ARTICLE I

GENERAL TERMS

1.1. The Loan. On the Closing Date, subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, Lender shall make a loan to Borrower (the “Loan”) in an amount equal to the Loan Amount. The Loan shall initially be represented by the Note which shall bear interest as described in this Agreement at a per annum rate as provided in Section 1.3(a). The Loan shall be secured by the Collateral.

1.2. The Term.

(a) The Maturity Date of the Loan shall be the Payment Date in November 2009, as such date may be extended pursuant to Section 1.2(b), or such earlier date as may result from acceleration of the Loan during the continuance of an Event of Default in accordance with this Agreement.

(b) Borrower shall have two successive options to extend the scheduled Maturity Date of the Loan to the Payment Date in November 2010 and 2011, respectively (the period of each such extension, an “Extension Term”), provided that as a condition to each such extension, (i) Borrower shall deliver to Lender written notice of such extension at least 10 days and not more than 60 days prior to the Maturity Date as theretofore in effect; (ii) no Event of Default shall be continuing on either the date of such notice or the Maturity Date as theretofore in effect; (iii) Borrower shall have obtained an Extension Interest Rate Cap Agreement for the applicable Extension Term and collaterally assigned such Extension Interest Rate Cap Agreement to Lender pursuant to an Assignment of Interest Rate Cap Agreement; (iv) with respect to the first Extension Term only Borrower shall have satisfied its obligations under Section 3.8(c) (unless extended in accordance herewith), (v) Borrower shall have paid all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred by Lender in connection with such extension, (vi) in respect of the first Extension Term, Borrower shall have achieved a Debt Yield of 8.05% for the last full Test Period ending prior to the Maturity Date as theretofore in effect, and (vii) in respect of the second Extension Term, Borrower shall have achieved a Debt Yield of 8.30% for the last full Test Period ending prior to the Maturity Date as theretofore in effect (the foregoing Debt Yield tests to be determined in each case taking into account any prepayments made prior to or simultaneously with such extension in accordance with Section 2.1). If Borrower fails to exercise any extension option in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement, such extension option, and any subsequent extension option hereunder, will automatically cease and terminate.

 

38


1.3. Interest and Principal.

(a) Commencing with the Initial Payment Date and on each and every Payment Date thereafter, Borrower shall pay interest on the portion of the Principal Indebtedness evidenced by the Note for the Interest Accrual Period in which such Payment Date falls at a rate per annum equal to the sum of LIBOR, determined as of the applicable Interest Determination Date, plus the applicable Spread (except that interest shall be payable on the Indebtedness, including due but unpaid interest, at the Default Rate with respect to any portion of such Interest Accrual Period falling during the continuance of an Event of Default). Interest payable hereunder shall be computed on the basis of a 360-day year and the actual number of days elapsed.

(b) No prepayments of the Loan shall be permitted except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement. The entire outstanding Principal Indebtedness, together with all interest thereon through the end of the Interest Accrual Period in which the Maturity Date falls (calculated as if such Principal Indebtedness were outstanding for the entire Interest Accrual Period) and all other amounts then due under the Loan Documents shall be due and payable by Borrower to Lender on the Maturity Date.

(c) Upon written notice from Lender to Borrower (the “Componentization Notice”), the Note will be deemed to have been subdivided (retroactively as of the Closing) into multiple components (“Note Components”). Each Note Component shall have such notional balance (a “Component Balance”) as Lender shall specify in the Componentization Notice and an interest rate equal to the sum of LIBOR plus such amount as Lender shall specify in the Componentization Notice (each such amount, a “Component Spread”); provided that (i) the sum of the Component Balances of all Note Components relating to the Note shall equal the principal balance of such Note immediately prior to such subdivision, (ii) the initial weighted average of the Component Spreads of all Note Components relating to the Note, weighted on the basis of their respective Component Balances, shall equal the percentage set forth in clause (i) of the definition of “Spread”, and (iii) the Componentization Notice shall not contain terms, provisions and clauses that are less favorable to Borrower than those contained in the Loan Documents as of the date hereof or which increase the obligations, or decrease the rights, of Borrower or any of its Affiliates hereunder or under any of the other Loan Documents (in each case other than the effects of an increase in the weighted average spread of the Component Spreads that may result from the sequential application of a prepayment (x) during the continuance of an Event of Default and (y) on account of Loss Proceeds, to the extent applied to prepay a portion of the Loan in accordance with Section 5.16). If requested by Lender, each Note Component shall be represented by a separate physical Note. Borrower shall have three Business Days from receipt of a Componentization Notice to object to same, it being understood that the sole basis on which Borrower may so object shall be that the requirements set forth in this subparagraph (c) have not been satisfied. Borrower shall execute and return to Lender a replacement Note reflecting such componentization within five Business Days after Borrower’s receipt of execution copies thereof. Subject to the terms of the Cooperation Agreement, the foregoing shall be at Lender’s expense, except that Borrower shall pay its own legal fees in respect thereof in an amount not to exceed $100,000 in the aggregate (and, Lender, in addition to paying all other costs and expenses in connection with the foregoing, shall pay all reasonable legal fees of Borrower in connection therewith in excess of the first $100,000 of legal fees payable by Borrower in respect thereof).

 

39


(d) Other than in the case of the payment in respect of principal due on the Maturity Date or upon acceleration of the Loan during the continuance of an Event of Default, any payments of interest not paid when due hereunder shall bear interest at the applicable Default Rate and, when paid, shall be accompanied by a late fee in an amount equal to 3% times the amount of such late payment. Borrower acknowledges that (i) a delinquent payment will cause damage to Lender; (ii) the late fee is intended to compensate Lender for the loss of use of the delinquent payment and the expense incurred and time and effort associated with recovering the delinquent payment; (iii) it will be extremely difficult and impractical to ascertain the extent of Lender’s damages caused by the delinquency; and (iv) the late fee represents Lender’s and Borrower’s reasonable estimate of Lender’s damages from the delinquency and is not a penalty.

1.4. Interest Rate Cap Agreements.

(a) Within five Business Days after the date hereof, Borrower shall obtain, and thereafter maintain in effect (unless replaced pursuant to Section 1.4(e)), an Initial Interest Rate Cap Agreement, which shall be coterminous with the initial term of the Loan and have a notional amount that is not less than the Principal Indebtedness. Any Initial Interest Rate Cap Agreement shall have a LIBOR strike rate equal to or less than the then-applicable LIBOR Strike Rate.

(b) If Borrower exercises any of its options to extend the term of the Loan pursuant to Section 1.2(b), then on or prior to the commencement of the applicable Extension Term Borrower shall obtain, and thereafter maintain in effect (unless replaced pursuant to Section 1.4(e)), an Extension Interest Rate Cap Agreement having a term coterminous with such Extension Term, a notional amount that is not less than the Principal Indebtedness, and a LIBOR strike rate equal to or less than the then-applicable LIBOR Strike Rate.

(c) Borrower shall collaterally assign to Lender pursuant to an Assignment of Interest Rate Cap Agreement all of its right, title and interest in any and all payments under each Interest Rate Cap Agreement and shall deliver to Lender an executed counterpart of such Interest Rate Cap Agreement and obtain the consent of the Acceptable Counterparty to such collateral assignment (as evidenced by the Acceptable Counterparty’s execution of such Collateral Assignment of Interest Rate Cap Agreement).

(d) Borrower shall comply with all of its obligations under the terms and provisions of each Interest Rate Cap Agreement. All amounts paid under an Interest Rate Cap Agreement shall be deposited directly into the Cash Management Account. Borrower shall take all actions reasonably requested by Lender to enforce Lender’s rights under the Interest Rate Cap Agreement in the event of a default by the counterparty thereunder and shall not waive, amend or otherwise modify any of its material rights thereunder.

(e) If, at any time during the term of the Loan, the counterparty to the Interest Rate Cap Agreement then in effect ceases to be an Acceptable Counterparty and thereafter fails

 

40


to abide by the requirements set forth in such Interest Rate Cap Agreement with respect to ratings downgrades, then Borrower shall promptly obtain a replacement Interest Rate Cap Agreement satisfying the requirements set forth in paragraph (a) or (b) above, as applicable, with a counterparty that is an Acceptable Counterparty, which replacement Interest Rate Cap Agreement shall be collaterally assigned to Lender as set forth in paragraph (c) above.

(f) At any time that Borrower obtains an Interest Rate Cap Agreement pursuant to this Section 1.4, Borrower shall cause to be delivered to Lender a legal opinion or opinions from counsel to the applicable Acceptable Counterparty (which counsel may be internal counsel) with respect to the enforceability, authority and other customary matters in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Lender.

(g) Borrower may, without Lender’s consent, cause the notional amount of any Interest Rate Cap Agreement to be reduced, dollar-for-dollar, by any actual prepayment of the Loan made in accordance herewith and Lender shall, at Borrower’s sole cost and expense, cooperate with Borrower in effecting such reduction, provided that the notional amount thereof shall at no time be less than the Principal Indebtedness.

1.5. Method and Place of Payment. Except as otherwise specifically provided in this Agreement, all payments and prepayments under this Agreement and the Notes (including any deposit into the Cash Management Account pursuant to Section 3.2(c) and any reserve deposits required hereunder) shall be made to Lender not later than 1:00 p.m., New York City time, on the date when due and shall be made in lawful money of the United States of America by wire transfer in federal or other immediately available funds to the account specified in writing from time to time by Lender to Borrower. Any funds received by Lender after such time shall be deemed to have been paid on the next succeeding Business Day. Lender shall notify Borrower in writing of any changes in the account to which payments are to be made. If the amount received from Borrower (or from the Cash Management Account pursuant to Section 3.2(b)) is less than the sum of all amounts then due and payable or required to be deposited hereunder, such amount shall be applied, at Lender’s sole discretion, either toward the components of the Indebtedness (e.g., interest, principal and other amounts payable hereunder) and the Note Components in such sequence as Lender shall elect in its sole discretion (subject, as between the holders of the Notes, to any intercreditor agreement), or toward the payment of Taxes, Operating Expenses, FF&E and Capital Expenditures.

1.6. Regulatory Change. If, as a result of any Regulatory Change, any reserve, special deposit or similar requirements relating to any extensions of credit or other assets of, or any deposits with, any Lender is imposed, modified or deemed applicable and the result is to increase the cost to such Lender of making LIBOR-based loans, or to reduce the amount receivable by Lender hereunder in respect of any portion of the Loan with respect to LIBOR-based loans by a material amount (such increases in cost and reductions in amounts receivable, “Increased Costs”), then Borrower agrees that it will pay to Lender upon Lender’s request such additional amount or amounts (based upon a reasonable allocation thereof by such Lender to the LIBOR-based loans made by such Lender) as will compensate such Lender for such Increased Costs to the extent that such Increased Costs are reasonably allocable to the Loan. Lender will notify Borrower in writing of any event

 

41


occurring after the Closing Date which will entitle Lender to compensation pursuant to this Section 1.6 as promptly as practicable after it obtains knowledge thereof and determines to request such compensation and will designate a different lending office if such designation will avoid the need for, or reduce the amount of, such compensation and will not, in the reasonable judgment of such Lender, be otherwise disadvantageous to such Lender. If such Lender shall fail to notify Borrower of any such event within 90 days following the end of the month during which such event occurred, then Borrower’s liability for any amounts described in this Section 1.6 incurred by such Lender as a result of such event shall be limited to those attributable to the period occurring subsequent to the 90th day prior to the date upon which such Lender actually notified Borrower of the occurrence of such event. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event shall Borrower be required to compensate any Lender (i) for any portion of the income or franchise taxes of Lender, whether or not attributable to payments made by Borrower and (ii) unless the events giving rise to such compensation affect similarly situated banks or financial institutions generally and are not applicable to such lender solely or primarily by reason of such lender’s particular conduct or condition. If a Lender requests compensation under this Section 1.6, Borrower may, by notice to Lender, require that such Lender furnish to Borrower a statement setting forth in reasonable detail the basis for requesting such compensation and the method for determining the amount thereof. This Section 1.6 shall apply only with respect to any portion of the Loan that is not contained in a Securitization. This Section 1.6 shall not apply to a regulatory change with respect to any taxes (including, but not limited to, U.S. Taxes).

1.7. Taxes.

(a) Borrower agrees to indemnify Lender against any present or future stamp, documentary or other similar or related taxes or other similar or related charges now or hereafter imposed, levied, collected, withheld or assessed by any United States Governmental Authority by reason of the execution and delivery of the Loan Documents and any consents, waivers, amendments and enforcement of rights under the Loan Documents.

(b) If Borrower is required by law to withhold or deduct any amount from any payment hereunder in respect of any U.S. Tax, Borrower shall withhold or deduct the appropriate amount, remit such amount to the appropriate Governmental Authority and pay to each Person to whom there has been an Assignment or Participation of a Loan and who is not a U.S. Person such additional amounts as are necessary in order that the net payment of any amount due to such non-U.S. Person hereunder after deduction for or withholding in respect of any U.S. Tax imposed with respect to such payment (or in lieu thereof, payment of such U.S. Tax by such non-U.S. Person), will not be less than the amount stated in this Agreement to be then due and payable; except that the foregoing obligation to pay such additional amounts shall not apply (i) to the extent that Borrower would be required to withhold or deduct any U.S. Tax if a payment to an assignee would be made on the date of the Assignment or Participation (for the avoidance of doubt, Borrower shall not be required to pay any additional amounts under this Section 1.7(b) to the extent that the rate of withholding or payments to an assignee on any Payment Date is equal to or less than the rate of withholding that would apply to payments to such assignee if a payment was made on the date of such Assignment or Participation), (ii) to any assignee that has not complied with the obligations contained in Section 9.7(c), (iii) to any U.S. Taxes imposed solely by reason of the failure by such Person (or, if such Person is not the beneficial owner of the relevant Loan, such beneficial owner) to comply with applicable certification, information,

 

42


documentation or other reporting requirements concerning the nationality, residence, identity or connections with the United States of America of such Person (or beneficial owner, as the case may be) if such compliance is required by statute or regulation of the United States of America as a precondition to relief or exemption from such U.S. Taxes; or (iv) with respect to any Person who is a fiduciary or partnership or other than the sole beneficial owner of such payment, to any U.S. Tax imposed with respect to payments made under any Note to a fiduciary or partnership to the extent that the beneficial owner or member of the partnership would not have been entitled to the additional amounts if such beneficial owner or member of the partnership had been the holder of the Note.

ARTICLE II

VOLUNTARY PREPAYMENT; ASSUMPTION

2.1. Voluntary Prepayment.

(a) Borrower may voluntarily prepay the Loan in whole or in part on any Business Day, except that no prepayments shall be permitted during the last two Business Days in any Interest Accrual Period unless such prepayment is accompanied by interest in respect of the next succeeding Interest Accrual Period as set forth in the next sentence. Each such prepayment shall be accompanied by (i) the amount of interest theretofore accrued but unpaid in respect of the principal amount so prepaid; plus (ii) the amount of interest which would have accrued on the principal amount so prepaid had it remained outstanding through the end of the Interest Accrual Period in which such prepayment is made (plus, in the case of a prepayment on one of the last two Business Days during an Interest Accrual Period, the amount of interest which would have accrued on the principal amount so prepaid had it remained outstanding through the end of the Interest Accrual Period following the Interest Accrual Period in which such prepayment is made); and for avoidance of doubt, no interest shall be payable in respect of the amount so prepaid after payment of the amounts set forth herein on the date of such prepayment. In addition, if such prepayment is made during the Spread Maintenance Period, such prepayment shall be accompanied by the applicable Spread Maintenance Amount. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, (x) simultaneously with any voluntary prepayment of all or any portion of the Mezzanine Loan Principal Indebtedness (excluding any prepayment made pursuant to Section 2.5), Borrower shall make a prepayment hereunder in the amount necessary so that the Principal Indebtedness and the Mezzanine Loan Principal Indebtedness immediately after such prepayments are in the same proportion as they were immediately prior to such prepayments and (y) Borrower shall not be permitted to make a voluntary prepayment of the Loan hereunder unless simultaneously therewith a prepayment of each Mezzanine Loan shall also be made in the amount necessary so that the Principal Indebtedness and the Mezzanine Loan Principal Indebtedness immediately after such prepayment are in the same proportion as they were immediately prior to such prepayments. In the event that Borrower makes a prepayment of the Loan in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement on a Business Day that falls from and including the second to last day in an Interest Accrual Period to but excluding the first succeeding Interest Determination Date immediately following such Payment Date (each such period, an “Assumed Note Rate Period”), it may be impossible for Borrower and Lender to calculate with certainty the interest that would have accrued at the applicable interest rate on the amount then prepaid through the end of the Interest Accrual Period whose LIBOR is determined on such Interest Determination Date. Accordingly, in the event that any portion of the Loan is prepaid during an Assumed Note Rate Period, the interest that would have accrued on such prepaid amount at the applicable Interest Rate through the end of such Interest Accrual Period shall be estimated based on an interest rate (the “Assumed Note Rate”) equal to the sum of (i) LIBOR calculated in accordance with the definition of “LIBOR” herein, but assuming that the Interest Determination Date used in such definition is the date that is two Business Days prior to the date on which such prepayment is made, plus (ii) the applicable Spread, plus (iii) 1.00% (the amount of interest prepaid based on

 

44


the foregoing calculation, the “Assumed Note Rate Payment”). Thereafter, on the Interest Determination Date for the applicable Interest Accrual Period, Lender shall determine LIBOR with respect to such Interest Accrual Period in accordance with the definition of “LIBOR” herein. If it is determined by Lender that LIBOR as so determined for the applicable Interest Accrual Period plus the applicable Spread is less than the Assumed Note Rate, Lender shall promptly refund to Borrower, without interest, an amount equal to the difference between (x) the Assumed Note Rate Payment and (y) the amount of interest which would have been payable on the prepaid amount based on LIBOR as determined on the Interest Determination Date. Alternatively, in the event that it is determined that LIBOR as determined on the Interest Determination Date plus the Spread is greater than the Assumed Note Rate, Borrowers shall pay to Lender, without additional interest or other late charges or penalties on the Payment Date that falls during such Interest Accrual Period an amount equal to the difference between (x) the amount of interest which would have been payable on the prepaid amount based on LIBOR as determined on the Interest Determination Date and (y) the Assumed Note Rate Payment.

(b) As a condition to any voluntary prepayment, Borrower shall give Lender written notice (a “Prepayment Notice”) of its intent to prepay, which notice must be given at least five Business Days and not more than 60 days prior to the Business Day upon which prepayment is to be made and must specify the Business Day on which such prepayment is to be made and the amount of such prepayment. If any such notice is given, then, subject to the immediately succeeding sentence, the amount specified in such notice will be due and payable on the date specified therein. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if no Event of Default is then continuing, such Prepayment Notice may be rescinded or amended by written notice to Lender (for example, to adjourn the prepayment date or the amount of such prepayment) without the need to once again comply with the Prepayment Notice time period requirements set forth in the first sentence of this Section 2.1(b); provided, however, no such amendment shall result in Lender having fewer than two Business Days advance notice of the newly proposed prepayment date, and any such newly proposed prepayment date shall not be more than 30 days after the prepayment date specified in the original Prepayment Notice, and provided further that Borrower shall compensate Lender for any and all Damages incurred by Lender and/or its agents resulting from such rescission.

(c) If the Note has been bifurcated into multiple Note Components pursuant to Section 1.3(c), all voluntary prepayments of the Loan pursuant to this Section 2.1 shall be applied to the Note Components on a pro rata basis (as distinguished from sequentially) in proportion to their then-outstanding principal balance.

2.2. Property Releases.

(a) So long as no Event of Default is then continuing (other than an Event of Default that would be eliminated after giving effect to the release of the Mortgaged Property proposed to be released pursuant to Section 7.1(k)), Borrower may from time to time obtain the release of one or more of the Mortgaged Properties from the Liens of the Loan Documents and Transfer such Mortgaged Property to an unaffiliated third party in an arms’-length transaction (except that, if the release is being effectuated pursuant to the provisions of Section 7.1(k), Borrower may Transfer such Mortgaged Property to an Affiliate of Borrower) upon satisfaction of the following conditions:

(i) Borrower shall deliver to Lender notice (a “Release Notice”) of its intent to release one or more of the Mortgaged Properties, which notice must be given at least 10 Business Days and not more than 60 days prior to the Business Day upon which the release is to be made and shall specify the Mortgaged Property or Mortgaged Properties that Borrower intends to release. Borrower shall promptly reimburse Lender for any actual out-of-pocket costs and expenses (including the reasonable fees and expenses of legal counsel and the Servicer) incurred by Lender in connection with a release pursuant to this Section 2.2.

