If Lender determines in its reasonable judgment that the funds in the Tax and Insurance Subaccount will be insufficient to pay (or in excess of) the Taxes or Insurance Premiums next coming due for the applicable Individual Property, Lender may increase (or decrease) the monthly contribution required to be made by Borrower to the Tax and Insurance Subaccount.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 3.3, Borrower shall have no obligation to deposit monies into the Tax and Insurance Subaccount for the payment of Insurance Premiums so long as each Individual Property is covered by a blanket insurance policy that satisfies the insurance requirements set forth in Section 7.1 hereof.  In the event that any Individual Property shall no longer be covered by such blanket insurance policy, Lender may, in its sole discretion, apply the Initial Insurance Premium Deposit (or portion thereof) from the Tax and Insurance Subaccount to force place insurance for such Individual Property (and pay the Insurance Premiums with respect thereto) and Borrower’s obligation to deposit monies into the Tax and Insurance Subaccount for the payment of Insurance Premiums with respect to such Individual Property shall immediately resume.

Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, Lender may apply any sums in any Cash Management Account in any order and in any manner as Lender shall elect in Lender’s discretion without seeking the appointment of a receiver and without adversely affecting the rights of Lender to foreclose the Lien of the Security Instrument or exercise its other rights under the Loan Documents.  Cash Management Accounts shall not constitute trust funds and may not be commingled with other monies held by Lender.  Borrower shall be entitled to receive on a semi–annual basis interest on any balance in the Deposit Account and any Subaccounts other than Subaccounts established for the collection of Escrows (including any Eligible Account maintained at a bank or other depository other than the Deposit Bank selected by Lender in accordance with Section 3.1) at a rate equal to the U.S. and Regional Composite National Bank Average Retail Savings Money Market CD Yield, from time to time.

All transfer taxes, deed stamps, intangible taxes or other amounts in the nature of transfer taxes required to be paid by any Person under applicable Legal Requirements in connection with the transfer of the Property to Borrower have been paid.  The Security Instrument when properly recorded in the appropriate records, together with any UCC Financing Statements required to be filed in connection therewith, will create (i) a valid, perfected first priority lien on Borrower’s and Operating Lessee’s respective interests in the Property and (ii) to the extent that a security interest can be created therein under the UCC, valid and perfected first priority security interests in and to, and perfected collateral assignments of, all personalty (including the Leases), all in accordance with the terms thereof, in each case subject only to any applicable Permitted Encumbrances.

Federal Reserve Regulations; Investment Company Act
		
			.

Borrower is not (i) an “investment company” or a company “controlled” by an “investment company,” within the meaning of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended; (ii) a “holding company” or a “subsidiary company” of a “holding company” or an “affiliate” of either a “holding company” or a “subsidiary company” within the meaning of the Public Utility Holding Company Act of 2005, as amended; or (iii) subject to any other federal or state law or regulation which purports to restrict or regulate its ability to borrow money.
		
Utilities and Public Access
		
			.  Each Individual Property has rights of access to public ways and is served by water, sewer, sanitary sewer and storm drain facilities adequate to service it for its intended uses.  All public utilities necessary or convenient to the full use and enjoyment of each Individual Property are located in the public right–of–way abutting such Individual Property, and all such utilities are connected so as to serve such Individual Property without passing over other property absent a valid easement.  All roads necessary for the use of each Individual Property for its current purpose have been completed and dedicated to public use and accepted by all Governmental Authorities.
		
Physical Condition
		
			.  Except as disclosed in the property condition reports delivered to Lender in connection with the closing of the Loan, to Borrower’s and Operating Lessee’s knowledge, the Property, including all Improvements, parking facilities, systems, Equipment and landscaping, are in good condition, order and repair in all material respects; there exists no structural or other material defect or damages to the Property, whether latent or otherwise.  Neither Borrower nor Operating Lessee has received notice from any insurance company or bonding company of any defect or inadequacy in the Property, or any part thereof, which would adversely affect its insurability or cause the imposition of extraordinary premiums or charges thereon or any termination of any policy of insurance or bond.  No portion of the Property is located in an area as identified by the Federal Emergency Management Agency as an area having special flood hazards.
		

		
			
		

		 


		

			47

		




 


		

			 

		




		
		
Leases
		
			.  There are no Leases affecting the use, enjoyment or occupancy of, or the conduct of any activity upon or in, the Property or the Improvements, or any portion(s) thereof, other than the Operating Leases and the Tour Desk Leases.    Borrower has delivered to Lender true, correct and complete copies of the Tour Desk Leases.

The lessees under the Tour Desk Leases have accepted possession of and are in occupancy of all of their respective demised premises, have commenced the payment of rent under the Tour Desk Leases, and there are no offsets, claims or defenses to the enforcement thereof.  All rents due and payable under the Tour Desk Leases have been paid and no portion thereof has been paid for any period more than one (1) month in advance.  No lessee has made any claim against the lessor under any Tour Desk Lease which remains outstanding there are no defaults on the part of the lessor under any Tour Desk Lease, and no event has occurred which, with the giving of notice or passage of time, or both, would constitute such a default.  There is no present material default by the lessee under any Tour Desk Lease.  The Tour Desk Leases do not contain any option to purchase or right of first refusal to purchase the Property or any part thereof.  Other than the Operating Lessee and the lessees under the Tour Desk Leases, there are no tenants or any other Persons (other than hotel guests) with any rights to use or occupy the Property or the Improvements, or any portion(s) thereof. 
		
Fraudulent Transfer
		
			.  Neither Borrower nor Operating Lessee has entered into the Loan or any Loan Document with the actual intent to hinder, delay, or defraud any creditor, and Borrower and Operating Lessee have received reasonably equivalent value in exchange for their obligations under the Loan Documents and the Project Loan Documents collectively.  Giving effect to the transactions contemplated by the Loan Documents, the fair saleable value of Borrower’s assets exceeds and will, immediately following the execution and delivery of the Loan Documents, exceed Borrower’s total liabilities, including subordinated, unliquidated, disputed or contingent liabilities, including the maximum amount of its contingent liabilities or its debts as such debts become absolute and matured.  Borrower’s assets do not and, immediately following the execution and delivery of the Loan Documents will not, constitute unreasonably small capital to carry out its business as conducted or as proposed to be conducted.  Borrower does not intend to, and does not believe that it will, incur debts and liabilities (including contingent liabilities and other commitments) beyond its ability to pay such debts as they mature (taking into account the timing and amounts to be payable on or in respect of obligations of Borrower).
		
Ownership of Borrower
		
			.  The organizational chart attached hereto as Schedule 3 is complete and accurate and illustrates all Persons who have a ten percent (10%) or greater direct or indirect ownership interest in Borrower and Operating Lessee.
		
