(e)           In the event of a casualty to the buildings or improvements constructed on any portion of the Premises or a condemnation or taking under a power of eminent domain of all or any portion of the Premises, the buildings or improvements thereon, Senior Lender shall have a first and prior interest in and to any payments, awards, proceeds, distributions, or consideration arising from any such event after deducting the costs of collection (the “Award”), provided that if the amount of the Award is in excess of the Adjusted Release Amount (as defined in the Senior Loan Agreement) due the Senior Lender under the Senior Loan Documents, such excess Award or portion to be so remitted shall be applied, to the extent permitted under the Senior Loan Documents, as follows: (i) first, to the First Mezzanine Lender in the amount of the First Mezzanine Adjusted Release Amount (as defined in the Senior Loan Agreement) due the First Mezzanine Lender under the First Mezzanine Loan Documents, (ii) second, to the Second Mezzanine Lender in the amount of the Second Mezzanine Adjusted Release Amount (as defined in the Senior Loan Agreement) due the Second Mezzanine Lender under the Second Mezzanine Loan Documents, (iii) third, to the Third Mezzanine Lender in the amount of the Third Mezzanine Adjusted Release Amount (as defined in the Senior Loan Agreement) due the Third Mezzanine Lender under the Third Mezzanine Loan Documents, (iv) fourth, to the Fourth Mezzanine Lender in the amount of the Fourth Mezzanine Adjusted Release Amount (as defined in the Senior Loan Agreement) due the Fourth Mezzanine Lender under the Fourth Mezzanine Loan Documents, (v) fifth, to the Fifth Mezzanine Lender in the amount of the Fifth Mezzanine Adjusted Release Amount (as defined in the Senior Loan Agreement) due the Fifth Mezzanine Lender under the Fifth Mezzanine Loan Documents, (vi) sixth, to the Sixth Mezzanine Lender in the amount of the Sixth Mezzanine Adjusted Release Amount (as defined in the Senior Loan Agreement) due the Sixth Mezzanine Lender under the Sixth Mezzanine Loan Documents, (vii) seventh, to the Seventh Mezzanine Lender in the amount of the Seventh Mezzanine Adjusted Release Amount (as defined in the Senior Loan Agreement) due the Seventh Mezzanine Lender under the Seventh Mezzanine Loan Documents, and (viii) eighth, to Senior Borrower. In the event of any competing claims, Senior Lender shall continue to hold such excess Award until Senior Lender receives an agreement signed by all

 

44



 

parties making a claim to the excess Award or a final order of a court of competent jurisdiction directing Senior Lender as to how the excess Award is to be distributed. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event of a casualty or condemnation, Senior Lender shall release the Awards in any such event to Senior Borrower if and to the extent required by the terms and conditions of the Senior Loan Documents in order to repair and restore the Premises or any portion thereof in accordance with the terms and provisions of the Senior Loan Documents. Awards made available to Senior Borrower for the repair or restoration of the Premises or any portion thereof shall not be subject to attachment by any Junior Lender, but this sentence is not intended to otherwise affect any lien, if any, that a Junior Lender may have upon such proceeds. Senior Lender shall use reasonable efforts to promptly (x) notify each Junior Lender of any requests by Senior Borrower for the release of any Award and (y) provide each Junior Lender with any documentation delivered by Senior Borrower to Senior Lender with respect to any such request by Senior Borrower for the release of any Award.

 

(f)            With respect to any insurance policies (collectively, the “Policies”) for the Premises for which a Junior Lender and/or its Affiliate are identified as “named insureds” or “additional insureds”, until such time as the Senior Loan has been paid in full, each Junior Lender acknowledges and agrees that no Junior Lender nor any of its Affiliates shall have any right whatsoever to (i) contest or challenge (in their capacity as named insureds) any such settlement or adjustment approved by Senior Lender, (ii) disapprove any settlement or adjustment of any claim or any distribution of proceeds under the Policies approved by Senior Lender, or (iii) be issued checks, drafts or wires (jointly or otherwise) representing proceeds of the Policies. Nothing contained in this subparagraph (f) is meant to limit any rights that a Junior Lender has under its respective Junior Loan Documents to approve of any action taken by the applicable Junior Borrower. Senior Lender shall, at a Junior Lender’s request, advise such Junior Lender from time to time as to the status of any settlement or adjustment of any claim or any distribution of proceeds under the Policies.

 

Section 11.  Rights of Subrogation; Bankruptcy.

 

(a)  Marshalling of Assets and Information.  Each Junior Lender and Senior Lender hereby waives any requirement for marshaling of assets hereby or the right to assert that an election of remedies has occurred in connection with any foreclosure of any security interest or any other realization upon collateral in respect of the Senior Loan Documents or the Junior Loan Documents, as applicable, or any exercise of any rights of set-off or otherwise. Each of the Junior Lenders and Senior Lender assumes all responsibility for keeping itself informed as to the condition (financial or otherwise) of Senior Borrower, each Junior Borrower, the condition of the Premises and all other collateral and other circumstances and, except for notices expressly required by this Agreement, neither Senior Lender nor any Junior Lender shall have any duty whatsoever to obtain, advise or deliver information or documents to the others relative to such condition, business, assets and/or operations.

 

(b)  Fiduciary Duties.  Each Junior Lender agrees that Senior Lender owes no fiduciary duty to any Junior Lender in connection with the administration of the Senior Loan and the Senior Loan Documents and each Junior Lender agrees not to assert any such claim. Senior Lender agrees that none of the Junior Lenders owes any fiduciary duty to Senior Lender in connection with the administration of the Junior Loans and the Junior Loan Documents and Senior Lender agrees not to assert any such claim. Each Junior Lender agrees that no Junior Lender owes any fiduciary duty to any other Junior Lenders in connection with the administration of a Junior Loan and the related Junior Loan Documents and each Junior Lender agrees not to assert any such claim.

 

(c)  Payments, Distributions and Protective Advances.  No payment or distribution to Senior Lender pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement and no Protective Advance by a Junior Lender and no other action taken by a Junior Lender to cure any default under the Senior Loan Documents shall entitle such Junior Lender to exercise any right of subrogation in respect thereof or provide such Junior Lender with any claim against Senior Borrower, in each case, prior to the payment in full of the

 

45



 

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

 

(d)  Bankruptcy.  (i) Subject to Section 31 of this Agreement, the provisions of this Agreement shall be applicable both before and after the commencement, whether voluntary or involuntary, of any case, proceeding or other action by or against Senior Borrower, any Junior Borrower or any SPE Constituent Entity under any existing or future law of any jurisdiction relating to bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or relief of debtors or any assignment by Borrower for the benefit of creditors (a “Proceeding”).

 

(i)            For as long as the Senior Loan shall remain outstanding, none of the Junior Lenders shall solicit, direct or cause Borrower or any other entity which Controls Senior Borrower (the “Borrower Group”) or any other Person to: (1) commence any Proceeding against Senior Borrower or any SPE Constituent Entity; (2) institute proceedings to have Senior Borrower or any SPE Constituent Entity adjudicated a bankrupt or insolvent; (3) consent to, or acquiesce in, the institution of bankruptcy or insolvency proceedings against Senior Borrower or any SPE Constituent Entity; (4) file a petition or consent to the filing of a petition seeking reorganization, arrangement, adjustment, winding-up, dissolution, composition, liquidation or other relief by or on behalf of Senior Borrower or any SPE Constituent Entity; (5) seek or consent to the appointment of a receiver, liquidator, assignee, trustee, sequestrator, custodian or any similar official for Senior Borrower or any SPE Constituent Entity or a substantial portion of any of its respective property, including without limitation, the Premises, or any portion thereof, and any other collateral securing the Senior Loan, or any portion thereof; (6) make an assignment for the benefit of any creditor of Senior Borrower or any SPE Constituent Entity; (7) seek to consolidate the Premises or any other assets of Senior Borrower or any SPE Constituent Entity with the assets of any Junior Borrower or any member of the Borrower Group in any proceeding relating to bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or relief of debtors; (8) seek to consolidate Senior Borrower with any Junior Borrower or any member of Borrower Group; or (9) take any action in furtherance of any of the foregoing. The terms and provisions of this Section 11(d) apply to each Junior Lender solely in its respective capacity as a Junior Lender. If any Junior Lender commences an Equity Collateral Enforcement Action against any Junior Borrower, and pursuant to such Equity Collateral Enforcement Action, such Junior Lender takes title to the Equity Collateral of such Junior Borrower, from and after the date title to such Equity Collateral is vested in such Junior Lender (as applicable), such Junior Lender shall be bound by the terms and provisions of the respective organizational documents of such Junior Borrower regarding bankruptcy and all matters requiring

 

46



 

the vote of the independent directors/managers/members of such Junior Borrower. Subject to the limitations set forth herein, each Junior Lender will have the right to appear in such Proceeding to protect its interest in the relevant Equity Collateral, in the Junior Lender’s capacity as pledgee of the Equity Collateral.

 

(ii)           In the event that a Junior Lender is deemed to be a creditor of Senior Borrower in any Proceeding: (1) each of the Junior Lenders hereby agrees that it shall not make any election, give any consent, commence any action or file any motion, claim, obligation, notice or application or take any other action in any Proceeding by or against Senior Borrower or any SPE Constituent Entity without the prior consent of Senior Lender, except to the extent necessary to preserve or realize upon such Junior Lender’s interest in any Separate Collateral pledged to such Junior Lender pursuant to the Junior Loan Documents related to the Junior Loan held by such Junior Lender; provided, however, that any such filing shall not be as a creditor of the Senior Borrower; (2) Senior Lender may vote in any such Proceeding any and all claims of such Junior Lender, and each of the Junior Lenders hereby appoints the Senior Lender as its agent, and grants to the Senior Lender an irrevocable power of attorney coupled with an interest, and its proxy, for the purpose of exercising any and all rights and taking any and all actions available to such Junior Lender in connection with any case by or against Senior Borrower or any SPE Constituent Entity in any Proceeding, including without limitation, the right to file and/or prosecute any claims, to vote to accept or reject a plan, to make any election under Section 1111(b) of the Bankruptcy Code, provided, however, that with respect to any proposed plan of reorganization in respect of which creditors are voting, Senior Lender may vote on behalf of such Junior Lender only if the proposed plan would result in Senior Lender being “impaired” (as such term is defined in the United States Bankruptcy Code); and (3) no Junior Lender shall challenge the validity or amount of any claim submitted in such Proceeding by Senior Lender in good faith or any valuations of the Premises, or any portion thereof, or other Senior Loan collateral submitted by Senior Lender in good faith, in such Proceeding or take any other action in such Proceeding, which is adverse to Senior Lender’s enforcement of its claim or receipt of adequate protection (as that term is defined in the Bankruptcy Code); provided, however that no such valuations submitted in such Proceeding by Senior Lender shall be binding upon any Junior Lender in any Proceeding concerning any other Person, including, without limitation, any Junior Borrower, any member of the Junior Borrower Group, or any Affiliate thereof. Prior to Securitization of the Senior Loan (or after a Securitization of the Senior Loan if Senior Lender owns all of the Certificates), Senior Lender shall not have the rights provided in this Section 11(d)(iii) if Senior Lender is an Affiliate of Senior Borrower.

 

(iii)          For as long as any applicable Senior Junior Loan with respect to a Junior Lender shall remain outstanding, such Junior Lender shall not, and shall not solicit any Person to, and shall not direct or cause the Junior Borrower under the Junior Loan held by such Junior Lender to direct or cause such Junior Borrower or any entity which Controls such Junior Borrower (as applicable, the “Junior Borrower Group”) to: (1) commence any Proceeding against any applicable Senior Junior Borrower; (2) institute proceedings to have any applicable Senior Junior Borrower adjudicated a bankrupt or insolvent; (3) consent to, or acquiesce in, the institution of bankruptcy or insolvency proceedings against any applicable Senior Junior Borrower; (4) file a petition or consent to the filing of a petition seeking reorganization, arrangement, adjustment, winding-up, dissolution, composition, liquidation or other relief by or on behalf of any applicable Senior Junior Borrower; (5) seek or consent to the appointment of a receiver, liquidator, assignee, trustee, sequestrator, custodian or any similar official for any applicable Senior Junior Borrower, Separate Collateral for any applicable Senior Junior Loan (or any portion thereof) or any other collateral securing any applicable Senior Junior Loan (or any portion thereof); (6) make an assignment for the benefit of any creditor of any applicable Senior Junior Borrower; (7) seek to consolidate the Separate Collateral for any applicable Senior Junior Loan (or any portion thereof) or any other

 

47



 

assets of any applicable Senior Junior Borrower with the assets of the Junior Borrower under the Junior Loan held by such Junior Lender or any member of the applicable Junior Borrower Group in any proceeding relating to bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or relief of debtors; (8) seek to consolidate any applicable Senior Junior Borrower with any Subordinate Junior Borrower or any member of Junior Borrower Group for a Subordinate Junior Borrower; or (9) take any action in furtherance of any of the foregoing.

 

(iv)          In the event that a Junior Lender is deemed to be a creditor of any applicable Senior Junior Borrower in any Proceeding: (1) such Junior Lender hereby agrees that it shall not make any election, give any consent, commence any action or file any motion, claim, obligation, notice or application or take any other action in any Proceeding by or against any applicable Senior Junior Borrower without the prior consent of the applicable Senior Junior Lenders, except to the extent necessary to preserve or realize upon its interest in the Equity Collateral; provided, however, that any such filing shall not be as a creditor of any applicable Junior Borrower; (2) the applicable Senior Junior Lenders in their respective order of priority may vote in any such Proceeding any and all claims of such Junior Lender, and such Junior Lender hereby appoints the applicable Senior Junior Lenders in their respective order of priority as its agent, and grants to the applicable Senior Junior Lenders in their respective order of priority an irrevocable power of attorney coupled with an interest, and its proxy, for the purpose of exercising any and all rights and taking any and all actions available to the applicable Senior Junior Lenders in connection with any case by or against the applicable Senior Junior Borrowers in any Proceeding, including without limitation, the right to file and/or prosecute any claims, to vote to accept or reject a plan, to make any election under Section 1111(b) of the Bankruptcy Code, provided, however, that with respect to any proposed plan of reorganization in respect of which creditors are voting, the applicable Senior Junior Lenders in their respective order of priority may vote on behalf of such Junior Lender only if the proposed plan would result in such applicable Senior Junior Lender being “impaired” (as such term is defined in the United States Bankruptcy Code); and (3) such Junior Lender shall not challenge the validity or amount of any claim submitted in such Proceeding by any applicable Senior Junior Lender in good faith or any valuations of the Separate Collateral for such Senior Junior Lender’s Senior Junior Loan or other collateral for such applicable Senior Junior Loan submitted by such applicable Senior Junior Lender in good faith, in such Proceeding or take any other action in such Proceeding, which is adverse to enforcement by any applicable Senior Junior Lender of its claim or receipt of adequate protection (as that term is defined in the Bankruptcy Code); provided, however that no such valuations submitted in such Proceeding by Senior Junior Lender shall be binding upon any Junior Lender in any Proceeding concerning any other Person, including, without limitation, any Junior Borrower, any member of the Junior Borrower Group, or any Affiliate thereof. No Senior Junior Lender shall have the rights provided in this Section 11(d)(v) if such Senior Junior Lender is an Affiliate of Borrower.

 

(v)           The terms and provisions of this Section 11(d) apply to each Junior Lender solely in its capacity as a Junior Lender.

 

Section 12.  Rights of Cure.

 

(a)  Senior Loan Default.  Prior to Senior Lender commencing any Enforcement Action under the Senior Loan Documents, Senior Lender shall provide written notice of such default to each Junior Lender and any Loan Pledgee entitled to notice thereof pursuant to Section 16 of this Agreement, whether or not Senior Lender is obligated to give notice thereof to Senior Borrower (each, a “Senior Loan Default Notice”). In the event Senior Lender has delivered a Senior Loan Default Notice pursuant to Sections 12(a)(i) or (ii) below which has not been cured by a Junior Lender, Senior Lender shall provide the Junior Lenders with copies of any and all material notices relating to such Event of Default, pleadings, agreements, motions and briefs served upon, delivered to or with any party to any Enforcement Action and otherwise keep the Junior Lenders reasonably apprised as to the current

 

48



 

status of any Enforcement Action. Prior to or concurrently with undertaking any curative action with respect to the Senior Loan, a Junior Lender shall provide the other Junior Lenders with written notice thereof. Senior Lender shall permit the Junior Lenders an opportunity to cure such default in accordance with the following terms:

 

(i)            Monetary Default.  If the default identified in the Senior Loan Default Notice is a monetary default relating to (1) any scheduled payment of principal or interest, or (2) the payment of any other liquidated sum of money, Junior Lenders shall have until ten (10) Business Days after the later of (a) the receipt (or deemed receipt) of the Senior Loan Default Notice or (b) expiration of the Senior Borrower’s cure period, if any, to cure such monetary default (a “Monetary Cure Period”); provided, however, that in the event a Junior Lender elects to cure such monetary default, such Junior Lender hereby agrees (x) to indemnify, defend and hold harmless Senior Lender for all cost, expenses, losses, liabilities, obligations, damages, penalties, and disbursements arising under any pooling and servicing agreement applicable to the Senior Loan to the extent imposed on, incurred by or asserted against Senior Lender due to or arising from such Monetary Cure Period, (y) without duplication of the foregoing, to reimburse Senior Lender for any interest charged by Senior Lender or the servicer on any advances for monthly payments of principal and/or interest on the Senior Loan and/or on any Protective Advances during the Monetary Cure Period arising under the applicable pooling and servicing agreement, and (z) if the monetary default is not cured within the Monetary Cure Period but is thereafter cured by a Junior Lender, to pay Senior Lender the excess of interest accruing at the Default Rate (without duplication) over interest accruing at the Interest Rate under the Senior Loan for the number of days beyond the expiration of such Monetary Cure Period that the default to which such Monetary Cure Period related continued uncured, less any amounts paid by such Junior Lender under (y) above. A Junior Lender shall not be required, in order to effect a cure hereunder during the Monetary Cure Period, to pay any late charges or (other than the cure by a Junior Lender of a default in the payment of the Senior Loan in full on the maturity date thereof) any interest at the Default Rate under the Senior Loan Documents (irrespective of any cure of such default by a Junior Lender pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement), and no late charges or interest at the Default Rate shall accrue against such Junior Lender for such period. There shall be no right to cure as hereinabove set forth with respect to monthly scheduled interest and principal payments for a period of more than six (6) consecutive months (regardless of which Junior Lender has cured such monetary default) unless such Junior Lender seeking to cure beyond such six (6) month period has commenced and is continuing to diligently pursue its rights against such Junior Lender’s Equity Collateral, in which case such Junior Lender shall be entitled to continue curing such monetary defaults involving monthly scheduled interest and principal payments until the occurrence of any voluntary or involuntary Proceeding involving Senior Borrower (such additional monetary cure period, an “Extended Monetary Cure Period”). In the event more than one Junior Lender cures any monetary default in accordance with the terms of this Section, Senior Lender hereby agrees (x) to accept the cure from the junior most Junior Lender and (y) to return to any Senior Junior Lender(s) within three (3) Business Days of accepting such cure from the junior most Junior Lender any funds tendered by the Senior Junior Lender(s). The cure period for a Junior Lender with respect to a monetary default shall run concurrently with the cure period for the other Junior Lenders with respect to such monetary default and in no event sequentially. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if one Junior Lender has satisfied the conditions for an Extended Monetary Cure Period with respect to defaults involving monthly scheduled interest and principal payments as set forth above and thereafter ceases to qualify for such Extended Monetary Cure Period (either by failing to make cure payments or failing to diligently pursue its rights against its Equity Collateral) then (A) such Junior Lender’s cure rights with respect to all monetary defaults shall immediately terminate (unless Borrower shall have cured all defaults and reinstated the Senior Loan in good standing) and (B) notwithstanding any of the other Junior Lender’s earlier

 

49



 

election not to cure the defaults involving monthly scheduled interest and principal payments, such other Junior Lenders shall be entitled to succeed to all rights under the existing Extended Monetary Cure Period, upon written notice to the Senior Lender, so long as such other Junior Lender promptly commences and thereafter diligently pursues its rights against its Equity Collateral, makes all cure payments and otherwise satisfies the provisions of this Section 12. If the default referenced in a Senior Loan Default Notice has been cured such that there is no longer an Event of Default under the Senior Loan Documents, the Junior Lenders shall have the same Monetary Cure Period with respect to any future Senior Loan Default Notice.

