(a)    Prior to the Maturity Date, during the period Loan is accruing interest at the Applicable LIBO Rate, interest shall accrue on the Principal Amount (subject to the provisions of Sections 2.2.3, 2.2.4 and 2.2.10 below) during each Interest Period during the term of the Loan, at a per annum rate equal to the Applicable LIBO Rate for the then‐current Interest Period.  
(b)    Prior to the Maturity Date, during the period Loan is accruing interest at the Applicable Base Rate, interest shall accrue on the Principal Amount at the Applicable Base Rate as set forth on an interest billing statement delivered by the Administrative Agent to the Borrower 
(c)     From and after the Maturity Date or from and after the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, interest shall accrue on the Principal Amount at the Default Rate.
(d)    Except as expressly set forth in this Agreement to the contrary, interest shall accrue on all amounts advanced by Lenders pursuant to the Loan Documents (other than the Principal Amount, which shall accrue interest in accordance with clauses a. and b. above) at the Default Rate.

32




 


(e)     The provisions of this Section 2.2.1 are subject in all events to the provisions of Section 2.2.4 of this Agreement.
2.2.2    Payment of Interest.  Interest accrued on the Loan shall be paid by Borrower monthly, in arrears, on each Payment Date (provided that on the first Payment Date, interest accrued on the Loan for June 30, 2014 shall also be paid), as set forth on an interest billing statement delivered by the Administrative Agent to the Borrower (which delivery may be by facsimile or email transmission). All payments made by Borrower hereunder or under any of the Loan Documents shall be made on or before 11:00 a.m. New York City time.  Any payments received after such time shall be credited to the next following Business Day. If any interest payment due under the Loan Documents is not paid by Borrower within three (3) days after the date on which it is due (or, if such third (3rd) day is not a Business Day, then the Business Day immediately preceding such day), Borrower shall pay to Lender upon demand an amount equal to the lesser of three percent (3%) of such unpaid sum or the Maximum Legal Rate (the Late Payment Charge) in order to defray the expense incurred by Lenders and Administrative Agent in handling and processing such delinquent payment and to compensate Lenders for the loss of the use of such delinquent payment.  Any such amount shall be secured by this Agreement, the Security Instrument and the other Loan Documents to the extent permitted by applicable law.  Borrower acknowledges and agrees that the three day grace period with respect to the applicability of the Late Payment Charge (i) shall only apply to Borrower's first failure to make a monthly interest payment in any calendar year, (ii) shall not apply to Borrower's failure to repay the Maturity Date Payment and (iii) shall not constitute a payment grace period and shall in no way limit Lender's rights under Article XVII.
2.2.3    Inability to Determine Rate.  In the event that the Administrative Agent shall have reasonably determined (which determination shall be conclusive and binding upon the Borrower) that by reason of circumstances affecting the interbank market, adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining the LIBO Rate for any Interest Period, the Administrative Agent shall forthwith give telephonic notice of such determination to each Lender and to the Borrower.  If such notice is given, the outstanding principal balance of the Loan shall bear interest during each day of any affected Interest Period at the Applicable Base Rate.  The Administrative Agent shall withdraw such notice in the event that the circumstances giving rise thereto no longer pertain and that adequate and reasonable means exist for ascertaining the LIBO Rate for the relevant Interest Period, and, following withdrawal of such notice by the Administrative Agent, the outstanding principal balance of the Loan shall bear interest at the Applicable LIBO Rate pursuant to Section 2.2.1(a)(ii) above.
2.2.4    Illegality.  Notwithstanding any other provisions herein, if any law, regulation, treaty or directive issued by any Governmental Authority or any change therein or in the interpretation or application thereof, shall make it unlawful for any Lender to maintain the Loan based on the LIBO Rate as contemplated by this Agreement, the Loan shall automatically bear interest at the Applicable Base Rate at the end of then-current Interest Period or within such earlier period as may be required by law.  In the event of a conversion to interest based on the Base Rate prior to the end of the then-current Interest Period, the Borrower hereby agrees promptly to pay any Lender affected thereby, upon demand, the amounts required pursuant to Section 2.2.8 below, it being agreed and understood that such conversion shall constitute a 

33




 


prepayment for all purposes hereof.  The provisions hereof shall survive the termination of this Agreement and payment of all other Obligations.
2.2.5    Funding.  Each Lender shall be entitled to fund all or any portion of its Percentage Share of the Loan in any manner it may determine in its sole discretion, including, without limitation, in the Grand Cayman inter-bank market, the London inter-bank market and within the United States, but all calculations and transactions hereunder shall be conducted as though all Lenders actually fund the Loan through the purchase of offshore dollar deposits in the amount of such Lender’s Percentage Share of the Loan with a maturity corresponding to the applicable Interest Period.
2.2.6    Requirements of Law; Increased Costs.
(i)    In the event that any applicable law, order, regulation, treaty or directive issued by any central bank or other governmental authority, agency or instrumentality or in the governmental or judicial interpretation or application thereof, or compliance by any Lender with any request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) issued by any central bank or other governmental authority, agency or instrumentality, in each case enacted after the date hereof (or any change enacted after the date hereof):
(A)    Does or shall subject any Lender to any Taxes of any kind whatsoever with respect to this Agreement or the Loan, or change the basis of determining the Taxes imposed on payments to such Lender of principal, fee, interest or any other amount payable hereunder (except for change in the rate of tax on the overall net income of such Lender);
(B)    Does or shall impose, modify or hold applicable any reserve, capital requirement, special deposit, compulsory loan or similar requirements against assets held by, or deposits or other liabilities in or for the account of, advances or loans by, or other credit extended by, or any other acquisition of funds by, any office of such Lender which are not otherwise included in the determination of interest payable on the Obligations; or
(C)    Does or shall impose on such Lender any other condition; and the result of any of the foregoing is to increase the cost to such Lender of making, renewing or maintaining its Percentage Share of the Loan or to reduce any amount receivable in respect thereof or the rate of return on the capital of such Lender or any corporation controlling such Lender, then, in any such case, the Borrower shall, without duplication of amounts payable pursuant to Section 2.2.9, promptly pay to such Lender, upon its written demand made through the Administrative Agent, any additional amounts necessary to compensate such Lender for such additional cost or reduced amounts receivable or rate of return as determined 

34




 


by such Lender with respect to this Agreement or such Lender’s Percentage Share of the Loan, so long as such Lender requires substantially all obligors under other commitments of this type made available by such Lender to similarly so compensate such Lender.
(ii)    If a Lender becomes entitled to claim any additional amounts pursuant to this Section 2.2.6, it shall promptly notify the Borrower of the event by reason of which it has become so entitled.  A certificate as to any additional amounts so claimed payable containing the calculation thereof in reasonable detail submitted by a Lender to the Borrower, accompanied by a certification that such Lender has required substantially all obligors under other commitments of this type made available by such Lender to similarly so compensate such Lender, shall constitute prima facie evidence thereof.
(iii)    Failure or delay on the part of any Lender to demand compensation pursuant to this Section 2.2.6 shall not constitute a waiver of such Lender’s right to demand such compensation; provided that the Borrower shall not be required to compensate or reimburse a Lender pursuant to this Article II for any increased costs or reductions in return in the event such Lender does not notify Borrower within three hundred and sixty-five (365) days of such Lender becoming aware of the circumstances; provided, further that if any of the circumstances giving rise to such increased costs or reductions in return are retroactive, then the three hundred and sixty-five (365) day period referred to in the preceding proviso shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect.  The provisions of this Section 2.2.6 shall survive the termination of this Agreement and payment of the Loan and all other Obligations.
2.2.7    Obligation of Lenders to Mitigate; Replacement of Lenders.  Each Lender agrees that:
(i)    As promptly as reasonably practicable after the officer of such Lender responsible for administering such Lender’s Percentage Share of the Loan becomes aware of any event or condition that would entitle such Lender to receive payments under Section 2.2.6 above or Section 2.2.9 below or to cease maintaining the Loan based on the LIBO Rate under Section 2.2.4 above, such Lender will use reasonable efforts (i) to maintain its Percentage Share of the Loan through another lending office of such Lender or (ii) take such other measures as such Lender may deem reasonable, if as a result thereof the additional amounts which would otherwise be required to be paid to such Lender pursuant to Section 2.2.6 above or pursuant to Section 2.2.9 below would be materially reduced or eliminated or the conditions rendering such Lender incapable of maintaining the Loan based on the LIBO Rate under Section 2.2.4 above no longer would be applicable, and if, as determined by such Lender in its sole discretion, the maintaining of such Lender’s Percentage Share of the Loan through such other lending office or in accordance with such other 

35




 


measures, as the case may be, would not otherwise materially adversely affect the Loan or the interests of such Lender.
(ii)    If the Borrower receives a notice pursuant to Section 2.2.6 above or pursuant to Section 2.2.9 below or a notice pursuant to Section 2.2.4 above stating that a Lender is unable to maintain the Loan based on the LIBO Rate (for reasons not generally applicable to the Required Lenders), so long as (i) no potential Default, Default, or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, (ii) the Borrower has obtained a commitment from another Lender or an Eligible Assignee to purchase at par such Lender’s Percentage Share of the Loan and accrued interest and fees and to assume all obligations of the Lender to be replaced under the Loan Documents and (iii) such Lender to be replaced is unwilling to withdraw the notice delivered to the Borrower, upon thirty (30) days’ prior written notice to such Lender and the Administrative Agent, the Borrower may require, at the Borrower’s expense, the Lender giving such notice to assign, without recourse, all of its Percentage Share of the Loan and accrued interest and fees to such other Lender or Eligible Assignee pursuant to the provisions of Section 15.1 below.
2.2.8    Funding Indemnification.  In addition to all other payment obligations hereunder, in the event the Loan is accruing interest at the Applicable LIBO Rate and is prepaid in full or in part prior to the last day of the applicable Interest Period, whether following a voluntary prepayment, a mandatory prepayment (other than a mandatory prepayment arising under Section 2.3.3(i) below when no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing) or otherwise, then the Borrower shall immediately pay to each Lender, through the Administrative Agent, an additional premium sum compensating such Lender for losses, costs and expenses incurred by such Lender in connection with such prepayment.  The loss to any Lender attributable to any such prepayment shall be deemed to include an amount determined by such Lender to be equal to the excess, if any, of (i) the amount of interest that such Lender would have accrued on the principal amount so prepaid (the Incremental Payment) from the date of such payment to the last day of the then-current Interest Period if the interest rate payable on such deposit were equal to the Reserve Adjusted LIBO Rate for such Interest Period, over (ii) the amount of interest that such Lender would earn for such period on an amount equal to the Incremental Payment if such Lender were to invest such amount for such period at the interest rate that would be bid by such Lender (or an affiliate of such Lender) for dollar deposits from other banks in the eurodollar market at the commencement of such period..  A determination of any Lender as to the amounts payable pursuant to this Section 2.2.8 shall be conclusive absent manifest error.
2.2.9    Taxes.  
(i)    Any and all payments by or on account of any obligation of the Borrower hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall be made free and clear of and without deduction for any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes; provided that if the Borrower shall be required to deduct any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes from such payments, then (i) the sum payable shall be increased as necessary so that after making all required 

36




 


deductions (including deductions applicable to additional sums payable under this Section 2.9) the Administrative Agent or Lender (as the case may be) receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions been made, (ii) the Borrower shall make such deductions and (iii) the Borrower shall pay the full amount deducted to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law.
(ii)    In addition, the Borrower shall pay any Other Taxes to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law.
(iii)    The Borrower shall indemnify the Administrative Agent and each Lender, within ten (10) Business Days after written demand therefor, for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes (including Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section 2.2.9) paid by the Administrative Agent or such Lender, as the case may be, and any penalties, interest (except to the extent such penalties and/or interest arise as a result of a Lender’s delay in dealing with any such Indemnified Tax) and reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority.  A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to the Borrower by a Lender or by the Administrative Agent on its own behalf or on behalf of a Lender, shall be conclusive absent manifest error.
(iv)    As soon as practicable after any payment of Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes by the Borrower to a Governmental Authority, the Borrower shall deliver to the Administrative Agent the original or a certified copy of a receipt issued by such Governmental Authority evidencing such payment, a copy of the return reporting such payment or other evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent.
(v)    Each Foreign Lender shall deliver to the Borrower (with copies to the Administrative Agent) on or before the date hereof (or in the case of a Foreign Lender who became a Lender by way of an assignment, on or before the date of the assignment) or at least five (5) Business Days prior to the first date for any payment herewith to such Lender, and from time to time as required for renewal under applicable law, such certificates, documents or other evidence, as required by the Code or Treasury Regulations issued pursuant thereto, including, without limitation, Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN or W-ECI, as appropriate, and any other certificate or statement of exemption required by Section 871(h) or Section 881(c) of the Code or any subsequent version thereof, properly completed and duly executed by such Lender establishing that payments to such Lender hereunder are not subject to withholding or are subject to a reduced rate of withholding under the Code or applicable tax treaty (Evidence of No Withholding).  Each Foreign Lender shall promptly notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent of any change in its 

37




 


applicable lending office and upon written request of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent shall, prior to the immediately following due date of any payment by the Borrower hereunder or under any other Loan Document, deliver Evidence of No Withholding to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent.  The Borrower shall be entitled to rely on such forms in their possession until receipt of any revised or successor form pursuant to this Section 2.2.9(v).  If a Lender fails to provide Evidence of No Withholding as required pursuant to this Section 2.2.9(v), then (i) the Borrower (or the Administrative Agent) shall be entitled to deduct or withhold from payments to Administrative Agent or such Lender as a result of such failure, as required by law, and (ii) the Borrower shall not be required to make payments of additional amounts with respect to such withheld Taxes pursuant to Section 2.2.9(i) to the extent such withholding is required solely by reason of the failure of such Lender to provide the necessary Evidence of No Withholding.  A Foreign Lender shall not be required to deliver any form or statement pursuant to Section 2.2.9(v) that such foreign Lender is not legally able to deliver.
2.2.10    Post-Default/Maturity Date Interest.  Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, and from and after the Maturity Date if the entire Principal Amount is not repaid on the Maturity Date, interest on the outstanding principal balance of the Loan and, to the extent permitted by law, overdue interest and other amounts due in respect of the Loan shall bear interest at a per annum rate equal to three percent (3.0%) above the Applicable Base Rate (the Default Rate) calculated from the date such payment was due without regard to any grace or cure periods contained herein.  Interest at the Default Rate shall be computed from the occurrence of the Event of Default until the actual receipt and collection of the Indebtedness (or that portion thereof that is then due).  To the extent permitted by applicable law, interest at the Default Rate shall be added to the Indebtedness, shall itself accrue interest at the same rate as the Loan and shall be secured by the Security Instrument.  This paragraph shall not be construed as an agreement or privilege to extend the date of the payment of the Indebtedness, nor as a waiver of any other right or remedy accruing to Lender by reason of the occurrence of any Event of Default, and Lender retains its rights under the Note to accelerate and to continue to demand payment of the Indebtedness upon the happening of any Event of Default.
2.2.11    Computations.  All computations of interest and fees payable hereunder shall be based upon a year of 360 days for the actual number of days elapsed (which results in more interest being paid than if computed on the basis of a 365-day year).
2.2.12    Usury Savings.  This Agreement and the Notes are subject to the express condition that at no time shall Borrower be obligated or required to pay interest on the Principal Amount of the Loan at a rate which could subject Lenders 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 Principal Amount due under the Note at a rate in excess of the Maximum Legal Rate, then the Applicable LIBO Rate, the Applicable Base Rate or the Default Rate, as the case may be, 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 

38




 


reduction of principal and not on account of the interest due under the Note.  All sums paid or agreed to be paid to Lenders 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 Legal Rate of interest from time to time in effect and applicable to the Loan for so long as the Loan is outstanding.
2.2.13    Survival.  Without prejudice to the survival of any other agreement of Borrower hereunder, the agreements and obligations of Borrower contained in this Section 2.2 shall survive the payment in full of principal and interest hereunder, and the termination of this Agreement.
Section 2.3    Payments.
2.3.1    Evidence of Indebtedness.  The obligation of the Borrower to repay the Loan shall be evidenced by notations on the books and records of the Lenders.  Such books and records shall constitute prima facie evidence thereof.  Any failure to record the interest rate applicable thereto or any other information regarding the Obligations, or any error in doing so, shall not limit or otherwise affect the obligation of the Borrower with respect to any of the Obligations.  The Borrower shall promptly execute and deliver to each Lender a Note evidencing such Lender’s Percentage Share of the Loan provided that at all times all Notes issued by Borrower shall be in the aggregate amount of the Principal Amount, as reduced by prior prepayment.
2.3.2    Nature and Place of Payments.  All payments made on account of the Obligations shall be made by the Borrower, without setoff or counterclaim, in lawful money of the United States of America in immediately available same day funds, free and clear of and without deduction for any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes, fees or other charges of any nature whatsoever imposed by any taxing authority and must be received by the Administrative Agent by 11:00 a.m. (New York time) on the day of payment, it being expressly agreed and understood that if a payment is received after 11:00 a.m. (New York time) by the Administrative Agent, such payment may be considered to have been made by the Borrower on the next succeeding Business Day, in Administrative Agent’s sole discretion, and interest thereon shall be payable by the Borrower at the rate otherwise applicable thereto during such extension.  All payments on account of the Obligations shall be made to the Administrative Agent through the Contact Office.  If any payment required to be made by the Borrower hereunder becomes due and payable on a day other than a Business Day, the due date thereof shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day and interest thereon shall be payable at then applicable rate during such extension.
2.3.3    Prepayments.  
(i)    (a) Borrower shall remit to the Administrative Agent as a mandatory prepayment for application against the outstanding Principal Balance, the Proceeds of a Casualty or Condemnation of the Property, to the extent required to be applied to the prepayment of the Loan under Section 6.2.2.

