remitted by Lender, to Borrower, provided no Event of Default shall have occurred and shall be continuing under the Note, this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents.

 

-130-


(c) Lender shall, with reasonable promptness following any Casualty or Condemnation, notify Borrower whether or not Net Proceeds are required to be made available to Borrower for a Restoration pursuant to this Section 6.4 (or, if the same are not required to be made available to Borrower for Restoration pursuant to this Section 6.4, whether Lender will nevertheless make the same available, which election Lender may make in its sole and absolute discretion). All Net Proceeds not required (i) to be made available for the Restoration or (ii) to be returned to Borrower as excess Net Proceeds pursuant to Section 6.4(b)(vii) hereof may be retained and applied by Lender toward the payment of the Debt in accordance with Section 2.4.2 hereof, whether or not then due and payable in such order, priority and proportions as Lender in its sole discretion shall deem proper, or, at the discretion of Lender, the same may be paid, either in whole or in part, to Borrower for such purposes as Lender shall approve, in its discretion.

(d) In the event of foreclosure of the Mortgage with respect to an Individual Property, or other transfer of title of an Individual Property in extinguishment in whole or in part of the Debt all right, title and interest of Borrower in and to the Policies that are not blanket Policies then in force concerning such Individual Property and all proceeds payable thereunder shall thereupon vest in the purchaser at such foreclosure or Lender or other transferee in the event of such other transfer of title.

(e) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in the Loan Documents (except Section 6.3(b) of this Agreement) with respect to the disbursement of Insurance Proceeds or Condemnation Proceeds in respect of the Ground Lease, the express provisions set forth in the Ground Lease shall govern; provided, however, to the extent the compliance by Borrower with the terms and conditions of this Section 6.4 do not create a default under the terms and provisions of the Ground Lease, Borrower shall comply with the terms and provisions of this Section 6.4 and, provided, further, that Borrower shall not grant its consent, approval or waiver with respect to any disbursement of Insurance Proceeds or Condemnation Proceeds in respect of the Ground Lease Property (if such disbursement would violate the terms and provisions of this Section 6.4) as may be requested or required in connection with the terms and provisions of the Ground Lease without first obtaining the written consent, approval, or waiver of Lender.

(f) In addition to the foregoing, in connection with any partial Condemnation or Casualty, if any Net Proceeds shall be equal to or greater than sixty percent (60%) of the Release Amount in respect of the applicable Individual Property, then Borrower shall have the right, but not the obligation, regardless of the provisions of Section 2.4.1 hereof, elect not to proceed with a Restoration and to prepay the Adjusted Release Amount of the applicable Individual Property (a “Casualty/Condemnation Prepayment”) utilizing the Net Proceeds (together with other funds of the Borrower if such Net Proceeds are less than the Adjusted Release Amount) and obtain the release of the applicable Individual Property from the Lien of the Mortgage thereon and related Loan Documents, provided that (i) Borrower shall have satisfied the requirements of Section 2.5.2 hereof (excluding Section 2.5.2(e)), (ii) Borrower shall consummate the Casualty/Condemnation Prepayment on or before the second Payment Date occurring following the proposed date of the intended Casualty/Condemnation Prepayment and (iii) Borrower pays to Lender, concurrently with making such Casualty/Condemnation Prepayment, any other amounts required pursuant to Section 2.4.2 hereof. For the avoidance of doubt, unless such payment is made during the continuance of an Event of Default, no Prepayment Premium or other premium or penalty or charge shall be due with respect to a Casualty/Condemnation Prepayment.

(a) To the extent Taxes, Other Charges and/or Insurance Premiums are not reserved for in a Manager Account maintained by Manager pursuant to the Management Agreement or previously paid by Manager pursuant to the Management Agreement (provided, that to the extent so reserved or paid, Borrower delivers to Lender the invoices and other evidence of payment required under Section 5.1.2 and Section 6.1 hereof in which case the required deposit will be reduced on a dollar-for-dollar basis by such amount), Borrower shall pay to Lender on each Payment Date during a Cash Trap Period, (i) one twelfth (1/12) of the Taxes, Other Charges and all amounts due pursuant to the Loan Documents that Lender reasonably estimates will be payable during the next ensuing twelve (12) months in order to accumulate with Lender sufficient funds to pay all such Taxes, Other Charges, and (ii) one twelfth (1/12) of the Insurance Premiums that Lender estimates will be payable for the renewal of the coverage afforded by the Policies upon the expiration thereof in order 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 (i) and (ii) above hereinafter called the “Tax and Insurance Escrow Fund”). The account in which the Tax and Insurance Escrow Funds are held shall hereinafter be referred to as the “Tax and Insurance Reserve Account”. Lender will apply the Tax and Insurance Escrow Fund to payments of Taxes and Insurance Premiums required to be made by Borrower pursuant to Section 5.1.2 hereof and under the Mortgages. In making any payment

 

-132-


relating to the Tax and Insurance Escrow Fund, Lender may do so according to any bill, statement or estimate procured from the appropriate public office (with respect to Taxes and Other Charges) or insurer or agent (with respect to Insurance Premiums), without inquiry into the accuracy of such bill, statement or estimate or into the validity of any tax, assessment, sale, forfeiture, tax lien or title or claim thereof. Provided that sufficient amounts are on deposit in the Tax and Insurance Escrow Fund, Lender shall, upon Borrower’s written request, reimburse Borrower from amounts on deposit in the Tax and Insurance Escrow Fund for all real property Taxes, Other Charges and Insurance Premiums actually paid by Borrower. As a precondition to any such reimbursement, Borrower shall submit to Lender an Officer’s Certificate setting forth the amount of tax payments made and jurisdictions in which such payments were made (if applicable) and upon the written request of Lender receipts for payment or other evidence reasonably satisfactory to Lender that such real, property Taxes, Other Charges and Insurance Premiums have been paid. If the amount of the Tax and Insurance Escrow Fund shall exceed the amounts due for Taxes, Other Charges and Insurance Premiums pursuant to Section 5.1.2 hereof, Lender shall, in its sole discretion, return any excess to Borrower or credit such excess against future payments to be made to the Tax and Insurance Escrow Fund. If at any time Lender reasonably determines that the Tax and Insurance Escrow Fund is not or will not be sufficient to pay Taxes, Other Charges and Insurance Premiums by the dates set forth in (i) and (ii) above, Lender shall provide written notice to Borrower of such determination and Borrower shall, commencing with the first Payment Date following Borrower’s receipt of such written notice, increase its monthly payments to Lender by the amount that Lender estimates is sufficient to make up the deficiency at least thirty (30) days prior to the due date of the Taxes and Other Charges and/or thirty (30) days prior to expiration of the Policies, as the case may be. Any amounts remaining in the Tax and Insurance Escrow Fund after the Debt has been paid in full shall be promptly returned to Borrower. As used in this Section 7.2(a), other charges shall not include Ground Rent, which will be reserved and disbursed pursuant to Section 7.5 hereof.

(b) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, provided that no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, to the extent that any of the insurance required to be maintained by Borrower under this Agreement and/or any other Loan Document is effected under a blanket policy reasonably acceptable to Lender insuring substantially all of the real property owned, directly or indirectly, by Guarantor, Borrower shall not be required to make deposits pursuant to the foregoing with respect to Insurance Premiums.

Section 7.3 Replacements and Replacement Reserve.

7.3.1 Replacement Reserve Fund. Borrower shall, during the continuance of a Cash Trap Period, pay to Lender on each Payment Date an amount equal to the Replacement Reserve Monthly Deposit to fund the cost of Replacements; provided, however, that Replacements shall not include expense items that otherwise would be expensed in the operating statements of the Property pursuant to the Uniform System of Accounts and provided, further, that, for so long as Borrower maintains any Individual Property in accordance with the applicable Management Agreement, the Replacement Reserve Monthly Deposit shall be reduced on a dollar-for-dollar basis by any amounts either (x) deposited into the applicable Manager Account for Replacements for the applicable calendar month as set forth in the Annual Budget and required pursuant to the terms of the applicable Management Agreement if Borrower delivers evidence reasonably satisfactory to Lender that such deposit has been made or

 

-133-


(y) otherwise accounted for pursuant to the Working Capital Peg Balance held in the Operating Account Agreement if Borrower delivers evidence reasonably satisfactory to Lender that the Working Capital Peg Balance sufficiently cover such amounts. Amounts so deposited shall hereinafter be referred to as Borrower’s “Replacement Reserve Fund” and the account in which such amounts are held shall hereinafter be referred to as Borrower’s “Replacement Reserve Account”.