 

(ii)           Non-Monetary Default.  If the default is of a non-monetary nature (for so long as such non-monetary default is not caused by a Proceeding of Senior Borrower or during such Non-Monetary Cure Period (as defined herein) a Proceeding of Senior Borrower does not occur), each Junior Lender shall have until the later of (a) ten (10) Business Days from the receipt (or deemed receipt) of the Senior Loan Default Notice and (b) the expiration of the Senior Borrower’s cure period to cure such non-monetary default (a “Non-Monetary Cure Period”); provided, however, if such non-monetary default cannot reasonably be cured within such period or if no cure period is provided and, if applicable, curative action was commenced by such Junior Lender within the Non-Monetary Cure Period and, if there is a cure period, is being diligently pursued by a Junior Lender (or with respect to a non-monetary default that is not susceptible of cure, if a Junior Lender shall be diligently pursuing the foreclosure of its Equity Collateral and such non-monetary default does not materially impair the value, use or operation of the Premises, all as determined in the reasonable judgment of Senior Lender), then such Junior Lender only shall be given an additional period of time as is reasonably necessary for such Junior Lender in the exercise of due diligence to cure such non-monetary default (or, in the case of any such non-monetary default as described above that is not susceptible of cure, then such Junior Lender shall be given an additional period of time as is reasonably necessary for such Junior Lender in the exercise of due diligence to complete such foreclosure), for so long as (1) such Junior Lender diligently and expeditiously proceeds to cure such non-monetary default (or with respect to a non-monetary default that is not susceptible of cure, if such Junior Lender shall be diligently pursuing the foreclosure of its Equity Collateral and such non-monetary default does not materially impair the value, use or operation of the Premises, all as determined in the reasonable judgment of Senior Lender), (2) timely payment of Senior Lender’s regularly scheduled monthly interest and amortization payments under the Senior Loan and any other amounts due under the Senior Loan Documents is made, (3) such additional period of time does not exceed sixty (60) days, unless such non-monetary default is of a nature that cannot be cured within such sixty (60) days without ownership of such Junior Lender’s Equity Collateral or is not susceptible to cure, in which case such Junior Lender shall have such additional time as is reasonably necessary to gain ownership of its Equity Collateral, provided that such Junior Lender is continuously and diligently pursuing the ownership of its Equity Collateral and such non-monetary default does not materially impair the value, use or operation of the Premises, all as determined in the reasonable judgment of Senior Lender, (4) such non-monetary default is not caused by a Proceeding of Senior Borrower or during such Non-Monetary Cure Period a Proceeding of Senior Borrower does not occur, and (5) during such Non-Monetary Cure Period, with respect to such non-monetary default (and any additional period of time provided for above), there is no further material adverse effect on Senior Borrower, the Senior Loan or the value, use or operation of the Premises taken as a whole, all as determined in the reasonable judgment of Senior Lender (such additional Non-Monetary Cure Period, an “Extended Non-Monetary Cure Period”). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, in no event shall any Extended Non-Monetary Cure Period extend beyond the date that is five (5) years prior to the Rated Final Distribution Date. If a Junior Lender is exercising its cure right, it shall consult with the applicable Senior Junior Lenders and keep such Senior Junior Lenders informed as to its progress. The Non-Monetary Cure Period and any additional cure

 

50



 

period granted hereunder to a Junior Lender electing to cure a non-monetary default of Senior Borrower (including, with respect to a non-monetary default that is not susceptible of cure, any additional time as is reasonably necessary for a Junior Lender to foreclose on its Equity Collateral) shall automatically terminate upon the commencement of a Proceeding involving the Senior Borrower, unless the Proceeding is dismissed in which case the right will be deemed reinstated from and after such dismissal to the extent the other conditions of this Section 12(a) are satisfied. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if a Junior Lender abandons its cure efforts during a Non-Monetary Cure Period or Extended Non-Monetary Cure Period or fails to satisfy any of the conditions set forth in clauses (1), (2), (3), (4) and (5) above during a Non-Monetary Cure Period, then (A) such Junior Lender’s cure rights with respect to the applicable non-monetary default (but not any other non-monetary default) shall immediately terminate and (B) notwithstanding any other Junior Lenders’ earlier election not to cure the applicable non-monetary default, such other Junior Lenders shall be entitled to succeed to all rights under the existing Non-Monetary Cure Period, upon written notice to the Senior Lender, so long as any such other Junior Lender promptly commences and thereafter diligently pursues its rights against its Separate Collateral and the conditions set forth in clauses (1), (2), (3), (4) and (5) above are satisfied.

 

(iii)          To the extent that any Junior Lender or any Qualified Transferee, in accordance with the provisions and conditions of this Agreement, acquires the ownership interests in Senior Borrower or any Senior Junior Borrower, as applicable, pursuant to a Separate Collateral Enforcement Action, such Junior Lender or such Qualified Transferee shall acquire the same subject to the Senior Loan and the terms, conditions and provisions of the Senior Loan Documents for the balance of the term thereof (including any extension rights as provided therein), which shall not be accelerated by Senior Lender solely due to such acquisition and shall remain in full force and effect, provided, that (i) such Junior Lender or Qualified Transferee shall have caused Senior Borrower and any new Third-Party Obligor to reaffirm their respective obligations under the Senior Loan Documents in writing (subject to such exculpatory provisions as are set forth therein), and thereafter to perform, all of the terms, conditions and provisions of the Senior Loan Documents on Senior Borrower’s part to be performed and (ii) all defaults under the Senior Loan which remain uncured as of the date of such acquisition have been cured by such Qualified Transferee or waived by Senior Lender except for defaults that are not susceptible of being cured by such Qualified Transferee; provided, that such defaults which are not susceptible of being cured do not materially impair the value, use or operation of the Premises taken as a whole, all as determined in the reasonable judgment of Senior Lender. Notwithstanding any contrary or inconsistent provision of this Agreement, the Senior Loan Documents or the Junior Loan Documents, no acquisition or other fee or similar charge shall be due in connection with such Junior Lender’s or such other Qualified Transferee’s acquisition of any interest in Senior Borrower, any Junior Borrower or the Premises as the result of an Equity Collateral Enforcement Action or assignment in lieu of foreclosure or other negotiated settlement in lieu of any of the foregoing. In addition, to the extent that a Junior Lender or any Qualified Transferee, in accordance with the provisions and conditions of this Agreement, acquires the ownership interests in such Senior Borrower, pursuant to an Enforcement Action or otherwise during the sixty (60) days prior to the maturity date (or any extended maturity date, as applicable) of the Senior Loan, such Junior Lender, or such Qualified Transferee shall only be required to deliver a notice of extension of the term of such Senior Loan five (5) Business Days prior to the maturity date notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Senior Loan Agreement.

 

51



 

(b)  Junior Loan Default.  Prior to accelerating a Junior Loan or commencing any Equity Collateral Enforcement Action by reason of an Event of Default under the applicable Junior Loan Documents, the Junior Lender holding the Junior Loan that is subject to an Event of Default shall provide written notice of the default which would permit such Junior Lender to accelerate the applicable Junior Loan or commence an Equity Collateral Enforcement Action to the applicable Subordinate Junior Lenders and any Loan Pledgees entitled to notice thereof pursuant to Section 16 of this Agreement, whether or not such Junior Lender is obligated to give notice thereof to the Junior Borrower under such Junior Loan (each, a “Junior Loan Default Notice”). Except in connection with such Junior Borrower’s failure to repay such Junior Loan in full on the maturity date thereof, the Junior Lender holding the Junior Loan that is subject to an Event of Default shall permit the applicable Subordinate Junior Lenders an opportunity to cure such default in accordance with the provisions of this Section 12. In the event a Junior Borrower fails to repay a Junior Loan in full on the maturity date thereof, each of the Subordinate Junior Lenders with respect to such Junior Loan shall have the right to purchase such Junior Loan pursuant to the terms, and subject to the conditions, provided in Section 14(b). Prior to or concurrently with undertaking any curative action with respect to a Junior Loan, a Junior Lender shall provide the other Junior Lenders with written notice thereof. Each Junior Lender shall keep the applicable Subordinate Junior Lenders reasonably apprised as to the status of any Equity Collateral Enforcement Action.

 

(i)            Junior Loan Monetary Default.  If the default identified in the Junior Loan Default Notice is a monetary default relating to (1) any scheduled payment of principal or interest or (2) the payment of any other liquidated sum of money, the Subordinate Junior Lenders shall have until ten (10) Business Days after the later of (a) the receipt (or deemed receipt) by the applicable Subordinate Junior Lenders of the Junior Loan Default or (b) expiration of the applicable Senior Junior Borrower’s Notice to cure such monetary default (each such cure period, a “Junior Loan Monetary Cure Period”); provided, however, that in the event a Subordinate Junior Lender elects to cure such monetary default, such Subordinate Junior Lender hereby agrees (x) to indemnify, defend and hold harmless the applicable Senior Junior Lender for all cost, expenses, losses, liabilities, obligations, damages, penalties, and disbursements arising under any servicing agreement applicable to the Senior Junior Loan to the extent imposed on, incurred by or asserted against Senior Junior Lender due to or arising from such Junior Loan Monetary Cure Period, (y) without duplication, to reimburse the applicable Senior Junior Lender for any interest charged by the applicable Senior Junior Lender or the servicer on any advances for monthly payments of principal and/or interest on the applicable Senior Junior Loan and/or on any Protective Advances during the Junior Loan Monetary Cure Period, and (z) if the monetary default is not cured within the Junior Loan Monetary Cure Period but is thereafter cured by a Subordinate Junior Lender, to pay the applicable Senior Junior Lender the excess of interest accruing at the Default Rate (without duplication) over interest accruing at the Interest Rate under the applicable Senior Junior Loan for the number of days beyond the expiration of such Junior Loan Monetary Cure Period that the default to which such Junior Loan Monetary Cure Period related continued uncured, less any amounts paid by such Subordinate Junior Lender under (y) above. A Subordinate Junior Lender shall not be required, in order to effect a cure hereunder during the Junior Loan Monetary Cure Period, to pay any late charges or (other than the cure by a Subordinate Junior Lender of a default in the payment of the applicable Senior Junior Loan in full on the maturity date thereof) any interest at the Default Rate under the applicable Senior Junior Loan Documents (irrespective of any cure of such default by a Subordinate Junior Lender pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement), and no late charges or interest at the Default Rate shall accrue against such Subordinate Junior Lender for such period. There shall be no right to cure as hereinabove set forth with respect to monthly scheduled interest and principal payments for a period of more than six (6) consecutive months (regardless of which Subordinate Junior Lender has cured such monetary default) unless such Subordinate Junior Lender seeking to cure beyond such six

 

52



 

(6) month period has commenced and is continuing to diligently pursue its rights against such Subordinate Junior Lender’s Equity Collateral, in which case such Subordinate Junior Lender shall be entitled to continue curing such monetary defaults involving monthly scheduled interest and principal payments until the occurrence of any voluntary or involuntary Proceeding involving the applicable Junior Borrower (such additional monetary cure period, a “Junior Loan Extended Monetary Cure Period”). In the event more than one Subordinate Junior Lender cures any monetary default in accordance with the terms of this Section, the applicable Senior Junior Lender hereby agrees (x) to accept the cure from the junior most Subordinate Junior Lender and (y) to return to any Senior Subordinate Junior Lender(s) within three (3) Business Days of accepting such cure from the junior most Subordinate Junior Lender any funds tendered by the Senior Subordinate Junior Lender(s). The cure period for a Subordinate Junior Lender with respect to a monetary default shall run concurrently with the cure period for the other Subordinate Junior Lenders with respect to such monetary default and in no event sequentially. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if a Subordinate Junior Lender elects to pursue such cure of defaults involving monthly scheduled debt service payments as set forth above and thereafter either fails to make the required cure payments or fails to diligently pursue its rights against such Subordinate Junior Lender’s Equity Collateral, then notwithstanding the earlier election of the remaining Subordinate Junior Lenders not to cure the defaults involving monthly scheduled debt service payments, such other Subordinate Junior Lenders shall be entitled to succeed to all such cure rights, upon written notice to the Senior Junior Lender that is the holder of the Senior Junior Loan that is subject to the Event of Default, so long as such remaining Subordinate Junior Lender promptly commences and thereafter diligently pursues its rights against its Equity Collateral and otherwise satisfies the provisions of this Section 12(b)(i). If the default referenced in a Junior Loan Default Notice has been cured such that there is no longer an Event of Default under the applicable Junior Loan Documents, the applicable Subordinate Junior Lenders shall have the same Junior Loan Monetary Cure Period with respect to any future Junior Loan Default Notice. In the event that the Senior Loan and one or more Senior Junior Loans are concurrently in default, a Subordinate Junior Lender shall have no right to exercise its cure rights with respect to the Senior Loan under Section 12(a)(i) or (ii) or the Senior Junior Loan(s) under this Section 12(b)(i) or Section 12(b)(ii) below unless such Subordinate Junior Lender is simultaneously exercising its cure rights with respect to the Senior Loan under Sections 12(a)(i) and/or (ii) (to the extent that such Subordinate Junior Lender is permitted to exercise such cure rights under Sections 12(a)(i) and/or (ii)) and with respect to each such Senior Junior Loan(s) under this Section 12(b)(i) above or Section 12(b)(ii) below (to the extent that such Subordinate Junior Lender is permitted to exercise such cure rights under Sections 12(b)(i) and/or (ii)).

 

(ii)           Junior Loan Non-Monetary Default.  If the default identified in the Junior Loan Default Notice is of a non-monetary nature, (aa) the applicable Subordinate Junior Lender having the lowest priority shall have fifteen (15) Business Days from the later of (A) the receipt by it of a Junior Loan Default Notice and (B) the expiration of the applicable Senior Junior Borrower’s cure period for such non-monetary default provided in the applicable Senior Junior Loan Documents, to cure such non-monetary default (such period, the “Initial Junior Loan Non-Monetary Cure Period”); and (bb) if the applicable Subordinate Junior Lender having the lowest priority elects not to cure such non-monetary default prior to the expiration of the Initial Junior Loan Non-Monetary Cure Period, the other remaining Subordinate Junior Lenders shall have the right to cure such non-monetary default within five (5) additional Business Days after such Subordinate Junior Lender receives notice that the next most junior Subordinate Junior Lender failed to cure such non-monetary default (the Initial Junior Loan Non-Monetary Cure Period or such additional cure period, as applicable, the “Junior Loan Non-Monetary Cure Period”); provided, that (1) except as provided in the immediately following clause (2), in no event shall the Junior Loan Non-Monetary Cure Period extend beyond the date that is the later of (A) five (5) Business Days after the

 

53



 

Subordinate Junior Lender with the highest priority with respect to the Senior Junior Loan that is subject to a default has received notice that the Subordinate Junior Lender with the next lower priority has failed to cure such default and (B) twenty-five (25) Business Days after the expiration of Senior Junior Borrower’s cure period, if any, for such non-monetary default provided in the Senior Junior Loan Documents, to cure such non-monetary default; and (2) if such non-monetary default is susceptible of cure but cannot reasonably be cured within the applicable Junior Loan Non-Monetary Cure Period and curative action was promptly commenced and is being diligently pursued by a Subordinate Junior Lender (or with respect to a non-monetary default that is not susceptible of cure, if a Subordinate Junior Lender shall be diligently pursuing the foreclosure of its Equity Collateral and such non-monetary default does not materially impair the value, use or operation of the applicable Senior Junior Lender’s Equity Collateral as reasonably determined by such Senior Junior Lender), such Subordinate Junior Lender shall be given an additional period of time as is reasonably necessary for such Subordinate Junior Lender in the exercise of due diligence to cure such non-monetary default (or, in the case of a non-monetary default as described above that is not susceptible of cure, then such Subordinate Junior Lender shall be given an additional period of time as is reasonably necessary for such Subordinate Junior Lender in the exercise of due diligence to complete the foreclosure of its Equity Collateral) for so long as (A) such Subordinate Junior Lender makes or causes to be made timely payment of the applicable Senior Junior Borrower’s regularly scheduled monthly principal and/or interest payments under the applicable Senior Junior Loan and any other amounts due under the applicable Senior Junior Loan Documents, (B) such additional period of time does not exceed forty-five (45) days, unless such non-monetary default is of a nature that cannot be cured within such forty-five (45) days, in which case, such Subordinate Junior Lender shall have such additional time as is reasonably necessary to cure such non-monetary default, provided that such Subordinate Junior Lender is continuously and diligently pursuing a cure of such non-monetary default (or, with respect to a non-monetary default that is not susceptible of cure, such Subordinate Junior Lender shall have such additional time as is reasonably necessary to gain ownership of its Equity Collateral, provided that such Subordinate Junior Lender is continuously and diligently pursuing the ownership of its Equity Collateral and such non-monetary default does not materially impair the value, use or operation of the applicable Senior Junior Lender’s Equity Collateral as reasonably determined by such Senior Junior Lender), (C) such default is not caused by a Proceeding of the applicable Senior Junior Borrower, and (D) during such Junior Loan Non-Monetary Cure Period (and any additional period of time provided for above), there is no material impairment to the value, use or operation of the applicable Senior Junior Lender’s Equity Collateral as reasonably determined by such Senior Junior Lender (such additional Junior Loan Non-Monetary Cure Period, an “Junior Loan Extended Non-Monetary Cure Period”). If a Subordinate Junior Lender has commenced exercising any such cure right during a Junior Loan Non-Monetary Cure Period and elects not to proceed with such cure, such Junior Lender shall promptly notify the remaining Subordinate Junior Lenders, and each remaining Subordinate Junior Lender shall be deemed in compliance with the terms hereof if it commences curing such event within five (5) Business Days following receipt of written notice of such election not to proceed with such cure by the Junior Lender that precedes it in priority of cure right pursuant to this Section 12(b)(ii) and otherwise complies with the provision of the immediately preceding sentence. The Junior Loan Non-Monetary Cure Period and any additional cure period granted hereunder to a Subordinate Junior Lender electing to cure the non-monetary default (including, with respect to a non-monetary default that is not susceptible of cure, any additional time as is reasonably necessary for a Subordinate Junior Lender to foreclose on its Equity Collateral) shall automatically terminate upon the bankruptcy (or similar insolvency) of Senior Borrower or any applicable Senior Junior Borrower. In the event that the Senior Loan and one or more Senior Junior Loans are concurrently in default, a Subordinate Junior Lender shall have no right to exercise its cure rights with respect to the Senior Loan under Section 12(a) or the Senior Junior Loan(s) under Section 12(b)(i) above or this Section 12(b)(ii)

 

54



 

unless such Subordinate Junior Lender is simultaneously exercising its cure rights with respect to the Senior Loan under Sections 12(a)(i) and/or (ii) (to the extent that such Subordinate Junior Lender is permitted to exercise such cure rights under Sections 12(a)(i) and/or (ii)) and with respect to each such Senior Junior Loan(s) under Section 12(b)(i) above or this Section 12(b)(ii) (to the extent that such Subordinate Junior Lender is permitted to exercise such cure rights under Sections 12(b)(i) and/or (ii)). The Junior Loan Non-Monetary Cure Period and any additional cure period granted hereunder to any Subordinate Junior Lender electing to cure a non-monetary default of any applicable Senior Junior Borrower (including, with respect to a non-monetary default that is not susceptible of cure, any additional time as is reasonably necessary for a Subordinate Junior Lender to foreclose on its Equity Collateral) shall automatically terminate upon the bankruptcy (or similar insolvency) of such applicable Senior Junior Borrower.

 

(c)  Cash Management.  So long as the South Carolina Management Agreements are in place and so long as no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing under the Senior Loan Documents, subject to the cure rights of the Junior Lenders hereunder, all funds held and applied pursuant to the Senior Loan Cash Management Agreement and Senior Loan Agreement, shall continue to be applied in the manner required thereunder prior to the occurrence of an Event of Default under the Senior Loan. So long as no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing under the First Mezzanine Loan Documents, subject to the cure rights of the Junior Lenders hereunder, all funds held and applied pursuant to the First Mezzanine Cash Management Agreement and First Mezzanine Loan Agreement, shall continue to be applied pursuant thereto in the manner required thereunder prior to the occurrence of an Event of Default under the First Mezzanine Loan Documents. So long as no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing under the Second Mezzanine Loan Documents, subject to the cure rights of the Junior Lenders hereunder, all funds held and applied pursuant to the Second Mezzanine Cash Management Agreement and Second Mezzanine Loan Agreement, shall continue to be applied in the manner required thereunder prior to the occurrence of an Event of Default under the Second Mezzanine Loan Documents. So long as no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing under the Third Mezzanine Loan Documents, subject to the cure rights of the Junior Lenders hereunder, all funds held and applied pursuant to the Third Mezzanine Cash Management Agreement and Third Mezzanine Loan Agreement, shall continue to be applied in the manner required thereunder prior to the occurrence of an Event of Default under the Third Mezzanine Loan Documents. So long as no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing under the Fourth Mezzanine Loan Documents, subject to the cure rights of the Junior Lenders hereunder, all funds held and applied pursuant to the Fourth Mezzanine Cash Management Agreement and Fourth Mezzanine Loan Agreement, shall continue to be applied in the manner required thereunder prior to the occurrence of an Event of Default under the Fourth Mezzanine Loan Documents. So long as no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing under the Fifth Mezzanine Loan Documents, subject to the cure rights of the Junior Lenders hereunder, all funds held and applied pursuant to the Fifth Mezzanine Cash Management Agreement and Fifth Mezzanine Loan Agreement, shall continue to be applied in the manner required thereunder prior to the occurrence of an Event of Default under the Fifth Mezzanine Loan Documents. So long as no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing under the Sixth Mezzanine Loan Documents, subject to the cure rights of the Junior Lenders hereunder, all funds held and applied pursuant to the Sixth Mezzanine Cash Management Agreement and Sixth Mezzanine Loan Agreement, shall continue to be applied in the manner required thereunder prior to the occurrence of an Event of Default under the Sixth Mezzanine Loan Documents.

 

Section 13.  Replacement of Manager.