Management Agreement
		
			.  The Management Agreement is in full force and effect.  There is no default, breach or violation existing thereunder, and no event has occurred (other than payments due but not yet delinquent) that, with the passage of time or the giving of notice, or both, would constitute a default, breach or violation thereunder, by either party thereto.  Pursuant to and in accordance with the Subordination of Management Agreement, the management fees and the terms and provisions of the Management Agreement, are subordinate to the Loan Documents.  Hersha Hospitality Management L.P. is not an affiliate of Borrower, Operating Lessee or Guarantor.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event of a Casualty with respect to which Borrower reasonably estimates that Borrower cannot complete Restoration of the applicable Individual Property prior to the Stated Maturity Date, and in the event that the available Proceeds are sufficient, then in lieu of Restoration, Borrower may, upon not less than sixty (60) days prior written notice, either:  (i) apply the Proceeds to repay the Loan in its entirety, or (ii) so long as the Proceeds equal not less than the Release Amount for the applicable Individual Property, apply the Proceeds to obtain a Release of the applicable Individual Property in accordance with Section 10.24 hereof (provided that in such instance a transfer to a third party shall not be required), and no Yield Maintenance Premium shall be payable in connection therewith.
		
Settlement of Proceeds
		
			.  If a Casualty covered by any of the Policies (an “Insured Casualty”) occurs at an Individual Property where the loss does not exceed fifteen percent (15%) of the Allocated Loan Amount of such Individual Property, provided no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, Borrower may settle and adjust any (or cause Operating Lessee to settle and adjust) claim without the prior consent of Lender; provided such adjustment is carried out in a competent and timely manner, and Borrower is hereby authorized to collect and receipt for the insurance proceeds (the “Proceeds”).  In the event of an Insured Casualty at an Individual Property where the loss equals or exceeds fifteen percent (15%) of the Allocated Loan Amount of such Individual Property (a “Significant Casualty”), Lender may, in its sole but reasonable discretion, settle and adjust any claim with the consent of Borrower which shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed and agree with the insurer(s) on the amount to be paid on the loss, and the Proceeds shall be due and payable solely to Lender and held by Lender in the Casualty/Condemnation Subaccount and disbursed in accordance herewith.  If Borrower or Operating Lessee or any party other than Lender is a payee on any check representing Proceeds with respect to a Significant Casualty, Borrower or Operating Lessee, as applicable, shall immediately endorse, and cause all such third parties to endorse, such check payable to the order of Lender.  Borrower and Operating Lessee hereby irrevocably appoint Lender as its attorney–in–fact, coupled with an interest, to endorse such check payable to the order of Lender. The expenses incurred by Lender in the settlement, adjustment and collection of the Proceeds shall become part of the Debt and shall be reimbursed by Borrower to Lender upon demand.

Following the occurrence of a Condemnation, Borrower, regardless of whether an Award is available, shall promptly proceed to restore, repair, replace or rebuild (or shall cause Operating Lessee to promptly restore, repair, replace or rebuild) such Individual Property in accordance with Legal Requirements to the extent practicable to be of at least equal value and of substantially the same character (and to have the same utility) as prior to such Condemnation.

Notwithstanding any Condemnation (or any transfer made in lieu of or in anticipation of such Condemnation), Borrower shall continue to pay the Debt at the time and in the manner provided for in the Loan Documents, and the Debt shall not be reduced unless and until any Award shall have been actually received and applied by Lender to expenses of collecting the Award and to discharge of the Debt. Lender shall not be limited to the interest paid on the Award by the condemning authority but shall be entitled to receive out of the Award interest at the rate or rates provided in the Note.  If any Individual Property is sold, through foreclosure or otherwise, prior to the receipt by Lender of such Award, Lender shall have the right, whether or not a deficiency judgment on the Note shall be recoverable or shall have been sought, recovered or denied, to receive all or a portion of the Award sufficient to pay the Debt that remains outstanding.  Borrower and Operating Lessee shall cause any Award that is payable to Borrower or to Operating Lessee to be paid directly to Lender.  Lender shall hold such Award in the Casualty/Condemnation Subaccount and disburse such Award in accordance with the terms hereof.

Borrower shall commence and diligently prosecute (or shall cause Operating Lessee to shall commence and diligently prosecute) such Restoration.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event shall Lender be obligated to apply the Proceeds or Award to reimburse Borrower and Operating Lessee for the cost of Restoration unless, in addition to satisfaction of the foregoing conditions, both (x) Borrower shall (or shall cause Operating Lessee to) pay (and if required by Lender, Borrower shall (or shall cause Operating Lessee to) deposit with Lender in advance) all costs of such Restoration in excess of the net amount of the Proceeds or the Award to be made available pursuant to the terms hereof; and (y) Lender shall have received evidence reasonably satisfactory to it that during the period of the Restoration, the Rents will be at least equal to the sum of the operating expenses and Debt Service and “Debt Service” under, and as such quoted term is defined in, the Project Loan Agreement, in each case, as reasonably determined by Lender.

Application to Debt

Any such prepayment of the Loan shall be subject to the Exit Fee, but shall otherwise be without any Yield Maintenance Premium, unless an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing at the time the Proceeds are received from the insurance company or the Award is received from the condemning authority, as the case may be, in which event Borrower shall pay to Lender an additional amount equal to the Yield Maintenance Premium, if any, that may be required with respect to the amount of the Proceeds or Award applied to the unpaid Principal.  Following the commencement of amortization of the Loan in accordance with the terms of Section 2.10 hereof, after any such application to the unpaid Principal, the remaining unpaid Principal shall be reamortized over the remaining Term hereof.
		
Procedure for Application to Restoration
		
			.  If Borrower or Operating Lessee is entitled to reimbursement out of the Proceeds or an Award held by Lender, such Proceeds or Award shall be disbursed from time to time from the Casualty/Condemnation Subaccount upon Lender being furnished with (i) evidence satisfactory to Lender of the estimated cost of completion of the Restoration, (ii) a fixed price or guaranteed maximum cost construction contract for Restoration satisfactory to Lender, (iii) prior to the commencement of Restoration, all immediately available funds in addition to the Proceeds or Award that in Lender’s judgment are required to complete the proposed Restoration, (iv) such architect’s certificates, waivers of lien (except with respect to Permitted Encumbrances), contractor’s sworn statements, title insurance endorsements, bonds, plats of survey, permits, approvals, licenses and such other documents and items as Lender may reasonably require and approve in Lender’s reasonable discretion, and (v) all plans and specifications and construction contracts for such Restoration, such plans and specifications and construction contracts to be approved by Lender in its reasonable discretion prior to commencement of any work.  Lender may, at Borrower’s expense, retain a consultant to review and approve all requests for disbursements, which approval shall also be a condition precedent to any disbursement.  No payment made prior to the final completion of the Restoration shall exceed ninety percent (90%) of the value of the work performed from time to time; funds other than the Proceeds or Award shall be disbursed prior to disbursement of such Proceeds or Award; and at all times, the undisbursed balance of such Proceeds or Award remaining in the hands of Lender, together with funds deposited for that purpose or irrevocably committed to the satisfaction of Lender by or on behalf of Borrower 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.  Provided no Default or Event of Default then exists, any surplus that remains out of the Proceeds held by Lender after payment of such costs of Restoration shall be paid to Borrower.  Any surplus that remains out of the Award received by Lender after payment of such costs of Restoration shall, in the discretion of Lender, be retained by Lender and applied to payment of the Debt or returned to Borrower.