 

45


(ii) At the time of such release: (1) Borrower shall prepay a portion of the Loan, in accordance with Section 2.1, in an amount equal to (x) subject to Section 2.2(d), the applicable Release Price, plus (y) any additional amount required to be prepaid in accordance with Section 2.2(d) in order to reduce the Release Price Deficit, which prepayment, in each case under clauses (x) and (y), shall be accompanied by the applicable Spread Maintenance Amount, which prepayment shall be accompanied by the other amounts specified in Section 2.1, to the extent applicable (and without duplication of any amounts otherwise payable by Borrower under this Agreement), and (2) DSCR for the Fiscal Quarter then most recently ended, recalculated to include only income and expense attributable to the Mortgaged Properties remaining after the release and to exclude the interest expense and principal payments on the aggregate amount to be prepaid, shall be equal to or greater than the applicable DSCR Threshold; provided, however, that, except with respect to a release of a Mortgaged Property pursuant to Section 7.1(k), the DSCR Threshold need not be satisfied if at the time of such sale Borrower (I) prepays the Loan in an amount set forth in clause (1) above, (II) deposits 100% of any remaining Excess Transfer Proceeds, after payment of the amount required under clause (1)(y) above and the corresponding sections of the Mezzanine Loan Agreements, into the Cash Reserve Account as additional collateral for the Loan (for the avoidance of doubt, any release of a Mortgaged Property pursuant to Section 7.1(k) shall be subject to the satisfaction of the DSCR Threshold, and Borrower shall not be released from such requirement by depositing 100% of the Excess Transfer Proceeds as set forth in clause (II) above), and (III) during the continuance of the Spread Maintenance Period, pays to Lender and each Mezzanine Lender the applicable Spread Maintenance Amount on the amount so deposited into the Cash Reserve Account as if the Loan and the Mezzanine Loan had been prepaid in such amount on a pro rata basis pursuant to clause (z) of the following sentence. Following such deposit, Borrower shall, in its sole discretion, have the option to either (y) maintain the Excess Transfer Proceeds in the Cash Reserve Account as additional collateral for the Loan or (z) cause all or any portion of the Excess Transfer Proceeds to be applied toward prepayment of the Loan and the Mezzanine Loans, pro rata in proportion to their respective principal amounts, which prepayments shall be made in accordance with Section 2.1 hereof and the corresponding sections of the Mezzanine Loan Documents (except that the Spread Maintenance Amount, which shall have been paid upon deposit of funds into the Cash Reserve Account, need not be paid a second time upon prepayment).

(iii) Lender shall have received a payoff letter or written confirmation from each Mezzanine Lender that satisfactory escrow arrangements in connection with the release of such Mortgaged Property have been established.

 

46


(b) Immediately upon satisfaction of the requirements in Sections 2.1, 2.2 or 7.1(k), as applicable, Lender shall execute and deliver to Borrower such instruments, prepared by Borrower and approved by Lender (which approval, in the absence of an Event of Default (other than an Event of Default that would be eliminated after giving effect to the release of the Mortgaged Property proposed to be released) shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), as shall be necessary to release the applicable Mortgaged Property and the applicable portion of any other Collateral securing the Loan with respect to such Mortgaged Property (excluding any amounts retained in any Collateral Accounts with respect to such Mortgaged Property, except as otherwise expressly set forth herein) from the Liens of the Loan Documents (and/or, as applicable, the Qualified Letter(s) of Credit shall be correspondingly reduced). Any Mortgaged Property released pursuant to this Section 2.2 or Section 7.1(k) shall, effective upon such release, no longer be deemed a “Mortgaged Property” or a “Property” for any purpose of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents. At Borrower’s request, Lender will promptly assign the portion of the Indebtedness secured by the portion of the Collateral to be released, as well as the applicable Mortgage encumbering such portion of the Collateral, to a third party specified by Borrower without representation or warranty (except that (i) Lender owns such portion of the Indebtedness; (ii) Lender has not encumbered such portion of the Indebtedness, except for Liens to be discharged concurrently with such assignment; and (iii) the full amount of the then-outstanding Indebtedness) and otherwise in accordance with Section 1.8.

(d) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if the Net Proceeds of a Transfer of a Mortgaged Property are less than the sum of its Minimum Release Price and its aggregate “Minimum Release Price” under and as defined in the Mezzanine Loan Agreements, then the amount payable by Borrower under Section 2.2(a)(ii)(1)(x) in connection with its release shall be the Mortgage Loan Percentage of such Net Proceeds, subject to the following:

(i) the Release Price Deficit (as defined below) may not at any time exceed 2% of the Principal Indebtedness;

(ii) after prepayments have been made that reduce the Principal Indebtedness to one-half of the Loan Amount, no release of a Mortgaged Property shall be permitted that would result in any increase in the Release Price Deficit; and

(iii) if and to the extent the Release Price Deficit is greater than zero, all Excess Transfer Proceeds shall be applied toward prepayment of the Loan and each Mezzanine Loan in proportion to the Release Price Deficit and the “Release Price Deficits” under and as defined in the respective Mezzanine Loan Agreements, respectively, in each case until reduced to zero.

Release Price Deficit” means, from time to time, the excess, if any, of (x) the sum of all Release Prices of all Mortgaged Properties theretofore released, minus (y) the sum of all amounts theretofore applied toward the prepayment of the Loan in connection with Transfers of Mortgaged Properties pursuant to Section 2.2(a)(ii)(1)(x) and (y).

57


(c) If on any Payment Date the amount in the Cash Management Account shall be insufficient to make all of the transfers described in Section 3.2(b)(i) through (iii), Borrower shall deposit into the Cash Management Account on such Payment Date the amount of such deficiency. If Borrower shall fail to make such deposit, the same shall constitute an Event of Default and, in addition to all other rights and remedies provided for under the Loan Documents, Lender may disburse and apply the amounts in the Collateral Accounts in accordance with Section 3.12(c).

(d) Lender may conclusively rely upon any notice received from a Mezzanine Lender with respect to the amount then payable under the applicable Mezzanine Loan Agreement and with respect to the occurrence, continuance or termination of any Mezzanine Loan Event of Default. Lender shall be under no duty to inquire into or investigate the validity, accuracy or content of any such notice.

(e) All transfers of Borrower’s funds from the Cash Management Account or any other source to or for the benefit of any Mezzanine Lender or any Mezzanine Borrower pursuant to this Agreement, the Cash Management Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents shall constitute distributions from the Borrower to the Mezzanine A Borrower, from the Mezzanine A Borrower to the Mezzanine B Borrower, from the Mezzanine B Borrower to the Mezzanine C Borrower, from the Mezzanine C Borrower to the Mezzanine D Borrower, from the Mezzanine D Borrower to the Mezzanine E Borrower, from the Mezzanine E Borrower to the Mezzanine F Borrower, and from the Mezzanine F Borrower to the Mezzanine G Borrower, as applicable. No provision of any of the Loan Documents shall create a debtor-creditor relationship between the Borrower and any Mezzanine Lender.

3.3. Loss Proceeds Account.

(a) On or prior to the Closing Date, Borrower shall establish and thereafter maintain with the Cash Management Bank an account for the purpose of depositing any Loss Proceeds in accordance with Section 5.16 (the “Loss Proceeds Account”).

(b) Provided no Event of Default is continuing, funds in the Loss Proceeds Account shall be administered and applied in accordance with Section 5.16.

3.4. Taxes, Ground Rents and Insurance Reserve Account.

(a) On or prior to the Closing Date, Borrower shall establish and thereafter maintain with the Cash Management Bank an account for the purpose of reserving amounts payable by Borrower (or, as applicable, TRS Lessee) in respect of Taxes, Ground Rents and insurance premiums (the “Tax, Ground Rents and Insurance Reserve Account”).

 

58


(b) On the Closing Date, the Tax, Ground Rents and Insurance Reserve Account shall be funded from the proceeds of the Loan in an amount equal to the sum of (i) an amount sufficient to pay all Taxes by the 30th day prior to the date they come due, assuming subsequent monthly fundings on Payment Dates of 1/12 of projected annual Taxes, plus (ii) an amount sufficient to pay all Ground Rents by the 30th day prior to the date they come due, assuming subsequent monthly fundings on Payment Dates of 1/12 of projected annual Ground Rents, plus (iii) if a blanket insurance policy is not maintained pursuant to Section 3.4(e), an amount sufficient to pay all insurance premiums by the 30th day prior to the date they come due, assuming subsequent monthly fundings on Payment Dates of 1/12 of projected annual insurance premiums.

(c) On each subsequent Payment Date, Borrower shall make an additional deposit therein in an amount equal to the sum of:

(i) 1/12 of the Taxes that Lender reasonably estimates, based on information provided by Borrower, will be payable during the next ensuing 12 months, plus

(ii) 1/12 of the Ground Rents that Lender reasonably estimates, based on information provided by Borrower, will be payable during the next ensuing 12 months, plus

(iii) subject to Section 3.4(e), 1/12 of the insurance premiums that Lender reasonably estimates, based on information provided by Borrower, will be payable during the next ensuing 12 months;

provided, however, that if at any time Lender reasonably determines that the amount in the Taxes, Ground Rents and Insurance Reserve Account will not be sufficient to accumulate (upon payment of subsequent monthly amounts in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement) the full amount of all installments of Taxes, Ground Rents and, subject to Section 3.4(e), insurance premiums by the date on which such amounts come due, then Lender shall notify Borrower of such determination and Borrower shall increase its monthly payments to the Taxes, Ground Rents and Insurance Reserve Account by the amount that Lender reasonably estimates is sufficient to achieve such accumulation; provided further, however, that if any Mortgaged Property is released pursuant to Section 2.2 or Section 7.1(k), Borrower shall decrease its monthly payments to the Taxes, Ground Rents and Insurance Reserve Account to an amount that Borrower reasonably estimates is sufficient to adequately fund the Taxes, Ground Rents and Insurance Reserve Account.

(d) Borrower shall provide Lender with copies of all tax, Ground Rents and, subject to Section 3.4(e), insurance bills relating to each Mortgaged Property promptly after Borrower’s or TRS Lessee’s receipt thereof. Lender will apply amounts in the Taxes, Ground Rents and Insurance Reserve Account toward the purposes for which such amounts are deposited therein and, provided no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the failure by Borrower to satisfy any payment covenants in respect of Taxes, Ground Rents and insurance premiums (provided, in the case of insurance premiums, that Borrower is then obligated to reserve amounts in respect of insurance premiums in accordance with Section 3.4(e)) under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents shall not be deemed a breach of such covenant

 

59


and shall not, in itself, result in a Default or Event of Default hereunder or under any of the other Loan Documents. In connection with the making of any payment from the Taxes, Ground Rents and Insurance Reserve Account, Lender may cause such payment to be made according to any bill, statement or estimate procured from the appropriate public office, ground lessor or insurance carrier, without inquiry into the accuracy of such bill, statement or estimate or into the validity of any tax, assessment, sale, forfeiture, tax lien or title or claim thereof unless given written advance notice by Borrower of such inaccuracy, invalidity or other contest.

(e) Notwithstanding the foregoing, Borrower shall have no obligation to reserve funds in the Taxes, Ground Rents and Insurance Reserve Account in respect of insurance premiums on the Closing Date, to provide additional payments in respect of insurance premiums pursuant to Section 3.4(c) or to provide insurance bills pursuant to Section 3.4(d), in each case, so long as Borrower delivers evidence to Lender that the insurance required hereunder is maintained under Sponsor’s blanket insurance policy and that the applicable insurance premiums have been paid in advance.

3.5. Cash Reserve Account

(a) On or prior to the Closing Date, Borrower shall establish and thereafter maintain with the Cash Management Bank an account for the deposit of amounts, if any, required to be deposited therein pursuant to Sections 2.2 in respect of Excess Transfer Proceeds in connection with the release of a Mortgaged Property (the “Cash Reserve Account”).

(b) Borrower shall have the right to require Lender to cause a disbursement from the Cash Reserve Account, to the extent funds are available therein, for application toward prepayment of the Loan and the Mezzanine Loan on a pro-rata basis in accordance with Section 2.2 (and Lender is hereby directed and authorized to cause such disbursement if an Event of Default occurs hereunder or under and as defined in the Mezzanine Loan Documents).

3.6. FF&E Reserve Account.

(a) On or prior to the Closing Date, Borrower shall establish and thereafter maintain with the Cash Management Bank an account for the purpose of reserving amounts in respect of FF&E (the “FF&E Reserve Account”).

(b) On each Payment Date, there shall be deposited into the FF&E Reserve Account Cash Collateral in an amount equal to the Monthly FF&E Reserve Amount. In the event that any Mortgaged Property is released pursuant to Section 2.2 or Section 7.1(k) subsequent to a determination of the Monthly FF&E Reserve Amount, the Monthly FF&E Reserve Amount shall be appropriately adjusted in accordance with the definition thereof.

(c) Any amount (or portion thereof) required to be deposited into the FF&E Reserve Account pursuant to this Agreement may, at Borrower’s election, be provided instead in the form of one or more Qualified Letters of Credit (and provided no Event of Default is continuing, Borrower shall have the right to replace any amounts theretofore deposited into the

 

60


FF&E Reserve Account with one or more Qualified Letters of Credit, whereupon the amount so replaced shall be remitted to Borrower). Lender shall be entitled to draw on such Letters of Credit, and hold the proceeds of such draws as additional Collateral, immediately and without further notice, (a) upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, (b) if Borrower shall not have delivered to Lender, no less than 30 days prior to the termination of any such letter of credit, a replacement Qualified Letter of Credit, or (c) if Borrower shall not have delivered to Lender, within 10 days after the issuer of such letter of credit ceases to be an Eligible Institution, a replacement Qualified Letter of Credit. Borrower shall have the right, by written request to Lender from time to time, to reduce the aggregate notional amount of such Qualified Letters of Credit to the amount that would then be contained in the FF&E Reserve Account had Borrower not made the election to provide Qualified Letters of Credit in lieu of cash. If a Mezzanine Lender acquires direct or indirect equity interests in Borrower through foreclosure or a transfer in lieu of foreclosure and Borrower has delivered to Lender a Qualified Letter of Credit pursuant hereto, then Borrower shall promptly deposit into the FF&E Reserve Account additional Cash Collateral such that the FF&E Reserve Account contains the amount that would be contained therein had Borrower instead made monthly cash deposits into such account as set forth in Section 3.6(b) and subsequently withdrawn therefrom all amounts that would have been permitted to be withdrawn pursuant to Section 3.6(d) (and if Borrower fails to do so, then Lender shall have the right to draw on the Qualified Letter of Credit and deposit the proceeds thereof into the FF&E Reserve Account).

(d) Upon the request of Borrower at any time that no Event of Default is continuing (but not more often than once per calendar month), Lender shall cause disbursements to Borrower, or at Borrower’s request, TRS Lessee, from the FF&E Reserve Account to reimburse Borrower or TRS Lessee for the cost of FF&E (or, if applicable, shall permit the reduction of the amount of the Qualified Letter of Credit by the amount that would have been so disbursed, provided that such reductions shall be permitted only in minimum increments equal to the lesser of (x) $1,000,000 or (y) the amount then contained in such Collateral Account); provided that:

(i) Borrower shall deliver to Lender invoices evidencing that the costs for which such disbursements, reductions or release are requested are due and payable;

(ii) Borrower shall deliver to Lender an Officer’s Certificate confirming that all such costs have been previously paid by Borrower or TRS Lessee or will be paid from the proceeds of the requested disbursement (or otherwise); and

(iii) Lender may condition the making of a requested disbursement on reasonable evidence establishing that Borrower or TRS Lessee has applied any amounts previously received by it in accordance with this Section (or has otherwise paid) for the expenses to which specific draws, reductions and/or releases made hereunder relate.

3.7. Deferred Maintenance and Environmental Reserve Account.

(a) On or prior to the Closing Date, Borrower shall establish and thereafter maintain with the Cash Management Bank an account for the purpose of reserving amounts anticipated to be required to correct Deferred Maintenance Conditions (the “Deferred Maintenance and Environmental Reserve Account”).

 

61


(b) On the Closing Date, Borrower shall deposit or deliver Sufficient Reserve Collateral in an aggregate amount equal to the Deferred Maintenance Amount, with any Cash Collateral so delivered to be withheld by Lender from the proceeds of the Loan that would otherwise be advanced to Borrower pursuant to Section 1.1 and held in the Deferred Maintenance and Environmental Reserve Account. If a Mezzanine Lender acquires direct or indirect equity interests in Borrower through foreclosure or a transfer in lieu of foreclosure and Borrower has delivered to Lender a Qualified Letter of Credit in respect of all or a portion of the Sufficient Reserve Collateral required by this Section 3.7(b), then Borrower shall promptly deposit into the Deferred Maintenance and Environmental Reserve Account additional Cash Collateral such that the Deferred Maintenance and Environmental Reserve Account contains the amount that would be contained therein had Borrower deposited the initial Deferred Maintenance Amount therein on the Closing Date and subsequently withdrawn therefrom all amounts that would have been permitted to be withdrawn pursuant to Section 3.7(c) (and if Borrower fails to do so, then Lender shall have the right to draw on the Qualified Letter of Credit and deposit the proceeds thereof into the Deferred Maintenance and Environmental Reserve Account).

(c) Borrower shall correct the Deferred Maintenance Conditions in a diligent, workmanlike manner and shall substantially complete the same within the respective time periods set forth in Schedule F, subject, in each case, to extension on account of delays resulting from force majeure. Upon the request of Borrower at any time that no Event of Default is continuing (but not more often than once per calendar month), Lender shall cause disbursements to Borrower, or at Borrower’s request, TRS Lessee, from the Deferred Maintenance and Environmental Reserve Account to reimburse Borrower (or advance sums necessary to pay) for reasonable costs and expenses incurred in order to correct Deferred Maintenance Conditions (or, if applicable, shall permit the reduction of the amount of the Qualified Letter of Credit by the amount that would have been so disbursed, provided that such reductions shall be permitted only in minimum increments equal to the lesser of (x) $1,000,000 or (y) the amount then contained in such Collateral Account), provided that

(i) Borrower shall deliver to Lender invoices evidencing that the costs for which such disbursements, reductions or releases are requested are due and payable;

(ii) Borrower shall deliver to Lender an Officer’s Certificate confirming that all such costs have been previously paid by Borrower or will be paid from the proceeds of the requested disbursement (or otherwise); and

(iii) Lender may condition the making of a requested disbursement on (1) reasonable evidence establishing that Borrower or TRS Lessee has applied any amounts previously received by it in accordance with this Section (or has otherwise paid) for the expenses to which specific draws made hereunder relate, (2) reasonably satisfactory site inspections, if the cost of the contemplated work exceeds $500,000, and, (3) receipt of conditional lien releases and waivers from any contractors, subcontractors and others with respect to such amounts if such amounts exceed $100,000 (provided that, with respect to any amounts to be paid from the requested disbursement, Borrower shall deliver to Lender, on or prior to the following Payment Date, lien releases and waivers in respect of such amounts if the costs thereof exceed $100,000).

 

62


(d) If Borrower satisfies all or any portion of its obligation under Section 3.7(b) by providing a letter of credit which at any time ceases to be a Qualified Letter of Credit, Borrower shall, within 10 Business Days thereafter, make the necessary deliveries to Lender and/or deposits in the Deferred Maintenance and Environmental Reserve Account to cause Sufficient Reserve Collateral to be reserved and/or deposited, as applicable, in respect of Borrower’s obligations under this Section 3.7 in the amount that would be contained therein had Borrower deposited the Deferred Maintenance Amount in the Deferred Maintenance and Environmental Reserve Account on the Closing Date and subsequently withdrawn therefrom all amounts that would have been permitted to be withdrawn therefrom pursuant to Section 3.7(c). In addition, if Borrower delivers or causes to be delivered (at any time and from time to time) a Qualified Letter of Credit to Lender on account of all or any portion of the amounts required to be reserved and/or delivered in respect of this Section 3.7, then, so long as Sufficient Reserve Collateral remains following such disbursement and no Event of Default is continuing, the Cash Collateral (or a portion thereof) then contained in the Deferred Maintenance and Environmental Reserve Account shall be promptly disbursed to Borrower upon Borrower’s written request.