 

Senior Lender and each Junior Lender hereby consents to each Junior Lenders’ right, under the circumstances set forth in the applicable Junior Loan Documents, to cause the termination of any manager of the Premises, and the exercise of such right (and any manager replacement right exercised

 

55



 

pursuant to the terms of this Section 13 below) shall not (in and of itself) permit the Senior Lender and the other Junior Lenders to declare an Event of Default as defined in the Senior Loan Documents or the applicable Junior Loan Documents or take any Enforcement Action or Equity Collateral Enforcement Action. In the event Senior Lender and one or more Junior Lenders shall have the right to so terminate any manager of the Premises, and Senior Lender shall fail to exercise such rights within ten (10) Business days, the most junior Junior Lender may exercise such rights without the consent of the Senior Lender; provided such exercise by the most Junior Lender may be superseded by any subsequent exercise of such rights by Senior Lender in accordance to the Senior Loan Documents. If Senor Lender does not exercise its superior termination rights, the most junior Junior Lender, having terminated the property manager of the Premises pursuant to the most junior Junior Loan Documents, shall have the right to select, or cause the selection, of a replacement property manager, asset manager or leasing agent, as applicable, for the Premises, which replacement manager, asset manager and/or leasing agent for the Premises, shall be subject to Senior Lender’s reasonable approval and the applicable terms and provisions of the Senior Loan Documents, and, if any Certificates are then outstanding, be subject to a Rating Agency Confirmation, and shall be a Qualified Manager. Notwithstanding anything in this Section 13 to the contrary, if an Event of Default under the Senior Loan then is continuing, Senior Lender shall have the sole right to select any replacement manager, asset manager and/or leasing agent, as applicable, which is a Qualified Manager and, if any Certificates are then outstanding, is subject to a Rating Agency Confirmation, whether or not a new manager or agent was retained by the most junior Junior Lender; provided, Senior Lender agrees to consult with the Junior Lenders prior to making any such election; and provided, further, that without the consent of each of the Junior Lenders which is not an Affiliate of the Senior Borrower, the Senior Lender shall not engage a replacement manager that is an Affiliate of the Senior Borrower.

 

Section 14.  Right to Purchase Senior Loan and the Senior Junior Loans.  (a) At any time after (i) the occurrence and during the continuance of a monetary Event of Default under the Senior Loan or non-monetary Event of Default under the Senior Loan which is subject to an Enforcement Action or (ii) if the Senior Loan is a “specially serviced mortgage loan” under the applicable trust and servicing agreement or pooling and servicing agreement related thereto as a result of a monetary Event of Default or material non-monetary Event of Default occurring under the Senior Loan (each of the foregoing, a “Purchase Option Event”), upon ten (10) Business Days’ prior written notice to Senior Lender (the “Purchase Notice”), a Junior Lender (and, if permitted by the applicable participation agreement, a Junior Lenders’ participant) shall have the right to purchase, in whole, but not in part, the Senior Loan for a price equal to the sum of (without duplication) the outstanding principal balance of the Senior Loan, together with all accrued interest and other amounts due thereon (excluding prepayment fees or premiums that would be due if Senior Borrower were prepaying the Senior Loan at the time of such purchase in violation of the prohibition against voluntary prepayment, exit fees, yield maintenance premiums, spread maintenance premiums, default interest and late charges, but including, without limitation, post-petition interest, any unreimbursed Protective Advances made by Senior Lender or any servicer and any interest charged by Senior Lender or any servicer on any advances for monthly payments of principal and/or interest on the Senior Loan and/or on any Protective Advances), and including all costs and expenses (including reasonable legal fees and expenses) actually incurred by Senior Lender in enforcing the terms of the Senior Loan Documents, and any fees and expenses payable or reimbursable to any servicer, trustee or fiscal agent; provided that any such fees and expenses are not duplicative of any other fees and expenses otherwise payable by a Junior Lender to Senior Lender under this Section 14, including, without limitation, special servicing to any special servicer under the applicable pooling and servicing agreement, interest on advances made by any of them (but excluding any workout or liquidation fees if the Senior Loan is purchased within ninety (90) days of the Purchase Option Event) whether or not any such entity may be deemed to be Senior Lender (collectively, the “Senior Loan Purchase Price”). In the event that any Junior Lender elects to purchase the Senior Loan pursuant to this Section 14(a), the Subordinate Junior Lender with the lowest

 

56



 

priority with respect to the other Junior Lenders that have elected to purchase the Senior Loan shall have the exclusive right to so purchase the Senior Loan, provided that such Subordinate Junior Lender shall also be required to concurrently purchase each of the applicable Senior Junior Loans from the Senior Junior Lenders holding such applicable Senior Junior Loans (regardless of whether such Senior Junior Lenders were among the Junior Lenders which had elected to purchase the Senior Loan). Such purchase of each of the Senior Junior Loans shall be for a price equal to the sum of (without duplication) the outstanding principal balance of the Senior Junior Loan, together with all accrued interest and other amounts due thereon (including, without limitation, advances made by Senior Junior Lender or any servicer and post-petition interest), any unreimbursed Protective Advances made by such Senior Junior Lender or any servicer), including all costs and expenses (including reasonable legal fees and expenses) actually incurred by such Senior Junior Lender in enforcing the terms of the applicable Senior Junior Loan Documents, any fees and expenses payable or reimbursable to any servicer (provided that any such fees and expenses are not duplicative of any default interest, late charges or other fees and expenses otherwise payable by a Subordinate Junior Lender to such Senior Junior Lender under this Section 14); excluding any workout or liquidation fees, prepayment fees or premiums that would be due if the applicable Senior Junior Borrower were prepaying the applicable Senior Junior Loan at the time of such purchase in violation of the prohibition against voluntary prepayment, exit fees, yield maintenance premiums, spread maintenance premiums, late charges and default interest (such price as to each such Senior Junior Loan, the “Senior Junior Loan Purchase Price”). A Subordinate Junior Lender may not close the purchase of the Senior Loan without concurrently closing the purchase of the applicable Senior Junior Loans in accordance with the terms of this paragraph. Prior to electing to purchase the Senior Loan and/or any Senior Junior Loan, a Subordinate Junior Lender shall have the right to obtain from Senior Lender and each Senior Junior Lender a good faith estimate of the Senior Loan Purchase Price and Senior Junior Loan Purchase Price, respectively. If any Subordinate Junior Lender which has elected to purchase the Senior Loan fails to complete such purchase within ten (10) Business Days after delivery of a Purchase Notice or fails to concurrently purchase the applicable Senior Junior Loans as required hereunder, then such Purchase Notice shall be deemed invalid, such defaulting Subordinate Junior Lender shall cease to have any right to purchase the Senior Loan (and any applicable Senior Junior Loan) in connection with the applicable Purchase Option Event and the remaining Junior Lenders shall thereafter be entitled to exercise their purchase rights under, and in accordance with, this Section 14(a). Senior Lender shall close the sale of the Senior Loan to the applicable Junior Lender on the date set forth in the Senior Purchase Notice subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement. Each Junior Lender agrees that the sale of the Senior Loan shall, if the Senior Loan is included in a Securitization at such time, comply with the requirements of the pooling and servicing agreement pursuant to which the Certificates were issued and that all attorney’s fees related to the preparation and delivery of the assignment of the Senior Loan shall be paid by the applicable Junior Lender. Concurrently with payment to Senior Lender of the Senior Loan Purchase Price, Senior Lender shall deliver or cause to be delivered to the Junior Lender exercising the purchase right hereunder all Senior Loan Documents held by or on behalf of Senior Lender and will execute in favor of the Junior Lender or its designee exercising the purchase right hereunder, assignment documentation, in form and substance reasonably acceptable to Senior Lender and such Junior Lender, at the sole cost and expense of such Junior Lender to assign the Senior Loan and its rights under the Senior Loan Documents (without recourse, representations or warranties, except for representations as to the outstanding balance of the Senior Loan, the power and authority of the Senior Lender to transfer the Senior Loan and as to Senior Lender’s ownership and not having previously assigned, transferred, participated or encumbered its rights in the Senior Loan unless such participation or encumbrance will be released prior to the transfer). Concurrently with payment to each of Senior Junior Lenders of the applicable Senior Junior Loan Purchase Price for the Senior Junior Loan held by each such Senior Junior Lender, each applicable Senior Junior Lender shall deliver or cause to be delivered to the Subordinate Junior Lender exercising the purchase right hereunder all Senior Junior Loan Documents held by or on behalf of such Senior Junior Lender and will execute in

 

57



 

favor of such Subordinate Junior Lender or its designee assignment documentation, in form and substance reasonably acceptable to such Subordinate Junior Lender, at the sole cost and expense of such Subordinate Junior Lender, to assign such Senior Junior Lender’s Senior Junior Loan and its rights under the related Senior Junior Loan Documents (without recourse, representations or warranties, except for representations as to the outstanding balance of such Senior Junior Loan, the power and authority of the Senior Junior Lender to transfer the Senior Junior Loan and as to such Senior Junior Lender’s ownership and not having previously assigned, transferred, participated or encumbered its rights in such Senior Junior Loan unless such participation or encumbrance will be released prior to the transfer). Following the occurrence of a Purchase Option Event, each Junior Lender shall keep the other Junior Lenders informed as to such Junior Lender’s intention to exercise any of its respective rights in connection with the Purchase Option Event.

 

(b)           The right of each Junior Lender to purchase the Senior Loan shall automatically terminate (i) ten (10) Business Days after receipt of notice that a more senior Senior Junior Lender has elected to exercise the right to purchase the Senior Loan (unless the more junior Junior Lender shall have given written notice to such Senior Junior Lender to purchase the Senior Loan prior to the expiration of such ten (10) Business Day period), (ii) upon a transfer of the Premises by foreclosure sale, sale by power of sale or delivery of a deed in lieu of foreclosure, or (iii) with respect to a specific Purchase Option Event, if such Purchase Option Event ever ceases to exist; provided, however, that in no event shall any Junior Lender have less than thirty (30) days to deliver a Purchase Notice following notice by Senior Lender to such Junior Lender of the occurrence of the related Purchase Option Event, except pursuant to the terms of clause (A)(iii) of this sentence. Notwithstanding the foregoing sentence, if Borrower offers to deliver or actually delivers to Senior Lender a deed in lieu of foreclosure to the Premises (each, a “Deed in Lieu”), Senior Lender shall provide Junior Lenders not less than ten (10) Business Days written notice prior to accepting a Deed in Lieu to the Premises, and if any Junior Lender shall deliver a Purchase Notice to Senior Lender prior to the expiration of such ten (10) Business Day period, Senior Lender shall not accept the Deed in Lieu to the Premises, provided that the applicable Junior Lender pays the Senior Loan Purchase Price to Senior Lender and acquires the Senior Loan (and the Senior Junior Loans at the applicable Senior Junior Loan Purchase Price) within such ten (10) Business Day period from the delivery of such Purchase Notice, in which case all costs and expenses (including all transfer taxes) in connection therewith shall be paid by the applicable Junior Lender.

 

(c)           If a Junior Loan has been accelerated, any Equity Collateral Enforcement Action has been commenced under the Junior Loan Documents for a Junior Loan, a Proceeding has been commenced against a Junior Borrower under such Junior Loan or a Subordinate Junior Lender has cured one or more defaults on the part of any Junior Borrower under the Senior Junior Loan Documents pursuant to Section 12 hereof and, but for such cure, the Senior Junior Loan would be considered a “specially serviced mortgage loan” under the applicable pooling and servicing agreement if it were the Senior Loan (a “Junior Loan Purchase Option Event”), the Junior Lender holding such Junior Loan (such Junior Loan, the “Optioned Junior Loan” and such Junior Lender, the “Optioned Junior Lender”) shall provide prompt written notice of the same to the applicable Subordinate Junior Lenders, and upon ten (10) Business Days’ prior written notice (the “Junior Purchase Notice”) to the Senior Junior Lender holding the Optioned Junior Loan that is subject to the applicable Junior Loan Purchase Option Event, the applicable Subordinate Junior Lenders (and, if permitted by the applicable participation agreement, Optioned Junior Lenders’ participant) shall have the right to purchase, in whole but not in part, the applicable Optioned Junior Loan for the Senior Junior Loan Purchase Price. Notwithstanding the foregoing but subject to the terms of the next to last sentence of this Section 14(c), the failure of a Senior Junior Lender to provide notice to any applicable Subordinate Junior Lender of the occurrence of a Junior Loan Purchase Option Event shall have no adverse effect on such Junior Lender. In the event that more than one Subordinate Junior Lender elects to purchase an Optioned Junior Loan pursuant to this Section 14(c), the Subordinate Junior Lender with the lowest priority with

 

58



 

respect to the other Subordinate Junior Lenders that have elected to purchase such Optioned Junior Loan shall have the exclusive right to so purchase such Optioned Junior Loan, provided that such Subordinate Junior Lender shall also be required to concurrently purchase each of the other Subordinate Junior Loans that constitute, as to such purchasing Subordinate Junior Lender, Senior Junior Loans from the Junior Lenders holding such other Subordinate Junior Loans that so constitute Senior Junior Loans that are also Subordinate Junior Loans in respect of the Optioned Junior Loan (such other Subordinate Junior Loans, the “Additional Covered Junior Loans”) in each case for a price equal to the applicable Senior Junior Loan Purchase Price. If any Subordinate Junior Lender which has elected to purchase the Optioned Junior Loan that is subject to the applicable Junior Loan Purchase Option Event fails to complete such purchase within ten (10) Business Days of delivery of a Junior Purchase Notice or fails to concurrently purchase the applicable Additional Covered Junior Loans as required hereunder, then such Junior Purchase Notice shall be deemed invalid, such defaulting Subordinate Junior Lender shall cease to have any right to purchase the Optioned Junior Loan in connection with the applicable Junior Loan Purchase Option Event and the other Subordinate Junior Lenders shall thereafter be entitled to exercise their purchase rights under, and in accordance with, this Section 14(c). Concurrently with payment to the applicable Senior Junior Lenders of the applicable Senior Junior Loan Purchase Price for the Optioned Junior Loan or Additional Covered Junior Loan, as the case may be, held by such Senior Junior Lender, each applicable Senior Junior Lender shall deliver or cause to be delivered to the Subordinate Junior Lender exercising the purchase right hereunder all Senior Junior Loan Documents held by or on behalf of such Senior Junior Lender and will execute in favor of such Subordinate Junior Lender or its designee assignment documentation, in form and substance reasonably acceptable to such Subordinate Junior Lender, at the sole cost and expense of such Subordinate Junior Lender, to assign such Senior Junior Lender’s Optioned Junior Loan, or Additional Covered Junior Loan, as the case may be, and its rights under the related Senior Junior Loan Documents (without recourse, representations or warranties, except for representations as to the outstanding balance of such Optioned Junior Loan or Additional Covered Junior Loan, as the case may be, and as to such Senior Junior Lender’s ownership and not having previously assigned, transferred, participated or encumbered its rights in such Optioned Junior Loan or Additional Covered Junior Loan, as the case may be, unless such participation or encumbrance will be released prior to the transfer). The right of any Subordinate Junior Lender to purchase the Optioned Junior Loan shall automatically terminate (x) upon a transfer or sale of the Equity Collateral covered by the Senior Junior Loan Documents that secure the Optioned Junior Loan, pursuant to any Equity Collateral Enforcement Action where the transferee is not Senior Borrower (or any Affiliate thereof), or (y) with respect to a specific Junior Loan Purchase Option Event, if such Junior Loan Purchase Option Event ceases to exist (including, if the applicable Senior Junior Lender terminated its Equity Collateral Enforcement Action); provided, however, that in no event shall any Subordinate Junior Lender have less than thirty (30) days, following notice by the applicable Senior Junior Lender to such Subordinate Junior Lender of the occurrence of a Junior Loan Purchase Option Event, to elect to purchase the Optioned Junior Loan, except if such period for such election to purchase is terminated pursuant to the terms of foregoing clause (x) or (y). Notwithstanding the foregoing sentence, if title is transferred to any Subordinate Junior Lender less than ten (10) days after the acceleration of the applicable Senior Junior Loan, the applicable Subordinate Junior Lenders shall have a ten (10) day period to deliver the applicable Senior Junior Loan Purchase Notice to the applicable Senior Junior Lender with the obligation to purchase the applicable Equity Collateral within ten (10) days of the delivery of such Senior Junior Loan Purchase Notice at the applicable Senior Junior Loan Purchase Price, in which case all costs and expenses (including all transfer taxes) in connection therewith shall be paid by the applicable Subordinate Junior Lender.

 

(d)           Senior Lender and each Junior Lender covenants not to, and not to permit any Affiliate to, enter any agreement with Borrower, any Junior Borrower or any Affiliate thereof to purchase the Senior Loan or any Junior Loan pursuant to this Section or in connection with any refinancing of the

 

59



 

Senior Loan or any Junior Loan in any manner designed to avoid or circumvent the provisions of the Senior Loan Documents or any of the Junior Loan Documents which require the payment of any liquidated damage amount, acceleration prepayment premium, a prepayment fee, premiums or yield maintenance charge in connection with a prepayment of the Senior Loan or a Junior Loan. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the ten (10) Business Day period following delivery of the Purchase Notice during which a purchasing Junior Lender is required to consummate such purchase, may be extended for an additional ten (10) Business Days upon payment to the Senior Lender of a nonrefundable deposit in an amount equal to ten percent (10%) of the Senior Loan Purchase Price.

 

Section 15.  Additional Understandings.  For as long any Junior Loan remains outstanding:

 

(a)  Notices of Transfer, etc.  In the event of a request by Senior Borrower or any Junior Borrower for Senior Lender’s or any Junior Lender’s consent to either (i) the sale or Transfer of all or any material portion of the Premises or any interest in Senior Borrower or any Junior Borrower, or (ii) the granting of a further mortgage, deed of trust or similar encumbrance against the Premises or any of the Equity Collateral or any incurrence of additional indebtedness, such Person from whom such consent has been requested shall, as long as no Event of Default has occurred under the Senior Loan or the Junior Loan held by such Person, if such Person has the right to consent under the Senior Loan Documents or Junior Loan Documents held by such Person or such consent is otherwise requested from such Person, obtain the prior written consent of the Junior Lenders or the applicable Subordinate Junior Lenders, as the case may be, prior to such Person granting its consent or agreement thereto (for the purposes of this Section 15(a), each Junior Lender is to be reasonable to the extent Senior Lender must be reasonable, but nothing contained above is intended to reduce or limit the rights of each Junior Lender under its respective Junior Loan Documents).

Senior Lender shall consult with each Junior Lender with respect to any such consent or approval right of such Junior Lender. Each Junior Lender having such consent rights shall not unreasonably withhold its consent to such lease or alteration if Senior Lender (A) is deemed to have approved such lease or alteration under the Senior Loan Documents or (B) reasonably approves such lease or alteration provided, with respect to a lease, the lease is on market terms and, with respect to an alteration, the alteration is necessary to maintain the Premises in good order and repair as required by the Senior Loan Documents.

Each Junior Lender agrees that, except with respect to the enforcement of its remedies under its applicable Junior Loan Documents permitted hereunder (including the foreclosure and acquisition of its applicable Equity Collateral through an Enforcement Action), prior to the satisfaction of all Senior Loan Liabilities it shall not acquire, by subrogation or otherwise, any lien, estate, right or other interest in any portion of the Premises or any other collateral now securing the Senior Loan or the proceeds therefrom that is or may be prior to, or of equal priority to, any of the Senior Loan Documents or the liens, rights, estates and interests created thereby.

 

(g)  Requests for Disbursements.  Senior Lender hereby agrees to promptly (x) notify each Junior Lender of any requests by Senior Borrower for disbursements of funds from the Reserve Funds (as defined in the Senior Loan Agreement) or a release of Net Proceeds (as defined in the Senior Loan Documents) and (y) provide each Junior Lender with any documentation delivered by Senior Borrower to Senior Lender with respect to any such request by Senior Borrower for a disbursement of funds from the Reserve Funds or release of Net Proceeds (provided that in no event shall Senior Lender have any liability for a failure by Senior Lender to provide such notice or documentation to any Junior Lender, and no such failure shall constitute a default hereunder).

 

(h)  Cash Management.  (i) Senior Lender hereby agrees to deliver to each Junior Lender a copy of any notice sent or received by Senior Lender with respect to the Senior Loan Cash Management Agreement, including, without limitation, each disbursement instruction delivered under such Senior Loan Cash Management Agreement. Such copies shall be delivered to each Junior Lender concurrently with the delivery of such notices to the Agent under the Senior Loan Cash Management Agreement or promptly after receipt thereof by Senior Lender, as the case may be.

Each Senior Junior Lender shall cause its applicable Senior Junior Loan Cash Management Agreement to provide that the Agent thereunder shall provide each applicable Subordinate Junior Lender with access to information regarding the applicable Cash Management Account (as such term is defined in the applicable Senior Junior Loan Cash Management Agreement).

 

(i)  Notices of Default.  (i) Each Junior Lender shall give Senior Lender and each other Junior Lender notice of any Event of Default, acceleration of its applicable Junior Loan and the commencement of any Equity Collateral Enforcement Action under its Junior Loan Documents and, simultaneously with giving such notices to its Junior Borrower, copies of notices given to its Junior Borrower of events that with the passage of time and failure to cure, would result in the occurrence of a “Default” or “Event of Default” under its respective Junior Loan Documents.

 

(ii)           Senior Lender shall give each Junior Lender written notice of any Event of Default, acceleration of the Senior Loan, transfer of the Senior Loan to “special servicing” and the commencement of an Enforcement Action under the Senior Loan Documents and, simultaneously with giving such notices to Senior Borrower, copies of notices given to Senior Borrower of events that with the passage of time and failure to cure, would result in the occurrence of a “Default” or “Event of Default” under the Senior Loan Documents.

