any proceeds remain after satisfying clauses (i) through (iv) above, for such other general and lawful corporate purpose as Borrower shall designate, provided such purpose does not violate the terms of any Loan Documents.
Section 2.2    Interest Rate.
2.2.1    Interest Rate. Interest on the Outstanding Principal Balance shall accrue throughout the Term at the Interest Rate.
2.2.2    Default Rate. In the event that, and for so long as, any Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Outstanding Principal Balance and, to the extent not prohibited by applicable law, all other portions of the Debt, shall accrue interest at the Default Rate, calculated from the date such payment was due or such Default shall have occurred without regard to any grace or cure periods contained herein. Interest at the Default Rate shall be paid immediately upon demand, which demand may be made as frequently as Lender shall elect, to the extent not prohibited by applicable law.
2.2.3    Interest Calculation.

(ii)    Upon the defeasance of the Loan under this Section 2.4.2(b), Borrower may, or at option of Lender shall, assign all of its Obligations, together with the pledged Defeasance Collateral, to a successor entity designated by Lender in its sole discretion or, at the option of Lender, designated by Borrower and approved by Lender (in each case, the “Successor Borrower”).

Such successor 

32

Additionally, Borrower shall pay all costs and expenses incurred by Successor Borrower, including attorneys’ fees and expenses, incurred in connection therewith.

Upon such assumption, Borrower shall be relieved of its Obligations hereunder, under the other Loan Documents and under the Defeasance Security Agreement other than those Obligations which are specifically intended to survive the termination, satisfaction or assignment of this Agreement or the exercise of Lender’s rights and remedies hereunder.
(iii)    Appointment as Attorney in Fact. Upon the defeasance of the Loan in accordance with clauses (i) and (ii) of this Section 2.4.2(b), Borrower shall have no further right to prepay the Note pursuant to the other provisions of this Section 2.4.2(b) or otherwise. In connection with the conditions set forth in this Section 2.4.2(b), Borrower hereby appoints Lender as its agent and attorney-in-fact for the purpose of purchasing the Defeasance Collateral with funds provided by Borrower. Borrower shall pay any and all expenses incurred in the purchase of the Defeasance Collateral and any revenue, documentary stamp or intangible taxes or any other tax or charge due in connection with the transfer of the Note or otherwise required to accomplish the agreements of this Section 2.4.2(b).
(iv)    Release of Reserve Funds. Upon the defeasance of the Loan in accordance with clauses (i) and (ii) of this Section 2.4.2(b) and Borrower's payment of the expenses as set forth in clause (iii) of this Section 2.4.2(b),  Lender shall cause Servicer to promptly release any and all Reserve Funds in Servicer's control and possession but no later than five (5) Business Days after the Release Date and the satisfaction of the requirements of this Section 2.4.2(b). 
2.4.3    Open Prepayment. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, and provided that Borrower shall deliver to Lender a Prepayment Notice, Borrower may prepay the entire principal balance of the Note and any other amounts outstanding under the Note, this Agreement, or any of the other Loan Documents, without payment of the Prepayment Fee or any other prepayment premium, penalty or fee, on any Business Day on or after the Open Prepayment Date (the Open Prepayment Date being the "Commencement of the Open Period"). If such prepayment is not made on a Monthly Payment Date, Fee Borrower shall also pay interest that would have accrued on the principal balance of the Note to, but not including, the next Monthly Payment Date.
2.4.4    Mandatory Prepayments. If Lender is not obligated to make Net Proceeds available to Borrower for Restoration, on the next occurring Monthly Payment Date following the date on which (a) Lender actually receives any Net Proceeds, and (b) Lender has determined that such Net Proceeds shall be applied against the Debt, Borrower shall prepay, or authorize Lender to apply Net Proceeds as a prepayment of, the Debt in an amount equal to one hundred percent (100%) of such Net Proceeds. Except during an Event of Default, such Net Proceeds shall be applied by Lender as follows in the following order of priority: First, to all amounts (other than principal and interest) then due and payable under the Loan Documents, including any costs and expenses of Lender in connection with such prepayment; Second; accrued and unpaid interest at the Interest Rate; and Third, to principal. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, so long as no Event of Default is continuing, no Prepayment Fee or any other prepayment premium, penalty or fee shall be due in connection with any prepayment made pursuant to this Section 2.4.4. 

33

    

2.4.5    Prepayments After Default. If, during the continuance of an Event of Default, payment of all or any part of the Debt is tendered by Fee Borrower and accepted by Lender or is otherwise recovered by Lender (including through application of any Reserve Funds, to the extent controlled by Lender; Lender acknowledging that as of the date hereof, the only Reserve Funds currently controlled by Lender are funds which would be held in the Casualty and Condemnation Account and the Excess Cash Account), such tender or recovery shall be deemed to be a voluntary prepayment by Fee Borrower in violation of the prohibition against prepayment set forth in Section 2.4.1 hereof, and Fee Borrower  shall pay, as part of the Debt, all of: (i) all accrued interest at the Interest Rate and, if such tender and acceptance is not made on a Monthly Payment Date, interest that would have accrued on the Debt to, but not including, the next Monthly Payment Date and (ii) an amount equal to the Prepayment Fee.
2.4.6    Prepayment/Repayment Conditions.
(a)    On the date on which a prepayment, voluntary or mandatory, is made under the Note or as required under this Agreement, which date must be a Business Day, Fee Borrower  shall pay to Lender all unpaid interest on the portion of the Outstanding Principal Balance prepaid plus, if the Repayment Date is not a Monthly Payment Date, all interest accruing for the full Interest Period in which the Repayment Date falls.
(b)    On the Repayment Date, Fee Borrower  shall pay to Lender (i) the Prepayment Fee (if such payment is made prior to the Open Prepayment Date) and (ii) all other sums, then due under the Note, this Agreement, the Mortgage, and the other Loan Documents.
(c)    Fee Borrower  shall pay all reasonable costs and expenses of Lender incurred in connection with the repayment or prepayment (including without limitation, if applicable, any costs and expenses associated with a release of the Lien of the Mortgage as set forth in Section 2.5.2 below and reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses).
Section 2.5    Release of Property.
2.5.1    Release Upon Defeasance. If Fee Borrower  has elected to defease the Note and the requirements of Section 2.4.2(b) have been satisfied, the Property shall be released from the Lien of the Mortgage and the other Loan Documents, and the Defeasance Collateral pledged pursuant to the Defeasance Security Agreement shall constitute the only collateral which shall secure the Note and all other Obligations. In connection with the release of the Lien, Borrower shall submit to Lender, not less than ten (10) Business Days prior to the Release Date (or such shorter time as is acceptable to Lender in its sole discretion), a release of Lien (and related Loan Documents) for execution by Lender. Such release shall be in a form appropriate in the jurisdiction in which the Property is located and contain standard provisions protecting the rights of the releasing lender. In addition, Borrower shall provide all other documentation Lender reasonably requires to be delivered by Borrower in connection with such release, together with an Officer’s Certificate certifying that such documentation (i) is in compliance with all Legal Requirements, and (ii) will effect such release in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. Borrower shall pay all costs, taxes and expenses associated with the release of the Lien of the Mortgage, including Lender’s reasonable attorneys’ fees. Fee Borrower, pursuant to the Defeasance Security Agreement, shall authorize and direct that the payments received from Defeasance Collateral be made directly to Lender and applied to satisfy the Obligations, including payment in full of the Outstanding Principal Balance as of the Commencement of the Open Period.

Such release shall be in a form appropriate in the jurisdiction in which the Property is located and contain standard provisions protecting the rights of the releasing lender. In addition, Borrower shall provide all other documentation Lender reasonably requires to be delivered by Borrower in connection with such release, together with an Officer’s Certificate certifying that such documentation (i) is in compliance with all Legal Requirements, and (ii) will effect such release in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

Section 2.6    Partial Prepayments. Notwithstanding the restriction on partial prepayments set forth in Section 2.4 above, provided no Event of Default has occurred and is then continuing, and provided further that Borrower satisfies all the other requirements to prepayment set forth in Section 2.4.2(a) (including without limitation the requirements of Section 2.4.6) on a Business Day, Borrower shall be entitled to prepay the Loan in part in an amount sufficient to (i) eliminate a Low Debt Service Period (such that the DSCR would exceed 1.55:1:00 after giving effect to such partial prepayment). or (ii) to cure an alleged breach by Borrower of Owner’s Debt Restrictions under the Hotel Management Agreement asserted by Property Manager.

3.1.1    Organization; Special Purpose. Borrower is duly organized, validly existing and in good standing with full power and authority to own its assets and conduct its business, and is duly qualified and in good standing in the State and in all jurisdictions in which the ownership or lease of its property or the conduct of its business requires such qualification, and Borrower has taken all necessary action to authorize the execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents by it, and has the power and authority to execute, deliver and perform under this Agreement, the other Loan Documents and all the transactions contemplated hereby.