7.3.2 Disbursements from Replacement Reserve Account. (a) Lender shall make disbursements from the Replacement Reserve Account to pay Borrower only for the costs of the Replacements upon satisfaction of the requirements set forth in this Section 7.3.2. Lender shall not be obligated to make disbursements from the Replacement Reserve Account to reimburse Borrower for the costs which are to be reimbursed from the Required Repair Fund.

(b) Lender shall disburse to Borrower the Replacement Reserve Funds from the Replacement Reserve Account from time to time upon satisfaction by Borrower of each of the following conditions: (i) Borrower shall submit a written request for payment to Lender at least five (5) days prior to the date on which Borrower requests such payment be made and specifies the Replacements to be paid, (ii) on the date such payment is to be made, no Event of Default shall exist and remain uncured and (iii) Lender shall have received an Officer’s Certificate: (A) stating that, to Borrower’s knowledge, all Replacements to be funded by the requested disbursement have been performed in good and workmanlike manner and in accordance with all applicable federal, state and local laws, rules and regulations, in all material respects, (B) identifying each Person that supplied materials or labor in connection with such Replacements to be funded by the requested disbursement, and (C) stating that each such Person has been paid or will be paid the amounts then due and payable to such Person in connection with the Replacements with the proceeds of such disbursement, such Officer’s Certificate to be accompanied by lien waivers or other evidence of payment satisfactory to Lender. Lender shall not be required to make disbursements from the Replacement Reserve Account with respect to the Property unless such requested disbursement is in an amount greater than Twenty-Five Thousand and No/100 Dollars ($25,000.00) (or a lesser amount if the total amount in the Required Repair Account is less than $25,000.00), in which case only one disbursement of the amount remaining in the account shall be made) and such disbursement shall be made only upon satisfaction of each condition contained in this Section 7.3.2. Subject to Section 7.3.2(c) below, in no event shall Lender be obligated to disburse funds to Borrower from the Replacement Reserve Account if an Event of Default exists.

(c) Notwithstanding the foregoing, except during the continuance of an Event of Default, Lender shall make disbursements from the Replacement Reserve Account at the request of Manager upon receipt of a certificate (i) setting forth the amount of the requested disbursement, (ii) certifying that the requested disbursement will be used for FF&E as required by, and provided in the applicable Management Agreement and (iii) certifying that the amounts being requested are in accordance with the budget provided under the Management Agreement, subject to variances permitted thereby.

7.3.3 Performance of Replacements. (a) Borrower shall make Replacements when required in order to keep each Individual Property in good condition and repair and to keep the Property or any portion thereof from deteriorating consistent with the requirements of the Management Agreement. Borrower shall complete all Replacements in a good and workmanlike manner as soon as practicable following the commencement of making each such Replacement.

 

-134-


(b) During a Cash Trap Period, Lender reserves the right, at its option, to approve all contracts or work orders for amounts in excess of Four Million and No/100 Dollars ($4,000,000.00) (such approval not to be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned) with materialmen, mechanics, suppliers, subcontractors, contractors or other parties providing labor or materials in connection with the Replacements. Upon Lender’s request, Borrower shall assign any contract or subcontract to Lender.

(c) During the continuance of an Event of Default, in the event Lender determines in its reasonable discretion that any Replacement is not being performed in a workmanlike or timely manner or that any Replacement has not been completed in a workmanlike or timely manner, upon three (3) Business Days written notice to Borrower, Lender shall have the option to withhold disbursement for such unsatisfactory Replacement and to proceed under existing contracts or to contract with third parties to complete such Replacement and to apply the Replacement Reserve Fund toward the labor and materials necessary to complete such Replacement and, without providing the requirement of providing any prior notice to Borrower, to exercise any and all other remedies available to Lender upon an Event of Default hereunder.

(d) During the continuance of an Event of Default, in order to facilitate Lender’s completion or making of such Replacements pursuant to Section 7.3.3(c) above, Borrower grants Lender the right to enter onto any Individual Property and perform any and all work and labor necessary to complete or make such Replacements and/or employ watchmen to protect such Individual Property from damage (subject to the rights of Tenants). All sums so expended by Lender, to the extent not from the Replacement Reserve Fund, shall be deemed to have been advanced under the Loan to Borrower and secured by the Mortgages. For this purpose Borrower constitutes and appoints Lender its true and lawful attorney in fact with full power of substitution to complete or undertake such Replacements in the name of Borrower. Such power of attorney shall be deemed to be a power coupled with an interest and cannot be revoked. Borrower empowers said attorney in fact for this purpose as follows: (i) to use any funds in the Replacement Reserve Account for the purpose of making or completing such Replacements; (ii) to make such additions, changes and corrections to such Replacements as shall be necessary or desirable to complete such Replacements; (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 any Individual Property, or as may be necessary or desirable for the completion of such Replacements, or for clearance of title; (v) to execute all applications and certificates in the name of Borrower which may be reasonably required by any of the contract documents; (vi) to prosecute and defend all actions or proceedings in connection with any Individual Property or the rehabilitation and repair of any Individual Property; and (vii) to do any and every reasonable act which Borrower might do in its own behalf to fulfill the terms of this Agreement.

(e) Nothing in this Section 7.3.3 shall: (i) make Lender responsible for making or completing any Replacements; (ii) require Lender to expend funds in addition to the Replacement Reserve Fund to make or complete any Replacement; (iii) obligate Lender to proceed with any Replacements; or (iv) obligate Lender to demand from Borrower additional sums to make or complete any Replacement.

 

-135-


(f) If reasonably determined to be necessary, Borrower shall permit Lender and Lender’s agents and representatives (including, without limitation, Lender’s engineer, architect, or inspector) or third parties making Replacements pursuant to this Section 7.3.3 to enter onto each Individual Property during normal business hours (subject to the rights of Tenants under their Leases) to inspect the progress of any Replacements and all materials being used in connection therewith, to examine all plans and shop drawings relating to such Replacements which are or may be kept at each Individual Property, and, during the continuance of an Event of Default, to complete any Replacements made pursuant to this Section 7.3.3. Borrower shall cause all contractors and subcontractors to cooperate with Lender or Lender’s representatives or such other persons described above in connection with inspections described in this Section 7.3.3(f) or the completion of Replacements pursuant to this Section 7.3.3.

(g) During a Cash Trap Period and in connection with any single Replacement in excess of Four Million and No/100 Dollars ($4,000,000.00), Lender may require an inspection of the Individual Property at Borrower’s expense prior to making a monthly disbursement from the Replacement Reserve Account in order to verify completion of the Replacements for which reimbursement is sought (or portion thereof in the case of periodic payments). Lender may require that such inspection be conducted by an appropriate independent qualified professional selected by Lender and reasonably approved by Borrower and/or may require a copy of a certificate of completion by an independent qualified professional reasonably acceptable to Lender prior to the disbursement of any amounts from the Replacement Reserve Account. Borrower shall pay the actual out-of-pocket expense of the inspection as required hereunder, whether such inspection is conducted by Lender or by an independent qualified professional.

(h) The Replacements and all materials, equipment, fixtures, or any other item comprising a part of any Replacement shall be constructed, installed or completed, as applicable, free and clear of all mechanic’s, materialmen’s or other liens (except for those Liens existing on the date of this Agreement which have been approved in writing by Lender).

(i) All Replacements shall comply in all material respects with all applicable Legal Requirements of all Governmental Authorities having jurisdiction over the applicable Individual Property and applicable insurance requirements including, without limitation, applicable building codes, special use permits, environmental regulations, and requirements of insurance underwriters.

(j) In addition to any insurance required under the Loan Documents, Borrower shall provide or cause to be provided workmen’s compensation insurance, builder’s risk, and public liability insurance and other insurance to the extent required under applicable law in connection with a particular Replacement. All such policies shall be in form and amount reasonably satisfactory to Lender. All such policies which can be endorsed with standard mortgagee clauses making loss payable to Lender or its assigns shall be so endorsed. Certified copies of such policies shall be delivered to Lender.

 

-136-


7.3.4 Failure to Make Replacements. (a) It shall be an Event of Default under this Agreement if Borrower fails to comply with any provision of this Section 7.3 and such failure is not cured within thirty (30) days after Borrower’s receipt of written notice from Lender. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of such an Event of Default, Lender may use the Replacement Reserve Fund (or any portion thereof) for any purpose, including but not limited to completion of the Replacements as provided in Section 7.3.3, or for any other repair or replacement to any Individual Property or toward payment of the Debt in such order, proportion and priority as Lender may determine in its sole discretion. Lender’s right to withdraw and apply the Replacement Reserve Fund shall be in addition to all other rights and remedies provided to Lender under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.