 

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

 

62



 

(k)  LIBOR Determination Notices.  Senior Lender shall provide each Junior Lender with a copy of its determination of the LIBOR Rate applicable to each Interest Period under the Senior Loan promptly after determination thereof.

Upon any inspection of the books, records or the Premises of any Junior Borrower by a Junior Lender, pursuant to the terms of its respective Junior Loan Documents, such Junior Lender shall, upon written request of Senior Lender and any other Junior Lender, take action to encourage its Junior Borrower to reasonably cooperate to provide Senior Lender and such other requesting Junior Lender access for its own inspection of such books, records or the Premises. The provisions of this Section 15(l) shall not be interpreted to limit in any way the rights in favor of any Junior Lender under its respective Junior Loan Documents.

 

(m)  Resizing.  In connection with any Securitization of the Senior Loan, Senior Lender may notify the Junior Lenders that it intends to purchase a portion of certain of the Junior Loans and convert such purchased portion of such Junior Loans into the Senior Loan and, if applicable, the more senior Junior Loans, or require certain of the Junior Lenders to purchase a portion of the Senior Loan and convert such purchased portion into one or more of the Junior Loans (a “Resizing Notice”) which purchase shall occur within ten (10) Business Days of the Resizing Notice (the “Resizing Date”). Any such resizing shall have no material adverse effect on any of the other Junior Loans and shall not change the initial weighted average interest rate of the Senior Loan and the Junior Loans. Provided that no Event of Default exists under the Senior Loan or the affected Junior Loans, the affected Junior Lenders shall either (i) sell a portion of their Junior Loans to Senior Lender and, if applicable to the more senior Junior Lenders, or (ii) purchase a portion of the Senior Loan from Senior Lender, and if applicable, a portion of the more senior Junior Loans (the “Resized Components”). The Resizing Notice shall set forth: (1) the effective date of such resizing, (2) the principal amount of the Junior Loans to be purchased and converted into the Senior Loan, and, if applicable, into the more senior Junior Loans, or the principal amount of the Senior Loan and, if applicable, the more senior Junior Loans, to be purchased and converted into the affected Junior Loans, (3) the adjusted balance of the affected Junior Loans after such purchase(s) and conversion, (4) the adjusted Senior Loan balance after such purchase and conversion, (5) the adjusted Spread of the affected Junior Loans after such purchase and conversion, (6) the adjusted Spread of the Senior Loan after such purchase and conversion, and (7) the adjusted amortization schedules, if applicable, and release prices (both of which shall be allocated pro rata between the Senior Loan and the affected Junior Loans), as between the Senior Loan and the affected Junior Loans. Senior Lender and each Junior Lender each agrees that, at Senior Lender’s expense, the Senior Loan Documents and the applicable Junior Loan Documents shall each be modified accordingly in order to reflect the terms set forth in the Resizing Notice (on or before the Resizing Date), which shall include (as applicable), among other things, modifications to the Title Insurance Policy, Interest Rate Cap Agreement, UCC Title Insurance Policy, and opinion letters delivered in connection with the Senior Loan and the affected Junior Loans, which modification documents shall be subject to the approval of the Senior Lender and the other Junior Lenders, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. True and correct copies of such modified documents shall be delivered to each of the Junior Lenders promptly after execution thereof. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this clause (m), any resizing to be effectuated pursuant to this clause (m) shall only affect those of the Junior Loans which at such time continue to be owned by the originating Junior Lender (and originating Junior Noteholders) of each such Junior Loan.

 

(n)  Uncross of Properties.  Senior Lender or its Affiliates may remove certain Individual Properties (each, an “Affected Property”) in connection with or after a Securitization of the Senior

 

63



 

Loan; provided that (i) each Junior Lender shall have approved of the structure and the documentation necessary to effectuate the uncross of any Affected Property, and (ii) Senior Lender or its Affiliates and each Junior Lender shall mutually agree as to the cross-collateralization and cross-default of the debt allocated to each Affected Property so removed from the Securitization all at Senior Lender’s sole cost and expense (including reasonable attorneys’ fees). Notwithstanding the foregoing, the obligations and rights of Senior Lender set forth in this Section 15(n) are limited to the initial named Senior Lender hereunder and the trustee for any Securitization of the Senior Loan, and no other successors or assigns of the initial named Senior Lender hereunder shall have any obligations or rights under this Section 15(n).

 

(o)  Property Inspection Rights and Reports.  Senior Lender will use commercially reasonable efforts to endeavor, at no cost to Senior Lender, to cause the Senior Borrower to permit agents, representatives and employees of any Junior Lender to inspect the Premises or any part thereof during normal business hours on Business Days upon reasonable advance notice, provided that, as required pursuant to the Senior Loan Agreement, such inspections are subject in all instances to the rights of tenants, and provided that neither such inspections shall not unreasonably interfere with the operation of business on the Premises. In addition, to the extent that Senior Lender prepares or receives property reports or financial reports from the Borrowers or with respect to the Premises (including any notices, documents, plans, specifications or reports received in connection with alterations to the Premises), Senior Lender will provide copies of such reports to any Junior Lender at such Junior Lender’s request.

 

(p)  Interest Rate Cap Agreement.(1)  [Notwithstanding the occurrence of an Event of Default under the Senior Loan, until such time that Senior Borrower and each of the Junior Borrowers obtain separate Interest Rate Cap Agreements for each of their respective loans, Senior Lender shall distribute any payments received under the Interest Rate Cap Agreement to each Junior Lender in the amount of such Junior Lender’s allocable share of such payment.]

 


(1)                                  To be deleted if there are interest rate cap agreements in place at Closing for each Junior Loan.

 

(q)  Cooperation with Junior Lender(s).  At the request of any Junior Lender, Senior Lender and each other Junior Lender shall use reasonable efforts, at such requesting Junior Lender’s expense, to cooperate with such Junior Lender in attempting to cause Senior Borrower and each affected Junior Borrower in such Junior Lender’s creation of component notes, splitting its Junior Loan into or one or more new mezzanine loans or consolidating one or more Junior Loans held by such Junior Lender into a fewer number of Junior Loans, including entering into (or consenting to, as applicable) any modifications to this Agreement, the Senior Loan Documents or the affected Junior Loan Documents, and to cooperate with such requesting Junior Lender in attempting to cause Senior Borrower and the other Junior Borrowers to execute such modifications to the Senior Loan Documents and the applicable Junior Loan Documents, in any such case, as may be reasonably requested by the requesting Junior Lender; provided, however, Senior Lender or any such Junior Lender shall not be required to modify or amend this Agreement, any Senior Loan Documents or its respective Junior Loan Documents (or consent to such modification of the Senior Loan Documents or the applicable Junior Loan Documents), if such modification or amendment would (1) materially increase Senior Borrower’s obligations under the Senior Loan Documents or materially decrease the Senior Borrower’s rights, remedies or protections thereunder or materially increase the respective Junior Borrower’s obligations under its Junior Loan Documents or decrease such Junior Lender’s rights, remedies or protections thereunder, (2) change the economic terms allocable to the Senior Loan or the applicable Junior Loans (including, without limitation, the basis upon which any reserve requirement is triggered or suspended) under the Senior Loan Documents and/or applicable Junior Loan Documents or (3) otherwise, in Senior Lender’s or any Junior Lender’s judgment, have any material adverse impact on Senior Lender or such Junior Lender or on the Senior Loan or such Junior Lender’s Junior Loan.

(r)  Ground Lease Default.  Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, a Ground Lease Default (defined below) shall, for all purposes hereunder, constitute a default under the Senior Loan with respect to which Junior Lenders shall have the right to cure in accordance with this Section 15(r) whether or not Senior Lender has cured such Ground Lease Default. In connection with any default by the applicable Senior Borrower under a Ground Lease (a “Ground Lease Default”), Senior Lender shall, subject to the limitations and conditions set forth below, comply with each of the following provisions, to the extent applicable:

 

(i)            If Senior Lender shall receive any written notice that a Ground Lease Default has occurred and is continuing, Senior Lender shall promptly notify each Junior Lender in writing of the same and promptly deliver to each Junior Lender a true and complete copy of each such notice. Further, Senior Lender shall provide such documents and information as each Junior Lender shall reasonably request concerning the Ground Lease Default; provided that, in the event such requested documentation and information is not in the actual possession of Senior Lender, Senior Lender shall only be required to use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain such information and the applicable Junior Lender shall pay all reasonable costs and expenses of Senior Lender incurred in connection with obtaining such requested documentation and information.

 

(ii)           Senior Lender shall, if requested by a Junior Lender, take all commercially reasonable action, to the extent permitted under the defaulted Ground Lease and not performed by Senior Borrower, to (A) cure any Ground Lease Default (to the extent such Ground Lease Default is susceptible of cure by Senior Lender), to keep and maintain such Ground Lease in full force and effect and (B) exercise any option to renew or extend the Ground Lease and give written confirmation thereof to each Junior Lender within thirty (30) days after such option is exercised; provided that the costs and expenses incurred by Senior Lender in taking any such actions under this clause (ii) shall be paid pro rata by the Junior Lenders, except to the extent such costs and expenses are otherwise allocated to any party other than the Senior Lender pursuant to the pooling and servicing agreement for the Securitization of the Senior Loan.

 

(iii)          If the ground lessor shall reject the Ground Lease under or pursuant to Section 365 of the Bankruptcy Code, Senior Lender shall use commercially reasonable efforts to not permit the Senior Borrower to elect to treat the Ground Lease as terminated, and shall use commercially reasonable efforts to require the Senior Borrower to elect to remain in possession of the Premises demised under the Ground Lease and the leasehold estate under the Ground Lease.

 

(iv)          In the event that the Senior Lender assumes a Ground Lease or becomes entitled to a New Lease from the ground lessor prior to Senior Borrower rejecting such Ground Lease in a Proceeding, Senior Lender hereby agrees that, in the event that a Junior Lender forecloses or otherwise realizes upon its Equity Collateral in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, including, but not limited to, the terms and provisions of Section 6 hereof, and thereby gains title to such Equity Collateral, Senior Lender hereby agrees that, promptly after the completion of such foreclosure or other action to transfer title to such Equity Collateral, it will assign the assumed Ground Lease or New Lease to the Senior Borrower.

 

(v)           Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, (A) in the event that a Junior Lender requests that Senior Lender take or refrain from taking any action pursuant to this Section 15(r) and Senior Lender complies with such request, such Junior Lender shall protect, indemnify and save harmless the Indemnified Parties from and against any claims, demands, penalties, fines, liabilities, settlements, damages, costs and expenses of whatever kind or nature, known or unknown, contingent or otherwise, whether incurred or imposed within or outside the judicial process, including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements imposed upon or incurred by or asserted against any of the Indemnified Parties by reason of such requested actions or inactions and (B) Senior Lender shall have no obligation to

 

65



 

take or refrain from taking any action pursuant to this Section 15(r) (1) unless and until such Junior Lender has cured all monetary Events of Default under the Senior Loan Documents and all non-monetary Events of Default under the Senior Loan Documents (other than those which are not susceptible of cure by Junior Lender and which do not materially impair the value, use or operation of the Premises) prior to the lapse of any cure periods set forth under Section 12(a)(ii) or (2) if compliance with the provisions of this Section 15(r) would (1) violate the Senior Loan Documents or any law, rule or regulation or (2) in the event that the Senior Loan or any interest therein is included as an asset of a real estate mortgage investment conduit (“REMIC”) within the meaning of Section 860D(a) of the Code, cause the Senior Loan (or portion thereof which is included in a REMIC) to fail to qualify at all times as a “qualified mortgage” within the meaning of Section 860G(a)(3) of the Code, or, subsequent to a foreclosure or delivery of a deed in lieu thereof, fail to qualify the Premises, as “foreclosure property” within the meaning of Section 860G(a)(8) of the Code. In addition, notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, if Senior Lender determines, in accordance with Accepted Servicing Practices, that any other action in connection with a Ground Lease Default is necessary to preserve the related Ground Lease or to protect or preserve the lien of the Mortgage, Senior Lender may take any such action; provided, in either event, that Senior Lender or any servicer on its behalf shall not be obligated to expend or advance any of its own funds if such Person determines that such expenditure or advance would constitute a non-recoverable advance under the terms of any servicing agreement governing the administration of the Senior Loan (it being agreed that in the event Junior Lender delivers to Senior Lender sums sufficient to cure any monetary default under the Ground Lease, the expenditure of such sums shall not be deemed a non-recoverable expenditure).

 

(vi)          Any sums due to Senior Lender from a Junior Lender under this Section 15(r) or reasonably requested by Senior Lender in anticipation of incurring any expenses required to be paid by such Junior Lender pursuant to this Section 15(r), shall be paid within ten (10) Business Days of demand by Senior Lender. Failure to pay any such sums within five (5) Business Days of Senior Lender’s written notification to such Junior Lender that such Junior Lender failed to comply with the requirements of the immediately preceding sentence will constitute a waiver by such Junior Lender of any rights it may have under this Section 15(r).

 

(vii)         Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, if Senior Lender and/or one or more Junior Lenders elect to exercise any rights granted to a Junior Lender under this Section 15(r), Senior Lender and each Senior Junior Lender acknowledge and agree that, as between Senior Lender and each Junior Lender, the most junior Subordinate Junior Lender shall have the superior right to exercise such rights.

 

(viii)        Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to grant any Junior Lender the right to cure a Ground Lease Default beyond the period for cure afforded to the Senior Lender or Junior Lender under the Ground Lease (or any agreement entered into with the ground lessor thereunder).

 

(s)  Subordination of Ground Lease.  Senior Lender shall not consent to the subordination of any Ground Lease to any fee mortgage, except to the extent such subordination is required as a condition to receiving a New Lease, without the prior written consent of each Junior Lender, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed.

 

(t)  Modification of the Ground Lease.  Senior Lender shall not consent to a modification or termination of the Ground Lease, except to the extent Senior Lender has the obligation to so consent in the Senior Loan Documents, without the prior written consent of each Junior Lender, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. Senior Lender shall use commercially reasonable efforts to forward to each Junior Lender any notice Senior Lender receives under each

 

66



 

Ground Lease; provided, however, that failure of Senior Lender to deliver such notice shall not impose any liability on Senior Lender nor modify the obligations of the parties hereunder.

 

Section 16.  Financing of the Junior Loans.  (a) Notwithstanding any other provision hereof but subject to the provisions of Section 16(b), Senior Lender and each Junior Lender hereby consents to each Junior Lender’s pledge (a “Pledge”) of its respective Junior Loan and of the Separate Collateral to any entity which has extended a credit facility to such Junior Lender that is a Qualified Transferee or a financial institution whose long-term unsecured debt is rated at least “A” (or the equivalent) or better by each Rating Agency (a “Loan Pledgee”), on the terms and conditions set forth in this Section 16, it is also agreed that the sale by a Junior Lender of its respective Junior Loan to a Qualified Transferee and the simultaneous agreement by such Junior Lender to repurchase its Junior Loan under an arrangement documented as a repurchase agreement (the “Repo Agreement”) shall qualify as a Pledge, provided all applicable terms and conditions of this subsection (a) are complied with; provided further that a Loan Pledgee which is not a Qualified Transferee may not take title to the Separate Collateral without a Rating Agency Confirmation. Upon written notice by a Junior Lender to Senior Lender and the other Junior Lenders that the Pledge has been effected, Senior Lender and each Junior Lender agrees to acknowledge receipt of such notice and thereafter agrees: (i) to give Loan Pledgee written notice of any default by the applicable Junior Lender under this Agreement of which default Senior Lender or such Junior Lender has actual knowledge; (ii) to allow Loan Pledgee a period of ten (10) days (in respect of a monetary default) and thirty (30) days (in respect of a non-monetary default) by the applicable Junior Lender in respect of its obligations to Senior Lender or such Junior Lender hereunder, but Loan Pledgee shall not be obligated to cure any such default; (iii) that no amendment or modification of this Agreement which adversely affects the rights or obligations of the Junior Lender which has made a Pledge to such Loan Pledgee, and no waiver or termination of any applicable Junior Lender’s rights under this Agreement, shall be effective against Loan Pledgee without the written consent of Loan Pledgee, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld; provided, however, the consent of the Loan Pledgee shall not be required unless the applicable Junior Lender’s consent was required pursuant to the terms of this Agreement to effect such modification, waiver or termination; (iv) that Senior Lender shall give to Loan Pledgee copies of any Senior Loan Default Notice and each Junior Lender shall give to Loan Pledgee copies of any Junior Loan Default Notice issued by such Junior Lender simultaneously with the giving of same to the applicable Junior Lender and accept any cure thereof by Loan Pledgee made in accordance with the provisions of Section 12 of this Agreement as if such cure were made by the applicable Junior Lender; (v) that Senior Lender and each Junior Lender shall deliver to Loan Pledgee such estoppel certificate(s) as Loan Pledgee shall reasonably request, provided that any such estoppel certificate(s) shall be in the form contemplated by Section 19 or in such other form reasonably acceptable to Senior Lender and such Junior Lender; and (vi) that, upon written notice (a “Redirection Notice”) to Senior Lender or a Junior Lender by Loan Pledgee that either (x) states that the pledging Junior Lender is in default, beyond applicable cure periods, under such Junior Lender’s obligations to Loan Pledgee pursuant to the applicable credit agreement (or Repo Agreement) between such Junior Lender and Loan Pledgee (which notice need not be joined in or confirmed by such Junior Lender), or (y) is joined in or confirmed by such pledging Junior Lender countersigning the Redirection Notice, and until such Redirection Notice is withdrawn or rescinded by Loan Pledgee, Senior Lender and each Junior Lender shall remit to the applicable Loan Pledgee and not to the applicable Junior Lender, any payments that Senior Lender or a Junior Lender would otherwise be obligated to pay to such Junior Lender from time to time pursuant to this Agreement, any Senior Loan Document, any Junior Loan Document or any other agreement between Senior Lender or any Junior Lender that relates to the Senior Loan or a Junior Loan. Each Junior Lender hereby unconditionally and absolutely releases Senior Lender and the other Junior Lenders from any liability to such Junior Lender on account of Senior Lender’s or a Junior Lender’s compliance with any Redirection Notice believed by Senior Lender or a Junior Lender to have been delivered by such Junior Lender’s Loan Pledgee. Loan

 

67



 

Pledgee shall be permitted to fully exercise its rights and remedies against the applicable Junior Lender, and realize on any and all collateral granted by the applicable Junior Lender to Loan Pledgee (and accept an assignment in lieu of foreclosure as to such collateral), in accordance with applicable law. In such event, the Senior Lender and each of the other Junior Lenders shall recognize Loan Pledgee (and any transferee which is also a Qualified Transferee at any foreclosure or similar sale held by Loan Pledgee or any transfer in lieu of such foreclosure), and its successors and assigns, as the successor to the applicable Junior Lender’s rights, remedies and obligations under this Agreement and the Junior Loan Documents and any such Loan Pledgee or Qualified Transferee shall assume in writing (for the benefit of Senior Lender and the other Junior Lenders and their respective successors and assigns) the obligations of the applicable Junior Lender hereunder accruing from and after such Transfer and agrees to be bound by the terms and provisions hereof, it being agreed that, notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, such Loan Pledgee shall not be required to so assume applicable Junior Lender’s obligations hereunder prior to such realization on such collateral. The rights of Loan Pledgee under this Section 16 shall remain effective unless and until Loan Pledgee shall have notified the Senior Lender and Junior Lenders in writing that its interest in the applicable Junior Loan has terminated.

 

(b)           Notwithstanding any provisions herein to the contrary, if a conduit (“Conduit”) which is not a Qualified Transferee provides financing to Junior Lender, then such Conduit will be a permitted “Loan Pledgee” despite the fact it is not a Qualified Transferee if the following conditions are satisfied:

 

(i)            the loan (the “Conduit Inventory Loan”) made by the Conduit to the Junior Lender to finance the acquisition and holding of its interest in the Junior Lender’s Junior Loan will require a third party (the “Conduit Credit Enhancer”) to provide credit enhancement;

 

(ii)           the Conduit Credit Enhancer and the administrator of the Conduit will be a Qualified Transferee;

 

(iii)          the pledging Junior Lender will pledge (or sell, transfer or assign as part of a repurchase facility) its interest in the Junior Loan to the Conduit as collateral for the Conduit Inventory Loan;

 

(iv)          the Conduit Credit Enhancer and the Conduit will agree that, if Junior Lender defaults under the Conduit Inventory Loan, or if the Conduit is unable to refinance its outstanding commercial paper even if there is no default by Junior Lender, the Conduit Credit Enhancer will purchase the Conduit Inventory Loan from the Conduit, and the Conduit will assign the pledge of Junior Lender’s interest in the Junior Loan to the Conduit Credit Enhancer; and

 

(v)           unless the Conduit is in fact then a Qualified Transferee, the Conduit will not without obtaining a Rating Agency Confirmation from each Rating Agency have any greater right to acquire the interests in the Junior Loan pledged by the Junior Lender, by foreclosure or otherwise, than would any other purchaser that is not a Qualified Transferee at a foreclosure sale conducted by a Loan Pledgee.