39




 


(b)    During any Cash Sweep Period, all sums required to be deposited in the Excess Cash Reserve Account may be applied by Administrative Agent against the outstanding Principal Balance as provided in Section 16.3 as a prepayment.
(ii)    If prior to the Restricted Prepayment Date, the Obligations in respect of the principal balance of the Loan are accelerated by reason of an Event of Default or the Principal Amount is involuntarily or voluntarily paid in whole or in part due to a Cash Sweep Period, or otherwise (other than casualty or condemnation), then Lenders shall be entitled to receive, in addition to the unpaid principal and accrued interest and other sums due under the Loan Documents, an amount equal to the Prepayment Premium applicable to such principal so accelerated.  
(iii)    Upon not less than three (3) Business Days’ prior written notice to the Administrative Agent (which shall promptly provide telephonic notice of the receipt thereof to each of the Lenders), the Borrower may voluntarily prepay principal amounts outstanding under the Loan in whole or in part (without any release of collateral securing the Loan) subject to the following conditions: (A) any such prepayment of principal shall be accompanied by the payments required to be made under Section 2.3.3(v) below; and (B) voluntary prepayments shall be in the minimum amount of $1,000,000 and integral multiples of $100,000 in excess thereof.  Voluntary prepayments of principal pursuant to this Section 2.3.3(iii), shall not relieve Borrower from the obligation to make mandatory prepayments pursuant to Section 2.3.3(i).  
(iv)    Borrower acknowledges that (a) the Lenders are making the Loan in consideration of the receipt by Lenders of all interest and other benefits intended to be conferred by the Loan Documents and (b) if payments of principal are made to Lender prior to the Restricted Prepayment Date voluntarily or involuntarily (including as a result of the acceleration of the Loan after an Event of Default or payment of the Principal Amount is paid in whole or in part due to a Cash Sweep Period or otherwise (other than casualty or condemnation), Lenders will not receive all such interest and other benefits and may, in addition, incur costs.  For these reasons, and to induce Lenders to make the Loan, Borrower agrees that all payments made voluntarily or involuntarily (other than due to a casualty or condemnation) or after the acceleration of the principal amount of the Loan on or prior to the Restricted Prepayment Date will be accompanied by the Prepayment Premium (if required).  Such Prepayment Premium shall be required whether payment is made by Borrower, by a Person on behalf of Borrower, or by the purchaser at any foreclosure sale, and may be included in any bid by Lender at such sale.  Borrower further acknowledges that (A) it is a knowledgeable real estate developer and/or investor; (B) it fully understands the effect of the provisions of this Section 2.3.3(iv), as well as the other provisions of the Loan Documents; (C) the making of the Loan by Lenders at the interest rate provided and other terms set forth in the Loan Documents are sufficient consideration for Borrower’s obligation to pay a Prepayment Premium (if required); and (D) Lenders would not make 

40




 


the Loan on the terms set forth herein without the inclusion of such provisions.  Borrower also acknowledges that the provisions of this Agreement limiting the right of prepayment and providing for the payment of the Prepayment Premium and other charges specified herein were independently negotiated and bargained for, and constitute a specific material part of the consideration given by Borrower to Lenders for the making of the Loan. 
(v)    The Borrower shall pay in connection with any prepayment hereunder, whether voluntary or mandatory, (a) all interest accrued but unpaid on that portion of the Loan to which such prepayment is applied, (b) with respect to voluntary or involuntary prepayments prior to the Restricted Prepayment Date, the Prepayment Premium, (c) all amounts payable pursuant to Section 2.2.8 above, and (d) all reasonable costs and expenses of Administrative Agent and Lenders incurred in connection with the prepayment (including without limitation, any costs and expenses associated with a release of any Liens as well as reasonable attorneys' fees and expenses), in each case concurrently with payment of any principal amounts. 
2.3.4    Allocation of Payments Received.  
(i)    Prior to the occurrence of an Event of Default and acceleration of the Obligations, and unless otherwise expressly provided herein, all amounts received by the Administrative Agent on account of the Obligations shall be disbursed by the Administrative Agent to the Lenders pro rata in accordance with their respective Notes, by wire transfer of like funds received on the date of receipt if received by the Administrative Agent before 11:00 a.m. (New York time) or if received later, by 11:00 a.m. (New York time) on the next succeeding Business Day, without further interest payable by the Administrative Agent.
(ii)    Following the occurrence of an Event of Default and acceleration of the Obligations, all amounts received by the Administrative Agent on account of the Obligations, shall be promptly disbursed by the Administrative Agent as follows:
(A)    First, to the payment of out-of-pocket third party expenses and fees incurred by the Administrative Agent in the performance of its duties and the enforcement of the rights of the Lenders under the Loan Documents, including, without limitation, all costs and expenses of collection, “workout”, reasonable attorneys’ fees, court costs and other amounts payable as provided in Section 14.7 below; 
(B)    Then, to the Lenders, pro rata in accordance with their respective Percentage Shares, until interest accrued on the Loan has been paid in full;

41




 


(C)    Then, to the Lenders, pro rata in accordance with their respective Percentage Shares, until principal under the Loan has been paid in full;
(D)    Then, to the Lenders, pro rata to each Lender in accordance with the amount expressed in a percentage, which the amount of remaining Obligations owed to such Lender bears to all remaining Obligations held by all Lenders, until all other Obligations have been paid in full.
(iii)    The order of priority set forth in Section 2.3.4(ii) and the related provisions of this Agreement are set forth solely to determine the rights and priorities of the Administrative Agent and the other Lenders as among themselves.  The order of priority set forth in clauses (B) through (D) of Section 2.3.4(ii) may at any time and from time to time be changed by the Required Lenders without necessity of notice to or consent of or approval by the Borrower or any other Person.  The order of priority set forth in clause (A) of Section 2.3.4(ii) may be changed only with the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent.
2.3.5    Prepayments After Event of Default.  If, following an Event of Default, Administrative Agent shall accelerate the Indebtedness and Borrower thereafter tenders payment of all or any part of the Indebtedness, or if all or any portion of the Indebtedness is recovered by Lenders after such Event of Default, (a) such payment may be made only on the next occurring Payment Date together with all unpaid interest thereon as calculated through the end of the Interest Period during which such Payment Date occurs (even if such period extends beyond such Payment Date and calculated as if such payment had not been made on such Payment Date), and all other fees and sums payable hereunder or under the Loan Documents, including without limitation, interest that has accrued at the Default Rate, any Late Payment Charges, and the payment of any Prepayment Premium, if any), and (b) such payment shall be deemed a voluntary prepayment by Borrower.
2.3.6    Release of Property.  Administrative Agent shall, at the reasonable expense of Borrower, upon payment in full of the Principal Amount and interest on the Loan and all other amounts due and payable under the Loan Documents in accordance with the terms and provisions of the Note and this Agreement, release the Lien of (i) this Agreement upon the Account Collateral and the Rate Cap Collateral and (ii) the Security Instrument on the Property or assign it, in whole or in part, to a new lender.  In such event, Borrower shall submit to Administrative Agent, on a date prior to the date of such release or assignment sufficient to provide a reasonable period for review thereof, a release of lien or assignment of lien, as applicable, for such property for execution by Administrative Agent.  Such release or assignment, as applicable, shall be in a form appropriate in each jurisdiction in which the Property is located and satisfactory to Administrative Agent in its reasonable discretion.  In addition, Borrower shall provide all other documentation Administrative Agent reasonably requires to be delivered by Borrower in connection with such release or assignment, as applicable.  Borrower shall not be entitled to any release of the Lien on any Collateral as a result of any partial prepayment of the Loan.

42




 


Section 2.4    Conditions Precedent to Closing.
The obligation of Lenders to make the Loan hereunder is subject to the fulfillment by, or on behalf of, Borrower or waiver by Administrative Agent of the following conditions precedent no later than the Closing Date; provided, however, that unless a condition precedent shall expressly survive the Closing Date pursuant to a separate agreement, by funding the Loan, Administrative Agent shall be deemed to have waived any such conditions not theretofore fulfilled or satisfied:

Manager shall reserve for FF&E on a monthly basis in accordance with the terms of the Management Agreement not less than an amount equal to the Monthly FF&E Reserve Amount; such reserves are maintained in the Hotel Bank Accounts (as defined in the Management Agreement) (subject to disbursements therefrom as permitted by the Management Agreement). 
4.1.46    Intellectual Property Title and Lien. 


The specified IP Owner owns and has good and marketable title to the Intellectual Property on the IP Schedule and the IP Owners own and have good and marketable title to other Intellectual Property that it owns or purports to own and to their rights under the IP Licenses, free and clear of all Liens whatsoever except the Permitted Encumbrances.  IP Owner's rights in, to, and under the IP Collateral constitute general intangibles under the applicable UCC. Upon filing, the Uniform Commercial Code financing statements pertaining to the IP Collateral will create a valid, perfected first priority lien on the applicable Intellectual Property and IP Owners' rights in, to and under the IP Collateral, subject only to Permitted Encumbrances.  IP Owners have received all consents and approvals required by the terms of the IP Licenses or as a matter of law to pledge the IP Collateral to the Lender under the Assignment of Agreements.  Other than the security interest granted to the Lender hereunder and under the other Loan Documents and Permitted Encumbrances, IP Owners have not pledged, assigned, sold, or granted a security interest in Intellectual Property or IP Licenses to any party, except as shall have been released or terminated. IP Owners shall reasonably cooperate with Lender to permit Lender to complete all filings necessary to protect and evidence the Lenders' security interest in the IP Collateral as follows: in the United States, within ten (10) days from the date hereof, including filing the UCC-l financing statements and filings with the United States Patent and Trademark Office and the United States Copyright Office. No effective security agreement, financing statement, equivalent security, or lien instrument or continuation statement authorized by any IP Owner and listing such IP Owner as debtor covering all or any part of the IP Collateral has been filed with any Governmental Authority, or is of record in any jurisdiction in the United States or in any foreign jurisdiction, except as may have been filed, recorded, or made by an IP Owner in favor of the Lender in connection with this Agreement or the Security Instrument to which an IP Owner is a party, and no IP Owner has authorized any such filing.  All IP Owners shall execute a joinder in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Administrative Agent to the Assignment of Agreements upon Administrative Agent’s request.
4.1.47    Intellectual Property
IP Owners either own, or are licensed to use, all the Intellectual Property used in, held for use in, or necessary for the use, ownership, management, leasing, renovation, financing, development, operation and maintenance of the Property by Borrower, Operating Lessee, or Manager (including the reservations system at the Property) consistent with past practices, other than the Intellectual Property set forth on Schedule VI.  The Intellectual Property set forth on 

71




 


Schedule VI is owned or licensed by Manager.  The IP Collateral is the only Intellectual Property utilized with respect to the Property or Borrower's, Operating Lessee's or Manager's use, ownership, management, leasing, renovation, financing, development, operation and maintenance of the Property consistent with past practices, other than as set forth on Schedule VI and, as of the Closing Date, no other Person owns any Intellectual Property other than as set forth on Schedule VI that is necessary for or used in the current use, ownership, management, leasing, renovation, financing, development, operation and maintenance of the Property consistent with past practices except as may be licensed to the IP Owners under the IP Licenses.  IP Owners are duly qualified under applicable law in each jurisdiction in which they are required to be qualified pursuant to applicable Legal Requirements in order to act as a licensor of the Intellectual Property and sublicensor under the IP License Agreements.  Attached hereto as Schedule VI is a complete and accurate list of all of the registered and pending applications for registration, anywhere in the world, for all Intellectual Property owned by any IP Owner and all IP Licenses to which any IP Owner is a party (the IP Schedule).  There is no action or proceeding pending, or to the Best of Borrower's Knowledge, threatened by or against Borrower, any Affiliate thereof, or any IP Owner: (x) alleging the infringement, dilution, misappropriation, or other violation of any Intellectual Property or (y) seeking to limit, cancel, or question the validity or enforceability of any IP Collateral (including, without limitation, the right to proceeds therefrom and the right to bring an action at law or in equity for any infringement, dilution, or violation of such Intellectual Property and to collect all damages, settlements, and proceeds relating to such Intellectual Property), or IP Owner's rights or interests therein, or use thereof. To the Best of Borrower's Knowledge, no Person has interfered with, infringed upon, diluted, misappropriated, or otherwise come into conflict with any Intellectual Property of any IP Owner.  Neither the Intellectual Property owned by any IP Owner nor any IP Owner's use of the Intellectual Property is subject to any outstanding injunction, judgment, order, decree, ruling, or charge.  Each IP Owner, in its reasonable discretion, has made all filings and recordations in the United States and in all foreign jurisdictions, as applicable, necessary to adequately effect, reflect, and protect its ownership in, right to use, or its license of Intellectual Property used or held for the use, ownership, management, leasing, renovation, financing, development, operation and maintenance of the Property by Borrower, Operating Lessee, or Manager.  All Intellectual Property set forth on the IP Schedule, is subsisting, unexpired, has not been abandoned in any applicable jurisdiction, and is valid and enforceable and, to Borrower's knowledge, the use of the IP Collateral in the manner in which it is currently used or planned to be used does not infringe, dilute, misappropriate, or otherwise violate the rights of any Person.
4.1.48    Survival of Representations.  Borrower agrees that all of the representations and warranties of Borrower set forth in Section 4.1 and elsewhere in this Agreement and in the other Loan Documents shall be deemed given and made as of the date of the funding of the Loan and survive for so long as any amount remains owing to Lenders under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents by Borrower or Transaction Party unless a longer survival period is expressly stated in a Loan Document with respect to a specific representation or warranty, in which case, for such longer period.  All representations, warranties, covenants and agreements made in this Agreement or in the other Loan Documents by Borrower shall be deemed to have been relied upon by Administrative Agent and Lenders notwithstanding any investigation heretofore or hereafter made by Administrative Agent or Lenders or on each of their behalf.