The Loan Documents are not subject to any right of rescission, set-off, counterclaim or defense by Borrower or Guarantor including the defense of usury, nor would the operation of any of the terms of the Loan Documents, or the exercise of any right thereunder, render the Loan Documents unenforceable, and neither Borrower nor Guarantor has asserted any right of rescission, set-off, counterclaim or defense with respect thereto.
3.1.3    No Conflicts. The execution and delivery of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents by Borrower and the performance of its Obligations hereunder and thereunder will not conflict with any provision of any law or regulation to which Borrower is subject, or conflict with, result in a breach of, or constitute a default under, any of the terms, conditions or provisions of Borrower’s organizational documents or any agreement or instrument to which Borrower is a party or by which it is bound, or any order or decree applicable to Borrower, or result in the creation or imposition of any Lien on Borrower’s assets or property (other than pursuant to the Loan Documents).

3.1.9    Compliance. Borrower and the Property (including, but not limited to the Improvements) and the use thereof comply in all material respects with all applicable Legal Requirements, including parking, building and zoning and land use laws, ordinances, regulations and codes. Borrower is not in default or violation of any order, writ, injunction, decree or demand of any Governmental Authority, the violation of which might materially adversely affect the condition (financial or otherwise) or business of Borrower. Borrower has not committed any act which may give any Governmental Authority the right to cause such Borrower to forfeit the Property or any part thereof or any monies paid in performance of such Borrower’s Obligations under any of the Loan Documents. The Property is used exclusively a luxury hotel and other appurtenant and related uses. In the event that all or any part of the Improvements are destroyed or damaged, said Improvements can be legally reconstructed to their condition prior to such damage or destruction, and thereafter exist for the same use without violating any zoning or other ordinances applicable thereto and without the necessity of obtaining any variances or special permits. No legal proceedings are pending or, to the knowledge of Borrower, threatened with respect to the zoning of the Property. Neither the zoning nor any other right to construct, use or operate the Property is in any way dependent upon or related to any property other than the Property. All certifications, permits, licenses and approvals, including without limitation, certificates of completion and occupancy permits required of Borrower and the Manager for the legal use, occupancy and operation of the Property for its current use (collectively, the “Licenses”), have been obtained and are in full force and effect. The use being made of the Property is in conformity, all material respects with the certificate of occupancy issued for the Property and all other restrictions, covenants and conditions affecting the Property.

Except for Permitted Encumbrances, Borrower has no contingent liabilities, liabilities for taxes, unusual forward or long-term commitments or unrealized or anticipated losses from any unfavorable commitments that are known to such Borrower and reasonably likely to have a materially adverse effect on the Property or the operation thereof taken as a whole, except as referred to or reflected in said financial statements. Since the date of the financial statements last delivered to Lender, there has been no material adverse change in the financial condition, operations or business of Borrower or the Property, taken as a whole, from that set forth in said financial statements.

37

    

3.1.11    Easements; Utilities and Public Access.

The Property has rights of access to public ways and is served by water, sewer, sanitary sewer and storm drain facilities adequate to service the Property for its intended uses. All public utilities necessary or convenient to the full use and enjoyment of the Property are located in the public right-of-way abutting the Property or in a valid, irrevocable easement, and all such utilities are connected so as to serve the Property without passing over other property absent a valid irrevocable easement. All roads necessary for the use of the Property for its current purpose have been completed and dedicated to public use and accepted by all Governmental Authorities where required by the Governmental Authorities. 
3.1.12    Assignment of Leases. The Assignment of Leases creates a valid assignment of, or a valid security interest in, certain rights under the Leases, subject only to a license granted to Borrower to exercise certain rights and to perform certain obligations of the lessor under the Leases, including the right to operate the Property. No Person other than Lender has any interest in or assignment of the Leases or any portion of the Rents due and payable or to become due and payable thereunder.
3.1.13    Insurance. Borrower has obtained and has delivered to Lender original or certified copies of all of the Policies (or to the extent the original or certified copies of Policies have not been delivered, certificates evidencing the same in a form acceptable to Lender), with all premiums prepaid thereunder, reflecting the insurance coverages, amounts and other requirements set forth in this Agreement. No claims have been made under any of the Policies that have not been disclosed in writing to Lender in a separate notice and, neither Borrower and to Borrower's knowledge, no other Person has done, by act or omission, anything which would impair the coverage of any of the Policies.
3.1.14    Flood Zone. Except as disclosed in the Survey, none of the Improvements on the Property are located in an area identified by the Federal Emergency Management Agency as a special flood hazard area, or, if so located the flood insurance required pursuant to Section 5.1.1(a) hereof is in full force and effect with respect to the Property.

38

    

Property, whether latent or otherwise, and Borrower has not received notice from any insurance company or bonding company of any defects or inadequacies in the Property, or any part thereof, which have not been remedied prior to the Closing Date and would adversely affect the insurability of the same or cause the imposition of extraordinary premiums or charges thereon or any termination or threatened termination of any policy of insurance or bond.
3.1.16    Boundaries. All of the Improvements which were included in determining the appraised value of the Property lie wholly within the boundaries and building restriction lines of the Property, and no improvements on adjoining properties encroach upon the Property, and no easements or other encumbrances affecting the Property encroach upon any of the Improvements, so as to materially affect the value or marketability of the Property, except, in all cases, those which are set forth on the Survey and insured against by the Title Insurance Policy.

Borrower shall not perform any Material Alteration without Lender’s prior written consent, which shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. Lender may, as a condition to giving its consent to a Material Alteration, require that Borrower deliver to Lender security for payment of the cost of such Material Alteration and as additional security for Borrower’s Obligations under the Loan Documents, which security may be any of the following: (i) cash, (ii) a Letter of Credit, (iii) U.S. Obligations, (iv) other securities reasonably acceptable to Lender, provided that Lender shall have received a Rating Agency Confirmation as to the form and issuer of same, (v) a completion bond or (vi) a completion guaranty from original Guarantor (such right being limited to original Guarantor only). Such security shall be in an amount equal to the excess of the total unpaid amounts incurred and to be incurred with respect to such alterations to the Improvements (other than such amounts to be paid or reimbursed by Tenants under the Leases) over the Alteration Threshold, and Lender may apply such security from time to time at the option of Lender to pay for such alterations. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Borrower shall not be required to obtain such referenced security in the event such Material Alteration is being paid entirely from the FF&E Deposit Account (or as applicable FF&E Reserve Account) or with pre-funded PIP funds being held by Lender (or a combination of both).

If Borrower has provided cash security, as provided above, such cash shall be released by Lender to fund such Material Alterations, and if Borrower has provided non-cash security, as provided above, except to the extent applied by Lender to fund such Material Alterations, Lender shall release and return such security upon Borrower’s satisfaction of the requirements of the preceding sentence. 
Section 4.13    Approval of Major Contracts. Borrower shall be required to obtain Lender’s prior written approval of any and all Material Contracts and  during the continuation of a Trigger Period, Borrower shall be required to obtain Lender's prior written approval of any and all Major Contracts, which approval, in both instances, shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing; provided further however that Lender's consent shall be required only (i) to the extent that Borrower has the corresponding right to approve such Material Contract or Major Contract under the Management Agreement or (ii) in the event the Management Agreement does not apply to such Material Contract or Major Contract and provided further that notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Loan Document, without the requirement of any approval or consent of Lender (A) Borrower and/or Manager may enter into a new CPS Parking Contract or amend, modify or extend the existing CPS Parking Contract so long as such new contract or amendment, extension or modification is on terms which are substantially the same as or better than the existing CPS Parking Contract or are otherwise consistent with the current market and (B) current Manager may enter into contracts and other agreements with an Affiliate of current Manager with respect to purchasing systems within the meaning of Section 4.04(c) of the current Management Agreement or any contract entered into by Manager as described in Section 4.04(c) of the current Management Agreement provided in each case that Borrower has not opted out of such corporate procurement contract as provided in Section 4.04(d) of the current Management Agreement.

(b)    All insurance provided for in Section 5.1.1(a) shall be obtained under valid and enforceable policies (collectively, the “Policies” or in the singular, the “Policy”) and shall be subject to the approval of Lender as to form and substance, including insurance companies, amounts, deductibles, loss payees and insureds.