 

Section 17.  Obligations Hereunder Not Affected.  (a) All rights, interests, agreements and obligations of Senior Lender and each Junior Lender under this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect irrespective of:

 

(b)           any lack of validity or enforceability of any of the Senior Loan Documents or any of the Junior Loan Documents or any other agreement or instrument relating thereto;

 

(c)           any taking, exchange, release or non-perfection of any other collateral, or any taking, release or amendment or waiver of or consent to or departure from any guaranty, for all or any portion of the Senior Loan or the Junior Loans;

 

(d)           any manner of application of collateral, or proceeds thereof, to all or any portion of the Senior Loan or the Junior Loans, or any manner of sale or other disposition of any collateral for all or

 

68



 

any portion of the Senior Loan or the Junior Loans or any other assets of Senior Borrower or Junior Borrowers or any other Affiliates of Senior Borrower or any Junior Borrower;

 

(e)           any change, restructuring or termination of the ownership structure or existence of Borrower, Junior Borrowers or any other Affiliates of Senior Borrower; or

 

(f)            any other circumstance which might otherwise constitute a defense available to, or a discharge of, Senior Borrower, any Junior Borrower or a subordinated creditor or Senior Lender or any Junior Lender subject to the terms hereof.

 

(g)           This Agreement shall continue to be effective or be reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time any payment of all or any portion of the Senior Loan or a Junior Loan is rescinded or must otherwise be returned by Senior Lender or a Junior Lender upon the insolvency, bankruptcy or reorganization of Senior Borrower or a Junior Borrower or otherwise, all as though such payment had not been made.

 

Section 18.  Notices.  All notices, consents, approvals and requests (any of the foregoing, a “Notice”) required or permitted hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall be given in writing and shall be effective for all purposes if (i) hand-delivered; (ii) sent by (A) certified or registered United States mail, postage prepaid, return receipt requested or (B) expedited prepaid delivery service, either commercial or United States Postal Service, with proof of attempted delivery, or (iii) sent by telecopier (with advice by telephone to recipient that a telecopy notice is forthcoming and a machine-generated confirmation of successful transmission), addressed as follows (or at such other address and Person as shall be designated from time to time by any party hereto, as the case may be, in a written notice to the other parties hereto in the manner provided for in this Section):

(e)           In the event of a casualty to the buildings or improvements constructed on any portion of the Premises or a condemnation or taking under a power of eminent domain of all or any portion of the Premises, the buildings or improvements thereon, Senior Lender shall have a first and prior interest in and to any payments, awards, proceeds, distributions, or consideration arising from any such event after deducting the costs of collection (the “Award”), provided that if the amount of the Award is in excess of the Adjusted Release Amount (as defined in the Senior Loan Agreement) due the Senior Lender under the Senior Loan Documents, such excess Award or portion to be so remitted shall be applied, to the extent permitted under the Senior Loan Documents, as follows:  (i) first, to the First Mezzanine Lender in the amount of the First Mezzanine Adjusted Release Amount (as defined in the Senior Loan Agreement) due the First Mezzanine Lender under the First Mezzanine Loan Documents, (ii) second, to the Second Mezzanine Lender in the amount of the Second Mezzanine Adjusted Release Amount (as defined in the Senior Loan Agreement) due the Second Mezzanine Lender under the Second Mezzanine Loan Documents, (iii) third, to the Third Mezzanine Lender in the amount of the Third Mezzanine Adjusted Release Amount (as defined in the Senior Loan Agreement) due the Third Mezzanine Lender under the Third Mezzanine Loan Documents, (iv) fourth, to the Fourth Mezzanine Lender in the amount of the Fourth Mezzanine Adjusted Release Amount (as defined in the Senior Loan Agreement) due the Fourth Mezzanine Lender under the Fourth Mezzanine Loan Documents, (v) fifth, to the Fifth Mezzanine Lender in the amount of the Fifth Mezzanine Adjusted Release Amount (as defined in the Senior Loan Agreement) due the Fifth Mezzanine Lender under the Fifth Mezzanine Loan Documents, (vi) sixth, to the Sixth Mezzanine Lender in the amount of the Sixth Mezzanine Adjusted Release Amount (as defined in the Senior Loan Agreement) due the Sixth Mezzanine Lender under the Sixth Mezzanine Loan Documents, (vii) seventh, to the Seventh Mezzanine Lender in the amount of the Seventh Mezzanine Adjusted Release Amount (as defined in the Senior Loan Agreement) due the Seventh Mezzanine Lender under the Seventh Mezzanine Loan Documents, and (viii) eighth, to Senior Borrower.  In the event of any competing claims, Senior Lender shall continue to hold such excess Award until Senior Lender receives an agreement signed by all parties making a claim to the excess Award or a final order of a court of competent jurisdiction directing Senior Lender as to how the excess Award is to be distributed.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event of a casualty or

 

56



 

condemnation, Senior Lender shall release the Awards in any such event to Senior Borrower if and to the extent required by the terms and conditions of the Senior Loan Documents in order to repair and restore the Premises or any portion thereof in accordance with the terms and provisions of the Senior Loan Documents.  Awards made available to Senior Borrower for the repair or restoration of the Premises or any portion thereof shall not be subject to attachment by any Junior Lender, but this sentence is not intended to otherwise affect any lien, if any, that a Junior Lender may have upon such proceeds.  Senior Lender shall use reasonable efforts to promptly (x) notify each Junior Lender of any requests by Senior Borrower for the release of any Award and (y) provide each Junior Lender with any documentation delivered by Senior Borrower to Senior Lender with respect to any such request by Senior Borrower for the release of any Award.

 

(f)            With respect to any insurance policies (collectively, the “Policies”) for the Premises for which a Junior Lender and/or its Affiliate are identified as “named insureds” or “additional insureds”, until such time as the Senior Loan has been paid in full, each Junior Lender acknowledges and agrees that no Junior Lender nor any of its Affiliates shall have any right whatsoever to (i) contest or challenge (in their capacity as named insureds) any such settlement or adjustment approved by Senior Lender, (ii) disapprove any settlement or adjustment of any claim or any distribution of proceeds under the Policies approved by Senior Lender, or (iii) be issued checks, drafts or wires (jointly or otherwise) representing proceeds of the Policies.  Nothing contained in this subparagraph (f) is meant to limit any rights that a Junior Lender has under its respective Junior Loan Documents to approve of any action taken by the applicable Junior Borrower.  Senior Lender shall, at a Junior Lender’s request, advise such Junior Lender from time to time as to the status of any settlement or adjustment of any claim or any distribution of proceeds under the Policies.

57



 

the administration of a Junior Loan and the related Junior Loan Documents and each Junior Lender agrees not to assert any such claim.

 

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

 

(d)           Bankruptcy.  (i) Subject to Section 31 of this Agreement, the provisions of this Agreement shall be applicable both before and after the commencement, whether voluntary or involuntary, of any case, proceeding or other action by or against Senior Borrower, any Junior Borrower or any SPE Constituent Entity under any existing or future law of any jurisdiction relating to bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or relief of debtors or any assignment by Borrower for the benefit of creditors (a “Proceeding”).

 

(i)            For as long as the Senior Loan shall remain outstanding, none of the Junior Lenders shall solicit, direct or cause Borrower or any other entity which Controls Senior Borrower (the “Borrower Group”) or any other Person to:  (1) commence any Proceeding against Senior Borrower or any SPE Constituent Entity; (2) institute proceedings to have Senior Borrower or any SPE Constituent Entity adjudicated a bankrupt or insolvent; (3) consent to, or acquiesce in, the institution of bankruptcy or insolvency proceedings against Senior Borrower or any SPE Constituent Entity; (4) file a petition or consent to the filing of a petition seeking reorganization, arrangement, adjustment, winding-up, dissolution, composition, liquidation or other relief by or on behalf of Senior Borrower or any SPE Constituent Entity; (5) seek or consent to the

(ii)           In the event that a Junior Lender is deemed to be a creditor of Senior Borrower in any Proceeding:  (1) each of the Junior Lenders hereby agrees that it shall not make any election, give any consent, commence any action or file any motion, claim, obligation, notice or application or take any other action in any Proceeding by or against Senior Borrower or any SPE Constituent Entity without the prior consent of Senior Lender, except to the extent necessary to preserve or realize upon such Junior Lender’s interest in any Separate Collateral pledged to such Junior Lender pursuant to the Junior Loan Documents related to the Junior Loan held by such Junior Lender; provided, however, that any such filing shall not be as a creditor of the Senior Borrower; (2) Senior Lender may vote in any such Proceeding any and all claims of such Junior Lender, and each of the Junior Lenders hereby appoints the Senior Lender as its agent, and grants to the Senior Lender an irrevocable power of attorney coupled with an interest, and its proxy, for the purpose of exercising any and all rights and taking any and all actions available to such Junior Lender in connection with any case by or against Senior Borrower or any SPE Constituent Entity in any Proceeding, including without limitation, the right to file and/or prosecute any claims, to vote to accept or reject a plan, to make any election under Section 1111(b) of the Bankruptcy Code, provided, however, that with respect to any proposed plan of reorganization in respect of which creditors are voting, Senior Lender may vote on behalf of such Junior Lender only if the proposed plan would result in Senior Lender being “impaired” (as such term is defined in the United States Bankruptcy Code); and (3) no Junior Lender shall challenge the validity or amount of any claim submitted in such Proceeding by Senior Lender in good faith or any valuations of the Premises, or any portion thereof, or other Senior Loan collateral submitted by Senior Lender in good faith, in such

 

59



 

Proceeding or take any other action in such Proceeding, which is adverse to Senior Lender’s enforcement of its claim or receipt of adequate protection (as that term is defined in the Bankruptcy Code); provided, however that no such valuations submitted in such Proceeding by Senior Lender shall be binding upon any Junior Lender in any Proceeding concerning any other Person, including, without limitation, any Junior Borrower, any member of the Junior Borrower Group, or any Affiliate thereof.  Prior to Securitization of the Senior Loan (or after a Securitization of the Senior Loan if Senior Lender owns all of the Certificates), Senior Lender shall not have the rights provided in this Section 11(d)(iii) if Senior Lender is an Affiliate of Senior Borrower.

 

(iii)          For as long as any applicable Senior Junior Loan with respect to a Junior Lender shall remain outstanding, such Junior Lender shall not, and shall not solicit any Person to, and shall not direct or cause the Junior Borrower under the Junior Loan held by such Junior Lender to direct or cause such Junior Borrower or any entity which Controls such Junior Borrower (as applicable, the “Junior Borrower Group”) to:  (1) commence any Proceeding against any applicable Senior Junior Borrower; (2) institute proceedings to have any applicable Senior Junior Borrower adjudicated a bankrupt or insolvent; (3) consent to, or acquiesce in, the institution of bankruptcy or insolvency proceedings against any applicable Senior Junior Borrower; (4) file a petition or consent to the filing of a petition seeking reorganization, arrangement, adjustment, winding-up, dissolution, composition, liquidation or other relief by or on behalf of any applicable Senior Junior Borrower; (5) seek or consent to the appointment of a receiver, liquidator, assignee, trustee, sequestrator, custodian or any similar official for any applicable Senior Junior Borrower, Separate Collateral for any applicable Senior Junior Loan (or any portion thereof) or any other collateral securing any applicable Senior Junior Loan (or any portion thereof); (6) make an assignment for the benefit of any creditor of any applicable Senior Junior Borrower; (7) seek to consolidate the Separate Collateral for any applicable Senior Junior Loan (or any portion thereof) or any other assets of any applicable Senior Junior Borrower with the assets of the Junior Borrower under the Junior Loan held by such Junior Lender or any member of the applicable Junior Borrower Group in any proceeding relating to bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or relief of debtors; (8) seek to consolidate any applicable Senior Junior Borrower with any Subordinate Junior Borrower or any member of Junior Borrower Group for a Subordinate Junior Borrower; or (9) take any action in furtherance of any of the foregoing.

 

(iv)          In the event that a Junior Lender is deemed to be a creditor of any applicable Senior Junior Borrower in any Proceeding:  (1) such Junior Lender hereby agrees that it shall not make any election, give any consent, commence any action or file any motion, claim, obligation, notice or application or take any other action in any Proceeding by or against any applicable Senior Junior Borrower without the prior consent of the applicable Senior Junior Lenders, except to the extent necessary to preserve or realize upon its interest in the Equity Collateral; provided, however, that any such filing shall not be as a creditor of any applicable Junior Borrower; (2) the applicable Senior Junior Lenders in their respective order of priority may vote in any such Proceeding any and all claims of such Junior Lender, and such Junior Lender hereby appoints the applicable Senior Junior Lenders in their respective order of

 

60

(v)           The terms and provisions of this Section 11(d) apply to each Junior Lender solely in its capacity as a Junior Lender.

 

Section 12.             Rights of Cure.

 

(a)           Senior Loan Default.  Prior to Senior Lender commencing any Enforcement Action under the Senior Loan Documents, Senior Lender shall provide written notice of such default to each Junior Lender and any Loan Pledgee entitled to notice thereof pursuant to Section 16 of this Agreement, whether or not Senior Lender is obligated to give notice thereof to Senior Borrower (each, a “Senior Loan Default Notice”).  In the event Senior Lender has delivered a Senior Loan Default Notice pursuant to Sections 12(a)(i) or (ii) below which has not been cured by a Junior Lender, Senior Lender shall provide the Junior Lenders with copies of any and all material notices relating to such Event of Default, pleadings, agreements, motions and briefs served upon, delivered to or with any party to any Enforcement Action and otherwise keep the Junior Lenders reasonably apprised as to the current status of any Enforcement Action.  Prior to or concurrently with undertaking any curative action with respect to the Senior Loan, a Junior Lender shall provide the other Junior Lenders with written notice thereof.  Senior Lender shall permit the Junior Lenders an opportunity to cure such default in accordance with the following terms:

 

61



 

(i)            Monetary Default.  If the default identified in the Senior Loan Default Notice is a monetary default relating to (1) any scheduled payment of principal or interest, or (2) the payment of any other liquidated sum of money, Junior Lenders shall have until ten (10) Business Days after the later of (a) the receipt (or deemed receipt) of the Senior Loan Default Notice or (b) expiration of the Senior Borrower’s cure period, if any, to cure such monetary default (a “Monetary Cure Period”); provided, however, that in the event a Junior Lender elects to cure such monetary default, such Junior Lender hereby agrees (x) to indemnify, defend and hold harmless Senior Lender for all cost, expenses, losses, liabilities, obligations, damages, penalties, and disbursements arising under any pooling and servicing agreement applicable to the Senior Loan to the extent imposed on, incurred by or asserted against Senior Lender due to or arising from such Monetary Cure Period, (y) without duplication of the foregoing, to reimburse Senior Lender for any interest charged by Senior Lender or the servicer on any advances for monthly payments of principal and/or interest on the Senior Loan and/or on any Protective Advances during the Monetary Cure Period arising under the applicable pooling and servicing agreement, and (z) if the monetary default is not cured within the Monetary Cure Period but is thereafter cured by a Junior Lender, to pay Senior Lender the excess of interest accruing at the Default Rate (without duplication) over interest accruing at the Interest Rate under the Senior Loan for the number of days beyond the expiration of such Monetary Cure Period that the default to which such Monetary Cure Period related continued uncured, less any amounts paid by such Junior Lender under (y) above.  A Junior Lender shall not be required, in order to effect a cure hereunder during the Monetary Cure Period, to pay any late charges or (other than the cure by a Junior Lender of a default in the payment of the Senior Loan in full on the maturity date thereof) any interest at the Default Rate under the Senior Loan Documents (irrespective of any cure of such default by a Junior Lender pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement), and no late charges or interest at the Default Rate shall accrue against such Junior Lender for such period.  There shall be no right to cure as hereinabove set forth with respect to monthly scheduled interest and principal payments for a period of more than six (6) consecutive months (regardless of which Junior Lender has cured such monetary default) unless such Junior Lender seeking to cure beyond such six (6) month period has commenced and is continuing to diligently pursue its rights against such Junior Lender’s Equity Collateral, in which case such Junior Lender shall be entitled to continue curing such monetary defaults involving monthly scheduled interest and principal payments until the occurrence of any voluntary or involuntary Proceeding involving Senior Borrower (such additional monetary cure period, an “Extended Monetary Cure Period”).  In the event more than one Junior Lender cures any monetary default in accordance with the terms of this Section, Senior Lender hereby agrees (x) to accept the cure from the junior most Junior Lender and (y) to return to any Senior Junior Lender(s) within three (3) Business Days of accepting such cure from the junior most Junior Lender any funds tendered by the Senior Junior Lender(s).  The cure period for a Junior Lender with respect to a monetary default shall run concurrently with the cure period for the other Junior Lenders with respect to such monetary default and in no event sequentially.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, if one Junior Lender has satisfied the conditions for an Extended Monetary Cure Period with respect to defaults involving monthly scheduled

 

62



 

interest and principal payments as set forth above and thereafter ceases to qualify for such Extended Monetary Cure Period (either by failing to make cure payments or failing to diligently pursue its rights against its Equity Collateral) then (A) such Junior Lender’s cure rights with respect to all monetary defaults shall immediately terminate (unless Borrower shall have cured all defaults and reinstated the Senior Loan in good standing) and (B) notwithstanding any of the other Junior Lender’s earlier election not to cure the defaults involving monthly scheduled interest and principal payments, such other Junior Lenders shall be entitled to succeed to all rights under the existing Extended Monetary Cure Period, upon written notice to the Senior Lender, so long as such other Junior Lender promptly commences and thereafter diligently pursues its rights against its Equity Collateral, makes all cure payments and otherwise satisfies the provisions of this Section 12.  If the default referenced in a Senior Loan Default Notice has been cured such that there is no longer an Event of Default under the Senior Loan Documents, the Junior Lenders shall have the same Monetary Cure Period with respect to any future Senior Loan Default Notice.

 

(ii)           Non-Monetary Default.  If the default is of a non-monetary nature (for so long as such non-monetary default is not caused by a Proceeding of Senior Borrower or during such Non-Monetary Cure Period (as defined herein) a Proceeding of Senior Borrower does not occur), each Junior Lender shall have until the later of (a) ten (10) Business Days from the receipt (or deemed receipt) of the Senior Loan Default Notice and (b) the expiration of the Senior Borrower’s cure period to cure such non-monetary default (a “Non-Monetary Cure Period”); provided, however, if such non-monetary default cannot reasonably be cured within such period or if no cure period is provided and, if applicable, curative action was commenced by such Junior Lender within the Non-Monetary Cure Period and, if there is a cure period, is being diligently pursued by a Junior Lender (or with respect to a non-monetary default that is not susceptible of cure, if a Junior Lender shall be diligently pursuing the foreclosure of its Equity Collateral and such non-monetary default does not materially impair the value, use or operation of the Premises, all as determined in the reasonable judgment of Senior Lender), then such Junior Lender only shall be given an additional period of time as is reasonably necessary for such Junior Lender in the exercise of due diligence to cure such non-monetary default (or, in the case of any such non-monetary default as described above that is not susceptible of cure, then such Junior Lender shall be given an additional period of time as is reasonably necessary for such Junior Lender in the exercise of due diligence to complete such foreclosure), for so long as (1) such Junior Lender diligently and expeditiously proceeds to cure such non-monetary default (or with respect to a non-monetary default that is not susceptible of cure, if such Junior Lender shall be diligently pursuing the foreclosure of its Equity Collateral and such non-monetary default does not materially impair the value, use or operation of the Premises, all as determined in the reasonable judgment of Senior Lender), (2) timely payment of Senior Lender’s regularly scheduled monthly interest and amortization payments under the Senior Loan and any other amounts due under the Senior Loan Documents is made, (3) such additional period of time does not exceed sixty (60) days, unless such non-monetary default is of a nature that cannot be cured within such sixty (60) days without ownership of such Junior Lender’s Equity Collateral or is not susceptible to cure, in which case such Junior Lender shall have such additional time as

 

63



 

is reasonably necessary to gain ownership of its Equity Collateral, provided that such Junior Lender is continuously and diligently pursuing the ownership of its Equity Collateral and such non-monetary default does not materially impair the value, use or operation of the Premises, all as determined in the reasonable judgment of Senior Lender, (4) such non-monetary default is not caused by a Proceeding of Senior Borrower or during such Non-Monetary Cure Period a Proceeding of Senior Borrower does not occur, and (5) during such Non-Monetary Cure Period, with respect to such non-monetary default (and any additional period of time provided for above), there is no further material adverse effect on Senior Borrower, the Senior Loan or the value, use or operation of the Premises taken as a whole, all as determined in the reasonable judgment of Senior Lender (such additional Non-Monetary Cure Period, an “Extended Non-Monetary Cure Period”).  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, in no event shall any Extended Non-Monetary Cure Period extend beyond the date that is five (5) years prior to the Rated Final Distribution Date.  If a Junior Lender is exercising its cure right, it shall consult with the applicable Senior Junior Lenders and keep such Senior Junior Lenders informed as to its progress.  The Non-Monetary Cure Period and any additional cure period granted hereunder to a Junior Lender electing to cure a non-monetary default of Senior Borrower (including, with respect to a non-monetary default that is not susceptible of cure, any additional time as is reasonably necessary for a Junior Lender to foreclose on its Equity Collateral) shall automatically terminate upon the commencement of a Proceeding involving the Senior Borrower, unless the Proceeding is dismissed in which case the right will be deemed reinstated from and after such dismissal to the extent the other conditions of this Section 12(a) are satisfied.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, if a Junior Lender abandons its cure efforts during a Non-Monetary Cure Period or Extended Non-Monetary Cure Period or fails to satisfy any of the conditions set forth in clauses (1), (2), (3), (4) and (5) above during a Non-Monetary Cure Period, then (A) such Junior Lender’s cure rights with respect to the applicable non-monetary default (but not any other non-monetary default) shall immediately terminate and (B) notwithstanding any other Junior Lenders’ earlier election not to cure the applicable non-monetary default, such other Junior Lenders shall be entitled to succeed to all rights under the existing Non-Monetary Cure Period, upon written notice to the Senior Lender, so long as any such other Junior Lender promptly commences and thereafter diligently pursues its rights against its Separate Collateral and the conditions set forth in clauses (1), (2), (3), (4) and (5) above are satisfied.