89




 


amount (A) shall maintain the effectiveness of such Policy as to the Property and (B) shall otherwise provide the same protection as would a separate policy that complies with the terms of this Agreement as to the Property, notwithstanding the failure of payment of any other portion of the insurance premiums.

Borrower shall deliver to Administrative Agent, concurrently with each change in any Policy, a certificate with respect to such changed Policy certified by the insurance company issuing that Policy, in substantially the same form and containing substantially the same information as the certificates required to be delivered by Borrower pursuant to the first sentence of this clause (i) and stating that all premiums then due thereon have been paid to the applicable insurers and that the same are in full force and effect (or if such certificate and/or other information described in this clause (ii) shall not be obtainable by Borrower, Borrower may deliver an Officer’s Certificate to such effect in lieu thereof).
(C)    Within three (3) Business Days prior to the expiration, termination or cancellation of any Policy, Borrower shall renew such policy or obtain a replacement policy or policies (or a binding commitment for such replacement policy or policies), which shall be effective no later than the date of the expiration, termination or cancellation of the previous policy, and shall deliver to Administrative Agent a certificate in respect of such policy or policies (A) containing the same information as the certificates required to be delivered by Borrower pursuant to clause (b) above, or a copy of the binding commitment for such policy or policies and (B) confirming that such policy complies with all requirements hereof.

of Section 2.3.3 hereof), or (ii) make such Proceeds available to reimburse Borrower for the cost of any Restoration in the manner set forth below in Section 6.2.4 hereof.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, in the event of a Material Casualty or a Material Condemnation, where Borrower cannot restore, repair, replace or rebuild the Property to be of at least substantially equal value and of substantially the same character as prior to the Material Casualty or Material Condemnation or title defect because the Property is a legally non-conforming use or as a result of any other Legal Requirement, Borrower hereby agrees that the Administrative Agent  may apply the Proceeds payable in connection therewith in accordance with clauses (A), (B) and (C).
6.2.4    Manner of Restoration and Reimbursement.  If Borrower is entitled pursuant to Sections 6.2.2 or 6.2.3 above to reimbursement out of Proceeds (and the conditions specified therein shall have been satisfied), such Proceeds shall be disbursed on a monthly basis upon Administrative Agent being furnished with (i) such architect’s certificates, waivers of lien, contractor’s sworn statements, title insurance endorsements, bonds, plats of survey and such other evidences of cost, payment and performance as Administrative Agent may reasonably require and approve, and (ii) all plans and specifications for such Restoration, such plans and specifications to be approved by Administrative Agent prior to commencement of any work (such approval not to be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned).  In addition, no payment made prior to the Final Completion of the Restoration (excluding punch-list items) shall exceed ninety percent (90%) of the aggregate value of the work performed from time to time; funds other than Proceeds shall be disbursed prior to disbursement of such Proceeds; and at all times, the undisbursed balance of such Proceeds remaining in the hands of Administrative Agent, together with funds deposited for that purpose or irrevocably committed to the satisfaction of Administrative Agent by or on behalf of Borrower for that purpose, shall be at least sufficient in the reasonable judgment of Administrative Agent to pay for the cost of completion of the Restoration, free and clear of all Liens or claims for Lien.  Prior to any disbursement, Administrative Agent shall have received evidence satisfactory to Administrative Agent in its good faith judgment of the estimated cost of completion of the Restoration (such estimate to be made by Borrower’s architect or contractor and approved by Administrative Agent in its good faith discretion), and Borrower shall have deposited with Lender Eligible Collateral in an amount equal to the excess (if any) of such estimated cost of completion over the net Proceeds.    
6.2.5    Condemnation.
(A)    Borrower shall promptly give Administrative Agent written notice of the actual commencement or written threat of commencement of any Condemnation and shall deliver to Administrative Agent copies of any and all papers served in connection with such Condemnation.  Following the occurrence of a Condemnation, Borrower, regardless of whether Proceeds are available, shall promptly proceed to restore, repair, replace or rebuild the same to the extent practicable to be of at least equal value and of substantially the same character as prior to such Condemnation, all to be effected in accordance with the terms hereof applicable to Alterations.

94




 


(B)    Administrative Agent is hereby irrevocably appointed as Borrower's attorney-in-fact, coupled with an interest, with exclusive power to collect, receive and retain any Proceeds in respect of a Condemnation and to make any compromise or settlement in connection with such Condemnation, subject to the provisions of this Section.  Provided no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, (x) in the event of a Condemnation where the loss does not exceed the Threshold Amount, Borrower may settle and compromise such Proceeds; provided that the same is effected in a competent and timely manner, and (y) in the event of a Condemnation, where the loss exceeds the Threshold Amount, Borrower may settle and compromise the Proceeds only with the consent of Administrative Agent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned) and Lender shall have the opportunity to participate, at Borrower's sole cost and expense, in any litigation and settlement discussions in respect thereof.  Notwithstanding any Condemnation by any public or quasi-public authority (including any transfer made in lieu of or in anticipation of such a Condemnation), Borrower shall continue to pay the Indebtedness at the time and in the manner provided for in the Note, this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and the Indebtedness shall not be reduced unless and until any Proceeds shall have been actually received and applied by Administrative Agent to discharge the Indebtedness, pay required interest and pay any other required amounts, in each case, pursuant to the terms of Sections 6.2.2 or 6.2.3 above.  Administrative Agent shall not be limited to the interest paid on the Proceeds by the condemning authority but shall be entitled to receive out of the Proceeds interest at the rate or rates provided in the Note and this Agreement.  Borrower shall cause any Proceeds that are payable to Borrower to be paid directly to Administrative Agent to be held and applied in accordance with the terms hereof.

If such action or proceeding is terminated or discontinued adversely to Borrower, Borrower shall deliver to Administrative Agent reasonable evidence of Borrower’s compliance with such contested Imposition, Lien, Legal Requirements or Insurance Requirements, as the case may be.

(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.

(D)    Giving effect to the aforesaid grant and assignment to Administrative Agent, Administrative Agent 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 Administrative Agent 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.
(E)    Except for financing statements filed or to be filed in favor of Administrative Agent 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 Administrative Agent, 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, 

106




 


except financing statements filed or to be filed in favor of Administrative Agent as secured party.
Section 9.5    Payments.  If Borrower at any time shall be entitled to receive any payments with respect to the Interest Rate Cap Agreement, such amounts shall, immediately upon becoming payable to Borrower, be deposited by Counterparty into the Holding Account.
Section 9.6    Remedies.  Subject to the provisions of the Interest Rate Cap Agreement, if an Event of Default shall occur and then be continuing:
(A)    Administrative Agent, 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 Administrative Agent 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 Administrative Agent upon credit or for future delivery, Administrative Agent 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, Administrative Agent may resell such Rate Cap Collateral.  It is expressly agreed that Administrative Agent 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 Administrative Agent’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)    Administrative Agent may exercise, either by itself or by its nominee or designee, in the name of Borrower, all of Administrative Agent’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 Administrative Agent and assigns and transfers unto Administrative Agent, and constitutes and appoints Administrative 

107




 


Agent 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, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, (i) to exercise and enforce every right, power, remedy, authority, option and privilege of Borrower under the Interest 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 Administrative Agent the rights and remedies provided for herein, to exercise all of the rights, remedies and powers granted to Administrative Agent in this Agreement, and Borrower further authorizes and empowers Administrative Agent, as Borrower’s attorney-in-fact, and as its agent, irrevocably, with full power of substitution for Borrower and in the name of Borrower, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, 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 Administrative Agent 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)    Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, Administrative Agent 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 Administrative Agent, notify the Counterparty, or if applicable, any other counterparty to the Interest Rate Cap Agreement, to make payment and performance directly to Administrative Agent; 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 Administrative Agent 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 

108




 


Administrative Agent 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, Administrative Agent 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 Administrative Agent shall not be permitted to take any action pursuant to said power-of-attorney that would conflict with any limitation on Administrative Agent’s rights with respect to the Rate Cap Collateral.  Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Administrative Agent, 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.
(F)    Administrative Agent 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, Administrative Agent 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, Administrative Agent in exercising its rights under this Section 9.6(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 Administrative Agent upon demand and shall be secured by this Agreement.
Section 9.7    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 

109




 


Borrower, shall be required in connection with any sale or other disposition of all or any part of the Rate Cap Collateral, except that Administrative Agent 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, Administrative Agent 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 Administrative Agent 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, Administrative Agent (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, Administrative Agent shall apply any residue to the payment of the Obligations in the order of priority as set forth in Section 11 of the Security Instrument.
Section 9.8    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 Collateral shall not be deemed to have been made in a commercially unreasonably manner by mere virtue of having been made privately.
Section 9.9    Receipt of Sale Proceeds.  Upon any sale of the Rate Cap Collateral by Administrative Agent hereunder (whether by virtue of the power of sale herein granted, pursuant to judicial process or otherwise), the receipt by Administrative Agent 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 Administrative Agent or such officer or be answerable in any way for the misapplication or non- application thereof.
Section 9.10    Extension Interest Rate Cap Agreement.  If Borrower exercises any of its options to extend the Maturity Date pursuant to Section 2.1.6 herein, then, on or prior to the Maturity Date being extended, the Borrower shall obtain or have in place an Extension Interest Rate Cap Agreement (i) having a term through the end of the Interest Period in which the extended Maturity Date occurs, (ii) in a notional amount at least equal to the Principal Amount of 

110




 


the Loan as of the Maturity Date being extended, and (iii) having a strike rate equal to an amount such that the maximum interest rate paid by the Borrower after giving effect to payments made under such Extension Interest Rate Cap Agreement shall equal no more than the LIBOR Cap Strike Rate.
Section 9.11    Filing of Financing Statements Authorized.  Borrower and Operating Lessee hereby authorize the filing of a form UCC-1 financing statement naming the Borrower and the Operating Lessee as debtors and the Administrative Agent as secured party in any office (including the office of the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware) covering all property of the Borrower and the Operating Lessee (including, but not limited to, the Account Collateral and the Rate Cap Collateral, but excluding Excess Cash Flow).

(iii)    Any Eligible Collateral that a Borrower delivers to Administrative Agent pursuant hereto (and the proceeds of any such Eligible Collateral) shall be invested (to the extent such Eligible Collateral can be invested) by Administrative Agent in Permitted Investments for a period of time consistent with the date on which the Borrower notifies Administrative Agent that the Borrower expects to request a release of such Eligible Collateral in accordance with the next succeeding sentence.  From time to time as the Material Alteration progresses, the amount of any 

113




 


Eligible Collateral so furnished may, upon the written request of Borrower to Administrative Agent, be withdrawn by Borrower and paid or otherwise applied by or returned to Borrower in an amount equal to the amount Borrower would be entitled to so withdraw if Section 6.2.4 were applicable, subject to the satisfaction of the conditions precedent to withdrawal of funds set forth in Section 6.2.4 hereof.  In connection with the above-described quarterly update of the projected stages of completion of the Material Alteration (as concurred with by an Independent Architect), Borrower shall increase (or be permitted to decrease, as applicable) the Eligible Collateral then deposited with Administrative Agent as necessary to comply with Section 10.2(H)(i) hereof.

(C)    Notwithstanding the foregoing clause any Budgets submitted during a Cash Sweep Period, and in each case any material amendment therefrom, to the extent Borrower or an Affiliate of Borrower has the right to approve any Budget (or budget like items) or amendment to any Budget (or budget like items) under the  Management Agreement or to the extent Borrower has the right to approve or consent to any variance from the Budget (or budget like items) under the Management Agreement, shall be subject to Administrative Agent’s prior written approval, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned so long as no Event of Default is continuing. To the extent Administrative Agent has the right to consent or approve matters relating to the Budget (or budget like items)  in accordance with this Section 11.2.6(C), Administrative Agent shall exercise such consent or approval rights in a manner consistent with the provisions of the Management Agreement governing such consent or approval.
(D)    Subject to Administrative Agent’s rights in the preceding paragraph,  within thirty (30) days after its receipt of notice of the commencement of any Cash Sweep Period, Borrower shall consult with Administrative Agent and shall afford Administrative Agent a reasonable opportunity to meet and confer with Borrower and Manager to discuss in reasonable detail the Budget (or the Annual Plan), general hotel operations, possible amendments and revisions to the Budget or the Annual Plan, as applicable, and Borrower and its Affiliates shall use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain Manager’s approval of Budget or Annual Plan revisions as requested by Administrative Agent in its reasonable discretion. 
11.2.7    IP Collateral. Borrower shall provide to Administrative Agent written notice of any Intellectual Property acquired for the use, ownership, management, leasing, renovation, financing, development, operation and maintenance of the Property after the date hereof, which is the subject of a registration or application (including IP Collateral which was theretofore unregistered and becomes the subject of a registration or application) or any material 

118




 


or exclusive IP Licenses, and deliver to Administrative Agent an instrument in form and substance reasonably acceptable to Administrative Agent.  Borrower shall provide such notice to Administrative Agent promptly upon the acquisition of such Intellectual Property or IP License.  Borrower shall execute and deliver to Administrative Agent all filings necessary to protect and evidence the Lenders' security interest in such Intellectual Property and IP Licenses.  Further, the Borrower authorizes Administrative Agent to modify this Agreement by amending the IP Schedule to include any applications or registration for IP Collateral (but the failure to do so modify such IP Schedule shall not be deemed to affect Lender's security interest in or lien upon such IP Collateral).


11.2.8    Other Information.  Borrower shall, promptly after written request by Administrative Agent, furnish or cause to be furnished to Administrative Agent, in such manner and in such detail as may be reasonably requested by Administrative Agent, such reasonable additional information as may be reasonably requested with respect to the Property.

The information required to be furnished by Borrower to Administrative Agent under this Section 11.2 shall be provided in both hard copy format and electronic format; provided that Borrower shall only be required to provide the information required under this Section 11.2.8 in electronic format if such information is so available in the ordinary course of the operations of the Borrower and Manager and without significant expense.