Additionally, if Borrower obtains property insurance 

61

    

coverage in addition to or in excess of that required by Section 5.1.1(a)(i), then such insurance policies shall also contain a standard non-contributing mortgagee clause in favor of Lender providing that the loss thereunder shall be payable to Lender.
(e)    All Policies of insurance provided for in Section 5.1.1(a), except for the Policies referenced in Section 5.1.1(a)(v), (a)(viii) and (a)(x), shall contain clauses or endorsements to the effect that:
(i)    no act or negligence of Borrower, or anyone acting for Borrower, or of any Tenant or other occupant, or failure to comply with the provisions of any Policy, which might otherwise result in a forfeiture of the insurance or any part thereof, shall in any way affect the validity or enforceability of the insurance insofar as Lender is concerned;
(ii)    the Policy shall not be canceled without at least thirty (30) days’ written notice to Lender and any other party named therein as an additional insured (other than in the case of non-payment in which case only ten days prior notice, or the shortest time allowed by applicable Legal Requirement (whichever is longer), will be required) and shall not be materially changed (other than to increase the coverage provided thereby) without such a thirty (30) day notice; and
(iii)    Lender shall not be liable for any Insurance Premiums thereon or subject to any assessments thereunder.
(f)    If at any time Lender is not in receipt of written evidence that all insurance required hereunder is in full force and effect, Lender shall have the right, without notice to Borrower, to take such action as Lender deems necessary to protect its interest in the Property, including the obtaining of such insurance coverage as Lender in its sole discretion deems appropriate and all premiums incurred by Lender in connection with such action or in obtaining such insurance and keeping it in effect shall be paid by Borrower to Lender upon demand and until paid shall be secured by the Mortgage and shall bear interest at the Default Rate.
(g)    In the event of foreclosure of the Mortgage or other transfer of title to the Property in extinguishment in whole or in part of the Obligations, all right, title and interest of Borrower in and to the Policies that are not blanket Policies then in force concerning the Property and all proceeds payable thereunder shall thereupon vest in the purchaser at such foreclosure or Lender or other transferee in the event of such other transfer of title.
(h)    The property insurance, public liability insurance and rental loss and/or business interruption insurance required under Sections 5.1.1(a)(i), (ii), (iii) and (vii) above shall cover perils of terrorism and acts of terrorism  or, if excluded, Borrower shall provide a stand-alone policy, and Borrower shall maintain property insurance, public liability insurance and rental loss 

62

    

and/or business interruption insurance for loss resulting from perils and acts of terrorism on terms (including amounts) consistent with those required under Sections 5.1.1(a)(i), (ii), (iii) and (vii) above at all times during the term of the Loan.  For so long TRIPRA is in effect and continues to cover both foreign and domestic acts, Lender shall accept terrorism insurance with coverage against acts which are “certified” within the meaning of TRIPRA.
(i)    Notwithstanding anything in subsection (a)(i) or (h) above to the contrary, Borrower shall be required to obtain and maintain coverage in its property insurance Policy (or by a separate Policy) against loss or damage by terrorist acts in an amount equal to 100% of the “Full Replacement Cost” of the Property plus the rental loss and/or business interruption coverage required pursuant to subsection (a)(iii) above; provided that such coverage is available. In the event that such coverage with respect to terrorist acts is not included as part of the “all risk” property policy required by subsection (a)(i) above, Borrower shall, nevertheless be required to obtain coverage for terrorism (as standalone coverage) in an amount equal to 100% of the “Full Replacement Cost” of the Property plus the rental loss and/or business interruption coverage under clause (a)(iii) above; provided that such coverage is available. Borrower shall obtain the coverage required under this clause (i) from a carrier which otherwise satisfies the rating criteria specified in Section 5.1.2 below (a “Qualified Carrier”) or in the event that such coverage is not available from a Qualified Carrier, Borrower shall obtain such coverage from the highest rated insurance company providing such coverage. Notwithstanding the foregoing, with respect to any such stand-alone policy covering terrorist acts, Borrower shall not be required to pay any Insurance Premiums solely with respect to such terrorism coverage in excess of the Terrorism Premium Cap (hereinafter defined); provided that if the Insurance Premiums payable with respect to such terrorism coverage exceeds the Terrorism Premium Cap, Lender may, at its option (1) purchase such stand-alone terrorism Policy, with Borrower paying such portion of the Insurance Premiums with respect thereto equal to the Terrorism Premium Cap and the Lender paying such portion of the Insurance Premiums in excess of the Terrorism Premium Cap or (2) modify the deductible amounts, policy limits and other required policy terms to reduce the Insurance Premiums payable with respect to such stand-alone terrorism Policy to the Terrorism Premium Cap. As used herein, (i) ”Terrorism Premium Cap” means an amount equal to two times the amount of the insurance premium that is payable in respect of the Property and business interruption/rental loss insurance required under the Loan Documents (without giving effect to the cost of terrorism and wind components of such casualty and business interruption/rental loss insurance) at the time that such terrorism coverage is excluded from the applicable Policy.
5.1.2    Insurance Company.  
(a)    All Policies required pursuant to Section 5.1.1 shall be issued by companies authorized to do business in the state where the Property is located, with a financial strength and claims paying ability rating of “A” or better by S&P; provided, however for multi-layered policies, 

63

    

(A) if four (4) or less insurance companies issue the Policies, then at least 75% of the insurance coverage represented by the Policies must be provided by insurance companies with a claims paying ability rating of “A” or better by S&P, with no carrier below “BBB” or (B) if five (5) or more insurance companies issue the Policies, then at least sixty percent (60%) of the insurance coverage represented by the Policies must be provided by insurance companies with a claims paying ability rating of “A” or better by S&P, with no carrier below “BBB.” Borrower shall be permitted to maintain the Policies required hereunder with insurance companies which do not meet the foregoing requirements (an "Otherwise Rated Insurer"), provided Borrower obtains reinsurance with an industry standard "cut-through" endorsement (that is, an endorsement which permits recovery against the provider of such endorsement if the insurer becomes insolvent) with respect to any Otherwise Rated Insurer from an insurance company which meets the claims-paying ability ratings required above or such higher rating as may be required by a Rating Agency. Notwithstanding the foregoing, (A) solely with respect to property insurance coverage in excess of the primary layer, up to ten percent (10%) of the total amount of the required amount of coverage may be provided by carriers that do not satisfy the minimum rating by S&P of not lower than BBB, so long as such carriers maintain a Best’s Insurance Reports rating of “A:X” or better and (B) Ironshore Specialty Insurance Company (“Ironshore”), rated “A: XIV” with Best’s Insurance Reports and “Baa1” with Moody’s, shall be an acceptable insurance company with respect to the Required Flood Insurance and the other property insurance coverage in its current position and participation amount within the syndicate provided the ratings are not withdrawn or downgraded below those in effect on the date hereof. In addition, all Policies required pursuant to Section 5.1.1:  (i) shall, with respect to all property insurance policies, name Lender and its successors and/or assigns as their interest may appear as the Lender and Mortgagee; (ii) shall, with respect to all property insurance policies and rental loss and/or business interruption insurance policies, contain a Standard Mortgagee Clause and a Lender’s Loss Payable Endorsement, or their equivalents, naming Lender as the person to whom all payments made by such insurance company shall be paid; (iii) shall, with respect to all liability policies, name Lender and its successors and/or assigns as an additional insured; (iv) shall contain a waiver of subrogation against Lender; (v) shall contain such provisions as Lender deems reasonably necessary or desirable to protect its interest including endorsements providing (A) that neither Borrower, Lender nor any other party shall be a co-insurer under said Policies, (B) that Lender shall receive at least thirty (30) days prior written notice of any modification, reduction or cancellation, and (C) for a deductible per loss of an amount not more than that which is customarily maintained by prudent owners of properties with a standard of operation and maintenance comparable to and in the general vicinity of the Property, but in no event in excess of an amount reasonably acceptable to Lender; and (vi) shall be satisfactory in form and substance to Lender and shall be approved by Lender as to amounts, form, risk coverage, deductibles, loss payees and insureds. For so long TRIPRA is in effect, Lender shall accept terrorism insurance with coverage against acts which are “certified” within the meaning of TRIPRA. In addition to the insurance 