(b) Nothing in this Agreement shall obligate Lender to apply all or any portion of the Replacement Reserve Fund on account of an Event of Default to payment of the Debt or in any specific order or priority.

7.3.5 Balance in the Replacement Reserve Account. The insufficiency of any balance in the Replacement Reserve Account shall not relieve Borrower from its obligation to fulfill all preservation and maintenance covenants in the Loan Documents. Provided no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, any amount remaining in the Replacement Reserve Account after the termination of any Debt Yield Trigger Period shall be deposited into the Cash Management Account and applied in accordance with the Cash Management Agreement. Any amount remaining in the Replacement Reserve Account after the Debt has been paid in full shall be returned to Borrower.

Section 7.4 Ground Lease Reserve Fund.

7.4.1 Deposits to Ground Lease Fund. Subject to the last sentence of Section 7.4.2, on each Payment Date during a Cash Trap Period, Borrower shall pay to Lender one-twelfth of the rents (including both base rent and additional rents (excluding any Taxes otherwise reserved for hereunder)) (collectively, the “Ground Rent”) due under the Ground Lease during the next ensuing twelve (12) months in order to accumulate with Lender sufficient funds to pay all such Ground Rent at least thirty (30) days prior to the respective due dates; provided that, to the extent Ground Rent for any Individual Property is reserved for in a Manager Account maintained by Manager pursuant to a Management Agreement or are previously paid for by such Manager pursuant to such Management Agreement and Borrower delivers to Lender the invoices or other evidence of payment or that such Manager is holding such funds in the Working Capital Peg Balance being held in the Operating Account, the required deposit to the Ground Lease Reserve Account with respect to such Individual Property will be reduced on a dollar-for-dollar basis by such amount. Amounts so deposited shall hereinafter be referred to as the “Ground Lease Reserve Fund” and the account in which such amounts are held shall hereinafter be referred to as the “Ground Lease Reserve Account”.

7.4.2 Release of Ground Lease Reserve Fund. Lender shall apply amounts in the Ground Lease Reserve Fund to the payment of the Ground Rent. In making any payment relating to the Ground Rent, Lender may do so according to any bill, statement or estimate procured from the Ground Lessor under the Ground Lease, without inquiry into the accuracy of such bill, statement or estimate. If the amount of Ground Lease Reserve Funds shall exceed the

 

-137-


amounts due for the Ground Rent under the Ground Lease for the immediately succeeding twelve (12) months as determined by Lender, Lender shall return any excess to Borrower. Any amounts remaining in the Ground Lease Reserve Fund after the Debt has been paid in full shall be returned to Borrower. If at any time Lender reasonably determines that the Ground Lease Reserve Fund is not or will not be sufficient to pay the Ground Rent by the dates set forth above, Lender shall provide written notice to Borrower of such determination and Borrower, commencing with the first Payment Date following receipt of such notice, shall increase its monthly payments to Lender by the amount that Lender estimates is sufficient to make up the deficiency at least thirty (30) days prior to the due date of the Ground Rent.

Section 7.5 Excess Cash Flow Reserve Fund. During a Cash Trap Period, Borrower shall deposit with Lender all Excess Cash Flow in the Cash Management Account, which shall be held by Lender as additional security for the Loan and amounts so held shall be hereinafter referred to as the “Excess Cash Flow Reserve Fund” and the account to which such amounts are held shall hereinafter be referred to as the “Excess Cash Flow Reserve Account”.

7.5.1 Release of Excess Cash Flow Reserve Funds. (a) During a Debt Yield Trigger Period, so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and no Bankruptcy Action of Borrower has occurred, upon written request of Borrower, Lender shall disburse within five (5) Business Days of Borrower’s request and no more frequently than bimonthly, Excess Cash Flow Reserve Funds for (i) payment of any Operating Expenses (including management fees and other fees, charges or costs, payable to Manager under the Management Agreement), (ii) emergency repairs and/or life safety issues (including any Capital Expenditures) at any Individual Property, (iii) Capital Expenditures set forth in the Approved Annual Budget or otherwise reasonably approved by Lender (after application of amounts then on deposit in the Replacement Reserve) and Pre-Approved Alterations, (iv) Hotel Taxes and Custodial Funds, (v) subject to Lender’s approval, payment of the cost of Replacements not otherwise paid for under Section 7.3 hereof, (vi) costs incurred in connection with the purchase of any Interest Rate Cap Agreement or Replacement Interest Rate Cap Agreement required under the Loan Documents, (vii) any fees and costs payable by Borrower subject to and in compliance with the Loan Documents, (viii) voluntary prepayment of the Loan in accordance with Section 2.4.1 hereof, or (ix) legal fees arising in connection with the Properties or the Borrower’s ownership and operation of the Properties; or (B) any defense of any enforcement by Lender of its rights under the Loan Documents, (x) audit, accounting and tax expenses arising in connection with the Properties or Borrower’s ownership and operation of the Properties, (xi) payment of shortfalls in the payment of Debt Service and any other amounts due and owing to Lender under the Loan Documents, (xii) payments under the Ground Lease, (xiii) costs associated with existing Leases or any new Leases entered into pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, including costs related to tenant improvement allowances, leasing commissions and Tenant-related Capital Expenditures (after application of amounts then on deposit in the Replacement Reserve Fund), (xiv) principal prepayments of the Loan in the amount necessary to satisfy a Debt Yield Cure, (xv) costs of Restoration in excess of available Net Proceeds, (xvi) payment of shortfalls in the required deposits into the Reserve Accounts (in each case, to the extent required in the Loan Agreement and the Cash Management Agreement), and (xvii) such other items as reasonably approved by Lender. Upon the occurrence of a Cash Sweep Event Cure, all Excess Cash Flow Reserve Funds shall be paid to Borrower.

 

-138-


(b) Any Excess Cash Flow Reserve Funds remaining on deposit in the Excess Cash Flow Reserve Account after the Debt and all amounts due to Lender have been paid in full shall be paid to Borrower.

Section 7.6 Intentionally Omitted.

Section 7.7 Intentionally Omitted.

Section 7.8 Intentionally Omitted.

Section 7.9 Intentionally Omitted.

Section 7.10 Reserve Funds, Generally. Borrower grants to Lender a first priority perfected security interest in each of the Reserve Funds and any and all monies now or hereafter deposited in each Reserve Fund as additional security for payment of the Debt. Until expended or applied in accordance herewith, the Reserve Funds shall constitute additional security for the Debt. Subject to Priority Waterfall Payments and payments made to Manager pursuant to Section 7.3.2(c) hereof, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, Lender may, in addition to any and all other rights and remedies available to Lender, apply any sums then present in any or all of the Reserve Funds to the payment of the Debt in any order in its sole discretion. The Reserve Funds shall not constitute trust funds and may be commingled with other monies held by Lender. The Reserve Funds shall be held in an Eligible Account in Permitted Investments in accordance with the terms and provisions of the Cash Management Agreement. All interest or other earnings on the Reserve Funds shall be added to and become a part of such Reserve Funds and shall be disbursed or applied, as applicable, in the same manner as other monies deposited in such Reserve Fund. Borrower shall be responsible for payment of any federal, state or local income or other tax applicable to the interest earned on the Reserve Funds credited or paid to Borrower. Borrower shall not, without obtaining the prior written consent of Lender, further pledge, assign or grant any security interest in any Reserve Fund or the monies deposited therein or permit any lien or encumbrance to attach thereto, or any levy to be made thereon, or any UCC-1 Financing Statements, except those naming Lender as the secured party, to be filed with respect thereto. Lender shall not be liable for any loss sustained on the investment of any funds constituting the Reserve Funds, provided such Reserve Funds are held in an Eligible Account in Permitted Investments in accordance with the terms and provisions of the Cash Management Agreement. Borrower shall indemnify Lender and hold Lender harmless from and against any and all actions, suits, claims, demands, liabilities, losses, damages, obligations and costs and expenses (including litigation costs and reasonable attorney’s fees and expenses) arising from or in any way connected with the Reserve Funds or the performance of the obligations for which the Reserve Funds were established. Borrower shall assign to Lender all rights and claims Borrower may have against all persons or entities supplying labor, materials or other services which are to be paid from or secured by the Reserve Funds; provided, however, that Lender may not pursue any such right or claim unless an Event of Default has occurred and remains uncured. Any amount remaining in the Reserve Funds after the Debt has been paid in full shall be returned to Borrower.

Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Borrower agrees that if an Event of Default is continuing (i) Lender is not subject to any “one action” or “election of remedies” law or rule, and (ii) all liens and other rights, remedies or privileges provided to Lender shall remain in full force and effect until Lender has exhausted all of its remedies against the Properties and each Mortgage has been foreclosed, sold and/or otherwise realized upon in satisfaction of the Debt or the Debt has been paid in full, including without limitation, any liquidation fees, workout fees, special servicing fees and interest payable on advances made by the Servicer with respect to delinquent debt service payments or expenses of curing Borrower’s defaults under the Loan Documents or other similar fees payable to Servicer or any special servicer in connection therewith.

(b) With respect to Borrower and the Properties, nothing contained herein or in any other Loan Document shall be construed as requiring Lender to resort to any Individual Property for the satisfaction of any of the Debt in any preference or priority to any other Individual Property, and Lender may seek satisfaction out of all of the Properties, or any part thereof, in its absolute discretion in respect of the Debt. In addition, Lender shall have the right from time to time to partially foreclose the Mortgages in any manner and for any amounts secured by the Mortgages then due and payable as determined by Lender in its sole discretion including, without limitation, the following circumstances: (i) in the event Borrower defaults beyond any applicable grace period in the payment of one or more scheduled payments of principal and interest, Lender may foreclose one or more of the Mortgages to recover such delinquent payments or (ii) in the event Lender elects to accelerate less than the entire outstanding principal balance of the Loan, Lender may foreclose one or more of the Mortgages to recover so much of the principal balance of the Loan as Lender may accelerate and such other sums secured by one or more of the Mortgages as Lender may elect. Notwithstanding one or more partial foreclosures, the Properties shall remain subject to the Mortgages to secure payment of sums secured by the Mortgages and not previously recovered.

(c) Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, Lender shall have the right from time to time to sever the Note and the other Loan Documents into one or more separate notes, mortgages and other security documents in a manner consistent with Section 9.1.2 hereof (the “Severed Loan Documents”) in such denominations as Lender

 

-143-


shall determine in its sole discretion for purposes of evidencing and enforcing its rights and remedies provided hereunder. Borrower shall execute and deliver to Lender from time to time, promptly after the request of Lender, a severance agreement and such other documents as Lender shall request in order to effect the severance described in the preceding sentence, all in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Lender. Borrower hereby absolutely and irrevocably appoint Lender as its respective true and lawful attorney, coupled with an interest, in its name and stead to make and execute all documents necessary or desirable to effect the aforesaid severance, Borrower ratifying all that its said attorney shall do by virtue thereof; provided, however, Lender shall not make or execute any such documents under such power until three (3) days after notice has been given to Borrower by Lender of Lender’s intent to exercise its rights under such power. Borrower shall be obligated to pay any costs or expenses incurred in connection with the preparation, execution, recording or filing of the Severed Loan Documents and the Severed Loan Documents shall not contain any representations, warranties or covenants not contained in the Loan Documents and any such representations and warranties contained in the Severed Loan Documents will be given by Borrower only as of the Closing Date.

(d) As used in this Section 8.2, a “foreclosure” shall include, without limitation, any sale by power of sale.

Section 8.3 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 Borrower pursuant to this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, or existing at law or in equity or otherwise. Lender’s rights, powers and remedies may be pursued 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 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.

ARTICLE IX

Section 9.1 Securitization.

9.1.1 Sale of Notes and Securitization. Borrower acknowledges and agrees that Lender may sell all or any portion of the Loan and the Loan Documents, or issue one or more participations therein, or consummate one or more private or public securitizations of rated single- or multi-class securities (the “Securities”) secured by or evidencing ownership interests in all or any portion of the Loan and the Loan Documents or a pool of assets that include the Loan and the Loan Documents (such sales, participations and/or securitizations, collectively, a “Securitization”). At the request of Lender and at its sole cost and expense, and to the extent not already provided by Borrower under this Agreement, Borrower shall use reasonable efforts to provide information in the possession or control of Borrower or its Affiliates and not in the

 

-144-

(a) provide additional and/or updated Provided Information;

(b) review, and comment on the Disclosure Documents delivered to Borrower in accordance with the terms of this Section 9.1, which Disclosure Documents shall be delivered to Borrower for review and comment by Borrower not less than three (3) Business Days prior to the date upon which Borrower is otherwise required to confirm such Disclosure Documents;

(c) deliver an updated Insolvency Opinion;

(d) deliver an opinion of New York counsel with respect to due execution and enforceability of the Loan Documents governed by New York law substantially the same as those delivered as of the Closing Date, which opinions shall be addressed, for purposes of reliance thereon, to each Person acquiring any interest in the Loan in connection with any Securitization, which counsel opinions shall be reasonably satisfactory to Lender and the Approved Rating Agencies;

(e) subject to Section 9.3 hereof, confirm the representations and warranties as set forth in the Loan Documents are true, complete and correct in all material respects as of the closing date of the Securitization with respect to the Property, Borrower and the Loan Documents (except to the extent that any such representations and warranties are and can only be made as of a specific date and the facts and circumstances upon which such representation and warranty is based are specific solely to a certain date in which case confirmation as to truth, completeness and correctness shall be provided as of such specific date or to the extent such representations are no longer true and correct as a result of subsequent events in which case Borrower shall provide an updated representation or warranty);

(f) if requested by Lender, review the sections of the Disclosure Document entitled “Risk Factors” (solely to the extent “Risk Factors” relate to Borrower, Guarantor, Manager, the Management Agreement and the Properties), “Special Considerations,” “Description of the Mortgage,” “Description of the Mortgage Loan and Mortgaged Property,” “Description of the Borrower,” “Description of the Property Manager, Management Agreement and Assignment and Subordination of Management Agreement” and “Annex E - Representations and Warranties of the Borrowers” (or sections similarly titled or covering similar subject matters);

(g) execute such amendments to the Loan Documents as may be reasonably necessary to reflect structural changes to the Loan, including, without limitation, immaterial changes related to the cash management structure, that are requested in writing from Lender, from time to time, prior to a Securitization; provided that any such amendments (i) shall not increase (x) any monetary obligation of Borrower or Guarantor, or (y) any other obligation or liability of Borrower under the Loan Documents in any material respect or (z) any other obligation or liability of Guarantor in any respect, (ii) shall not change the weighted average

 

-145-


spread of the Loan in place immediately prior to such amendment (except following an Event of Default or any prepayment of the Loan pursuant to Section 2.4.2 hereof or to the extent that the application of a prepayment to the Components of Loan pursuant to Section 2.4.1 results in “rate creep”), (iii) shall not affect the aggregate amortization of the Loan, (iv) shall not change the dates of the Interest Period, the Maturity Date or the Payment Date, (v) shall not affect the time periods during which Borrower is permitted to perform any obligations under the Loan Documents, (v) shall not decrease any of Borrower’s rights or remedies under the Loan Documents in any respect and (vi) any such amendments shall be in substantially the same form as the Loan Agreement; and

(h) if reasonably requested by Lender, Borrower shall provide Lender, within a reasonable period of time following Lender’s request, with any financial statements, or financial, statistical or operating information, as Lender shall reasonably determine to be required pursuant to Regulation AB under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), or the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), or any amendment, modification or replacement thereto or other legal requirements in connection with any Disclosure Documents or any filing pursuant to the Exchange Act in connection with the Securitization or as shall otherwise be reasonably requested by Lender, so long as providing such statements or information would not cause Borrower or its Affiliates to be in violation of applicable securities laws.

9.1.2 Loan Components. (a) Borrower covenants and agrees that prior to a Securitization of the Loan, upon Lender’s request Borrower shall (i) deliver one or more new notes to replace the original note or modify the original note and other loan documents, as reasonably required, to reflect additional components of the Loan or allocate spread or principal among any new components in Lender’s sole discretion, provided, (1) such new or modified note shall at all times have the same weighted average spread of the original Note (except following an Event of Default or any prepayment of the Loan pursuant to Section 2.4.2 hereof or to the extent that the application of a prepayment to the Components of Loan pursuant to Section 2.4.1 results in “rate creep”, it being understood that no such “rate creep” shall be permitted in connection with Section 2.4.1 between Component B-1 and Component B-2) and (2) no amortization of principal of the Loan will be required and (ii) modify the Cash Management Agreement to reflect such new components; and further provided, that none of the foregoing actions shall have a material adverse effect on Borrower or affect any of the rights or obligations of Borrower under the Loan Documents in any materially adverse respect. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, no reallocation or creation of new components pursuant to this Section 9.1.2, shall (i) reduce the percentage of the Loan permitted to be voluntarily prepaid without a Prepayment Premium prior to the applicable Yield Maintenance End Date or (ii) would result in a prepayment Premium that would not otherwise have been due as of the Closing Date based upon the definition of Prepayment Premium or Yield Maintenance Premium.