12.2.1    Compliance with Environmental Laws.  Subject to Borrower’s right to contest under Section 7.3, Borrower covenants and agrees with Administrative Agent that it shall comply with all Environmental Laws.  If at any time during the continuance of the Lien of the Security Instrument, a Governmental Authority having jurisdiction over the Property requires remedial action to correct the presence of Hazardous Materials in, around, or under the Property (an Environmental Event), Borrower shall deliver prompt notice of the occurrence of such Environmental Event to Administrative Agent.  Within thirty (30) days after Borrower has knowledge of the occurrence of an Environmental Event, Borrower shall deliver to Administrative Agent an Officer’s Certificate (an Environmental Certificate) explaining the Environmental Event in reasonable detail and setting forth the proposed remedial action.  Borrower shall promptly provide Administrative Agent with copies of all notices from any Governmental Authority which allege or identify any actual or potential violation or noncompliance received by or prepared by or for Borrower in connection with any Environmental Law.  For purposes of this paragraph, the term “notice” shall mean any summons, citation, directive, order, claim, pleading, letter, application, filing, report, findings, declarations or other materials provided by any Governmental Entity pertinent to compliance of the Property and Borrower with such Environmental Laws.
Section 12.3    Environmental Reports.  Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Environmental Event with respect to the Property or an Event of Default, Administrative Agent shall have the right to direct Borrower to obtain consultants reasonably approved by Administrative Agent to perform a comprehensive environmental audit of the Property.  Such audit shall be conducted by an environmental consultant chosen by Administrative Agent and may include a visual survey, a record review, an area reconnaissance assessing the presence of hazardous or toxic waste or substances, PCBs or storage tanks at the Property, an asbestos survey of the Property, which may include random sampling of the Improvements and air quality testing, and such further site assessments as Administrative Agent may reasonably require due to the results obtained from the foregoing.  Borrower grants Administrative Agent, its agents, consultants and contractors the right to enter the Property as reasonable or appropriate for the circumstances for the purposes of performing such studies and the reasonable cost of such studies shall be due and payable by Borrower to Administrative Agent upon demand and shall be secured by the Lien of the Security Instrument.  Administrative Agent shall not unreasonably interfere with, and Administrative Agent shall direct the environmental consultant to use its commercially reasonable efforts not to hinder, Borrower’s or any Tenant’s, other occupant’s or Manager’s operations upon the Property when conducting such audit, sampling or inspections.  By undertaking any of the measures identified in and pursuant to this Section 12.3, Administrative Agent shall not be deemed to be exercising any control over the 

120




 


operations of Borrower or the handling of any environmental matter or hazardous wastes or substances of Borrower for purposes of incurring or being subject to liability therefor.
Section 12.4    Environmental Indemnification  
(A)    Borrower shall protect, indemnify, save, defend, and hold harmless the Indemnified Parties from and against any and all Liabilities which any Indemnified Party may suffer, as a result of or with respect to:  (a) any Environmental Claim relating to or arising from the Property; (b) the violation of any Environmental Law in connection with the Property; (c) any release, spill, or the presence of any Hazardous Materials affecting the Property; and (d) the presence at, in, on or under, or the release, escape, seepage, leakage, discharge or migration at or from, the Property of any Hazardous Materials, whether or not such condition was known or unknown to Borrower.  
(B)    Notwithstanding Section 12.4(A) above, Borrower shall not be liable for any Hazardous Materials first placed on or under the Property (or any portion thereof) after ownership and control of the Property has been transferred to a third party following foreclosure or conveyance in lieu of foreclosure  (“Transfer of Ownership”); provided, however, that (i) the existence of any Hazardous Materials placed in, under, over, from or affecting the Property (or such portion thereof), which materials were present prior to Transfer of Ownership, shall remain subject to Borrower’s indemnification obligations; and (ii) Borrower shall have the burden of proving that such environmental condition occurred subsequent to Transfer of Ownership.
(C)    If any such action or other proceeding shall be brought against Administrative Agent, upon written notice from Borrower to Administrative Agent (given reasonably promptly following Administrative Agent’s notice to Borrower of such action or proceeding), Borrower shall be entitled to assume the defense thereof, at Borrower’s expense, with counsel reasonably acceptable to Administrative Agent; provided, however, Administrative Agent may, at its own expense, retain separate counsel to participate in such defense, but such participation shall not be deemed to give Administrative Agent a right to control such defense, which right Borrower expressly retains.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, each Indemnified Party shall have the right to employ separate counsel at Borrower’s expense if, in the reasonable opinion of legal counsel, a conflict or potential conflict exists between the Indemnified Party and Borrower that would make such separate representation advisable.  Borrower 

121




 


shall have no obligation to indemnify an Indemnified Party for damage or loss resulting from such Indemnified Party’s gross negligence or willful misconduct.
Section 12.5    Recourse Nature of Certain Indemnifications.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary provided in this Agreement or in any other Loan Document, the indemnification provided in Section 12.4 shall be fully recourse to Borrower (but not its constituent members, except as provided in the Environmental Indemnity) and shall be independent of, and shall survive, the discharge of the Indebtedness, the release of the Lien created by the Security Instrument, and/or the conveyance of title to the Property to Administrative Agent or any purchaser or designee in connection with a foreclosure of the Security Instrument or conveyance in lieu of foreclosure.

	THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT


Section 14.1    Appointment.  Each Lender hereby irrevocably designates and appoints the Administrative Agent as the agent of such Lender under the Loan Documents and each such Lender hereby irrevocably authorizes the Administrative Agent, as the agent for such Lender, to take such action on its behalf under the provisions of the Loan Documents and to exercise such powers and perform such duties as are expressly delegated to the Administrative Agent by the terms of the Loan Documents, together with such other powers as are reasonably incidental thereto.  Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary elsewhere in the Loan Documents, the Administrative Agent shall not have any duties or responsibilities, except those expressly set forth herein or therein, or any fiduciary relationship with any Lender, and no implied covenants, functions, responsibilities, duties, obligations or liabilities shall be read into the Loan Documents or otherwise exist against the Administrative Agent.
Section 14.2    Delegation of Duties.  The Administrative Agent may execute any of its duties under the Loan Documents by or through agents (“Agents”) or attorneys-in-fact and shall be entitled to advice of counsel concerning all matters pertaining to such duties.  The Administrative Agent shall not be responsible for the negligence or misconduct of any agents or attorneys-in-fact selected by it with reasonable care.
Section 14.3    Exculpatory Provisions.  None of the Administrative Agent, the other Agents, nor any of their respective officers, directors, employees, agents, attorneys-in-fact or affiliates shall be (1) liable for any action lawfully taken or omitted to be taken by it or such Person under or in connection with the Loan Documents (except for its or such Person’s own gross negligence or willful misconduct), or (2) responsible in any manner to any of the Lenders for any recitals, statements, representations or warranties made by the Transaction Parties or any officer thereof contained in the Loan Documents or in any certificate, report, statement or other document referred to or provided for in, or received by the Administrative Agent under or in connection with the Loan Documents or for the value, validity, effectiveness, genuineness, enforceability or sufficiency of the Loan Documents or for any failure of the Transaction Parties to perform their obligations hereunder or thereunder.  The Administrative Agent and the other Agents shall not be under any obligation to any Lender to ascertain or to inquire as to the 

122




 


observance or performance of any of the agreements contained in, or conditions of, the Loan Documents or to inspect the properties, books or records of the Transaction Parties.
Section 14.4    Reliance by the Agents.  Each of the Agents shall be entitled to rely, and shall be fully protected in relying, upon any note, writing, resolution, notice, consent, certification, affidavit, letter, cablegram, telegram, telecopy, telex or teletype message, statement, order or other document or conversation reasonably believed by it to be genuine and correct and to have been signed, sent or made by the proper Person or Persons and upon advice and statements of legal counsel (including, without limitation, counsel to the Borrower), independent accountants and other experts selected by such Agent.  As to the Lenders:  (1) the Administrative Agent shall be fully justified in failing or refusing to take any action under the Loan Documents unless it shall first receive such advice or concurrence of one hundred percent (100%) of the Lenders (or, if a provision of this Agreement expressly provides that a lesser number of the Lenders may direct the action of the Administrative Agent, such lesser number of Lenders) or it shall first be indemnified to its satisfaction by the Lenders ratably in accordance with their respective Percentage Shares against any and all liability and expense which may be incurred by it by reason of taking or continuing to take any action (except for liabilities and expenses resulting from the Administrative Agent’s gross negligence or willful misconduct), and (2) the Administrative Agent shall in all cases be fully protected in acting, or in refraining from acting, under the Loan Documents in accordance with a request of one hundred percent (100%) of the Lenders (or, if a provision of this Agreement expressly provides that the Administrative Agent shall be required to act or refrain from acting at the request of a lesser number of the Lenders, such lesser number of Lenders), and such request and any action taken or failure to act pursuant thereto shall be binding upon all the Lenders. 
Section 14.5    Notice of Default.  The Administrative Agent shall not be deemed to have knowledge or notice of the occurrence of any Default or Event of Default hereunder unless the Administrative Agent has received notice from a Lender or the Borrower referring to the Loan Documents, describing such Default or Event of Default and stating that such notice is a “notice of default.”  In the event that the Administrative Agent receives such a notice and a Default has occurred, the Administrative Agent shall promptly give notice thereof to the Lenders.  The Administrative Agent shall take such action with respect to such Default or Event of Default as shall be reasonably directed by the Required Lenders; provided that, unless and until the Administrative Agent shall have received such directions, the Administrative Agent may (but shall not be obligated to) take such action, or refrain from taking such action, with respect to such Default or Event of Default as it shall deem advisable in the best interest of the Lenders (except to the extent that this Agreement or the Recourse Guaranty expressly requires that such action be taken or not taken by the Administrative Agent with the consent or upon the authorization of the Required Lenders or such other group of Lenders, in which case such action will be taken or not taken as directed by the Required Lenders or such other group of Lenders or Lenders).
Section 14.6    Non-Reliance on Agents and Other Lenders.  Each Lender expressly acknowledges that none of the Administrative Agent, the other Agents nor any of their respective officers, directors, employees, agents, attorneys-in-fact or affiliates has made any 

123




 


representations or warranties to it and that no act by the Administrative Agent or the other Agents hereinafter taken, including any review of the affairs of the Transaction Parties, shall be deemed to constitute any representation or warranty by the Administrative Agent or the other Agents to any Lender.  Each Lender represents to the Administrative Agent and the other Agents that it has, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent, the other Agents or any other Lender, and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own appraisal of and investigation into the business, operations, property, financial and other condition and creditworthiness of the Transaction Parties and made its own decision to make its loans hereunder and enter into this Agreement.  Each Lender also represents that it will, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent, the other Agents or any other Lender, and based on such documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own credit analysis, appraisals and decisions in taking or not taking action under this Agreement, and to make such investigation as it deems necessary to inform itself as to the business, operations, property, financial and other condition and creditworthiness of the Transaction Parties.  Except for notices, reports and other documents expressly required to be furnished to the Lenders by the Administrative Agent hereunder, the Administrative Agent and the other Agents shall not have any duty or responsibility to provide any Lender with any credit or other information concerning the business, operations, property, financial and other condition or creditworthiness of the Transaction Parties which may come into the possession of the Administrative Agent or any other Agent or any of their respective officers, directors, employees, agents, attorneys-in-fact or affiliates.
Section 14.7    Indemnification; Reimbursement of Protective Advances.  
14.7.1    Indemnification.  The Lenders agree to indemnify the Administrative Agent and the other Agents in their respective capacity as such (to the extent not reimbursed by the Borrower and without limiting the obligation of the Borrower to do so), ratably according to the respective amounts of their Percentage Shares, from and against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind whatsoever which may at any time (including without limitation at any time following the payment of the Obligations) be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against the Administrative Agent or the other Agents in any way relating to or arising out of the Loan Documents or any documents contemplated by or referred to herein or the transactions contemplated hereby or any action taken or omitted by the Administrative Agent or the other Agents under or in connection with any of the foregoing; provided that no Lender shall be liable for the payment of any portion of such liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements resulting from the Administrative Agent’s or any other Agent’s gross negligence or willful misconduct, respectively.  The provisions of this Section 14.7 shall survive the payment of the Obligations and the termination of this Agreement.
14.7.2    Reimbursement of Protective Advances.  If Administrative Agent incurs any reasonable costs or expenses (including, without limitation, those for legal services) after the date of this Agreement and with respect to any actual or proposed Modification or waiver of any term of the Loan Documents or restructuring or refinancing thereof or with any effort to enforce or protect Lenders’ rights or interests with respect thereto 

124




 


(including any protective advances made in accordance with Section 8 of the Security Instrument), or otherwise with respect to the performance of its role as administrative agent under this Agreement, each in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, then, if such costs are not reimbursed by or on behalf of Borrower, Lenders shall reimburse Administrative Agent for their Percentage Share of such costs promptly after request therefor.  If Administrative Agent recovers any amounts for which Administrative Agent has previously been reimbursed by Lenders hereunder, Administrative Agent shall promptly distribute to Lenders their Percentage Share thereof.
14.7.3     In the event a Lender fails to reimburse Administrative Agent for its Percentage Share of costs pursuant to this Section 14.7 and such failure continues for a period of three (3) Business Days after notice from Administrative Agent, such Lender shall cease to be entitled to any voting, consent or approval rights hereunder or under any other Loan Document, until such time such Lender reimburses Administrative Agent for its Percentage Share of such costs.
Section 14.8    Agents in Their Individual Capacity.  The Administrative Agent, the other Agents and their affiliates may make loans to, accept deposits from and generally engage in any kind of business with any of the Transaction Parties or any of their respective Subsidiaries and Affiliates as though the Administrative Agent and the other Agents were not, respectively, the Administrative Agent, or an Agent hereunder.  With respect to such loans made or renewed by them and any Note issued to them, the Administrative Agent and the other Agents shall have the same rights and powers under the Loan Documents as any Lender and may exercise the same as though it were not the Administrative Agent or an Agent, respectively, and the terms “Lender” and “Lenders” shall include the Administrative Agent and each other Agent in its individual capacity.
Section 14.9    Successor Administrative Agent.  The Administrative Agent may resign as Administrative Agent under the Loan Documents upon thirty (30) days’ notice to the Lenders.  If the Administrative Agent shall resign, then the Lenders (other than the Lender resigning as Administrative Agent) shall appoint a successor agent or, if the Lenders are unable to agree on the appointment of a successor agent, the Administrative Agent shall appoint a successor agent for the Lenders whereupon such successor agent shall succeed to the rights, powers and duties of the Administrative Agent, and the term “Administrative Agent” shall mean such successor agent effective upon its appointment, and the former Administrative Agent’s rights, powers and duties as Administrative Agent shall be terminated, without any other or further act or deed on the part of such former Administrative Agent or any of the parties to this Agreement or any of the Loan Documents or successors thereto.  After any retiring Administrative Agent’s resignation hereunder as Administrative Agent, the provisions of the Loan Documents shall inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was Administrative Agent under the Loan Documents.
Section 14.10    Limitations on Agents Liability.  No Agent other than Administrative Agent shall, each in its capacity as an Agent, have any right, power, obligation, liability, responsibility or duty under this Agreement or the other Loan Documents.

125




 


Section 14.11    Approvals of Lenders.  All communications from Administrative Agent to any Lender requesting such Lender’s determination, consent, approval or disapproval (a) shall be given in the form of a written notice to such Lender, and (b) shall be accompanied by a description of the matter or issue as to which such determination, approval, consent or disapproval is requested, or shall advise such Lender where information, if any, regarding such matter or issue may be inspected, or shall otherwise describe the matter or issue to be resolved. Unless a Lender shall give written notice to Administrative Agent that it specifically objects to the recommendation or determination of the Administrative Agent (together with a reasonable written explanation of the reasons behind such objection) within ten (10) Business Days (or such lesser or greater period as may be specifically required under the express terms of the Loan Documents) of receipt of such communication, such Lender shall be deemed to have conclusively approved of or consented to such recommendation or determination.
		