Prepayment upon Partial Condemnation
		
			.  Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions in this Section 7, if the Loan or any portion thereof is included in a REMIC Trust and immediately following a release of any portion of the Lien of the Security Instrument in connection with a Condemnation (but taking into account any proposed Restoration of the remaining portion of the Property that remains subject to the Lien), the Loan-to-Value ratio of the remaining portion of the Property that remains subject to the Lien is greater than 125% (such value to be determined, in Lender’s sole discretion, by any commercially reasonable method permitted to a REMIC Trust based solely on real property and excluding any personal property and going concern value, if any), then the principal balance of the Loan and the Project Loan must be paid down (without payment of any Yield Maintenance Premium in connection therewith, but subject to the payment of the Exit Fee) by an amount equal to the least of the following amounts: (i) the net Condemnation Award, (ii) the fair market value of the released property at the time of the release, or (iii) an amount such that the Loan-to-Value ratio (as so determined by Lender) does not increase after the release unless Lender receives an opinion of counsel that if such amount is not paid, the securitization will not fail to maintain its status as a REMIC Trust as a result of the related release of such portion of the Lien of the Security Instrument.

Remedies
		
			.
		
Acceleration
		
			.  Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default (other than an Event of Default described in subsection (f) or (g) of Section 8.1) and at any time and from time to time thereafter, in addition to any other rights or remedies available to it pursuant to the Loan Documents or at law or in equity, Lender may take such action, without notice or demand, that Lender deems advisable to protect and enforce its rights against Borrower and Operating Lessee and in and to the Property; including declaring the Debt to be immediately due and payable (including unpaid interest), Default Rate interest, Late Payment Charges, Yield Maintenance Premium, Exit Fee and any other amounts owing by Borrower), without notice or demand; and upon any Event of Default described in subsection (f) or (g) of Section 8.1, the Debt (including unpaid interest, Default Rate interest, Late Payment Charges, Yield Maintenance Premium, Exit Fee and any other amounts owing by Borrower) shall immediately and automatically become due and payable, without notice or demand, and Borrower and Operating Lessee each hereby expressly waive any such notice or demand, anything contained in any Loan Document to the contrary notwithstanding.
		

		

		

		 


		

			86

		




 


		

			 

		




		
		
Remedies Cumulative
		
			.  Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, all or any one or more of the rights, powers, privileges and other remedies available to Lender against Borrower and Operating Lessee under the Loan Documents or at law or in equity may be exercised by Lender at any time and from time to time, whether or not all or any of the Debt shall be declared, or be automatically, due and payable, and whether or not Lender shall have commenced any foreclosure proceeding or other action for the enforcement of its rights and remedies under any of the Loan Documents.  Any such 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 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 the Loan Documents.  Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Borrower and Operating Lessee each agree that if an Event of Default is continuing, (i) to the extent permitted by applicable law, Lender is not subject to any “one action” or “election of remedies” law or rule, and (ii) all Liens and other rights, remedies or privileges provided to Lender shall remain in full force and effect until Lender has exhausted all of its remedies against all of the Property, the Security Instrument has been foreclosed, all of the Property has been sold or otherwise realized upon in satisfaction of the Debt or the Debt has been paid in full.  To the extent permitted by applicable law, nothing contained in any Loan Document shall be construed as requiring Lender to resort to any portion of the Property for the satisfaction of any of the Debt in preference or priority to any other portion, and Lender may seek satisfaction out of the entire Property or any part thereof, in its discretion.  In addition, Lender shall have the right from time to time to partially foreclose the Security Instrument in any manner and in any order and for any amount secured by such Security Instrument then due and payable as determined by Lender in its sole discretion, including, without limitation, the following circumstances: (i) in the event Borrower defaults beyond any applicable grace period in the payment of one or more scheduled payments of Principal and/or interest on the Note, Lender may foreclose the Security Instrument to recover such delinquent payments or (ii) in the event Lender elects to accelerate less than the entire Principal, Lender may foreclose the Security Instrument to recover so much of principal balance of the Loan as Lender may accelerate and such other sums secured by the Security Instrument as Lender may elect. Notwithstanding one or more partial foreclosures, the Property shall remain subject to the Security Instrument to secure payment of sums secured by such Security Instrument and not previously recovered.  Any amounts recovered from the Property or any other collateral for the Loan after an Event of Default may be applied by Lender toward the payment of any interest and/or Principal and/or any other amounts due under the Loan Documents in such order, priority and proportions as Lender in its sole discretion shall determine.
		

		

		

		 


		

			87

		




 


		

			 

		




		
		
Severance
		
			.  Lender shall have the right from time to time to sever the Note and the other Loan Documents into one or more separate notes, mortgages and other security documents (and, in connection therewith, to bifurcate or otherwise modify the nature of the collateral that secures such notes) in such denominations and priorities of payment and liens as Lender shall determine in its discretion for purposes of evidencing and enforcing its rights and remedies.  Borrower and Operating Lessee shall execute and deliver to Lender from time to time, promptly after the request of Lender, a severance agreement and such other documents as Lender shall request in order to effect the severance described in the preceding sentence, all in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Lender.  Borrower and Operating Lessee hereby absolutely and irrevocably appoints Lender as its true and lawful attorney, coupled with an interest, in its name and stead to make and execute all documents necessary or desirable to effect such severance, Borrower and Operating Lessee ratifying all that such attorney shall do by virtue thereof, provided that Lender shall first have requested Borrower and Operating Lessee to execute such documents and Borrower and/or Operating Lessee, as applicable, shall have failed to do so for a period of three (3) Business Days.
		
Delay
		
			.  No delay or omission to exercise any remedy, right or power accruing upon an Event of Default, or the granting of any indulgence or compromise by Lender shall impair any such remedy, right or power hereunder or be construed as a waiver thereof, but any such remedy, right or power may be exercised from time to time and as often as may be deemed expedient.  A waiver of one Default or Event of Default 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.  Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, Lender reserves the right to seek a deficiency judgment or preserve a deficiency claim in connection with the foreclosure of the Security Instrument to the extent necessary to foreclose on all or any portion of the Property, the Rents, the Cash Management Accounts or any other collateral.
		