 

(iii)          To the extent that any Junior Lender or any Qualified Transferee, in accordance with the provisions and conditions of this Agreement, acquires the ownership interests in Senior Borrower or any Senior Junior Borrower, as applicable, pursuant to a Separate Collateral Enforcement Action, such Junior Lender or such Qualified Transferee shall acquire the same subject to the Senior Loan and the terms, conditions and provisions of the Senior Loan Documents for the balance of the term thereof (including any extension rights as provided therein), which shall not be accelerated by Senior Lender solely due to such acquisition and shall remain in full force and effect, provided, that (i) such Junior Lender or Qualified Transferee shall have caused Senior Borrower and any new Third-Party Obligor to reaffirm their respective obligations under the Senior Loan Documents in writing (subject to such

 

64



 

exculpatory provisions as are set forth therein), and thereafter to perform, all of the terms, conditions and provisions of the Senior Loan Documents on Senior Borrower’s part to be performed and (ii) all defaults under the Senior Loan which remain uncured as of the date of such acquisition have been cured by such Qualified Transferee or waived by Senior Lender except for defaults that are not susceptible of being cured by such Qualified Transferee; provided, that such defaults which are not susceptible of being cured do not materially impair the value, use or operation of the Premises taken as a whole, all as determined in the reasonable judgment of Senior Lender.  Notwithstanding any contrary or inconsistent provision of this Agreement, the Senior Loan Documents or the Junior Loan Documents, no acquisition or other fee or similar charge shall be due in connection with such Junior Lender’s or such other Qualified Transferee’s acquisition of any interest in Senior Borrower, any Junior Borrower or the Premises as the result of an Equity Collateral Enforcement Action or assignment in lieu of foreclosure or other negotiated settlement in lieu of any of the foregoing.  In addition, to the extent that a Junior Lender or any Qualified Transferee, in accordance with the provisions and conditions of this Agreement, acquires the ownership interests in such Senior Borrower, pursuant to an Enforcement Action or otherwise during the sixty (60) days prior to the maturity date (or any extended maturity date, as applicable) of the Senior Loan, such Junior Lender, or such Qualified Transferee shall only be required to deliver a notice of extension of the term of such Senior Loan five (5) Business Days prior to the maturity date notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Senior Loan Agreement.

 

(b)           Junior Loan Default.  Prior to accelerating a Junior Loan or commencing any Equity Collateral Enforcement Action by reason of an Event of Default under the applicable Junior Loan Documents, the Junior Lender holding the Junior Loan that is subject to an Event of Default shall provide written notice of the default which would permit such Junior Lender to accelerate the applicable Junior Loan or commence an Equity Collateral Enforcement Action to the applicable Subordinate Junior Lenders and any Loan Pledgees entitled to notice thereof pursuant to Section 16 of this Agreement, whether or not such Junior Lender is obligated to give notice thereof to the Junior Borrower under such Junior Loan (each, a “Junior Loan Default Notice”).  Except in connection with such Junior Borrower’s failure to repay such Junior Loan in full on the maturity date thereof, the Junior Lender holding the Junior Loan that is subject to an Event of Default shall permit the applicable Subordinate Junior Lenders an opportunity to cure such default in accordance with the provisions of this Section 12.  In the event a Junior Borrower fails to repay a Junior Loan in full on the maturity date thereof, each of the Subordinate Junior Lenders with respect to such Junior Loan shall have the right to purchase such Junior Loan pursuant to the terms, and subject to the conditions, provided in Section 14(b).  Prior to or concurrently with undertaking any curative action with respect to a Junior Loan, a Junior Lender shall provide the other Junior Lenders with written notice thereof.  Each Junior Lender shall keep the applicable Subordinate Junior Lenders reasonably apprised as to the status of any Equity Collateral Enforcement Action.

 

(i)            Junior Loan Monetary Default.  If the default identified in the Junior Loan Default Notice is a monetary default relating to (1) any scheduled payment of principal or interest or (2) the payment of any other liquidated sum of money, the Subordinate Junior Lenders shall have until ten (10) Business Days after the later of (a)

the receipt (or deemed receipt) by the applicable Subordinate Junior Lenders of the Junior Loan Default or (b) expiration of the applicable Senior Junior Borrower’s Notice to cure such monetary default (each such cure period, a “Junior Loan Monetary Cure Period”); provided, however, that in the event a Subordinate Junior Lender elects to cure such monetary default, such Subordinate Junior Lender hereby agrees (x) to indemnify, defend and hold harmless the applicable Senior Junior Lender for all cost, expenses, losses, liabilities, obligations, damages, penalties, and disbursements arising under any servicing agreement applicable to the Senior Junior Loan to the extent imposed on, incurred by or asserted against Senior Junior Lender due to or arising from such Junior Loan Monetary Cure Period, (y) without duplication, to reimburse the applicable Senior Junior Lender for any interest charged by the applicable Senior Junior Lender or the servicer on any advances for monthly payments of principal and/or interest on the applicable Senior Junior Loan and/or on any Protective Advances during the Junior Loan Monetary Cure Period, and (z) if the monetary default is not cured within the Junior Loan Monetary Cure Period but is thereafter cured by a Subordinate Junior Lender, to pay the applicable Senior Junior Lender the excess of interest accruing at the Default Rate (without duplication) over interest accruing at the Interest Rate under the applicable Senior Junior Loan for the number of days beyond the expiration of such Junior Loan Monetary Cure Period that the default to which such Junior Loan Monetary Cure Period related continued uncured, less any amounts paid by such Subordinate Junior Lender under (y) above.  A Subordinate Junior Lender shall not be required, in order to effect a cure hereunder during the Junior Loan Monetary Cure Period, to pay any late charges or (other than the cure by a Subordinate Junior Lender of a default in the payment of the applicable Senior Junior Loan in full on the maturity date thereof) any interest at the Default Rate under the applicable Senior Junior Loan Documents (irrespective of any cure of such default by a Subordinate Junior Lender pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement), and no late charges or interest at the Default Rate shall accrue against such Subordinate Junior Lender for such period.  There shall be no right to cure as hereinabove set forth with respect to monthly scheduled interest and principal payments for a period of more than six (6) consecutive months (regardless of which Subordinate Junior Lender has cured such monetary default) unless such Subordinate Junior Lender seeking to cure beyond such six (6) month period has commenced and is continuing to diligently pursue its rights against such Subordinate Junior Lender’s Equity Collateral, in which case such Subordinate Junior Lender shall be entitled to continue curing such monetary defaults involving monthly scheduled interest and principal payments until the occurrence of any voluntary or involuntary Proceeding involving the applicable Junior Borrower (such additional monetary cure period, a “Junior Loan Extended Monetary Cure Period”).  In the event more than one Subordinate Junior Lender cures any monetary default in accordance with the terms of this Section, the applicable Senior Junior Lender hereby agrees (x) to accept the cure from the junior most Subordinate Junior Lender and (y) to return to any Senior Subordinate Junior Lender(s) within three (3) Business Days of accepting such cure from the junior most Subordinate Junior Lender any funds tendered by the Senior Subordinate Junior Lender(s).  The cure period for a Subordinate Junior Lender with respect to a monetary default shall run concurrently with the cure period for the other Subordinate Junior Lenders with respect to such

 

66



 

monetary default and in no event sequentially.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, if a Subordinate Junior Lender elects to pursue such cure of defaults involving monthly scheduled debt service payments as set forth above and thereafter either fails to make the required cure payments or fails to diligently pursue its rights against such Subordinate Junior Lender’s Equity Collateral, then notwithstanding the earlier election of the remaining Subordinate Junior Lenders not to cure the defaults involving monthly scheduled debt service payments, such other Subordinate Junior Lenders shall be entitled to succeed to all such cure rights, upon written notice to the Senior Junior Lender that is the holder of the Senior Junior Loan that is subject to the Event of Default, so long as such remaining Subordinate Junior Lender promptly commences and thereafter diligently pursues its rights against its Equity Collateral and otherwise satisfies the provisions of this Section 12(b)(i).  If the default referenced in a Junior Loan Default Notice has been cured such that there is no longer an Event of Default under the applicable Junior Loan Documents, the applicable Subordinate Junior Lenders shall have the same Junior Loan Monetary Cure Period with respect to any future Junior Loan Default Notice.  In the event that the Senior Loan and one or more Senior Junior Loans are concurrently in default, a Subordinate Junior Lender shall have no right to exercise its cure rights with respect to the Senior Loan under Section 12(a)(i) or (ii) or the Senior Junior Loan(s) under this Section 12(b)(i) or Section 12(b)(ii) below unless such Subordinate Junior Lender is simultaneously exercising its cure rights with respect to the Senior Loan under Sections 12(a)(i) and/or (ii) (to the extent that such Subordinate Junior Lender is permitted to exercise such cure rights under Sections 12(a)(i) and/or (ii)) and with respect to each such Senior Junior Loan(s) under this Section 12(b)(i) above or Section 12(b)(ii) below (to the extent that such Subordinate Junior Lender is permitted to exercise such cure rights under Sections 12(b)(i) and/or (ii)).

 

(ii)           Junior Loan Non-Monetary Default.  If the default identified in the Junior Loan Default Notice is of a non-monetary nature, (aa) the applicable Subordinate Junior Lender having the lowest priority shall have fifteen (15) Business Days from the later of (A) the receipt by it of a Junior Loan Default Notice and (B) the expiration of the applicable Senior Junior Borrower’s cure period for such non-monetary default provided in the applicable Senior Junior Loan Documents, to cure such non-monetary default (such period, the “Initial Junior Loan Non-Monetary Cure Period”); and (bb) if the applicable Subordinate Junior Lender having the lowest priority elects not to cure such non-monetary default prior to the expiration of the Initial Junior Loan Non-Monetary Cure Period, the other remaining Subordinate Junior Lenders shall have the right to cure such non-monetary default within five (5) additional Business Days after such Subordinate Junior Lender receives notice that the next most junior Subordinate Junior Lender failed to cure such non-monetary default (the Initial Junior Loan Non-Monetary Cure Period or such additional cure period, as applicable, the “Junior Loan Non-Monetary Cure Period”); provided, that (1) except as provided in the immediately following clause (2), in no event shall the Junior Loan Non-Monetary Cure Period extend beyond the date that is the later of (A) five (5) Business Days after the Subordinate Junior Lender with the highest priority with respect to the Senior Junior Loan that is subject to a default has received notice that the Subordinate Junior Lender with the next lower priority has failed to cure such default and (B) twenty-five (25)

 

67



 

Business Days after the expiration of Senior Junior Borrower’s cure period, if any, for such non-monetary default provided in the Senior Junior Loan Documents, to cure such non-monetary default; and (2) if such non-monetary default is susceptible of cure but cannot reasonably be cured within the applicable Junior Loan Non-Monetary Cure Period and curative action was promptly commenced and is being diligently pursued by a Subordinate Junior Lender (or with respect to a non-monetary default that is not susceptible of cure, if a Subordinate Junior Lender shall be diligently pursuing the foreclosure of its Equity Collateral and such non-monetary default does not materially impair the value, use or operation of the applicable Senior Junior Lender’s Equity Collateral as reasonably determined by such Senior Junior Lender), such Subordinate Junior Lender shall be given an additional period of time as is reasonably necessary for such Subordinate Junior Lender in the exercise of due diligence to cure such non-monetary default (or, in the case of a non-monetary default as described above that is not susceptible of cure, then such Subordinate Junior Lender shall be given an additional period of time as is reasonably necessary for such Subordinate Junior Lender in the exercise of due diligence to complete the foreclosure of its Equity Collateral) for so long as (A) such Subordinate Junior Lender makes or causes to be made timely payment of the applicable Senior Junior Borrower’s regularly scheduled monthly principal and/or interest payments under the applicable Senior Junior Loan and any other amounts due under the applicable Senior Junior Loan Documents, (B) such additional period of time does not exceed forty-five (45) days, unless such non-monetary default is of a nature that cannot be cured within such forty-five (45) days, in which case, such Subordinate Junior Lender shall have such additional time as is reasonably necessary to cure such non-monetary default, provided that such Subordinate Junior Lender is continuously and diligently pursuing a cure of such non-monetary default (or, with respect to a non-monetary default that is not susceptible of cure, such Subordinate Junior Lender shall have such additional time as is reasonably necessary to gain ownership of its Equity Collateral, provided that such Subordinate Junior Lender is continuously and diligently pursuing the ownership of its Equity Collateral and such non-monetary default does not materially impair the value, use or operation of the applicable Senior Junior Lender’s Equity Collateral as reasonably determined by such Senior Junior Lender), (C) such default is not caused by a Proceeding of the applicable Senior Junior Borrower, and (D) during such Junior Loan Non-Monetary Cure Period (and any additional period of time provided for above), there is no material impairment to the value, use or operation of the applicable Senior Junior Lender’s Equity Collateral as reasonably determined by such Senior Junior Lender (such additional Junior Loan Non-Monetary Cure Period, an “Junior Loan Extended Non-Monetary Cure Period”).  If a Subordinate Junior Lender has commenced exercising any such cure right during a Junior Loan Non-Monetary Cure Period and elects not to proceed with such cure, such Junior Lender shall promptly notify the remaining Subordinate Junior Lenders, and each remaining Subordinate Junior Lender shall be deemed in compliance with the terms hereof if it commences curing such event within five (5) Business Days following receipt of written notice of such election not to proceed with such cure by the Junior Lender that precedes it in priority of cure right pursuant to this Section 12(b)(ii) and otherwise complies with the provision of the immediately preceding sentence.  The Junior Loan Non-Monetary Cure

Period and any additional cure period granted hereunder to a Subordinate Junior Lender electing to cure the non-monetary default (including, with respect to a non-monetary default that is not susceptible of cure, any additional time as is reasonably necessary for a Subordinate Junior Lender to foreclose on its Equity Collateral) shall automatically terminate upon the bankruptcy (or similar insolvency) of Senior Borrower or any applicable Senior Junior Borrower.  In the event that the Senior Loan and one or more Senior Junior Loans are concurrently in default, a Subordinate Junior Lender shall have no right to exercise its cure rights with respect to the Senior Loan under Section 12(a) or the Senior Junior Loan(s) under Section 12(b)(i) above or this Section 12(b)(ii) unless such Subordinate Junior Lender is simultaneously exercising its cure rights with respect to the Senior Loan under Sections 12(a)(i) and/or (ii) (to the extent that such Subordinate Junior Lender is permitted to exercise such cure rights under Sections 12(a)(i) and/or (ii)) and with respect to each such Senior Junior Loan(s) under Section 12(b)(i) above or this Section 12(b)(ii) (to the extent that such Subordinate Junior Lender is permitted to exercise such cure rights under Sections 12(b)(i) and/or (ii)).  The Junior Loan Non-Monetary Cure Period and any additional cure period granted hereunder to any Subordinate Junior Lender electing to cure a non-monetary default of any applicable Senior Junior Borrower (including, with respect to a non-monetary default that is not susceptible of cure, any additional time as is reasonably necessary for a Subordinate Junior Lender to foreclose on its Equity Collateral) shall automatically terminate upon the bankruptcy (or similar insolvency) of such applicable Senior Junior Borrower.

 

(c)           Cash Management.  So long as the South Carolina Management Agreements are in place and so long as no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing under the Senior Loan Documents, subject to the cure rights of the Junior Lenders hereunder, all funds held and applied pursuant to the Senior Loan Cash Management Agreement and Senior Loan Agreement, shall continue to be applied in the manner required thereunder prior to the occurrence of an Event of Default under the Senior Loan.  So long as no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing under the First Mezzanine Loan Documents, subject to the cure rights of the Junior Lenders hereunder, all funds held and applied pursuant to the First Mezzanine Cash Management Agreement and First Mezzanine Loan Agreement, shall continue to be applied pursuant thereto in the manner required thereunder prior to the occurrence of an Event of Default under the First Mezzanine Loan Documents.  So long as no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing under the Second Mezzanine Loan Documents, subject to the cure rights of the Junior Lenders hereunder, all funds held and applied pursuant to the Second Mezzanine Cash Management Agreement and Second Mezzanine Loan Agreement, shall continue to be applied in the manner required thereunder prior to the occurrence of an Event of Default under the Second Mezzanine Loan Documents.  So long as no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing under the Third Mezzanine Loan Documents, subject to the cure rights of the Junior Lenders hereunder, all funds held and applied pursuant to the Third Mezzanine Cash Management Agreement and Third Mezzanine Loan Agreement, shall continue to be applied in the manner required thereunder prior to the occurrence of an Event of Default under the Third Mezzanine Loan Documents.  So long as no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing under the Fourth Mezzanine Loan Documents, subject to the cure rights of the Junior Lenders hereunder, all funds held and applied pursuant to the Fourth Mezzanine Cash Management

Agreement and Fourth Mezzanine Loan Agreement, shall continue to be applied in the manner required thereunder prior to the occurrence of an Event of Default under the Fourth Mezzanine Loan Documents.  So long as no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing under the Fifth Mezzanine Loan Documents, subject to the cure rights of the Junior Lenders hereunder, all funds held and applied pursuant to the Fifth Mezzanine Cash Management Agreement and Fifth Mezzanine Loan Agreement, shall continue to be applied in the manner required thereunder prior to the occurrence of an Event of Default under the Fifth Mezzanine Loan Documents.  So long as no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing under the Sixth Mezzanine Loan Documents, subject to the cure rights of the Junior Lenders hereunder, all funds held and applied pursuant to the Sixth Mezzanine Cash Management Agreement and Sixth Mezzanine Loan Agreement, shall continue to be applied in the manner required thereunder prior to the occurrence of an Event of Default under the Sixth Mezzanine Loan Documents.

 

Section 13.             Replacement of Manager.

 

Senior Lender and each Junior Lender hereby consents to each Junior Lenders’ right, under the circumstances set forth in the applicable Junior Loan Documents, to cause the termination of any manager of the Premises, and the exercise of such right (and any manager replacement right exercised pursuant to the terms of this Section 13 below) shall not (in and of itself) permit the Senior Lender and the other Junior Lenders to declare an Event of Default as defined in the Senior Loan Documents or the applicable Junior Loan Documents or take any Enforcement Action or Equity Collateral Enforcement Action.  In the event Senior Lender and one or more Junior Lenders shall have the right to so terminate any manager of the Premises, and Senior Lender shall fail to exercise such rights within ten (10) Business days, the most junior Junior Lender may exercise such rights without the consent of the Senior Lender; provided such exercise by the most Junior Lender may be superseded by any subsequent exercise of such rights by Senior Lender in accordance to the Senior Loan Documents.  If Senor Lender does not exercise its superior termination rights, the most junior Junior Lender, having terminated the property manager of the Premises pursuant to the most junior Junior Loan Documents, shall have the right to select, or cause the selection, of a replacement property manager, asset manager or leasing agent, as applicable, for the Premises, which replacement manager, asset manager and/or leasing agent for the Premises, shall be subject to Senior Lender’s reasonable approval and the applicable terms and provisions of the Senior Loan Documents, and, if any Certificates are then outstanding, be subject to a Rating Agency Confirmation, and shall be a Qualified Manager.  Notwithstanding anything in this Section 13 to the contrary, if an Event of Default under the Senior Loan then is continuing, Senior Lender shall have the sole right to select any replacement manager, asset manager and/or leasing agent, as applicable, which is a Qualified Manager and, if any Certificates are then outstanding, is subject to a Rating Agency Confirmation, whether or not a new manager or agent was retained by the most junior Junior Lender; provided, Senior Lender agrees to consult with the Junior Lenders prior to making any such election; and provided, further, that without the consent of each of the Junior Lenders which is not an Affiliate of the Senior Borrower, the Senior Lender shall not engage a replacement manager that is an Affiliate of the Senior Borrower.

