If the Note is mutilated or defaced and is surrendered to the Borrower, or if there shall be delivered to the Borrower evidence to its reasonable satisfaction of the destruction, loss or theft of the Note, then the Borrower shall execute and deliver, in lieu of the mutilated, defaced, destroyed lost or stolen Note, a new Note, of like tenor (including the same date of issuance) and equal principal or face amount and bearing interest from the date to which interest has been paid on the mutilated, defaced, destroyed, lost or stolen Note provided that the applicant for a replacement Note shall indemnify Borrower for any liability, obligation, loss or damages the Borrower may incur in connection with any enforcement, collection or attempted enforcement or collection of the destroyed, lost or stolen Note. In the event that, as of the date a replacement Note is requested, the principal amount of any such mutilated, defaced, destroyed, stolen or lost Note shall have become, or will within the next succeeding fifteen (15) days become, due and payable in accordance with its terms, the Borrower may, at its discretion, not authenticate and deliver such a replacement Note.

Section 2.2    Interest Rate.
2.2.1    Interest Rate. (a)  Each Component of the Loan shall accrue interest throughout the Term at the Interest Rate applicable to such Component during each Interest Period.  The total interest accrued under the Loan shall be the sum of the interest accrued on the Component Outstanding Principal Balance of each of the Components.  Borrower shall pay to Lender on each Monthly Payment Date the interest accrued or to be accrued on the Loan for the related Interest Period.
(b)    Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, the Components of the Loan shall be a LIBOR Loan. In the event that Lender shall have reasonably determined that by reason of circumstances affecting the interbank Eurodollar market LIBOR cannot be determined as provided in the definition of LIBOR as set forth herein, then Lender shall forthwith give notice thereof by telephone of such fact, confirmed in writing, to Borrower at least one (1) Business Day prior to the next succeeding Interest Determination Date.  If such notice is given, the Components of the Loan shall be converted, from and after the first day of the next succeeding Interest Period, to an Alternative Base Rate Loan bearing interest based on the Alternative Base Rate in effect on the related Determination Date if an Alternative Base Rate then exists, as reasonably determined by Lender, or otherwise to a Prime Rate Loan bearing interest based on the Prime Rate in effect on the related Determination Date.
(c)    If, pursuant to the terms hereof, the Components of the Loan have been converted to a Prime Rate Loan and Lender shall have reasonably determined that the event(s) or circumstance(s) which resulted in such conversion shall no longer be applicable, Lender shall give notice by telephone of such determination, confirmed in writing, to Borrower at least one (1) Business Day prior to the next succeeding Interest Determination Date. If such notice is given, the Components of the Loan shall be converted, as of the first day of the next succeeding Interest Period, to a LIBOR Loan. Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, in no event shall Borrower have the right to convert a Prime Rate Loan to a LIBOR Loan.
(d)    If, pursuant to the terms hereof, the Components of the Loan have been converted to a Prime Rate Loan and thereafter Lender shall have reasonably determined that an Alternative Base Rate then exists, Lender shall give notice by telephone of such determination, confirmed in writing, to Borrower at least one (1) Business Day prior to the next succeeding Interest Determination Date. If such notice is given, the Components of the Loan shall be converted, as of the first day of the next succeeding Interest Period, to an Alternative Base Rate Loan bearing interest based on the Alternative Base Rate in effect on the related Determination Date. Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, in no event shall Borrower have the right to convert a Prime Rate Loan to an Alternative Base Rate Loan.


49







(e)    If the adoption of any requirement of law or any change therein or in the interpretation or application thereof, shall hereafter make it unlawful for Lender to maintain a LIBOR Loan as contemplated hereunder, (i) the obligation of Lender hereunder to make or maintain a LIBOR Loan or to convert a Prime Rate Loan to a LIBOR Loan shall be canceled forthwith and (ii) any outstanding LIBOR Loan shall be converted automatically to an Alternative Base Rate Loan if an Alternative Base Rate then exists, as reasonably determined by Servicer, or otherwise to a Prime Rate Loan on the first day of the next succeeding Interest Period, or upon such earlier date as may be required by law. Borrower hereby agrees to promptly pay to Lender, upon demand, any additional amounts necessary to compensate Lender for any out-of-pocket costs reasonably incurred by Lender in making any conversion in accordance with this Agreement, including without limitation, any interest or fees payable by Lender to lenders of funds obtained by it in order to make or maintain the LIBOR Loan hereunder. Lender’s notice of such costs, as certified to Borrower, shall be conclusive absent manifest error.
2.2.2    Default Rate.  In the event that, and for so long as, any Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Component Outstanding Principal Balance of each of the Components and, to the extent not prohibited by applicable law, all other portions of the Debt, shall accrue interest at the Default Rate, calculated from the date such payment was due or, if later, such Default shall have occurred, without regard to any grace or cure periods contained herein.  Interest at the Default Rate shall be paid immediately upon demand, which demand may be made as frequently as Lender shall elect, to the extent not prohibited by applicable law.
2.2.3    Interest Calculation.  Interest on the Loan and other Obligations shall be calculated by multiplying (A) the actual number of days elapsed in the period for which the calculation is being made by (B) a daily rate based on a three hundred sixty (360) day year (that is, the Interest Rate expressed as an annual rate divided by 360) by (C) the Outstanding Principal Balance or the amount of such other Obligations, as applicable.  The accrual period for calculating interest due on each Monthly Payment Date shall be the Interest Period in which such Monthly Payment Date occurs.
2.2.4    Usury Savings.  This Agreement and the other Loan Documents are subject to the express condition that at no time shall Borrower be required to pay interest on the Outstanding Principal Balance at a rate which could subject Lender to either civil or criminal liability as a result of being in excess of the Maximum Legal Rate.  If by the terms of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, Borrower is at any time required or obligated to pay interest on the Outstanding Principal Balance at a rate in excess of the Maximum Legal Rate, the Interest Rate shall be deemed to be immediately reduced to the Maximum Legal Rate and all previous payments in excess of the Maximum Legal Rate shall be deemed to have been payments in reduction of principal and not on account of the interest due hereunder.  All sums paid or agreed to be paid to Lender for the use, forbearance, or detention of the sums due under the Loan, shall, to the extent permitted by applicable law, be amortized, prorated, allocated and spread throughout the full stated term of the Loan until payment in full so that the rate or amount of interest on account of the Loan does not exceed the Maximum 


50







Legal Rate from time to time in effect and applicable to the Loan for so long as the Loan is outstanding.
2.2.5    Breakage Indemnity.  Borrower shall indemnify Lender against any loss or expense which Lender may actually sustain or incur in liquidating or redeploying deposits from third parties acquired to effect or maintain the Loan or any part thereof as a consequence of (i) any payment or prepayment of the Loan or any portion thereof made on a date other than a Monthly Payment Date (unless interest is paid by the Borrower on such payment through the end of the applicable Interest Period) and (ii) any default in payment or prepayment of the Principal or any part thereof or interest accrued thereon, as and when due and payable (at the date thereof or otherwise, and whether by acceleration or otherwise) (collectively, “Breakage Costs”), provided, Borrower shall not indemnify Lender from any loss or expense arising from Lender’s willful misconduct or gross negligence. Lender shall deliver to Borrower a statement for any such sums which it is entitled to receive pursuant to this Section 2.2.5, which statement shall be binding and conclusive absent manifest error. Borrower’s obligations under this Section 2.2.5 are in addition to Borrower’s obligations to pay any Spread Maintenance Premium applicable to a payment or prepayment of the Loan.
Section 2.3    Loan Payments.
2.3.1    Payments.  Borrower shall pay to Lender (a) on the Closing Date, an amount equal to the sum of (i) interest only on the Outstanding Principal Balance of the Components from the Closing Date up to and including July 14, 2018 (the “Initial Interest Period”), which interest shall be calculated in accordance with the provisions of Section 2.2, (ii) all amounts required in respect of Reserve Funds as set forth in Article 6 and (iii) the regular monthly certificate administrator fee (deemed to be $6,675 per month) and the regular monthly trustee fee (deemed to be $250 per month) under the Servicing Agreement for the month of July 2018 and (b) on the Monthly Payment Date occurring in August 2018 and each Monthly Payment Date thereafter during the Term, an amount equal to the sum of (i) the Monthly Debt Service Payment Amount, which payment shall be applied in accordance with Article 6, (ii) all amounts required in respect of Reserve Funds as set forth in Article 6 and (iii) the regular monthly certificate administrator fee (deemed to be $6,675 per month) and the regular monthly trustee fee (deemed to be $250 per month) under the Servicing Agreement.

After the Initial Interest Period, each interest accrual period thereafter (each, an “Interest Period”) shall commence on the fifteenth (15th) calendar day of a calendar month and ending on (and including) the fourteenth (14th) calendar day of the following calendar month.  For purposes of making payments hereunder, but not for purposes of calculating Interest Periods, if the Monthly Payment Date or a Maturity Date (including the Stated Maturity Date, the First Extended Maturity Date, the Second Extended Maturity Date, the Third Extended Maturity Date, the Fourth Extended Maturity Date and the Fifth Extended Maturity Date) is not a Business Day, then amounts due on such date shall be due on the immediately preceding Business Day.  Lender shall 


51







have the right from time to time, in its sole discretion, upon not less than ten (10) days prior written notice to Borrower, to change the Monthly Payment Date to a different calendar day and, if requested by Lender, Borrower shall promptly execute an amendment to this Agreement to evidence such change; provided, however, that if Lender shall have elected to change the Monthly Payment Date as aforesaid, Lender shall adjust the Interest Period and, with respect to the Components, the Interest Determination Date accordingly, so that (a) after giving effect to any such change or adjustment, the period of time between the Monthly Payment Date and the end of the Interest Period shall not be greater than five (5) days and (b) the date of each Maturity Date (including the Stated Maturity Date, the First Extended Maturity Date, the Second Extended Maturity Date, the Third Extended Maturity Date, the Fourth Extended Maturity Date and the Fifth Extended Maturity Date) and any other date in the Loan Documents which corresponds with a Monthly Payment Date shall be automatically amended to reflect the Monthly Payment Date as so adjusted.  With respect to payments of principal due on any Component on a Maturity Date, interest shall be payable at the Interest Rate, through and including the day immediately preceding such Maturity Date.
2.3.3    Payment on Maturity Date.  Borrower shall pay to Lender on the Maturity Date the Outstanding Principal Balance, all accrued and unpaid interest and all other amounts due hereunder and under the Note, the Mortgage Documents and the other Loan Documents.
2.3.4    Late Payment Charge.  If any principal, interest or any other sum due under the Loan Documents (other than the Outstanding Principal Balance due and payable on the Maturity Date) is not paid by Borrower on the date on which it is due, Borrower shall pay to Lender upon demand an amount equal to the lesser of four percent (4%) of such unpaid sum or the maximum amount permitted by applicable law in order to defray the expense incurred by Lender in handling and processing such delinquent payment and to compensate Lender for the loss of the use of such delinquent payment.

(b)    Whenever any payment to be made hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall be stated to be due on a day which is not a Business Day, the due date thereof shall be the immediately preceding Business Day.


52

(b)    If the Interest Shortfall for any Component was calculated based upon the Assumed Note Rate, upon determination of LIBOR on the Interest Determination Date for the Succeeding Interest Period then (i) if the Interest Rate applicable to such Component for such Succeeding Interest Period is less than the Assumed Note Rate applicable to such Component, Lender shall promptly refund to Borrower the amount of the Interest Shortfall paid with respect to such Component, calculated at a rate equal to the difference between the Assumed Note Rate applicable to such Component and the Interest Rate applicable to such Component for such Interest Period, or (ii) if the Interest Rate applicable to such Component is greater than the Assumed Note Rate applicable to such Component, Borrower shall promptly (and in no event later than the ninth (9th) day of the following month) pay Lender the amount of such additional Interest Shortfall applicable to such Component calculated at a rate equal to the amount by which the Interest Rate applicable to such Component exceeds the Assumed Note Rate applicable to such Component.
(c)    Borrower shall pay all reasonable costs and expenses of Lender incurred in connection with the repayment or prepayment (including without limitation reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses and costs and expenses related to the Transfer or Substitution of any Property); provided, for the avoidance of doubt, this provision shall not apply with respect to Taxes.
(d)    Except during an Event of Default, prepayments shall be applied by Lender in the following order of priority: (i) first, to any amounts (other than principal, interest, Interest Shortfall, Breakage Costs and Spread Maintenance Premium) then due and payable under the Loan Documents, including any costs and expenses of Lender in connection with such prepayment; (ii) second, interest payable pursuant to Section 2.4.5(a)(i) on the applicable Component or Components being prepaid pursuant to this clause (d) at the Interest Rate; (iii) third, Interest Shortfall on the applicable Component or Components being prepaid pursuant to this clause (d); (iv) fourth, Breakage Costs on the applicable Component or Components being prepaid pursuant to this clause (d); (v) fifth, Spread Maintenance Premium, to the extent applicable, on the applicable Component or Components being prepaid pursuant to this clause (d) and (vi) sixth, to principal, applied as set forth in clause (e) below.