Lender’s Right to Perform
		
			.      If Borrower or Operating Lessee fails to perform any covenant or obligation contained herein and such failure constitutes an Event of Default, without in any way limiting Lender’s right to exercise any of its rights, powers or remedies as provided hereunder, or under any of the other Loan Documents, Lender may, while such Event of Default is continuing, but shall have no obligation to, perform, or cause the performance of, such covenant or obligation, and all costs, expenses, liabilities, penalties and fines of Lender incurred or paid in connection therewith shall be payable by Borrower to Lender upon demand and if not paid shall be added to the Debt (and to the extent permitted under applicable laws, secured by the Security Instrument and other Loan Documents) and shall bear interest thereafter at the Default Rate.
		

		

		

		 


		

			88

		




 


		

			 

		




		
		

			
	
			
				 (v)
			Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, and at any time and from time to time thereafter while any Event of Default is continuing, in addition to any other rights and remedies available to Lender pursuant to the Loan Documents or at law or in equity, Lender, personally, or by its agents or attorneys, may enter into and upon all or any part of the Property, and each and every part thereof, and is hereby given a right and license and appointed Borrower’s attorney-in-fact and exclusive agent to do so, and may exclude Borrower, its agents and servants wholly therefrom, and, having and holding the same, may, either personally or by its superintendents, managers, agents, servants, attorneys or receivers, complete the PIP Project, or any components thereof, and, in the course of such completion, may make such changes to the PIP Budget (but for the avoidance of doubt, not to the scope of the PIP) as Lender may deem reasonably necessary in order to achieve Completion of the PIP Project, and may insure the same and may use, operate, manage and control the Improvements and the Property (or any portion thereof) and conduct the business thereof, all at the expense of Borrower.



Licenses
		
			.  Moreover, Borrower and Operating Lessee hereby agree that, upon an Event of Default, they will (x) assign the Licenses to Lender if such Licenses are assignable or otherwise continue to hold such Licenses for the benefit of Lender until such time as Lender can obtain such Licenses in its own name or the name of a nominee and (y) execute and deliver all documents, applications and other written instruments necessary to transfer any liquor licenses or such other Licenses with respect to the Property into the name of Lender or its designee.

			.    Lender may, at any time, sell, transfer or assign the Loan together with the Project Loan, the Loan Documents together with the Project Loan Documents and any or all servicing rights with respect thereto, or grant participations therein or enter into a Syndication or issue mortgage pass–through certificates or other securities evidencing a beneficial interest in a rated or unrated public offering or private placement (the “Securities”) secured by or evidencing ownership interests in the Note and the Security Instrument (each such sale, assignment, participation, Syndication or securitization, a “Secondary Market Transaction”).  For the avoidance of doubt, so long as no Event of Default is continuing, Lender may not sell the Loan and the Project Loan separately.  Lender may forward to each purchaser, transferee, assignee, servicer, participant, investor in such Securities or any Rating Agency (all of the foregoing entities collectively referred to as the “Investor”) and each prospective Investor, all documents and information which Lender now has or may hereafter acquire relating to the Loan and to Borrower, Borrower Representative, Operating Lessee, the Mezzanine Loan Parties, Guarantor and any Cindat Entity and the Property, whether furnished by Borrower, Borrower Representative, Operating Lessee, the Mezzanine Loan Parties, Guarantor, such Cindat Entity or otherwise, as Lender determines necessary or appropriate.

				 (b)

Part 210), and statements of income and statements of cash flows with respect to such Individual Property for the three most recent Fiscal Years and applicable interim periods, meeting the requirements of Rule 3-02 of Regulation S-X (or if Lender determines that such Individual Property is the Significant Obligor and such Individual Property (other than properties that are hotels, nursing homes, or other properties that would be deemed to constitute a business and not real estate under Regulation S-X or other legal requirements) was acquired from an unaffiliated third party and the other conditions set forth in Rule 3-14 of Regulation S-X have been met, the financial statements required by Rule 3-14 of Regulation S-X)).

				 (j)
			Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party under this Section 9.3 of notice of the commencement of any action, such indemnified party will, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against the indemnifying party under this Section 9.3, notify the indemnifying party in writing of the commencement thereof, but the omission to so notify the indemnifying party will not relieve the indemnifying party from any liability which the indemnifying party may have to any indemnified party hereunder except to the extent that failure to notify causes prejudice to the indemnifying party.  In the event that any action is brought against any indemnified party, and it notifies the indemnifying party of the commencement thereof, the indemnifying party will be entitled, jointly with any other indemnifying party, to participate therein and, to the extent that it (or they) may elect by written notice delivered to the indemnified party promptly after receiving the aforesaid notice from such indemnified party, to assume the defense thereof with counsel satisfactory to such indemnified party.  After notice from the indemnifying party to such indemnified party under this Section 9.3, such indemnified party shall pay for any legal or other expenses subsequently incurred by such indemnified party in connection with the defense thereof other than reasonable costs of investigation; provided, however, if the defendants in any such action include both the indemnified party and the indemnifying party and the indemnified party shall have reasonably concluded that there are any legal defenses available to it and/or other indemnified parties that are different from or additional to those available to the indemnifying party, the indemnified party or parties shall have the right to select separate counsel to assert such legal defenses and to otherwise participate in the defense of such action on behalf of such indemnified party at the cost of the indemnifying party.  The indemnifying party shall not be liable for the expenses of more than one separate counsel unless an indemnified party shall have reasonably concluded that there may be legal defenses available to it that are different from or additional to those available to the indemnifying party.  Without the prior written consent of Lender (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed), no indemnifying party shall settle or compromise or consent to the entry of any judgment in any pending or threatened claim, action, suit or proceeding in respect of which indemnification may be sought hereunder (whether or not any indemnified party is an actual or potential party to such claim, action, suit or proceeding) unless the indemnifying party shall have given Lender reasonable prior written notice thereof and shall have obtained an unconditional release of each indemnified party hereunder from all liability arising out of such claim, action, suit or proceedings.

				 (k)
			In order to provide for just and equitable contribution in circumstances in which the indemnity agreement provided for in Section 9.3(a) or (b) is for any reason held to be unenforceable as to an indemnified party in respect of any Liabilities (or action in respect thereof) referred to therein which would otherwise be indemnifiable under Section 9.3(a) or (b), the indemnifying party shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by the indemnified party as a result of such Liabilities (or action in respect thereof); provided, however, that no Person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any Person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation.  In determining the amount of contribution to which the respective parties are entitled, the following factors shall be considered: (i) the Issuer’s and Borrower’s relative knowledge and access to information concerning the matter with respect to which the claim was asserted; (ii) the opportunity to correct and prevent any statement or omission; and (iii) any other equitable considerations appropriate in the circumstances.  Lender and Borrower hereby agree that it would not be equitable if the amount of such contribution were determined by pro rata or per capita allocation.