(e) Upon substantial completion (as reasonably determined by Lender) of the portion of the Deferred Maintenance Conditions identified on any line on Schedule F, and provided no Event of Default is then continuing, the remainder of the portion of the Cash Collateral held in the Deferred Maintenance Reserve Account for such line item (as shown adjacent to such line item on Schedule F) shall promptly be remitted to the Cash Management Account (or, if applicable, the amount of the Qualified Letter of Credit shall be reduced by the amount that would have been so remitted or released or returned, and Lender shall cooperate in any such reduction, release or return). Upon the correcting of all Deferred Maintenance Conditions, provided no Event of Default is then continuing, any Cash Collateral then remaining in the Deferred Maintenance Reserve Account shall promptly be remitted to the Cash Management Account (or, if applicable, the Qualified Letter of Credit shall be returned or released) and the Deferred Maintenance Account will no longer be maintained.

(f) Promptly upon the release of any Mortgaged Property pursuant to Section 2.2 or Section 7.1(k), any amount of Cash Collateral held in the Deferred Maintenance and Environmental Reserve Account allocable to such Mortgaged Property shall be remitted to the Cash Management Account (or, if applicable, and no Event of Default is then continuing, the Qualified Letter of Credit shall be reduced accordingly, and Lender will cooperate in effecting such reduction, release or return).

3.8. Required Capital Expenditure Reserve Account.

(a) On or prior to the Closing Date, Borrower shall establish and thereafter maintain with the Cash Management Bank an account for the purpose of reserving the cost of the Required Capital Expenditures (the “Required Capital Expenditure Reserve Account”).

 

63


(b) On the Closing Date, Borrower shall deposit with or deliver to Lender Sufficient Reserve Collateral in an aggregate amount equal to the Required Capital Expenditure Amount, with any Cash Collateral so delivered to be funded from the proceeds of the Loan and held in the Required Capital Expenditure Reserve Account. If a Mezzanine Lender acquires direct or indirect equity interests in Borrower through foreclosure or a transfer in lieu of foreclosure and Borrower has delivered to Lender a Qualified Letter of Credit in respect of all or a portion of the Sufficient Reserve Collateral required by this Section 3.8(b), then Borrower shall promptly deposit into the Required Capital Expenditure Reserve Account additional Cash Collateral such that the Required Capital Expenditure Account contains the amount that would be contained therein had Borrower deposited the initial Required Capital Expenditure Amount therein on the Closing Date and subsequently withdrawn therefrom all amounts that would have been permitted to be withdrawn pursuant to Section 3.8(c) (and if Borrower fails to do so, then Lender shall have the right to draw on the Qualified Letter of Credit and deposit the proceeds thereof into the Required Capital Expenditure Reserve Account).

(c) During the initial term of the Loan, Borrower shall substantially complete the Required Capital Expenditures, subject to delay on account of force majeure; provided that with respect to Required Capital Expenditures that are specified in a Property Improvement Plan, if any Approved Franchisor extends the deadline to complete the applicable Required Capital Expenditures with respect to any Mortgaged Property to a date occurring after the expiration of the initial term of the Loan (notice of which extension shall be promptly provided by Borrower to Lender in writing), such Required Capital Expenditures shall be substantially completed no later than the extended deadline required by the applicable Approved Franchisor, subject to delay on account of force majeure. Subject to delay on account of force majeure, failure to substantially complete the Required Capital Expenditures and deliver reasonable documentation evidencing the same to Lender prior to the end of the applicable period for substantial completion of such Required Capital Expenditures (i.e., the expiration of the initial term of the Loan, subject to any extension pursuant to the preceding sentence) shall constitute an Event of Default. Borrower shall apply the Required Capital Expenditure Amount toward completion of the Required Capital Expenditures up to the respective amounts specified in Schedule J in accordance with the following sentences and provisions. Upon the request of Borrower at any time that no Event of Default is continuing (but not more often than once per calendar month), Lender shall cause disbursements to Borrower or, at Borrower’s request, TRS Lessee, from the Required Capital Expenditure Reserve Account to reimburse Borrower or TRS Lessee for reasonable costs and expenses incurred in order to perform Required Capital Expenditures (and/or, as applicable, shall permit the reduction of the amount of the Qualified Letter of Credit delivered to Lender by the amount that would have been so disbursed, provided that such reductions shall be permitted only in minimum increments equal to the lesser of (x) $1,000,000 or (y) the amount then contained in such Collateral Account), provided that

(i) Borrower shall deliver to Lender invoices evidencing that the costs for which such disbursement(s) (and/or reduction(s), as applicable) are requested are due and payable;

(ii) Borrower shall deliver to Lender an Officer’s Certificate confirming that all such costs have been previously paid by Borrower or TRS Lessee or will be paid from the proceeds of the requested disbursement (or otherwise); and

 

64


(iii) Lender may condition the making of a requested disbursement on (1) reasonable evidence establishing that Borrower or TRS Lessee has applied any amounts previously received by it in accordance with this Section for the expenses to which specific draws made hereunder relate, (2) reasonably satisfactory site inspections, if the contemplated work exceeds more than $500,000, and (3) receipt of conditional lien releases and waivers from any contractors, subcontractors and others with respect to such amounts if the costs exceed $100,000 (provided that, with respect to any amounts to be paid from the requested disbursement, Borrower shall deliver to Lender, on or prior to the following Payment Date, lien releases and waivers in respect of such amounts if the costs thereof exceed $100,000).

(d) In the event that Borrower amends any Property Improvement Plan, with the result that the aggregate amount required to be spent thereunder is increased, Borrower shall promptly deliver to Lender an Officer’s Certificate certifying such amendment and shall promptly deliver to Lender cash for deposit in the Required Capital Expenditure Reserve Account and/or a Qualified Letter of Credit in an aggregate amount equal to such increase.

(e) Provided no Event of Default is then continuing, Borrower shall, from time to time, have the right, following prior written notice to Lender, to reallocate the Allocated Required Capital Expenditure Amounts among the Mortgaged Properties, provided that no Mortgaged Property’s Required Capital Expenditure Amount shall be increased or decreased by more than 15%, and provided further that such reallocation is reasonably expected to enhance the value of the Mortgaged Properties to which such amounts are reallocated and Borrower delivers to Lender an Officer’s Certificate certifying the same, together with revised versions of the applicable Property Improvement Plans (which shall be subject to Lender’s reasonable approval). The Allocated Required Capital Expenditure Amounts as so revised shall thereafter replace and update the Allocated Required Capital Expenditure Amounts theretofore in effect for all purposes under the Loan Documents. A schedule specifying Borrower’s calculation of such revised Allocated Required Capital Expenditure Amounts shall be attached to the Officer’s Certificate required under the second preceding sentence.

(f) If Borrower satisfies its obligation under Section 3.8(b) by providing a letter of credit which at any time ceases to be a Qualified Letter of Credit, Borrower shall, within 10 Business Days thereafter, make the necessary deliveries to Lender and/or deposits in the Required Capital Expenditure Reserve Account to cause Sufficient Reserve Collateral to be reserved and/or deposited, as applicable, in respect of Borrower’s obligations under this Section 3.8 in the amount that would be contained Required Capital Expenditures Reserve Account had Borrower deposited the Required Capital Expenditure Amount in the Required Capital Expenditure Reserve Account on the Closing Date and subsequently withdrawn therefrom all amounts that would have been permitted to be withdrawn therefrom pursuant to Section 3.8(c). In addition, if Borrower delivers or causes to be delivered (at any time and from time to time) a Qualified Letter of Credit to Lender on account of all or any portion of the amounts required to be reserved and/or delivered in respect of this Section 3.8, then, so long as Sufficient Reserve Collateral remains following such disbursement and no Event of Default is continuing, the Cash Collateral (or a portion thereof) then contained in the Required Capital Expenditure Reserve Account shall be promptly disbursed to Borrower upon Borrower’s written request.

 

65


(g) On a quarterly basis, on or prior to the date on which Borrower delivers to Lender its quarterly financial statements pursuant to Section 5.13, Borrower shall deliver to Lender a report detailing the status of completion of the Required Capital Expenditures on a Mortgaged Property-by-Mortgaged Property basis.

(h) Any Cash Collateral remaining in the Capital Expenditure Reserve Account following completion of the Required Capital Expenditures, as evidenced by the delivery of a report to Lender pursuant to Section 3.8(g) above confirming same, shall be retained in such account and shall only be disbursed to Borrower to reimburse Borrower for the reasonable costs and expenses to perform Capital Expenditures and/or for the cost of FF&E with respect to one or more of the Mortgaged Properties (and the amount of any Qualified Letter of Credit delivered to Lender in respect of all or a portion of the Capital Expenditure Amount shall, without duplication, only be reduced in connection with such costs, subject to the minimum incremental reductions specified above), subject, in each case, to satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Sections 3.6(d)(i) through (iii) and Sections 3.8(c)(i) through (iii), as applicable.

(i) Provided that no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, if any Mortgaged Property is released pursuant to Section 2.2 or Section 7.1(k), at Borrower’s request, any amount held by Lender in respect of Unspent Allocated Required Capital Expenditure Amounts related to such Mortgaged Property and not reallocated to other Mortgaged Properties as provided in Section 3.8(e) above, shall, at Borrower’s option, either (x) remain in the Required Capital Expenditures Reserve Account to be applied to Capital Expenditures in respect of the Mortgaged Properties in accordance herewith or (y) be applied toward prepayment of the Loan and the Mezzanine Loans on a pro-rata basis in accordance with Section 2.1; provided, however, if the Unspent Allocated Required Capital Expenditure Amounts related to such Mortgaged Property is held in the form of a Qualified Letter of Credit, as opposed to Cash Collateral, then Borrower shall be entitled to a reduction or return of such Qualified Letter of Credit in an amount equal to the then Unspent Allocated Required Capital Expenditure Amount only upon the making of a prepayment in such amount as set forth in clause (y) above, and in such event Lender shall cooperate in effecting such reduction or return.

3.9. Low Debt Yield Reserve Account.

(a) On or prior to the Closing Date, Borrower shall establish and thereafter maintain with the Cash Management Bank an account for the deposit of amounts required to be deposited therein in accordance with Section 3.2(b)(xiii) (the “Low Debt Yield Reserve Account”).

(b) Provided that no Event of Default is then continuing, Lender shall release to the Cash Management Account all amounts then contained in the Low Debt Yield Reserve Account on the first Payment Date after Borrower delivers to Lender evidence reasonably satisfactory to Lender establishing that neither a Trigger Period nor an Initial Cash Flow Reserve Period is then continuing. Such a release shall not preclude the subsequent commencement of a Trigger Period and the deposit of amounts into the Low Debt Yield Reserve Account as set forth in Section 3.2(b)(xiii).

 

66


(c) During the continuance of the Initial Cash Flow Reserve Period or any Trigger Period, provided no Event of Default is continuing, Lender shall release to Borrower on any Payment Date, on not less than five Business Days’ prior written notice, any amount then contained in the Low Debt Yield Reserve Account for application toward Operating Expenses or Capital Expenditures otherwise permitted hereunder, in each case as evidenced by an Officer’s Certificate specifying such expenses and certifying that the amounts contained in the other Collateral Accounts will be insufficient to pay such expenses (Borrower agreeing that, in the event that amounts so remitted from the Low Debt Yield Reserve Account exceed the expenses for which they were intended, and so long as an Initial Cash Flow Reserve Period, Trigger Period, Mezzanine Loan Event of Default or Event of Default is then continuing, such excess amounts shall be remitted by Borrower to the Cash Management Account prior to the next succeeding Payment Date).

(d) During the continuance of the Initial Cash Flow Reserve Period, provided no Event of Default or Trigger Period is continuing, Lender shall release to Operating Partnership on not less than five Business Days’ prior written notice from Borrower, from and to the extent of amounts then contained in the Low Debt Yield Reserve Account, the amount (the “Preferred Equity Distribution Amount”) required to be distributed in respect of required periodic dividends or similar payments with respect to the existing preferred equity heretofore issued by the Operating Partnership or its subsidiary, as evidenced by a reasonably detailed Officer’s Certificate. If the amounts so remitted from the Low Debt Yield Reserve Account exceed the Preferred Equity Distribution Amount, and so long as an Initial Cash Flow Reserve Period, Trigger Period, Mezzanine Loan Event of Default or Event of Default is then continuing, Borrower shall cause such excess amounts to be remitted to the Cash Management Account prior to the next succeeding Payment Date.

(e) During the continuance of the a Trigger Period, provided no Event of Default is continuing and the Sponsor Guaranty has theretofore terminated in accordance with its terms, Lender shall release to Operating Partnership on not less than five Business Days’ prior written notice the lesser of (x) the Preferred Equity Distribution Amount or (y) the amount by which the balance in the Low Debt Yield Reserve Account exceeds the amount that would be contained therein if the Operating Partnership had made no remittances to the Cash Management Account subsequent to the payment of the previous Preferred Equity Distribution Amount, as evidenced by a reasonably detailed Officer’s Certificate. If the amounts so remitted from the Low Debt Yield Reserve Account exceed the Preferred Equity Distribution Amount, and so long as an Initial Cash Flow Reserve Period, Trigger Period, Mezzanine Loan Event of Default or Event of Default is then continuing, Borrower shall cause such excess amounts to be remitted to the Cash Management Account prior to the next succeeding Payment Date.

(f) During the continuance of the Initial Cash Flow Reserve Period or any Trigger Period, provided no Event of Default is continuing, Lender shall release to Borrower from the Low Debt Yield Reserve Account on any Payment Date, on not less than five Business Days’ prior written notice, the amount, not to exceed $3,000 per annum, that is required to be remitted to indirect minority equityholders of the Operating Partnership in order to maintain the REIT status of the Operating Partnership’s equityholder (as evidenced by an Officer’s Certificate to such effect).

 

67


3.10. Debt Service Reserve Account

(a) On or prior to the Closing Date, Borrower shall establish and thereafter maintain with the Cash Management Bank an account for the purpose of reserving the Debt Service Reserve Amount (the “Debt Service Reserve Account”).

(b) On the Closing Date, Borrower shall deposit or deliver Sufficient Reserve Collateral in an aggregate amount equal to the Debt Service Reserve Amount, with any Cash Collateral so delivered to be withheld by Lender from the proceeds of the Loan that would otherwise be advanced to Borrower pursuant to Section 1.1 and held in the Debt Service Reserve Account. If a Mezzanine Lender acquires direct or indirect equity interests in Borrower through foreclosure or a transfer in lieu of foreclosure and Borrower has delivered to Lender a Qualified Letter of Credit in respect of all or a portion of the Sufficient Reserve Collateral required by this Section 3.10(b), then Borrower shall promptly deposit into the Debt Service Reserve Account additional Cash Collateral such that the Debt Service Reserve Account contains the amount that would be contained therein had Borrower deposited the initial Debt Service Reserve Amount therein on the Closing Date (and if Borrower fails to do so, then Lender shall have the right to draw on the Qualified Letter of Credit and deposit the proceeds thereof into the Debt Service Reserve Account).

(c) So long as no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing (other than an Event of Default that would be cured through the application of this paragraph), to the extent that the Cash Management Account does not contain sufficient funds to pay the monthly scheduled or delinquent interest on the Loan pursuant to Sections 3.2(b)(ii) and (vi) through (xii) in full on any Payment Date after remittance of the amounts described in Sections 3.2(b)(i), 3.2(b)(iii) and 3.2(b)(iv), and such shortfall does not result from a failure by Borrower to deposit or cause to be deposited funds into the Collateral Accounts as required under the Loan Documents, then on such Payment Date Lender will, upon receipt of an Officer’s Certificate from Borrower certifying as to the foregoing, disburse to the Cash Management Account from the Debt Service Reserve Account (to the extent of amounts contained therein) the amount necessary to make such interest payment to the extent of such shortfall. For avoidance of doubt, Lender shall have no obligation and does not expect to make monthly draws on any Qualified Letter of Credit provided in lieu of a cash deposit into the Debt Service Reserve Account, as such Qualified Letter of Credit would be intended to provide collateral for Borrower’s obligations hereunder and not to provide liquidity.

(d) The Debt Service Reserve Account shall be maintained in accordance with this Section 3.10 until the conclusion of the second of any two Test Periods ending in consecutive Fiscal Quarters (whether or not in the same fiscal or calendar years) during each of which Test Periods the DSCR is greater than 1.15 (the “Debt Service Reserve Release Threshold”). In the event that the DSCR Release Threshold is satisfied for any such two Test Periods ending in consecutive Fiscal Quarters, and provided no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, (w) Lender shall cause any Cash Collateral then contained in the Debt Service Reserve Account to be remitted to the Cash Management Account, (x) Lender shall return to Borrower any Qualified Letter of Credit delivered in accordance with Section 3.10(b), (y) Borrower shall have the right to close the Debt Service Reserve Account and (z) Borrower shall

 

68


have no further obligations under this Section 3.10 from and after such date. In no event shall Borrower have any obligation to replenish amounts in the Debt Service Reserve Account whether in the form of Cash Collateral or Qualified Letter of Credit.

(e) If Borrower satisfies its obligation under Section 3.10(b) by providing a letter of credit which at any time ceases to be a Qualified Letter of Credit, Borrower shall, within 10 Business Days thereafter, make the necessary deliveries to Lender and/or deposits in the Debt Service Reserve Account to cause Sufficient Reserve Collateral to be reserved and/or deposited, as applicable, in respect of Borrower’s obligations under this Section 3.10 in the amount that would be contained in the Debt Service Reserve Account had Borrower deposited the Debt Service Reserve Amount in the Debt Service Reserve Account on the Closing Date and amounts therein had subsequently been applied pursuant to Section 3.10. In addition, if Borrower delivers or causes to be delivered (at any time and from time to time) a Qualified Letter of Credit to Lender on account of all or any portion of the amounts required to be reserved and/or delivered in respect of this Section 3.10, then, so long as Sufficient Reserve Collateral remains following such disbursement, the Cash Collateral (or a portion thereof) then contained in the Debt Service Reserve Account shall be promptly disbursed to Borrower upon Borrower’s written request.

3.11 Unfunded Obligations Account.

(a) On or prior to the Closing Date, if the Unfunded Obligations Amount is greater than zero, Borrower shall establish and thereafter maintain with the Cash Management Bank an account for the purpose of reserving for Unfunded Obligations required to be funded by Borrower (the “Unfunded Obligations Account”).

(b) On the Closing Date, Borrower shall deposit or deliver Sufficient Reserve Collateral in an aggregate amount equal to the Unfunded Obligations Amount, with any Cash Collateral so delivered to be withheld by Lender from the proceeds of the Loan that would otherwise be advanced to Borrower pursuant to Section 1.1 and held in the Unfunded Obligations Account. If a Mezzanine Lender acquires direct or indirect equity interests in Borrower through foreclosure or a transfer in lieu of foreclosure and Borrower has delivered to Lender a Qualified Letter of Credit in respect of all or a portion of the Sufficient Reserve Collateral required by this Section 3.11(b), then Borrower shall promptly deposit into the Unfunded Obligations Account additional Cash Collateral such that the Unfunded Obligations Account contains the amount that would be contained therein had Borrower deposited the Unfunded Obligations Amount therein on the Closing Date and subsequently withdrawn therefrom all amounts that would have been permitted to be withdrawn pursuant to Section 3.11(c) (and if Borrower fails to do so, then Lender shall have the right to draw on the Qualified Letter of Credit and deposit the proceeds thereof into the Unfunded Obligations Account).

