7


13.           MISCELLANEOUS.





13.1.           Disclosure of Financial Information.  Bank is hereby authorized to disclose any financial or other information about Borrower to any regulatory body or agency having jurisdiction over Bank and to any present, future or prospective participant or successor in interest in any loan or other financial accommodation made by Bank to Borrower.  The information provided may include, without limitation, amounts, terms, balances, payment history, return item history and any financial or other information about Borrower.





13.2.           Integration.  This Note and the other Loan Documents constitute the sole agreement of the parties with respect to the transaction contemplated hereby and supersede all oral negotiations and prior writings with respect thereto.





13.3.           Attorneys' Fees and Expenses.  If Bank retains the services of counsel by reason of an Event of Default hereunder or under any of the other Loan Documents, or on account of any matter involving this Note, or for examination of matters subject to Bank's approval under the Loan Documents, all costs of suit and all reasonable attorneys' fees and such other reasonable expenses so incurred by Bank shall be paid by Borrower, on demand, and shall be deemed part of the obligations evidenced hereby.





13.4.           No Implied Waiver.  Bank shall not be deemed to have modified or waived any of its rights or remedies hereunder unless such modification or waiver is in writing and signed by Bank, and then only to the extent specifically set forth therein.  A waiver in one event shall not be construed as continuing or as a waiver of or bar to such right or remedy in a subsequent event.  After any acceleration of, or the entry of any judgment on, this Note, the acceptance by Bank of any payments by or on behalf of Borrower on account of the indebtedness evidenced by this Note shall not cure or be deemed to cure any Event of Default or reinstate or be deemed to reinstate the terms of this Note absent an express written agreement duly executed by Bank and Borrower.





13.5.           Waiver.  Borrower, jointly and severally, waives demand, notice, presentment, protest, demand for payment, notice of dishonor, notice of protest and diligence of collection of this Note.  Borrower consents to any and all extensions of time, renewals, waivers, or modifications that may be granted by Bank with respect to the payment or other provisions of this Note, and to the release of any collateral, with or without substitution.  Borrower agrees that makers, endorsers, guarantors and sureties may be added or released without notice and without affecting Borrower's liability hereunder.  The liability of Borrower shall not be affected by the failure of Bank to perfect or otherwise obtain or maintain the priority or validity of any security interest in any collateral.  The liability of Borrower shall be absolute and unconditional and without regard to the liability of any other party hereto.





8


13.6.           No Usurious Amounts.  Anything herein contained to the contrary notwithstanding, it is the intent of the parties that Borrower shall not be obligated to pay interest hereunder at a rate which is in excess of the maximum rate permitted by law.  If by the terms of this Note, Borrower is at any time required to pay interest at a rate in excess of such maximum rate, the rate of interest under this Note shall be deemed to be immediately reduced to such maximum legal rate and the portion of all prior interest payments in excess of such maximum legal rate shall be applied to and shall be deemed to have been payments in reduction of the outstanding principal balance, unless Borrower shall notify Bank, in writing, that Borrower elects to have such excess sum returned to it forthwith.  Borrower agrees that in determining whether or not any interest payable under this Note exceeds the highest rate permitted by law, any non-principal payment, including without limitation, late charges, shall be deemed to the extent permitted by law to be an expense, fee or premium rather than interest.  In addition, Bank may, in determining the maximum rate of interest allowed under applicable law, as amended from time to time, take advantage of: (i) the rate of interest permitted by Section 687.12 Florida Statues (“Interest rates; parity among licensed lenders or creditors”) and 12 United States Code, Sections 85 and 86, and (ii) any other law, rule or regulation in effect from time to time, available to Bank which exempts Bank from any limit upon the rate of interest it may charge or grants to Bank the right to charge a higher rate of interest than allowed by Florida Statutes, Chapter 687.





13.7.           Partial Invalidity.  The invalidity or unenforceability of any one or more provisions of this Note shall not render any other provision invalid or unenforceable.  In lieu of any invalid or unenforceable provision, there shall be added automatically a valid and enforceable provision as similar in terms to such invalid or unenforceable provision as may be possible.





13.8.           Binding Effect.  The covenants, conditions, waivers, releases and agreements contained in this Note shall bind, and the benefits thereof shall inure to, the parties hereto and their respective heirs, executors, administrators, successors and assigns; provided, however, that this Note cannot be assigned by Borrower without the prior written consent of Bank, and any such assignment or attempted assignment by Borrower shall be void and of no effect with respect to Bank.





13.9.           Modifications.  This Note may not be supplemented, extended, modified or terminated except by an agreement in writing signed by the party against whom enforcement of any such waiver, change, modification or discharge is sought.





13.10.           Sales or Participations.  Bank may from time to time sell or assign, in whole or in part, or grant participations in, the Loan, this Note and/or the obligations evidenced thereby.  The holder of any such sale, assignment or participation, if the applicable agreement between Bank and such holder so provides, shall be: (a) entitled to all of the rights, obligations and benefits of Bank; and (b) deemed to hold and may exercise the rights of setoff or banker's lien with respect to any and all obligations of such holder to Borrower, in each case as fully as though Borrower were directly indebted to such holder.  Bank may in its discretion give notice to Borrower of such sale, assignment or participation; however, the failure to give such notice shall not affect any of Bank's or such holder's rights hereunder.