59







B is reduced to zero, (iii) third, to Component C until the Component Outstanding Principal Balance of Component C is reduced to zero, (iv) fourth, to Component D until the Component Outstanding Principal Balance of Component D is reduced to zero, (v) fifth, to Component E until the Component Outstanding Principal Balance of Component E is reduced to zero and (vi) sixth, to Component F until the Component Outstanding Principal Balance of Component F is reduced to zero; provided, that so long as no Default or Event of Default shall then exist or would result therefrom, any voluntary prepayments of principal of the Loan made from Unrestricted Cash pursuant to Section 2.4.2, other than Debt Yield Cure Prepayments, shall be applied to the Loan (i) first, to Component F until the Component Outstanding Principal Balance of Component F is reduced to zero, (ii) second, to Component E until the Component Outstanding Principal Balance of Component E is reduced to zero, (iii) third, to Component D until the Component Outstanding Principal Balance of Component D is reduced to zero and (iv) fourth, on a pro rata basis, to Component A, Component B and Component C, until the aggregate Component Outstanding Principal Balance of such Components is reduced to zero.
(f)    Prepayments under Section 2.4.2 shall reduce the Allocated Loan Amounts for each Property on a pro rata basis.  Prepayments under Section 2.4.3 shall reduce the Allocated Loan Amount with respect to the applicable Property, until the Allocated Loan Amount and any interest, fees or other Obligations related thereto is zero and any excess of such prepayment shall be applied to reduce the Allocated Loan Amounts for the remaining Properties on a pro rata basis.
(g)    Lender shall, upon the written request and at the expense of Borrower, upon payment in full of the Debt in accordance with the terms and provisions of the Loan Documents, release the Liens of the Mortgage Documents and the Collateral Documents and cause the trustees under any of the Mortgages to reconvey the applicable Properties to Borrower and cause Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as Certificate Administrator (under and as defined in the Servicing Agreement) or any other Certificate Administrator under the Servicing Agreement, to deliver to Borrower (or to such other Person as Borrower may direct in writing) any certificates delivered to it representing an ownership interest in any direct or indirect owner of Borrower under the Collateral Documents.  In connection with the releases of the Liens, Borrower shall submit to Lender, forms of releases of Liens (and related Loan Documents) for execution by Lender.  Such releases shall be the forms appropriate in the jurisdictions in which the Properties are located and contain standard provisions protecting the rights of Lender.  In addition, Borrower shall provide all other documentation Lender reasonably requires to be delivered by Borrower in connection with such releases, together with an Officer’s Certificate certifying that such documentation (i) is in compliance with all Legal Requirements, and (ii) will effect such release in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.  Borrower shall pay all out-of-pocket costs, taxes and expenses associated with the release of the Liens of the Mortgage Documents, including Lender’s reasonable attorneys’ fees. 
Section 2.5    Transfers of Properties.  Borrower may Transfer any Property (each, a “Release Property”) and Lender shall release the Release Property from the applicable Mortgage 


60







Documents and release the security interest and Lien on any Collateral located at such Property, provided that the following conditions precedent to such Transfer are satisfied (the “Release Conditions”); provided, that, for the avoidance of doubt, the Release Conditions do not need to be satisfied in order for Lender to release its security interest and Lien on any Disqualified Property in connection with any prepayment or Substitution in accordance with Section 2.4.3(a) or Section 2.11:
(a)    Borrower shall submit to Lender, not less than ten (10) Business Days’ prior to the Transfer Date, a Request for Release, together with all attachments thereto and evidence reasonably satisfactory to Lender that the conditions precedent set forth in this Section 2.5 will be satisfied upon the consummation of such Transfer (for the avoidance of doubt, no Request for Release need be provided in connection with a contribution of a Release Property to a Borrower TRS);
(b)    No Event of Default has occurred and is continuing (other than a non-monetary Event of Default that is specific to such Release Property to which Section 2.4.3(a) is applicable and would be cured as a result of the release of the Release Property, so long as a mandatory prepayment is made with respect thereto in accordance with Section 2.4.3(a) (a “Qualified Release Property Default”));
(c)    The Debt Yield as of the most recent Calculation Date, after giving pro forma effect to the elimination of the Underwritten Net Cash Flow for the Release Property and the repayment of the Loan in the applicable Release Amount, is at least the greater of (x) the Closing Date Debt Yield and (y) the actual Debt Yield as of such date; provided that the condition in this clause (c) shall not be applicable to a Transfer of a Property if the Loan is prepaid in the amount that is the greater of the applicable Release Amount and one hundred percent (100%) of the Net Transfer Proceeds for the Transferred Property; 
(d)    The Release Property shall be Transferred to a Person other than Borrower, any other Loan Party or, unless the release of the Release Property is effected in order to cure a Qualified Release Property Default or is a release of a Designated HOA Property, any Affiliate of Borrower or any other Loan Party; provided that Borrower may contribute the Release Property to a Borrower TRS;
(e)    Except for (i) the release of the Release Property that is effected in order to cure a Qualified Release Property Default, (ii) any contribution to a Borrower TRS described in the proviso of the foregoing clause (d) or (iii) a release of a Designated HOA Property, the Release Property shall be Transferred pursuant to a bona fide all-cash sale of the Release Property on arms-length terms and conditions;
(f)    Except for any contribution to a Borrower TRS described in the proviso of the foregoing clause (d), on or prior to the Transfer Date, Borrower shall prepay the Outstanding Principal Balance by an amount equal to the applicable Release Amount for the Release Property, and Borrower shall comply with the provisions and pay to Lender the amounts set forth in Section 2.4.5;


61







(g)    Except for any contribution to a Borrower TRS described in the proviso of the foregoing clause (d), if a Trigger Period is continuing on the Transfer Date, the excess, if any, of (i) the Net Transfer Proceeds for the Release Property over (ii) the applicable Release Amount for the Release Property and any other amounts payable to Lender in connection with such release, shall be deposited into the Cash Collateral Account;
(h)    Borrower shall submit to Lender, not less than five (5) Business Days prior to the Transfer Date, a draft release for the applicable Mortgage Documents (and, in the event the Mortgage and the Assignment of Leases and Rents applicable to the Release Property encumber other Property(ies) in addition to the Release Property, such release shall be a partial release that relates only to the Release Property and does not affect the Liens and security interests encumbering or on the other Property(ies)) in form and substance appropriate for the jurisdiction in which the Release Property is located and shall contain standard provisions protecting the rights of Lender.  In addition, Borrower shall provide all other documentation of a ministerial or administrative nature that Lender reasonably requires to be delivered by Borrower in connection with such release or assignment;
(i)    Borrower shall have paid all taxes and all reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred by Lender and/or its Servicer in connection with any such release and, in addition, the current reasonable and customary fee being assessed by Lender and/or its Servicer to effect such release or assignment; 
(j)    Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein or in any other Loan Document, if the Loan is included in a REMIC Trust and the ratio of the unpaid principal balance of the Loan to the value of the remaining Properties (as determined by Lender in its sole discretion using any commercially reasonable method permitted to a REMIC Trust; and which shall exclude the value of any personal property (other than fixtures) or going concern value, if any) exceeds or would exceed one hundred twenty-five percent (125%) immediately after giving effect to the release of the Release Property, no release will be permitted unless the principal balance of the Loan is prepaid by an amount not less than the greater of (i) the Release Amount or (ii) the least amount that is a “qualified amount” as that term is defined in IRS Revenue Procedure 2010-30, as the same may be amended, replaced, supplemented or modified from time to time, unless Lender receives an opinion of counsel that, if this Section 2.5(i) is applicable but not followed or is no longer applicable at the time of such release, the Securitization will not fail to maintain its status as a REMIC Trust as a result of the release of the Release Property; and
(k)    The Release Property is a separate legal parcel from the property remaining encumbered by Mortgages.
Section 2.6    Interest Rate Cap Agreement. 
2.6.1    Interest Rate Cap Agreement.  Prior to or contemporaneously with the Closing Date, Borrower shall have obtained, and thereafter maintain in effect, the Interest Rate Cap Agreement, which shall have a term expiring no earlier than the last day of the Interest Period in which the Stated Maturity Date occurs and have a notional amount which 


62







shall not at any time be less than the Outstanding Principal Balance.  The Interest Rate Cap Agreement shall have a strike rate equal to the Strike Price.
2.6.2    Pledge and Collateral Assignment.  As security for the full and punctual payment and performance of the Obligations when due (whether upon stated maturity, by acceleration, early termination or otherwise), Borrower, as pledgor, hereby pledges, assigns, hypothecates, transfers and delivers to Lender as collateral and hereby grants to Lender a continuing first priority lien on and security interest in, to and under all of the following whether now owned or hereafter acquired and whether now existing or hereafter arising (the “Rate Cap Collateral”): all of the right, title and interest of Borrower in and to (i) the Interest Rate Cap Agreement; (ii) all payments, distributions, disbursements or proceeds due, owing, payable or required to be delivered to Borrower in respect of the Interest Rate Cap Agreement or arising out of the Interest Rate Cap Agreement, whether as contractual obligations, damages or otherwise; and (iii) all of Borrower’s claims, rights, powers, privileges, authority, options, security interests, liens and remedies, if any, under or arising out of the Interest Rate Cap Agreement, in each case including all accessions and additions to, substitutions for and replacements, products and proceeds of any or all of the foregoing.
2.6.3    Covenants.
(a)    Borrower shall comply with all of its obligations under the terms and provisions of the Interest Rate Cap Agreement.  All amounts paid by the Counterparty under the Interest Rate Cap Agreement to Borrower or Lender shall be deposited immediately into the Collection Account pursuant to Section 6.1.1.  Subject to terms hereof, provided no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, Borrower shall be entitled to exercise all rights, powers and privileges of Borrower under, and to control the prosecution of all claims with respect to, the Interest Rate Cap Agreement and the other Rate Cap Collateral.  Borrower shall take all actions reasonably requested by Lender to enforce Borrower’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 rights thereunder.
(b)    Borrower shall defend Lender’s right, title and interest in and to the Rate Cap Collateral pledged by Borrower pursuant hereto or in which it has granted a security interest pursuant hereto against the claims and demands of all other Persons.

(d)    For the sake of clarity, in the event that the Loan has converted to either a Prime Rate Loan or Alternative Base Rate Loan, Borrower shall replace the Interest Rate Cap Agreement with a Replacement Interest Rate Cap Agreement within thirty (30) days after the commencement of the Interest Period in which the conversion becomes effective.


63







(e)    In the event that Borrower fails to purchase and deliver to Lender the Interest Rate Cap Agreement as and when required hereunder, Lender may purchase the Interest Rate Cap Agreement and the cost incurred by Lender in purchasing the Interest Rate Cap Agreement shall be paid by Borrower to Lender with interest thereon at the Default Rate from the date such cost was incurred by Lender until such cost is paid by Borrower to Lender.
(f)    Borrower shall not sell, assign, or otherwise dispose of, or mortgage, pledge or grant a security interest in, any of the Rate Cap Collateral or any interest therein, and any sale, assignment, mortgage, pledge or security interest whatsoever made in violation of this covenant shall be a nullity and of no force and effect, and upon demand of Lender, shall forthwith be cancelled or satisfied by an appropriate instrument in writing.
(g)    Borrower shall not (i) without the prior written consent of Lender, modify, amend or supplement the terms of the Interest Rate Cap Agreement, (ii) without the prior written consent of Lender, except in accordance with the terms of the Interest Rate Cap Agreement, cause the termination of the Interest Rate Cap Agreement prior to its stated maturity date, (iii)  without the prior written consent of Lender, except as aforesaid, waive or release any obligation of the Counterparty (or any successor or substitute party to the Interest Rate Cap Agreement) under the Interest Rate Cap Agreement, (iv) without the prior written consent of Lender, consent or agree to any act or omission to act on the part of the Counterparty (or any successor or substitute party to the Interest Rate Cap Agreement) which, without such consent or agreement, would constitute a default under the Interest Rate Cap Agreement, (v) fail to exercise promptly and diligently each and every material right which it may have under the Interest Rate Cap Agreement, (vi) take or intentionally omit to take any action or intentionally suffer or permit any action to be omitted or taken, the taking or omission of which would result in any right of offset against sums payable under the Interest Rate Cap Agreement or any defense by the Counterparty (or any successor or substitute party to the Interest Rate Cap Agreement) to payment or (vii) fail to give prompt notice to Lender of any notice of default given by or to Borrower under or with respect to the Interest Rate Cap Agreement, together with a complete copy of such notice.  If Borrower shall have received written notice that the Securitization shall have occurred, no consent by Lender provided for in this Section 2.6.3(g) shall be given by Lender unless Lender shall have received a Rating Agency Confirmation.
(h)    In connection with an Interest Rate Cap Agreement, Borrower shall obtain and deliver to Lender an opinion of counsel from counsel (which counsel may be in-house counsel for the Counterparty) for the Counterparty upon which Lender and its successors and assigns may rely (the “Counterparty Opinion”), under New York law and, if the Counterparty is a non-U.S. entity, the applicable foreign law, which shall provide in relevant part, that: (i) the issuer is duly organized, validly existing, and in good standing under the laws of its jurisdiction of incorporation and has the organizational power and authority to execute and deliver, and to perform its obligations under, the Interest Rate Cap Agreement; (ii) the execution and delivery of the Interest Rate Cap Agreement by the issuer, and any other agreement which the issuer has executed and delivered pursuant thereto, and the performance of its obligations thereunder have been and remain duly authorized by all

2.6.4    [Reserved].
2.6.5    Representations and Warranties.  Borrower hereby covenants with, and represents and warrants to Lender as of the Closing Date as follows:
(a)    The Interest Rate Cap Agreement constitutes the legal, valid and binding obligation of Borrower, enforceable against Borrower in accordance with its terms, subject only to applicable bankruptcy, insolvency and similar laws affecting rights of creditors generally, and subject, as to enforceability, to general principles of equity (regardless of whether enforcement is sought in a proceeding in equity or at law).
(b)    The Rate Cap Collateral is free and clear of all claims or security interests of every nature whatsoever, except such as are created pursuant to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and Borrower has the right to pledge and grant a security interest in the same as herein provided without the consent of any other Person other than any such consent that has been obtained and is in full force and effect.
(c)    The Rate Cap Collateral has been duly and validly pledged hereunder.  All consents and approvals required to be obtained by Borrower for the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement have been obtained.
(d)    Giving effect to the aforesaid grant and assignment to Lender, Lender has, as of the date of this Agreement, and as to Rate Cap Collateral acquired from time to time after such date, shall have, a valid, and upon proper filing, perfected and continuing first priority lien upon and security interest in the Rate Cap Collateral; provided that no representation or warranty is made with respect to the perfected status of the security interest of Lender in the proceeds of Rate Cap Collateral consisting of “cash proceeds” or “non-cash proceeds” as defined in the UCC except if, and to the extent, the provisions of Section 9-306 of the UCC shall be complied with.