(c) Borrower shall perform, or cause TRS Lessee to perform, its obligations in respect of the Unfunded Obligations when and as due under the respective Leases or other agreements. Upon the request of Borrower at any time that no Event of Default is continuing (but not more often than once per calendar month), Lender shall cause disbursements to Borrower, or at Borrower’s request, TRS Lessee, from the Unfunded Obligations Account to

 

69


reimburse Borrower or TRS Lessee (or advance sums necessary to pay) for reasonable costs and expenses incurred in the performance of the Unfunded Obligations (or, if applicable, shall permit the reduction of the amount of the Qualified Letter of Credit by the amount that would have been so disbursed, provided that such reductions shall be permitted only in minimum increments equal to the lesser of (x) $1,000,000 or (y) the amount then contained in such Collateral Account), provided that

(i) Borrower shall deliver to Lender invoices evidencing that the costs for which such disbursements, reductions or releases are requested are due and payable;

(ii) Borrower shall deliver to Lender an Officer’s Certificate confirming that all such costs have been previously paid by Borrower or TRS Lessee or will be paid from the proceeds of the requested disbursement (or otherwise); and

(iii) Lender may condition the making of a requested disbursement on (1) reasonable evidence establishing that Borrower or TRS Lessee has applied any amounts previously received by it in accordance with this Section (or otherwise paid) for the expenses to which specific draws made hereunder relate, (2) reasonably satisfactory site inspections, if the cost of the completed work exceeds $250,000, and (3) receipt of conditional lien releases and waivers from any contractors, subcontractors and others with respect to such amounts if such amounts exceed $100,000 (provided that, with respect to any amounts to be paid from the requested disbursement, Borrower shall deliver to Lender, on or prior to the following Payment Date, lien releases and waivers in respect of such amounts if the costs thereof exceed $100,000).

(d) If Borrower satisfies all or a portion of its obligation under Section 3.11(b) by providing a letter of credit which at any time ceases to be a Qualified Letter of Credit, Borrower shall, within 10 Business Days thereafter, make the necessary deliveries to Lender and/or deposits in the Unfunded Obligations Account to cause Sufficient Reserve Collateral to be reserved and/or deposited, as applicable, in respect of Borrower’s obligations under this Section 3.11 in the amount that would be contained in the Unfunded Obligations Account had Borrower deposited the Unfunded Amount in the Unfunded Obligations Account on the Closing Date and subsequently withdrawn therefrom all amounts that would have been permitted to be withdrawn therefrom pursuant to Section 3.11(c). In addition, if Borrower delivers or causes to be delivered (at any time and from time to time) a Qualified Letter of Credit to Lender on account of all or any portion of the amounts required to be reserved and/or delivered in respect of this Section 3.11, then, so long as Sufficient Reserve Collateral remains following such disbursement, the Cash Collateral (or a portion thereof) then contained in the Unfunded Obligations Account shall be promptly disbursed to Borrower upon Borrower’s written request.

(e) Upon payment or performance, as applicable, of the Unfunded Obligations identified on any line on Schedule L, and provided no Event of Default is then continuing, the remainder of the portion of the Unfunded Obligations Account held for such line item (as shown adjacent to such line item on Schedule L) shall promptly be remitted to Borrower, or at Borrower’s request, TRS Lessee. Upon the payment or performance in full of all Unfunded Obligations, provided no Event of Default is then continuing, any amounts then remaining in the Unfunded Obligations Account shall promptly be remitted to Borrower and the Unfunded Obligations Account will no longer be maintained.

 

70


(f) Promptly upon the release of any Mortgaged Property pursuant to Section 2.2 or Section 7.1(k), any amount of Cash Collateral held in the Unfunded Obligations Account allocable to such Mortgaged Property shall be remitted to the Cash Management Account (or, if applicable, and no Event of Default is then continuing, the Qualified Letter of Credit shall be reduced accordingly, and Lender will cooperate in effecting such reduction, release or return).

3.12 Account Collateral.

(a) Borrower hereby grants a perfected first-priority security interest in favor of Lender in and to the Account Collateral as security for the Indebtedness, together with all rights of a secured party with respect thereto. Each Collateral Account shall be an Eligible Account under the sole dominion and control of Lender and shall be in the name of Borrower, as pledgor, and Lender, as pledgee. Borrower shall have no right to make withdrawals from any of the Collateral Accounts. Funds in the Collateral Accounts shall not be commingled with any other monies at any time. Borrower shall execute any additional documents that Lender in its reasonable discretion may require and shall provide all other evidence reasonably requested by Lender to evidence or perfect its first-priority security interest in the Account Collateral.

(b) The insufficiency of amounts contained in the Collateral Accounts shall not relieve Borrower from its obligation to fulfill all covenants contained in the Loan Documents.

3.13. Permitted Investments.

(a) Funds in the Collateral Account shall be invested at Lender’s discretion only in Permitted Investments.

(b) All income and gains from the investment of funds in the Collateral Accounts other than the Taxes, Ground Rents and Insurance Reserve Account shall be retained in the Collateral Accounts (unless and until disbursed in accordance with the terms hereof) from which they were derived and shall belong to Borrower, subject to Lender’s Lien thereon. Unless otherwise required by applicable law, all income and gains from the investment of funds in the Taxes, Ground Rents and Insurance Escrow Account shall be for the account of Lender in consideration of its administration of such Collateral Account, and Lender shall have the right at any time to cause the Cash Management Bank to remit such amounts to Lender. The insufficiency of amounts contained in the Collateral Accounts shall not relieve Borrower from its obligation to fulfill all covenants contained in the Loan Documents. As between Borrower and Lender, Borrower (or Lender with respect to the Taxes, Ground Rents and Insurance Escrow Account, to the extent of any income actually received with respect thereto) shall treat all income, gains and losses from the investment of amounts in the Collateral Accounts as its income or loss for federal, state and local income tax purposes.

 

71


(c) During the continuance of an Event of Default, Lender may, in its sole discretion, apply funds in the Collateral Accounts, and funds resulting from the liquidation of Permitted Investments contained in the Collateral Accounts, either toward the components of the Indebtedness (e.g., interest, principal and other amounts payable hereunder), the Loan and the Note Components in such sequence as Lender shall elect in its sole discretion, and/or toward the payment of Mortgaged Property expenses.

(d) After the Loan and all other Indebtedness have been repaid in full, and each of the Mezzanine Loans and all other “Indebtedness” under and as defined in each of the Mezzanine Loan Agreements has been repaid in full, the Collateral Accounts, to the extent not previously closed in accordance herewith, shall be closed and the balances therein, if any, shall be remitted to or at the direction of Borrower.

3.14. Bankruptcy. Borrower and Lender acknowledge and agree that upon the filing of a bankruptcy petition by or against Borrower under the Bankruptcy Code, the Account Collateral and the Revenues (whether then already in the Collateral Accounts, or then due or becoming due thereafter) shall be deemed not to be property of Borrower’s bankruptcy estate within the meaning of Section 541 of the Bankruptcy Code. If, however, a court of competent jurisdiction determines that, notwithstanding the foregoing characterization of the Account Collateral and the Revenues by Borrower and Lender, the Account Collateral and/or the Revenues do constitute property of Borrower’s bankruptcy estate, then Borrower and Lender further acknowledge and agree that all such Revenues, whether due and payable before or after the filing of the petition, are and shall be cash collateral of Lender. Borrower acknowledges that Lender does not consent to Borrower’s use of such cash collateral and that, in the event Lender elects (in its sole discretion) to give such consent, such consent shall only be effective if given in writing signed by Lender. Except as provided in the immediately preceding sentence, Borrower shall not have the right to use or apply or require the use or application of such cash collateral (i) unless Borrower shall have received a court order authorizing the use of the same, and (ii) Borrower shall have provided such adequate protection to Lender as shall be required by the bankruptcy court in accordance with the Bankruptcy Code.

3.15. Guaranty Reserves. If a Mezzanine Lender acquires direct or indirect equity interests in Borrower through foreclosure or a transfer in lieu of foreclosure, and if the Sponsor Guaranty has not theretofore terminated in accordance with its terms, then Borrower shall cause the Sponsor to promptly deposit into a new Eligible Account maintained with Lender, as additional Collateral for the Loan, the maximum amount guaranteed by the Sponsor Guaranty at such time (i.e., as such amount may have been reduced pursuant to the terms of the Sponsor Guaranty), and if Borrower fails to do so, then same shall constitute an Event of Default hereunder.

3.16. Nashville Reserve Account.

(a) On or prior to the Closing Date, Borrower shall establish and thereafter maintain with the Cash Management Bank an account for the purpose of reserving $3,379,400 million in respect of the Mortgaged Property located in Nashville, Tennessee and known as the Hampton Inn, Briley (the “Nashville Reserve Account”).

 

72


(b) On the Closing Date, Borrower shall deposit or deliver Sufficient Reserve Collateral in an aggregate amount equal to $3,379,400, with any Cash Collateral so delivered to be withheld by Lender from the proceeds of the Loan that would otherwise be advanced to Borrower pursuant to Section 1.1 and held in the Nashville Reserve Account. If a Mezzanine Lender acquires direct or indirect equity interests in Borrower through foreclosure or a transfer in lieu of foreclosure and Borrower has delivered to Lender a Qualified Letter of Credit in respect of all or a portion of the Sufficient Reserve Collateral required by this Section 3.16(b), then Borrower shall promptly deposit into the Nashville Reserve Account additional Cash Collateral such that the Nashville Reserve Account contains $3,379,400 (and if Borrower fails to do so, then Lender shall have the right to draw on the Qualified Letter of Credit and deposit the proceeds thereof into the Nashville Reserve Account).

(c) The amount contained in the Nashville Reserve Account shall be remitted into the Cash Management Account (and any Qualified Letter of Credit delivered to Lender pursuant to Section 3.16(b) shall be returned to Borrower) upon the earlier to occur of (x) receipt by Lender of an estoppel letter reasonably satisfactory to Lender that provides Lender with customary mortgagee protections satisfying rating agency requirements (and the equivalent in respect of the Mezzanine Loans), or (y) the Mortgaged Property located in Nashville, Tennessee and known as the Hampton Inn, Briley is released from the Collateral in accordance herewith.

(d) If Borrower satisfies all or any portion of its obligation under Section 3.7(b) by providing a letter of credit which at any time ceases to be a Qualified Letter of Credit, Borrower shall, within 10 Business Days thereafter, make the necessary deliveries to Lender and/or deposits in the Nashville Reserve Account to cause Lender to hold Sufficient Reserve Collateral in an amount equal to $3,379,400.

Except as set forth in the Engineering Reports with respect to the Mortgaged Properties, Borrower, TRS Lessee, Encumbered Property Owners, the Properties and the use thereof comply in all material respects with all applicable Insurance Requirements and Legal Requirements, including building and zoning ordinances and codes, except to the extent that non-compliance therewith would not reasonably be likely to have a Material Adverse Effect. To the extent necessary to avoid a Material Adverse Effect, each of the Properties conform to current zoning requirements (including requirements relating to parking) and is neither an illegal nor a legal nonconforming use. Except as set forth in the Engineering Report, none of Borrower, TRS Lessee or any Encumbered Property Owner is in default or violation of any order, writ, injunction, decree or demand of any Governmental Authority the violation of which could adversely affect the Properties or the condition (financial or otherwise) or business of Borrower or Encumbered Property Owners, which default or violation is reasonably likely to have a Material Adverse Effect or a Portfolio Material Adverse Effect. There has not been committed

 

75


by or on behalf of Borrower or, to the best of Borrower’s knowledge, any other person in occupancy of or involved with the operation or use of the Properties, any act or omission affording any federal Governmental Authority or any state or local Governmental Authority the right of forfeiture as against the Properties or any portion thereof or any monies paid in performance of its obligations under any of the Loan Documents. To Borrower’s knowledge, neither Borrower nor any Encumbered Property Owner has purchased any portion of the Properties with proceeds of any illegal activity.

Borrower does not have knowledge of any Person contemplating the filing of any such petition against it, TRS Lessee or any Encumbered Property Owner.

4.12. Other Debt. Neither Borrower nor TRS Lessee has outstanding any Debt other than Permitted Debt (except, in the case of any TRS Lessee that is also a lessee in respect of any Encumbered Property, Debt created by or expressly permitted under the corresponding Encumbered Property Indebtedness Documents).

76


4.14. Major Leases; TRS Leases; Material Agreements.

(a) There are no Major Leases as of the date hereof. Borrower has delivered to Lender true and complete copies of all of the TRS Leases. Except as set forth in the Exception Report, (i) no Person has any possessory interest in the Mortgaged Properties or right to occupy the same except under and pursuant to the provisions of (x) the Leases, (y) the Ground Leases and (z) the TRS Leases, (ii) no security deposits are being held by Borrower, (iii) no Tenant has any extension, renewal or termination options, (iv) no Tenant or other party has any option, right of first refusal or similar preferential right to purchase or lease all or any portion of the Mortgaged Properties, (v) no fixed rent has been paid more than 30 days in advance of its due date and (vi) no payments of rent are more than 30 days delinquent, in each of the foregoing cases, other than a party to a Lease which is not a Major Lease. Other than the Major Leases, there are no Leases the existence or termination of which is reasonably likely to have a Material Adverse Effect.

(b) Except as indicated in Schedule F, all work to be performed by the landlord under the Major Leases and TRS Leases has been substantially performed, all contributions to be made by the landlord to the Tenants thereunder have been made, all other conditions to each Tenant’s obligations thereunder have been satisfied, no Tenant has the right to require Borrower or TRS Lessee to perform or finance Tenant Improvements or Material Alterations and no Leasing Commissions are owed or would be owed upon the exercise of any such Tenant’s existing renewal or expansion options.

(c) There are no Material Agreements except as described in Schedule D. Borrower has made available to Lender true and complete copies of all Material Agreements. Each Material Agreement has been entered into at arm’s length in the ordinary course of business by or on behalf of Borrower or TRS Lessee.

(d) To Borrower’s knowledge, the Major Leases, TRS Leases and the Material Agreements are in full force and effect and there are no material defaults thereunder by Borrower, TRS Lessee or, to Borrower’s best knowledge, any other party thereto. Neither Borrower nor TRS Lessee is in default in any material respect in the performance, observance or fulfillment of any of the obligations, covenants or conditions contained in any Permitted Encumbrance or any other agreement or instrument to which it is a party or by which it or any of the Mortgaged Properties are bound.

4.15. Full and Accurate Disclosure. To Borrower’s knowledge, no statement of fact heretofore delivered by Borrower or its Affiliates to Lender in writing in respect of the Properties, TRS Lessee or Borrower, when considered together, contains any untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state any material fact necessary to make statements contained therein not misleading unless subsequently corrected. There is no fact presently actually known to Borrower which has not been disclosed to Lender which is reasonably likely to result in a Portfolio Material Adverse Effect.

 

77


4.16. Financial Condition. All financial data concerning Borrower, TRS Lessee and the Properties heretofore provided to Lender, taken as a whole, fairly presents in accordance with GAAP the financial position of Borrower and TRS Lessee in all material respects, as of the date on which it was made, and does not omit to state any fact necessary to make statements contained herein or therein not misleading. Since the delivery of such data, except as otherwise disclosed in writing to Lender, there have occurred no changes or circumstances which have had or are reasonably likely to result in a Portfolio Material Adverse Effect.

4.17. Single-Purpose Requirements; Qualified TRS Lessees. Each Borrower and any Single-Purpose Equityholder is now, and has always been since its formation, a Single-Purpose Entity. Each TRS Lessee is now a Qualified TRS Lessee.

4.18. Location of Chief Executive Offices. The location of Borrower’s principal place of business and chief executive office is the address listed in Section 9.4.

4.19. Not Foreign Person. Neither Borrower or TRS Lessee is a “foreign person” within the meaning of Section 1445(f)(3) of the Code.

4.20. Labor Matters. Neither Borrower nor TRS Lessee is a party to any collective bargaining agreements.

4.21. Title.

(a) Borrower owns good, marketable and insurable fee or leasehold title, as applicable, to the Mortgaged Properties and good and marketable title to the related personal property and FF&E (to the extent not owned by the tenants (including TRS Lessee), guests or employees at the Mortgaged Properties), to the Collateral Accounts and to any other Collateral (other than the TRS Lessee Pledged Collateral), in each case free and clear of all Liens whatsoever except the Permitted Encumbrances. The Mortgages, when properly recorded in the appropriate records, together with any Uniform Commercial Code financing statements required to be filed in connection therewith, will create (i) valid, perfected first priority Liens on the Mortgaged Properties (or, as applicable, Borrower’s ground leasehold estate ownership interest therein) and the rents therefrom, enforceable as such against creditors of and purchasers from Borrower and subject only to Permitted Encumbrances, and (ii) perfected Liens (pursuant to the Uniform Commercial Code of the State of Delaware) in and to all personalty owned by Borrower, all in accordance with the terms thereof, in each case subject only to any applicable Permitted Encumbrances. To Borrower’s knowledge, the Permitted Encumbrances do not and will not affect or interfere with the value, or current use or operation, of the Mortgaged Properties, or the security intended to be provided by the Mortgages or Borrower’s ability to repay the Indebtedness in accordance with the terms of the Loan Documents, in each case, other

 

78


than in a way that would not have a Material Adverse Effect. Except as indicated on a Qualified Title Insurance Policy, there are no claims for payment for work, labor or materials affecting the Mortgaged Properties which are or may become a Lien prior to, or of equal priority with, the Liens created by the Loan Documents. No creditor of Borrower other than Lender has in its possession any goods that constitute or evidence the Collateral.

(b) TRS Lessee owns good title to the TRS Lessee Pledged Collateral free and clear of all Liens whatsoever except the Permitted Encumbrances. The Mortgages, when properly recorded in the appropriate records, together with any Uniform Commercial Code financing statements required to be filed in connection therewith, will create (i) valid, perfected first priority Liens on the TRS Lessee Pledged Collateral, enforceable as such against creditors of and purchasers from TRS Lessee and subject only to Permitted Encumbrances, and (ii) perfected Liens (pursuant to the Uniform Commercial Code of the State of Delaware or other applicable State of organization of any TRS Lessee) in and to all personalty owned by TRS Lessee in connection with the Mortgaged Properties, all in accordance with the terms thereof, in each case subject only to any applicable Permitted Encumbrances. To Borrower’s knowledge, the Permitted Encumbrances do not and will not affect or interfere with the value, or current use or operation, of the TRS Lessee Pledged Collateral, or the security intended to be provided by the Mortgages, in each case, other than in a way that would not have a Material Adverse Effect. No creditor of TRS Lessee other than Lender has in its possession any goods that constitute or evidence the TRS Lessee Pledged Collateral.

(c) Each Encumbered Property Owner owns good, marketable and insurable fee or leasehold title, as applicable, to its respective Encumbered Property and good and marketable title to the related personal property (to the extent not owned by the tenants (including any operating lessee), guests or employees at the Encumbered Properties), in each case free and clear of all Liens whatsoever except for Liens securing the Encumbered Property Indebtedness and any Liens that would constitute “Permitted Encumbrances” hereunder or any analogous term under any of the Encumbered Property Indebtedness Documents.

4.22. No Encroachments. Except as shown on the Qualified Survey, all of the improvements on the Mortgaged Properties that were included in determining the appraised value of the Mortgaged Properties lie wholly within the boundaries and building restriction lines of the Mortgaged Properties, and no improvements on adjoining property encroach upon the Mortgaged Properties, and no easements or other encumbrances upon the Mortgaged Properties encroach upon any of the improvements, so as, in either case, to adversely affect the value or marketability of the Mortgaged Properties, except those which are indicated on a Qualified Title Insurance Policy.

4.23. Physical Condition.

(a) To Borrower’s knowledge, except for items set forth on Schedule F and in the Engineering Reports, the Mortgaged Properties (including sidewalks, storm drainage system, roof, plumbing system, HVAC system, fire protection system, electrical system, equipment, elevators, exterior sidings and doors, irrigation system and all structural components) are in good condition, order and repair in all respects material to its use, operation or value.

 

79


(b) Borrower is not aware of any material structural defect or damages in the Mortgaged Properties, whether latent or otherwise except for items set forth on Schedule F and in the Engineering Reports.

(c) Borrower has not received and is not aware of any other party’s receipt of notice from any insurance company or bonding company of any defects or inadequacies in the Mortgaged Properties which would, alone or in the aggregate, adversely affect in any material respect the insurability of the same or cause the imposition of extraordinary premiums or charges thereon or of any termination or threatened termination of any policy of insurance or bond.

(d) Except as set forth in the Exception Report, each Mortgaged Property has available to it adequate parking to permit the operation of such Mortgaged Property as a hotel operated in compliance with any applicable standards set forth in the applicable Approved Management Agreement and/or Approved Franchise Agreement, in each case, in all material respects.