64

    

coverages described in Section 5.1.1 above, Borrower shall obtain such other insurance as may from time to time be reasonably required by Lender in order to protect its interests. 
(b)    Upon the written request of Lender, copies of the Policies to the extent Borrower has possession of such Policies (and, if not in possession of by Borrower, promptly upon issuance by the insurance companies and delivery of such Policies to Borrower), certified by Borrower as true copies,  shall be delivered to Lender at the address below (or to such other address or Person as Lender shall designate from time to time by notice to Borrower) on the date hereof with respect to the current Policies and within thirty (30) days after the effective date thereof with respect to all renewal Policies:
GERMAN AMERICAN CAPITAL CORPORATION
60 Wall Street, 10th Floor
New York, NY 10005
Attn: Mary Brundage
Borrower shall pay the Insurance Premiums annually in advance as the same become due and payable and shall furnish to Lender evidence of the renewal of each of the Policies with receipts for the payment of the Insurance Premiums or other evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory to Lender (provided, however, that Borrower shall not be required to pay such Insurance Premiums nor furnish such evidence of payment to Lender in the event that the amounts required to pay such Insurance Premiums have been deposited into the Insurance Account pursuant to Section 6.4 hereof). Within thirty (30) days after request by Lender, Borrower shall obtain such increases in the amounts of coverage required hereunder as may be reasonably requested by Lender, taking into consideration changes in the value of money over time, changes in liability laws, changes in prudent customs and practices.
Section 5.2    Casualty. If the Property shall be damaged or destroyed, in whole or in part, by fire or other casualty (a “Casualty”), Borrower shall give prompt notice thereof to Lender. Following the occurrence of a Casualty, Borrower, regardless of whether insurance proceeds are available, shall promptly proceed to restore, repair, replace or rebuild the Property in accordance with Legal Requirements to be of at least equal value and of substantially the same character as prior to such damage or destruction. Lender may, but shall not be obligated to make proof of loss if not made promptly by Borrower. In addition and notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in the Condominium Documents, Borrower shall use all commercially reasonable efforts to permit Lender to participate in any settlement discussions with any insurance companies (and Borrower shall not approve any final settlement without Lender's approval) (i) if an Event of Default is continuing or (ii) with respect to any Casualty in which the Net Proceeds or the costs of completing the Restoration are equal to or greater than Two Million and No/100 Dollars ($2,000,000) or for which an Insurance Trustee is required pursuant to the Condominium Declaration.  Borrower shall deliver to Lender all instruments required by Lender to permit such participation. Except as set 

65

    

forth in the foregoing sentence but subject to the requirements of the Condominium Declaration and Borrower's obligation to comply with the Insurance Trustee Requirements to effect the following, any Insurance Proceeds in connection with any Casualty (whether or not Lender elects to settle and adjust the claim or Borrower settles such claim) shall be due and payable solely to Lender and held by Lender in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. Subject to the Insurance Trustee Requirements, in the event Borrower or any party other than Lender is a payee on any check representing Insurance Proceeds with respect to any Casualty, Borrower shall immediately endorse, and cause all such third parties to endorse, such check payable to the order of Lender, consistent with the above limitation. Borrower hereby irrevocably appoints Lender as its attorney-in-fact, coupled with an interest, to endorse any such check payable to the order of Lender. Borrower hereby releases Lender from any and all liability with respect to the settlement and adjustment by Lender of any claims in respect of any Casualty. 
Section 5.3    Condemnation. Borrower shall promptly give Lender notice of the actual or threatened commencement of any proceeding for the Condemnation of all or any portion of the Property and shall deliver to Lender copies of any and all papers served in connection with such proceedings to the extent related to amounts in excess of Two Million Dollars ($2,000,000) or if an Insurance Trustee is required to be appointed pursuant to the Condominium Declaration, Borrower shall use all commercially reasonable efforts to allow Lender to participate in any such proceedings, and Borrower shall from time to time deliver to Lender all instruments requested by it to permit such participation. Borrower shall, at its expense, diligently prosecute any such proceedings, and shall consult with Lender (to amounts in excess of Two Million Dollars ($2,000,000) or if an Insurance Trustee is required to be appointed pursuant to the Condominium Declaration), its attorneys and experts, and cooperate with them in the carrying on or defense of any such proceedings. Notwithstanding any taking by any public or quasi-public authority through Condemnation or otherwise (including, but not limited to, any transfer made in lieu of or in anticipation of the exercise of such taking), Borrower shall continue to pay the Debt at the time and in the manner provided for its payment in the Note and in this Agreement and the Debt shall not be reduced until any Award shall have been actually received and applied by Lender, after the deduction of expenses of collection, to the reduction or discharge of the Debt. Lender shall not be limited to the interest paid on the Award by the condemning authority but shall be entitled to receive out of the Award interest at the rate or rates provided herein or in the Note. If the Property or any portion thereof is taken by a condemning authority, Borrower shall promptly commence and diligently prosecute the Restoration of the Property and otherwise comply with the provisions of Section 5.4, whether or not an Award is available to pay the costs of such Restoration. If the Property is sold, through foreclosure or otherwise, prior to the receipt by Lender of the Award, Lender shall have the right, whether or not a deficiency judgment on the Note shall have been sought, recovered or denied, to receive the Award, or a portion thereof sufficient to pay the Debt.

66

    

Section 5.4    Restoration.  The following provisions shall apply in connection with the Restoration:
(a)    If the Net Proceeds shall be less than One Million and No/100 Dollars ($1,000,000) and provided no Event of Default is continuing, the Net Proceeds will be disbursed by Lender to Borrower upon receipt, provided that all of the conditions set forth in Section 5.4(b)(i) are met and Borrower delivers to Lender a written undertaking to expeditiously commence and to satisfactorily complete with due diligence the Restoration in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.
(b)    If the Net Proceeds are equal to or greater than One Million and No/100 Dollars ($1,000,000), the Net Proceeds will be held by Lender (either in its capacity as Lender or as Insurance Trustee under the Condominium Declaration) and Lender shall make the Net Proceeds available for the Restoration in accordance with the provisions of this Section 5.4. The term “Net Proceeds” shall mean: (i) the net amount of all insurance proceeds received by Lender pursuant to Section 5.1.1 (a)(i), (iii) (iv), and (vi) and Section 5.1.1(h) as a result of such damage or destruction, after deduction of its reasonable costs and expenses (including, but not limited to, reasonable counsel fees), if any, in collecting same (“Insurance Proceeds”), or (ii) the net amount of the Award, after deduction of its reasonable costs and expenses (including, but not limited to, reasonable counsel fees), if any, in collecting same (“Condemnation Proceeds”), whichever the case may be.
(i)    The Net Proceeds shall be made available to Borrower for Restoration upon the determination of Lender, in its reasonable discretion, that the following conditions are met:
(A)    no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing;
(B)    (1) in the event the Net Proceeds are Insurance Proceeds, less than thirty percent (30%) of the total floor area of the Improvements on the Property has been damaged, destroyed or rendered unusable as a result of such Casualty or (2) in the event the Net Proceeds are Condemnation Proceeds, less than fifteen percent (15%) of the land constituting the Property is taken, and such land is located along the perimeter or periphery of the Property, and no portion of the Improvements is located on such land;
(C)    in the event the Office Unit has suffered damage, destruction or condemnation, Lender has received reasonable evidence that the Office Unit will be timely restored to the condition it existed before the Casualty or Condemnation;

67

    

(D)    the Board of Directors has approved the restoration (to the extent such approval is required by the Condominium Documents) of the Hotel Unit and the affected Common Elements, and if applicable, the Office Unit;
(E)    Borrower shall commence the Restoration as soon as reasonably practicable (but in no event later than sixty (60) days after such Casualty or Condemnation, whichever the case may be, occurs) and shall diligently pursue the same to satisfactory completion; provided that the filing of building permit shall be deemed commencement for such purposes unless subsequently withdrawn or rejected;
(F)    Lender shall be satisfied that any operating deficits, including all scheduled payments of principal and interest under the Note, which will be incurred with respect to the Property as a result of the occurrence of any such Casualty or Condemnation, whichever the case may be, will be covered out of (1) the Net Proceeds, (2) the insurance coverage referred to in Section 5.1.1(a)(iii), if applicable, or (3) by other funds of Borrower;
(G)    Lender shall be reasonably satisfied that the Restoration will be completed on or before the earliest to occur of (1) the date six (6) months prior to the Stated Maturity Date, (2) such time as may be required under applicable Legal Requirements or (3) two (2) months prior to the expiration of the insurance coverage referred to in Section 5.1.1(a)(iii);
(H)    Lender shall be reasonably satisfied that the Restoration will be completed in accordance with any requirements under the Condominium Documents and the Management Agreement (or if applicable, the Franchise Agreement);
(I)    the Property and the use thereof after the Restoration will be in compliance with and permitted under all applicable Legal Requirements;
(J)    the Restoration shall be done and completed by Borrower in an expeditious and diligent fashion and in compliance with all applicable Legal Requirements;
(K)    such Casualty or Condemnation, as applicable, does not result in the loss of access to the Property or the related Improvements;

68

    