	XV.
	ASSIGNMENTS AND PARTICIPATIONS.


Section 15.1    Assignments, Delegations and Pledges.  With the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed, any Lender may at any time assign, delegate and pledge to one or more Eligible Assignees (provided that no written consent of the Administrative Agent shall be required in connection with any assignment, delegation and pledge by a Lender to an Affiliate of such Lender or to another Lender or its Affiliate) (each such assignee, an Assignee, and each such pledgee, a Pledgee) all or any part of such Lender’s Percentage Share of the Loan and the other Obligations held by such Lender hereunder, in a minimum amount of $1,000,000, which minimum amount may be an aggregated amount in the event of simultaneous assignments to or by two or more funds under common management (or if such Lender’s Percentage Share of the Loan is less than $1,000,000, one hundred percent (100%) thereof); provided, however, that the Transaction Parties, the Borrower and the Administrative Agent may continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with the interest so assigned to an Assignee until (i) written notice of such assignment, together with payment instructions, addresses and related information with respect to the Assignee, shall have been given to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent by such Lender and the Assignee; (ii) such Lender and its Assignee shall have delivered to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent an Assignment and Acceptance Agreement, (iii) the assignment shall have been recorded in the Register, and  (iv) the parties to each assignment shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent an Assignment Agreement via an electronic settlement system acceptable to the Administrative Agent (or, if previously agreed with the Administrative Agent, manually), and shall pay to the Administrative Agent a processing and recordation fee of $3,500.
Section 15.2    Register; Effect of Assignment and Acceptance.  Administrative Agent shall, on behalf of the Borrower, maintain a copy of each Assignment and Acceptance Agreement delivered to it and a register (the Register) for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders and the principal amount of the Loan owing to each Lender from time to time.  The entries in the Register shall be conclusive, in the absence of manifest error, and the Borrower, each Lender and the Administrative Agent shall treat each person whose name is recorded in the Register as the owner of the Loans for all purposes of this Agreement.  From and 

126




 


after the date that the Administrative Agent notifies the assignor Lender and the Borrower that it has received an executed Assignment and Acceptance Agreement and payment of the above-referenced processing fee, and the assignment has been recorded in the Register:  (i) the Assignee thereunder shall be a party hereto and, to the extent that rights and obligations hereunder and under the other Loan Documents have been assigned to it pursuant to such Assignment and Acceptance Agreement, shall have the rights and obligations of a Lender under the Loan Documents, (ii) the assignor Lender shall, to the extent that rights and obligations hereunder and under the other Loan Documents have been assigned by it pursuant to such Assignment and Acceptance Agreement, relinquish its rights and be released from its obligations under the Loan Documents (but shall be entitled to indemnification as otherwise provided in this Agreement with respect to any events occurring prior to the assignment) and (iii) this Agreement shall be deemed to be amended to the extent, but only to the extent, necessary to reflect the addition of the Assignee and the resulting adjustment of the Percentage Shares resulting therefrom.
Section 15.3    Substitute Notes.  Within five Business Days after its receipt of notice by the Administrative Agent that it has received an executed Assignment and Acceptance Agreement and payment of the processing fee (which notice shall also be sent by the Administrative Agent to each Lender), the Borrower shall, if requested by the Assignee, execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent, a new Note evidencing such Assignee’s Percentage Share of the Loan, and the existing Note which such new Note replaces shall be returned to Borrower.
Section 15.4    Participations.  Any Lender may at any time sell to one or more commercial banks, insurance companies or other Persons not Affiliates of the Borrower (a Participant) participating interests in the Loan and the other interests of that Lender (the originating Lender) hereunder and under the other Loan Documents; provided, however, that (i) the originating Lender’s obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (ii) the originating Lender shall remain solely responsible for the performance of such obligations, and (iii) the Borrower and the Administrative Agent shall continue to deal solely and directly with the originating Lender in connection with the originating Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.  In the case of any such participation, the Participant shall be entitled to the benefit of Sections 2.2.5, 2.2.6, 2.2.8 and 2.2.9 (and subject to the burdens of Sections 2.2.7, 2.2.9(v) and this Article XV) as though it were also a Lender thereunder, and if amounts outstanding under this Agreement are due and unpaid, or shall have been declared or shall have become due and payable upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, each Participant shall be deemed to have the right of set-off in respect of its participating interest in amounts owing under this Agreement to the same extent as if the amount of its participating interest were owing directly to it as a Lender under this Agreement, and Section 19.19 of this Agreement shall apply to such Participant as if it were a Lender party hereto.  
Each Lender that sells a participation shall, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of the 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 Loans 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 

127




 


(including the identity of any Participant or any information relating to a Participant's interest in any commitments, loans, letters of credit or its other obligations under any Loan Document) to any Person except to the extent that such disclosure is necessary to establish that such commitment, loan, letter of credit or other obligation is in registered form under Treasury Regulations Section 5f.103-1(c).  The entries in the Participant Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and such Lender shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Participant Register as the owner of such participation for all purposes of this Agreement notwithstanding any notice to the contrary.  For the avoidance of doubt, the Administrative Agent (in its capacity as Administrative Agent) shall have no responsibility for maintaining a Participant Register.
Section 15.5    Security Interest in Favor of Federal Reserve Bank.  Notwithstanding any other provision contained in this Agreement or any other Loan Document to the contrary, any Lender may assign all or any portion of its Percentage Share of the Loan held by it to any Federal Reserve Lender or the United States Treasury as collateral security pursuant to Regulation A of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System and any Operating Circular issued by such Federal Reserve Lender, provided that any payment in respect of such assigned Percentage Share of the Loan made by the Borrower to or for the account of the assigning and/or pledging Lender in accordance with the terms of this Agreement shall satisfy the Borrower’s obligations hereunder in respect to such assigned Percentage Share of the Loan to the extent of such payment.  No such assignment shall release the assigning Lender from its obligations hereunder. 
Section 15.6    Redirection Notice.  Upon Administrative Agent’s receipt of written notice (a “Redirection Notice”) by a Pledgee that the pledging Lender is in default, beyond applicable cure periods, under pledging Lender’s obligations to Pledgee pursuant to the applicable credit agreement between pledging Lender and Pledgee (which notice need not be joined in or confirmed by pledging Lender), and until such Redirection Notice is withdrawn or rescinded by Pledgee, Administrative Agent shall remit to Pledgee and not to pledging Lender, any payments that Administrative Agent would otherwise be obligated to pay to pledging Lender from time to time pursuant to this Agreement or any Loan Document.  Each pledging Lender hereby unconditionally and absolutely releases Administrative Agent from any liability to pledging Lender on account of Administrative Agent’s compliance with any Redirection Notice believed by Administrative Agent to have been delivered by Pledgee.
Section 15.7    Intentionally Omitted.  
Section 15.8    Pfandbrief Appraisal.  In connection with any assignment, pledge or transfer of a Lender’s interest in the Loan to a Pfandbrief, such Lender, at its own expense, may order an Appraisal, and Administrative Agent will reasonably cooperate, at such Lender’s expense, in coordinating the same with Borrower to the extent necessary to obtain such Appraisal.

	RESERVE ACCOUNTS


Section 16.1    Tax Reserve Account.  In accordance with the time periods set forth in Section 3.1, and during any period when the Manager is not reserving for Impositions and Other Charges, Borrower shall deposit into the Tax Reserve Account an amount equal to (a) one-twelfth of the annual Impositions that Administrative Agent reasonably estimates, based on the most recent tax bill for the Property, will be payable during the next ensuing twelve (12) months in order to accumulate with Administrative Agent sufficient funds to pay all such Impositions at least twenty (20) days prior to the imposition of any interest, charges or expenses for the non-payment thereof and (b) one-twelfth of the annual Other Charges that Administrative Agent reasonably estimates will be payable during the next ensuing twelve (12) months (said monthly amounts in (a) and (b) above hereinafter called the Monthly Tax Reserve Amount, and the aggregate amount of funds held in the Tax Reserve Account being the Tax Reserve Amount).  As of the Closing Date, the Monthly Tax Reserve Amount is $0.00, but such amount is subject to adjustment by Administrative Agent in accordance with the provisions of this Section 16.1.  The Monthly Tax Reserve Amount shall be paid by Borrower to Administrative Agent on each Payment Date.  Administrative Agent will apply the Monthly Tax Reserve Amount to payments of Impositions and Other Charges required to be made by Borrower pursuant to Article V and Article VII and under the Security Instrument, subject to Borrower’s right to contest Impositions in accordance with Section 7.3.  In making any payment relating to the Tax Reserve Account, Administrative Agent may do so according to any bill, statement or estimate procured from the appropriate public office, without inquiry into the accuracy of such bill, statement or estimate or into the validity of any tax, assessment, sale, forfeiture, tax lien or title or claim thereof.  If the amount of funds in the Tax Reserve Account shall exceed the amounts due for Impositions and Other Charges pursuant to Article V and Article VII, Administrative Agent shall credit such excess against future payments to be made to the Tax Reserve Account.  If at any time Administrative Agent reasonably determines that the Tax Reserve Amount is not or will not be sufficient to pay Impositions and Other Charges by the dates set forth above, Administrative Agent shall notify Borrower of such determination and Borrower shall increase its monthly payments to Administrative Agent by the amount that Administrative Agent reasonably estimates is sufficient to make up the deficiency at least thirty (30) days prior to the imposition of any interest, charges or expenses for the non-payment of the Impositions and Other Charges.  Upon payment of the Impositions and Other Charges, Administrative Agent shall reassess the amount necessary to be deposited in the Tax Reserve Account for the succeeding period, which calculation shall take into account any excess amounts remaining in the Tax Reserve Account. 
Section 16.2    Insurance Reserve Account.  At any time when (a) the insurance required to be maintained pursuant to this Agreement is provided under a blanket policy in accordance with Article VI hereof and the premiums in respect of such blanket policy are not paid or caused to be paid at least 3 months before such premiums become due and payable and (b) Manager does not reserve for or otherwise set aside and pay, in no more than four (4) installments per year, premiums with respect to the Insurance Requirements or following an Insurance Reserve Trigger, Borrower will immediately pay to Administrative Agent for transfer by Administrative Agent to the Holding Account (or if Borrower fails to so pay Administrative 

129




 


Agent, Administrative Agent will transfer from the Holding Account) an amount (the Insurance Reserve Amount) equal to payments of insurance premiums required to be made by Borrower to pay (or to reimburse Borrower or Operating Lessee for) the insurance required pursuant to Article VI and under the Security Instrument.  In addition, at any time when the insurance required to be maintained pursuant to this Agreement is provided under a blanket policy in accordance with Article VI hereof and (a) the premiums in respect of such blanket policy are not paid or caused to be paid at least 3 months before such premiums become due and payable and (b) Manager does not reserve for or otherwise set aside and pay, in no more than four (4) installments per year, premiums with respect to the Insurance Requirements, and otherwise following an Insurance Reserve Trigger, in accordance with the time periods set forth in Section 3.1, Borrower shall deposit into the Insurance Reserve Account an amount equal to one-twelfth of the insurance premiums that Administrative Agent reasonably estimates based on the most recent bill, will be payable for the renewal of the coverage afforded by the insurance policies upon the expiration thereof in order to accumulate with Administrative Agent sufficient funds to pay all such insurance premiums at least twenty (20) days prior to the expiration of the policies required to be maintained by Borrower pursuant to the terms hereof (said monthly amounts hereinafter called the Monthly Insurance Reserve Amount); provided, however, that immediately following an Insurance Reserve Trigger, Borrower will pay to Administrative Agent for transfer by Administrative Agent to the Insurance Reserve Account (or if Borrower fails to so pay Administrative Agent, Administrative Agent will transfer from the Holding Account) an amount equal to payments of insurance premiums required to be made by Borrower to pay (or to reimburse Borrower or Operating Lessee) for the insurance required pursuant to Article  VI and under the Security Instrument.  As of the Closing Date, the Monthly Insurance Reserve Amount is $0.00.  The Monthly Insurance Reserve Amount, if same is payable pursuant to this Section 16.2, shall be paid by Borrower to Administrative Agent on each Payment Date.  Administrative Agent will apply the Monthly Insurance Reserve Amount to payments of insurance premiums required to be made by Borrower to pay for the insurance required pursuant to Article VI and under the Security Instrument.  In making any payment relating to the Insurance Reserve Account, Administrative Agent may do so according to any bill, statement or estimate procured from the insurer or agent, without inquiry into the accuracy of such bill, statement or estimate or into the validity thereof.  If at any time Administrative Agent reasonably determines that the Insurance Reserve Amount is not or will not be sufficient to pay insurance premiums (up to a maximum amount equal to the aggregate annual insurance premium required hereunder), Administrative Agent shall notify Borrower of such determination and Borrower shall increase the Insurance Reserve Amount by the amount that Administrative Agent reasonably estimates is sufficient to make up the deficiency at least thirty (30) days prior to expiration of the applicable insurance policies.  Upon payment of such insurance premiums, Administrative Agent shall reassess the amount necessary to be deposited in the Insurance Reserve Account for the succeeding period, which calculation shall take into account any excess amounts remaining in the Insurance Reserve Account.
Section 16.3    Excess Cash Reserve Account.  In addition to monitoring whether or not a Cash Sweep Period exists due to an Event of Default, following each Fiscal Quarter, Administrative Agent will perform a Debt Yield Test to determine whether a Low Debt Yield Period has occurred and is continuing (it being hereby agreed that all determinations as to 

130




 


whether a Low Debt Yield Period has occurred and is continuing shall be made by Administrative Agent and may be based, among other things, on the financial information delivered by Borrower pursuant to Section 11.2 hereof).  During any Cash Sweep Period, certain monies shall be transferred in accordance with Section 3.1.1 hereof from the Holding Account into the Excess Cash Reserve Account and retained by Administrative Agent as additional security for the Indebtedness and shall be applied or disbursed as provided in Section 3.1.5 and below.  From and after the occurrence and continuation of an Event of Default, Administrative Agent shall have the right to apply any amounts then remaining in the Excess Cash Reserve Accounts to repay the Indebtedness or any other amounts due hereunder or under the other Loan Documents in such order, manner and amount as Administrative Agent shall determine in its sole discretion.  Provided no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, Administrative Agent shall instruct the Cash Management Bank to transfer to Borrower’s Account or to the account of an Affiliate of Borrower as Borrower may direct in writing, free and clear of any Lien or continuing security interest, any amounts remaining in the Excess Cash Reserve Account within ten (10) Business Days after Borrower provides Administrative Agent with evidence satisfactory to Administrative Agent indicating that the Property has achieved the Debt Yield  requirement set forth in subclause (ii) of the definition of Low Debt Yield Period in Section 1.1 hereof.
Section 16.4    Deferred Maintenance Reserve Account. 
In accordance with Section 3.1, upon the request of Borrower, Administrative Agent will, within fifteen (15) Business Days (or such shorter time as may be appropriate in Administrative Agent’s reasonable discretion during emergency situations identified to Administrative Agent by Borrower in writing) after the receipt of such request and the satisfaction of the other conditions set forth in this Section, cause disbursements to Operating Lessee from the Deferred Maintenance Account to pay or to reimburse Operating Lessee or Manager for actual costs incurred in connection with actual expenditures relating to Deferred Maintenance Conditions at the Property (to the extent such expenditures are permitted hereunder), provided that (A) Administrative Agent has received invoices evidencing that the costs for which such disbursements are requested are due and payable and are in respect of capital expenditures relating to Deferred Maintenance Conditions, (B) Operating Lessee has applied any amounts previously received by it in accordance with this Section for the expenses to which specific draws made hereunder relate and received any Lien waivers or other releases which would customarily be obtained with respect to the work in question and (C) Administrative Agent has received an Officer’s Certificate confirming that the conditions in the foregoing clauses (A) and (B) have been satisfied and that the copies of invoices and evidence of Lien waivers (to the extent required above) attached to such Officer’s Certificate are true, complete and correct.  In no event shall Administrative Agent be obligated to disburse funds from the Deferred Maintenance Account if a monetary Default or an Event of Default exists.

In accordance with Section 3.1, and during any period when Manager is not reserving for FF&E or FF&E is not otherwise reserved pursuant to the terms of the Management Agreement, upon the request of Borrower, Administrative Agent will, within fifteen (15) Business Days (or such shorter time as may be

Section 17.2    Remedies.
(A)    Unless waived in writing by Administrative Agent (with the consent of the Required Lenders or Lenders as otherwise provided in this Agreement), upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default (other than an Event of Default described in Section 17.1(vi), (vii) or (viii) above) Administrative Agent may (and at the request of the Required Lenders shall), from time to time without notice or demand, exercise, on behalf of the Lenders, all rights and remedies available to it under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents or at law or in equity, take such action that Administrative Agent deems advisable to protect and enforce its and Lenders rights against Borrower and the Property, including, without limitation, (i) declaring immediately due and payable the entire Principal Amount together with interest thereon and all other sums due by Borrower under the Loan Documents, (ii) collecting interest on the Principal Amount at the Default Rate whether or not the Loan has been accelerated, and (iii) enforcing or availing itself of any or all rights or remedies set forth in the Loan Documents against Borrower and the Property, including, without limitation, all rights or remedies available at law or in equity; and upon any Event of Default described in Section 17.1(vi) or 17.1(vii) above, the Indebtedness and all other obligations of Borrower hereunder and under the other Loan Documents shall immediately and automatically become due and payable, without notice or demand, and Borrower hereby expressly waives any such notice or demand, anything contained herein or in any other Loan Document to the contrary notwithstanding.