65







(e)    Except for financing statements filed or to be filed in favor of Lender as secured party, there are no financing statements under the UCC covering any or all of the Rate Cap Collateral and Borrower shall not, without the prior written consent of Lender, until payment in full of all of the Obligations, execute and file in any public office, any enforceable financing statement or statements covering any or all of the Rate Cap Collateral, except financing statements filed or to be filed in favor of Lender as secured party.
2.6.6    Payments.  If Borrower at any time shall be entitled to receive any payments with respect to the Interest Rate Cap Agreement, Borrower shall direct Counterparty to deposit such amounts, immediately upon becoming payable to Borrower into the Collection Account; provided that if, notwithstanding such direction, Borrower receives any payments with respect to the Interest Rate Cap Agreement, Borrower shall immediately deposit such amounts into the Collection Account.
2.6.7    Remedies.  Subject to the provisions of the Interest Rate Cap Agreement, if an Event of Default shall occur and then be continuing:
(a)    Lender, without obligation to resort to any other security, right or remedy granted under any other agreement or instrument, shall have the right to, in addition to all rights, powers and remedies of a secured party pursuant to the UCC, at any time and from time to time, sell, resell, assign and deliver, in its sole discretion, any or all of the Rate Cap Collateral (in one or more parcels and at the same or different times) and all right, title and interest, claim and demand therein and right of redemption thereof, at public or private sale, for cash, upon credit or for future delivery, and in connection therewith Lender may grant options and may impose reasonable conditions such as requiring any purchaser to represent that any “securities” constituting any part of the Rate Cap Collateral are being purchased for investment only, Borrower hereby waiving and releasing any and all equity or right of redemption to the fullest extent permitted by the UCC or applicable law.  If all or any of the Rate Cap Collateral is sold by Lender upon credit or for future delivery, Lender shall not be liable for the failure of the purchaser to purchase or pay for the same and, in the event of any such failure, Lender may resell such Rate Cap Collateral.  It is expressly agreed that Lender may exercise its rights with respect to less than all of the Rate Cap Collateral, leaving unexercised its rights with respect to the remainder of the Rate Cap Collateral, provided, however, that such partial exercise shall in no way restrict or jeopardize Lender’s right to exercise its rights with respect to all or any other portion of the Rate Cap Collateral at a later time or times.
(b)    Lender may exercise, either by itself or by its nominee or designee, in the name of Borrower, all of Lender’s rights, powers and remedies in respect of the Rate Cap Collateral, hereunder and under law.
(c)    Borrower hereby irrevocably, in the name of Borrower or otherwise, authorizes and empowers Lender and assigns and transfers unto Lender, and constitutes and appoints Lender its true and lawful attorney-in-fact, and as its agent, irrevocably, with full power of substitution for Borrower and in the name of Borrower, (i) to exercise and enforce every right, power, remedy, authority, option and privilege of Borrower under the Interest 


66







Rate Cap Agreement, including any power to subordinate or modify the Interest Rate Cap Agreement (but not, unless an Event of Default exists and is continuing, the right to terminate or cancel the Interest Rate Cap Agreement), or to give any notices, or to take any action resulting in such subordination, termination, cancellation or modification and (ii) in order to more fully vest in Lender the rights and remedies provided for herein, to exercise all of the rights, remedies and powers granted to Lender in this Agreement, and Borrower further authorizes and empowers Lender, as Borrower’s attorney-in-fact, and as its agent, irrevocably, with full power of substitution for Borrower and in the name of Borrower, to give any authorization, to furnish any information, to make any demands, to execute any instruments and to take any and all other action on behalf of and in the name of Borrower which in the opinion of Lender may be necessary or appropriate to be given, furnished, made, exercised or taken under the Interest Rate Cap Agreement, in order to comply therewith, to perform the conditions thereof or to prevent or remedy any default by Borrower thereunder or to enforce any of the rights of Borrower thereunder.  These powers-of-attorney are irrevocable and coupled with an interest, and any similar or dissimilar powers heretofore given by Borrower in respect of the Rate Cap Collateral to any other Person are hereby revoked.
(d)    Lender may, without notice to, or assent by, Borrower or any other Person (to the extent permitted by law), but without affecting any of the Obligations, in the name of Borrower or in the name of Lender, notify the Counterparty, or if applicable, any other counterparty to the Interest Rate Cap Agreement, to make payment and performance directly to Lender; extend the time of payment and performance of, compromise or settle for cash, credit or otherwise, and upon any terms and conditions, any obligations owing to Borrower, or claims of Borrower, under the Interest Rate Cap Agreement; file any claims, commence, maintain or discontinue any actions, suits or other proceedings deemed by Lender necessary or advisable for the purpose of collecting upon or enforcing the Interest Rate Cap Agreement; and execute any instrument and do all other things deemed necessary and proper by Lender to protect and preserve and realize upon the Rate Cap Collateral and the other rights contemplated hereby.
(e)    Pursuant to the powers-of-attorney provided for above, Lender may take any action and exercise and execute any instrument which it may deem necessary or advisable to accomplish the purposes hereof; provided, however, that Lender shall not be permitted to take any action pursuant to said power-of-attorney that would conflict with any limitation on Lender’s rights with respect to the Rate Cap Collateral.  Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Lender, after the occurrence of an Event of Default, shall have the right and power to receive, endorse and collect all checks and other orders for the payment of money made payable to Borrower representing:  (i) any payment of obligations owed pursuant to the Interest Rate Cap Agreement, (ii) interest accruing on any of the Rate Cap Collateral or (iii) any other payment or distribution payable in respect of the Rate Cap Collateral or any part thereof, and for and in the name, place and stead of Borrower, to execute endorsements, assignments or other instruments of conveyance or transfer in respect of any property which is or may become a part of the Rate Cap Collateral hereunder.


67







(f)    Lender may exercise all of the rights and remedies of a secured party under the UCC.
(g)    Without limiting any other provision of this Agreement or any of Borrower’s rights hereunder, and without waiving or releasing Borrower from any obligation or default hereunder, Lender shall have the right, but not the obligation, to perform any act or take any appropriate action, as it, in its reasonable judgment, may deem necessary to protect the security of this Agreement, to cure such Event of Default or to cause any term, covenant, condition or obligation required under this Agreement or the Interest Rate Cap Agreement to be performed or observed by Borrower to be promptly performed or observed on behalf of Borrower.  All amounts advanced by, or on behalf of, Lender in exercising its rights under this Section 2.6.7(g) (including, but not limited to, reasonable legal expenses and disbursements incurred in connection therewith), together with interest thereon at the Default Rate from the date of each such advance, shall be payable by Borrower to Lender upon demand and shall be secured by this Agreement.
2.6.8    Sales of Rate Cap Collateral.  No demand, advertisement or notice, all of which are, to the fullest extent permitted by law, hereby expressly waived by Borrower, shall be required in connection with any sale or other disposition of all or any part of the Rate Cap Collateral, except that Lender shall give Borrower at least thirty (30) Business Days’ prior written notice of the time and place of any public sale or of the time when and the place where any private sale or other disposition is to be made, which notice Borrower hereby agrees is reasonable, all other demands, advertisements and notices being hereby waived.  To the extent permitted by law, Lender shall not be obligated to make any sale of the Rate Cap Collateral if it shall determine not to do so, regardless of the fact that notice of sale may have been given, and Lender may without notice or publication adjourn any public or private sale, and such sale may, without further notice, be made at the time and place to which the same was so adjourned.  Upon each private sale of the Rate Cap Collateral of a type customarily sold in a recognized market and upon each public sale, unless prohibited by any applicable statute which cannot be waived, Lender (or its nominee or designee) may purchase any or all of the Rate Cap Collateral being sold, free and discharged from any trusts, claims, equity or right of redemption of Borrower, all of which are hereby waived and released to the extent permitted by law, and may make payment therefor by credit against any of the Obligations in lieu of cash or any other obligations.  In the case of all sales of the Rate Cap Collateral, public or private, Borrower shall pay all reasonable costs and expenses of every kind for sale or delivery, including brokers’ and attorneys’ fees and disbursements and any tax imposed thereon.  However, the proceeds of sale of Rate Cap Collateral shall be available to cover such costs and expenses, and, after deducting such costs and expenses from the proceeds of sale, Lender shall apply any residue to the payment of the Obligations in the order of priority as set forth in this Agreement.
2.6.9    Public Sales Not Possible.  Borrower acknowledges that the terms of the Interest Rate Cap Agreement may prohibit public sales, that the Rate Cap Collateral may not be of the type appropriately sold at public sales, and that such sales may be prohibited by law.  In light of these considerations, Borrower agrees that private sales of the Rate Cap 


68







Collateral shall not be deemed to have been made in a commercially unreasonably manner by mere virtue of having been made privately.
2.6.10    Receipt of Sale Proceeds.  Upon any sale of the Rate Cap Collateral by Lender hereunder (whether by virtue of the power of sale herein granted, pursuant to judicial process or otherwise), the receipt by Lender or the officer making the sale or the proceeds of such sale shall be a sufficient discharge to the purchaser or purchasers of the Rate Cap Collateral so sold, and such purchaser or purchasers shall not be obligated to see to the application of any part of the purchase money paid over to Lender or such officer or be answerable in any way for the misapplication or non-application thereof.
2.6.11    Replacement Interest Rate Cap Agreement.  If, in connection with Borrower’s exercise of any Extension Option pursuant to Section 2.7, Borrower delivers a Replacement Interest Rate Cap Agreement, all the provisions of this Section 2.6 applicable to the Interest Rate Cap Agreement delivered on the Closing Date shall be applicable to the Replacement Interest Rate Cap Agreement.
Section 2.7    Extension Options. 
2.7.1    Extension Options.  Borrower shall have the option to extend the term of the Loan for five (5) successive terms of one year beyond the Stated Maturity Date (each successive term, an “Extension Term”). Borrower shall have the option (the “First Extension Option”), by written notice (the “First Extension Notice”) delivered to Lender (which notice may be revoked) no later than thirty (30) days prior to the Stated Maturity Date, to extend the Maturity Date to July 9, 2021 (the “First Extended Maturity Date”).  In the event Borrower shall have exercised the First Extension Option, Borrower shall have the option (the “Second Extension Option”), by written notice (the “Second Extension Notice”) delivered to Lender (which notice may be revoked) no later than thirty (30) days prior to the First Extended Maturity Date, to extend the First Extended Maturity Date to July 9, 2022 (the “Second Extended Maturity Date”).  In the event Borrower shall have exercised the Second Extension Option, Borrower shall have the option (the “Third Extension Option”), by written notice (the “Third Extension Notice”) delivered to Lender (which notice may be revoked) no later than thirty (30) days prior to the Second Extended Maturity Date, to extend the Second Extended Maturity Date to July 9, 2023 (the “Third Extended Maturity Date”).  In the event Borrower shall have exercised the Third Extension Option, Borrower shall have the option (the “Fourth Extension Option”), by written notice (the “Fourth Extension Notice”) delivered to Lender (which notice may be revoked) no later than thirty (30) days prior to the Third Extended Maturity Date, to extend the Third Extended Maturity Date to July 9, 2024 (the “Fourth Extended Maturity Date”).  In the event Borrower shall have exercised the Fourth Extension Option, Borrower shall have the option (the “Fifth Extension Option”), by written notice (the “Fifth Extension Notice”) delivered to Lender (which notice may be revoked) no later than thirty (30) days prior to the Fourth Extended Maturity Date, to extend the Fourth Extended Maturity Date to July 9, 2025 (the “Fifth Extended Maturity Date”).  Borrower’s right to so extend the applicable 


69







Maturity Date shall be subject to the satisfaction of the following conditions precedent prior to each extension hereunder:

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the preceding two sentences, the completion, execution and submission of such documentation (other than such documentation set forth in Section 2.10.6(b)(i), (b)(ii) and (b)(iv) below) shall not be required if in Lender’s reasonable judgment such completion, execution or submission would subject Lender to any material unreimbursed cost or expense or would materially prejudice the legal or commercial position of Lender.

(D)    to the extent a Foreign Lender is not the beneficial owner, executed originals of IRS Form W-8IMY, accompanied by IRS Form W-8ECI, IRS Form W-8BEN (in the case of an individual) or W-8BEN-E (in the case of an entity), a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit F-2 or Exhibit F-3, IRS Form W-9, and/or other certification documents from each beneficial owner, as applicable; provided that if the Foreign Lender is a partnership and one or more direct or indirect partners of such Foreign Lender are claiming the portfolio interest exemption, such Foreign Lender may provide a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit F-4 on behalf of each such direct and indirect partner;
(iii)    any Foreign Lender shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, deliver to Borrower (in such number of copies as shall be reasonably requested by Borrower) on or prior to the date on which such Foreign Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of Borrower), executed originals of any other form prescribed by applicable law as a basis for claiming exemption from or a reduction in U.S. federal withholding Tax, duly completed, together with such supplementary documentation as may be prescribed by applicable law to permit Borrower to determine the withholding or deduction required to be made; and

Such indemnifying party, upon the request of such indemnified party, shall repay to such indemnified party the amount paid over pursuant to this Section 2.10.7 (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) in the event that such indemnified party is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 2.10.7, in no event will the indemnified party be required to pay any amount to an indemnifying party pursuant to this Section 2.10.7 the payment of which would place the indemnified party in a less favorable net after-Tax position than the indemnified party would have been in if the Tax subject to indemnification and giving rise to such refund had not been deducted, withheld or otherwise imposed and the indemnification payments or additional amounts with respect to such Tax had never been paid.  This Section 2.10.7 shall not be construed to require any indemnified party to make available its Tax returns (or any other information relating to its Taxes that it deems confidential) to the indemnifying party or any other Person.
2.10.8    Survival.  Each party’s obligations under this Section 2.10 shall survive any assignment of rights by, or the replacement of, Lender and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all obligations under any Loan Document.

No Loan Party or any of its ERISA Affiliates sponsors, maintains or contributes to any Plans or Foreign Plans.

(b)    Each Plan (and each related trust, insurance contract or fund) is in compliance in all materials respects with its terms and will all applicable laws, including without limitation ERISA and the Code.  Each Plan that is intended to be qualified under Section 401(a) of the Code as currently in effect has been determined by the IRS to be so qualified, and each trust related to any such Plan has been determined to be exempt from federal income tax under Section 501(a) of the Code as currently in effect, and no event has taken 


80







place which could reasonably be expected to cause the loss of such qualified status and exempt status.  With respect to each Plan of a Loan Party, each Loan Party and all of its ERISA Affiliates have satisfied the minimum funding standard under Section 412(a) of the Code and Section 302(a) of ERISA and paid all required minimum contributions and all required installments on or before the due dates under Section 430(j) of the Code and Section 303(j) of ERISA.  Neither any Loan Party nor any of its ERISA Affiliates has filed, pursuant to Section 412(c) of the Code or Section 302(c) of ERISA, an application for a waiver of the minimum funding standard.  Neither any Loan Party nor any of its ERISA Affiliates has incurred any liability to the PBGC which remains outstanding other than the payment of premiums, and there are no premium payments which have become due which are unpaid.  No Plan is in “at risk” status within the meaning of Section 430(i) of the Code or Section 303(j) of ERISA.  There are no existing, pending or threatened claims (other than routine claims for benefits in the normal course), sanctions, actions, lawsuits or other proceedings or investigation involving any Plan to which any Loan Party or any of its ERISA Affiliates has incurred or otherwise has or could have an obligation or any liability.