			
	
			
				 (l)
			The liabilities and obligations of both Borrower and Lender under this Section 9.3 shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the satisfaction and discharge of the Debt.

Restructuring of Loan and/or Project Loan
		
			.  Lender, without in any way limiting Lender’s other rights hereunder, in its sole and absolute discretion, shall have the right at any time to require Borrower and Operating Lessee to restructure the Loan and/or the Project Loan into multiple notes (which may include component notes or senior and junior notes) or to create participation interests in the Loan and/or the Project Loan, and which restructuring may include reallocation of principal amounts of the Loan and/or the Project Loan (including, by way of example, the increase or decrease in the principal amount of the senior note and instrument securing same, and the corresponding decrease or increase in the principal amounts of the junior note(s) and the security instrument(s) securing same), the establishment of different interest rates and debt service payments for such notes and the order of priority as may be designated by Lender with respect to such notes; provided, that (i) the total amounts of such notes shall equal the amount of the Loan and/or the Project Loan immediately prior to the restructuring, (ii) except in the case of an Event of Default under the Loan and/or the Project Loan, the weighted average interest rate of such notes, if any, shall, in the aggregate, equal the interest rate which was applicable to the Loan and/or the Project Loan immediately prior to the restructuring, (iii) except in the case of an Event of Default under the Loan and/or the Project Loan, the debt service payments on such notes shall equal the debt service payment which was due under the Loan and/or the Project Loan immediately prior to the restructuring, (iv) subject to Section 9.6 hereof, any such restructuring carried out after the closing of the Loan and/or the Project Loan shall be at Borrower’s cost and (v) such restructuring shall not have a material adverse effect on the Term or the other economic terms and conditions of the Loan or decrease the rights of Borrower or increase the obligations of Borrower other than to a de minimis extent and/or as would be typical given the nature of the obligations of a borrower under a standard subordinate loan or a loan with component notes.  Borrower and Operating Lessee shall cooperate with all reasonable requests of Lender in order to restructure the Loan and/or the Project Loan and shall (A) execute and deliver such documents and (B) cause Borrower’s counsel to deliver such legal opinions as, in the case of each of (A) and (B) above, shall be reasonably required by Lender and required by any Rating Agency in connection therewith, all in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Lender and satisfactory to any such Rating Agency, including the severance of this Agreement, the Security Instrument and other Loan Documents and/or Project Loan Documents if requested.  In the event Borrower and Operating Lessee fail to execute and deliver such documents to Lender within ten (10) Business Days following such request by Lender, Borrower and Operating Lessee hereby absolutely and irrevocably appoints Lender as its true and lawful attorney, coupled with an interest, in its name and stead to make and execute all documents necessary or desirable to effect such transactions, Borrower and Operating Lessee each ratifying all that such attorney shall do by virtue thereof.  It shall be an Event of Default if Borrower or Operating Lessee fails to comply with any of the terms, covenants or conditions of this Section 9 after the expiration of fifteen (15) Business Days after notice thereof.  Borrower covenants and agrees that any such reallocation (as described above) will be in compliance with the representations and warranties set forth in Section 4.1 and Section 5.12 hereof.

Syndication
		
			.
		

			
	
			
				 (m)
			In connection with any syndication of all or a portion of the Loan to one or more lenders (each a “Syndication”), Lender may, at its option, without Borrower’s consent, sell with novation all or any part of its right, title and interest in, to, and under the Loan, to one or more additional Persons (each a “Co-Lender”).  From and after the effective date of a Syndication (A) each Co-Lender shall be a party hereto and to each Loan Document, and, except as specified otherwise herein, shall succeed to the rights and obligations of Lender and the Co-Lenders hereunder and thereunder in respect of the Loan, and (B) Lender, as lender and each Co-Lender, as applicable, shall, to the extent such rights and obligations have been assigned by it, relinquish its rights and be released from its obligations hereunder and under the Loan Documents that arise from and after the effective date of any such Syndication.




			
	
			
				 (n)
			The liabilities of Lender and each of the Co-Lenders shall be several and not joint.  Neither Lender nor any Co-Lender shall be responsible for the obligations of any other Co-Lender.  Lender and each Co-Lender shall be liable to Borrower only for their respective proportionate shares of the Loan.




			
	
			
				 (o)
			Lender (or an Affiliate of Lender) shall act as administrative noteholder for itself and any Co-Lenders (together with any successor administrative noteholder, the “Agent”).  Borrower acknowledges that Lender, as Agent, shall have the sole and exclusive authority to execute, perform and administer this Agreement and each Loan Document on behalf of itself, as Lender and as Agent for itself and the Co-Lenders, subject to the terms of any co-lending agreement.  Except as otherwise provided herein, no Co-Lender shall have any right to deal directly with Borrower with respect to the rights, benefits and obligations of Borrower under this Agreement, the Loan Documents or any one or more documents or instruments in respect thereof.  Borrower may rely conclusively on the actions of Lender as Agent to bind Lender and the Co-Lenders, notwithstanding that the particular action in question may, pursuant to this Agreement or any co-lending agreement be subject to the consent or direction of some or all of the Co-Lenders.  Lender may resign as Agent of the Co-Lenders, in its sole discretion, or if required to by the Co-Lenders, in accordance with the term of any co-lending agreement.  The term Agent shall mean any successor Agent.




			
	
			
				 (p)
			Lender, as Agent, shall have the same rights and powers under this Agreement as any other Co-Lender and may exercise the same as though it were not Agent, respectively.  The term “Co-Lender” or “Co-Lenders” shall, unless otherwise expressly indicated, include Lender in its individual capacity.  Lender and the other Co-Lenders and their respective Affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to, act as trustee under indentures of, and generally engage in any kind of business with, Borrower, or any Affiliate of Borrower and any Person who may do business with or own securities of Borrower or any Affiliate of Borrower, all as if they were not serving in such capacities hereunder and without any duty to account therefor to each other.

				 (q)
			If required by Lender or any Co-Lender, Borrower hereby agrees to execute supplemental notes in the principal amount of such Co-Lender’s pro rata share of the Loan substantially in the form of the Note, and such supplemental note shall (i) be payable to order of such Co-Lender, (ii) be dated as of the closing date of the Syndication, and (iii) mature on the Maturity Date.  Such supplemental note shall provide that it evidences a portion of the existing indebtedness hereunder and under the Note and not any new or additional indebtedness of Borrower.  The term “Note” as used in this Agreement and in all the other Loan Documents shall include all such supplemental notes.