Any payment hereunder may be enforced and recovered in whole or in part at such time by one or more of the remedies provided to Administrative Agent in the Loan Documents.
(B)    Unless waived in writing by Administrative Agent, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, all or any one or more of the rights, powers, privileges and other remedies available to 

136




 


Administrative Agent and Lenders against Borrower under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents executed and delivered by, or applicable to, Borrower or at law or in equity may be exercised by Administrative Agent and Lenders at any time and from time to time, whether or not all or any of the Indebtedness 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 Property. Any enforcement or remedial actions taken by Administrative Agent shall be cumulative and concurrent and may be pursued independently, singly, successively, together or otherwise, at such time and in such order as Administrative Agent may determine in its sole discretion, to the fullest extent permitted by law, without impairing or otherwise affecting the other rights and remedies of Administrative Agent permitted by law, equity or contract or as set forth herein or in the other Loan Documents.  Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Borrower agrees that if an Event of Default is continuing (i) Administrative Agent 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 Administrative Agent shall remain in full force and effect until Administrative Agent has exhausted all of its remedies against the Property and the Security Instrument has been foreclosed, sold and/or otherwise realized upon in satisfaction of the Indebtedness or the Indebtedness has been paid in full.

(ii)    in Administrative Agent’s sole discretion, at any time and from time to time, exercise any and all rights and remedies available to it under this Agreement, and/or as a secured party under the UCC;

137




 


(iv)    take all other actions provided in, or contemplated by, this Agreement.
(D)    With respect to Borrower, the Account Collateral, the Rate Cap Collateral and the Property, nothing contained herein or in any other Loan Document shall be construed as requiring Administrative Agent to resort to the Property for the satisfaction of any of the Indebtedness, and Administrative Agent may seek satisfaction out of the Property or any part thereof, in its absolute discretion in respect of the Indebtedness.  In addition, Administrative Agent shall have the right from time to time to partially foreclose this Agreement and the Security Instrument in any manner and for any amounts secured by this Agreement or the Security Instrument then due and payable as determined by Administrative Agent in its sole discretion including, without limitation, the following circumstances:  (i) in the event Borrower defaults beyond any applicable grace period in the payment of one or more scheduled payments of principal or interest, Administrative Agent may foreclose this Agreement and the Security Instrument to recover such delinquent payments, or (ii) in the event Administrative Agent elects to accelerate less than the entire outstanding principal balance of the Loan, Administrative Agent may foreclose this Agreement and the Security Instrument to recover so much of the principal balance of the Loan as Administrative Agent may accelerate and such other sums secured by this Agreement or the Security Instrument as Administrative Agent may elect.  Notwithstanding one or more partial foreclosures, the Property shall remain subject to this Agreement and the Security Instrument to secure payment of sums secured by this Agreement and the Security Instrument and not previously recovered.
Section 17.3    Remedies Cumulative; Waivers.
The rights, powers and remedies of Administrative Agent under this Agreement and the Security Instrument shall be cumulative and not exclusive of any other right, power or remedy which Administrative Agent may have against Borrower pursuant to this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, or existing at law or in equity or otherwise.  Administrative Agent’s rights, powers and remedies may be pursued singly, concurrently or otherwise, at such time and in such order as Administrative Agent may determine in Administrative Agent’s sole discretion.  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 Borrower, Guarantor or any Transaction Party shall not be construed to be a waiver of any subsequent Default or Event of Default by Borrower, Guarantor or any Transaction Party or to impair any remedy, right or power consequent thereon.

138




 


Section 17.4    Costs of Collection.  In the event that after an Event of Default:  (i) the Note or any of the Loan Documents is placed in the hands of an attorney for collection or enforcement or is collected or enforced through any legal proceeding; (ii) an attorney is retained to represent Administrative Agent in any bankruptcy, reorganization, receivership, or other proceedings affecting creditors’ rights and involving a claim under the Note or any of the Loan Documents; or (iii) an attorney is retained to protect or enforce the lien or any of the terms of this Agreement, the Security Instrument or any of the Loan Documents; then Borrower shall pay to Administrative Agent all reasonable attorney’s fees, costs and expenses actually incurred in connection therewith, including costs of appeal, together with interest on any judgment obtained by Administrative Agent at the Default Rate.

BORROWER ACKNOWLEDGES THAT IT HAS CONSULTED WITH LEGAL COUNSEL REGARDING THE MEANING OF THIS WAIVER AND ACKNOWLEDGES THAT THIS WAIVER IS AN ESSENTIAL INDUCEMENT FOR THE MAKING OF THE LOAN.  THIS WAIVER SHALL SURVIVE THE REPAYMENT OF THE LOAN.
Section 19.10    Headings.  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.
Section 19.11    Severability.

Borrower hereby expressly waives the right to receive any notice from Administrative 

148




 


Agent 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 Administrative Agent to Borrower.
Section 19.14    Expenses; Indemnity; No Consequential Damages.

149




 


Administrative Agent.  Any cost and expenses due and payable to Administrative Agent or any Lender may be paid from any amounts in the Collection Account or the Holding Account if same are not paid by Borrower within ten (10) Business Days after receipt of written notice from Administrative Agent. 
(B)    Borrower shall defend (subject to Administrative Agent’s, and in the case of any conflict of interest, the applicable Indemnified Party’s selection of counsel) indemnify and save harmless Administrative Agent, the Lenders, and all of their respective officers, directors, stockholders, members, partners, employees, agents, successors and assigns thereof (collectively, the “Indemnified Parties”) from and against all Liabilities imposed upon or incurred by or asserted against the Indemnified Parties or the Property or any part of its interest therein, by reason of the occurrence or existence of any of the following (to the extent Proceeds payable on account of the following shall be inadequate; it being understood that in no event will the Indemnified Parties be required to actually pay or incur any costs or expenses as a condition to the effectiveness of the foregoing indemnity):  (1) ownership of Borrower’s and/or Operating Lessee’s interest in the Property, or any interest therein, or receipt of any Rents or other sum therefrom, (2) any accident, injury to or death of any persons or loss of or damage to property occurring on or about the Property or any Appurtenances (as defined in the Security Instrument) thereto, (3) any design, construction, operation, repair, maintenance, use, non-use or condition of the Property or any Appurtenances (as defined in the Security Instrument) thereto, including claims or penalties arising from violation of any Legal Requirement or Insurance Requirement, as well as any claim based on any patent or latent defect, whether or not discoverable by Administrative Agent, any claim the insurance as to which is inadequate, and any Environmental Claim, (4) any Default under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents or any failure on the part of Borrower or Operating Lessee to perform or comply with any of the terms of any Lease within the applicable notice or grace periods, (5) any performance of any labor or services or the furnishing of any materials or other property in respect of the Property or any part thereof, (6) any negligence or tortious act or omission on the part of Borrower, Operating Lessee or any of their respective agents, contractors, servants, employees, sublessees, licensees or invitees, (7) any contest referred to in Section 7.3 hereof, (8) any obligation or undertaking relating to the performance or discharge of any of the terms, covenants and conditions of the landlord contained in the Leases, or (9) except as may be expressly limited herein, the presence at, in or under the Property or the Improvements of any Hazardous Materials in violation of any Environmental Law.  Any amounts the Indemnified Parties are legally entitled to 

150




 


receive under this Section which are not paid within fifteen (15) Business Days after written demand therefor by the Indemnified Parties or Administrative Agent, setting forth in reasonable detail the amount of such demand and the basis therefore, shall bear interest from the date of demand at the Default Rate, and shall, together with such interest, be part of the Indebtedness and secured by the Security Instrument.  In case any action, suit or proceeding is brought against the Indemnified Parties by reason of any such occurrence, Borrower shall, at Borrower's expense resist and defend such action, suit or proceeding or will cause the same to be resisted and defended by counsel at Borrower's reasonable expense for the insurer of the liability or by counsel designated by Borrower (unless reasonably disapproved by Administrative Agent promptly after Administrative Agent has been notified of such counsel); provided, however, that nothing herein shall compromise the right of Administrative Agent (or any Indemnified Party) to appoint its own counsel at Borrower's expense for its defense with respect to any action which in its reasonable opinion presents a conflict or potential conflict between Administrative Agent (or any Indemnified Party) and Borrower that would make such separate representation advisable; provided further that if Administrative Agent (or any Indemnified Party) shall have appointed separate counsel pursuant to the foregoing, Borrower shall not be responsible for the expense of additional separate counsel of any Indemnified Party unless in the reasonable opinion of Administrative Agent (or such Indemnified Party) a conflict or potential conflict exists between such Indemnified Party and Administrative Agent.  So long as Borrower is resisting and defending such action, suit or proceeding as provided above in a prudent and commercially reasonable manner, Lender and the Indemnified Parties shall not be entitled to settle such action, suit or proceeding without Borrower's consent which shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned, and claim the benefit of this Section with respect to such action, suit or proceeding and Administrative Agent agrees that it will not settle any such action, suit or proceeding without the consent of Borrower; provided, however, that if Borrower is not diligently defending such action, suit or proceeding in a prudent and commercially reasonable manner as provided above, and Administrative Agent (or applicable Indemnified Party) has provided Borrower with thirty (30) days' prior written notice, or shorter period if mandated by the requirements of applicable law, and opportunity to correct such determination, Administrative Agent (or applicable Indemnified Party) may settle such action, suit or proceeding and claim the benefit of this Section 19.14 with respect to settlement of such action, suit or proceeding.  Any Indemnified Party will give Borrower prompt notice after such Indemnified Party obtains actual knowledge of any 

151




 


potential claim by such Indemnified Party for indemnification hereunder.  The Indemnified Parties shall not settle or compromise any action, proceeding or claim as to which it is indemnified hereunder without notice to Borrower.
(C)    To the extent permitted by applicable law, no Transaction Party shall assert, and Borrower hereby waives, any claim against Administrative Agent, each Lender, each Agent, and their respective Affiliates, directors, employees, attorneys, agents or sub-agents, on any theory of liability, for special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages  (as opposed to direct or actual damages) (whether or not the claim therefor is based on contract, tort or duty imposed by any applicable legal requirement) arising out of, in connection with, as a result of, or in any way related to, this Agreement or any Loan Document or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby or thereby or referred to herein or therein, the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, the Loan or the use of the proceeds thereof or any act or omission or event occurring in connection therewith, and Borrower hereby waives, releases and agrees not to sue upon and shall cause each Transaction Party to waive, release and agree not to sue upon any such claim or any such damages, whether or not accrued and whether or not known or suspected to exist in its favor.
Section 19.15    Exhibits and Schedules Incorporated.  The Exhibits and Schedules 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 19.16    Offsets, Counterclaims and Defenses.  Any assignee of a Lender’s interest in and to this Agreement, the Note and the other Loan Documents shall take the same free and clear of all offsets, counterclaims or defenses which are unrelated to such documents which Borrower may otherwise have against any assignor of such documents, and no such unrelated counterclaim (other than a counterclaim which can only be asserted in the suit, action or proceeding brought by such assignee on this Agreement, the Note, the Security Instrument or any Loan Document and cannot be maintained in a separate action) or defense shall be interposed or asserted by Borrower in any action or proceeding brought by any such assignee upon such documents and any such right to interpose or assert any such unrelated offset, counterclaim or defense in any such action or proceeding is hereby expressly waived by Borrower.
Section 19.17    Liability of Assignees of Lenders.  No assignee of a Lender shall have any personal liability, directly or indirectly, under or in connection with this Agreement or any other Loan Document or any amendment or amendments hereto made at any time or times, heretofore or hereafter, any different than the liability of Lenders hereunder.  In addition, no assignee shall have at any time or times hereafter any personal liability, directly or indirectly, under or in connection with or secured by any agreement, lease, instrument, encumbrance, claim or right affecting or relating to the Property or to which the Property is now or hereafter subject 

152




 


any different than the liability of Lenders hereunder.  The limitation of liability provided in this Section 19.17 is (i) in addition to, and not in limitation of, any limitation of liability applicable to the assignee provided by law or by any other contract, agreement or instrument, and (ii) shall not apply to any assignee’s gross negligence or willful misconduct.
Section 19.18    Sharing of Payments.  If any Lender shall receive and retain any payment, whether by setoff, application of deposit balance or security, or otherwise, in respect of the Obligations in excess of such Lender’s Percentage Share thereof, then such Lender shall purchase from the other Lenders for cash and at face value and without recourse, such participation in the Obligations held by them as shall be necessary to cause such excess payment to be shared ratably as aforesaid with each of them; provided, that if such excess payment or part thereof is thereafter recovered from such purchasing Lender, the related purchases from the other Lenders shall be rescinded ratably and the purchase price restored as to the portion of such excess payment so recovered, but without interest.  Each Lender is hereby authorized by the Borrower to exercise any and all rights of setoff, counterclaim or bankers’ lien against the full amount of the Obligations, whether or not held by such Lender.  Each Lender hereby agrees to exercise any such rights first against the Obligations and only then to any other Indebtedness of the Borrower to such Lender.
Section 19.19    Set-off.  In addition to any rights and remedies of the Lenders provided by law, if an Event of Default exists, each Lender is authorized at any time and from time to time, without prior notice to the Borrower, any such notice being waived by the Borrower to the fullest extent permitted by law, to set off and apply in favor of the Lenders any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final) at any time held by, and other indebtedness at any time owing to, such Lender to or for the credit or the account of the Borrower against any and all Obligations owing to the Lenders, now or hereafter existing, irrespective of whether or not the Administrative Agent or such Lender shall have made demand under this Agreement or any Loan Document and although such Obligations may be contingent or unmatured.  Each Lender agrees promptly to (i) notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent after any such set-off and application made by such Lender; provided, however, that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such set-off and application and (ii) pay such amounts that are set-off to the Administrative Agent for the ratable benefit of the Lenders.
		
	Section 19.20
	No Joint Venture or Partnership; No Third Party Beneficiaries.


(A)    Borrower and Administrative Agent intend that the relationships created hereunder and under the other Loan Documents be solely that of borrower and lenders.  Nothing herein or therein is intended to create a joint venture, partnership, tenancy-in-common, or joint tenancy relationship between Borrower and Lenders or Administrative Agent nor to grant Administrative Agent any interest in the Property other than that of mortgagee or beneficiary on behalf of the Lenders.

153




 


(B)    This Agreement and the other Loan Documents are solely for the benefit of Administrative Agent, Lenders and Borrower and nothing contained in this Agreement or the other Loan Documents shall be deemed to confer upon anyone other than Administrative Agent, Lenders and Borrower any right to insist upon or to enforce the performance or observance of any of the obligations contained herein or therein.  All conditions to the obligations of Lenders to make the Loan hereunder are imposed solely and exclusively for the benefit of Lenders and no other Person (other than Administrative Agent on behalf of the Lenders) shall have standing to require satisfaction of such conditions in accordance with their terms or be entitled to assume that Lenders will refuse to make the Loan in the absence of strict compliance with any or all thereof and no other Person (other than Administrative Agent on behalf of the Lenders) shall under any circumstances be deemed to be a beneficiary of such conditions, any or all of which may be freely waived in whole or in part by Administrative Agent if, in Administrative Agent’s sole discretion, Administrative Agent deems it advisable or desirable to do so.
Section 19.21    Publicity.  All news releases, publicity or advertising by Borrower or its Affiliates through any media intended to reach the general public which refers to the Loan Documents or the financing evidenced by the Loan Documents, to Administrative, Lenders, or any of their respective Affiliates shall be subject to the prior written approval of Administrative Agent.

The parties hereto acknowledge that they were represented by competent counsel in connection with the negotiation, drafting and execution of the Loan Documents and that such Loan Documents shall not be subject to the principle of construing their meaning against the party which drafted same.