81

(vi) There have been no material environmental investigations, studies, audits, reviews or other analyses conducted by or that are in the possession of Borrower in relation to any of the Properties which have not been made available to Lender.

(b) Schedule C sets forth the holder of the Permits required for the provision of alcoholic beverages at each of the Mortgaged Properties at which alcoholic beverages are currently served.

 

82

5.7. Leases.

(a) Borrower shall furnish Lender with executed copies of all Major Leases, together with a detailed breakdown of income and cost associated therewith. All Leases executed after the date hereof and renewals or amendments of Leases after the date hereof must be entered into on an arms-length basis with Tenants whose identity and creditworthiness are appropriate for tenancy in a property of comparable quality and nature to the applicable Mortgaged Property, must provide for rental rates and other economic terms which, taken as a whole, are at least equivalent to then-existing market rates, based on the applicable market, and must contain terms and conditions that are commercially reasonable (in each case, unless Lender consents to such Lease in its sole discretion); provided, however, that the foregoing limitations and consent rights shall not apply to any renewal or amendment of any existing Lease which Borrower or TRS Lessee is obligated to execute and deliver after the date hereof in accordance with the terms and conditions of such existing Lease, in each case, to the extent the terms of such renewal or amendment are dictated by the provisions of such existing Lease. All new Leases must provide that they are subject and subordinate to any current or future mortgage financing on the Mortgaged Properties and that the Tenants agree to attorn to any foreclosing mortgagee at such mortgagee’s request, provided that the foregoing subordination and attornment obligations may be conditioned upon the receipt from Lender of a subordination, non-disturbance and attornment agreement substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit B and with such changes as may be commercially reasonably requested by Tenant. To the extent any such Tenant’s subordination and attornment obligations under any such new Lease are conditioned on the receipt of a subordination, non-disturbance and attornment agreement from Lender, Borrower shall pay all reasonable, out-of-pocket costs and expenses (including attorney’s fees) of Lender incurred in connection with the preparation, negotiation, execution and delivery of such subordination, non-disturbance and attornment agreement.

(b) All new Leases which are Major Leases and all new TRS Leases, and all terminations, renewals and amendments of Major Leases or TRS Leases (other than in accordance with Section 2.4), and any surrender of rights under any Major Lease or TRS Lease (other than in accordance with Section 2.4), shall be subject to the prior written consent of Lender, which consent, in the absence of a continuing Event of Default, shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned. Each request for approval of a Lease which is submitted to Lender in an envelope marked “URGENT – LENDER’S ATTENTION REQUIRED WITHIN 10 BUSINESS DAYS”, together with a copy of the proposed Lease, a summary of the material economic terms thereof and any termination and other material options contained therein, and copies of all written materials obtained by Borrower in connection with its evaluation of the creditworthiness of the proposed Tenant or, with respect to a proposed termination, a description of the reason therefor, shall be deemed approved if Lender shall not have notified the Borrower in writing of its disapproval within 10 Business Days after receipt of such submission. For the avoidance of doubt, the deemed approval provision of the immediately preceding sentence shall not apply to any proposed TRS Lease or amendment thereto. Upon Borrower’s request, Lender shall reasonably promptly execute and deliver a subordination, non-disturbance

 

88


and attornment agreement to the Tenant of any future Major Lease approved by Lender, in substantially the form attached hereto as Exhibit B and with such changes as may be commercially reasonably requested by Tenant.

(c) Borrower shall (i) observe and perform (or cause to be observed and performed) in a commercially reasonable manner all the material obligations imposed upon the lessor under the Leases and the TRS Lease; (ii) enforce in a commercially reasonable manner all of the material terms, covenants and conditions contained in the Leases on the part of the lessee, or the TRS Leases on the part of the TRS Lessees, thereunder to be observed or performed, short of termination thereof, except that Borrower may terminate (or cause the termination of) any Lease following a material default thereunder by the respective Tenant or, in the case of Leases which are not Material Leases, if such termination would not have a Material Adverse Effect; (iii) not collect any of the rents thereunder more than one month in advance of its due date (other than security deposits held in accordance with the terms of this Agreement); (iv) not execute any assignment of lessor’s interest in the Leases or TRS Leases or associated rents other than the assignments of rents and leases under the Mortgages; and (v) not cancel or terminate any guarantee of any of the Major Leases or TRS Leases without the prior written consent of Lender, which consent, in the absence of a continuing Event of Default, shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned. Except as otherwise explicitly set forth herein (including, without limitation, in Section 2.4), no TRS Lease may be terminated by Borrower without the prior written consent of Lender, which may be withheld in Lender’s sole discretion.

(d) Security deposits of Tenants under all Leases, whether held in cash or any other form, shall not be commingled with any other funds of Borrower or TRS Lessee and, if cash, shall be deposited (or caused to be deposited) by Borrower or TRS Lessee at such commercial or savings bank or banks as may be reasonably satisfactory to Lender and Borrower’s or TRS Lessee’s rights thereto pledged to Lender. Any bond or other instrument which Borrower or TRS Lessee is permitted to hold in lieu of cash security deposits under any applicable Legal Requirements shall be maintained in full force and effect unless replaced by cash deposits as described above, shall be issued by an institution reasonably satisfactory to Lender, shall (if not prohibited by any Legal Requirements) name Lender as payee or mortgagee thereunder (or be fully assignable to Lender) or may name Borrower or TRS Lessee as payee thereunder so long as such bond or other instrument is pledged to Lender as security for the Indebtedness and shall, in all respects, comply with any applicable Legal Requirements and otherwise be reasonably satisfactory to Lender. Borrower shall (or shall cause TRS Lessee to), upon Lender’s request, provide Lender with evidence reasonably satisfactory to Lender of Borrower’s and TRS Lessee’s compliance with the foregoing. During the continuance of any Event of Default, Borrower shall (or shall cause TRS Lessee to), upon Lender’s request, deposit with Lender in an Eligible Account pledged to Lender an amount equal to the aggregate security deposits of the Tenants (and any interest theretofore earned on such security deposits and actually received by Borrower or TRS Lessee) which Borrower or TRS Lessee had not returned to the applicable Tenants or applied in accordance with the terms of the applicable Lease, and Lender shall hold such security deposits in a segregated account in accordance with the applicable Lease.

(e) Borrower shall provide a copy of each notice of default or event of default delivered or received by Borrower under the TRS Leases.

 

89


5.8. Plan Assets, etc. Each of Borrower and TRS Lessee will do, or cause to be done, all things necessary to ensure that it will not be deemed to hold Plan Assets at any time.

5.9. Further Assurances. Borrower shall, and shall cause TRS Lessee to, at Borrower’s sole cost and expense, from time to time as reasonably requested by Lender, execute, acknowledge, record, register, file and/or deliver, or cause to be executed, acknowledged, recorded, registered, filed and/or delivered, to Lender such other instruments, agreements, certificates and documents (including Uniform Commercial Code financing statements and amended or replacement mortgages) as Lender may reasonably request to evidence, confirm, perfect and maintain the Liens securing or intended to secure the obligations of Borrower, Encumbered Property Owners, Operating Partnership and Sponsor under the Loan Documents or to facilitate a replacement of the Cash Management Bank pursuant to Section 3.1(c) or a bifurcation of the Note pursuant to Sections 1.3(c) and/or 9.7(a), in each case if reasonably requested by Lender, and do and execute all such further lawful and reasonable acts, conveyances and assurances for the better and more effective carrying out of the intents and purposes of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents as Lender shall reasonably request from time to time. The provisions set forth in this Section 5.9 shall be subject to the limitation set forth in the final sentence of Section 1.3(c).

5.10. Management of Collateral.

(a) Each Mortgaged Property shall be managed at all times by an Approved Property Manager pursuant to an Approved Management Agreement. As a condition to the Closing (or reasonably promptly after the Closing Date), except as otherwise expressly set forth herein, each Approved Property Manager shall agree with Lender in writing that its Approved Management Agreement, and all fees (including any incentive fees) thereunder, are subject and subordinate to the Indebtedness and that no fees payable (including any incentive fees) thereunder shall accrue as between such Approved Property Manager and Lender as a result of Borrower’s or TRS Lessee’s failure to pay any amounts (without in any way implying any obligation on the part of Lender to pay any fees payable by Borrower or TRS Lessee to any Approved Property Manager), and that such Approved Management Agreement may be terminated under the circumstances set forth herein. Borrower may from time to time appoint one or more successor managers, which successor managers shall be Approved Property Managers, to manage Mortgaged Properties pursuant to one or more Approved Management Agreements, and such successor managers shall execute for Lender’s benefit Subordinations of Property Management Agreement in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Lender. Borrower may, or may permit TRS Lessee to, from time to time modify or replace an Approved Management Agreement, but any material modification or replacement agreement shall be subject to Lender’s prior written consent (which consent shall not, in the absence of a continuing Event of Default, be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned) and Rating Confirmation. No new Approved Management Agreement hereafter entered into shall provide for management fees in excess of 4% of gross revenues without Lender’s prior written consent.

(b) Each Mortgaged Property shall at all times be branded pursuant to an Approved Franchise Agreement between Borrower or TRS Lessee and an Approved Franchisor.

 

90


Notwithstanding the foregoing, Lender agrees that, if the Borrower requests Lender’s consent to the replacement of any existing franchisor for one or more of the Mortgaged Properties with a Person that is as a franchisor in respect of any of the other Properties and such replacement franchisor is within a lower chain scale (as defined by Smith Travel Research) than the franchisor it will succeed, Lender shall promptly, and in any case within 30 days of request by the Borrower and Lender’s receipt of the net present value calculation described below, consent to such replacement, provided only that the net present value of the Mortgaged Property would be greater after giving effect to the new franchise agreement than the net present value of the Mortgaged Property before giving effect thereto as substantiated by a net present value analysis prepared by Borrower (or, as applicable, TRS Lessee), that includes cash flows projections under which the proposed successor franchisor and the existing franchisor would franchise the hotel at the Mortgaged Property, including any required capital expenditures (i.e., a comparative analysis as to the economic benefit of the successor franchisor assuming such role). Borrower may, or may permit TRS Lessee to, from time to time modify an Approved Franchise Agreement or replace an Approved Franchisor with a successor Approved Franchisor pursuant to an Approved Franchise Agreement, but any such modification or replacement of an Approved Franchise Agreement shall be subject to Lender’s prior written consent (which consent shall not, in the absence of a continuing Event of Default, be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned) and Lender’s receipt of a Franchise Comfort Letter from the successor Approved Franchisor.

(c) Borrower shall cause TRS Lessee and each Approved Property Manager (including any successor Approved Property Manager) to maintain at all times worker’s compensation insurance as required by any applicable Governmental Authority.

(d) Borrower shall notify Lender in writing of any material default of Borrower, TRS Lessee or an Approved Property Manager under any of the Approved Management Agreements, after the expiration of any applicable cure periods, of which Borrower has actual knowledge. Lender shall have the right, after reasonable notice to Borrower or TRS Lessee and in accordance with the applicable Subordination of Property Management Agreement, to cure material defaults of Borrower or TRS Lessee under such Approved Management Agreement. Any reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred by Lender to cure any such default in accordance with such Subordination of Property Management Agreement shall constitute a part of the Indebtedness and shall be due from Borrower upon demand by Lender. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, in the case of a default by Borrower or TRS Lessee under any Approved Management Agreement relating to a failure to provide adequate working capital in respect of payroll and related employee expenses or otherwise, Borrower shall, or shall cause TRS Lessee to, cure any such default promptly upon its receipt of notice thereof from the applicable Approved Property Manager and in any event by no later than 5 Business Days prior to the expiration of any applicable cure periods provided under the applicable Approved Management Agreement.

(e) Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, Lender may, in its sole discretion, (1) terminate or require Borrower to terminate, or to cause TRS Lessee to terminate, one or more of the Approved Management Agreements and engage one or more Approved Property Managers selected by Lender to serve as replacement Approved Property Managers pursuant to Approved Management Agreements; and/or (2) to the extent permitted under the Approved Franchise Agreements, terminate or require Borrower to

 

91


terminate, or cause TRS Lessee to terminate, one or more of the Approved Franchisors and, if requested by Lender, engage one or more Approved Franchisors selected by Lender to serve as replacement Approved Franchisors pursuant to Approved Franchise Agreements.

If TRIA or a similar statute is not in effect, then provided that terrorism insurance is commercially available, Borrower shall be required to carry terrorism insurance throughout the term of the Loan as required by the preceding sentence, but in such event Borrower shall not be required to spend on terrorism insurance coverage more than two times the amount of the insurance premium that is payable at such time in respect of the casualty and business interruption/rental loss insurance required hereunder;

(xi) if alcoholic beverages are served at such Mortgaged Property, liquor liability insurance in an amount of at least $10,000,000 or in such greater amount as may be required by applicable Legal Requirements against claims or liability arising directly or indirectly to persons or property on account of the sale or dispensing of alcoholic beverages at such Mortgaged Property and public liability insurance in an amount of at least $10,000,000 or in such greater amount as may be required by applicable Legal Requirements providing coverage against such claims or liability;

96


ability ratings of not less than “BBB+” or “Baa1”). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, for purposes of determining whether the insurer ratings requirements set forth above have been satisfied, (1) any insurer that is not rated by Fitch will be regarded as having a Fitch rating that is the equivalent of the rating given to such insurer by any of Moody’s and S&P that does rate such insurer (or, if both such rating agencies rate such insurer, the lower of the two ratings), and (2) any insurer that is not rated by Moody’s will be regarded as having a Moody’s rating of “Baa1” or better if it is rated “A-” or better by S&P and will be regarded as having a Moody’s rating of “A3” or better if it is rated “A” or better by S&P.

(viii) shall contain a waiver of subrogation against Lender;

(ix) shall contain deductibles which, in addition to complying with any other requirements expressly set forth in Section 5.15(a), are acceptable to Lender and are no larger than is customary for similar policies covering similar properties in the geographic market in which the applicable Mortgaged Property is located and in any event no larger than $250,000, except as provided in Section 5.15(a)(ii) and Section 5.15(a)(ix) and except that, with respect named windstorm coverage, the deductible may be such greater amount reasonably approved by Lender and subject to Rating Confirmation (but in any event shall not be in excess of 5% of the insurable value of the applicable Mortgaged Property);

 

97


(x) may be in the form of a blanket policy, provided that Borrower shall provide evidence satisfactory to Lender that the insurance premiums for the Mortgaged Properties are separately allocated under such Policy to the Mortgaged Properties and that (i) payment of such allocated amount shall maintain the effectiveness of such Policy as to the Mortgaged Properties notwithstanding the failure of payment of any other portion of premiums, and (ii) overall insurance limits will under no circumstance limit the amount that will be paid in respect of the Mortgaged Properties, and provided further that any such blanket policy shall contain an amendment setting forth that (A) the aggregate limit under such policy shall apply separately to each property covered thereunder, and (B) unless otherwise agreed to by Lender, the limit of such policy shall be a “true blanket limit” and not limited by a schedule of values for the properties covered thereby.

Any policies of insurance maintained by Borrower but not required hereunder shall comply with clauses (ii), (iii), (v), (vii) and (viii) above.

(d) Borrower shall pay the premiums for all Policies as the same become due and payable; provided, however, that Borrower shall not be deemed to have breached this covenant to the extent sufficient funds to pay such premiums are available in the Taxes, Ground Rents and Insurance Reserve Account, to the extent that funds for payment of insurance premiums are then being reserved therein in pursuant to Section 3.4(e). Not later than 10 Business Days prior to the expiration date of each Policy, Borrower shall deliver to Lender evidence, reasonably satisfactory to Lender, of its renewal.

5.16. Casualty and Condemnation.

(a) Borrower shall give prompt notice to Lender of any Casualty or Condemnation. Lender may (x) jointly with Borrower settle and adjust any Casualty or Condemnation claims, (y) during the continuance of an Event of Default, settle and adjust any Casualty or Condemnation claims without the consent or cooperation of Borrower, or (z) allow Borrower to settle and adjust any Casualty or Condemnation claims; except that, notwithstanding the foregoing, if no Event of Default or Mezzanine Loan Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, Borrower may settle and adjust any Casualty or Condemnation claims in respect of any Property without Lender consent or participation aggregating not in excess of 3% of the applicable Allocated Loan Amount (the “Restoration Threshold”), provided such settlement or adjustment is carried out in a commercially reasonable and timely manner. The reasonable expenses incurred by Lender in the adjustment and collection of Loss Proceeds shall become part of the Indebtedness and shall be reimbursed by Borrower to Lender upon demand therefor.

(b) All Loss Proceeds from any Casualty or Condemnation which do not exceed the Restoration Threshold will be promptly disbursed by Lender to Borrower and Borrower shall apply such sums toward the restoration and repair of the applicable Mortgaged Property (with any excess amounts remitted into the Cash Management Account). Subject to the provisions of this Section 5.16, promptly after receipt of the Loss Proceeds, Borrower shall commence and satisfactorily complete with due diligence the restoration, repair, replacing or rebuilding of the applicable Mortgaged Property in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, it being understood, however, that Borrower shall not be obligated to restore such Mortgaged

 

98


Property to the precise condition of such Mortgaged Property prior to such Casualty or Condemnation provided the Mortgaged Property is restored or repaired, to the extent practicable, to be of at least equal value and of substantially the same character as prior to the Casualty or Condemnation.

(c) All Loss Proceeds from any Casualty or Condemnation which exceed the Restoration Threshold shall be immediately deposited into the Loss Proceeds Account (monthly rental loss/business interruption proceeds to be initially deposited into the Loss Proceeds Account and subsequently transferred into the Cash Management Account in installments as and when the lost rental income covered by such proceeds would have been payable). If any Condemnation or Casualty from which the Loss Proceeds exceed the Restoration Threshold occurs as to which, in the reasonable judgment of Lender:

(i) in the case of a Casualty of any of the Mortgaged Properties, the cost of restoration would not exceed 25% of the Allocated Loan Amount and the Casualty does not render untenantable more than 25% of the guest rooms of such Mortgaged Property;

(ii) in the case of a Condemnation of any of the Mortgaged Properties, the Condemnation does not render untenantable more than 15% of the guest rooms or otherwise materially impair or disrupt the operation of such Mortgaged Property;

(iii) such Casualty or Condemnation would not result in the termination of any Approved Franchise Agreement; and

(iv) restoration of any of the Mortgaged Properties is reasonably expected to be completed in accordance herewith prior to the expiration of rental interruption insurance and at least 180 days prior to the Maturity Date, unless on or prior to such date the Borrower (x) shall deliver to the Lender and there shall remain in effect a binding written offer, subject only to customary conditions, of an Eligible Institution or such other financial institution or investment bank reasonably satisfactory to Lender for a loan from such Eligible Institution or such other financial institution or investment bank to the Borrower in a principal amount of not less than the then Principal Indebtedness and which shall, in the Lender’s reasonable judgment, enable the Borrower to refinance the Loan prior to the Maturity Date and (y) if a Securitization shall have occurred, shall obtain a Rating Confirmation,

or if Lender otherwise elects to allow Borrower to restore any of the Mortgaged Properties, then the Loss Proceeds shall be applied to the cost of restoring, repairing, replacing or rebuilding each of such Mortgaged Properties or part thereof subject to the Casualty or Condemnation, in the manner set forth below (and Borrower shall commence as promptly and diligently as practicable to prosecute such restoring, repairing, replacing or rebuilding of such Mortgaged Properties in a workmanlike fashion and in accordance with applicable law to a status at least equivalent to the quality and character of such Mortgaged Properties immediately prior to the Condemnation or Casualty, it being understood, however, that Borrower shall not be obligated to restore such Mortgaged Property to the precise condition of such Mortgaged Property prior to such Casualty or Condemnation provided the Mortgaged Property is restored, to the extent practicable, to be of at least equal value and of substantially the same character as prior to the Casualty or

 

99


Condemnation). Provided that no Event of Default or Mezzanine Loan Event of Default shall have occurred and be then continuing, Lender shall cause the Cash Management Bank to disburse Loss Proceeds from the Loss Proceeds Account to Borrower upon Lender’s being furnished with (i) evidence reasonably satisfactory to it of the estimated cost of completion of the restoration, (ii) funds, or assurances reasonably satisfactory to Lender that such funds are available and sufficient in addition to any remaining Loss Proceeds, to complete the proposed restoration, and (iii) to the extent the restoration work exceeds $500,000, such architect’s certificates, conditional waivers of lien, contractor’s sworn statements, bonds, plats of survey and such other evidences of cost, payment and performance as Lender may reasonably request; and Lender may, in any event, require that all plans and specifications for restoration reasonably estimated by Lender to exceed the Restoration Threshold be submitted to and approved by Lender prior to commencement of work (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed). If Lender reasonably estimates that the cost to restore will exceed the Restoration Threshold, Lender may retain a local construction consultant to inspect such work and review Borrower’s request for payments and Borrower shall, on demand by Lender, reimburse Lender for the reasonable fees and expenses of such consultant (which fees and expenses shall constitute Indebtedness). No payment shall exceed 90% of the value of the work performed from time to time until such time as 50% of the restoration (calculated based on the anticipated aggregate cost of the work) has been completed, and amounts retained prior to substantial completion of 50% of the restoration shall not be paid prior to the substantial completion of the restoration. Funds other than Loss Proceeds shall be disbursed prior to disbursement of such Loss Proceeds, and at all times the undisbursed balance of such proceeds remaining in the Loss Proceeds Account, together with any additional funds irrevocably and unconditionally deposited therein or irrevocably and unconditionally committed for that purpose, shall be at least sufficient in the reasonable judgment of Lender to pay for the cost of completion of the restoration free and clear of all Liens or claims for Lien (other than Permitted Encumbrances).