(b) Intentionally Omitted.

(c) Borrower shall execute and deliver such documents as shall reasonably be required by Lender in connection with this Section 9.1.2, all in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Lender and the Rating Agencies within ten (10) days following such request by

 

-146-


Lender. It shall be an Event of Default under this Agreement, the Note, the Mortgages and the other Loan Documents if Borrower fails to promptly comply in all material respects with the terms, covenants or conditions of this Section 9.1.2. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, Lender shall cause all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by Borrower in connection with this Section 9.1.2 (including, without limitation, any documentary stamp taxes, intangible taxes and other recording taxes) to be paid by Lender.

(d) Intentionally Omitted.

9.1.3 Uncross of Properties. Borrower agrees that at any time Lender shall have the unilateral right to elect to uncross any of the Properties (the “Affected Property”). In furtherance thereof, Lender shall have the right to (i) sever or divide the Note and the other Loan Documents in order to allocate to such Affected Property the applicable Release Amount evidenced by a new note and secured by such other loan documents (collectively, the “New Note”) having a principal amount equal to the Release Amount applicable to such Affected Property, (ii) segregate the applicable portion of each of the Reserve Funds relating to the Affected Property, (iii) release any cross-default and/or cross-collateralization provisions applicable to such Affected Property and (iv) take such additional action consistent therewith; provided, that (A) such New Note secured by such Affected Property, together with the Loan Documents secured by the remaining Properties, shall not (1) modify (w) the initial weighted average interest rate payable under the Note, (x) the stated maturity of all Notes combined, (y) the aggregate amortization of principal of the Note, (z) any other material economic term of the Loan, as any existed prior to the creation of the New Note and splitting of the Loan or (2) decrease the time periods during which the Borrower is required or permitted to perform its obligations under the Loan Documents, and (B) the New Note shall be in substantially the same form as the Loan Documents. In connection with the transfer of any such Affected Property as provided for in this Section 9.1.3, the Loan shall be reduced by an amount equal to amount of the Release Amount applicable to such Affected Property and the new loan secured by such Affected Property and evidenced by the New Note shall be in an amount equal to such Release Amount. Subsequent to the release of the Affected Property from the lien of the Loan pursuant to this Section 9.1.3, the balances of the components of the Loan shall be the same as they would have been had a prepayment occurred in an amount equal to the Release Amount of the Affected Property. At the request of Lender, Borrower shall otherwise cooperate with Lender’s reasonable requests in Lender’s attempt to satisfy the requirements necessary in order for Lender to obtain written confirmation from the Approved Rating Agencies that such transfer of the Affected Property from the Securitization and splitting of the Loan shall not cause a downgrade, withdrawal or qualification of the then current ratings of the Securities or any class thereof, which requirements shall include, without limitation: (A) delivery of evidence that would be reasonably satisfactory to a prudent lender that the single purpose nature and bankruptcy remoteness of the Borrowers owning Properties other than the Affected Property following such release have not been adversely affected and are in accordance with the terms and provisions of this Agreement (which evidence may include a “bring-down” of the Insolvency Opinion); and (B) if the same would be required by a prudent lender in such circumstances, an opinion of counsel that the release of the Affected Property will not be a “significant modification” of this Loan within the meaning of Section 1.1001-3 of the regulations of the United States Department of the Treasury, nor cause a Securitization Vehicle to fail to qualify as a REMIC Trust or Grantor Trust or a tax to be imposed on a Securitization Vehicle. Provided that no Event of Default shall

 

-147-


have occurred and be continuing under the Loan Documents, Lender shall cause all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by Borrower in connection with this Section 9.1.3 (including, without limitation, any documentary stamp taxes, intangible taxes, other recording taxes and any costs and expenses incurred by Borrower in connection with the transfer of the Affected Property to a Special Purpose Entity and the maintenance and operation of such Special Purpose Entity) to be paid by Lender.

9.1.4 Securitization Costs. All reasonable third party out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred by Borrower and Guarantor in connection with Borrower’s complying with requests made under Section 9.1 (including, without limitation, the fees and expenses of the Rating Agencies) shall be paid by Lender. All of Lender’s costs and expenses, including Lender’s legal fees, incurred in connection with a Securitization shall be paid by Lender.

Section 9.2 Securitization Indemnification. (a) Borrower understands that certain of the Provided Information may be included in Disclosure Documents in connection with the Securitization and may also be included in filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to the Securities Act, or Exchange Act or provided or made available to investors or prospective investors in the Securities, the Rating Agencies, and service providers relating to the Securitization. In the event that the Disclosure Document is required to be revised prior to the sale of all Securities, Borrower will cooperate with the holder of the Note in updating the Covered Disclosure Information by providing all current information necessary to keep the Covered Disclosure Information accurate and complete in all material respects.

(b) The Indemnifying Persons agree to provide, in connection with the Securitization, an indemnification agreement (A) certifying that (i) the Indemnifying Persons have, at Lender’s request in connection with each Securitization, reviewed the sections of the Disclosure Documents entitled “Risk Factors” (solely to the extent the “Risk Factors” relate to Borrower, Guarantor, the Management Agreement and the Properties), “Special Considerations,” “Description of the Mortgage,” “Description of the Mortgage Loan and Mortgaged Property,” “Description of the Borrower,” “Description of the Property Manager, Management Agreement and Assignment and Subordination of Management Agreement” and “Annex E – Representations and Warranties of the Borrowers” (collectively with the Provided Information, the “Covered Disclosure Information”) and (ii) the Covered Disclosure Information does not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements made, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, (B) jointly and severally indemnifying Lender, any Affiliate of Lender that has filed any registration statement relating to the Securitization or has acted as the sponsor or depositor in connection with the Securitization, any Affiliate of Lender that acts as an underwriter, placement agent or initial purchaser of Securities issued in the Securitization, any other co-underwriters, co-placement agents or co-initial purchasers of Securities issued in the Securitization, and each of their respective officers, directors, partners, employees, representatives, agents and Affiliates and each Person or entity who Controls any such Person within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act (collectively, the “Indemnified Persons”), for any losses, claims, damages, liabilities, costs or expenses (including without limitation reasonable legal fees and expenses for enforcement of these obligations (collectively, the “Liabilities”) to which any such Indemnified Person may become subject insofar as the Liabilities arise out of or are based upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of any

 

-148-


material fact contained in the Covered Disclosure Information or arise out of or are based upon the omission or alleged omission to state in the Covered Disclosure Information a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements in the Covered Disclosure Information, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading and (C) agreeing to reimburse each Indemnified Person for any legal or other expenses incurred by such Indemnified Person, as they are incurred, in connection with investigating or defending the Liabilities. This indemnity agreement will be in addition to any liability which Borrower may otherwise have. Moreover, the indemnification and reimbursement obligations provided for in clauses (B) and (C) above shall be effective, valid and binding obligations of Indemnifying Persons, whether or not an indemnification agreement described in clause (A) above is provided.

(c) In connection with Exchange Act Filings, the Indemnifying Persons jointly and severally agree to indemnify (i) the Indemnified Persons for Liabilities to which any such Indemnified Person may become subject insofar as the Liabilities arise out of or are based upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of any material fact in the Covered Disclosure Information, or the omission or alleged omission to state in the Covered Disclosure Information a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements in the Covered Disclosure Information, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading and (ii) reimburse each Indemnified Person for any legal or other expenses incurred by such Indemnified Persons, as they are incurred, in connection with defending or investigating the Liabilities.