This Agreement and the other Loan Documents contain the entire agreement of the parties hereto and thereto in respect of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby, and all prior agreements among or between such parties, whether oral or written, are superseded by the terms of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and unless specifically set forth in a writing contemporaneous herewith the terms, conditions and provisions of any and all such prior agreements do not survive execution of this Agreement.

In the event that any payment or any part thereof is so rescinded, reduced, restored or returned, such Obligations and the security interests created herein shall continue to be effective or be reinstated (except to the extent the related collateral has been sold to a bona fide purchaser for value) and deemed reduced only by such amount paid and not so rescinded, reduced, restored or returned.

Upon the occurrence of any event that causes the last remaining member of Borrower to cease to be a member of Borrower or that causes Sole Member to cease to be a member of Borrower (other than (A) upon an assignment by Sole Member of all of its limited liability company interest in Borrower and the admission of the transferee, if permitted pursuant to the organizational documents of Borrower and the Loan Documents, or (B) the resignation of Sole Member and the admission of an additional member of Borrower, if permitted pursuant to the organizational documents of Borrower and the Loan Documents), to the fullest extent permitted by law, the personal representative of such last remaining member shall be authorized to, and shall, within ninety (90) days after the occurrence of the event that terminated the continued membership of such member in Borrower, agree in writing (I) to continue the existence of Borrower, and (II) to the admission of the personal representative or its nominee or designee, as the case may be, as a substitute member of Borrower, effective as of the occurrence of the event that terminated the continued membership of such member in Borrower

3.    The Opinion shall be in form and substance acceptable to Lender and shall be given in relation to Borrower, Guarantor, Manager and any other relevant party to the Loan (each a "Loan Party").  Depending on the nature of the transaction, the Opinion shall address the applicable law of the State of New York, the State where the Property is located and each State where any Loan Party is organized (collectively, the "Relevant States").  To the extent that the Property is located in a jurisdiction outside of the State of New York and/or any Loan Party is organized under a jurisdiction outside the States of New York or Delaware, the appropriate opinions below should be given by local counsel.  The Opinion shall be given on the basis of an examination of an executed original of each completed Loan Document in addition to such other documents or instruments counsel deems relevant.
4.    The Opinion shall contain the following opinions:
Opinions with respect to the law of the State of Formation or Organization of the Loan Parties
		
	(a)
	Each Loan Party is a [Describe Legal Form] duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the State of [State of Organization] and is authorized to do business and in good standing in the State of [State of Organization].


		
	(b)
	Each Loan Party has the requisite power to own its properties and to carry on its business as now being conducted and to enter into the transactions covered by the Loan Documents.


		
	(c)
	The execution and delivery by each Loan Party of each Loan Document to which it is a party has been duly authorized by all necessary partnership, company and/or corporate action, as applicable.  To the extent a party thereto, the Loan Documents have been duly executed and delivered by each Loan Party.


		
	(d)
	The execution, delivery and performance by each Loan Party of the Loan Documents to which it is a party does not: 


		
	(i)
	conflict with or result in a breach of any of the terms, conditions or provisions of, or constitute a default under, the partnership 



D-1








agreement, partnership certificate, articles of incorporation, by-laws, trust agreement or trust certificate, as applicable, of such Loan Party; 
		
	(ii)
	contravene any law, statute or regulation of the United States of America or the [State of Organization] or any agency or political subdivision of either thereof;


		
	(iii)
	violate any order, writ, injunction, or decree of which, after due inquiry, counsel has actual knowledge, issued by any court or governmental authority of the United States of America or the [State of Organization] or any agency or political subdivision of either thereof to which such Loan Party is subject; or 


		
	(iv)
	conflict with or result in any breach of any of the terms or provisions of, or constitute a default under, or result in the creation or imposition of (or the obligation to create or impose) any lien other than the lien of the Loan Documents upon any of the assets or properties of such Loan Party pursuant to the terms of any material indenture, mortgage, deed of trust, agreement, contract or instrument to which such Loan Party is a party or by which it or any of its assets or properties is bound.


		
	(e)
	No order, consent, approval, license or authorization of, or filing, recording or registration with, any governmental or public body or authority of the United States of America or the State of [Relevant State] or any agency or political subdivision of either thereof is required in connection with the execution and delivery of any of the Loan Documents, the validity, binding effect or enforceability of any of the Loan Documents or the consummation of the transactions contemplated thereby.


		
	(f)
	There are no actions, suits or proceedings by or before any court, governmental or regulatory authority or agency of which, after due inquiry, we have actual knowledge pending or threatened against or affecting any Loan Party or Borrower's rights with respect to the Property wherein an adverse ruling or decision, individually or collectively with other such actions, suits or proceedings, is reasonably likely (i) to affect materially and adversely the ability of any Loan Party to consummate the transactions contemplated by the Loan Documents or to perform its obligations under any of the Loan Documents, or (ii) to result in a challenge to the legality, validity, binding effect or enforceability of any of the Loan Documents.


		
	(g)
	To the extent the State of [State of Organization] UCC is applicable to the authorization of the Financing Statement, pursuant to the provisions of the Loan Agreement and the Security Instrument, Borrower has authorized the 



D-2








filing of the Financing Statement for purposes of Section 9-509 of the State of [State of Organization] UCC.
		
	(h)
	To the extent the State of [State of Organization] UCC is applicable, the financing Statement includes not only all of the types of information required by Section 9-502(a) of the State of [State of Organization] UCC but also the types of information without which the Filing Office may refuse to accept the Financing Statement pursuant to Section 9-516 of the State of [State of Organization] UCC.


		
	(i)
	To the extent the State of [State of Organization] UCC is applicable, the security interest of the Secured Party will be perfected in Borrower's rights in all UCC Collateral upon the later of the attachment of the security interest and the filing of the Financing Statement in the Filing Office; provided, however, we express no opinion with respect to (i) money, (ii) deposit accounts, (iii) letter of credit rights, (iv) goods covered by a certificate of title statute, (v) as-extracted collateral, timber to be cut, or (vi) any property subject to a statute, regulation or treaty of the United States whose requirements for a security interest's obtaining priority over the rights of a lien creditor with respect to the property preempt Section 9-310(a) of the State of [State of Organization].  "UCC Collateral" means the portion of the Property (as defined in the Security Instrument), the Rate Cap Collateral, the Account Collateral (as defined in the Loan Agreement) and the Collateral Accounts (as defined in the Account Agreement) to the extent the UCC governs a security interest in such collateral.


		
	(j)
	You have asked whether Borrower is a "registered organization" as such term is defined in Section 9-102(a)(70) of the State of [State of Organization] UCC.  Pursuant to Section 9-102(a)(70) of the State of [State of Organization] UCC, a "registered organization" must be (i) organized solely under the laws of a single State (or the United States) and (ii) the State (or the United States) must maintain a public record showing the organization to have been organized.


Opinions with respect to New York Law
		
	(a)
	To the extent governed by New York law and to the extent a party thereto, the Loan Documents are the legal, valid and binding obligations of each Loan Party, enforceable against such Loan Party in accordance with their terms.


		
	(b)
	The execution, delivery and performance by each Loan Party of the Loan Documents to which it is a party does not: 



D-3








		
	(i)
	contravene any law, statute or regulation of the United States of America or the State of New York or any agency or political subdivision of either thereof;


		
	(ii)
	violate any order, writ, injunction, or decree of which, after due inquiry, counsel has actual knowledge, issued by any court or governmental authority of the United States of America or the State of New York or any agency or political subdivision of either thereof to which such Loan Party is subject; or 


		
	(iii)
	conflict with or result in any breach of any of the terms or provisions of, or constitute a default under, or result in the creation or imposition of (or the obligation to create or impose) any lien other than the lien of the Loan Documents upon any of the assets or properties of such Loan Party pursuant to the terms of any material indenture, mortgage, deed of trust, agreement, contract or instrument to which such Loan Party is a party or by which it or any of its assets or properties is bound.


		
	(c)
	No order, consent, approval, license or authorization of, or filing, recording or registration with, any governmental or public body or authority of the United States of America or the State of New York or any agency or political subdivision of either thereof is required in connection with the execution and delivery of any of the Loan Documents, the validity, binding effect or enforceability of any of the Loan Documents or the consummation of the transactions contemplated thereby.


		
	(d)
	There are no actions, suits or proceedings by or before any court, governmental or regulatory authority or agency of which, after due inquiry, we have actual knowledge pending or threatened against or affecting any Loan Party or Borrower's rights with respect to the Property wherein an adverse ruling or decision, individually or collectively with other such actions, suits or proceedings, is reasonably likely (i) to affect materially and adversely the ability of any Loan Party to consummate the transactions contemplated by the Loan Documents or to perform its obligations under any of the Loan Documents, or (ii) to result in a challenge to the legality, validity, binding effect or enforceability of any of the Loan Documents.


		
	(e)
	The payment by Borrower and receipt by Lender of all principal and interest will not violate the usury laws of the State of New York or otherwise constitute unlawful interest.  


		
	(f)
	The provisions of the Loan Agreement and the Security Instrument are effective to create, in favor of Lender to secure the obligations purported 



D-4








to be secured thereby, a valid security interest in Borrower's rights in the UCC Collateral.
		
	(g)
	Under New York UCC, the provisions of the Account Agreement are effective to perfect the security interest of Lender in Borrower's rights in the Collateral Accounts (as defined in the Account Agreement).  


Opinions with respect to the law of States in which the Property is located
		
	(a)
	Each Loan Party is authorized to do business and in good standing in the State of [Relevant State].


		
	(b)
	To the extent governed by the laws of the State of [Relevant States], the Security Instrument and the Assignment of Leases are the legal, valid and binding obligations of Borrower, enforceable against Borrower in accordance with their terms.


		
	(c)
	The Security Instrument is in proper form so as to comply with recording requirements of the State of [Relevant State].  The Security Instrument creates in favor of Lender valid liens on the portion of the Property that are located in the State of [Relevant States], securing payment of the Obligations (as defined in the Security Instrument), and no further action will be required for the valid creation of such liens.  Upon recordation in the office of the [Recording Office] the Security Instrument will provide constructive notice of the terms thereof and the liens created thereby to third parties acquiring interests in the portion of the Property that are located in the State of [Relevant States] subsequent to such recordation.


		
	(d)
	The Assignment of Leases is in proper form so as to comply with the recording requirements of the State of [Relevant States].  At the time the Assignment of Leases is delivered to the Recording Office for recording, it will take effect as to all creditors and subsequent purchasers for a valuable consideration without notice, and it shall be entitled to priority over any other similar instrument delivered to said Recording Office for recording after that time, in the absence of actual notice.


		
	(e)
	Pursuant to the provisions of the Security Instrument Borrower has authorized the filing of the Fixture Financing Statement identifying the Fixture Collateral for purposes of Section 9-509 of the [Relevant States] UCC.  "Fixture Collateral" means that portion of the UCC Collateral which consists of "fixtures" (as defined in Article 9 of the UCC) to the extent the UCC governs a security interest in such collateral.


		
	(f)
	The Fixture Financing Statement includes not only all the types of information required by Section 9-502(a) and 9-502(b) of the [Relevant States] UCC but also the types of information without which the Fixture 



D-5








Filing Office may refuse  to accept the Fixture Financing Statement pursuant to Section 9-516 of the State of [Relevant States] UCC.
		
	(g)
	Under the [Relevant States] UCC, the security interest of the Secured Party will be perfected in Borrower's rights in any Fixture Collateral located on the real property described on Schedule 1 to the Fixture Financing Statement upon the later of the attachment of the security interest and the filing of the Fixture Financing Statement in the Fixture Filing Office.


		
	(h)
	Borrower has paid all recording tax due in connection with the recording of the Security Instrument and the Assignment of Leases.  No additional deed of trust recording, intangibles tax, documentary stamp tax or similar taxes or charges, other than nominal recordation or filing fees, are required to be paid as a condition of the legality of enforceability of the Security Instrument or the Assignment of Leases.


		
	(i)
	The State of [Relevant States] has no law pursuant to which a lien against any assets or properties of Borrower (whether real, personal, mixed, tangible or intangible) superior to the lien created by the Security Instrument could arise as a result of a violation of environmental laws or regulations of such State.  No environmental law or regulation of the State of [Relevant States] would require any remedial or removal action or certification of nonapplicability as a condition to the granting of the Security Instrument, the foreclosure or other enforcement of the Loan Documents or the sale of any assets or properties of Borrower (whether real, personal, mixed, tangible or intangible) located in the State of [Relevant States].


		
	(j)
	No order, consent, approval, license or authorization of, or filing, recording or registration with, any governmental or public body or authority of the United States of America or the State of [Relevant States] or any agency or political subdivision of either thereof is required in connection with the execution and delivery of any of the Loan Documents, the validity, binding effect or enforceability of any of the Loan Documents or the consummation of the transactions contemplated thereby.


		
	(k)
	There are no actions, suits or proceedings by or before any court, governmental or  regulatory authority or agency of which, after due inquiry, we have actual knowledge pending or threatened against or affecting any Loan Party or Borrower's rights with respect to the Property wherein an adverse ruling or decision, individually or collectively with other such actions, suits or proceedings, is reasonably likely (i) to affect materially and adversely the ability of any Loan Party to consummate the transactions contemplated by the Loan Documents or to perform its obligations under any of the Loan Documents, or (ii) to result in a 



D-6








challenge to the legality, validity, binding effect or enforceability of any of the Loan Documents.
		
	(l)
	If the Obligations (as defined in the Security Instrument) were to be governed by the laws of the State of [Relevant States], the payment by Borrower and receipt by Lender of all principal and interest will not violate the usury laws of the State of [Relevant States] or otherwise constitute unlawful interest.  


		
	(m)
	A federal court sitting in the State of [Relevant States] and applying the conflict of law rules of the State of [Relevant States], and the state courts in the State of [Relevant States], would give effect to the choice of law provisions contained in the Loan Documents. If counsel is not able to give this opinion as an unqualified opinion, an opinion that the Loan Agreement and Note would be enforceable under the law of the State of [Relevant States] if such law were held to apply will be required.


		
	(n)
	The operation of any term of the Loan Documents, including, without limitation, the terms regarding late charges, default interest or prepayment premiums, or the lawful exercise of any right thereunder, shall not render the Loan Documents unenforceable, in whole or in part, or subject to any right of rescission, set-off, counterclaim or defense.


5.    The Opinion shall be addressed to Lender and its successors and assigns and shall state that it may be relied upon by (i) any assignee of Lender's interest in the Loan, (ii) any servicer of the Loan, (iii) any purchaser of the Loan or any portion thereof in any Securitization, (iv) any Rating Agency involved in a Securitization of the Loan, (v) the issuer of securities in a Securitization of the Loan, and (vi) any trustee or servicer appointed in connection with a Securitization of the Loan.

Depending on the circumstances and nature of the transaction structure, a non-affiliated entity, such as a third party property manager, shall be included as a Relevant Entity if required by the Rating Agencies.
4.    The Nonconsolidation Opinion shall state that, in the event that any Relevant Entity were to be a debtor in a case under the Bankruptcy Code, it is counsel's opinion that, under present reported decisional authority and statutes applicable to federal bankruptcy cases, in a properly presented and argued case, a court would not, in the proper exercise of its equitable discretion, disregard the separate existence of Borrower or any SPE Entity so as to order substantive consolidation under the Bankruptcy Code of the assets and liabilities of such Relevant Entity with the assets and liabilities of either Borrower or any SPE Entity and treat such assets and liabilities as though either Borrower and such Relevant Entity or any SPE Entity and such Relevant Entity were one entity.
5.    The Nonconsolidation Opinion shall be addressed to Lender and its successors and assigns and shall state that it may be relied upon by (i) any assignee of Lender's interest in the Loan, (ii) any participant of Lender's interest in the Loan, (iii) any servicer of the Loan, (iv) any purchaser of the Loan or any portion thereof in any Securitization, (v) any Rating Agency involved in a Securitization of the Loan, (vi) the issuer of securities in a Securitization of the Loan, and (vii) any trustee or servicer appointed in connection with a Securitization of the Loan.
DELAWARE BANKRUPTCY OPINIONS
As a general rule, the following opinions are required with respect to any single-member Delaware limited liability companies (having independent members/managers) in the organizational structure:
		
	1.
	An opinion of Delaware counsel that federal bankruptcy court would hold that Delaware law, and not federal law, governs the determination of what 



E-1








persons or entities have authority to file a voluntary bankruptcy petition on behalf of the limited liability company.
		