Section 14.             Right to Purchase Senior Loan and the Senior Junior Loans.  (a)  At any time after (i) the occurrence and during the continuance of a monetary Event of Default under the Senior Loan or non-monetary Event of Default under the Senior Loan which is subject to an Enforcement Action or (ii) if the Senior Loan is a “specially serviced mortgage loan” under the applicable trust and servicing agreement or pooling and servicing agreement related thereto as a result of a monetary Event of Default or material non-monetary Event of Default occurring under the Senior Loan (each of the foregoing, a “Purchase Option Event”), upon ten (10) Business Days’ prior written notice to Senior Lender (the “Purchase Notice”), a Junior Lender (and, if permitted by the applicable participation agreement, a Junior Lenders’ participant) shall have the right to purchase, in whole, but not in part, the Senior Loan for a price equal to the sum of (without duplication) the outstanding principal balance of the Senior Loan, together with all accrued interest and other amounts due thereon (excluding prepayment fees or premiums that would be due if Senior Borrower were prepaying the Senior Loan at the time of such purchase in violation of the prohibition against voluntary prepayment, exit fees, yield maintenance premiums, spread maintenance premiums, default interest and late charges, but including, without limitation, post-petition interest, any unreimbursed Protective Advances made by Senior Lender or any servicer and any interest charged by Senior Lender or any servicer on any advances for monthly payments of principal and/or interest on the Senior Loan and/or on any Protective Advances), and including all costs and expenses (including reasonable legal fees and expenses) actually incurred by Senior Lender in enforcing the terms of the Senior Loan Documents, and any fees and expenses payable or reimbursable to any servicer, trustee or fiscal agent; provided that any such fees and expenses are not duplicative of any other fees and expenses otherwise payable by a Junior Lender to Senior Lender under this Section 14, including, without limitation, special servicing to any special servicer under the applicable pooling and servicing agreement, interest on advances made by any of them (but excluding any workout or liquidation fees if the Senior Loan is purchased within ninety (90) days of the Purchase Option Event) whether or not any such entity may be deemed to be Senior Lender (collectively, the “Senior Loan Purchase Price”).  In the event that any Junior Lender elects to purchase the Senior Loan pursuant to this Section 14(a), the Subordinate Junior Lender with the lowest priority with respect to the other Junior Lenders that have elected to purchase the Senior Loan shall have the exclusive right to so purchase the Senior Loan, provided that such Subordinate Junior Lender shall also be required to concurrently purchase each of the applicable Senior Junior Loans from the Senior Junior Lenders holding such applicable Senior Junior Loans (regardless of whether such Senior Junior Lenders were among the Junior Lenders which had elected to purchase the Senior Loan).  Such purchase of each of the Senior Junior Loans shall be for a price equal to the sum of (without duplication) the outstanding principal balance of the Senior Junior Loan, together with all accrued interest and other amounts due thereon (including, without limitation, advances made by Senior Junior Lender or any servicer and post-petition interest), any unreimbursed Protective Advances made by such Senior Junior Lender or any servicer), including all costs and expenses (including reasonable legal fees and expenses) actually incurred by such Senior Junior Lender in enforcing the terms of the applicable Senior Junior Loan Documents, any fees and expenses payable or reimbursable to any servicer (provided that any such fees and expenses are not duplicative of any default interest, late charges or other fees and expenses otherwise payable by a Subordinate Junior Lender to such Senior Junior Lender under this Section 14); excluding any workout or liquidation fees, prepayment fees or premiums that would be due if the

 

71



 

applicable Senior Junior Borrower were prepaying the applicable Senior Junior Loan at the time of such purchase in violation of the prohibition against voluntary prepayment, exit fees, yield maintenance premiums, spread maintenance premiums, late charges and default interest (such price as to each such Senior Junior Loan, the “Senior Junior Loan Purchase Price”).  A Subordinate Junior Lender may not close the purchase of the Senior Loan without concurrently closing the purchase of the applicable Senior Junior Loans in accordance with the terms of this paragraph.  Prior to electing to purchase the Senior Loan and/or any Senior Junior Loan, a Subordinate Junior Lender shall have the right to obtain from Senior Lender and each Senior Junior Lender a good faith estimate of the Senior Loan Purchase Price and Senior Junior Loan Purchase Price, respectively.  If any Subordinate Junior Lender which has elected to purchase the Senior Loan fails to complete such purchase within ten (10) Business Days after delivery of a Purchase Notice or fails to concurrently purchase the applicable Senior Junior Loans as required hereunder, then such Purchase Notice shall be deemed invalid, such defaulting Subordinate Junior Lender shall cease to have any right to purchase the Senior Loan (and any applicable Senior Junior Loan) in connection with the applicable Purchase Option Event and the remaining Junior Lenders shall thereafter be entitled to exercise their purchase rights under, and in accordance with, this Section 14(a).  Senior Lender shall close the sale of the Senior Loan to the applicable Junior Lender on the date set forth in the Senior Purchase Notice subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement.  Each Junior Lender agrees that the sale of the Senior Loan shall, if the Senior Loan is included in a Securitization at such time, comply with the requirements of the pooling and servicing agreement pursuant to which the Certificates were issued and that all attorney’s fees related to the preparation and delivery of the assignment of the Senior Loan shall be paid by the applicable Junior Lender.  Concurrently with payment to Senior Lender of the Senior Loan Purchase Price, Senior Lender shall deliver or cause to be delivered to the Junior Lender exercising the purchase right hereunder all Senior Loan Documents held by or on behalf of Senior Lender and will execute in favor of the Junior Lender or its designee exercising the purchase right hereunder, assignment documentation, in form and substance reasonably acceptable to Senior Lender and such Junior Lender, at the sole cost and expense of such Junior Lender to assign the Senior Loan and its rights under the Senior Loan Documents (without recourse, representations or warranties, except for representations as to the outstanding balance of the Senior Loan, the power and authority of the Senior Lender to transfer the Senior Loan and as to Senior Lender’s ownership and not having previously assigned, transferred, participated or encumbered its rights in the Senior Loan unless such participation or encumbrance will be released prior to the transfer).  Concurrently with payment to each of Senior Junior Lenders of the applicable Senior Junior Loan Purchase Price for the Senior Junior Loan held by each such Senior Junior Lender, each applicable Senior Junior Lender shall deliver or cause to be delivered to the Subordinate Junior Lender exercising the purchase right hereunder all Senior Junior Loan Documents held by or on behalf of such Senior Junior Lender and will execute in favor of such Subordinate Junior Lender or its designee assignment documentation, in form and substance reasonably acceptable to such Subordinate Junior Lender, at the sole cost and expense of such Subordinate Junior Lender, to assign such Senior Junior Lender’s Senior Junior Loan and its rights under the related Senior Junior Loan Documents (without recourse, representations or warranties, except for representations as to the outstanding balance of such Senior Junior Loan, the power and authority of the Senior Junior Lender to transfer the Senior Junior Loan and as to such Senior Junior Lender’s ownership and not having previously assigned, transferred, participated or

 

72



 

encumbered its rights in such Senior Junior Loan unless such participation or encumbrance will be released prior to the transfer).  Following the occurrence of a Purchase Option Event, each Junior Lender shall keep the other Junior Lenders informed as to such Junior Lender’s intention to exercise any of its respective rights in connection with the Purchase Option Event.

 

(b)           The right of each Junior Lender to purchase the Senior Loan shall automatically terminate (i) ten (10) Business Days after receipt of notice that a more senior Senior Junior Lender has elected to exercise the right to purchase the Senior Loan (unless the more junior Junior Lender shall have given written notice to such Senior Junior Lender to purchase the Senior Loan prior to the expiration of such ten (10) Business Day period), (ii) upon a transfer of the Premises by foreclosure sale, sale by power of sale or delivery of a deed in lieu of foreclosure, or (iii) with respect to a specific Purchase Option Event, if such Purchase Option Event ever ceases to exist; provided, however, that in no event shall any Junior Lender have less than thirty (30) days to deliver a Purchase Notice following notice by Senior Lender to such Junior Lender of the occurrence of the related Purchase Option Event, except pursuant to the terms of clause (A)(iii) of this sentence.  Notwithstanding the foregoing sentence, if Borrower offers to deliver or actually delivers to Senior Lender a deed in lieu of foreclosure to the Premises (each, a “Deed in Lieu”), Senior Lender shall provide Junior Lenders not less than ten (10) Business Days written notice prior to accepting a Deed in Lieu to the Premises, and if any Junior Lender shall deliver a Purchase Notice to Senior Lender prior to the expiration of such ten (10) Business Day period, Senior Lender shall not accept the Deed in Lieu to the Premises, provided that the applicable Junior Lender pays the Senior Loan Purchase Price to Senior Lender and acquires the Senior Loan (and the Senior Junior Loans at the applicable Senior Junior Loan Purchase Price) within such ten (10) Business Day period from the delivery of such Purchase Notice, in which case all costs and expenses (including all transfer taxes) in connection therewith shall be paid by the applicable Junior Lender.

 

(c)           If a Junior Loan has been accelerated, any Equity Collateral Enforcement Action has been commenced under the Junior Loan Documents for a Junior Loan, a Proceeding has been commenced against a Junior Borrower under such Junior Loan or a Subordinate Junior Lender has cured one or more defaults on the part of any Junior Borrower under the Senior Junior Loan Documents pursuant to Section 12 hereof and, but for such cure, the Senior Junior Loan would be considered a “specially serviced mortgage loan” under the applicable pooling and servicing agreement if it were the Senior Loan (a “Junior Loan Purchase Option Event”), the Junior Lender holding such Junior Loan (such Junior Loan, the “Optioned Junior Loan” and such Junior Lender, the “Optioned Junior Lender”) shall provide prompt written notice of the same to the applicable Subordinate Junior Lenders, and upon ten (10) Business Days’ prior written notice (the “Junior Purchase Notice”) to the Senior Junior Lender holding the Optioned Junior Loan that is subject to the applicable Junior Loan Purchase Option Event, the applicable Subordinate Junior Lenders (and, if permitted by the applicable participation agreement, Optioned Junior Lenders’ participant) shall have the right to purchase, in whole but not in part, the applicable Optioned Junior Loan for the Senior Junior Loan Purchase Price.  Notwithstanding the foregoing but subject to the terms of the next to last sentence of this Section 14(c), the failure of a Senior Junior Lender to provide notice to any applicable Subordinate Junior Lender of the occurrence of a Junior Loan Purchase Option Event shall have no adverse effect on such Junior Lender.  In the event that more than one Subordinate Junior Lender elects to purchase an Optioned Junior Loan pursuant to this

 

73



 

Section 14(c), the Subordinate Junior Lender with the lowest priority with respect to the other Subordinate Junior Lenders that have elected to purchase such Optioned Junior Loan shall have the exclusive right to so purchase such Optioned Junior Loan, provided that such Subordinate Junior Lender shall also be required to concurrently purchase each of the other Subordinate Junior Loans that constitute, as to such purchasing Subordinate Junior Lender, Senior Junior Loans from the Junior Lenders holding such other Subordinate Junior Loans that so constitute Senior Junior Loans that are also Subordinate Junior Loans in respect of the Optioned Junior Loan (such other Subordinate Junior Loans, the “Additional Covered Junior Loans”) in each case for a price equal to the applicable Senior Junior Loan Purchase Price.  If any Subordinate Junior Lender which has elected to purchase the Optioned Junior Loan that is subject to the applicable Junior Loan Purchase Option Event fails to complete such purchase within ten (10) Business Days of delivery of a Junior Purchase Notice or fails to concurrently purchase the applicable Additional Covered Junior Loans as required hereunder, then such Junior Purchase Notice shall be deemed invalid, such defaulting Subordinate Junior Lender shall cease to have any right to purchase the Optioned Junior Loan in connection with the applicable Junior Loan Purchase Option Event and the other Subordinate Junior Lenders shall thereafter be entitled to exercise their purchase rights under, and in accordance with, this Section 14(c).  Concurrently with payment to the applicable Senior Junior Lenders of the applicable Senior Junior Loan Purchase Price for the Optioned Junior Loan or Additional Covered Junior Loan, as the case may be, held by such Senior Junior Lender, each applicable Senior Junior Lender shall deliver or cause to be delivered to the Subordinate Junior Lender exercising the purchase right hereunder all Senior Junior Loan Documents held by or on behalf of such Senior Junior Lender and will execute in favor of such Subordinate Junior Lender or its designee assignment documentation, in form and substance reasonably acceptable to such Subordinate Junior Lender, at the sole cost and expense of such Subordinate Junior Lender, to assign such Senior Junior Lender’s Optioned Junior Loan, or Additional Covered Junior Loan, as the case may be, and its rights under the related Senior Junior Loan Documents (without recourse, representations or warranties, except for representations as to the outstanding balance of such Optioned Junior Loan or Additional Covered Junior Loan, as the case may be, and as to such Senior Junior Lender’s ownership and not having previously assigned, transferred, participated or encumbered its rights in such Optioned Junior Loan or Additional Covered Junior Loan, as the case may be, unless such participation or encumbrance will be released prior to the transfer).  The right of any Subordinate Junior Lender to purchase the Optioned Junior Loan shall automatically terminate (x) upon a transfer or sale of the Equity Collateral covered by the Senior Junior Loan Documents that secure the Optioned Junior Loan, pursuant to any Equity Collateral Enforcement Action where the transferee is not Senior Borrower (or any Affiliate thereof), or (y) with respect to a specific Junior Loan Purchase Option Event, if such Junior Loan Purchase Option Event ceases to exist (including, if the applicable Senior Junior Lender terminated its Equity Collateral Enforcement Action); provided, however, that in no event shall any Subordinate Junior Lender have less than thirty (30) days, following notice by the applicable Senior Junior Lender to such Subordinate Junior Lender of the occurrence of a Junior Loan Purchase Option Event, to elect to purchase the Optioned Junior Loan, except if such period for such election to purchase is terminated pursuant to the terms of foregoing clause (x) or (y).  Notwithstanding the foregoing sentence, if title is transferred to any Subordinate Junior Lender less than ten (10) days after the acceleration of the applicable Senior Junior Loan, the applicable Subordinate Junior Lenders shall have a ten (10) day period

 

74



 

to deliver the applicable Senior Junior Loan Purchase Notice to the applicable Senior Junior Lender with the obligation to purchase the applicable Equity Collateral within ten (10) days of the delivery of such Senior Junior Loan Purchase Notice at the applicable Senior Junior Loan Purchase Price, in which case all costs and expenses (including all transfer taxes) in connection therewith shall be paid by the applicable Subordinate Junior Lender.

 

(d)           Senior Lender and each Junior Lender covenants not to, and not to permit any Affiliate to, enter any agreement with Borrower, any Junior Borrower or any Affiliate thereof to purchase the Senior Loan or any Junior Loan pursuant to this Section or in connection with any refinancing of the Senior Loan or any Junior Loan in any manner designed to avoid or circumvent the provisions of the Senior Loan Documents or any of the Junior Loan Documents which require the payment of any liquidated damage amount, acceleration prepayment premium, a prepayment fee, premiums or yield maintenance charge in connection with a prepayment of the Senior Loan or a Junior Loan.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the ten (10) Business Day period following delivery of the Purchase Notice during which a purchasing Junior Lender is required to consummate such purchase, may be extended for an additional ten (10) Business Days upon payment to the Senior Lender of a nonrefundable deposit in an amount equal to ten percent (10%) of the Senior Loan Purchase Price.

 

Section 15.             Additional Understandings.  For as long any Junior Loan remains outstanding:

 

(a)           Notices of Transfer, etc.  In the event of a request by Senior Borrower or any Junior Borrower for Senior Lender’s or any Junior Lender’s consent to either (i) the sale or Transfer of all or any material portion of the Premises or any interest in Senior Borrower or any Junior Borrower, or (ii) the granting of a further mortgage, deed of trust or similar encumbrance against the Premises or any of the Equity Collateral or any incurrence of additional indebtedness, such Person from whom such consent has been requested shall, as long as no Event of Default has occurred under the Senior Loan or the Junior Loan held by such Person, if such Person has the right to consent under the Senior Loan Documents or Junior Loan Documents held by such Person or such consent is otherwise requested from such Person, obtain the prior written consent of the Junior Lenders or the applicable Subordinate Junior Lenders, as the case may be, prior to such Person granting its consent or agreement thereto (for the purposes of this Section 15(a), each Junior Lender is to be reasonable to the extent Senior Lender must be reasonable, but nothing contained above is intended to reduce or limit the rights of each Junior Lender under its respective Junior Loan Documents).  Nothing herein shall require any Junior Lender to consent to, or waive its rights with respect to, any Transfer of the Premises or any interest therein (including, without limitation, the Separate Collateral).

 

(b)           Annual Budget.  The most Junior Lender shall have the right to receive and reasonably approve the Quarterly CapEx Budget in accordance with the terms of its Junior Loan Documents during a Trigger Period.

 

(c)           Reserves and Escrows.  If (i) Senior Lender waives any reserves or escrow accounts required under the Senior Loan Documents which reserves or escrow

Loan and the commencement of any Equity Collateral Enforcement Action under its Junior Loan Documents and, simultaneously with giving such notices to its Junior Borrower, copies of notices given to its Junior Borrower of events that with the passage of time and failure to cure, would result in the occurrence of a “Default” or “Event of Default” under its respective Junior Loan Documents.

 

(ii)           Senior Lender shall give each Junior Lender written notice of any Event of Default, acceleration of the Senior Loan, transfer of the Senior Loan to “special servicing” and the commencement of an Enforcement Action under the Senior Loan Documents and, simultaneously with giving such notices to Senior Borrower, copies of notices given to Senior Borrower of events that with the passage of time and failure to cure, would result in the occurrence of a “Default” or “Event of Default” under the Senior Loan Documents.

 

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

(m)          Resizing.  In connection with any Securitization of the Senior Loan, Senior Lender may notify the Junior Lenders that it intends to purchase a portion of certain of the Junior Loans and convert such purchased portion of such Junior Loans into the Senior Loan and, if applicable, the more senior Junior Loans, or require certain of the Junior Lenders to purchase a portion of the Senior Loan and convert such purchased portion into one or more of the Junior Loans (a “Resizing Notice”) which purchase shall occur within ten (10) Business Days of the Resizing Notice (the “Resizing Date”).  Any such resizing shall have no material adverse effect on any of the other Junior Loans and shall not change the initial weighted average interest rate of the Senior Loan and the Junior Loans.  Provided that no Event of Default exists under the Senior Loan or the affected Junior Loans, the affected Junior Lenders shall either (i) sell a portion of their Junior Loans to Senior Lender and, if applicable to the more senior Junior Lenders, or (ii) purchase a portion of the Senior Loan from Senior Lender, and if applicable, a portion of the more senior Junior Loans (the “Resized Components”).  The Resizing Notice shall set forth:  (1) the effective date of such resizing, (2) the principal amount of the Junior Loans to be purchased and converted into the Senior Loan, and, if applicable, into the more senior Junior Loans, or the principal amount of the Senior Loan and, if applicable, the more senior Junior Loans, to be purchased and converted into the affected Junior Loans, (3) the adjusted balance of the affected Junior Loans after such purchase(s) and conversion, (4) the adjusted Senior Loan balance after such purchase and conversion, (5) the adjusted Spread of the affected Junior Loans after such purchase and conversion, (6) the adjusted Spread of the Senior Loan after such purchase and conversion, and (7) the adjusted amortization schedules, if applicable, and release prices (both of which shall be allocated pro rata between the Senior Loan and the affected Junior Loans), as between the Senior Loan and the affected Junior Loans.  Senior Lender and each Junior Lender each agrees that, at Senior Lender’s expense, the Senior Loan Documents and the applicable Junior Loan Documents shall each be modified accordingly in order to reflect the terms set forth in the Resizing Notice (on or before the Resizing Date), which shall include (as applicable), among other things, modifications to the Title Insurance Policy, Interest Rate Cap Agreement, UCC Title Insurance Policy, and opinion letters delivered in connection with the Senior Loan and the affected Junior Loans, which modification documents shall be subject to the approval of the Senior Lender and the other Junior Lenders, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed.  True and correct copies of such modified documents shall be delivered to each of the Junior Lenders promptly after execution thereof.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this clause (m), any resizing to be effectuated pursuant to this clause (m) shall only affect those of

 

79



 

the Junior Loans which at such time continue to be owned by the originating Junior Lender (and originating Junior Noteholders) of each such Junior Loan.

(o)           Property Inspection Rights and Reports.  Senior Lender will use commercially reasonable efforts to endeavor, at no cost to Senior Lender, to cause the Senior Borrower to permit agents, representatives and employees of any Junior Lender to inspect the Premises or any part thereof during normal business hours on Business Days upon reasonable advance notice, provided that, as required pursuant to the Senior Loan Agreement, such inspections are subject in all instances to the rights of tenants, and provided that neither such inspections shall not unreasonably interfere with the operation of business on the Premises.  In addition, to the extent that Senior Lender prepares or receives property reports or financial reports from the Borrowers or with respect to the Premises (including any notices, documents, plans, specifications or reports received in connection with alterations to the Premises), Senior Lender will provide copies of such reports to any Junior Lender at such Junior Lender’s request.

 

(p)           Interest Rate Cap Agreement.(1)  [Notwithstanding the occurrence of an Event of Default under the Senior Loan, until such time that Senior Borrower and each of the Junior Borrowers obtain separate Interest Rate Cap Agreements for each of their respective loans, Senior Lender shall distribute any payments received under the Interest Rate Cap Agreement to each Junior Lender in the amount of such Junior Lender’s allocable share of such payment.]