(d) Promptly after receipt by an Indemnified Person of notice of any claim or the commencement of any action, the Indemnified Person shall, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against any Indemnifying Person, notify such Indemnifying Person in writing of the claim or the commencement of that action; provided, however, that the failure to notify such Indemnifying Person shall not relieve it from any liability which it may have under the indemnification provisions of this Section 9.2 except to the extent that it has been materially prejudiced by such failure and, provided, further, that the failure to notify such Indemnifying Person shall not relieve it from any liability which it may have to an Indemnified Person otherwise than under the provisions of this Section 9.2. If any such claim or action shall be brought against an Indemnified Person, and it shall notify any Indemnifying Person thereof, such Indemnifying Person shall be entitled to participate therein and, to the extent that it wishes, assume the defense thereof with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Person. After notice from any Indemnifying Person to the Indemnified Person of its election to assume the defense of such claim or action, such Indemnifying Person shall not be liable to the Indemnified Person for any legal or other expenses subsequently incurred by the Indemnified Person in connection with the defense thereof except as provided in the following sentence; provided, however, if the defendants in any such action include both an Indemnifying Person, on the one hand, and one or more Indemnified Persons on the other hand, and an Indemnified Person shall have reasonably concluded that there are any legal defenses available to it and/or other Indemnified Persons that are different or in addition to those available to the Indemnifying Person, the Indemnified Person or Persons shall have the right to select separate counsel to assert such legal defenses and to otherwise participate in the defense of such action on behalf of such Indemnified Person or Persons. The Indemnified Person shall instruct its counsel to maintain reasonably detailed billing records for fees and disbursements for which such Indemnified

 

-149-


Person is seeking reimbursement hereunder and shall submit copies of such detailed billing records to substantiate that such counsel’s fees and disbursements are solely related to the defense of a claim for which the Indemnifying Person is required hereunder to indemnify such Indemnified Person. No Indemnifying Person shall be liable for the expenses of more than one (1) such separate counsel unless such Indemnified Person shall have reasonably concluded that there may be legal defenses available to it that are different from or additional to those available to another Indemnified Person.

(e) Without the prior written consent of Lender or its designee (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed), no Indemnifying Person shall settle or compromise or consent to the entry of any judgment in any pending or threatened claim, action, suit or proceeding in respect of which indemnification may be sought hereunder (whether or not any Indemnified Person is an actual or potential party to such claim, action, suit or proceeding) unless the Indemnifying Person shall have given Lender or its designee reasonable prior written notice thereof and shall have obtained an unconditional release of each Indemnified Person hereunder from all liability arising out of such claim, action, suit or proceedings. As long as an Indemnifying Person has complied with its obligations to defend and indemnify hereunder, such Indemnifying Person shall not be liable for any settlement made by any Indemnified Person without the consent of such Indemnifying Person (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed).

(f) The Indemnifying Persons agree that if any indemnification or reimbursement sought pursuant to this Section 9.2 is finally judicially determined to be unavailable for any reason or is insufficient to hold any Indemnified Person harmless (with respect only to the Liabilities that are the subject of this Section 9.2), then the Indemnifying Persons, on the one hand, and such Indemnified Person, on the other hand, shall contribute to the Liabilities for which such indemnification or reimbursement is held unavailable or is insufficient: (x) in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative benefits to the Indemnifying Persons, on the one hand, and such Indemnified Person, on the other hand, from the transactions to which such indemnification or reimbursement relates; or (y) if the allocation provided by clause (x) above is not permitted by applicable law, in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only the relative benefits referred to in clause (x) but also the relative faults of the Indemnifying Persons, on the one hand, and all Indemnified Persons, on the other hand, as well as any other equitable considerations. Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 9.2, (A) no party found liable for a fraudulent misrepresentation shall be entitled to contribution from any other party who is not also found liable for such fraudulent misrepresentation, and (B) the Indemnifying Persons agree that in no event shall the amount to be contributed by the Indemnified Persons collectively pursuant to this paragraph exceed the amount of the fees actually received by the Indemnified Persons in connection with the closing of the Loan and Securitization.

(g) The Indemnifying Persons agree that the indemnification, contribution and reimbursement obligations set forth in this Section 9.2 shall apply whether or not any Indemnified Person is a formal party to any lawsuits, claims or other proceedings. The Indemnifying Persons further agree that the Indemnified Persons are intended third party beneficiaries under this Section 9.2.

 

-150-


(h) The liabilities and obligations of the Indemnified Persons and the Indemnifying Persons under this Section 9.2 shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the satisfaction and discharge of the Debt.

(i) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, Borrower shall have no obligation to act as depositor with respect to the Loan or an issuer or registrant with respect to the Securities issued in any Securitization.

Section 9.3 Exculpation. (a) Subject to the qualifications set forth in this Section 9.3, Lender shall not enforce the liability and obligation of Borrower to perform and observe the obligations contained in the Note, this Agreement, the Mortgages or the other Loan Documents by any action or proceeding wherein a money judgment shall be sought against Borrower, except that Lender may bring a foreclosure action, an action for specific performance or any other appropriate action or proceeding to enable Lender to enforce and realize upon its interest under the Note, this Agreement, the Mortgages and the other Loan Documents, or in the Properties, the Rents, or any other collateral given to Lender pursuant to the Loan Documents; provided, however, that, except as specifically provided herein, any judgment in any such action or proceeding shall be enforceable against Borrower only to the extent of Borrower’s interest in the Properties, in the Rents and in any other collateral given to Lender, and Lender, by accepting the Note, this Agreement, the Mortgages and the other Loan Documents, agrees that it shall not sue for, seek or demand any deficiency judgment against Borrower in any such action or proceeding under or by reason of or under or in connection with the Note, this Agreement, the Mortgages or the other Loan Documents. The provisions of this Section shall not, however, (i) constitute a waiver, release or impairment of any obligation evidenced or secured by any of the Loan Documents; (ii) impair the right of Lender to name Borrower as a party defendant in any action or suit for foreclosure and sale under any of the Mortgages; (iii) affect the validity or enforceability of or any guaranty made in connection with the Loan or any of the rights and remedies of Lender thereunder; (iv) impair the right of Lender to obtain the appointment of a receiver; (v) impair the enforcement of any assignment of leases contained in the Mortgage; or (vi) constitute a prohibition against Lender to seek a deficiency judgment against Borrower in order to fully realize the security granted by each of the Mortgages or to commence any other appropriate action or proceeding in order for Lender to exercise its remedies against all of the Properties.

(b) Nothing contained herein shall in any manner or way release, affect or impair 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 to the extent actually incurred by Lender (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs reasonably incurred) arising out of or incurred in connection with the following actions or omissions on the part of Guarantor, Borrower, any Affiliated Manager or any Affiliate of Guarantor, Borrower or any Affiliated Manager:

(i) fraud or material and willful misrepresentation by Borrower, Principal, Guarantor, Affiliated Manager or any Affiliate of Borrower, Principal, Guarantor or any Affiliated Manager in connection with the Loan;

 

-151-


(ii) willful misconduct by Borrower, Principal, Guarantor, Affiliated Manager or any Affiliate of Borrower, Principal, Guarantor or any Affiliated Manager, that results in physical damage or waste to any Property;

(iii) the removal or disposal by, or on behalf, of Borrower, Principal, Guarantor, Affiliated Manager or any Affiliate of Borrower, Principal, Guarantor or any Affiliated Manager, or any portion of any Property during the continuance of an Event of Default;

(iv) the misappropriation or conversion by any Individual Borrower, Principal, Guarantor, Affiliated Manager or any Affiliate of Borrower, Principal, Guarantor or any Affiliated Manager of (A) any Insurance Proceeds paid by reason of a Casualty, (B) any Awards received in connection with a Condemnation of all or a portion of any Individual Property, (C) any Rents during the continuance of an Event of Default, or (D) any Rents paid more than one month in advance;

(v) a material breach of any covenant set forth in Section 5.1.28(a), (b) or (c) hereof;

(vi) if Borrower fails to obtain Lender’s prior written consent to any financing or other voluntary Lien encumbering any Individual Property, if such consent is required in accordance with the applicable provisions of the Loan Documents;

(vii) any material amendment, material modification or voluntary termination of any Ground Lease by Borrower without Lender’s prior written consent other than as expressly permitted under the Loan Agreement;

(viii) if Borrower fails to obtain Lender’s prior written consent to any Sale or Pledge of the Property or a Transfer of the ownership interests in Borrower, in each case, as required by Section 5.2.10 hereof, and in each case, excluding Permitted Transfers, Permitted Encumbrances and any other Lien expressly permitted under the Loan Documents. For the avoidance of doubt, a Transfer resulting from the exercise of Lender’s rights under the Loan Documents or the consummation of any remedial or enforcement action by the Lender of the collateral for the Loan, including, without limitation, any foreclosure, deed-in-lieu or assignment in lieu of foreclosure and the exercise of any rights of Lender under the Mortgages, including, without limitation, any right to vote any pledged securities or any right to replace officers and directors of any Person (collectively, a “Foreclosure”), shall not be a Transfer in violation of Section 5.2.10 hereof; or

(ix) in the event that the leasehold estate created by the Waikoloa Ground Lease shall be surrendered by or on behalf of Borrower or the Waikoloa Ground Lease shall be terminated or canceled as a result of Borrower’s rejection of the Waikoloa Ground Lease in a bankruptcy proceeding. Notwithstanding the foregoing, on such date (the “Satisfaction Date”) that is the earlier to occur of (i) the date Borrower delivers an executed estoppel or other written confirmation from the applicable Ground Lessor reasonably satisfactory to Lender pursuant to which Ground Lessor agrees to enter into a

 

-152-


new lease with Lender on substantially the same terms as the Waikoloa Ground Lease for the remainder of its term and (ii) the date that either the Waikoloa Property is released in accordance with the terms of Section 2.5 hereof or the Waikoloa Ground Lease is released as a Release Parcel in accordance with Section 2.5.6 hereof, Borrower shall be released from liability with respect to this Section 9.3(b)(ix) with respect to acts or omissions occurring from and after the Satisfaction Date.