(c)    Each Foreign Plan is in compliance in all material respects with all laws, regulations and rules applicable thereto and the respective requirements of the governing documents for such plan.  The aggregate of the liabilities to provide all of the accrued benefits under each Foreign Plan does not exceed the current fair market value of the assets held in the trust or other funding vehicle for such plan.  There are no actions, suits or claims (other than routine claims for benefits) pending or threatened against any Loan Party or any of its ERISA Affiliates with respect to any Foreign Plan.

The amount of such business income or rental loss insurance shall be determined prior to the Closing Date and at least once each year thereafter based on Borrower’ reasonable estimate of the net income from each Property for the succeeding twelve (12) month period.  All proceeds payable to Lender pursuant to this subsection shall be held by Lender and shall be applied in Lender’s sole discretion to (x) the Obligations or (y) Operating Expenses approved by Lender in its sole discretion; provided, however, that nothing herein contained shall be deemed to relieve Borrower of their obligation to pay the Obligations on the respective dates of payment provided for in this Agreement and the other Loan Documents except to the extent such amounts are actually paid out of the proceeds of such business income insurance;

Not less than ten (10) days prior to the expiration dates of the Policies theretofore furnished to Lender, certificates of insurance evidencing the Policies (and, upon the written request of Lender, copies of such Policies) accompanied by evidence satisfactory to Lender of payment of the premiums then due thereunder (the “Insurance Premiums”), shall be delivered by Borrower to Lender.

(i)    no act or negligence of Borrower, or anyone acting for Borrower, or of any Tenant or other occupant, or failure to comply with the provisions of any Policy, which might otherwise result in a forfeiture of the insurance or any part thereof, shall in any way affect the validity or enforceability of the insurance insofar as Lender is concerned;
(ii)    the Policy shall not be canceled without at least thirty (30) days’ written notice to Lender and any other party named therein as an additional insured (other than in the case of non-payment in which case only ten days prior notice, or the shortest time allowed by applicable Legal Requirement (whichever is longer), will be required) and shall not be materially changed (other than to increase the coverage provided thereby) without such a thirty (30) day notice;
(iii)    Lender shall not be liable for any Insurance Premiums thereon or subject to any assessments thereunder; and

Notwithstanding anything in this Section 5.1 to the contrary, Borrower shall be permitted to obtain and maintain insurance policies with deductibles in excess of the amounts specified in this Section 5.1, so long as Borrower shall have deposited into and maintains at all times in the Special Insurance Reserve Account an amount equal to the difference between such higher deductible and the applicable deductible specified in this Section 5.1 (such amount, the “Excess Deductible”).
5.1.4    Previously-Owned Properties.  During any period a Previously-Owned Property was held by any Loan Party (or any predecessor entity), such Previously-Owned Property was held subject to insurance policies with coverage consistent with the requirements of this Section 5.1 (or, if less restrictive, the requirements of the corresponding provisions under the 2015-3 IH2 Loan Agreement).
Section 5.2    Casualty.  If one or more Properties are damaged or destroyed in whole or in part by fire or other casualty (a “Casualty”) and either (i) the aggregate loss amount is or is reasonably expected to exceed $25,000, or (ii) any damaged Property is or is reasonably expected to be rendered uninhabitable for more than thirty (30) days as a result of the Casualty, then (A) the Borrower is required to file proof of loss under the applicable Policy or Policies and (B) the Borrower shall give prompt notice of the Casualty to the Lender.  Lender may, but shall not be obligated to make proof of loss if not made promptly by Borrower.  In addition, Lender may participate in any settlement discussions with any insurance companies (and shall approve any final settlement) (x) if an Event of Default is continuing or (y) with respect to any Casualty in which the Net Proceeds or the costs of completing the Restoration are reasonably expected to be equal to or greater than the Casualty Threshold Amount and Borrower shall deliver to Lender all instruments required by Lender to permit such participation.  Any Insurance Proceeds in connection with any Casualty (whether or not Lender elects to settle and adjust the claim or Borrower settles such claim) shall be due and payable solely to Lender and held by Lender in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.  If Borrower or any party other than Lender receives any Insurance Proceeds or Condemnation Proceeds, Borrower shall immediately deliver such proceeds to Lender and shall endorse, and cause all such third parties to endorse, check payable therefor to the order of Lender.

Borrower hereby releases Lender from any and all liability with respect to the settlement and adjustment by Lender of any claims in respect of any Casualty.  Solely with respect to any HOA Property for which an HOA provides one or more property insurance policies that covers a Casualty (each an “HOA Policy”), the following additional provisions shall apply: (1) Borrower shall first make, or request the HOA to make, a claim with respect to any such Casualty under such HOA Policy or HOA Policies, (2) to the extent Borrower has any right to participate in any settlement discussions with insurance companies or approve any final settlement under the HOA Policies and the loss is greater than $25,000, Lender shall have the right to participate in any settlement discussions with any such insurance companies and to approve any final settlement to the same extent it has such rights as described above with respect to Borrower’s Policies, (3) to the extent permitted under the HOA Policies, any insurance proceeds of the HOA Policies that relate to such Casualty shall be handled and directed in the same manner as Insurance Proceeds, and (4) in the event that insurance proceeds payable with respect to such Casualty under the HOA Policies 


121







are insufficient to pay the expected costs of completing the Restoration, Borrower shall make a claim under its insurance policies maintained in accordance with Section 5.1.1.
Section 5.3    Condemnation.  Borrower shall promptly give Lender notice of the actual or threatened commencement of any proceeding for the Condemnation of all or any portion of a Property and shall deliver to Lender copies of any and all papers served in connection with such proceedings.  Lender may participate in any such proceedings, and Borrower shall from time to time deliver to Lender all instruments requested by it to permit such participation.  Borrower shall, at its expense, diligently prosecute any such proceedings, and shall consult with Lender, its attorneys and experts, and cooperate with them in the carrying on or defense of any such proceedings which is reasonably expected to involve an Award of an amount greater than the Casualty Threshold Amount.  Notwithstanding any taking by any public or quasi-public authority through Condemnation or otherwise (including, but not limited to, any transfer made in lieu of or in anticipation of the exercise of such taking), Borrower shall continue to pay the Debt at the time and in the manner provided for its payment in the Note and in this Agreement and the Debt shall not be reduced until any Condemnation Proceeds shall have been actually received and applied by Lender, after the deduction of expenses of collection, to the reduction or discharge of the Debt.  If Borrower or any party other than Lender receives any Condemnation Proceeds, Borrower shall immediately deliver such proceeds to Lender and shall endorse, and cause all such third parties to endorse, a check payable therefore to the order of Lender.  Lender shall not be limited to the interest paid on the Award by the condemning authority but shall be entitled to receive out of the Award interest at the rate or rates provided herein or in the Note.  Net Proceeds from a Condemnation shall be applied as follows:
(a)    If a partial Condemnation of a Property does not interfere with the use of such Property as a residential rental property, then the Net Proceeds paid by the condemning authority shall be applied to the prepayment of the Debt in accordance with Section 2.4.3(c).  
(b)    If a partial Condemnation of a Property does interfere with the use of such Property as a residential rental property or if there occurs a complete Condemnation of a Property (each, a “Fully Condemned Property”), then (i) if no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing and, within thirty (30) days of the date of the occurrence of such Condemnation, Borrower delivers to Lender a written undertaking to substitute the Fully Condemned Property with a Substitute Property in accordance with the requirements of Section 2.4.3(a), then (A) if Net Proceeds are paid by the condemning authority directly to Borrower subsequent to such Substitution, such Net Proceeds may be retained by Borrower (for the avoidance of doubt, Net Proceeds received by Borrower prior to such Substitution shall be immediately paid to Lender as required by Section 5.2), (B) if Net Proceeds are paid by the condemning authority to Lender, such Net Proceeds will be disbursed by Lender to Borrower upon the consummation of such Substitution and (C) Borrower shall provide a Substitute Property within ten (10) Business Days of the date of such undertaking in accordance with the requirements of Section 2.4.3(a) and (ii) if an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing or Borrower fails to deliver such an undertaking to Lender, then (A) Lender may retain any Net Proceeds received by it, (B) Borrower shall immediately deliver to Lender any Net Proceeds paid to Borrower, (C) Net Proceeds shall be applied to

Following Borrower’s written request after either (1) the Substitution of a Substitute Property for such Fully Condemned Property in accordance with the conditions set forth above or (2) receipt by Lender of the Net Proceeds and payment by Borrower of the Fully Condemned Property Prepayment Amounts, Lender shall release the Fully Condemned Property from the applicable Mortgage Documents and related Lien, provided, that (x) Borrower has delivered to Lender a draft release (and, in the event the Mortgage and the Assignment of Leases and Rents applicable to the Fully Condemned Property encumbers other Property(ies) in addition to the Fully Condemned Property, such release shall be a partial release that relates only to the Fully Condemned Property and does not affect the Liens and security interests encumbering or on the other Property(ies)) in form and substance appropriate for the jurisdiction in which such Fully Condemned Property is located and shall contain standard provisions protecting the rights of Lender and (y) Borrower shall pay all costs, taxes and expenses associated with such release (including, without limitation, cost to file and record the release and Lender’s reasonable attorneys’ fees).

(i)    the Net Proceeds shall be made available to Borrower for Restoration upon the determination of Lender that the following conditions are met: (i) Borrower shall commence the Restoration as soon as reasonably practicable (but in no event later than ninety (90) days after such Casualty occurs) and shall diligently pursue the same to satisfactory completion; (ii) Lender shall be satisfied that any operating deficits, including all scheduled payments of principal and interest under the Note, which will be incurred with respect to the Properties as a result of the occurrence of the Casualty, whichever the case may be, will be covered out of (1) the Net Proceeds, (2) the insurance coverage referred to in Section 5.1.1(a)(ii), if applicable, or (3) by other funds of Borrower; (iii) Lender shall be satisfied that the Restoration will be completed on or before the earliest to occur of (1) the date six (6) months prior to the Stated Maturity Date, as extended pursuant to Section 2.7, (2) the earliest date required for such completion under the terms of any Lease, (3) such time as may be required under applicable Legal Requirements or (4) six (6) months prior to the expiration of the insurance coverage referred to in Section 5.1.1(a)(ii); (iv) Borrower shall cause the affected Property and the use thereof after the Restoration to be in compliance with and permitted under all applicable Legal Requirements and such Property, after Restoration, shall be of the same character as prior to such damage or destruction; (v) the Restoration shall be done and completed by Borrower in an expeditious and diligent fashion and in compliance with all applicable Legal Requirements and the Renovation Standards; (vi) Borrower shall deliver, or cause to be delivered, to Lender a signed detailed budget approved in writing by Borrower’s architect or engineer stating the entire cost of completing the Restoration, which budget shall be reasonably acceptable to Lender and (vii) the Net Proceeds together with any cash or cash equivalent deposited by Borrower with Lender are sufficient in Lender’s discretion to cover the cost of the Restoration.
(ii)    The Net Proceeds shall be held by Lender in the Casualty and Condemnation Account and, until disbursed in accordance with the provisions of this Section 5.4(d), shall constitute additional security for the Debt and other obligations under the Loan Documents.  The Net Proceeds shall be disbursed by Lender to, or as directed by, Borrower from time to time during the course of the Restoration, upon receipt of evidence satisfactory to Lender that (A) all materials installed and work and labor performed (except to the extent that they are to be paid for out of the requested disbursement) in connection with the Restoration have been paid for in full, and (B) there exist no notices of pendency, stop orders, 


125







mechanic’s or materialman’s liens or notices of intention to file same, or any other liens or encumbrances of any nature whatsoever on the Properties which have been fully bonded to the satisfaction of Lender and discharged of record or in the alternative fully insured to the satisfaction of Lender by the title company issuing the Title Insurance Policy.
(iii)    All plans and specifications required in connection with the Restoration shall be subject to the prior approval of Lender and an independent consulting engineer selected by Lender (the “Casualty Consultant”).  Lender shall have the use of the plans and specifications and all permits, licenses and approvals required or obtained in connection with the Restoration.  The identity of the contractors, subcontractors and materialmen engaged in the Restoration, as well as the contracts under which they have been engaged, shall be subject to the approval of Lender and the Casualty Consultant.  All costs and expenses incurred by Lender in connection with recovering, holding and advancing the Net Proceeds for the Restoration including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements and the Casualty Consultant’s fees and disbursements, shall be paid by Borrower.
(iv)    In no event shall Lender be obligated to make disbursements of the Net Proceeds in excess of an amount equal to the costs actually incurred from time to time for work in place as part of the Restoration, as certified by the Casualty Consultant, less the Casualty Retainage.  The term “Casualty Retainage” shall mean, as to each contractor, subcontractor or materialman engaged in the Restoration, an amount equal to ten percent (10%) of the costs actually incurred for work in place as part of the Restoration, as certified by the Casualty Consultant, until the Restoration has been completed.  The Casualty Retainage shall in no event, and notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth above in this Section 5.4(d), be less than the amount actually held back by Borrower from contractors, subcontractors and materialmen engaged in the Restoration.  The Casualty Retainage shall not be released until the Casualty Consultant certifies to Lender that the Restoration has been completed in accordance with the provisions of this Section 5.4(b) and that all approvals necessary for the re-occupancy and use of the Property have been obtained from all appropriate Governmental Authorities, and Lender receives evidence satisfactory to Lender that the costs of the Restoration have been paid in full or will be paid in full out of the Casualty Retainage; provided, however, that Lender will release the portion of the Casualty Retainage being held with respect to any contractor, subcontractor or materialman engaged in the Restoration as of the date upon which (x) the Casualty Consultant certifies to Lender that such contractor, subcontractor or materialman has satisfactorily completed all work and has supplied all materials in accordance with the provisions of such contractor’s, subcontractor’s or materialman’s contract, (y) the contractor, subcontractor or materialman delivers the lien waivers and evidence of payment in full of all sums due to the contractor, subcontractor or materialman as may be reasonably requested by Lender or by the title company issuing the Title Insurance Policy, and (z) Lender receives an endorsement to the Title Insurance Policy insuring the continued priority of the Lien of the Mortgage and evidence of payment of any premium payable for such endorsement.  If required by Lender, the release of any such portion of the Casualty Retainage shall be approved by the surety 