(L)    such Casualty or Condemnation, as applicable, does not result in the loss of parking to the Property below the level that is required by Legal Requirements to operate the hotel at the Property;
(M)    the Restoration DSCR, after giving effect to the Restoration, shall be equal to or greater than 1.50:1.00;
(N)    the Loan to Value Ratio after giving effect to the Restoration, shall be equal to or less than seventy percent (70%);
(O)    Borrower shall deliver, or cause to be delivered, to Lender a signed detailed budget approved in writing by Borrower’s architect or engineer stating the entire cost of completing the Restoration, which budget shall be reasonably acceptable to Lender; 
(P)    The Condominium has not been terminated; and
(Q)    the Net Proceeds together with any cash or cash equivalent deposited by Borrower with Lender are sufficient in Lender’s reasonable discretion to cover the cost of the Restoration.
(ii)    The Net Proceeds shall be held by Lender in the Casualty and Condemnation Account and, until disbursed in accordance with the provisions of this Section 5.4(b), shall constitute additional security for the Debt and other obligations under the Loan Documents. The Net Proceeds shall be disbursed by Lender to, or as directed by, Borrower from time to time during the course of the Restoration, upon receipt of evidence reasonable satisfactory to Lender that (A) all materials installed and work and labor performed (except to the extent that they are to be paid for out of the requested disbursement) in connection with the Restoration have been paid for in full, and (B) there exist no notices of pendency, stop orders, mechanic’s or materialman’s liens or notices of intention to file same, or any other liens or encumbrances of any nature whatsoever on the Property which have not either been fully bonded to the satisfaction of Lender and discharged of record or in the alternative fully insured to the satisfaction of Lender by the title company issuing the Title Insurance Policy.
(iii)    All plans and specifications required in connection with the Restoration shall be subject to the prior approval of Lender, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed, and an independent consulting engineer selected by Lender (the “Casualty Consultant”). Lender shall have the use of the plans and specifications and all permits, licenses and approvals required or obtained in connection with the Restoration. The identity of the contractors, subcontractors and materialmen 

69

    

engaged in the Restoration, as well as the contracts under which they have been engaged, shall be subject to the approval of Lender, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed and the Casualty Consultant. All costs and expenses incurred by Lender in connection with recovering, holding and advancing the Net Proceeds for the Restoration including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements and the Casualty Consultant’s fees and disbursements, shall be paid by Borrower.
(iv)    In no event shall Lender be obligated to make disbursements of the Net Proceeds in excess of an amount equal to the costs actually incurred from time to time for work in place as part of the Restoration, as certified by the Casualty Consultant, less the Casualty Retainage. The term “Casualty Retainage” shall mean, as to each contractor, subcontractor or materialman engaged in the Restoration, an amount equal to ten percent (10%) of the costs actually incurred for work in place as part of the Restoration, as certified by the Casualty Consultant, until the Restoration has been completed. The Casualty Retainage shall in no event, and notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth above in this Section 5.4(b), be less than the amount actually held back by Borrower from contractors, subcontractors and materialmen engaged in the Restoration. The Casualty Retainage shall not be released until the Casualty Consultant certifies to Lender that the Restoration has been completed in accordance with the provisions of this Section 5.4(b) and that all approvals necessary for the re-occupancy and use of the Property have been obtained from all appropriate Governmental Authorities, and Lender receives evidence reasonable satisfactory to Lender that the costs of the Restoration have been paid in full or will be paid in full out of the Casualty Retainage; provided, however, that Lender will release the portion of the Casualty Retainage being held with respect to any contractor, subcontractor or materialman engaged in the Restoration as of the date upon which (i) the Casualty Consultant certifies to Lender that such contractor, subcontractor or materialman has satisfactorily completed all work and has supplied all materials in accordance with the provisions of such contractor’s, subcontractor’s or materialman’s contract, (ii) the contractor, subcontractor or materialman delivers the lien waivers and evidence of payment in full of all sums due to the contractor, subcontractor or materialman as may be reasonably requested by Lender or by the title company issuing the Title Insurance Policy, and (iii) Lender receives an endorsement to the Title Insurance Policy insuring the continued priority of the Lien of the Mortgage and evidence of payment of any premium payable for such endorsement. If required by Lender, the release of any such portion of the Casualty Retainage shall be approved by the surety company, if any, which has issued a payment or performance bond with respect to the contractor, subcontractor or materialman.
(v)    Lender shall not be obligated to make disbursements of the Net Proceeds more frequently than once every calendar month; provided that if the Net Proceeds 

70

    

are in excess of Ten Million Dollars ($10,000,000), such disbursements may be made not more than twice every calendar month.
(vi)    If at any time the Net Proceeds or the undisbursed balance thereof shall not, in the reasonable opinion of Lender in consultation with the Casualty Consultant, be sufficient to pay in full the balance of the costs which are estimated by the Casualty Consultant to be incurred in connection with the completion of the Restoration, Borrower shall deposit the deficiency (the “Net Proceeds Deficiency”) with Lender (for deposit into the Casualty and Condemnation Account) or deposit a Letter of Credit in such amount before any further disbursement of the Net Proceeds shall be made. The Net Proceeds Deficiency deposited with Lender or the proceeds of any Letter of Credit shall be deposited by Lender into the Casualty and Condemnation Account and shall be disbursed for costs actually incurred in connection with the Restoration on the same conditions applicable to the disbursement of the Net Proceeds, and until so disbursed pursuant to this Section 5.4(b) shall constitute additional security for the Obligations.
(vii)    The excess, if any, of the Net Proceeds and the remaining balance, if any, of the Net Proceeds Deficiency deposited with Lender after the Casualty Consultant certifies to Lender that the Restoration has been completed in accordance with the provisions of this Section 5.4(b), and the receipt by Lender of evidence reasonable satisfactory to Lender that all costs incurred in connection with the Restoration have been paid in full, shall be remitted by Lender to Borrower, provided no Event of Default shall have occurred and shall be continuing.
(c)    Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Agreement, including the provisions of this Section 5.4, if the Loan is included in a REMIC Trust and, immediately following a release of any portion of the Lien of the Mortgage following a Casualty or Condemnation (but taking into account any proposed Restoration of the remaining Property), the ratio of the unpaid principal balance of the Loan to the value of the remaining Property is greater than one hundred twenty five percent (125%) (such value to be determined, in Lender’s sole discretion, by any commercially reasonable method permitted to a REMIC Trust; and which shall exclude the value of personal property or going concern value, if any), the Outstanding Principal Balance must be paid down by an amount equal to the least of the following amounts: (i) the net Award (after payment of Lender’s costs and expenses and any other fees and expenses that have been approved by Lender) or the net Insurance Proceeds (after payment of Lender’s costs and expenses and any other fees and expenses that have been approved by Lender), as the case may be, or (ii) a “qualified amount” as that term is defined in the IRS Revenue Procedure 2010-30, as the same may be amended, replaced, supplemented or modified from time to time, unless Lender receives an opinion of counsel that if such amount is not paid, the applicable Securitization will not fail to maintain its status as a REMIC Trust as a result of the related release of such portion of the 

71

    

Lien of the Mortgage. If and to the extent the preceding sentence applies, only such amount of the net Award or net Insurance Proceeds (as applicable), if any, in excess of the amount required to pay down the principal balance of the Loan may be released for purposes of Restoration or released to Borrower as otherwise expressly provided in this Section 5.4.
(d)    All Net Proceeds not required (i) to be made available for the Restoration or (ii) to be returned to Borrower as excess Net Proceeds pursuant to Section 5.4(b)(vii) may be retained and applied by Lender in accordance with Section 2.4.4 hereof toward the payment of the Debt whether or not then due and payable in such order, priority and proportions as Lender in its sole discretion shall deem proper, or, at the discretion of Lender, the same may be paid, either in whole or in part, to Borrower for such purposes as Lender shall approve, in its discretion. Additionally, throughout the term of the Loan if an Event of Default is continuing, then Borrower shall pay to Lender, with respect to any payment of the Debt pursuant to this Section 5.4(d), an additional amount equal to the Prepayment Fee; provided, however, that if an Event of Default is not continuing, then no Prepayment Fee shall be payable.
(e)    In the event of foreclosure of the Mortgage, or other transfer of title to the Property in extinguishment in whole or in part of the Debt all right, title and interest of Borrower in and to the Policies that are not blanket Policies then in force concerning the Property and all proceeds payable thereunder shall thereupon vest in the purchaser at such foreclosure or Lender or other transferee in the event of such other transfer of title.
(f)    Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, if in connection with a Casualty, any insurance company makes a payment under a property or business or rental interruption insurance Policy that Borrower proposes be treated as business or rental interruption insurance, then, notwithstanding any designation (or lack of designation) by the insurance company as to the purpose of such payment, as between Lender and Borrower, such payment shall not be treated as business or rental interruption Insurance Proceeds unless Borrower (i) has demonstrated to Lender’s satisfaction that the remaining Net Proceeds that have been received from the property insurance companies are sufficient to pay one hundred percent (100%) of the cost of the Restoration or, if such Net Proceeds are to be applied to repay the Obligations in accordance with the terms hereof, that such remaining Net Proceeds will be sufficient to satisfy the Obligations in full or (ii) to the extent Borrower is not able to satisfy Lender as to the sufficiency of the remaining funds to pay one hundred percent (100%) of the Restoration or to satisfy the Obligations in full prior to distribution of Net Proceeds, Borrower has agreed to fund any shortfall from funds other than from Gross Revenues or borrowed funds and has provided such security as Lender may require to insure payment of such shortfalls. To the extent any payment under a property or business or rental interruption insurance Policy is treated as business or rental interruption insurance in accordance with this paragraph (g), such funds shall be deposited into the Casualty and Condemnation Account. Provided that no Event of Default then exists, Insurance Proceeds treated as business or rental 