(c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the Note or any of the Loan Documents, (i) Lender shall not be deemed to have waived any right which Lender may have under Section 506(a), 506(b), 1111(b) or any other provisions of the Bankruptcy Code to file a claim for the full amount of the Debt secured by the Mortgages or to require that all collateral shall continue to secure all of the Debt owing to Lender in accordance with the Loan Documents, and (ii) the Debt shall be fully recourse to Borrower in the event of: (A) any Individual Borrower or Principal filing a voluntary petition under the Bankruptcy Code or any other Federal or state bankruptcy or insolvency law; (B) the filing of an involuntary petition by any Person against any Individual Borrower or Principal under the Bankruptcy Code or any other Federal or state bankruptcy or insolvency law in which any Individual Borrower, Principal or Guarantor or any Affiliate of Borrower, Principal or Guarantor colludes with, or otherwise assists, such Person, or solicits or causes to be solicited petitioning creditors for any involuntary petition against any Individual Borrower or Principal, by any Person; (C) any Individual Borrower, Principal or Guarantor or any Affiliate of Borrower, Principal or Guarantor filing an answer consenting to or otherwise acquiescing in or joining in any involuntary petition filed against it, by any other Person under the Bankruptcy Code or any other Federal or state bankruptcy or insolvency law or (D) any Individual Borrower or Principal, consenting to or acquiescing in or joining in an application for the appointment of a custodian, receiver, trustee, or examiner for any Individual Borrower or Principal, or any portion of the Properties.

Section 9.5 Servicer. At the option of Lender, the Loan may be serviced by a master servicer, primary servicer, special servicer and/or trustee (any such master servicer, primary servicer, special servicer, and trustee, together with its agents, nominees or designees, are collectively referred to as servicer (“Servicer”) selected by Lender and Lender may delegate all or any portion of its responsibilities under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents to Servicer pursuant to a pooling and servicing agreement, special servicing agreement or other agreement providing for the servicing of one or more mortgage loans (collectively, the “Servicing Agreement”) between Lender and Servicer. Lender shall be responsible for any reasonable set-up fees or any other initial costs relating to or arising under the Servicing Agreement and Borrower shall not be responsible for payment of the regular monthly master servicing fee or trustee fee due to Servicer or the trustee under the Servicing Agreement or any fees or expenses required to be borne by Servicer. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Borrower shall promptly reimburse Lender on demand for the following: all actual out-of-pocket reasonable costs and expenses, liquidation fees, workout fees, special servicing fees, operating advisor fees, certificate administrator fees or any other similar fees and to the extent charges pursuant to Section 2.3.4 hereof and interest at the Default Rate actually paid by Borrower is insufficient to pay for same, interest payable on advances made by the Servicer or the trustee with respect to (a) delinquent Debt Service payments or expenses of curing Borrower’s defaults under the Loan Documents, payable by Lender to Servicer or a trustee and provided for under the Servicing Agreement or actual out-of-pocket reasonable expenses paid by Servicer or a trustee in respect of the protection and preservation of the Properties (including, without limitation, payments of Taxes and Insurance Premiums), (b) as a result of an Event of Default under the Loan or the Loan becoming specially serviced, an enforcement, refinancing or restructuring of the credit arrangements provided under this Agreement in the nature of a “work-out” of the Loan Documents or of any insolvency or bankruptcy proceeding of any Borrower or (c) the costs of all property inspections and/or appraisals of the Properties (or any updates to any existing inspection or appraisal) that Servicer may be required to obtain (other than the cost of regular annual inspections required to be borne by Servicer under the Servicing Agreement). Additionally, Borrower shall pay the customary and reasonable servicing fees in connection with any special requests made by Borrower or Guarantor during the term of the Loan including, without limitation, in connection with a prepayment, assumption or modification of the Loan. Lender shall grant or deny with a reasonable explanation any consent required hereunder within fifteen (15) day period (or such shorter period as provided in this Agreement) after the receipt of the applicable request and all documents in connection therewith. In the event that Lender fails to respond within said fifteen (15) day period (or such shorter period as provided in this Agreement), such failure shall be deemed to be the consent and approval of Lender if (A) Borrower has delivered to Lender the applicable documents, with the notation “IMMEDIATE RESPONSE REQUIRED, FAILURE TO RESPOND TO THIS APPROVAL REQUEST WITHIN FIFTEEN (15) DAYS (OR SUCH SHORTER PERIOD AS PROVIDE IN THIS AGREEMENT) FROM RECEIPT SHALL BE DEEMED TO BE LENDER’S APPROVAL” prominently displayed in bold, all caps and fourteen (14) point or larger font in the transmittal letter requesting approval and (B) Lender does not approve or reject (with a reasonable

explanation) the applicable request within fifteen (15) days (or such shorter period as provided in this Agreement) from the date Lender receives such request as evidenced by a certified mail return receipt or confirmation by a reputable national overnight delivery service that the same has been delivered.

Section 9.6 Intentionally Omitted.

Section 9.7 Register. (a) The Servicer, or if no Servicer has been engaged, Lender, as non-fiduciary agent of Borrower, shall maintain a record that identifies each owner (including successors and assignees) of an interest in the Loan, including the name and address of the owner, and each owner’s rights to principal and stated interest (the “Register”), and shall record all transfers of an interest in the Loan, including each assignment, in the Register. Transfers of interests in the Loan (including assignments) shall be subject to the applicable conditions set forth in the Loan Documents with respect thereto and Servicer will update the Register to reflect the transfer. Furthermore, each Lender that sells a participation shall, acting solely for this purpose as agent of Borrower, maintain a register on which it enters the name and address of each participant and the principal amounts and stated interest of each participant’s interest (the “Participant Register”); provided that no Lender shall have any obligation to disclose all or any portion of the Participant Register to any Person (including the identity of any participant or any information relating to a participant’s interest) except to the extent that such disclosure is necessary to establish that such obligation is in registered form under Section 5f.103-1(c) of the U.S. Department of Treasury regulations. The entries in the Register and Participant Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error. The Borrower, the Lenders and the Servicer shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement, and the Borrower, the Lenders and the Servicer shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Participant Register pursuant to the terms hereof as the owner of such participation for all purposes of this Agreement. Failure to make any such recordation, or any error in such recordation, however, shall not affect Borrower’s obligations in respect of the Loan. Borrower and Lender acknowledge that the Notes are in registered form and may not be transferred except by register.

(b) Borrower agrees that each participant pursuant to Section 9.1.1(a) shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 2.2.3(f) and (h) and Section 2.7 (subject to the requirements and limitations therein, including the requirements under Section 2.7(e) (it being understood that the documentation required under Section 2.7(e) shall be delivered to the participating Lender)) to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment; provided that such participant (A) agrees to be subject to the provisions of Section 2.7(h) as if it were an assignee hereunder; and (B) shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Section 2.2.3(f) or Section 2.7, with respect to any participation, than its participating Lender would have been entitled to receive, except to the extent such entitlement to receive a greater payment results from a change in a requirement of law or in the interpretation or application thereof, or compliance by such participant or the participating Lender with any request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) issued from any central bank or other Governmental Authority, in each case after the participant acquired the applicable participation.