126







company, if any, which has issued a payment or performance bond with respect to the contractor, subcontractor or materialman.
(v)    Lender shall not be obligated to make disbursements of the Net Proceeds more frequently than once every calendar month.
(vi)    If at any time the Net Proceeds or the undisbursed balance thereof shall not, in the opinion of Lender in consultation with the Casualty Consultant, be sufficient to pay in full the balance of the costs which are estimated by the Casualty Consultant to be incurred in connection with the completion of the Restoration, Borrower shall deposit the deficiency (the “Net Proceeds Deficiency”) with Lender (for deposit into the Casualty and Condemnation Account) before any further disbursement of the Net Proceeds shall be made.  The Net Proceeds Deficiency deposited with Lender shall be deposited by Lender into the Casualty and Condemnation Account and shall be disbursed for costs actually incurred in connection with the Restoration on the same conditions applicable to the disbursement of the Net Proceeds, and until so disbursed pursuant to this Section 5.4(d) shall constitute additional security for the Obligations.
(vii)    The excess, if any, of the Net Proceeds and the remaining balance, if any, of the Net Proceeds Deficiency deposited with Lender after the Casualty Consultant certifies to Lender that the Restoration has been completed in accordance with the provisions of this Section 5.4(d), and the receipt by Lender of evidence satisfactory to Lender that all costs incurred in connection with the Restoration have been paid in full, shall be remitted by Lender to Borrower, provided no Event of Default shall have occurred and shall be continuing.
(e)    All reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred by Lender in connection with any Restoration including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements, shall be paid by Borrower.
(f)    Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Agreement, including the provisions of Section 5.3 or Section 5.4, if the Loan is included in a REMIC Trust and, immediately following a release of any portion of the Lien of a Mortgage following a Casualty or Condemnation of a Property (but taking into account any proposed Restoration of the remaining portion of such Property), the ratio of the unpaid principal balance of the Loan to the value of the remaining Properties is greater than one hundred twenty-five percent (125%) (such value to be determined, in Lender’s sole discretion, by any commercially reasonable method permitted to a REMIC Trust; and which shall exclude the value of personal property (other than fixtures) or going concern value, if any), the Outstanding Principal Balance must be paid down (by application of the Net Proceeds or Award, as applicable, or if such amounts are not sufficient, by Borrower) by a “qualified amount” as that term is defined in the IRS Revenue Procedure 2010-30, as the same may be amended, replaced, supplemented or modified from time to time, unless Lender receives an opinion of counsel that if such amount is not paid, the applicable 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 such Mortgage.  If and to the extent the preceding sentence applies, only such amount 


127







of the net Award or net Insurance Proceeds (as applicable), if any, in excess of the amount required to pay down the principal balance of the Loan may be released for purposes of Restoration or released to Borrower as otherwise expressly provided in Section 5.3 or Section 5.4.
(g)    In the event of foreclosure of a Mortgage, or other transfer of title to a Property or Properties in extinguishment in whole or in part of the Debt all right, title and interest of Borrower in and to the Policies that are not blanket Policies then in force concerning such Property or Properties and all proceeds payable thereunder shall thereupon vest in the purchaser at such foreclosure or Lender or other transferee in the event of such other transfer of title.

CASH MANAGEMENT AND RESERVE FUNDS
Section 6.1    Cash Management Arrangements.  
6.1.1    Rent Deposit Account and Collection Account.  Borrower shall establish and maintain one or more trust accounts for the purpose of collecting Rents (each, a “Rent Deposit Account”) at a bank selected by Borrower and reasonably approved by Lender which shall be an Eligible Institution (the “Rent Deposit Bank”).  The Rent Deposit Accounts shall be subject to a Deposit Account Control Agreement and Borrower and Manager shall have access to and may make withdrawals from any Rent Deposit Account for the sole purpose of making refunds of partial payments of Rents to preserve rights of eviction (as provided below) until the occurrence of an Event of Default, after which Lender may exercise sole control and dominion over each Rent Deposit Account and neither Borrower nor Manager shall have the right of withdrawal from or access to the Rent Deposit Accounts; provided that, for the avoidance of doubt, no Deposit Account Control Agreement shall be required with respect to Security Deposit Accounts.  Borrower shall cause all Rents which are paid to or received by Borrower or Manager to be deposited into a Rent Deposit Account or the Collection Account, provided that all Rents are deposited into the Collection Account within three (3) Business Days after receipt thereof by Borrower or Manager.  Borrower shall (or instruct Manager to) cause all funds on deposit in a Rent Deposit Account to be deposited into the Collection Account every third (3rd) Business Day (or more frequently in Borrower’s discretion), provided, that so long as no Event of Default exists, Borrower may cause Rent Deposit Bank to retain a reasonable amount of funds in the Rent Deposit Accounts (the “Rent Deposit Account Retained Amount”) with respect to anticipated overdrafts, charge-backs and refunds of partial payments of Rents to preserve rights of eviction, provided in no event shall the Rent Deposit Account Retained Amount exceed two and one-half percent (2.5%) of the total Rents deposited into the Rent Deposit Accounts during the immediately prior calendar month.  Borrower shall cause any Rents which are paid to Borrower or Manager via wire or other electronic means to be deposited directly into a Rent Deposit Account or the Collection Account and, without limitation of the 


128







foregoing, Borrower shall notify and advise each current and future Tenant to send all payments of Rent pursuant to an instruction letter in the form of Exhibit D attached hereto (a “Tenant Direction Letter”).  Without the consent of Lender, neither Borrower nor Manager shall terminate, amend, revoke or modify any Tenant Direction Letter in any manner whatsoever, or direct or cause any Tenant to pay any amount in any manner other than as provided in the related Tenant Direction Letter.  In the event of any Transfer of any Property, Borrower shall (or shall cause the Manager or the closing title company or escrow agent, as applicable, to) deposit directly into the Collection Account the Net Transfer Proceeds for allocation in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.  In addition, Borrower shall, and shall cause Manager to, deposit any other Collections received by or on behalf of Borrower directly into the Collection Account within three (3) Business Days following receipt thereof.  Without in any way limiting the foregoing, any Rents and other Collections received by Borrower or Manager shall be deemed to be collateral for the Obligations and shall be held in trust for the benefit, and as the property, of Lender, and such amounts shall not be commingled with any other funds or property of Borrower or Manager.  Lender may also establish subaccounts of the Collection Account which shall at all times be Eligible Accounts (and may be ledger or book entry accounts and not actual accounts) (such subaccounts are referred to herein as “Accounts”).  The Collection Account and all other Accounts shall be subject to the Cash Management Agreement and shall be under the sole control and dominion of Lender, and Borrower shall have no right of withdrawal therefrom.  Neither Borrower nor Manager shall have the right of withdrawal with respect to the Collection Account or any Accounts except with the prior written consent of Lender, and neither Borrower, Manager, nor any Person claiming on or behalf of or through Borrower or Manager shall have any right or authority to give instructions with respect to the Collection Account or the Accounts. Borrower acknowledges and agrees that Collection Account Bank shall comply with (i) the instructions originated by Lender with respect to the disposition of funds in the Collection Account and the Accounts without the further consent of Borrower or Manager or any other Person and (ii) all “entitlement orders” (as defined in Section 8-102(a)(8) of the UCC) and instructions originated by Lender directing the transfer or redemption of any financial asset relating to the Collection Account or any Account without further consent by Borrower or any other Person. The Collection Account and each Account is and shall be treated either as a “securities account”, as such term is defined in Section 8-501(a) of the UCC, or a “deposit account”, as defined in Section 9-102(a)(29) of the UCC.  Borrower shall not further pledge, assign or grant any security interest in the Rent Deposit Accounts or the monies deposited therein or permit any lien or encumbrance to attach thereto, or any levy to be made thereon, or any UCC-1 financing statements, except those naming Lender as the secured party, to be filed with respect thereto.  Borrower shall indemnify Lender and hold Lender harmless from and against any and all actions, suits, claims, demands, liabilities, losses, damages, obligations and costs and expenses (including litigation costs and reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses) arising from or in any way connected with the Rent Deposit Accounts and/or the related Deposit Account Control Agreement (unless arising from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of Lender) or the performance of the obligations for which the Rent Deposit Accounts were established.


129







6.1.2    Investment of Funds in Collection Account, Accounts, and Rent Deposit Account. Sums on deposit in the Collection Account and the Accounts may be invested in Permitted Investments.  Lender shall have the right to direct Collection Account Bank to invest sums on deposit in the Collection Account and the Accounts in Permitted Investments. The Collection Account shall be assigned the federal tax identification number of Borrower.  Sums on deposit in the Rent Deposit Accounts shall not be invested in Permitted Investments and shall be held solely in cash.  The amount of actual losses sustained on a liquidation of a Permitted Investment in the Collection Account or an Account shall be deposited into the Collection Account or the applicable Account, as applicable, by Borrower no later than one (1) Business Day following such liquidation.  Borrower shall be responsible for payment of any federal, state or local income or other tax applicable to income earned from Permitted Investments.  
6.1.3    Borrower’s Operating Account.  Borrower shall establish and maintain an account (the “Borrower’s Operating Account”) at a bank selected by Borrower.  Borrower may also establish and maintain subaccounts of Borrower’s Operating Account (which may be ledger or book entry accounts and not actual accounts).  Any Funds distributed to Borrower’s Operating Account pursuant to Section 6.8.1(i)(B)(1) shall be used by Borrower only to pay for Operating Expenses and Capital Expenditures set forth in the Approved Annual Budget or reimburse Borrower for such Operating Expenses and Capital Expenditures, as applicable.
6.1.4    General. Borrower shall pay for all expenses of opening and maintaining the Collection Account (and the Accounts) and the Rent Deposit Accounts. There are no other accounts maintained by Borrower or Manager or any other Person other than the Rent Deposit Accounts and the Collection Account into which Rents or any other Collections shall be deposited.  So long as the Debt is outstanding, Borrower shall not (and shall not permit Manager or any other Person to) open any other account for the deposit of Rents or any other Collections.
Section 6.2    Tax Funds; HOA Funds.
6.2.1    Deposits of Tax Funds.  Borrower shall deposit with Lender (i) on the Closing Date, an amount equal to $3,589,495 and (ii) on each Monthly Payment Date, an amount equal to one-twelfth of the Property Taxes that Lender estimates will be payable during the next ensuing twelve (12) months, in order to accumulate sufficient funds to pay all such Property Taxes prior to their respective due dates, which amounts shall be transferred into an Account (the “Tax Account”).  Amounts deposited from time to time into the Tax Account pursuant to this Section 6.2.1 are referred to herein as the “Tax Funds”.  If at any time Lender reasonably determines that the Tax Funds will not be sufficient to pay the Property Taxes, Lender shall notify Borrower of such determination and, commencing with the first Monthly Payment Date following Borrower’s receipt of such written notice, the monthly deposits for Property Taxes shall be increased by the amount that Lender estimates is sufficient to make up the deficiency at least ten (10) days prior to the respective due dates for the Property Taxes; provided, that if Borrower receives notice of any deficiency after

6.2.2    Release of Tax Funds.  Provided no Event of Default is continuing, Lender shall apply Tax Funds in the Tax Account to reimburse Borrower for payments of Property Taxes made by Borrower after delivery by Borrower to Lender of evidence of such payment reasonably acceptable to Lender.  If the amount of the Tax Funds shall exceed the amounts due for Property Taxes, Lender shall, in its sole discretion, return any excess to Borrower or credit such excess against future payments to be made to the Tax Funds.  Any Tax Funds remaining in the Tax Account after the Obligations have been paid in full shall be returned to Borrower.  Provided no Default or Event of Default exists, the Tax Funds reserved for any Property will be released upon a permitted sale and release of such Property in accordance with the terms hereof or upon the Substitution of the Property in accordance with Section 2.4.3(a) or Section 2.11.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in Section 6.2.1, so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, Borrower shall not be required to make deposits of Tax Funds to the Tax Account for any Property if Borrower maintains a program whereby it prepays twelve (12) months of Property Taxes for such Property prior to the due dates therefor.  If Borrower maintains such a program for a Property it may make an election to discontinue deposits of Tax Funds to the Tax Account for the applicable Properties by providing a written notice thereof to Lender (a “Property Tax Prepayment Election”).  In addition,  Borrower shall deliver to Lender, within forty-five (45) days after the end of each calendar quarter, commencing with the calendar quarter ending September 30, 2018, proof of payment of prepaid Property Taxes for the Properties identified in the Property Tax Prepayment Election (whether in the form of cancelled checks, receipts, ACH confirmations, confirmation of electronic payments or other evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory to Lender) unless such proof of payment has previously been delivered (i.e., during the prior calendar quarter).
6.2.4    Deposits of HOA Funds.  Borrower shall deposit with Lender on the Closing Date, an amount equal to the HOA Fees that Lender estimates will be payable with respect to all Applicable HOA Properties during the next ensuing twelve (12) months (initially, $103,253) which amounts shall be transferred into a subaccount established at the Collection Account Bank to hold such funds (the “HOA Subaccount”).  Amounts deposited from time to time into the HOA Subaccount pursuant to this Section 6.2.4 are referred to herein as the “HOA Funds”.  If at any time Lender reasonably determines that the HOA Funds will not be sufficient to pay the HOA Fees for the Applicable HOA Properties for the next ensuing twelve (12) months, Lender shall notify Borrower of such determination and, within thirty (30) days following Borrower’s receipt of such written notice, Borrower shall deposit with Lender for transfer into the HOA Subaccount an amount that Lender estimates is sufficient to make up the deficiency.