	2.
	Opinions of Delaware counsel as follows:


		
	a.
	The limited liability company agreement constitutes a legal, valid and binding agreement of its member, and is enforceable against such member, in accordance with its terms.


		
	b.
	In order for a voluntary bankruptcy petition to be filed on behalf of the Company, the unanimous consent of all of the independent managers/members is required and the provision requiring such unanimous consent in the limited liability company agreement constitutes a legal, valid and binding agreement of the member, enforceable against the member, in accordance with its terms.


		
	c.
	The bankruptcy or dissolution of the limited liability company's sole member will not, by itself, cause the limited liability company to be dissolved or its affairs to be wound up.


		
	d.
	A judgment creditor of the member may not satisfy its claims against the member by asserting a claim against the assets of the limited liability company.


		
	e.
	The limited liability company is a separate legal entity, and shall continue as such until the cancellation of the limited liability company certificate.

SUBORDINATION, 
NON-DISTURBANCE AND ATTORNMENT AGREEMENT 

THIS AGREEMENT made as of this ___ day of June, 2014, between DEUTSCHE BANK AG NEW YORK BRANCH, as Administrative Agent on behalf of the Lenders, a New York banking corporation, having an address at 31 West 52nd Street, New York, New York 10019 (hereinafter called "Lender"), and ________, a __________________, having an address at __________________ (hereinafter called "Tenant").
W I T N E S S E T H:
WHEREAS, by a lease (the "Original Lease") dated ________, 200_ between _______________ (hereinafter called "Landlord"), as landlord, and Tenant, as tenant, as amended by lease amendment[s] dated ______, 200_, [_________, 200_ and _________, 200_] (the Original Lease, as so amended, is hereinafter the "Lease"), a memorandum of which Lease was dated ____ and was recorded in __________ in Reel ______, Page ___, [add recording data for memoranda of amendments, if applicable], Landlord leased to Tenant certain premises located in ___________________________(the "Premises") on the property described in Schedule "A" annexed hereto and made a part hereof (the "Property"); and
WHEREAS, Lender is about to make a loan to Landlord, which loan shall be secured by, among other things, a mortgage or deed of trust (which mortgage or deed of trust, and all amendments, renewals, increases, modifications, replacements, substitutions, extensions, spreaders and consolidations thereof and all re-advances thereunder and addictions thereto, is referred to as the "Security Instrument") encumbering the Property; and
WHEREAS, Lender and Tenant desire to confirm their understanding and agreement with respect to the Lease and the Security Instrument.
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants and agreements herein contained, Lender and Tenant hereby agree and covenant as follows:

K-2








1.The Lease, and all of the terms, covenants, provisions and conditions thereof (including, without limitation, any right of first refusal, right of first offer, option or any similar right with respect to the sale or purchase of the Property, or any portion thereof) is, shall be and shall at all times remain and continue to be subject and subordinate in all respects to the lien, terms, covenants, provisions and conditions of the Security Instrument and to all advances and re-advances made thereunder and all sums secured thereby.  This provision shall be self-operative but Tenant shall execute and deliver any additional instruments which Lender may reasonably require to effect such subordination.
2.So long as (i) Tenant is not in default (beyond any period given in the Lease to Tenant to cure such default) in the payment of rent, percentage rent or additional rent or in the performance or observance of any of the other terms, covenants, provisions or conditions of the Lease on Tenant's part to be performed or observed, (ii) Tenant is not in default under this Agreement and (iii) the Lease is in full force and effect: (a) Tenant's possession of the Premises and Tenant's rights and privileges under the Lease, or any extensions or renewals thereof which may be effected in accordance with any option therefor which is contained in the Lease, shall not be diminished or interfered with by Lender, and Tenant's occupancy of the Premises shall not be disturbed by Lender for any reason whatsoever during the term of the Lease or any such extensions or renewals thereof and (b) Lender will not join Tenant as a party defendant in any action or proceeding to foreclose the Security Instrument or to enforce any rights or remedies of Lender under the Security Instrument which would cut-off, destroy, terminate or extinguish the Lease or Tenant's interest and estate under the Lease (except to the extent required so that Tenant's right to receive or set-off any monies or obligations owed or to be performed by any of Lender's predecessors-in-interest shall not be enforceable thereafter against Lender or any of Lender's successors-in-interest).  Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this paragraph, if it would be procedurally disadvantageous for Lender not to name or join Tenant as a party in a foreclosure proceeding with respect to the Security Instrument, Lender may so name or join Tenant without in any way diminishing or otherwise affecting the rights and privileges granted to, or inuring to the benefit of, Tenant under this Agreement.

K-3








3.(A)  After notice is given by Lender that the Security Instrument is in default and that the rentals under the Lease should be paid to Lender, Tenant will attorn to Lender and pay to Lender, or pay in accordance with the directions of Lender, all rentals and other monies due and to become due to Landlord under the Lease or otherwise in respect of the Premises.  Such payments shall be made regardless of any right of set-off, counterclaim or other defense which Tenant may have against Landlord, whether as the tenant under the Lease or otherwise.
(B)  In addition, if Lender (or its nominee or designee) shall succeed to the rights of Landlord under the Lease through possession or foreclosure action, delivery of a deed or otherwise, or another person purchases the Property or the portion thereof containing the Premises upon or following foreclosure of the Security Instrument or in connection with any bankruptcy case commenced by or against Landlord, then at the request of Lender (or its nominee or designee) or such purchaser (Lender, its nominees and designees, and such purchaser, and their respective successors and assigns, each being a "Successor-Landlord"), Tenant shall attorn to and recognize Successor-Landlord as Tenant's landlord under the Lease and shall promptly execute and deliver any instrument that Successor-Landlord may reasonably request to evidence such attornment.  Upon such attornment, the Lease shall continue in full force and effect as, or as if it were, a direct lease between Successor-Landlord and Tenant upon all terms, conditions and covenants as are set forth in the Lease.  If the Lease shall have terminated by operation of law or otherwise as a result of or in connection with a bankruptcy case commenced by or against Landlord or a foreclosure action or proceeding or delivery of a deed in lieu, upon request of Successor-Landlord, Tenant shall promptly execute and deliver a direct lease with Successor-Landlord which direct lease shall be on substantially the same terms and conditions as the Lease (subject, however, to the provisions of clauses (i)-(v) of this paragraph 3(B)) and shall be effective as of the day the Lease shall have terminated as aforesaid.  Notwithstanding the continuation of the Lease, the attornment of Tenant thereunder or the execution of a direct lease between Successor-Landlord and Tenant as aforesaid, Successor-Landlord shall not:
(i)be liable for any previous act or omission of Landlord under the Lease;
(ii)be subject to any off-set, defense or counterclaim which shall have theretofore accrued to Tenant against Landlord;
(iii)be bound by any modification of the Lease or by any previous prepayment of rent or additional rent made more than one (1) month prior to the date same was due which Tenant might have paid to Landlord, unless such modification or prepayment shall have been expressly approved in writing by Lender;
(iv)be liable for any security deposited under the Lease unless such security has been physically delivered to Lender or Successor-Landlord; and 

K-4








(v)be liable or obligated to comply with or fulfill any of the obligations of the Landlord under the Lease or any agreement relating thereto with respect to the construction of, or payment for, improvements on or above the Premises (or any portion thereof), leasehold improvements, tenant work letters and/or similar items.
4.Tenant agrees that without the prior written consent of Lender, it shall not (a) amend, modify, terminate or cancel the Lease or any extensions or renewals thereof, (b) tender a surrender of the Lease, (c) make a prepayment of any rent or additional rent more than one (1) month in advance of the due date thereof, or (d) subordinate or permit the subordination of the Lease to any lien subordinate to the Security Instrument.  Any such purported action without such consent shall be void as against the holder of the Security Instrument.
5.(A)    Tenant shall promptly notify Lender of any default by Landlord under the Lease and of any act or omission of Landlord which would give Tenant the right to cancel or terminate the Lease or to claim a partial or total eviction.
(B)    In the event of a default by Landlord under the Lease which would give Tenant the right, immediately or after the lapse of a period of time, to cancel or terminate the Lease or to claim a partial or total eviction, or in the event of any other act or omission of Landlord which would give Tenant the right to cancel or terminate the Lease, Tenant shall not exercise such right (i) until Tenant has given written notice of such default, act or omission to Lender and (ii) unless Lender has failed, within sixty (60) days after Lender receives such notice, to cure or remedy the default, act or omission or, if such default, act or omission shall be one which is not reasonably capable of being remedied by Lender within such sixty (60) day period, until a reasonable period for remedying such default, act or omission shall have elapsed following the giving of such notice and following the time when Lender shall have become entitled under the Security Instrument to remedy the same (which reasonable period shall in no event be less than the period to which Landlord would be entitled under the Lease or otherwise, after similar notice, to effect such remedy), provided that Lender shall with due diligence give Tenant written notice of its intention to and shall commence and continue to, remedy such default, act or omission.  If Lender cannot reasonably remedy a default, act or omission of Landlord until after Lender obtains possession of the Premises, Tenant may not terminate or cancel the Lease or claim a partial or total eviction by reason of such default, act or omission until the expiration of a reasonable period necessary for the remedy after Lender secures possession of the Premises.  To the extent Lender incurs any expenses or other costs in curing or remedying such default, act or omission, including, without limitation, attorneys' fees and disbursements, Lender shall be subrogated to Tenant's rights against Landlord.
(C)    Notwithstanding the foregoing, Lender shall have no obligation hereunder to remedy such default, act or omission.

K-5








6.To the extent that the Lease shall entitle Tenant to notice of the existence of any mortgage and the identity of any mortgagee or any ground lessor, this Agreement shall constitute such notice to Tenant with respect to the Security Instrument and Lender.
7.Upon and after the occurrence of a default under the Security Instrument, which is not cured after any applicable notice and/or cure periods, Lender shall be entitled, but not obligated, to exercise the claims, rights, powers, privileges and remedies of Landlord under the Lease and shall be further entitled to the benefits of, and to receive and enforce performance of, all of the covenants to be performed by Tenant under the Lease as though Lender were named therein as Landlord.
8.Anything herein or in the Lease to the contrary notwithstanding, in the event that a Successor-Landlord shall acquire title to the Property or the portion thereof containing the Premises, Successor-Landlord shall have no obligation, nor incur any liability, beyond Successor-Landlord's then interest, if any, in the Property, and Tenant shall look exclusively to such interest, if any, of Successor-Landlord in the Property for the payment and discharge of any obligations imposed upon Successor-Landlord hereunder or under the Lease, and Successor-Landlord is hereby released or relieved of any other liability hereunder and under the Lease.  Tenant agrees that, with respect to any money judgement which may be obtained or secured by Tenant against Successor-Landlord, Tenant shall look solely to the estate or interest owned by Successor-Landlord in the Property, and Tenant will not collect or attempt to collect any such judgement out of any other assets of Successor-Landlord.
9.Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Lease, Tenant agrees for the benefit of Landlord and Lender that, except as permitted by, and fully in accordance with, applicable law, Tenant shall not generate, store, handle, discharge or maintain in, on or about any portion of the Property, any asbestos, polychlorinated biphenyls, or any other hazardous or toxic materials, wastes and substances which are defined, determined or identified as such (including, but not limited to, pesticides and petroleum products if they are defined, determined or identified as such) in any federal, state or local laws, rules or regulations (whether now existing or hereafter enacted or promulgated) or any judicial or administrative interpretation of any thereof, including any judicial or administrative interpretation of any thereof, including any judicial or administrative orders or judgments.
10.If the Lease provides that Tenant is entitled to expansion space, Successor-Landlord shall have no obligation nor any liability for failure to provide such expansion space if a prior landlord (including, without limitation, Landlord), by reason of a lease or leases entered into by such prior landlord with other tenants of the Property, has precluded the availability of such expansion space.

K-6








11.Except as specifically provided in this Agreement, Lender shall not, by virtue of this Agreement, the Security Instrument or any other instrument to which Lender may be a party, be or become subject to any liability or obligation to Tenant under the Lease or otherwise.
12.(A)    Tenant acknowledges and agrees that this Agreement satisfies and complies in all respects with the provisions of Article __ of the Lease and that this Agreement supersedes (but only to the extent inconsistent with) the provisions of such Article and any other provision of the Lease relating to the priority or subordination of the Lease and the interests or estates created thereby to the Security Instrument.
(B)    Tenant agrees to enter into a subordination, non-disturbance and attornment agreement with any lender which shall succeed Lender as lender with respect to the Property, or any portion thereof, provided such agreement is substantially similar to this Agreement.  Tenant does herewith irrevocably appoint and constitute Lender as its true and lawful attorney-in-fact in its name, place and stead to execute such subordination, non-disturbance and attornment agreement, without any obligation on the part of Lender to do so.  This power, being coupled with an interest, shall be irrevocable as long as the Indebtedness secured by the Security Instrument remains unpaid.  Lender agrees not to exercise its rights under the preceding two sentences if Tenant promptly enters into the subordination, non-disturbance and attornment agreement as required pursuant to the first sentence of this subparagraph (B).
13.    (A)    Any notice required or permitted to be given by Tenant to Landlord shall be simultaneously given also to Lender, and any right to Tenant dependent upon notice shall take effect only after notice is so given.  Performance by Lender shall satisfy any conditions of the Lease requiring performance by Landlord, and Lender shall have a reasonable time to complete such performance as provided in Paragraph 5 hereof.
(B)    All notices or other communications required or permitted to be given to Tenant or to Lender pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement shall be in writing and shall be deemed given only if mailed by United States registered mail, postage prepaid, or if sent by nationally recognized overnight delivery service (such as Federal Express or United States Postal Service Express Mail), addressed as follows:  to Tenant, at the address first set forth above, Attention:  __________; to Lender, at the address first set forth above, Attention:_______________ and General Counsel, with a copy to Skadden, Arps, Slate, Meagher & Flom LLP, Four Times Square, New York, New York 10036, Attention: Audrey Sokoloff, Esq.; or to such other address or number as such party may hereafter designate by notice delivered in accordance herewith.  All such notices shall be deemed given three (3) business days after delivery to the United States Post office registry clerk if given by registered mail, or on the next business day after delivery to an overnight delivery courier. 

K-7








14.    This Agreement may be modified only by an agreement in writing signed by the parties hereto, or their respective successors-in-interest.  This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the parties hereto, and their respective successors and assigns.  The term "Lender" shall mean the then holder of the Security Instrument.  The term "Landlord" shall mean the then holder of the landlord's interest in the Lease.

Any inconsistency between the Lease and the provisions of this Agreement shall be resolved, to the extent of such inconsistency, in favor of this Agreement.
15.    Tenant hereby represents to Lender as follows:
(a)The Lease is in full force and effect and has not been further amended.
(b)There has been no assignment of the Lease or subletting of any portion of the premises demised under the Lease.

(f)To the best of Tenant's knowledge, there is no present assignment, hypothecation or pledge of the Lease or rents accruing under the Lease by Landlord, other than pursuant to the Security Instrument.

Whenever, from time to time, reasonably requested by Lender (but not more than three (3) times during any calendar year), Tenant shall execute and deliver to or at the direction of Lender, and without charge to Lender, one or more written certifications, in a form acceptable to Tenant, of all of the matters set forth in Paragraph 15 above, and any other information the Lender may reasonably require to confirm the current status of the Lease.