(a) Borrower covenants and agrees to pay or, if Borrower fails to pay, to reimburse, Lender upon receipt of written notice from Lender for all reasonable costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses) incurred by Lender in connection with (i) the preparation, negotiation, execution and delivery of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby (other than a Securitization) and all the costs of furnishing all opinions by counsel for Borrower (including without limitation any opinions requested by Lender as to any legal matters arising under this Agreement or the other Loan Documents with respect to the Properties) subject to the terms and provisions of Section 9.1.4 hereof; (ii) Borrower’s ongoing performance of and compliance with Borrower’s respective agreements and covenants contained in this Agreement and the other Loan Documents on its part to be performed or complied with after the Closing Date, including, without limitation, confirming compliance with environmental and insurance requirements; (iii) Lender’s ongoing performance and compliance with all agreements and conditions contained in this Agreement and the other Loan Documents on its part to be performed or complied with after the Closing Date; (iv) the negotiation, preparation, execution, delivery and administration of any consents, amendments, waivers or other modifications to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and any other documents or matters reasonably requested by Borrower; (v) securing Borrower’s compliance with any requests made pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement; (vi) the filing and recording fees and expenses, title insurance and fees and expenses of counsel for providing to Lender all required legal opinions, and other similar expenses incurred in creating and perfecting the Liens in favor of Lender pursuant to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents; (vii) enforcing or preserving any rights, in response to third party claims or the prosecuting or defending of any action or proceeding or other litigation, in each case against, under or affecting Borrower, this Agreement, the other Loan Documents, the Properties, or any other security given for the Loan; and (viii) enforcing any obligations of or collecting any payments due from Borrower under this Agreement, the other Loan Documents or with respect to the Properties (including any fees and expenses reasonably incurred by or payable to Servicer or a trustee in connection with the transfer of the Loan to a special servicer upon Servicer’s anticipation of a Default or Event of Default, liquidation fees, workout fees, special servicing fees, operating advisor fees or any other similar fees and interest payable on advances made by the Servicer with respect to delinquent debt service payments or expenses of curing Borrowers’ defaults under the Loan Documents) or in connection with any refinancing or restructuring of the credit arrangements provided under this Agreement in the nature of a “work out” or of any insolvency or bankruptcy proceedings or any other amounts required under Section 9.5 hereof, provided,

 

-161-


however, that Borrower shall not be liable for the payment of any such costs and expenses to the extent the same arise by reason of the gross negligence, illegal acts, fraud or willful misconduct of Lender. Any cost and expenses due and payable to Lender may be paid from any amounts in the Cash Management Account.

(b) Borrower shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless the Indemnified Parties from and against any and all other liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, claims, costs, expenses and disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever (including, without limitation, the reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel in connection with any investigative, administrative or judicial proceeding commenced or threatened, whether or not an Indemnified Party shall be designated a party thereto), that may be imposed on, incurred by, or asserted against any Indemnified Party in any manner relating to or arising out of (i) any breach by Borrower of its obligations under, or any material misrepresentation by Borrower contained in, this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, or (ii) the use or intended use of the proceeds of the Loan (collectively, the “Indemnified Liabilities”); provided, however, that Borrower shall not have any obligation to any Indemnified Party hereunder to the extent that such Indemnified Liabilities arise from the gross negligence, illegal acts, fraud or willful misconduct of such Indemnified Party; provided, further, that this Section 10.13(b) shall not apply with respect to taxes other than any taxes that represent losses or damages arising from any non-tax claim. To the extent that the undertaking to indemnify, defend and hold harmless set forth in the preceding sentence may be unenforceable because it violates any law or public policy, Borrower shall pay the maximum portion that it is permitted to pay and satisfy under applicable law to the payment and satisfaction of all Indemnified Liabilities incurred by the Indemnified Parties.

(c) Borrower covenants and agrees to pay for or, if Borrower fails to pay, to reimburse Lender for, any fees and expenses incurred by any Rating Agency in connection with any Rating Agency review of the Loan, the Loan Documents or any transaction contemplated thereby or any consent, approval, waiver or confirmation obtained from such Rating Agency pursuant to the terms and conditions of this Agreement or any other Loan Document and Lender shall be entitled to require payment of such fees and expenses as a condition precedent to the obtaining of any such consent, approval, waiver or confirmation.

(d) Borrower shall jointly and severally indemnify the Lender and each of its respective officers, directors, partners, employees, representatives, agents and Affiliates against any liabilities to which Lender, each of its respective officers, directors, partners, employees, representatives, agents and Affiliates, may become subject in connection with any indemnification to the Rating Agencies in connection with issuing, monitoring or maintaining the Securities insofar as the liabilities arise out of or are based upon any untrue statement of any material fact in any information provided by or on behalf of the Borrowers to the Rating Agencies (the “Covered Rating Agency Information”) or arise out of or are based upon the omission to state a material fact in the Covered Rating Agency Information required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements in the Covered Rating Agency Information, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading.

Section 10.14 Incorporated. The Schedules annexed hereto are hereby incorporated herein as a part of this Agreement with the same effect as if set forth in the body hereof.

Section 10.15 Offsets, Counterclaims and Defenses. Any assignee of Lender’s interest in and to this Agreement, the Note and the other Loan Documents shall take the same free and clear of all offsets, counterclaims or defenses which are unrelated to such documents which Borrower may otherwise have against any assignor of such documents, and no such unrelated counterclaim or defense shall be interposed or asserted by Borrower in any action or proceeding brought by any such assignee upon such documents and any such right to interpose or assert any such unrelated offset, counterclaim or defense in any such action or proceeding is hereby expressly waived by Borrower.

Section 10.16 No Joint Venture or Partnership; No Third Party Beneficiaries. (a) Borrower and Lender intend that the relationships created hereunder and under the other Loan Documents be solely that of borrower and lender. Nothing herein or therein is intended to create a joint venture, partnership, tenancy-in-common, or joint tenancy relationship between Borrower and Lender nor to grant Lender any interest in the Properties other than that of mortgagee, beneficiary or lender.

(b) This Agreement and the other Loan Documents are solely for the benefit of Lender and Borrower and nothing contained in this Agreement or the other Loan Documents shall be deemed to confer upon anyone other than Lender and 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 Lender to make the Loan hereunder are imposed solely and exclusively for the benefit of 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 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 Lender if, in Lender’s sole discretion, Lender deems it advisable or desirable to do so.

Section 10.17 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 Documents or the financing evidenced by the Loan Documents, to Lender or its Affiliates shall be subject to the prior written approval of Lender in its sole discretion.

Section 10.18 Cross Default; Cross Collateralization; Waiver of Marshalling of Assets. (a) Borrower acknowledges that Lender has made the Loan to Borrower upon the security of Borrower’s collective interest in the Properties and in reliance upon the aggregate of the Properties taken together being of greater value as collateral security than the sum of each Individual Property taken separately. Borrower agrees that the Mortgages are and will be cross collateralized and cross defaulted with each other so that (i) an Event of Default under any of the Mortgages shall constitute an Event of Default under each of the other Mortgages which secure the Note; (ii) an Event of Default under the Note or this Agreement shall constitute an Event of Default under each Mortgage; (iii) each Mortgage shall constitute security for the Note as if a single blanket lien were placed on all of the Properties as security for the Note; and (iv) such cross collateralization shall in no event be deemed to constitute a fraudulent conveyance.

 

-163-


(b) To the fullest extent permitted by law, Borrower, for itself and its successors and assigns, waives all rights to a marshalling of the assets of Borrower, Borrower’s partners and others with interests in Borrower, and of the Properties, or to a sale in inverse order of alienation in the event of foreclosure of all or any of the Mortgages, 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 Properties 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 Properties in preference to every other claimant whatsoever. In addition, each of Borrower, for itself and its successors and assigns, waives in the event of foreclosure of any or all of the Mortgages, any equitable right otherwise available to Borrower which would require the separate sale of the Properties or require Lender to exhaust its remedies against any Individual Property or any combination of the Properties before proceeding against any other Individual Property or combination of Properties; and further in the event of such foreclosure each of Borrower does hereby expressly consents to and authorizes, at the option of Lender, the foreclosure and sale either separately or together of any combination of the Properties.

Section 10.19 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.

Section 10.20 Conflict; Construction of Documents; Reliance. In the event of any conflict between the provisions of this Agreement and any of the other Loan Documents, the provisions of this Agreement shall control. The parties hereto acknowledge that they were represented by competent counsel in connection with the negotiation, drafting and execution of the Loan Documents and that such Loan Documents shall not be subject to the principle of construing their meaning against the party which drafted same. Borrower acknowledges 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 10.21 Brokers and Financial Advisors. Borrower hereby represents that it has dealt with no financial advisors, brokers, underwriters, placement agents, agents or finders in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

-164-


costs and expenses of any kind (including Lender’s attorneys’ fees and expenses) in any way relating to or arising from a claim by any Person that such Person acted on behalf of Borrower or Lender in connection with the transactions contemplated herein.

Section 10.22 Prior Agreements. 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.