If the amount of the HOA Funds shall exceed the HOA Fees that Lender estimates will be payable with respect to all Applicable HOA Properties during the next ensuing twelve (12) months, Lender shall, in its sole discretion, return any excess to Borrower or credit such excess against future payments to be made to the HOA Funds.  Any HOA Funds remaining in the HOA Subaccount after the Obligations have been paid in full shall be returned to Borrower.  Provided no Default or Event of Default exists, the HOA Funds reserved for any Applicable HOA Property shall be released upon a permitted sale and release of such Property in accordance with the terms hereof or upon the Substitution of the Property in accordance with Section 2.4.3(a) or Section 2.11.

(f)    sixth, to the Capital Expenditure Account, to make the required payments of Capital Expenditure Funds as required under Section 6.4;
(g)    seventh, to Lender, any other fees, costs, expenses (including Trust Fund Expenses) or indemnities then due or payable under this Agreement or any other Loan Document;
(h)    eighth, to Lender the amount of any mandatory prepayment of the Outstanding Principal Balance pursuant to Sections 2.4.3 then due and payable and all other amounts payable in connection therewith, such amounts to be applied in the manner set forth in Section 2.4.5(d);
(i)    ninth, all amounts remaining after payment of the amounts set forth in clauses (a) through (h) above (the “Available Cash”) either:
(A)    if as of a Monthly Payment Date no Low Debt Yield Period is continuing, any remaining amounts to Borrower’s Operating Account; and
(B)    if as of a Monthly Payment Date a Low Debt Yield Period is continuing:
(1)    first, to Borrower’s Operating Account, funds in an amount equal to the Monthly Budgeted Amount;
(2)    second, to Borrower’s Operating Account, payments for Approved Extraordinary Operating Expenses, if any; and
(3)    third, to the Cash Collateral Account to be held or disbursed in accordance with Section 6.7.
6.8.2    Application During Event of Default.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein (including this Article 6), upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, Lender, at its option, may apply any Collections then in the possession of Lender, Servicer or the Collection Account Bank (including any Reserve Funds on deposit in the Accounts) or any Rent Deposit Account Bank to the payment of the Debt in such order, proportion and priority as Lender may determine in its sole and absolute 


136







discretion.  Lender’s right to withdraw and apply any of the foregoing funds shall be in addition to all other rights and remedies provided to Lender under the Loan Documents.
6.8.3    Annual Budget.  Prior to the date hereof, Borrower has submitted and Lender has approved an Annual Budget for the 2018 calendar year (the “Approved Initial Budget”).  Borrower shall submit to Lender by November 1 of each year the Annual Budget relating to the Properties for the succeeding Fiscal Year.  During the continuance of a Trigger Period, Lender shall have the right to approve each Annual Budget (which approval shall not be unreasonably conditioned, delayed or withheld so long as no Event of Default is continuing).  An Annual Budget approved by Lender during a Trigger Period or any Annual Budget submitted prior to the commencement of a Trigger Period, shall each hereinafter be referred to as an “Approved Annual Budget”.  In the event of a Transfer of any Property the Approved Annual Budget shall be reduced as reasonably determined by Lender in consultation with Borrower in order to reflect the removal of such Property and the Operating Expenses associated therewith; provided, further, that no such reduction shall be made in the event such Transfer is made in connection with a Substitution under Section 2.4.3(a).  If Lender has the right to approve an Annual Budget pursuant to this Section 6.8.3, neither Borrower nor Manager shall change or modify the Annual Budget that has been approved by Lender without the prior written consent of Lender (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed so long as no Event of Default is continuing).  The “Monthly Budgeted Amount” for each Monthly Payment Date shall mean the monthly amount set forth in the Approved Annual Budget for Operating Expenses and Capital Expenditures for the Interest Period related to such Monthly Payment Date.  If during any Trigger Period, Borrower has submitted an Annual Budget and such Annual Budget has not been approved prior to the commencement of the calendar year to which such budget relates then the previous Approved Annual Budget shall continue to be deemed to be the Approved Annual Budget for that calendar year, except that the line item for Capital Expenditures shall not exceed the Capital Expenditures set forth in the Approved Initial Budget.
6.8.4    Extraordinary Operating Expenses.  During any Low Debt Yield Period, in the event that Borrower incurs or is required to incur an extraordinary operating expense not set forth in the Approved Annual Budget relating to the Properties (each an “Extraordinary Operating Expense”), then Borrower shall promptly deliver to Lender a reasonably detailed explanation of such proposed Extraordinary Operating Expense for Lender’s approval.  Any Extraordinary Operating Expense approved by Lender is referred to herein as an “Approved Extraordinary Operating Expense”.  Any Funds distributed to Borrower for the payment of Approved Extraordinary Operating Expenses pursuant to Section 6.8.1 shall be used by Borrower only to pay for such Approved Extraordinary Operating Expenses or reimburse Borrower for such Approved Extraordinary Operating Expenses, as applicable.
Section 6.9    Security Interest in Reserve Funds.  As security for payment of the Debt and the performance by Borrower of all other terms, conditions and provisions of the Loan Documents, Borrower hereby pledges and assigns to Lender, and grants to Lender a security interest in, all Borrower’s right, title and interest in and to all (collectively, the “Account Collateral”) (i) 


137







Collections, (ii) any and all Permitted Investments, (iii) in and to all payments to, cash, checks, drafts, letters of credit, certificates and instruments from time to time held in the Rent Deposit Accounts, the Collection Account and/or Accounts (collectively, the “Cash Management Accounts”), (iv) all interest, dividends, cash, instruments, investment property and other property from time to time received, receivable or otherwise payable in respect of, or in exchange for, any or all of the foregoing, and (v) to the extent not covered by clauses (i), (ii), (iii) or (iv) above, all “proceeds” (as defined under the UCC) of any or all of the foregoing.  Borrower hereby grants to Lender a continuing security interest in, and agrees to hold in trust for the benefit of Lender, all Rents and other Collections in its possession prior to the (x) payment of such Collections to Lender or (y) deposit of such Collections into a Rent Deposit Account or Collection Account, as applicable.  Borrower shall not, without obtaining the prior written consent of Lender, further pledge, assign or grant any security interest in any Cash Management Account, or permit any Lien to attach thereto, or any levy to be made thereon, or any UCC Financing Statements, except those naming Lender as the secured party, to be filed with respect thereto.  This Agreement is, among other things, intended by the parties to be a security agreement for purposes of the UCC.  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 any Mortgage Documents, Borrower Security Agreement or exercise its other rights under any other Loan Documents.  Provided no Event of Default exists, all interest which accrues on the funds in the Collection Account or any Account (other than the Tax Account and the Insurance Account) shall accrue for the benefit of Borrower and shall be taxable to Borrower and shall be added to and disbursed in the same manner and under the same conditions as the principal sum on which said interest accrued.  Upon repayment in full of the Debt, all remaining funds in the Collection Account and the Accounts, if any, shall be promptly disbursed to Borrower.
Section 6.10    Eligibility Reserve Account.  
(a)    Deposit of Eligibility Funds.  If Borrower shall be required to make a prepayment in respect of any Property pursuant to Section 2.4.3(a) (other than in the case of any Property that constitutes a Disqualified Property due to the occurrence of a Voluntary Action in respect thereof), Borrower shall have an option to deposit into an Account (the “Eligibility Reserve Account”) an amount equal to one hundred percent (100%) of the Allocated Loan Amount for any such Property (“Eligibility Funds”), provided that  Borrower provides Lender with written notice of any such Eligibility Funds and, no later than the due date for the prepayment required under Section 2.4.3(a), delivers such Eligibility Funds with Lender for deposit to the Eligibility Reserve Account.  
(b)    Release of Eligibility Funds. Provided no Default or Event of Default exists, Lender shall disburse the Eligibility Funds with respect to a Property to Borrower upon (i) the sale of such Property and payment in full of the applicable Release Amount, (ii) upon such Property becoming an Eligible Property or (iii) upon the Substitution of the applicable Disqualified Property with a Substitute Property in accordance with the conditions of Section 2.4.3(a).


138







Section 6.11    Release of Reserve Funds Generally.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Article 6, disbursements of Reserve Funds to Borrower shall only occur on the Reserve Release Date after receipt by Lender of a Reserve Release Request from Borrower not less than five (5) Business Days prior to such date; provided, that if the amount of Reserves to be released to Borrower on any Reserve Release Date is less than the Minimum Disbursement Amount, then such Reserves shall continue to be maintained in the Reserve Accounts until the next Reserve Release Date on which an amount equal to or greater than the Minimum Disbursement Amount is available for disbursement or until the payment in full of the Obligations.

(vii)    notwithstanding the foregoing, no Transfer of any direct interest in Borrower or any other Loan Party which constitutes a portion of the Collateral shall be permitted; and
(viii)    so long as the Loan is outstanding, (A) no pledge or other encumbrance of any direct interests in any Restricted Pledge Party (other than pledges securing the Obligations pursuant to the Collateral Documents) shall be permitted, except that a pledge of the direct ownership interests in the most upper-tier Restricted Pledge Party shall be permitted if such pledge directly or indirectly secures indebtedness that is also directly or indirectly secured by substantial assets other than the Collateral, and (B) no Restricted Pledge Party shall issue preferred equity that has the characteristics of mezzanine debt (such as a fixed maturity date, regular payments of interest, a fixed rate of return and rights of the equity holder to demand repayment of its investment); and

Section 7.2    Cost and Expenses; Searches; Copies.

Section 8.2    Remedies.
8.2.1    Acceleration.  Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default (other than an Event of Default described in clauses (vii), (viii) or (ix) of Section 8.1) and at any time thereafter, Lender may, in addition to any other rights or remedies available to it pursuant to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents or at law or in equity, take such action, without notice or demand (and Borrower hereby expressly waives any such notice or demand), that Lender deems advisable to protect and enforce its rights against any Relevant Party and in and to the Properties, including declaring the Obligations to be immediately due and payable, and Lender may enforce or avail itself of any or all rights or remedies provided in the Loan Documents against the Relevant Parties, including all rights or remedies available at law or in equity; and upon any Event of Default described in clauses (vii), (viii) or (ix) of Section 8.1, the Obligations of Borrower hereunder and under the other Loan Documents shall immediately and automatically become due and payable in full, without notice or demand, and the Loan Parties hereby expressly waives any such notice or demand, anything contained herein or in any other Loan Document to the contrary notwithstanding.
8.2.2    Remedies Cumulative.  


144







(a)    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 each Relevant Party under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents executed and delivered by, or applicable to, a Relevant Party 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 Obligations shall be declared 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 with respect to the Collateral.  The rights, powers and remedies of Lender under this Agreement shall be cumulative and not exclusive of any other right, power or remedy which Lender may have against a Relevant Party pursuant to this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, or existing at law or in equity or otherwise.  Lender’s rights, powers and remedies may be pursued 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 or contract or as set forth herein or in the other Loan Documents or by equity.  Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, if an Event of Default is continuing (i) Lender shall not be subject to any “one action” or “election of remedies” law or rule, and (ii) all Liens and other rights, remedies or privileges provided to Lender shall remain in full force and effect until Lender has exhausted all of its remedies against the Properties and the other Collateral and each Mortgage has been foreclosed, sold and/or otherwise realized upon in satisfaction of the Obligations or the Obligations have been paid in full including, without limitation, any liquidation fees, workout fees, special servicing fees and interest payable on advances made by the Servicer with respect to delinquent debt service payments or expenses of curing Borrower’s or any Loan Party’s defaults under the Loan Documents or other similar fees payable to Servicer or any special servicer in connection therewith.  No delay or omission to exercise any remedy, right or power accruing upon an Event of Default shall impair any such remedy, right or power or shall be construed as a waiver thereof, but any such remedy, right or power may be exercised from time to time and as often as may be deemed expedient.  A waiver of one Default or Event of Default with respect to a Relevant Party shall not be construed to be a waiver of any subsequent Default or Event of Default by such Relevant Party or to impair any remedy, right or power consequent thereon.
(b)    With respect to Borrower, the other Loan Parties and the Collateral, nothing contained herein or in any other Loan Document shall be construed as requiring Lender to resort to any Property or other portion of the Collateral for the satisfaction of any of the Debt in preference or priority to any other portion of the Collateral, and Lender may seek satisfaction out of all of the Collateral or any part thereof, in its absolute discretion in respect of the Debt.  During the continuance of an Event of Default, Lender shall have the right from time to time to partially foreclose any Mortgage or the Lien of any of the other Collateral Documents in any manner and for any amounts secured by the Collateral Documents then due and payable as determined by Lender in its sole discretion, including the following circumstances:  (i) in the event Borrower defaults beyond any applicable grace period in the payment of one or more scheduled payments of principal and interest, Lender may foreclose one or more of the Mortgages or other Collateral Documents to recover such 


145







delinquent payments, or (ii) in the event Lender elects to accelerate less than the entire Outstanding Principal Balance, Lender may foreclose one or more of the Mortgages or other Collateral Documents to recover so much of the principal balance of the Loan as Lender may accelerate and such other sums secured by the Mortgages and the other Collateral Documents as Lender may elect.  Notwithstanding one or more partial foreclosures, the Collateral shall remain subject to the Mortgages and the other Collateral Documents to secure payment of the sums secured by the Collateral Documents and not previously recovered.
8.2.3    Severance.  
(a)    During the continuance of an Event of Default, Lender shall have the right from time to time to sever the Note and the other Loan Documents into one or more separate notes, Collateral Documents and other security documents in such denominations as Lender shall determine in its sole discretion for purposes of evidencing and enforcing its rights and remedies provided hereunder.  The Loan Parties 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.  The Loan Parties hereby absolutely and irrevocably appoint 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 the aforesaid severance, Borrower ratifying all that its said attorney shall do by virtue thereof; provided, however, Lender shall not make or execute any such documents under such power until three (3) days after notice has been given to a Loan Party by Lender of Lender’s intent to exercise its rights under such power.
(b)    During the continuance of an Event of Default, any amounts recovered from the Collateral may be applied by Lender toward the payment of any interest and/or principal of the Loan and/or any other amounts due under the Loan Documents, in such order, priority and proportions as Lender in its sole discretion shall determine.
(c)    As used in this Section 8.2, a “foreclosure” shall include, without limitation, any sale by power of sale.
8.2.4    Lender’s Right to Perform.  If any Loan Party fails to perform any covenant or obligation contained herein and such failure shall continue for a period of five (5) Business Days after Borrower’s receipt of written notice thereof from Lender, 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, 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 Obligations (and to the extent permitted under applicable laws, secured by the Mortgages and the other Collateral Documents) and shall bear interest thereafter at the Default Rate.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, Lender shall have no obligation to send notice to Borrower of any such failure.