 

(q)           Cooperation with Junior Lender(s).  At the request of any Junior Lender, Senior Lender and each other Junior Lender shall use reasonable efforts, at such requesting Junior Lender’s expense, to cooperate with such Junior Lender in attempting to cause Senior Borrower and each affected Junior Borrower in such Junior Lender’s creation of component notes, splitting its Junior Loan into or one or more new mezzanine loans or consolidating one or more Junior Loans held by such Junior Lender into a fewer number of Junior Loans, including entering into (or consenting to, as applicable) any modifications to this Agreement, the Senior Loan Documents or the affected Junior Loan Documents, and to cooperate with such requesting Junior Lender in attempting to cause Senior Borrower and the other Junior

Borrowers to execute such modifications to the Senior Loan Documents and the applicable Junior Loan Documents, in any such case, as may be reasonably requested by the requesting Junior Lender; provided, however, Senior Lender or any such Junior Lender shall not be required to modify or amend this Agreement, any Senior Loan Documents or its respective Junior Loan Documents (or consent to such modification of the Senior Loan Documents or the applicable Junior Loan Documents), if such modification or amendment would (1) materially increase Senior Borrower’s obligations under the Senior Loan Documents or materially decrease the Senior Borrower’s rights, remedies or protections thereunder or materially increase the respective Junior Borrower’s obligations under its Junior Loan Documents or decrease such Junior Lender’s rights, remedies or protections thereunder, (2) change the economic terms allocable to the Senior Loan or the applicable Junior Loans (including, without limitation, the basis upon which any reserve requirement is triggered or suspended) under the Senior Loan Documents and/or applicable Junior Loan Documents or (3) otherwise, in Senior Lender’s or any Junior Lender’s judgment, have any material adverse impact on Senior Lender or such Junior Lender or on the Senior Loan or such Junior Lender’s Junior Loan.

 

(r)            Ground Lease Default.  Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, a Ground Lease Default (defined below) shall, for all purposes hereunder, constitute a default under the Senior Loan with respect to which Junior Lenders shall have the right to cure in accordance with this Section 15(r) whether or not Senior Lender has cured such Ground Lease Default.  In connection with any default by the applicable Senior Borrower under a Ground Lease (a “Ground Lease Default”), Senior Lender shall, subject to the limitations and conditions set forth below, comply with each of the following provisions, to the extent applicable:

 

(i)            If Senior Lender shall receive any written notice that a Ground Lease Default has occurred and is continuing, Senior Lender shall promptly notify each Junior Lender in writing of the same and promptly deliver to each Junior Lender a true and complete copy of each such notice.  Further, Senior Lender shall provide such documents and information as each Junior Lender shall reasonably request concerning the Ground Lease Default; provided that, in the event such requested documentation and information is not in the actual possession of Senior Lender, Senior Lender shall only be required to use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain such information and the applicable Junior Lender shall pay all reasonable costs and expenses of Senior Lender incurred in connection with obtaining such requested documentation and information.

 

(ii)           Senior Lender shall, if requested by a Junior Lender, take all commercially reasonable action, to the extent permitted under the defaulted Ground Lease and not performed by Senior Borrower, to (A) cure any Ground Lease Default (to the extent such Ground Lease Default is susceptible of cure by Senior Lender), to keep and maintain such Ground Lease in full force and effect and (B) exercise any option to renew or extend the Ground Lease and give written confirmation thereof to each Junior Lender within thirty (30) days after such option is exercised; provided that the costs and expenses incurred by Senior Lender in taking any such actions under this clause (ii) shall be paid pro rata by the Junior Lenders, except to the extent such costs and

 

81



 

expenses are otherwise allocated to any party other than the Senior Lender pursuant to the pooling and servicing agreement for the Securitization of the Senior Loan.

 

(iii)          If the ground lessor shall reject the Ground Lease under or pursuant to Section 365 of the Bankruptcy Code, Senior Lender shall use commercially reasonable efforts to not permit the Senior Borrower to elect to treat the Ground Lease as terminated, and shall use commercially reasonable efforts to require the Senior Borrower to elect to remain in possession of the Premises demised under the Ground Lease and the leasehold estate under the Ground Lease.

 

(iv)          In the event that the Senior Lender assumes a Ground Lease or becomes entitled to a New Lease from the ground lessor prior to Senior Borrower rejecting such Ground Lease in a Proceeding, Senior Lender hereby agrees that, in the event that a Junior Lender forecloses or otherwise realizes upon its Equity Collateral in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, including, but not limited to, the terms and provisions of Section 6 hereof, and thereby gains title to such Equity Collateral, Senior Lender hereby agrees that, promptly after the completion of such foreclosure or other action to transfer title to such Equity Collateral, it will assign the assumed Ground Lease or New Lease to the Senior Borrower.

 

(v)           Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, (A) in the event that a Junior Lender requests that Senior Lender take or refrain from taking any action pursuant to this Section 15(r) and Senior Lender complies with such request, such Junior Lender shall protect, indemnify and save harmless the Indemnified Parties from and against any claims, demands, penalties, fines, liabilities, settlements, damages, costs and expenses of whatever kind or nature, known or unknown, contingent or otherwise, whether incurred or imposed within or outside the judicial process, including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements imposed upon or incurred by or asserted against any of the Indemnified Parties by reason of such requested actions or inactions and (B) Senior Lender shall have no obligation to take or refrain from taking any action pursuant to this Section 15(r) (1) unless and until such Junior Lender has cured all monetary Events of Default under the Senior Loan Documents and all non-monetary Events of Default under the Senior Loan Documents (other than those which are not susceptible of cure by Junior Lender and which do not materially impair the value, use or operation of the Premises) prior to the lapse of any cure periods set forth under Section 12(a)(ii) or (2) if compliance with the provisions of this Section 15(r) would (1) violate the Senior Loan Documents or any law, rule or regulation or (2) in the event that the Senior Loan or any interest therein is included as an asset of a real estate mortgage investment conduit (“REMIC”) within the meaning of Section 860D(a) of the Code, cause the Senior Loan (or portion thereof which is included in a REMIC) to fail to qualify at all times as a “qualified mortgage” within the meaning of Section 860G(a)(3) of the Code, or, subsequent to a foreclosure or delivery of a deed in lieu thereof, fail to qualify the Premises, as “foreclosure property” within the meaning of Section 860G(a)(8) of the Code.  In addition, notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, if Senior Lender determines, in accordance with Accepted Servicing Practices, that any other action in connection with a Ground Lease Default is necessary to preserve the related Ground Lease or to

 

82



 

protect or preserve the lien of the Mortgage, Senior Lender may take any such action; provided, in either event, that Senior Lender or any servicer on its behalf shall not be obligated to expend or advance any of its own funds if such Person determines that such expenditure or advance would constitute a non-recoverable advance under the terms of any servicing agreement governing the administration of the Senior Loan (it being agreed that in the event Junior Lender delivers to Senior Lender sums sufficient to cure any monetary default under the Ground Lease, the expenditure of such sums shall not be deemed a non-recoverable expenditure).

 

(vi)          Any sums due to Senior Lender from a Junior Lender under this Section 15(r) or reasonably requested by Senior Lender in anticipation of incurring any expenses required to be paid by such Junior Lender pursuant to this Section 15(r), shall be paid within ten (10) Business Days of demand by Senior Lender.  Failure to pay any such sums within five (5) Business Days of Senior Lender’s written notification to such Junior Lender that such Junior Lender failed to comply with the requirements of the immediately preceding sentence will constitute a waiver by such Junior Lender of any rights it may have under this Section 15(r).

 

(vii)         Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, if Senior Lender and/or one or more Junior Lenders elect to exercise any rights granted to a Junior Lender under this Section 15(r), Senior Lender and each Senior Junior Lender acknowledge and agree that, as between Senior Lender and each Junior Lender, the most junior Subordinate Junior Lender shall have the superior right to exercise such rights.

 

(viii)        Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to grant any Junior Lender the right to cure a Ground Lease Default beyond the period for cure afforded to the Senior Lender or Junior Lender under the Ground Lease (or any agreement entered into with the ground lessor thereunder).

 

(s)           Subordination of Ground Lease.  Senior Lender shall not consent to the subordination of any Ground Lease to any fee mortgage, except to the extent such subordination is required as a condition to receiving a New Lease, without the prior written consent of each Junior Lender, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed.

 

(t)            Modification of the Ground Lease.  Senior Lender shall not consent to a modification or termination of the Ground Lease, except to the extent Senior Lender has the obligation to so consent in the Senior Loan Documents, without the prior written consent of each Junior Lender, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed.  Senior Lender shall use commercially reasonable efforts to forward to each Junior Lender any notice Senior Lender receives under each Ground Lease; provided, however, that failure of Senior Lender to deliver such notice shall not impose any liability on Senior Lender nor modify the obligations of the parties hereunder.

 

Section 16.             Financing of the Junior Loans.  (a)  Notwithstanding any other provision hereof but subject to the provisions of Section 16(b), Senior Lender and each Junior

 

83



 

Lender hereby consents to each Junior Lender’s pledge (a “Pledge”) of its respective Junior Loan and of the Separate Collateral to any entity which has extended a credit facility to such Junior Lender that is a Qualified Transferee or a financial institution whose long-term unsecured debt is rated at least “A” (or the equivalent) or better by each Rating Agency (a “Loan Pledgee”), on the terms and conditions set forth in this Section 16, it is also agreed that the sale by a Junior Lender of its respective Junior Loan to a Qualified Transferee and the simultaneous agreement by such Junior Lender to repurchase its Junior Loan under an arrangement documented as a repurchase agreement (the “Repo Agreement”) shall qualify as a Pledge, provided all applicable terms and conditions of this subsection (a) are complied with; provided further that a Loan Pledgee which is not a Qualified Transferee may not take title to the Separate Collateral without a Rating Agency Confirmation.  Upon written notice by a Junior Lender to Senior Lender and the other Junior Lenders that the Pledge has been effected, Senior Lender and each Junior Lender agrees to acknowledge receipt of such notice and thereafter agrees:  (i) to give Loan Pledgee written notice of any default by the applicable Junior Lender under this Agreement of which default Senior Lender or such Junior Lender has actual knowledge; (ii) to allow Loan Pledgee a period of ten (10) days (in respect of a monetary default) and thirty (30) days (in respect of a non-monetary default) by the applicable Junior Lender in respect of its obligations to Senior Lender or such Junior Lender hereunder, but Loan Pledgee shall not be obligated to cure any such default; (iii) that no amendment or modification of this Agreement which adversely affects the rights or obligations of the Junior Lender which has made a Pledge to such Loan Pledgee, and no waiver or termination of any applicable Junior Lender’s rights under this Agreement, shall be effective against Loan Pledgee without the written consent of Loan Pledgee, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld; provided, however, the consent of the Loan Pledgee shall not be required unless the applicable Junior Lender’s consent was required pursuant to the terms of this Agreement to effect such modification, waiver or termination; (iv) that Senior Lender shall give to Loan Pledgee copies of any Senior Loan Default Notice and each Junior Lender shall give to Loan Pledgee copies of any Junior Loan Default Notice issued by such Junior Lender simultaneously with the giving of same to the applicable Junior Lender and accept any cure thereof by Loan Pledgee made in accordance with the provisions of Section 12 of this Agreement as if such cure were made by the applicable Junior Lender; (v) that Senior Lender and each Junior Lender shall deliver to Loan Pledgee such estoppel certificate(s) as Loan Pledgee shall reasonably request, provided that any such estoppel certificate(s) shall be in the form contemplated by Section 19 or in such other form reasonably acceptable to Senior Lender and such Junior Lender; and (vi) that, upon written notice (a “Redirection Notice”) to Senior Lender or a Junior Lender by Loan Pledgee that either (x) states that the pledging Junior Lender is in default, beyond applicable cure periods, under such Junior Lender’s obligations to Loan Pledgee pursuant to the applicable credit agreement (or Repo Agreement) between such Junior Lender and Loan Pledgee (which notice need not be joined in or confirmed by such Junior Lender), or (y) is joined in or confirmed by such pledging Junior Lender countersigning the Redirection Notice, and until such Redirection Notice is withdrawn or rescinded by Loan Pledgee, Senior Lender and each Junior Lender shall remit to the applicable Loan Pledgee and not to the applicable Junior Lender, any payments that Senior Lender or a Junior Lender would otherwise be obligated to pay to such Junior Lender from time to time pursuant to this Agreement, any Senior Loan Document, any Junior Loan Document or any other agreement between Senior Lender or any Junior Lender that relates to the Senior Loan or a Junior Loan. 

 

84



 

Each Junior Lender hereby unconditionally and absolutely releases Senior Lender and the other Junior Lenders from any liability to such Junior Lender on account of Senior Lender’s or a Junior Lender’s compliance with any Redirection Notice believed by Senior Lender or a Junior Lender to have been delivered by such Junior Lender’s Loan Pledgee.  Loan Pledgee shall be permitted to fully exercise its rights and remedies against the applicable Junior Lender, and realize on any and all collateral granted by the applicable Junior Lender to Loan Pledgee (and accept an assignment in lieu of foreclosure as to such collateral), in accordance with applicable law.  In such event, the Senior Lender and each of the other Junior Lenders shall recognize Loan Pledgee (and any transferee which is also a Qualified Transferee at any foreclosure or similar sale held by Loan Pledgee or any transfer in lieu of such foreclosure), and its successors and assigns, as the successor to the applicable Junior Lender’s rights, remedies and obligations under this Agreement and the Junior Loan Documents and any such Loan Pledgee or Qualified Transferee shall assume in writing (for the benefit of Senior Lender and the other Junior Lenders and their respective successors and assigns) the obligations of the applicable Junior Lender hereunder accruing from and after such Transfer and agrees to be bound by the terms and provisions hereof, it being agreed that, notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, such Loan Pledgee shall not be required to so assume applicable Junior Lender’s obligations hereunder prior to such realization on such collateral.  The rights of Loan Pledgee under this Section 16 shall remain effective unless and until Loan Pledgee shall have notified the Senior Lender and Junior Lenders in writing that its interest in the applicable Junior Loan has terminated.

 

(b)           Notwithstanding any provisions herein to the contrary, if a conduit (“Conduit”) which is not a Qualified Transferee provides financing to Junior Lender, then such Conduit will be a permitted “Loan Pledgee” despite the fact it is not a Qualified Transferee if the following conditions are satisfied:

 

(i)            the loan (the “Conduit Inventory Loan”) made by the Conduit to the Junior Lender to finance the acquisition and holding of its interest in the Junior Lender’s Junior Loan will require a third party (the “Conduit Credit Enhancer”) to provide credit enhancement;

 

(ii)           the Conduit Credit Enhancer and the administrator of the Conduit will be a Qualified Transferee;

 

(iii)          the pledging Junior Lender will pledge (or sell, transfer or assign as part of a repurchase facility) its interest in the Junior Loan to the Conduit as collateral for the Conduit Inventory Loan;

 

(iv)          the Conduit Credit Enhancer and the Conduit will agree that, if Junior Lender defaults under the Conduit Inventory Loan, or if the Conduit is unable to refinance its outstanding commercial paper even if there is no default by Junior Lender, the Conduit Credit Enhancer will purchase the Conduit Inventory Loan from the Conduit, and the Conduit will assign the pledge of Junior Lender’s interest in the Junior Loan to the Conduit Credit Enhancer; and

 

85



 

(v)           unless the Conduit is in fact then a Qualified Transferee, the Conduit will not without obtaining a Rating Agency Confirmation from each Rating Agency have any greater right to acquire the interests in the Junior Loan pledged by the Junior Lender, by foreclosure or otherwise, than would any other purchaser that is not a Qualified Transferee at a foreclosure sale conducted by a Loan Pledgee.

 

Section 17.             Obligations Hereunder Not Affected.  (a)  All rights, interests, agreements and obligations of Senior Lender and each Junior Lender under this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect irrespective of:

 

(b)           any lack of validity or enforceability of any of the Senior Loan Documents or any of the Junior Loan Documents or any other agreement or instrument relating thereto;

 

(c)           any taking, exchange, release or non-perfection of any other collateral, or any taking, release or amendment or waiver of or consent to or departure from any guaranty, for all or any portion of the Senior Loan or the Junior Loans;

 

(d)           any manner of application of collateral, or proceeds thereof, to all or any portion of the Senior Loan or the Junior Loans, or any manner of sale or other disposition of any collateral for all or any portion of the Senior Loan or the Junior Loans or any other assets of Senior Borrower or Junior Borrowers or any other Affiliates of Senior Borrower or any Junior Borrower;

 

(e)           any change, restructuring or termination of the ownership structure or existence of Borrower, Junior Borrowers or any other Affiliates of Senior Borrower; or

 

(f)            any other circumstance which might otherwise constitute a defense available to, or a discharge of, Senior Borrower, any Junior Borrower or a subordinated creditor or Senior Lender or any Junior Lender subject to the terms hereof.

 

(g)           This Agreement shall continue to be effective or be reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time any payment of all or any portion of the Senior Loan or a Junior Loan is rescinded or must otherwise be returned by Senior Lender or a Junior Lender upon the insolvency, bankruptcy or reorganization of Senior Borrower or a Junior Borrower or otherwise, all as though such payment had not been made.

 

Section 18.             Notices.  All notices, consents, approvals and requests (any of the foregoing, a “Notice”) required or permitted hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall be given in writing and shall be effective for all purposes if (i) hand-delivered; (ii) sent by (A) certified or registered United States mail, postage prepaid, return receipt requested or (B) expedited prepaid delivery service, either commercial or United States Postal Service, with proof of attempted delivery, or (iii) sent by telecopier (with advice by telephone to recipient that a telecopy notice is forthcoming and a machine-generated confirmation of successful transmission), addressed as follows (or at such other address and Person as shall be designated from time to time by any party hereto, as the case may be, in a written notice to the other parties hereto in the manner provided for in this Section):

Section 32.                                      Severability.  In the event that any provision of this Agreement or the application hereof to any party hereto shall, to any extent, be invalid or unenforceable under any applicable statute, regulation, or rule of law, then such provision shall be deemed inoperative to the extent that it may conflict therewith and shall be deemed modified to conform to such statute, regulation or rule of law, and the remainder of this Agreement and the application of any such invalid or unenforceable provisions to parties, jurisdictions or circumstances other than to whom or to which it is held invalid or unenforceable, shall not be affected thereby nor shall same affect the validity or enforceability of any other provision of this Agreement.

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

 

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

 

Section 34.                                      Injunction.  Each party to this Agreement acknowledges (and waives any defense based on a claim) that monetary damages are not an adequate remedy to redress a breach by the other hereunder and that a breach by any party hereunder would cause irreparable harm to any other party to this Agreement.  Accordingly, each party to this Agreement agrees that upon a breach of this Agreement by any other party, the remedies of injunction, declaratory judgment and specific performance shall be available to such non-breaching party.

Section 36.                                      Indemnification.  Each Junior Lender shall, as to notices delivered by it, indemnify Senior Lender from and against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties and expenses of any kind or nature whatever that may be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against Senior Lender in any manner relating to or arising out of Senior Lender’s good faith reliance on any notice of default delivered by such Junior Lender to Senior Lender pursuant to which any excess cash flow that would otherwise be remitted to Senior Borrower pursuant to the Senior Loan Documents is instead transferred to such Junior Lender pursuant to the its respective Junior Loan Documents.

 

Section 37.                                      Affiliated Mezzanine Lender.  (a) Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, in the event that at any time any Person who owns, directly or indirectly, more than 50% of an economic, legal or other beneficial interest in Senior Borrower or which has the power, directly or indirectly, to direct or cause the direction of the management or policies of Senior Borrower, is the direct or indirect holder of more than 25% of any Junior Loan, whether as a co-lender, participant or otherwise, or otherwise Controls such Junior Lender (an “Affiliate Junior Lender”), such Affiliate Junior Lender shall not be

(b)                                 Each Affiliate Junior Lender shall also be subject to the following limitations and restrictions:

 

(i)                                     so long as the Senior Loan Liabilities shall remain unsatisfied, such Affiliate Junior Lender shall not take any of the following actions (or cause, through the exercise of voting rights, contract rights or otherwise, any of the following actions to be taken):

 

(A)                              take, sue for, ask or demand from any Senior Junior Borrower or Senior Borrower any payment on account of the Junior Loan in which it has an interest; or

(D)                               commence, prosecute or participate in any suit, action, case or proceeding against Senior Borrower or any Senior Junior Borrower in violation of the express provisions of this Agreement or violate any of the other express terms or provisions of this Agreement, and, in the event of any such violation, Senior Lender or such Senior Junior Lender may intervene and interpose such defense or plea as it shall elect, including that of bad faith filing by such Affiliate Junior Lender, and shall, in any event, be entitled to restrain such actions in the same suit, action, case or proceeding or in any independent suit, action, case or proceeding; or

 

(E)                                 enforce against Senior Borrower or any Senior Junior Borrower any right of such Affiliate Junior Lender to approve, consent to or set standards with respect to (A) any lease for any portion of the Premises, (B) any operating

or capital budget for the Premises, (C) any proposed alteration or modification of the Premises, or (D) any other matter relating to the operation, maintenance, management, repair and leasing of the Premises; and

 

(ii)                                  such Affiliate Junior Lender shall not be entitled to (and hereby waives any right which it would otherwise have to require) promptness, diligence, notice of acceptance or any other notice with respect to the Senior Loan or any Senior Junior Loan, and Senior Lender or any Senior Junior Lender shall have no obligation to protect, secure, perfect or insure any security interest or lien on any property for the benefit of such Affiliate Junior Lender or exhaust any right or take any action against Senior Borrower or any Senior Junior Borrower or any other Person or property for the benefit of such Affiliate Junior Lender.

 

(c)                                  Notwithstanding anything hereinto the contrary, an Affiliate Junior Lender may exercise its rights pursuant to Section 14 hereof so long as such Affiliate Junior Lender also pays as part of the Senior Junior Loan Purchase Price, any liquidated damage amount, any exit fees and any prepayment premiums, any spread maintenance or yield maintenance charges, any late charges or any default interest incurred or accrued with respect to each Senior Junior Loan.