(d) Borrower shall cooperate with Lender in obtaining for Lender the benefits of any Loss Proceeds lawfully or equitably payable to Lender in connection with the Mortgaged Properties. Lender shall be reimbursed for any expenses reasonably incurred in connection therewith (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements, and, if reasonably necessary to collect such proceeds, the expense of an Appraisal on behalf of Lender) out of such Loss Proceeds (without duplication of amounts already deducted by virtue of the definition of “Loss Proceeds”) or, if insufficient for such purpose, by Borrower.

(e) If Borrower is not entitled to apply Loss Proceeds toward the restoration of one of Mortgaged Properties pursuant to Section 5.16(b) or (c) and Lender elects not to permit such Loss Proceeds to be so applied, such Loss Proceeds shall be applied on the first Payment Date following such election to the prepayment of the Loan and shall be accompanied by interest through the end of the applicable Interest Accrual Period (calculated as if the amount prepaid were outstanding for the entire Interest Accrual Period during which the prepayment is applied). If the Note has been bifurcated into multiple Note Components pursuant to Section 1.3(c), all prepayments of the Loan made by Borrower in accordance with this Section 5.16(e) shall be applied to the Note Components in ascending order of interest rate (i.e., first to the Note Component with the lowest Component Spread until its outstanding principal balance has been reduced to zero, then to the Note Component with the second lowest Component Spread until its outstanding principal balance has been reduced to zero, and so on).

(f) If Borrower is entitled to apply Loss Proceeds toward the restoration of any of the Mortgaged Properties pursuant to this Section 5.16, then, after the completion of such restoration in accordance herewith, provided no Event of Default is continuing, Lender shall deposit any undisbursed portion of the Loss Proceeds into the Cash Management Account.

 

100


5.17. Annual Budget. Borrower has previously delivered to Lender (for informational purposed only) the Annual Budget (covering both Operating Expenses and Capital Expenditures) for the Mortgaged Properties for the 2007 Fiscal Year. At least 15 days prior to the commencement of each subsequent Fiscal Year during the term of the Loan, and at least 30 days after the commencement of any Trigger Period or Event of Default (provided such Event of Default is then continuing), Borrower shall deliver to Lender an Annual Budget for the Mortgaged Properties prepared by Borrower in good faith for the ensuing Fiscal Year and, promptly after preparation thereof, any subsequent revisions thereto. Such Annual Budget, and any revisions thereto, shall be subject to Lender’s approval during the continuance of a Trigger Period, Initial Cash Flow Reserve Period or Event of Default; it being agreed that during the continuance of a Trigger Period or an Initial Cash Flow Reserve Period (and provided no Event of Default is the continuing), such Lender approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. Such Annual Budget, in the absence of the continuance of a Trigger Period, Initial Cash Flow Reserve Period or an Event of Default, as so delivered, and, during the continuance of a Trigger Period, Initial Cash Flow Reserve Period or Event of Default, as so approved, is referred to herein the “Approved Annual Budget”).

5.18 Franchise Agreements. Borrower shall, or shall cause TRS Lessee to, (i) comply with all material terms, conditions and covenants of the Approved Franchise Agreements; (ii) promptly deliver to Lender a true and complete copy of each and every notice of material default received by Borrower or TRS Lessee with respect to any obligation of Borrower or TRS Lessee under any Approved Franchise Agreement; (iii) deliver to Lender copies of any written notices of material default or event of default delivered by Borrower or TRS Lessee under any Franchise Agreement; and (iv) not amend, modify or terminate any Franchise Agreement other than in accordance with Section 5.10(b).

5.19. General Indemnity. Borrower shall indemnify, reimburse, defend and hold harmless Lender and its officers, directors, employees and agents (collectively, the “Indemnified Parties”) for, from and against any and all Damages of any kind or nature whatsoever which may be imposed on, incurred by, or asserted against the Indemnified Parties, in any way relating to or arising out of the making or holding or enforcement of the Loan by Lender or the administration of the Transaction to the extent resulting, directly or indirectly, from any claim (including any Environmental Claim) made (whether or not in connection with any legal action, suit, or proceeding) by or on behalf of any Person; provided, however, that no Indemnified Party shall have the right to be indemnified hereunder for its own fraud, bad faith, gross negligence or willful misconduct.

5.21 Encumbered Property Indebtedness. Borrower shall cause each Encumbered Property Owner to comply in all material respects with all of their respective obligations and liabilities under the Encumbered Property Indebtedness Documents to which each is a party, in each case except to the extent that any failure to so comply would not have a material adverse effect on the value of the Encumbered Properties or the collateral securing the Encumbered Property Pledge Agreements taken as a whole. Borrower shall cause each Encumbered Property Owner, promptly upon receipt of any notice of breach or default under any Encumbered Property Indebtedness Documents, to deliver a copy of the same to Lender and to grant access to, and otherwise cooperate with, Lender to permit Lender to cure such default to the same extent, and subject to the same conditions, as the right granted to Lender under Section 7.2(c) to cure an Event of Default with respect to any Mortgaged Property. The costs and expenses incurred by Lender in exercising rights under this paragraph (including reasonable attorneys’ fees), with interest at the Default Rate for the period after notice from Lender that such costs or expenses were incurred to the date of payment to Lender, shall constitute a portion of the Indebtedness, shall be secured by the Mortgages and other Loan Documents and shall be due and payable to Lender upon demand therefor.

5.22 REA Covenants.

(a) Borrower covenants and agrees as follows:

(i) Borrower shall comply (or cause compliance) with all material terms, conditions and covenants of each of the REAs;

(v) Borrower shall deliver (or cause to be delivered) to each other party to an REA written notice of the identity of Lender on the date hereof and each assignee of Lender of which Borrower is given notice in accordance with Section 9.4 if the terms of such REA provide that such other party(ies) to the REA shall give notices of default thereunder to a lender of which such other party(ies) have notice.

(b) Borrower shall pay (or cause to be paid) all fees, assessments and charges payable pursuant to each of the REAs as and when the same become due and payable.

107


(ii) consent to any modification, amendment or supplement to any of the terms of any Permitted Encumbrance in a manner that would have a Material Adverse Effect, or default in any of its material obligations under a Permitted Encumbrance;

(iv) execute or file any subdivision plat affecting the Mortgaged Properties, or institute, or permit the institution of, proceedings to alter any tax lot comprising the Mortgaged Properties, if same would have a Material Adverse Effect; or

6.17. Waste. Borrower shall not commit or permit any waste on the Mortgaged Properties so as to result in a Material Adverse Effect, nor take any actions that might invalidate any insurance required to be carried on the Mortgaged Properties pursuant to this Agreement (and Borrower shall promptly correct any such actions of which Borrower becomes aware).

6.18 TRS Lessee. With respect to TRS Lessee’s operation of the Properties, Borrower shall cause TRS Lessee to comply with all of the negative covenants set forth in this Agreement and no default hereunder shall be excused by virtue of the fact that such default was caused by a TRS Lessee (by way of example, if any TRS Lessee initiated a zoning change not permitted hereunder, the same shall constitute a violation of Section 6.16).

111


(j) Other Covenants. A default shall occur in the due performance or observance by Borrower of any term, covenant or agreement (other than those referred to in subsections (a) through (i), inclusive, of this Section 7.1) contained in this Agreement or in any of the other Loan Documents, except that if such default referred to in this subsection (j) is susceptible of being cured, such default shall not constitute an Event of Default unless and until it shall remain uncured for 30 days after Borrower receives written notice thereof from Lender; and if a default cannot be cured by the payment of money but is susceptible of being cured and cannot reasonably be cured within such 30-day period, and Borrower commences to cure such default within such 30-day period and thereafter diligently and expeditiously proceeds to cure the same, Borrower shall have such additional time as is reasonably necessary to effect such cure, but in no event in excess of 120 days from the original notice from Lender.

(k) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, if a Default or Event of Default shall occur under this Agreement or under another Loan Document because a representation, warranty, affirmative covenant, negative covenant or other provision hereunder or thereunder shall be breached or violated as it affects a particular Mortgaged Property (other than any misappropriation of funds collected in respect thereof), (x) such Default or Event of Default shall be deemed cured, (y) any related acceleration of the Loan shall be rescinded and (z) any other remedy relating to such Default or Event of Default, other than any indemnification to which an Indemnified Party may be entitled hereunder, shall cease to apply upon Borrower causing to occur a Transfer of the applicable Mortgaged Property to an affiliated or an unaffiliated Person and the satisfaction of the requirements set forth in Section 2.2, including payment of the applicable Release Price together with (i) the amount of interest theretofore accrued but unpaid in respect of the principal amount so prepaid; plus (ii) the amount of interest which would have accrued on the principal amount so prepaid had it remained outstanding through the end of the Interest Accrual Period in which such prepayment is made (or in the case of a prepayment during any Assumed Rate Period, the amount of interest which would have accrued on the principal amount so prepaid had it remained outstanding through the end of the Interest Accrual Period following the Interest Accrual Period in which such prepayment is made, as determined in accordance with Section 2.1(a)); plus (iii) any Spread Maintenance Amount, if applicable; provided that such payment must be made not later than 20 calendar days after any acceleration of the Loan. In the event of such payment, so long as no other Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing hereunder (other than one that is simultaneously being cured pursuant to this Section 7.1(k)), Lender shall release all Liens on such Mortgaged Property and the Collateral related thereto created under this Agreement or under the other Loan Documents.

7.2. Remedies.

(a) During the continuance of an Event of Default, Lender may by written notice to Borrower, in addition to any other rights or remedies available pursuant to this

 

112


Agreement, the Notes, the Mortgages and the other Loan Documents, at law or in equity, declare by written notice to Borrower all or any portion of the Indebtedness to be immediately due and payable, whereupon all or such portion of the Indebtedness shall so become due and payable, and Lender may enforce or avail itself of any or all rights or remedies provided in the Loan Documents against Borrower and the Properties (including all rights or remedies available at law or in equity); provided, however, that, notwithstanding the foregoing, if an Event of Default specified in paragraph 7.1(d) shall occur, then the Indebtedness shall immediately become due and payable without the giving of any notice or other action by Lender. Any actions taken by Lender shall be cumulative and concurrent and may be pursued independently, singly, successively, together or otherwise, at such time and in such order as Lender may determine in its sole discretion, to the fullest extent permitted by law, without impairing or otherwise affecting the other rights and remedies of Lender permitted by law, equity or contract or as set forth in this Agreement or in the other Loan Documents.

(b) If Lender forecloses on the Mortgaged Properties, Lender shall apply all net proceeds of such foreclosure to repay the Indebtedness, the Indebtedness shall be reduced to the extent of such net proceeds and the remaining portion of the Indebtedness shall remain outstanding and secured by the Mortgaged Properties and the other Loan Documents, it being understood and agreed by Borrower that Borrower is liable for the repayment of all the Indebtedness; provided, however, that at the election of Lender, the Notes shall be deemed to have been accelerated only to the extent of the net proceeds actually received by Lender with respect to the Mortgaged Properties and applied in reduction of the Indebtedness.

(c) During the continuance of any Event of Default, Lender may, but without any obligation to do so and without notice to or demand on Borrower and without releasing Borrower from any obligation hereunder, take any action to cure such Event of Default. Lender may enter upon any or all of the Mortgaged Properties upon reasonable notice to Borrower (during business hours on Business Days) for such purposes (subject to the terms of the Leases and the Ground Leases) and provided such entry and inspection shall not unreasonably interfere with the usual operation and conduct of business at the Mortgaged Properties or the use and enjoyment of the Mortgaged Properties by Borrower, TRS Lessee, any ground lessors, Tenants, customers and guests) or appear in, defend, or bring any action or proceeding to protect its interest in the Mortgaged Properties or to foreclose the Mortgages or collect the Indebtedness. The costs and expenses incurred by Lender in exercising rights under this paragraph (including reasonable attorneys’ fees), with interest at the Default Rate for the period after notice from Lender that such costs or expenses were incurred to the date of payment to Lender, shall constitute a portion of the Indebtedness, shall be secured by the Mortgages and other Loan Documents and shall be due and payable to Lender upon demand therefor.

(d) Interest shall accrue on any judgment obtained by Lender in connection with its enforcement of the Loan at a rate of interest equal to the Default Rate.

7.3. No Waiver. No delay or omission to exercise any remedy, right or power accruing upon an Event of Default shall impair any such remedy, right or power or shall be construed as a waiver thereof, but any such remedy, right or power may be exercised from time to time and as often as may be deemed by Lender to be expedient. A waiver of any Default or Event of Default shall not be construed to be a waiver of any subsequent Default or Event of Default or to impair any remedy, right or power consequent thereon.

 

113


7.4. Application of Payments after an Event of Default. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, during the continuance of an Event of Default, all amounts received by Lender in respect of the Loan shall be applied at Lender’s sole discretion either toward the components of the Indebtedness (e.g., Lender’s expenses in enforcing the Loan, interest, principal and other amounts payable hereunder), and the Note Components in such sequence as Lender shall elect in its sole discretion (subject, as between the holders of the Notes, to any intercreditor agreement), or toward the payment of Taxes, Ground Rents, Operating Expenses and Capital Expenditures.

LENDER AND BORROWER, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT THAT THEY MAY LAWFULLY DO SO, HEREBY AGREE NOT TO ELECT A TRIAL BY JURY OF ANY ISSUE TRIABLE OF RIGHT BY JURY, AND WAIVE ANY RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY FULLY TO THE EXTENT THAT ANY SUCH RIGHT SHALL NOW OR HEREAFTER EXIST WITH REGARD TO THE LOAN DOCUMENTS, OR ANY CLAIM, COUNTERCLAIM OR OTHER ACTION ARISING IN CONNECTION THEREWITH. THIS WAIVER OF RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IS GIVEN KNOWINGLY AND VOLUNTARILY BY LENDER AND BORROWER AND IS INTENDED TO ENCOMPASS INDIVIDUALLY EACH INSTANCE AND EACH ISSUE AS TO WHICH THE RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY WOULD OTHERWISE ACCRUE. EACH PARTY IS HEREBY AUTHORIZED TO FILE A COPY OF THIS PARAGRAPH IN ANY PROCEEDING AS CONCLUSIVE EVIDENCE OF THIS WAIVER BY LENDER OR BORROWER, AS APPLICABLE.

9.6. Headings. The Article and Section headings in this Agreement are included in this Agreement for convenience of reference only and shall not constitute a part of this Agreement for any other purpose.

9.7. Assignment and Participation.

(a) Except as explicitly set forth in this Agreement, Borrower may not sell, assign or transfer any interest in the Loan Documents or any portion thereof (including Borrower’s rights, title, interests, remedies, powers and duties hereunder and thereunder).

(b) Subject to Section 9.7(d), Lender and each assignee of all or a portion of the Loan shall have the right from time to time in its discretion to sell one or more of the Notes or any interest therein (an “Assignment”) and/or sell a participation interest in one or more of the Notes (a “Participation”). Borrower agrees reasonably to cooperate with Lender, at Lender’s request, in order to effectuate any such Assignment or Participation. In the case of a Participation, (i) Lender’s obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (ii) Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such

 

117


obligations, (iii) Lender shall remain the holder of any Note for all purposes of this Agreement and (iv) Borrower shall continue to deal solely and directly with Lender in connection with Lender’s rights and obligations under and in respect of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. In the case of an Assignment, (i) each assignee shall have, to the extent of such Assignment, the rights, benefits and obligations of the assigning Lender as a “Lender” hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, (ii) the assigning Lender shall, to the extent that rights and obligations hereunder have been assigned by it pursuant to an Assignment, relinquish its rights and be released from its obligations under this Agreement, and (iii) one Lender shall serve as agent for all Lenders and shall be the sole Lender to whom notices, requests and other communications shall be addressed and the sole party authorized to grant or withhold consents hereunder on behalf of Lenders (subject, in each case, to appointment of a Servicer, pursuant to Section 9.22, to receive such notices, requests and other communications and/or to grant or withhold consents, as the case may be) and to be the sole Lender to designate the account to which payments shall be made by Borrower to Lenders hereunder. Goldman Sachs Mortgage Company or, upon appointment of a Servicer, such Servicer, shall maintain, or cause to be maintained, as agent for Borrower, a register on which it shall enter the name or names of the registered owner or owners from time to time of the Notes. Lender shall permit Borrower to review the register as needed for Borrower to comply with its obligations under this Agreement, the Loan Documents or any applicable law, regulation or procedure. Borrower agrees that upon effectiveness of any Assignment of any Note in part, Borrower will promptly provide to the assignor and the assignee separate promissory notes in the amount of their respective interests (but, if applicable, with a notation thereon that it is given in substitution for and replacement of an original Note or any replacement thereof), and otherwise in the form of such Note, upon return of the Note then being replaced. The assigning Lender shall notify in writing each of the other Lenders of any Assignment. Each potential or actual assignee, participant or investor in a Securitization, and each Rating Agency, shall be entitled to receive all information received by Lender under this Agreement. After the effectiveness of any Assignment, the party conveying the Assignment shall provide notice to Borrower and each Lender of the identity and address of the assignee. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, after an Assignment, the assigning Lender (in addition to the assignee) shall continue to have the benefits of any indemnifications contained in this Agreement which such assigning Lender had prior to such assignment with respect to matters occurring prior to the date of such assignment.

(c) If, pursuant to this Section 9.7, any interest in this Agreement or any Note is transferred to any transferee that is not a U.S. Person, the transferor Lender shall cause such transferee, concurrently with the effectiveness of such transfer, (i) to furnish to Borrower and/or the transferor Lender either Form W-8BEN or Form W-8ECI or any other form in order to establish an exemption from, or reduction in the rate of, U.S. withholding tax on all interest payments hereunder, and (ii) to agree (for the benefit of Lender and Borrower) to provide Borrower and the transferor Lender a new Form W-8BEN or Form W-8ECI or any forms reasonably requested in order to establish an exemption from, or reduction in the rate of, U.S. withholding tax upon the expiration or obsolescence of any previously delivered form and comparable statements in accordance with applicable U.S. laws and regulations and amendments duly executed and completed by such transferee, and to comply from time to time with all applicable U.S. laws and regulations with regard to such withholding tax exemption.