72

    

interruption insurance in accordance with this paragraph (g) (to the extent of available funds) shall be (A) first applied by Lender, on each Monthly Payment Date, to pay for Debt Service, deposits of Reserve Funds and payments of Approved Monthly Operating Expenses for such month and Approved Extraordinary Operating Expenses actually incurred (collectively, the “Approved Monthly BI Expenses”) for such month pursuant to, and in the priorities set forth in, Section 6.10.1, and (B) second, to the extent that Lender determines that the amount of business or rental interruption Insurance Proceeds then remaining in the Casualty and Condemnation Account is sufficient to pay for all future Approved Monthly BI Expenses through the completion of the subject Restoration, disbursed by Lender to Borrower in an aggregate amount under this clause (B) not to exceed the Approved Monthly BI Expenses actually incurred by Borrower from the date of the applicable Casualty to the date of the first installment of business or rental interruption Insurance Proceeds advanced by the applicable insurance company (as evidenced by supporting documentation by Borrower that is acceptable to Lender). Provided no Trigger Period then exists, all remaining business or rental interruption insurance proceeds shall be disbursed to Borrower upon the completion of the subject Restoration and the full service reopening of the hotel at the Property in the standard required by the Management Agreement and, if applicable, the Franchise Agreement, but no less than the standard of a Luxury Brand.
Section 5.5    Condominium Matters. The parties acknowledge that the Condominium Documents contain certain procedures with respect to Casualty, Condemnation, restoration of the Property, use of Net Proceeds and selection of an Insurance Trustee. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in connection with a vote or decision by the Condominium Board relating to a restoration or disposition of the Property after a Casualty or a Condemnation, the termination of the Condominium, settlement discussions and intermediate and final settlements with any insurance companies, or the possession and disposition of Net Proceeds or any other matters addressed in this Article 5, Borrower shall instruct the Board members representing the Hotel Unit to vote (or refrain from voting) on such matters in a manner consistent with the requirements of Section 4.35(h), Section 5.2, Section 5.3 and Section 5.4. 
ARTICLE 6

73

    

checks and wire all funds with respect to any payments due under such Leases directly to Manager, (iii) Borrower shall cause all Rents in the nature of sums payable by issuers of credit cards accepted at the Property (collectively, “Credit Card Issuers” and such Rents, “Credit Card Receivables”), to be transmitted directly by such issuer to Manager, (iv) Borrower shall cause Manager to collect and deposit all Rents, Credit Card Receivables, Cash or other items of Gross Revenue directly into the Manager Account within one (1) Business Day after receipt thereof, (v) Borrower shall pay or cause to be paid all Rents, Cash or other items of Gross Revenue not otherwise collected by Manager within one (1) Business Day after receipt thereof by Borrower or its Affiliates directly into the Manager Account, (vi) subject to Section 6.5, Borrower shall cause Manager to deposit all amounts payable by Manager to Borrower from the Manager Account pursuant to the Management Agreement (including without limitation all funds representing Cash Flow Surplus, as defined in the Management Agreement and all funds distributed to Borrower by Manager pursuant to Section 8.01(d) of the Management Agreement) (A) into the FF&E Deposit Account (with respect to funds to be applied to the Monthly FF&E Reserve Amount) and (B) into the Cash Management Deposit Account (with respect to funds in excess of the Monthly FF&E Reserve Amount) within the period required under the Management Agreement (and if no such time period is set forth in the Management Agreement with respect to certain sources of Gross Revenue, Borrower shall cause Manager to deposit such amounts into the Cash Management Deposit Account the same time as all other amounts are deposited in the Cash Management Deposit Account by the Manager, but not less often than once per month); provided in the event that the Pre-Approved Manager Conditions are not satisfied or Manager is not reserving for the Monthly FF&E Reserve Amounts, all such funds that would have been deposited in the FF&E Deposit Account will instead be funded into the Cash Management Deposit Account, (vii) so long as the Loan shall be outstanding, neither Borrower, any Affiliate of Borrower, Manager, nor any other Person shall open any other operating accounts with respect to the Property or the collection of Rents, Cash or other items of Gross Revenue or Credit Card Receivables with respect to the Property, except for the Clearing Account and the Manager Account; provided that, Borrower shall not be prohibited from utilizing one or more separate accounts for the disbursement or retention of funds that have been transferred to Borrower pursuant to Section 6.10.1.  
(b)    Lender shall at all times have a security interest in the Manager Accounts and shall file a precautionary UCC filing statement against all the Manager Accounts wherever located.

(c)    Any amounts from Rents, Credit Card Receivables or other amounts of Gross Revenues of the Property held by Borrower or Manager shall be deemed to be collateral for the Loan and shall be held in trust by it for the benefit, and as the property, of Lender and shall not be commingled with any other funds or property of Borrower (or its Affiliates) or Manager.

74

    

6.1.2    Cash Management - Pre-Approved Manager Conditions Not Satisfied. If at any time the Pre-Approved Manager Conditions shall cease to be satisfied (including, without limitation, as the result of a Manager Termination Event), Borrower shall cause all Gross Revenues including, without limitation, (i) all Cash received by or on behalf of Borrower with respect to Gross Revenues, (ii) all Rents to be transmitted directly by Tenants of the Property, and (iii) all Rents in the nature of Credit Card Receivables payable by Credit Card Issuers to be transmitted directly by (respectively) Borrower, such Tenants and such Credit Card Issuer into a trust account (the “Clearing Account”) established and maintained by Borrower at an Eligible Institution selected by Borrower and reasonably approved by Lender (the “Clearing Bank”).  Without in any way limiting the foregoing, if Borrower or any Manager receive any Gross Revenue from the Property (other than pursuant to Section 6.10.1(xi)(B)(y)), then (i) such amounts shall be deemed to be collateral for the Obligations and shall be held in trust for the benefit, and as the property, of Lender, (ii) such amounts shall not be commingled with any other funds or property of Borrower or Manager, and (iii) Borrower or Manager shall deposit such amounts in the Clearing Account within one (1) Business Day of receipt.

Lender may also establish subaccounts of the Cash Management Deposit Account which shall at all times be Eligible Accounts (and may be ledger or book entry accounts and not actual accounts) (such subaccounts are referred to herein as “Accounts”).  The Cash Management Deposit Account and all other Accounts will be under the sole control and dominion of Lender, and Borrower shall have no right of withdrawal therefrom.  Borrower shall pay for all expenses of opening and maintaining all of the above accounts.
Section 6.2    Required Repairs.Borrower shall perform the repairs and other work at the Property as set forth on Schedule II (such repairs and other work hereinafter referred to as “Required Repairs”) and shall complete each of the Required Repairs on or before the respective deadline for each repair as set forth on Schedule II. 
Section 6.3    Tax Funds
6.3.1    Deposits of Tax Funds. At any such time that Manager either (x) does not reserve for or otherwise set aside and pay Taxes or (y) is not Current Manager or a Pre-Approved Manager, Lender shall direct Servicer to transfer from the Cash Management Deposit Account (or if there are insufficient funds in the Cash Management Deposit Account, Borrower shall deposit into the Cash Management Deposit Account) on each Monthly Payment Date, an amount equal to one-twelfth of the Taxes that Lender estimates will be payable during the next ensuing twelve (12) months, in order to accumulate sufficient funds to pay all such Taxes at least thirty (30) days prior to their respective due dates, into an Account (the “Tax Account”). Amounts deposited from time 

75

    

to time into the Tax Account pursuant to this Section 6.3.1 are referred to herein as the “Tax Funds”. If at any time Lender reasonably determines that the Tax Funds will not be sufficient to pay the Taxes, Lender shall notify Borrower of such determination and the monthly deposits for Taxes shall be increased by the amount that Lender reasonably estimates is sufficient to make up the deficiency at least ten (10) days prior to the respective due dates for the Taxes; provided, that if Borrower receives notice of any deficiency after the date that is ten (10) days prior to the date that Taxes are due, Borrower will deposit with or on behalf of Lender such amount within three (3) Business Days after its receipt of such notice.
6.3.2    Release of Tax Funds. Provided no Event of Default shall exist and remain uncured, Lender shall direct Servicer to apply Tax Funds in the Tax Account to payments of Taxes provided that Servicer shall use reasonable efforts to obtain Borrower's prior and timely approval of the invoice or statement in connection therewith; but the failure of Lender or Servicer to obtain Borrower's approval to such invoice or statement shall not result in any liability to Lender or Servicer or prevent Servicer from making such payment. In making any payment relating to Taxes, Lender may do so according to any bill, statement or estimate procured from the appropriate public office (with respect to Taxes) 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 the Tax Funds shall exceed the amounts due for Taxes and provided that no Trigger Period exists, Lender shall, in its sole discretion, return any excess to Borrower or credit such excess against future payments to be made to the Tax Funds. Any Tax Funds remaining in the Tax Account after the Obligations have been paid in full shall be returned to Borrower promptly thereafter (but no later than five (5) Business Days after the date the Obligations have been paid in full).