(ii)    provide (A) an updated Insolvency Opinion, and (B) updated opinions of Borrower’s and Guarantors’ New York and Delaware counsel, substantially the same as those delivered as of the Closing Date, which opinions shall be addressed, for purposes or reliance thereon, to each Person acquiring any interest in the Loan in connection with any Secondary Market Transaction (including, without limitation, any “B Note” purchasers), or otherwise reasonably satisfactory to Lender and the Rating Agencies;
(iii)    (A) confirm that as of the closing date of any Secondary Market Transaction, the representations and warranties as set forth in the Loan Documents are true, complete and correct in all material respects as of the closing date of the Secondary Market Transaction (except to the extent that any such representations and warranties are and can only be made as of a specific date and the facts and circumstances upon which such representation and warranty is based are specific solely to a certain date in which case

confirmation as to truth, completeness and correctness shall be provided as of such specific date or to the extent such representations are no longer true and correct as a result of subsequent events in which case Borrower shall provide an updated representation or warranty) and (B) make such additional representations and warranties as the Rating Agencies may customarily require; and
(iv)    execute amendments to the Loan Documents and the Loan Parties’ organizational documents requested by Lender; provided, however, that Borrower shall not be required to modify or amend any Loan Document if such modification or amendment would (A) cause the initial weighted average of the interest rates for all Components in the aggregate immediately after the effective date of such modification to exceed the weighted average interest rate of the original Components in the aggregate immediately prior to such modification, (B) cause the outstanding principal balance of all Components in the aggregate immediately after the effective date of such modification to exceed the outstanding principal balance of all Components in the aggregate immediately prior to such modification, (C) require Borrower to make or remake any representations or warranties, (D) require principal amortization of the Loan (other than repayment in full on the Maturity Date), (E) change any Stated Maturity Date or (F) otherwise increase the obligations or reduce the rights of Borrower or any Guarantor under the Loan Documents.
(c)    If, at the time a Disclosure Document is being prepared for a Securitization, Lender reasonably determines that Borrower alone or Borrower and one or more Affiliates of Borrower (including any guarantor or other Person that is directly or indirectly committed by contract or otherwise to make payments on all or a part of the Loan) collectively, or the Properties alone or the Properties and Related Properties collectively, will be a Significant Obligor, Borrower shall furnish to Lender upon request the following financial information:

148







respect to the Properties 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 the Properties is the Significant Obligor and the Properties (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)).
(d)    Further, if requested by Lender, Borrower shall, promptly upon Lender’s request, furnish to Lender financial data or financial statements meeting the requirements of Item 1112(b)(1) or (2) of Regulation AB, as specified by Lender, for any Tenant of the Properties if, in connection with a Securitization, Lender reasonably determines there to be, as of the cutoff date for such Securitization, a concentration with respect to such Tenant or group of Affiliated Tenants within all of the mortgage loans included or expected to be included in the Securitization such that such Tenant or group of Affiliated Tenants would constitute a Significant Obligor. Borrower shall furnish to Lender, in connection with the preparation of the Disclosure Documents and on an ongoing basis, financial data and/or financial statements with respect to such Tenants meeting the requirements of Item 1112(b)(1) or (2) of Regulation AB, as specified by Lender, but only for so long as such entity or entities are a Significant Obligor and either (x) filings pursuant to the Exchange Act in connection with or relating to the Securitization (an “Exchange Act Filing”) are required to be made under applicable Legal Requirements or (y) comparable information is required to otherwise be “available” to holders of the Securities under Regulation AB or applicable Legal Requirements.
(e)    If Lender determines that Borrower alone or Borrower and one or more Affiliates of Borrower collectively, or the Properties alone or the Properties and Related Properties collectively, are a Significant Obligor, then Borrower shall furnish to Lender, on an ongoing basis, selected financial data or financial statements meeting the requirements of Item 1112(b)(1) or (2) of Regulation AB, as specified by Lender, but only for so long as such entity or entities are a Significant Obligor and either (x) Exchange Act Filings are required to be made under applicable Legal Requirements or (y) comparable information is required to otherwise be “available” to holders of the Securities under Regulation AB or applicable Legal Requirements.
(f)    If reasonably requested by Lender, Borrower shall provide Lender, within a reasonable period of time following Lender’s request therefor, with any other or additional financial statements, or financial, statistical or operating information, as Lender shall reasonably determine to be required pursuant to Regulation S-K or Regulation S-X, as applicable, Regulation AB, or any amendment, modification or replacement thereto or other Legal Requirements relating to a Securitization or as shall otherwise be reasonably requested by Lender.
Section 9.2    Securitization Indemnification. 


149







(a)    Borrower understands that information provided to Lender by Borrower, the Guarantors and their respective agents, counsel and representatives may be included in preliminary and final disclosure documents in connection with any Secondary Market Transaction, including a Securitization, including an offering circular, a prospectus, prospectus supplement, private placement memorandum or other offering document (each, a “Disclosure Document”) and may also be included in filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), or the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), and may be made available to investors or prospective investors in the Securities, investment banking firms, NRSROs, accounting firms, law firms and other third-party advisory and service providers relating to any Secondary Market Transaction, including a Securitization.  Borrower also understands that the findings and conclusions of any third-party due diligence report obtained by Lender, Issuer or the Securitization placement agent or underwriter may be made publicly available if required, and in the manner prescribed, by Section 15E(s)(4)(A) of the Exchange Act and any rules promulgated thereunder.
(b)    Borrower hereby agrees to indemnify Lender (and for purposes of this Section 9.2, Lender shall include the initial lender, its successors and assigns, and their respective officers and directors) and each Person who controls Lender within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act (collectively, the “Lender Group”), the issuer of the Securities (the “Issuer” and for purposes of this Section 9.2, Issuer shall include its officers, director and each Person who controls the Issuer within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act), and any placement agent or underwriter with respect to the Securitization, each of their respective officers and directors and each Person who controls the placement agent or underwriter within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act (collectively, the “Underwriter Group”) for any losses, claims, damages or liabilities (collectively, the “Liabilities”) to which Lender, Lender Group, the Issuer or the Underwriter Group may become subject insofar as the Liabilities arise out of, or are based upon, (A) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of any material fact contained in the Covered Disclosure Information (defined below), (B) the omission or alleged omission to state in the Covered Disclosure Information a material fact required to be stated in such information or necessary in order to make the statements in such information, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, or (C) a breach of the representations and warranties made by any Loan Party in Section 3.1.24 of this Agreement (Full and Accurate Disclosure).  For purposes of the foregoing, the “Covered Disclosure Information” shall mean the information provided by or on behalf of Borrower relating to Borrower, Guarantors, Manager, Sponsor, the Properties and the Loan which is contained in the sections of the Disclosure Documents entitled as follows, or comparable sections thereto: “Summary of the Offering Circular,” “Risk Factors,” “Description of the Relevant Parties and the Manager,” “Description of the Properties”, “Description of the Management Agreement and the Assignment and Subordination of Management Agreement,” “Description of the Loan,” and “Certain Legal Aspects of the Loan”, which Disclosure Documents shall be delivered for review and comment by Borrower not less than five (5) Business Days prior to the date upon which Borrower is otherwise required to confirm such Disclosure Documents.  


150







Borrower also agrees to reimburse Lender, Lender Group, the Issuer and/or the Underwriter Group for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by Lender, Lender Group, the Issuer and/or the Underwriter Group in connection with investigating or defending the Liabilities. This indemnification provision will be in addition to any liability which Borrower may otherwise have.
(c)    In connection with any Exchange Act Filing or other reports containing comparable information that is required to be made “available” to holders of the Securities under Regulation AB or applicable Legal Requirements, Borrower agrees to (i) indemnify Lender, Lender Group, the Issuer and the Underwriter Group for Liabilities to which Lender, Lender Group, the Issuer and/or the Underwriter Group may become subject insofar as the Liabilities arise out of, or are based upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of any material fact in the Covered Disclosure Information, or the omission or alleged omission to state in the Covered Disclosure Information a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements in the Covered Disclosure Information, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, and (ii) reimburse Lender, Lender Group, the Issuer and/or the Underwriter Group for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by Lender, Lender Group, the Issuer and/or the Underwriter Group in connection with defending or investigating the Liabilities.
(d)    Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party under this Section 9.2 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 9.2, 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 under Section 9.2(b) or (c) 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 pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence of this Section 9.2(d), such indemnifying 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 


151







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, and such settlement requires no statement as to, or an admission of, fault, culpability or a failure to act, by or on behalf of the indemnified party.
(e)    In order to provide for just and equitable contribution in circumstances in which the indemnity agreement provided for in Section 9.2(b) or (c) 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 9.2(b) or (c), 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.
(f)    The liabilities and obligations of both Borrower and Lender under this Section 9.2 shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the satisfaction and discharge of the Debt.
Section 9.3    Severance.
9.3.1    Severance Documentation.  Lender, without in any way limiting Lender’s other rights hereunder, in its sole and absolute discretion, shall have the right, at any time (whether prior to or after any sale, participation or other Secondary Market Transaction with respect to all or any portion of the Loan), to require Borrower (at Lender’s expense) to execute and deliver “component” notes (including certificating existing uncertificated “component” notes) and/or modify the Loan or the existing “component note” structure in order to create one or more senior and subordinate notes (i.e., an A/B or A/B/C structure) and/or one or more additional components of the Note or Notes), or make any other change to the Loan, the Note or Components including but not limited to:  reducing the number of Components of the Note or Notes, revising the interest rate for each Component, reallocating the principal balances of the Notes and/or the Components, increasing or decreasing the 


152







monthly debt service payments for each Component or eliminating the Component structure and/or the multiple note structure of the Loan (including the elimination of the related allocations of principal and interest payments); provided that (A) the outstanding principal balance of all Components in the aggregate immediately after the effective date of such modification equals the outstanding principal balance immediately prior to such modification, (B) the initial weighted average of the interest rates for all Components in the aggregate immediately after the effective date of such modification equals the weighted average interest rate of the original Components immediately prior to such modification, (C) no principal amortization of the Loan (or any Components thereof) shall be required (other than repayment in full on the Maturity Date), (D) there shall be no change to any Stated Maturity Date and (E) Borrower and Guarantors shall not be required to amend any Loan Documents that would otherwise increase the obligations or reduce the rights of Borrower or Guarantors under the Loan Documents.  At Lender’s election, each note comprising the Loan may be subject to one or more Secondary Market Transactions.  Lender shall have the right to modify the Note and/or Notes and any Components in accordance with this Section 9.3 and, provided that such modification shall comply with the terms of this Section 9.3, it shall become immediately effective. 
9.3.2    Cooperation; Execution; Delivery.  Borrower shall reasonably cooperate with all reasonable requests of Lender in connection with this Section 9.3.  If requested by Lender, Borrower shall promptly execute and deliver such documents as shall be required by Lender and any Rating Agency in connection with any modification pursuant to this Section 9.3, all in form and substance satisfactory to Lender and satisfactory to any applicable Rating Agency.  It shall be an Event of Default under this Agreement, the Note, and the other Loan Documents if Borrower fails to comply with any of the terms, covenants or conditions of this Section 9.3 after expiration of ten (10) Business Days after notice thereof.
ARTICLE 10


MISCELLANEOUS
Section 10.1    Survival; Successors and Assigns.  This Agreement and all covenants, agreements, representations and warranties made herein and in the certificates delivered pursuant hereto shall survive the making by Lender of the Loan and the execution and delivery to Lender of the Note, and shall continue in full force and effect so long as all or any of the Obligations are outstanding and unpaid unless a longer period is expressly set forth herein or in the other Loan Documents. Whenever in this Agreement any of the parties hereto is referred to, such reference shall be deemed to include the legal representatives, successors and assigns of such party.  All covenants, promises and agreements in this Agreement, by or on behalf of Borrower and the other Loan Parties, shall inure to the benefit of the legal representatives, successors and assigns of Lender.
Section 10.2    Lender’s Discretion; Rating Agency Review Waiver.  


153







(a)    Whenever pursuant to this Agreement Lender exercises any right given to it to approve or disapprove any matter, or any arrangement or term is to be satisfactory to Lender, the decision of Lender to approve or disapprove such matter or to decide whether arrangements or terms are satisfactory or not satisfactory shall (except as is otherwise specifically herein provided) be in the sole discretion of Lender and shall be final and conclusive.  Prior to a Securitization, whenever pursuant to this Agreement the Rating Agencies are given any right to approve or disapprove any matter, or any arrangement or term is to be satisfactory to the Rating Agencies, the decision of Lender to approve or disapprove such matter or to decide whether arrangements or terms are satisfactory or not satisfactory, based upon Lender’s determination of Rating Agency criteria, shall be substituted therefor.
(b)    Whenever, pursuant to this Agreement or any other Loan Documents, a Rating Agency Confirmation is required from each applicable Rating Agency, in the event that any applicable Rating Agency “declines review”, “waives review” or otherwise indicates to Lender’s or Servicer’s satisfaction that no Rating Agency Confirmation will or needs to be issued with respect to the matter in question (each, a “Review Waiver”), then the requirement to obtain a Rating Agency Confirmation from such Rating Agency shall not apply with respect to such matter; provided, however, if a Review Waiver occurs with respect to a Rating Agency and Lender does not have a separate and independent approval right with respect to the matter in question, then such matter shall require the written reasonable approval of Lender.  It is expressly agreed and understood, however, that receipt of a Review Waiver (i) from any one Rating Agency shall not be binding or apply with respect to any other Rating Agency and (ii) with respect to one matter shall not apply or be deemed to apply to any subsequent matter for which Rating Agency Confirmation is required.

Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, no notice to, or demand on, any Loan Party shall entitle any Loan Party to any other or future notice or demand in the same, similar or other circumstances.  Neither any failure nor any delay on the part of Lender in insisting upon strict performance of any term, condition, covenant or agreement, or exercising any right, power, remedy or privilege hereunder or under any other Loan Document, shall operate as or constitute a waiver thereof, nor shall a single or partial exercise thereof preclude any other future exercise, or the exercise of any other right, power, remedy or privilege.  In particular, and not by way of limitation, by accepting payment after the due date of any amount payable under this Agreement or any other Loan Document, Lender shall not be deemed to have waived any right either to require prompt payment when due of all other amounts due under this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, or to declare a default for failure to effect prompt payment of any such other amount.

BORROWER AND LENDER EACH HEREBY AGREES NOT TO ELECT A TRIAL BY JURY OF ANY ISSUE TRIABLE OF RIGHT BY JURY, AND WAIVES 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.

EACH PARTY IS HEREBY AUTHORIZED TO FILE A COPY OF THIS PARAGRAPH IN ANY PROCEEDING AS CONCLUSIVE EVIDENCE OF THIS WAIVER.
Section 10.7    Headings, Schedules and Exhibits.  The Article and/or Section headings and the Table of Contents in this Agreement are included herein for convenience of reference only and shall not constitute a part of this Agreement for any other purpose.  The Schedules and Exhibits annexed hereto are hereby incorporated herein as a part of this Agreement with the same effect as if set forth in the body hereof.
Section 10.8    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.
Section 10.9    Preferences.  Lender shall have the continuing and exclusive right to apply or reverse and reapply any and all payments by Borrower to any portion of the Obligations of Borrower hereunder.  To the extent Borrower makes a payment or payments to Lender, which payment or proceeds or any part 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 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.
Section 10.10    Waiver of Notice.  Borrower shall not be entitled to any notices of any nature whatsoever from Lender except with respect to matters for which this Agreement or the other Loan Documents specifically and expressly provide for the giving of notice by Lender to Borrower and except with respect to matters for which Borrower is not, pursuant to applicable Legal Requirements, permitted to waive the giving of notice.  Borrower hereby expressly waives the right to receive any notice from Lender with respect to any matter for which this Agreement or the other Loan Documents 


158







do not specifically and expressly provide for the giving of notice by Lender to Borrower.  Except as specifically and expressly provided for in the Loan Documents, Guarantors shall not be entitled to any notices of any nature whatsoever from Lender under this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, and each Guarantor hereby expressly waives the right to receive any notice from Lender with respect to any matter for which this Agreement or the other Loan Documents do not specifically and expressly provide for the giving of notice by Lender to such Guarantor.

In the event that a claim or adjudication is made that Lender or its agents have acted unreasonably or unreasonably delayed acting in any case where, by law or under this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, Lender or such agent, as the case may be, has an obligation to act reasonably or promptly, neither Lender nor its agents shall be liable for any monetary damages and Borrower’s sole remedy shall be limited to commencing 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.

Section 10.13    No Joint Venture or Partnership; No Third Party Beneficiaries.
(a)    Borrower and Lender intend that the relationships created hereunder and under the other Loan Documents be solely that of borrower and lender.

(b)    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.

Without limiting any of the other provisions contained herein, Borrower hereby unconditionally and irrevocably waives, to the maximum extent not prohibited by applicable law, any rights it may have to claim or recover against Lender in any legal action or proceeding any special, exemplary, punitive or consequential damages.

Borrower acknowledges that, with respect to the Loan, Borrower shall rely solely on its own judgment and advisors in entering into the Loan, without relying in any manner on any statements, representations or recommendations of Lender or any parent, subsidiary or affiliate of Lender.  Lender shall not be subject to any limitation whatsoever in the exercise of any rights or remedies available to it under any of the Loan Documents or any other agreements or instruments which govern the Loan by virtue of the ownership by it or any parent, subsidiary or affiliate of Lender of any equity interest any of them may acquire in Borrower, and Borrower hereby irrevocably waives the right to raise any defense or take any action on the basis of the foregoing with respect to Lender’s exercise of any such rights or remedies.  Borrower acknowledges that Lender engages in the business of real estate financings and other real estate transactions and investments which may be viewed as adverse to or competitive with the business of Borrower or its Affiliates.

At the option of Lender, the Loan may be serviced by a servicer or special servicer (the “Servicer”) selected by Lender and Lender may delegate all or any portion of its responsibilities under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents to the Servicer pursuant to the trust and servicing agreement or pooling and servicing agreement (the “Servicing Agreement”) governing the Securitization.  Borrower shall not be responsible for any set-up fees or any other initial costs relating to or arising under the Servicing Agreement.  Borrower shall not be responsible for payment of the monthly master servicing fee due to the Servicer under the Servicing Agreement.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, Borrower shall pay all Trust Fund Expenses.  For the avoidance of doubt, this Section 10.20 shall not be deemed to limit Borrower’s obligations under Section 4.1.20.

Section 10.23    Assignments and Participations.  In addition to the right to securitize the Loan under Section 9.1, to sever the interests in the Loan into “component” notes under Section 9.3 and any other rights of Lender hereunder, the Loan, the Note, the Loan Documents and/or Lender’s rights, title, obligations and interests therein may be sold, assigned, participated or otherwise transferred by Lender and any of its successors and assigns to any Person at any time in its sole and absolute discretion, in whole or in part, whether by operation of law (pursuant to a merger or other successor in interest) or otherwise without notice to or consent from Borrower or any other Person.  Upon such assignment, all references to Lender in this Agreement and in any 


161







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 in all respects (subject to the requirements and limitations therein, including the requirements under Section 2.10.6).  Borrower agrees that each beneficial owner of the Securities or component notes issued pursuant to Sections 9.1 and 9.3 shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.9 and 2.10 (subject to the requirements and limitations therein, including the requirements under Section 2.10.6).  Each participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.9 and 2.10 (subject to the requirements and limitations therein, including the requirements under Section 2.10.6, it being understood that the documentation required under Section 2.10.6 shall be delivered to the participating Lender) to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment; provided that such participant shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment pursuant to Sections 2.9 or Section 2.10 than its participating Lender would have been entitled to receive, except to the extent such entitlement to receive a greater payment results from a change in law that occurs after the participant acquired the applicable participation.
Section 10.24    Register and Participant Register. Lender or its designee (the “Registrar”), as a non-fiduciary agent of Borrower, shall maintain a record that identifies each owner (including successors and assignees) of an interest in the Loan, any Securities or any component notes, including the name and address of the owner, and each owner’s rights to principal and stated interest (the “Register”), and shall record all transfers of an interest in the Loan, any Securities or any component notes, including each assignment, in the Register.  Transfers of interests in the Loan (including assignments), any Securities or any component notes shall be subject to the applicable conditions set forth in the Loan Documents with respect thereto and the Registrar will update the Register to reflect the transfer.  The Register shall be available for inspection by Borrower, at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.  No assignment shall be effective for purposes of this Agreement unless it has been recorded in the Register as provided in this paragraph.   Furthermore, each Lender that sells a participation shall, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of Borrower, maintain a register on which it enters the name and address of each participant and the principal amounts and stated interest of each participant’s interest in the Loan or other obligations under the Loan Documents (the “Participant Register”); provided that no Lender shall have any obligation to disclose all or any portion of the Participant Register to any Person (including the identity of any participant or any information relating to a participant’s interest) except to the extent that such disclosure is necessary to establish that such Loan or other obligation is in registered form under Section 5f.103-1(c) of the U.S. Department of Treasury regulations. The entries in the Register and Participant Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error.  Borrower, Lender and any of its successors and assigns, and the Registrar shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement and the participating Lender shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Participant Register pursuant to the terms hereof as the owner of such participation for all purposes of this Agreement.  Failure to make any such recordation, or any error in such recordation, however, shall not affect Borrower’s obligations in respect of the Loan.

Section 10.26    Set-Off.  In addition to any rights and remedies of Lender provided by this Agreement and by law, Lender shall have the right in its sole discretion, without prior notice to Borrower, any such notice being expressly waived by Borrower to the extent permitted by applicable law, upon any amount becoming due and payable by Borrower hereunder (whether at the stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise), to set-off and appropriate and apply against such amount any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final), in any currency, and any other credits, indebtedness or claims, in any currency, in each case whether direct or indirect, absolute or contingent, matured or unmatured, at any time held or owing by Lender or any Affiliate thereof to or for the credit or the account of Borrower; provided however, Lender may only exercise such right during the continuance of an Event of Default.  Lender agrees promptly to notify Borrower after any such set-off and application made by Lender; provided that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such set-off and application.
Section 10.27    Cross-Default; Cross-Collateralization; Waiver of Marshalling of Assets.
(a)    Borrower acknowledge that Lender has made the Loan to Borrower upon, among other things, the security of its collective interest in the Properties and in reliance upon the aggregate of the Properties taken together being of greater value as collateral security than the sum of each Property taken separately.  Borrower agrees that the Mortgages are and will be cross-collateralized and cross-defaulted with each other so that (i) an Event of Default under any of the Mortgages shall constitute an Event of Default under each of the other Mortgages which secure the Note; (ii) an Event of Default under the Note or this Agreement shall constitute an Event of Default under each Mortgage; (iii) each Mortgage shall constitute security for the Note as if a single blanket lien were placed on all of the Properties as security for the Note; and (iv) such cross-collateralization shall in no event be deemed to constitute a fraudulent conveyance.
(b)    To the fullest extent permitted by law, Borrower for itself and its successors and assigns, waives all rights to a marshalling of the assets of Borrower, Borrower’s partners or members and of the Properties, or to a sale in inverse order of alienation in the event of foreclosure of all or any of the Mortgages, and agrees not to assert any right under any laws pertaining to the marshalling of assets, the sale in inverse order of alienation, homestead exemption, the administration of estates of decedents, or any other matters whatsoever to defeat, reduce or affect the right of Lender under the Loan Documents to a sale of the Properties for the collection of the Debt without any prior or different resort for collection or of the right of Lender to the payment of the Debt out of the net proceeds of the Properties in preference to every other claimant whatsoever.  In addition, Borrower, for itself and its successors and assigns, waives in the event of foreclosure of any or all of the Mortgages, any equitable right otherwise available to Borrower which would require the separate sale of the Properties or require Lender to exhaust its remedies against any Property or any combination of the Properties before proceeding against any other Property or combination of Properties; and further in the event of such foreclosure Borrower does hereby expressly consents to and authorizes, at the option of Lender, the foreclosure and sale either separately or together of any combination of the Properties


163







Section 10.28    Certificated Interests.
(a)    If any ownership interest in an Equity Interest is represented by a certificate  (each, an “Equity Certificate”) that has been pledged and delivered to Lender and such Equity Certificate is lost, stolen or destroyed, then, upon the written request of Lender to the applicable Loan Party, such Loan Party shall issue to Lender a new Equity Certificate in place of the Equity Certificate that was lost, stolen or destroyed, provided such Lender: (i) makes proof by written, notarized affidavit, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the applicable Loan Party that such previously issued Equity Certificate has been lost, stolen or destroyed and has not been assigned, endorsed, transferred or hypothecated, (ii) delivers a written indemnity (in form and substance and from an indemnitor reasonably satisfactory to the applicable Loan Party) to the extent required by any title company proposing to provide title insurance with respect to such Equity Certificate and (iii) requests the issuance of a new Equity Certificate before the Loan party has notice that such previously issued Equity Certificate has been acquired by a purchaser for value in good faith and without notice of an adverse claim.
(b)    Upon repayment in full of the Loan, in the event Lender fails to return to a Loan Party an Equity Certificate previously delivered by such Loan Party to Lender in connection with the Loan, Lender shall deliver to the applicable Loan Party, within ten (10) days of such Loan Party’s demand, (i) a written, notarized affidavit, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the applicable Loan Party that such previously issued Equity Certificate has been lost, stolen or destroyed and has not been assigned, endorsed, transferred or hypothecated and (ii) a written indemnity (in form and substance and from an indemnitor reasonably satisfactory to the applicable Loan Party) to the extent required by any title company proposing to provide title insurance with respect to such Equity Certificate.
Section 10.29    Exculpation of Lender.

Borrower agrees that neither it nor Sponsor nor any of their respective affiliates shall make, and hereby waives, any claim against the Lending Parties based on an assertion that any Lending Party has rendered advisory services of any nature or respect, or owes a fiduciary or similar duty to Borrower, Sponsor or their respective affiliates, stockholders, employees or creditors.  Nothing in this Agreement or the other Loan Documents is intended to confer upon any other Person (including affiliates, stockholders, employees or creditors of Borrower and Sponsor) any rights or remedies by reason of any fiduciary or similar duty.

The Transaction may have a direct or indirect impact on the investments, securities or instruments referred to in this Section 10.30(c).  Although the Lending Parties in the 


165







course of such other activities and relationships may acquire information about the Transaction or other Persons that may be the subject of the Transaction, the Lending Parties shall have no obligation to disclose such information, or the fact that the Lending Parties are in possession of such information, to Borrower, Sponsor or any of their respective affiliates or to use such information on behalf of Borrower, Sponsor or any of their respective affiliates.
(d)    Borrower acknowledges and agrees that Borrower has consulted its own legal and financial advisors to the extent it deemed appropriate and that it is responsible for making its own independent judgment with respect to this Agreement, the other Loan Documents, the Transaction and the process leading thereto.

(b)    Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, Borrower hereby agrees, to the fullest extent permitted by law that Lender may determine to proceed against any collateral securing any of the Obligations by way of judicial or non-judicial foreclosure or any other lawful remedy for the enforcement of its rights, and the obligations of Borrower under this Agreement shall survive Lender’s exercise of any such right or remedy.  Borrower understands that Lender’s exercise of its rights and remedies including a non-judicial foreclosure of a deed of trust encumbering Property in Washington State could impair, eliminate or destroy subrogation, reimbursement, contribution, indemnification and other rights Borrower may have against others for amounts paid by such them under the Loan Documents.  Nevertheless, Borrower hereby waives and relinquishes any claim or defense based upon the loss of any such rights, election of remedies, discharge and satisfaction of the Obligations and, to the fullest extent permitted by Washington State law following a non-judicial foreclosure of any deed of trust encumbering Property in Washington State, any other claim or defense which may arise under applicable Washington State law.