(d) Lender may on or after the date hereof effectuate one or more Assignments or Participations, to or with such Eligible Assignees (hereinafter defined) as may be selected by Lender on terms and conditions satisfactory to Lender in its sole discretion, provided, however, that, except with respect to any Assignment or Participation to a trustee in connection with a Securitization, any pledgee or any counterparty in connection with a repurchase transaction, the following conditions shall apply: (i) each Assignment or Participation shall only be made to an Eligible Assignee; (ii) Lender shall notify Borrower of the identity of a proposed assignee, lender or participant and Borrower shall have five Business Days to approve or object to such assignee, lender or participant (which objection shall be limited solely to Borrower’s reasonable belief that such proposed assignee, lender or participant does not meet the qualifications of an Eligible Assignee), and if Borrower does not respond within such five Business Day period, such assignee, lender or participant shall be deemed approved by Borrower; provided that Borrower shall have no such approval right during the continuance of an Event of Default; (iii) such Eligible Assignee shall have delivered to Borrower a fully completed QP Certificate in the form of Exhibit D at least two Business Days prior to the date of such Assignment or Participation; and (iv) the minimum amount of the Loan transferred pursuant to any Assignment or Participation shall be $5,000,000. As used herein, “Eligible Assignee” means any “qualified purchaser” as defined in Section 2(a)(51)(A) of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended or otherwise modified from time to time (the “ICA”), and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder, or any “qualified institutional buyer” as contemplated by Rule 2a51-1(g) of the ICA.

9.8. Severability. Wherever possible, each provision of this Agreement shall be interpreted in such manner as to be effective and valid under applicable law, but if any provision of this Agreement shall be prohibited by or invalid under applicable law, such provision shall be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or invalidity, without invalidating the remainder of such provision or the remaining provisions of this Agreement.

9.9. Preferences. Lender shall have no obligation to marshal any assets in favor of Borrower or any other party or against or in payment of any or all of the obligations of Borrower pursuant to this Agreement, the Notes or any other Loan Document. To the extent Borrower makes a payment or payments to Lender, which payment or proceeds or any portion thereof are subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside or required to be repaid to a trustee, receiver or any other party under any bankruptcy law, state or federal law, common law or equitable cause, then, to the extent of such payment or proceeds received, the obligations hereunder or portion thereof intended to be satisfied shall be revived and continue in full force and effect, as if such payment or proceeds had not been received by Lender.

9.10. [Intentionally Omitted].

9.11. Offsets, Counterclaims and Defenses. All payments made by Borrower hereunder or under the other Loan Documents shall be made irrespective of, and without any deduction for, any setoffs or counterclaims. Borrower waives the right to assert a counterclaim, other than a

 

119


mandatory or compulsory counterclaim, in any action or proceeding brought against it by Lender arising out of or in any way connected with the Notes, this Agreement, the other Loan Documents or the Indebtedness, but Borrower may bring a separate claim against Lender. Any assignee of Lender’s interest in the Loan shall take the same free and clear of all offsets, counterclaims or defenses which are unrelated to the Loan.

9.12. No Joint Venture. Nothing in this Agreement is intended to create a joint venture, partnership, tenancy-in-common, or joint tenancy relationship between Borrower and Lender, nor to grant Lender any interest in any Mortgaged Property other than that of mortgagee or lender.

9.13. Conflict; Construction of Documents. In the event of any conflict between the provisions of this Agreement and the provisions of the Notes, the Mortgages or any of the other Loan Documents, the provisions of this Agreement shall prevail.

9.14. Brokers and Financial Advisors. Borrower represents that it has dealt with no financial advisors, brokers, underwriters, placement agents, agents or finders in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. Borrower shall indemnify and hold Lender harmless from and against any and all claims, liabilities, costs and expenses of any kind in any way relating to or arising from a claim by any Person that such Person acted on behalf of Borrower in connection with the transactions contemplated in this Agreement. The provisions of this Section 9.14 shall survive the expiration and termination of this Agreement and the repayment of the Indebtedness.

9.15. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which when so executed and delivered shall be an original, but all of which shall together constitute one and the same instrument.

9.16. Estoppel Certificates. (a) Borrower agrees at any time and from time to time, to execute, acknowledge and deliver to Lender, within 15 Business Days after receipt of Lender’s written request therefor, a statement in writing setting forth (A) the Principal Indebtedness, (B) the date on which installments of interest and/or principal were last paid, (C) any offsets or defenses to the payment of the Indebtedness, (D) that the Notes, this Agreement, the Mortgages and the other Loan Documents are valid, legal and binding obligations and have not been modified or if modified, giving particulars of such modification, (E) that neither Borrower nor, to Borrower’s knowledge, Lender, is in default under the Loan Documents (or specifying any such default), (F) that neither Borrower nor TRS Lessee is in material default under the TRS Lease (or specifying any such material default), and (G) to Borrower’s knowledge, such other matters as Lender may reasonably request. Any prospective purchaser of any interest in a Loan shall be permitted to rely on such certificate.

(b) After written request by Borrower not more than twice annually, Lender shall furnish Borrower a statement setting forth (i) the amount of the original principal amount of the Note, (ii) the unpaid principal amount of the Note Components, (iii) the rate of interest of the

 

120


Note Components, (iv) the balance of the sums in the accounts described in Article III, if any; and (v) a statement regarding whether Lender has delivered to Borrower notice of an Event of Default.

9.17. Payment of Expenses; Mortgage Recording Taxes. Borrower shall reimburse Lender upon receipt of written notice from Lender for (i) all reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred by Lender (or any of its affiliates) in connection with the origination of the Loan, including legal fees and disbursements, accounting fees, and the costs of the Appraisal, the Engineering Report, the Qualified Title Insurance Policy, the Qualified Survey, the Environmental Report and any other third-party diligence materials; (ii) all reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred by Lender (or any of its affiliates) in connection with (A) monitoring Borrower’s ongoing performance of and compliance with Borrower’s agreements and covenants contained in this Agreement and the other Loan Documents on its part to be performed or complied with after the Closing Date, including confirming compliance with environmental and insurance requirements, in each case in connection with an actual or imminent Default by Borrower, as determined by Lender, (B) the negotiation, preparation, execution, delivery and administration of any consents, amendments, waivers or other modifications to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and any other documents or matters requested by Borrower or by Lender, except for any request made by Lender in connection with any Assignment, Participation or Securitization, (C) filing and recording fees and expenses and other similar expenses incurred in creating and perfecting the Liens in favor of Lender pursuant to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, (D) enforcing or preserving any rights, in response to third party claims or the prosecuting or defending of any action or proceeding or other litigation, in each case against, under or affecting Borrower, TRS Lessee, this Agreement, the other Loan Documents or any Collateral, and (E) obtaining any Rating Confirmation required or requested by Borrower hereunder; and (iii) all actual out-of-pocket costs and expenses (including, if the Loan has been securitized, special servicing fees) incurred by Lender (or any of its Affiliates) in connection with the enforcement of any obligations of Borrower or TRS Lessee, or a Default by Borrower or TRS Lessee, under the Loan Documents, including any actual or attempted foreclosure, deed-in-lieu of foreclosure, refinancing, restructuring or workout and any insolvency or bankruptcy proceedings; provided, however, that notwithstanding anything in this Section 9.17, Borrower shall not be responsible for the payment of ordinary, master or primary servicing fees (as opposed to special servicing fees). For the avoidance of doubt, subject to the terms of the Cooperation Agreement, Lender shall pay the reasonable third party costs and expenses incurred by Borrower in connection with the matters set forth in Section 1.3(c) or any Securitization, except for the first $100,000 of Borrower’s legal fees in connection therewith. In addition, and notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, Borrower shall promptly following request by Lender pay any and all transfer fees and other banking charges due and payable in connection with any transfer by Lender of a Qualified Letter of Credit delivered pursuant to this Agreement.

9.18. No Third-Party Beneficiaries. This Agreement and the other Loan Documents are solely for the benefit of Lender and Borrower, and nothing contained in this Agreement or the other Loan Documents shall be deemed to confer upon anyone other than Lender and Borrower any right to insist upon or to enforce the performance or observance of any of the obligations contained

 

121


herein or therein. All conditions to the obligations of Lender to make the Loan hereunder are imposed solely and exclusively for the benefit of Lender, and no other Person shall have standing to require satisfaction of such conditions in accordance with their terms or be entitled to assume that Lender will refuse to make the Loan in the absence of strict compliance with any or all thereof, and no other Person shall under any circumstances be deemed to be a beneficiary of such conditions, any or all of which may be freely waived in whole or in part by Lender if, in Lender’s sole discretion, Lender deems it advisable or desirable to do so.

9.19. Recourse.

(a) Except for any obligations of any Person under a Loan Document to which it is a party, no recourse shall be had for the Indebtedness or for the performance or observation of any other obligation under this Agreement or any of the Loan Documents against any Affiliate of Borrower or any officer, director, partner or equityholder of Borrower or any such Affiliate. There shall be no limit on Lender’s recourse against Borrower.

(b) Borrower shall indemnify Lender and hold Lender harmless from and against any and all Damages to Lender (including the legal and other expenses of enforcing the obligations of Borrower under this Section 9.19) resulting from or arising out of any of the following (the “Indemnified Liabilities”):

(ii) the misappropriation or misapplication (in violation of the Loan Documents) by Borrower, TRS Lessee, Operating Partnership, the Sponsor or any of their respective Affiliates of any funds (including misappropriation or misapplication of Revenues, security deposits, sales proceeds and/or Loss Proceeds and the violation of the last sentence of Section 5.7(d));

(iii) any voluntary Transfer of Collateral or voluntary Lien which is prohibited hereunder;

(vi) any intentional physical waste with respect to any Mortgaged Property committed or permitted by Borrower, TRS Lessee, Operating Partnership, the Sponsor or any of their respective affiliates; and

122


9.20. Right of Set-Off. In addition to any rights now or hereafter granted under applicable law or otherwise, and not by way of limitation of any such rights, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, Lender may from time to time, without presentment, demand, protest or other notice of any kind (all of such rights being hereby expressly waived), set-off and appropriate and apply any and all deposits (general or special) and any other indebtedness at any time held or owing by Lender (including branches, agencies or Affiliates of Lender wherever located) to or for the credit or the account of Borrower against the obligations and liabilities of Borrower to Lender hereunder, under the Notes, the other Loan Documents or otherwise, irrespective of whether Lender shall have made any demand hereunder and although such obligations, liabilities or claims, or any of them, may be contingent or unmatured, and any such set-off shall be deemed to have been made immediately upon the occurrence of an Event of Default even though such charge is made or entered on the books of Lender subsequent thereto.

9.21. Exculpation of Lender. Lender neither undertakes nor assumes any responsibility or duty to Borrower or any other party to select, review, inspect, examine, supervise, pass judgment upon or inform Borrower or any third party of (a) the existence, quality, adequacy or suitability of Appraisals of the Mortgaged Properties or other Collateral, (b) any environmental report, or (c) any other matters or items, including engineering, soils and seismic reports which are contemplated in the Loan Documents. Any such selection, review, inspection, examination and the like, and any other due diligence conducted by Lender, is solely for the purpose of protecting Lender’s rights under the Loan Documents, and shall not render Lender liable to Borrower or any third party for the existence, sufficiency, accuracy, completeness or legality thereof.

9.22. Servicer. Lender may delegate any and all rights and obligations of Lender hereunder and under the other Loan Documents to the Servicer upon notice by Lender to Borrower, whereupon any notice or consent from the Servicer to Borrower, and any action by the Servicer on Lender’s behalf, shall have the same force and effect as if Servicer were Lender. Borrower shall not be responsible for any set-up fees or any other costs relating to or arising under the agreement entered into between Lender and Servicer.

9.23. Prior Agreements. THIS AGREEMENT AND THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS CONTAIN THE ENTIRE AGREEMENT OF THE PARTIES HERETO AND THERETO IN RESPECT OF THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY AND THEREBY, AND ALL PRIOR AGREEMENTS AMONG OR BETWEEN SUCH PARTIES, WHETHER ORAL OR WRITTEN, INCLUDING ANY TERM SHEETS, CONFIDENTIALITY AGREEMENTS AND COMMITMENT LETTERS, ARE SUPERSEDED BY THE TERMS OF THIS AGREEMENT AND THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS.

Firm Offer” means an offer which, when made, was capable of becoming legally binding upon acceptance.

Form of Subordination, Non-Disturbance and Attornment Agreement

SUBORDINATION, NON-DISTURBANCE AND ATTORNMENT AGREEMENT

THIS SUBORDINATION, NON-DISTURBANCE AND ATTORNMENT AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”) is dated the      day of             , 200  , and is made by and among GOLDMAN SACHS MORTGAGE COMPANY, a New York limited partnership, having an address at 85 Broad Street, New York, New York 10004, Attention: Jeffrey Fastov, (together with its successors and assigns, “Lender”),                     , d/b/a                     , having an address of                     (“Tenant”), and                     , having an address of                      (“Landlord”).

W I T N E S S E T H

WHEREAS, Tenant has entered into a lease (“Lease”) dated                      with Landlord, covering the premises known as                      (the “Premises”) within the property known as                     , more particularly described as shown on Exhibit A, attached hereto (the “Real Property”).

WHEREAS, Lender has agreed to make or has made a mortgage loan to Landlord, secured by a mortgage, deed of trust or similar security instrument of the Real Property (the “Mortgage”), and the parties desire to set forth their agreement herein.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and other valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereby agree as follows:

Section 1. Subordination. The Lease and all extensions, renewals, replacements or modifications thereof are and shall be subject and subordinate to the Mortgage and all terms and conditions thereof insofar as it affects the Real Property of which the Premises form a part, and to all renewals, modifications, consolidations, replacements and extensions thereof, to the full extent of amounts secured thereby and interest thereon.

Section 2. Attornment. Tenant shall attorn to and recognize any purchaser at a foreclosure sale under the Mortgage, any transferee who acquires the Premises by deed in lieu of foreclosure, and the successors and assigns of such purchaser(s), as its landlord for the unexpired balance (and any extensions, if exercised) of the term of the Lease on the same terms and conditions set forth in the Lease.

Section 3. Non-Disturbance. If it becomes necessary to foreclose the Mortgage, Lender shall neither terminate the Lease nor join Tenant in summary or foreclosure proceedings for the purpose of terminating the Lease so long as Tenant is not in default under any of the terms, covenants, or conditions of the Lease beyond any applicable notice and cure periods.

 

1


Section 4. Limitation of Liability. If Lender succeeds to the interest of Landlord under the Lease, Lender shall not be: (a) liable for the return of any security deposit unless such deposit has been delivered to Lender by Landlord or is in an escrow fund available to Lender, (b) bound by any rent or additional rent that Tenant might have paid for more than the current month to any prior landlord (including Landlord), (c) bound by any amendment, modification, or termination of the Lease made without Lender’s prior written consent to the extent such consent is required to be obtained by Landlord under the Loan Agreement (as defined in the Mortgage) (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed), (d) liable to Tenant for any act, omission or default of any prior landlord, (e) subject to any offset or defense which the Tenant might have against any prior landlord or (f) personally liable under the Lease, Lender’s liability thereunder being limited to its interest in the Real Property.

Section 5. Successors and Assigns. This Agreement shall be binding on and shall inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their successors and assigns.

Section 6. Notices. Tenant shall give Lender, by commercial overnight delivery service, a copy of any notice of default served on Landlord at the same time such notice is sent to the Landlord, addressed to Lender at Lender’s address set forth above or at such other address as to which Tenant has been notified in writing. Lender shall have the right, but not the obligation, to cure such default within the time period specified in the Lease.

Section 7. Payment of Rent. Landlord has agreed under the Mortgage and other loan documents that all rentals and other sums payable under the Lease shall be paid directly by Tenant to Lender upon the occurrence of certain circumstances. After receipt of notice from Lender to Tenant, at the address set forth above or at such other address as to which Lender has been notified in writing, that rentals under the Lease shall be paid to Lender, Tenant shall pay to Lender, or at the direction of Lender, all monies due or to become due to Landlord under the Lease. Tenant shall have no responsibility to ascertain whether such demand by Lender is permitted under the Mortgage, or to inquire into the existence of a default. Landlord hereby waives any right, claim, or demand it may now or hereafter have against Tenant by reason of such payment to Lender, and any such payment shall discharge the obligations of Tenant to make such payment to Landlord.

Section 8. Further documents. The foregoing provisions shall be self-operative and effective without the execution of any further instruments on the part of any party hereto. Tenant agrees, however, to execute and deliver to Mortgagee or to any person to whom Tenant herein agrees to attorn such other instruments as either shall reasonably request in order to confirm said provisions.

Section 9. Modification. This Agreement may not be modified orally or in a manner other than by an agreement signed by the parties hereto or their respective successors in interest.

Section 10. Choice of Law. This Agreement shall be governed by the internal law (and not the law of conflicts) of the State in which the Real Property is located.

Section 11. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in two or more counterparts which, when take together, shall constitute one and the same original.

CONSENT AND AGREEMENT OF MANAGER

AND SUBORDINATION OF MANAGEMENT AGREEMENT

(Mortgage)

THIS CONSENT AND AGREEMENT OF MANAGER AND SUBORDINATION OF MANAGEMENT AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”), dated as of [                ], 2007, is made by and among [                    ], a [                    ] (“Manager”), GOLDMAN SACHS MORTGAGE COMPANY, a New York limited partnership (together with its successors and permitted assigns, “Lender”), and, for the purpose of evidencing its consent to the terms, covenants and conditions contained herein, is joined by W2007 EQUITY INNS REALTY, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, and W2007 EQUITY INNS REALTY, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership (individually or collectively, as the context requires, and together with their respective successors and permitted assigns, “Borrower”), and the operating lessees identified on Schedule B (the “TRS Lessees”).

W I T N E S S E T H:

WHEREAS, Borrower and Lender are parties to a Loan Agreement, dated as of the date hereof (as the same may be modified or replaced, the “Loan Agreement”; all capitalized terms used but not defined herein shall have the meaning given such terms in the Loan Agreement);

WHEREAS, Borrower owns certain fee simple and/or leasehold estates and appurtenant interests in those certain parcels of real property identified as the “Mortgaged Properties” in the Loan Agreement, together with the buildings, structures and other improvements now or hereafter located thereon or thereunder (such parcels of real property being hereinafter referred to collectively as the “Properties”);

WHEREAS, Borrower, as lessor, and the TRS Lessees, as lessees, are parties to those certain operating lease agreements identified on Schedule B attached hereto, each dated as of the date hereof (the “TRS Leases”), pursuant to which the TRS Lessees lease and operate certain of the Properties;

WHEREAS, the Loan is evidenced by one or more promissory notes, each dated as of the date hereof, executed by Borrower and payable to the order of Lender (as the same may be amended, restated, replaced, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, collectively, the “Note”) and is secured by, among other things, those certain “Mortgages” (as defined in the Loan Agreement) executed by Borrower and the applicable TRS Lessee(s), as mortgagors, grantors or debtors, as applicable, in favor of Lender, as mortgagee, grantee, beneficiary or lender, as applicable, and encumbering each of the Properties (as the same may be modified or replaced, collectively, the “Mortgages”);

 

1


WHEREAS, pursuant to those certain hotel management agreements identified on Schedule C attached hereto, each by and between one or more of the TRS Lessees and Manager (the “Management Agreement”), Manager has agreed to operate, direct, manage and supervise the Property or Properties listed on Schedule A attached hereto (collectively, the “Managed Properties”; and each, a “Managed Property”); and

WHEREAS, Borrower is required to cause Manager to deliver this Agreement to Lender pursuant to the terms of the Loan Agreement and the other Loan Documents.

NOW, THEREFORE, for good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, and in order to induce Lender to accept the Mortgages, Manager hereby represents, warrants, covenants and agrees for the benefit of Lender as follows:

1. Representations. Manager warrants and represents to Lender, as of the date hereof, that the following are true and correct:

(a) Manager has agreed to act as manager of the Managed Properties pursuant to the Management Agreements. A true, correct and complete copy of each of the Management Agreements has been provided to Lender on or prior to the date hereof, each of which is in full force and effect, and none of the Management Agreements has been modified or amended.

(b) The entire agreement between Manager, on the one hand, and Borrower and/or the TRS Lessees, on the other hand, for the management and operation of the Managed Properties is evidenced by the Management Agreements, together with those certain agreements identified on Schedule D attached hereto.

(c) Each of the Management Agreements has been executed by the duly authorized officer(s) of Manager and constitutes the valid and binding agreement of Manager, enforceable in accordance with its terms, and Manager has full authority under all state and local laws and regulations to perform all of its obligations under such Management Agreement.

(d) Neither the applicable TRS Lessee nor Manager is in default in the performance of any of its respective obligations under any of the Management Agreements. All payments and fees required to be paid by the TRS Lessees to Manager thereunder have been paid to the date hereof and Manager has no claims against Borrower or any TRS Lessee for indemnification as of the date hereof.