6.4.1    Deposits of Insurance Funds. At any such time that Manager either (x) does not reserve for or otherwise set aside and pay Insurance Premiums or (y) is not Current Manager or a Pre-Approved Manager, Lender shall direct Servicer to transfer from the Cash Management Deposit Account (or if there are insufficient funds in the Cash Management Deposit Account, Borrower shall deposit into the Cash Management Deposit Account) on each Monthly Payment Date, an amount equal to one-twelfth of the Insurance Premiums that Lender estimates will be payable for the renewal of the coverage afforded by the Policies upon the expiration thereof, in order to accumulate sufficient funds to pay all such Insurance Premiums at least thirty (30) days prior to the expiration of the Policies, into an Account established at Cash Management Deposit Bank to hold such funds (the “Insurance Account”). Amounts deposited from time to time into the Insurance Account pursuant to this Section 6.4.1 are referred to herein as the “Insurance Funds”. If at any time Lender reasonably determines that the Insurance Funds will not be sufficient to pay the Insurance Premiums, Lender shall notify Borrower of such determination and the monthly 

76

    

deposits for Insurance Premiums shall be increased by the amount that Lender reasonably estimates is sufficient to make up the deficiency at least thirty (30) days prior to expiration of the Policies.
6.4.2    Release of Insurance Funds. Provided no Event of Default shall exist and remain uncured, Lender shall direct Servicer to apply Insurance Funds in the Insurance Account to the timely payment of Insurance Premiums, provided Borrower shall furnish Lender with all bills, invoices and statements for the Insurance Premiums for which such funds are required at least thirty (30) days prior to the date on which such charges first become payable and approve same for payment; but the failure of Lender or Servicer to obtain Borrower's approval to such bill, invoice or statement shall not result in any liability to Lender or Servicer or prevent Servicer from making such payment. In making any payment relating to Insurance Premiums, Lender may do so according to any bill, statement or estimate procured from the insurer or its agent, without inquiry into the accuracy of such bill, statement or estimate. If the amount of the Insurance Funds shall exceed the amounts due for Insurance Premiums and provided that no Trigger Period exists, Lender shall, in its sole discretion, return any excess to Borrower or credit such excess against future payments to be made to the Insurance Funds. Any Insurance Funds remaining in the Insurance Account after the Obligations have been paid in full shall be returned to Borrower promptly thereafter (but no later than five (5) Business Days after the date the Obligations have been paid in full).

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in Section 6.4.1, in the event that an Acceptable Blanket Policy is in effect with respect to the Policies required pursuant to Section 5.1, deposits into the Insurance Account required for Insurance Premiums pursuant to Section 6.4.1 above shall be suspended to the extent that Insurance Premiums relate to such Acceptable Blanket Policy. As of the date hereof, an Acceptable Blanket Policy is in effect with respect to the Policies required as of the Closing Date pursuant to Section 5.1.
Section 6.5    FF&E Reserve Funds.
6.5.1    Deposits of FF&E Reserve Funds.

77

    

(b)    In the event the Pre-Approved Manager Conditions are not satisfied or at such time as Manager is no longer reserving for FF&E Reserve Funds, Lender shall direct Servicer to transfer from the Cash Management Deposit Account (or if there are insufficient funds in the Cash Management Deposit Account, Borrower shall deposit into the Cash Management Deposit Account) on each Monthly Payment Date, the Monthly FF&E Reserve Amount into an Account (the “FF&E Reserve Account”).
(c)    Amounts deposited from time to time into the FF&E Deposit Account or FF&E Reserve Account pursuant to this Section 6.5.1 are referred to herein as the “F&E Reserve Funds”.

Amounts deposited from time to time into the Casualty and Condemnation Account pursuant to this Section 6.6 are referred to herein as the “Casualty and Condemnation Funds”. All Casualty and Condemnation Funds shall be held, disbursed and/or applied in accordance with the provisions of Section 5.4 hereof.

At any such time that Manager either (x) does not reserve for or otherwise set aside and pay Common Charges or (y) is not Current Manager or a Pre-Approved Manager, Lender shall direct Servicer to transfer from the Cash Management Deposit Account (or if there are insufficient funds in the Cash Management Deposit Account, Borrower shall deposit into the Cash Management Deposit Account) on each Monthly Payment Date, an amount equal to the monthly amount set forth in the Approved Annual Budget for Common Charges payable on such Monthly Payment Date (or otherwise payable on any other day in the month in which such Monthly Payment Date occurs) (plus any other amounts that may be due for such Common Charges which are not included in the Approved Annual Budget), into an Account (the “Common Charges Account”).  Amounts deposited from time to time in the Common Charges Account pursuant to this Section 6.7 are referred to herein as the “Common Charges Funds”.  Provided that no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, Lender will (a) remit funds in the Common Charges Account to an account designated by the Board of Directors or Association for payment of Common Charges or (b) reimburse Borrower for such amounts upon presentation of evidence of payment.  In making any payment relating to Common Charges, Lender may do so according to any bill, statement or estimate procured from the Board of Directors or Association 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.  Lender may increase the amount required to be maintained on deposit in the Common Charges Account to the amount Lender 

79

If a Trigger Period shall be continuing (other than a Trigger Period continuing solely because of the continuance of a Mezzanine Trigger Period), all Available Cash shall be paid to Lender, which amounts shall be transferred by Lender into an Account (the “Excess Cash Account”) to be held by Lender as cash collateral for the Debt. Amounts on deposit from time to time in the Excess Cash Account pursuant to this Section 6.9 are referred to as the “Excess Cash Funds”. Any Excess Cash Funds on deposit in the Excess Cash Account not previously disbursed or applied shall, upon the termination of such Trigger Period, be added to the Rents disbursed on the next Monthly Payment Date pursuant to Section 6.10.1. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Lender shall have the right, but not the obligation, at any time after an Event of Default and the acceleration of the Debt, in its sole and absolute discretion to apply any and all Excess Cash Funds then on deposit in the Excess Cash Account to the Debt or Obligations, in such order and in such manner as Lender shall elect in its sole and absolute discretion, including to make a prepayment of principal (together with the applicable Prepayment Fee) or any other amounts due hereunder.

(i)    First, to the extent not paid by Manager, to the Tax Account, to make the required payments of Tax Funds as required under Section 6.3;

81

    

6.10.2    Failure to Make Payments. The failure of Borrower (or Manager, as applicable) to make all of the payments required under clauses (i) through (x) of Section 6.10.1 in full on each Monthly Payment Date shall constitute an Event of Default under this Agreement; provided, however, if adequate funds are available in the Cash Management Deposit Account for such payments, and Borrower is not otherwise in Default hereunder, the failure by the Cash Management Deposit Bank to allocate such funds into the appropriate Accounts shall not constitute an Event of Default.
6.10.3    Application After Event of Default. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Article 6, upon an Event of Default and an acceleration of the Debt, Lender, at its option, may apply any Gross Revenue then in the possession of Lender, Servicer, Clearing Bank, FF&E Deposit Bank or Cash Management Deposit Bank (including any Reserve Funds on deposit in any Clearing Account, the Excess Cash Account, Cash Management Deposit Account, the FF&E Reserve Account or FF&E Deposit Account) to the payment of the Debt in such order, proportion and priority as Lender may determine in its sole and absolute discretion. Lender’s right to withdraw and apply any of the foregoing funds shall be in addition to all other rights and remedies provided to Lender under the Loan Documents. Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent funds are available in the Cash Management Deposit Account, amounts collected specifically for the payment of sales and use taxes will be paid by Lender directly to the appropriate taxing authority (as directed by Borrower in writing) for such purposes notwithstanding the occurrence of such Event of Default and acceleration.  
Section 6.11    Security Interest in Reserve Funds. As security for payment of the Debt and the performance by Borrower of all other terms, conditions and provisions of the Loan Documents, Borrower hereby pledges and assigns to Lender, and grants to Lender a security interest in, all Borrower’s right, title and interest in and to all Gross Revenue and in and to all payments to or monies held in the Manager Account, the Clearing Account, the Excess Cash Account, the FF&E Reserve Account, the FF&E Deposit Account, the Cash Management Deposit Account, and all other Accounts created pursuant to this Agreement (collectively, the “Cash Management Accounts”). Borrower hereby grants to Lender a continuing security interest in, and agrees to hold in trust for the benefit of Lender, all Rents in its possession prior to the (i) payment of such Gross Revenue to Lender or (ii) deposit of such Gross Revenue into the FF&E Deposit Account (so long as the FF&E Deposit Account is being utilized pursuant to Section 6.5) or the Cash Management Deposit Account. Borrower shall not (and shall cause Manager to agree), without obtaining the prior written consent of Lender, further pledge, assign or grant any security interest in any Cash Management Account, or permit any Lien to attach thereto, or any levy to be made thereon, or any UCC Financing Statements, except those naming Lender as the secured party, to be filed with respect thereto. This Agreement is, among other things, intended by the parties to be a security agreement for purposes of the UCC. Upon an Event of Default and acceleration of the Debt, Lender may apply any sums in any Cash Management Deposit Account in any order and in any manner as Lender shall elect in 