			
	
			
				 (r)
			The parties hereto acknowledge and agree that the identification of Compass as “Documentation Agent” and MTB as “Syndication Agent” in this Agreement shall not confer any rights, privileges or obligations on Compass or MTB that are not afforded to the other Co-Lenders pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement or any co-lending agreement.



Costs and Expenses
		
			.  In the event that a Secondary Market Transaction closes after the date of this Agreement, Borrower shall be responsible for (i) all of Borrower’s costs and expenses (including, without limitation, its attorneys’ fees and expenses) incurred in connection therewith and (ii) all of Lender’s and Agent’s reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred in connection therewith (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses and, to the extent required by Lender or Agent, appraisals, environmental reviews and property condition reports) not to exceed $250,000 in the aggregate during the entire Term of the Loan for all such Secondary Market Transactions in the case of such costs and expenses described in this clause (ii).

Certain Limitations

Headings/Exhibits

The Exhibits attached hereto, are hereby incorporated by reference as a part of the Agreement with the same force and effect as if set forth in the body hereof.
		
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.
		
Preferences
		
			.  Upon the occurrence and continuance of an Event of Default, Lender shall have the continuing and exclusive right to apply or reverse and reapply (or having so applied, to reverse and reapply) any and all payments by Borrower to any portion of the Debt.  To the extent Borrower makes a payment to Lender, or Lender receives proceeds of any collateral, which is in whole or in part 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 Debt or part 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.

Remedies of Borrower and Operating Lessee
		
			.  If a claim or adjudication is made that Lender or any of its agents, including Servicer, has acted unreasonably or unreasonably delayed acting in any case where by law or under any Loan Document, Lender or any such agent, as the case may be, has an obligation to act reasonably or promptly, Borrower and Operating Lessee agree that neither Lender nor its agents, including Servicer, shall be liable for any monetary damages, and Borrower’s and Operating Lessee’s sole remedy shall be to commence an action seeking injunctive relief or declaratory judgment.  Any action or proceeding to determine whether Lender has acted reasonably shall be determined by an action seeking declaratory judgment.  Borrower and Operating Lessee specifically waive any claim against Lender and its agents, including Servicer, with respect to actions taken by Lender or its agents on Borrower’s or Operating Lessee’s behalf.
		
Prior Agreements
		
			.  This Agreement, the other Loan Documents and the Project 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, understandings and negotiations among or between such parties, whether oral or written, are superseded by the terms of this Agreement, the other Loan Documents and the Project Loan Documents.
		
Offsets, Counterclaims and Defenses
		
			.  Borrower and Operating Lessee hereby waives the right to assert a counterclaim, other than a compulsory counterclaim, in any action or proceeding brought against either or both of them by Lender or its agents, including Servicer, or otherwise offset any obligations to make payments required under the Loan Documents.  Any assignee of Lender’s interest in and to the Loan Documents shall take the same free and clear of all offsets, counterclaims or defenses which Borrower or Operating Lessee may otherwise have against any assignor of such documents, and no such offset, counterclaim or defense shall be interposed or asserted by Borrower or Operating Lessee in any action or proceeding brought by any such assignee upon such documents, and any such right to interpose or assert any such offset, counterclaim or defense in any such action or proceeding is hereby expressly waived by Borrower and Operating Lessee.
		
Publicity
		
			.  All news releases, publicity or advertising by Borrower or Operating Lessee or their Affiliates through any media intended to reach the general public, which refers to the Loan Documents, the Loan, Lender or any member of the Natixis Group, a Loan purchaser, the Servicer or the trustee in a Secondary Market Transaction, shall be subject to the prior written approval of Lender.  All news releases, publicity or advertising by Lender or its Affiliates through any media intended to reach the general public which refers to the Loan Documents or the financing evidenced by the Loan Documents, to Borrower or any of its Affiliates shall be subject to the prior approval of Borrower, provided,  however, Lender is not required to obtain the prior approval of Borrower for a so-called “tombstone” which contains the amount of the loan, the type of property, the location of the Property, a photograph of the Property and the name of Borrower and Operating Lessee so long as the same does not name Guarantor or any of its Affiliates.  In addition, notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, Borrower and Operating Lessee hereby approve the write-up of the transaction set forth on Schedule 10 attached hereto and acknowledge and agree that Lender may release the same to the media and the general public.
		

		 


		

			107

		




 


		

			 

		



No Usury
		
			.  Borrower and Lender intend at all times to comply with applicable state law or applicable United States federal law (to the extent that it permits Lender to contract for, charge, take, reserve or receive a greater amount of interest than under state law) and that this Section 10.17 shall control every other agreement in the Loan Documents.  If the applicable law (state or federal) is ever judicially interpreted so as to render usurious any amount called for under the Note or any other Loan Document, or contracted for, charged, taken, reserved or received with respect to the Debt, or if Lender’s exercise of the option to accelerate the maturity of the Loan or any prepayment by Borrower results in Borrower having paid any interest in excess of that permitted by applicable law, then it is Borrower’s and Lender’s express intent that all excess amounts theretofore collected by Lender shall be credited against the unpaid Principal and all other Debt (or, if the Debt has been or would thereby be paid in full, refunded to Borrower), and the provisions of the Loan Documents immediately be deemed reformed and the amounts thereafter collectible thereunder reduced, without the necessity of the execution of any new document, so as to comply with applicable law, but so as to permit the recovery of the fullest amount otherwise called for thereunder.  All sums paid or agreed to be paid to Lender for the use, forbearance or detention of the Loan shall, to the extent permitted by applicable law, be amortized, prorated, allocated, and spread throughout the full stated term of the Loan until payment in full so that the rate or amount of interest on account of the Debt does not exceed the maximum lawful rate from time to time in effect and applicable to the Debt for so long as the Debt is outstanding.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in any Loan Document, it is not the intention of Lender to accelerate the maturity of any interest that has not accrued at the time of such acceleration or to collect unearned interest at the time of such acceleration.
		
Conflict; Construction of Documents
		
			.  In the event of any conflict between the provisions of this Agreement and any of the other Loan Documents, the provisions of this Agreement shall control.  The parties hereto acknowledge that each is represented by separate counsel in connection with the negotiation and drafting of the Loan Documents and that the Loan Documents shall not be subject to the principle of construing their meaning against the party that drafted them.
		
No Third Party Beneficiaries
		
			.  The Loan Documents are solely for the benefit of Lender and Borrower and nothing contained in any Loan Document 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 therein.
		