(e) Neither Manager nor any of its affiliates nor, to Manager’s knowledge, any party other than Borrower or the TRS Lessees, owns any interest in any fixtures, equipment, or other articles of personal property located at each of the Managed Properties, including without limitation, the FF&E located at each of the Managed Properties.

2. Consent. Manager hereby consents to the collateral assignment of the Management Agreements to Lender as security for Borrower’s obligations in respect of the Loan, in accordance with the terms and conditions contained herein.

 

2


3. Agreements. Notwithstanding the terms of the Management Agreements, so long as any of the Mortgages encumbering the Managed Properties continues in effect, Manager hereby consents to and covenants and agrees as follows:

(a) No Amendment of Management Agreements. Manager shall not make any material modifications or amendments to any of the Management Agreements (including, without limitation, to any provision with respect to minimum working capital requirements) without first obtaining Lender’s written consent (not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) and Rating Confirmation, and no such modification or amendment without such written consent and Rating Confirmation shall be effective as to Lender.

(b) Notice to Lender and Right to Cure.

(i) Manager shall deliver to Lender a copy of any notice of termination or default from Manager to any TRS Lessee under any of the Management Agreements, which notice may be given by Manager to Lender simultaneously with such notice to the applicable TRS Lessee.

(ii) If Manager has elected to terminate the Management Agreement with respect to any of the Managed Properties as a result of a breach or default by any TRS Lessee thereunder, Manager shall give Lender at least 45 days’ (or, in the case of a breach or default by such TRS Lessee relating to its failure to provide adequate working capital in respect of payroll and related employee expenses, ten Business Days’ which ten Business Day period shall begin to run from the date Manager gives Lender notice of such default pursuant to Section 3(b)(i) in accordance with Section 9) prior written notice of such election to terminate and the reasons therefor, which notice may be delivered to Lender simultaneously with the notice to such TRS Lessee. In the event Lender (or Borrower or the TRS Lessee) shall cure, or cause to be cured, such breach or default within said 45 day period (or, in the case of a breach or default by a TRS Lessee relating to its failure to provide adequate working capital in respect of payroll and related employee expenses, ten Business Day period), then any termination notice related to such cause shall be null and void and of no further force or effect.

(c) Subordination of Management Agreements to Liens of Mortgages. The Management Agreements do not create an interest in real property or constitute covenants running with any of the Managed Properties. The Management Agreements and any and all liens, rights and interests (whether choate or inchoate and including, without limitation, all rights to payment (including, without limitation, any management fees and incentive fees payable to Manager under the Management Agreements) and all mechanic’s and materialmen’s liens under applicable law) owed or claimed by Manager or held by Manager in and to any of the Managed Properties are and shall be in all respects subordinate and inferior to: (i) Lender’s right to payment under the Note and the other Loan Documents, (ii) all obligations of TRS Lessee to Borrower under the TRS Lease including, without limitation, the payment of all base and percentage rentals thereunder (the “Lease Obligations”), and (iii) the liens and security interests created or to be created for the benefit of Lender and securing the repayment of the Note, including, without limitation, those created under the Mortgages encumbering, among other things, the fee or leasehold interest (as applicable) of the applicable Borrower, and the leasehold

 

3


or subleasehold interest (as applicable), of the applicable TRS Lessee in the Managed Properties, and all renewals, extensions, increases, supplements, amendments, modifications and replacements of each of the foregoing. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Manager hereby specifically acknowledges and agrees to the terms of (i) Section 5.10 of the Loan Agreement relating to the management of the Managed Properties and (ii) Section 5.16 of the Loan Agreement relating to the application of Loss Proceeds to the restoration and repair of the Managed Properties following casualty and condemnation.

(d) Lender’s Right to Terminate.

(i) During the continuance of an Event of Default under the Loan Agreement, Manager shall, at the request of Lender, continue performance, on behalf of Lender, of all of Manager’s obligations under the terms of the Management Agreements, notwithstanding any counterclaim, right of set-off, claim for additional payment, defense or like right of Manager against any TRS Lessee or any TRS Lessee’s default (including non-payment) under, or breach of, any of the Management Agreements, provided, that Lender sends to Manager the notice set forth in Section 3(h) hereof and performs or causes to be performed the obligations of TRS Lessees to Manager under the applicable Management Agreements (including payment of any management fees) accruing or arising from and after, and with respect to the period commencing upon, the effective date of such notice.

(ii) (A) During the continuance of an Event of Default under the Loan Agreement, regardless of whether Lender has theretofore exercised its rights under Section 3(d)(i) above; or (B) if Manager files or is the subject of a petition (and, in the case of an involuntary petition, such petition is not dismissed or discharged within 60 days) in bankruptcy, or if a trustee or receiver is appointed for Manager’s assets or if Manager makes an assignment for the benefit of creditors, or if Manager is adjudicated insolvent; then, in each such case, Lender shall have the right and option to terminate, or to cause the TRS Lessees to terminate, the Management Agreements with respect to the applicable Managed Property or Managed Properties or with respect to all of the Managed Properties by giving Manager 30 days’ prior written notice of such termination, in which event Manager shall resign as manager of the applicable Managed Property or Managed Properties effective not later than the end of such 30 day period and, without limiting any rights of Manager against the TRS Lessees (except that such rights are subordinated to the repayment in full of all of the Indebtedness and Lease Obligations to the extent set forth in Section 3(c)), Lender shall neither be bound by nor obligated to perform the covenants and obligations of the TRS Lessees under the Management Agreements. For purposes of this Section 3(d)(ii), an Event of Default shall be deemed to continue even after a foreclosure or other conveyance-in-lieu of foreclosure upon any or all of the Managed Properties. Without limiting the rights of Manager against the TRS Lessees (except that such rights are subordinated to the repayment in full of all of the Indebtedness and Lease Obligations to the extent set forth in Section 3(c)), upon the termination of any Management Agreement in accordance with the terms of this Section 3(d)(ii), Manager agrees not to look to Lender or Borrower for payment of any cancellation or termination fees or payment of any accrued but unpaid management fees

 

4


relating to any of the Managed Properties subject to such terminated Management Agreement accruing prior to the effective date of such termination or accruing in connection with or as a result of such termination.

(iii) Notwithstanding anything in the Management Agreements to the contrary, in the event that (A) Lender becomes the owner of any Managed Property or Managed Properties through foreclosure, conveyance in lieu of foreclosure or otherwise, and (B) the Management Agreements with respect to one or more of the Managed Properties is then in full force and effect, then, without the execution of any further instrument, Manager and Lender shall fully and completely recognize each other as parties under the Management Agreement with respect to such Managed Property or Managed Properties for the balance of the term thereof and any extension or renewal thereof (subject to the right of Lender to terminate (or cause the applicable TRS Lessee to terminate) the Management Agreements pursuant to Section 3(d)(ii)), upon and bound by all of the terms and conditions therein provided, so as to establish direct privity of contract between Manager and Lender. The provisions of this Section 3(d)(iii) shall be effective and self-operative without the execution of any further instrument.

(iv) In the event that Lender and Manager become direct parties to the Management Agreement with respect to any of the Managed Properties pursuant to Section 3(d)(iii), Lender shall have the right to sell, convey, transfer or otherwise assign its interest in any of such Managed Properties and/or the Management Agreement without the consent of Manager and immediately upon such transfer or assignment, Lender, Borrower and the TRS Lessees shall be released from, and have no further liability or obligations under, the applicable Management Agreements to Manager or to any other Person in respect of any of such Managed Properties, except for those liabilities and obligations in respect of any of such Managed Properties which by the express terms of such Management Agreements survive after the termination of the Management Agreements in respect of such Managed Properties, but only to the extent that such liabilities and obligations first arise after the date on which Lender becomes owner of such Managed Properties and only to the extent accruing during Lender’s ownership thereof.

(v) Nothing contained in this Agreement (including, but not limited to, Section 3(c) hereof) shall prevent Manager from terminating the Management Agreement in accordance with its terms by reason of nonpayment when due of any management fees or other fees and reimbursements due and owing to Manager under the terms of the Management Agreement (in each case, after any applicable notice and cure periods set forth therein), subject in each case to the terms of Section 3(b) hereof.

(e) Rights of First Offer. To the extent that any Management Agreement or any other agreement to which Manager or any affiliate of Manager is a party grants Manager or any such affiliate a right of first offer or similar right to purchase any one or more of the Managed Properties upon the occurrence of a sale or transfer of such Managed Property, or a sale or transfer of any direct or indirect ownership interest in Borrower or any TRS Lessee, Manager agrees, for the benefit of Borrower and Lender, that such right of first offer or similar

 

5


right will not apply in the case of (i) the acquisition of Equity Inns, Inc. and its subsidiaries by affiliates of the Whitehall Street Global Real Estate Limited Partnership 2007, as more fully described in that certain Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of June 20, 2007 or (ii) any foreclosure by Lender or any nominee of Lender, or the receipt of a deed-in-lieu of foreclosure by Lender or any such nominee, or the first sale or transfer of such Managed Property by Lender or its nominee subsequent to such foreclosure or receipt of a deed-in-lieu thereof.

(f) Further Assurances. Manager further agrees to: (i) furnish Lender upon request with copies of such information as Borrower is entitled to receive under the Management Agreements; and (ii) subject of the rights of tenants or other occupants, and subject to the rights of any ground lessors (as applicable) cooperate with Lender’s representative in any inspection of all or any portion of any of the Managed Properties.

(g) Assignment of Leases and Rents. Manager acknowledges that, as further security for the Note, Borrower and TRS Lessees have each executed and delivered to Lender, with respect to each of the Managed Properties, certain assignments of rents and leases (which may be contained in the applicable Mortgages), each dated as of the date hereof (each, an “Assignment of Leases”), assigning to Lender, among other things, all of Borrower’s and TRS Lessees’ right, title and interest in and to all of the leases now or hereafter affecting such Managed Property and all rents, income, receivables, receipts, revenues, deposits and other consideration of whatever form or nature received by or paid to or for the account of or benefit of Borrower or the TRS Lessess or their respective agents or employees from any and all sources arising from or attributable to such Managed Property.

(h) Lender Not Obligated Under Management Agreements. Manager further agrees that nothing herein shall impose upon Lender any obligation for payment or performance in favor of Manager, unless Lender notifies Manager in writing during the continuance of an Event of Default under the Loan Agreement or otherwise as permitted by the Loan Agreement, that: (i) Lender has elected to assert the applicable TRS Lessee’s rights and/or the rights of Borrower (if any) under the Management Agreement(s) with respect to a Managed Property or Managed Properties and assume its obligations thereunder with respect to such Managed Property or Managed Properties, and (ii) Lender agrees to pay, or cause to be paid to, Manager the sums due Manager with respect to such Managed Property or Managed Properties under the terms of the relevant Management Agreements from and after the effective date of Lender’s notice to Manager. In no event shall Lender be liable for any action or omission of Borrower, the TRS Lessees or any prior owner of any of the Managed Properties, bound by any amendment or modification of any of the Management Agreements made without Lender’s prior written consent or subject to any counterclaim or claims which Manager might assert or is entitled to assert against any TRS Lessee. Nothing contained in this Agreement shall be deemed a waiver or release by Manager of any rights or remedies Manager may have against the TRS Lessees under the Management Agreements (except that such rights are subordinated to the repayment in full of each and all of the Indebtedness and the Lease Obligations to the extent set forth in Section 3(c)).

(i) No Joint Venture. Lender has no obligation to Manager with respect to the Loan Agreement or the other Loan Documents, and Manager shall not be a third party

 

6


beneficiary with respect to any of Lender’s obligations to Borrower or the TRS Lessees set forth in the Loan Documents. The relationship of Lender to Borrower is one of a creditor to a debtor, and Lender is not a joint venturer or partner of Borrower.

(j) Lender’s Reliance on Representations. Manager has executed this Agreement with full knowledge that Lender shall rely upon the representations, warranties, covenants and agreements herein contained.

(k) Governed by Loan Documents. Manager agrees that until such time as all of the Mortgages encumbering any of the Managed Properties shall be released in accordance with the terms of the Loan Documents, in the course of discharging its duties under the Management Agreements, Manager shall not knowingly engage in any act or activity, or knowingly fail to engage in any act or activity, which engagement or failure to engage would constitute a violation of any affirmative or negative covenant of Borrower under the Loan Agreement, or either the Mortgages or the Assignments of Leases encumbering any of the Managed Properties, or with respect to the operation or management of the Managed Properties; provided, however, that (i) Manager’s compliance with the foregoing agreement, to the extent such compliance requires the expenditure of funds, shall at all times be expressly conditioned upon the timely provision to Manager of such funds, (ii) the term “knowingly” as used above shall mean that the applicable affirmative or negative covenant of such Borrower has been disclosed and described to Manager, (iii) the foregoing agreement shall not impose any obligation or duty on Manager to review any of the Loan Documents (but without limiting the provisions of Section 3(c)), and (iv) the foregoing agreement of Manager shall not impose upon Manager any obligation to perform services not within the scope of Manager’s duties or authority as set forth in the Management Agreements.

(l) Successors and Assigns. Manager understands that Lender may assign this Agreement and the Loan Agreement, the Note, the Mortgages and the Assignments of Leases encumbering any of the Managed Properties and the other Loan Documents. Manager agrees that this Agreement and its obligations hereunder shall be binding upon it and its successors and assigns and shall inure to the benefit of Lender and its successors and assigns, including, without limitation, any parties to whom Lender’s interest in the Note and any of the Mortgages encumbering any of the Managed Properties is assigned.

(m) Loan Agreement. Manager hereby agrees that Manager shall, in accordance with the Management Agreements, but in no circumstances less than weekly, deposit into a bank account(s), which account(s) shall be designated by Borrower or Lender and shall be either the Cash Management Account (as defined in the Loan Agreement) or the Blocked Accounts (as defined in the Loan Agreement), each under the control of Lender, all cash and credit card receipts of Borrower or TRS Lessees from the operation of the Managed Properties or otherwise arising in respect thereof (collectively, the “Operating Revenues”) received or collected by Manager in excess of the minimum working capital required under the Management Agreements. Manager shall not commingle any Operating Revenues received by it with respect to any of the Managed Properties with any of its other funds or property. Manager acknowledges and agrees that Manager shall not have any right or authority, whether express or implied, to close, make use of or withdraw any funds from, any such depository account.

 

7


(n) Not Entitled to Operating Revenues. Manager acknowledges and agrees that it is collecting and processing the Operating Revenues from the Managed Properties solely as the agent for the TRS Lessees, and Manager has no right to, or title in, such Operating Revenues. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in the Management Agreements, Manager acknowledges and agrees that the Operating Revenues from the Managed Properties are the sole property of the TRS Lessees, encumbered by the liens of the Mortgage and the other Loan Documents in favor of Lender. In any bankruptcy, insolvency or similar proceeding, Manager, or any trustee acting on behalf of the Manager, waives any claim to such Operating Revenues.

(o) Examination of Books and Records. Lender shall have the right to inspect and make copies of the books, accounts and records of Manager that relate to the Managed Properties or the Management Agreements up to four times per year (or at any time during the continuance of an Event of Default under the Loan Agreement), all at reasonable times and upon reasonable advance notice to Manager.

(p) Liquor Licenses. To the extent Manager or an affiliate thereof is the holder of the Permits required for the provision of alcoholic beverages at any of the Managed Properties, in the event that the Management Agreement is terminated for any reason with respect to any such Managed Properties, Borrower, the applicable TRS Lessee and Manager shall cooperate with, and Manager shall cause its affiliates to cooperate with, Lender to the extent permitted under applicable laws (i) to facilitate the orderly transfer to Lender or its designee of such Permits in respect of the applicable Managed Property, and (ii) to enable the continued provision of alcoholic beverages and operation of liquor services at the applicable Managed Properties without interruption, in either case, until such time as Lender or its designee shall have obtained such Permits.

4. Termination of the TRS Leases. The parties agree that the Management Agreements and the rights and benefits of Manager thereunder shall not be terminated or disturbed in any respect as a result of the termination of any TRS Lease. Accordingly, if a TRS Lease is terminated for any reason, including, without limitation, expiration of the term thereof or the “rejection” thereof following bankruptcy of the applicable TRS Lessee (collectively, a “Lease Termination”), Borrower: (a) shall recognize Manager’s rights under the relevant Management Agreement, (b) agrees that Manager shall not be named as a party in any eviction or other possessory action or proceeding, and that Manager shall not be disturbed in its right to manage the relevant Managed Property pursuant to the relevant Management Agreement, and (c) shall at the time of or prior to such Lease Termination, at its option, either (x) assume all of TRS Lessee’s rights, benefits, privileges and obligations under the relevant Management Agreement with respect to periods after the Lease Termination, or (y) provide a substitute lease reasonably acceptable to Manager and Lender and cause the lessee thereunder to assume all of the applicable TRS Lessee’s rights, benefits, privileges and obligations under the relevant Management Agreement with respect to periods after the Lease Termination.

5. Limitation on Liability. MANAGER, FOR ITSELF AND ITS OFFICERS, EMPLOYEES, DIRECTORS AND AGENTS AND THEIR RESPECTIVE SUCCESSORS AND ASSIGNS, HEREBY ACKNOWLEDGES AND AGREES THAT THE

 

8


OBLIGATIONS AND LIABILITY OF LENDER UNDER THIS AGREEMENT AND THE MANAGEMENT AGREEMENT, IF ANY, HOWSOEVER ARISING (INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, LIABILITY ARISING FROM LENDER’S NEGLIGENCE) SHALL BE LIMITED TO AND ENFORCEABLE ONLY AGAINST LENDER’S INTEREST IN THE MANAGED PROPERTIES (AS SUCH TERM IS DEFINED HEREIN) MANAGED BY MANAGER AND THE PROCEEDS THEREOF, AND NOT OUT OF OR AGAINST ANY OTHER ASSETS OR MANAGED PROPERTIES OF LENDER.

6. Borrower’s and TRS Lessees’ Consent. Borrower and TRS Lessees have joined herein to evidence their consent to the terms, covenants and conditions contained in this Agreement.

7. Governing Law. THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, WITHOUT GIVING EFFECT TO THE CONFLICT OF LAW RULES AND PRINCIPLES OF SUCH STATE.

8. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of original counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, but all of which when taken together shall constitute one and the same instrument.

9. Notices. Any notice required or permitted to be given under this Agreement shall be in writing and either shall be mailed by certified mail, postage prepaid, return receipt requested, or sent by overnight air courier service, or personally delivered to a representative of the receiving party, or sent by telecopy (provided an identical notice is also sent simultaneously by mail, overnight air courier, or personal delivery as otherwise provided in this Section 9).

(ii) Leasehold Pledgee may acquire the Ground Lease or the interests in Tenant, as applicable, through foreclosure or assignment in lieu of foreclosure, and transfer or assign the Ground Lease (or such interests), in its own name or through a nominee, and the resulting Tenant and its assignees shall thereafter be bound by all applicable terms of the Ground Lease, except that Landlord consent shall be required for any transfer to a transferee that (a) does not operate (or retain a management company to operate) a hotel of comparable quality to the hotel operated by the then existing Tenant, and (b) does not have a present net worth comparable to that of the then existing Tenant (or otherwise provide a guaranty of its obligations under the lease from an entity that itself complies with this clause).”

management company to satisfy the requirements of clauses (iii) and (v) above, the proposed transferee and Crossroads must have entered into an amendment to the Lease in form and content reasonably acceptable to Crossroads, whereby the failure of the “Lessee” under the Lease to continue to retain a third party management company meeting the requirements of such clauses shall constitute a default under the Lease.”

 

6. Rutland, VT (Parking Lot): No provision.

 

 

§4.37(x): the Ground Leases require the lessor thereunder to give notice of any default by the lessee to a holder of a leasehold mortgage; and the Ground Leases further provide that no notice given thereunder is effective against such holder, unless a copy has been given to such holder in the manner described in such Ground Lease.”

5

§4.37(xii): in the case of any default which is not curable by a holder of a leasehold mortgage, or in the event of the bankruptcy or insolvency of the lessee under one of the Ground Leases, such holder has the right, following termination of such existing Ground Lease or rejection thereof by a bankruptcy trustee or similar party, to enter into a new ground lease with the lessor on the same terms as such existing Ground Lease, and all rights of the lessee under such Ground Lease may be exercised by or on behalf of such holder.”