9


13.11.           Jurisdiction.  Borrower irrevocably appoints each and every owner, partner and/or officer of Borrower as its attorneys upon whom may be served, by certified mail at the address set forth below, any notice, process or pleading in any action or proceeding against it arising out of or in connection with this Note or any other Loan Document; and Borrower hereby consents that any action or proceeding against it be commenced and maintained in any court in Miami-Dade County, Florida by service of process on any such owner, partner and/or officer; and Borrower agrees that the courts in Miami-Dade County, Florida shall have jurisdiction with respect to the subject matter hereof and the person of Borrower and all collateral securing the obligations of Borrower.  Borrower agrees not to assert any defense to any action or proceeding initiated by Bank based upon improper venue or inconvenient forum.





13.12.           Notices.  All notices and communications under this Note shall be in writing and shall be given by either (a) hand-delivery, (b) first class mail (postage prepaid), or (c) reliable overnight commercial courier (charges prepaid), to the addresses listed in the Mortgage.  Notice shall be deemed to have been given and received: (i) if by hand delivery, upon delivery; (ii) if by mail, three (3) calendar days after the date first deposited in the United States mail; and (iii) if by overnight courier, on the date scheduled for delivery.  A party may change its address by giving written notice to the other party as specified herein.





13.13.           Governing Law.  This Note shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the substantive laws of the State of Florida without reference to conflict of laws principles.





13.14.           Joint and Several Liability.  If Borrower consists of more than one person or entity, the word "Borrower" shall mean each of them and their liability shall be joint and several.





13.15.           Continuing Enforcement.  If, after receipt of any payment of all or any part of this Note, Bank is compelled or agrees, for settlement purposes, to surrender such payment to any person or entity for any reason (including, without limitation, a determination that such payment is void or voidable as a preference or fraudulent conveyance, an impermissible setoff, or a diversion of trust funds), then this Note and the other Loan Documents shall continue in full force and effect or be reinstated, as the case may be, and Borrower shall be liable for, and shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless Bank with respect to, the full amount so surrendered.  The provisions of this Section shall survive the cancellation or termination of this Note and shall remain effective notwithstanding the payment of the obligations evidenced hereby, the release of any security interest, lien or encumbrance securing this Note or any other action which Bank may have taken in reliance upon its receipt of such payment.  Any cancellation, release or other such action shall be deemed to have been conditioned upon any payment of the obligations evidenced hereby having become final and irrevocable.





10


13.16.           Waiver of Jury Trial.  BORROWER AND BANK AGREE THAT, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY SUIT, ACTION OR PROCEEDING, WHETHER CLAIM OR COUNTERCLAIM, BROUGHT BY BANK OR BORROWER, ON OR WITH RESPECT TO THIS NOTE OR ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT OR THE DEALINGS OF THE PARTIES WITH RESPECT HERETO OR THERETO, SHALL BE TRIED ONLY BY A COURT AND NOT BY A JURY.  BANK AND BORROWER EACH HEREBY KNOWINGLY, VOLUNTARILY, INTENTIONALLY AND INTELLIGENTLY AND WITH THE ADVICE OF THEIR RESPECTIVE COUNSEL, WAIVE, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY SUCH SUIT, ACTION OR PROCEEDING.  FURTHER, BORROWER WAIVES ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO CLAIM OR RECOVER, IN ANY SUCH SUIT, ACTION OR PROCEEDING, ANY SPECIAL, EXEMPLARY, PUNITIVE, CONSEQUENTIAL OR OTHER DAMAGES OTHER THAN, OR IN ADDITION TO, ACTUAL DAMAGES.  BORROWER ACKNOWLEDGES AND AGREES THAT THIS SECTION IS A SPECIFIC AND MATERIAL ASPECT OF THIS NOTE AND THAT BANK WOULD NOT EXTEND CREDIT TO BORROWER IF THE WAIVERS SET FORTH IN THIS SECTION WERE NOT A PART OF THIS NOTE.





14.           Default by Existing Guarantor.  So long as neither the Borrower nor the Sonesta Guarantor are in default of any of the covenants, conditions or provisions of the Loan Documents beyond any applicable cure period, the Bank will not exercise its right to accelerate the Loan solely on the account of a default by the Existing Guarantor.




15.           Amended And Restated Note.




This Note amends, replaces and supersedes an Amended and Restated Promissory Note executed as of October 30, 2008 by Mutiny on the Park, Ltd. in favor of Bank in the stated principal amount of $8,000,000.00 (the "Prior Note"), as assumed by Borrower pursuant to that certain Assignment and Assumption Agreement and Modification of Mortgage and Other Loan Documents, which Prior Note has a current outstanding principal balance of $6,500,000.00 as of the date hereof. It is the intention of the Borrower and Bank that while this Note amends, replaces and supersedes the Prior Note, it is not in payment or satisfaction of the Prior Note, but rather is the substitution of one evidence of debt for another without any intent to extinguish the old.  Should there be any conflict between any of the terms of the Prior Note and the terms of this Note, the terms of this Note shall control.  The original Prior Note is attached hereto and shall only be negotiated with this Note.