		
			
		

		 


		

			108

		




 


		

			 

		




		
		
Yield Maintenance Premium
		
			.  Borrower acknowledges that (a) Lender is making the Loan in consideration of the receipt by Lender of all interest and other benefits intended to be conferred by the Loan Documents and (b) if payments of Principal are made to Lender on or prior to the Yield Maintenance Date, for any reason whatsoever, whether voluntary, as a result of Lender’s acceleration of the Loan after an Event of Default, by operation of law or otherwise, Lender will not receive all such interest and other benefits and may, in addition, incur costs.  For these reasons, and to induce Lender to make the Loan, Borrower agrees that, except as expressly provided in Sections 2.3.2,  7.4.2 and 7.4.4 or any other applicable provisions of any Loan Documents, all prepayments, if any, whether voluntary or involuntary, will be accompanied by the Yield Maintenance Premium.  Such Yield Maintenance Premium shall be required whether payment is made by Borrower, by a Person on behalf of Borrower, or by the purchaser at any foreclosure sale, and may be included in any bid by Lender at such sale.  Borrower further acknowledges that (A) it is a knowledgeable real estate developer or investor; (B) it fully understands the effect of the provisions of this Section 10.20, as well as the other provisions of the Loan Documents; (C) the making of the Loan by Lender at the Interest Rate and other terms set forth in the Loan Documents are sufficient consideration for Borrower’s obligation to pay a Yield Maintenance Premium (if required); and (D) Lender would not make the Loan on the terms set forth herein without the inclusion of such provisions.  Borrower also acknowledges that the provisions of this Agreement limiting the right of prepayment and providing for the payment of the Yield Maintenance Premium and other charges specified herein were independently negotiated and bargained for, and constitute a specific material part of the consideration given by Borrower to Lender for the making of the Loan except as expressly permitted hereunder.
		
Assignment
		
			.  The Loan, the Note, the Loan Documents or Lender’s rights, title, obligations and interests therein may be assigned by Lender and any of its successors and assigns to any Person at any time in its discretion, in whole or in part, whether by operation of law (pursuant to a merger or other successor in interest) or otherwise.  For the avoidance of doubt, so long as no Event of Default is continuing, the Loan and the Project Loan may not be assigned separately.  Upon such assignment, all references to Lender in this Agreement and in any Loan Document shall be deemed to refer to such assignee or successor in interest and such assignee or successor in interest shall thereafter stand in the place of Lender.  Notwithstanding any such assignment by Lender, the Loan and the Project Loan shall be administered and serviced by the same administrative agent and/or servicer(s).  The Lender, acting for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of the Borrower, shall maintain at one of its offices a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of each assignee and the principal amount of and interest on the Loan owing to each assignee pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the “Register”).  The entries in the Register shall be conclusive, and the Register shall be available for inspection by the Borrower and any Lender, at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.  Neither Borrower nor Operating Lessee may assign their respective rights, title, interests or obligations under this Agreement or under any of the Loan Documents.  
		
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.

			Following the occurrence of a Release of an Individual Property in accordance with the terms and provisions of this Section 10.24, if the applicable Borrower or Operating Lessee that owned such Individual Property has breached (or breaches) any representation, warranty, covenant or other provision set forth in this Agreement or any other Loan Documents, such breach shall not result in a Default or Event of Default hereunder or under the other Loan Documents, so long as Lender determines (from time to time) that the same does not have a continuing adverse effect on the Loan, Borrower’s ability to repay the Loan, the remaining Borrowers or the remaining collateral for the Loan.

			.  Each Borrower and Operating Lessee jointly and severally acknowledges, represents and warrants the following:
		
Inducement
		
			.  Each Borrower and Operating Lessee acknowledges that Lender has made the Loan to Borrower upon the security of each Borrower’s and Operating Lessee’s respective interest in each applicable Individual Property and in reliance upon the aggregate of the parcels of the Property taken together being of greater value as collateral security than the sum of the parcels of the each Individual Property taken separately.
		
Separate Foreclosures
		
			.  Each Borrower and Operating Lessee desires and intends that the Security Instrument may be enforced (by foreclosure or otherwise) separately against an Individual Property without enforcement against the other parcels of the Property.
		
Combined Liability
		
			.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Loan constitutes the joint and several obligation of each and every Borrower, and Lender may at its option enforce the entire amount of the Loan against any one or more Borrower(s).

Separate Exercise of Remedies
		
			.  Lender may exercise remedies against each Borrower and Operating Lessee and its respective Individual Property separately, whether or not Lender exercises remedies against any other Borrower, Operating Lessee or their Individual Property (or Individual Properties).  Lender may enforce a Borrower’s or Operating Lessee’s obligations without enforcing the other Borrowers’ or Operating Lessee’s obligations.  Any failure or inability of Lender to enforce a Borrower’s or Operating Lessee’s obligations shall not in any way limit Lender’s right to enforce the obligations of any other Borrower or Operating Lessee.  If Lender forecloses or exercises similar remedies against any one Individual Property, then such foreclosure or similar remedy shall be deemed to reduce the balance of the Loan only to the extent of the cash proceeds actually realized by Lender from such foreclosure or similar remedy or, if applicable, Lender’s credit bid at such sale, regardless of the effect of such foreclosure or similar remedy on the Note under the applicable state law.  If Lender accepts a deed in lieu of foreclosure of an Individual Property from a Borrower or Operating Lessee, then such acceptance shall not be deemed to diminish any other Borrower’s liability for the full amount of the Loan and such Borrower’s or Operating Lessee’s other liabilities under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, except to the extent that Lender agrees otherwise in writing.
		
Breach Under Agreement
		
			.  It is the intent of the parties hereto in determining whether (a) a breach of any representation, warranty or covenant in this Agreement has occurred, or (b) an event has occurred which would create recourse obligations under this Agreement, that any such breach, occurrence or event with respect to any individual Borrower or Operating Lessee shall be deemed to be such a breach, occurrence or event with respect to Borrower or Operating Lessee, as applicable, under this Agreement and that each individual Borrower and Operating Lessee need not have been involved with such breach, occurrence or event in order for the same to be deemed such a breach, occurrence or event with respect to Borrower or Operating Lessee, as applicable, under this Agreement.

Waivers
		
			.
		
General
		
			.  Without notice to, or consent by, any Borrower or Operating Lessee, and in Lender’s sole and absolute discretion and without prejudice to Lender or in any way limiting or reducing each or any Borrower’s or Operating Lessee’s liability for all of its obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, Lender may: (a) grant extensions of time, renewals or other indulgences or modifications to any such other Borrower(s) or Operating Lessee(s) or any other party under any of the Loan Document(s), (b) agree with any such other Borrower to change the rate of interest under the Loan, (c) agree with any such other Borrower or Operating Lessee to change, amend or modify any Loan Document(s), (d) following an Event of Default, sell, exchange, release or exercise remedies with respect to any collateral for the Loan, (e) accept or reject additional collateral for the Loan or any portion thereof, (f) discharge or release any party or parties liable under the Loan Documents, (g) foreclose or otherwise realize on any collateral for the Loan, or attempt to foreclose or otherwise realize on any collateral for the Loan, whether such attempt is successful or unsuccessful, and whether such attempt relates to some or all or only some portion of the collateral for the Loan, (h) accept or make compositions or other arrangements or file or refrain from filing a claim in any bankruptcy, insolvency or similar proceeding, and (i) except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, credit payments in such manner and order of priority to principal, interest or other obligations as Lender may determine in its discretion.  Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, any Borrower’s liability for the Loan shall continue even if Lender and any other Borrower or Operating Lessee alter any obligations under the Loan Documents in any respect or Lender’s or any such Borrower’s or Operating Lessee’s remedies or rights against Borrower or Operating Lessee or any Borrower or Operating Lessee are in any way impaired or suspended without any Borrower’s or Operating Lessee’s consent.  If Lender performs any of the actions described in this Section, then every Borrower’s and Operating Lessee’s liability shall continue in full force and effect even if Lender’s actions impair, diminish or eliminate any Borrower’s or Operating Lessee’s subrogation, contribution or reimbursement rights (if any) against Borrower or Operating Lessee or any other Borrower or Operating Lessee.

Waivers of Rights and Defenses
		
			.  Each Borrower and Operating Lessee waives any right to require Lender to (a) proceed against any particular Borrower(s) or Operating Lessee(s) or any particular Individual Property or in any particular order of realization, (b) proceed against or exhaust any Individual Property, or (c) pursue any other right or remedy.  Each Borrower and Operating Lessee agrees that Lender may proceed against each or any Borrower or Operating Lessee with respect to the obligations of such Borrower or Operating Lessee under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents without taking any actions against any other Borrower(s) or Operating Lessee(s) and without proceeding against or exhausting any Individual Property.  Each Borrower and Operating Lessee agrees that Lender may unqualifiedly exercise in its sole discretion any or all rights and remedies available to it against any other Borrower(s) or Operating Lessee(s) without impairing Lender’s rights and remedies in enforcing the obligations of any such Borrower or Operating Lessee under this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, under which each Borrower’s and Operating Lessee’s liabilities shall remain independent and unconditional.  Each Borrower and Operating Lessee agrees and acknowledges that Lender’s exercise of any such rights or remedies may affect or eliminate any Borrower’s or Operating Lessee’s right of subrogation or recovery (if any) against any other Borrower or Operating Lessee and that a Borrower or Operating Lessee may incur a partially or totally non-reimbursable liability in performing its obligations under the Loan Documents.  Without limiting the generality of any other waivers in this Agreement, each Borrower and Operating Lessee expressly waives any statutory or other right that each or any of them might otherwise have to require Lender to exhaust the collateral for the Loan (or collateral held with respect to any other Borrower or Operating Lessee) before Lender may proceed against the collateral for the Loan owned by any such Borrower or Operating Lessee.
		
Additional Waivers
		
			.  Each Borrower and Operating Lessee waives diligence and all demands, protests, presentments and notices of every kind or nature except notices of default, notices to cure and notices that, in any of the foregoing cases, are either required by law or by the Loan Documents, including notices of protest, dishonor, nonpayment, acceptance of the obligations of such Borrower and Operating Lessee under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and the creation, renewal, extension, modification or accrual of any such obligations.  No failure or delay on Lender’s part in exercising any power, right or privilege under the Loan Documents shall impair or waive any such power, right or privilege.
		
Deferral of Reimbursement
		
			.  Each Borrower and Operating Lessee waives any right to be reimbursed by any other Borrower or Operating Lessee for any payment(s) made by such Borrower or Operating Lessee or from such other Borrower’s or Operating Lessee’s property on account of the obligations of any such Borrower or Operating Lessee under this Agreement or any other Loan Document. Each Borrower and Operating Lessee acknowledges that each such Borrower and Operating Lessee has received adequate consideration for execution of the Loan Documents to which such Borrower and Operating Lessee is a party by virtue of Lender’s making the Loan (which benefit each and every Borrower and Operating Lessee).  Except as otherwise provided in Section 11.5 hereof, no Borrower or Operating Lessee requires or expects, and no Borrower or Operating Lessee is entitled to, any other right of reimbursement against any other Borrower or Operating Lessee as consideration for entering into the Loan Documents to which such Borrower or Operating Lessee is a party.
		
Deferral of Subrogation
		
			.
		

		 


		

			118

		




 


		

			 

		



Deferral
		
			.  Each Borrower shall have no right of subrogation against each other Borrower or Lender and no right of subrogation against any collateral for the Loan.
		
Effect of Invalidation
		
			.  To the extent that a court of competent jurisdiction determines that the provisions of Section 11.4.1 are void or voidable for any reason, such Borrower’s rights of subrogation against each such other Borrower or Lender and such Borrower’s right of subrogation against any collateral for the Loan shall at all times be junior and subordinate to Lender’s rights against all other Borrowers and Lender’s right, title and interest in such collateral for the Loan.
		
Contribution Among Borrowers
		
			.  Notwithstanding that the Borrowers are jointly and severally liable to Lender for payment of the Loan, as among the Borrowers, each shall be liable only for such Borrower’s Ratable Share (as hereinafter defined) and, accordingly, each Borrower whose percentage ownership interest in the Property or other assets are, from time to time, utilized to satisfy a portion of the Debt in excess of such Borrower’s Ratable Share, shall be entitled, commencing 95 days after payment in full of the Debt, to contribution from each of the other Borrowers pro rata in accordance with their respective liabilities in accordance with this Agreement.  As used herein, “Ratable Share” means with respect to any Borrower, the ratio of (i) the fair market value of such Borrower’s estate in the Property to (ii) the fair market value of the Property in the aggregate.
		
No Merger
		
			.  It being the desire and intention of the parties hereto that the Security Instrument and the lien thereof do not merge in fee simple title to the Property, it is hereby understood and agreed that should Lender acquire any additional or other interest in or to the Property or the ownership thereof, then, unless a contrary intent is manifested by Lender as evidenced by an express statement to that effect in an appropriate document duly recorded, the Security Instrument and the lien hereof shall not merge in the fee simple title, toward the end that the Security Instrument may be foreclosed as if owned by a stranger to the fee simple title.  In addition, it being the desire and intention of the parties hereto that the Security Instrument and the liens thereof do not merge with any other mortgage in favor of Lender encumbering all or any portion of the Property and the lien thereof, it is hereby further understood and agreed that should Lender acquire any additional or other lien with respect to the Property, then, unless a contrary intent is manifested by Lender as evidenced by an express statement to that effect in an appropriate document duly recorded, the Security Instrument and the lien thereof shall not merge with any such other mortgage and the lien thereof, toward the end that the Security Instrument may be foreclosed as if owned by a stranger to any such other mortgage and the lien thereof.