82

    

Lender’s discretion (subject to the agreement set forth in Section 6.10.3 with respect to sales and use taxes) without seeking the appointment of a receiver and without adversely affecting the rights of Lender to foreclose the Lien of the Mortgage or exercise its other rights under the Loan Documents. The FF&E Deposit Account and the Cash Management Accounts shall not constitute trust funds and may be commingled with other monies held by Lender. All interest which accrues on the funds in any Account shall accrue for the benefit of Lender and shall be taxable to Borrower. Upon repayment in full of the Debt, all remaining funds in the Accounts, if any, shall be promptly disbursed to Borrower.

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

93

    

by, or applicable to, Borrower or at law or in equity may be exercised by Lender at any time and from time to time, whether or not all or any of the Obligations shall be declared due and payable, and whether or not Lender shall have commenced any foreclosure proceeding or other action for the enforcement of its rights and remedies under any of the Loan Documents with respect to the Property. The rights, powers and remedies of Lender under this Agreement shall be cumulative and not exclusive of any other right, power or remedy which Lender may have against Borrower pursuant to this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, or existing at law or in equity or otherwise. Lender’s rights, powers and remedies may be pursued independently, singly, successively, together or otherwise, at such time and in such order as Lender may determine in its sole discretion, to the fullest extent permitted by law, without impairing or otherwise affecting the other rights and remedies of Lender permitted by law or contract or as set forth herein or in the other Loan Documents or by equity. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, if an Event of Default is continuing (i) Lender shall not be subject to any “one action” or “election of remedies” law or rule, and (ii) all Liens and other rights, remedies or privileges provided to Lender shall remain in full force and effect until Lender has exhausted all of its remedies against the Property and the Mortgage has been foreclosed, sold and/or otherwise realized upon in satisfaction of the Obligations or the Obligations have been paid in full. 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 shall not be construed to be a waiver of any subsequent Default or Event of Default by Borrower or to impair any remedy, right or power consequent thereon.
8.2.3    Severance. 
(a)    During the continuance of an Event of Default, Lender shall have the right from time to time to partially foreclose the Mortgage in any manner and for any amounts secured by the Mortgage then due and payable as determined by Lender in its sole discretion, including the following circumstances: (i) in the event Borrower defaults beyond any applicable grace period in the payment of one or more scheduled payments of principal and interest, Lender may foreclose the Mortgage to recover such delinquent payments, or (ii) in the event Lender elects to accelerate less than the entire Outstanding Principal Balance, Lender may foreclose the Mortgage to recover so much of the principal balance of the Loan as Lender may accelerate and such other sums secured by the Mortgage as Lender may elect. Notwithstanding one or more partial foreclosures, the Property shall remain subject to the Mortgage to secure payment of the sums secured by the Mortgage and not previously recovered.
(b)    During the continuance of an Event of Default, Lender shall have the right from time to time to sever the Note and the other Loan Documents into one or more separate notes, mortgages and other security documents in such denominations as Lender shall determine in its 

94

    

sole discretion for purposes of evidencing and enforcing its rights and remedies provided hereunder. Borrower shall execute and deliver to Lender from time to time, promptly after the request of Lender, a severance agreement and such other documents as Lender shall request in order to effect the severance described in the preceding sentence, all in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Lender. Borrower hereby absolutely and irrevocably appoints Lender as its true and lawful attorney, coupled with an interest, in its name and stead to make and execute all documents necessary or desirable to effect the aforesaid severance, Borrower ratifying all that its said attorney shall do by virtue thereof; provided, however, Lender shall not make or execute any such documents under such power until three (3) days after written notice has been given to Borrower by Lender of Lender’s intent to exercise its rights under such power.
(c)    During the continuance of an Event of Default, any amounts recovered from the Property or any other collateral for the Loan after an Event of Default may be applied by Lender toward the payment of any interest and/or principal of the Loan and/or any other amounts due under the Loan Documents, in such order, priority and proportions as Lender in its sole discretion shall determine.
8.2.4    Lender’s Right to Perform. If Borrower fails to perform any covenant or obligation contained herein and such failure to perform may likely result, in Lender's good faith opinion, in imminent harm to the Property, other property or persons using the Property, forfeiture of the Property, closure of all or any material portion of the Hotel, loss of insurance coverage, or may materially and adversely affect the Loan (or Borrower's ability to repay it)  and such failure shall continue for a period of five (5) Business Days after Borrower’s receipt of written notice thereof from Lender, without in any way limiting Lender’s right to exercise any of its rights, powers or remedies as provided hereunder, or under any of the other Loan Documents, Lender may, but shall have no obligation to, perform, or cause the performance of, such covenant or obligation, and all costs, expenses, liabilities, penalties and fines of Lender incurred or paid in connection therewith shall be payable by Borrower to Lender upon written demand and if not paid shall be added to the Obligations (and to the extent permitted under applicable laws, secured by the Mortgage and the other Loan Documents) and shall bear interest thereafter at the Default Rate. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Lender shall have no obligation to send written notice to Borrower of any such failure.

Borrower also agrees to reimburse Lender, the Lender Group, the Issuer and/or the Underwriter Group for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by Lender, the Lender Group, the Issuer and/or the Underwriter Group in connection with investigating or defending the Liabilities. Borrower’s liability under this paragraph will be limited to Liability that arises out of, or is based upon, an untrue statement or omission made in reliance upon, and in conformity with, information furnished to 

100

    

Lender by or on behalf of Borrower in connection with the preparation of the Disclosure Document or in connection with the underwriting or closing of the Loan, including financial statements of Borrower, operating statements and rent rolls with respect to the Property. This indemnification provision will be in addition to any liability which Borrower may otherwise have.

In the event that any action is brought against any indemnified party, and it notifies the indemnifying party of the commencement thereof, the indemnifying party will be entitled, jointly with any other indemnifying party, to participate therein and, to the extent that it (or they) may elect by written notice delivered to the indemnified party promptly after receiving the aforesaid notice from such indemnified party, to assume the defense thereof with counsel satisfactory to such indemnified party. After notice from the indemnifying party to such indemnified party pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence of this Section 9.2(d), such indemnifying party shall not pay for any legal or other expenses subsequently incurred by such indemnified party in connection with the defense thereof other than reasonable costs of investigation; provided, however, if the defendants in any such action include both the indemnified party and the indemnifying party and the indemnified party shall have reasonably concluded that there are any legal defenses available to it and/or other indemnified parties that are different from or additional 

101

    

to those available to the indemnifying party, the indemnified party or parties shall have the right to select separate counsel to assert such legal defenses and to otherwise participate in the defense of such action on behalf of such indemnified party at the cost of the indemnifying party. The indemnifying party shall not be liable for the expenses of more than one separate counsel unless an indemnified party shall have reasonably concluded that there may be legal defenses available to it that are different from or additional to those available to any other indemnified party. Without the prior written consent of Lender (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed), no indemnifying party shall settle or compromise or consent to the entry of any judgment in any pending or threatened claim, action, suit or proceeding in respect of which indemnification may be sought hereunder (whether or not any indemnified party is an actual or potential party to such claim, action, suit or proceeding) unless the indemnifying party shall have given Lender reasonable prior written notice thereof and shall have obtained an unconditional release of each indemnified party hereunder from all liability arising out of such claim, action, suit or proceedings, and such settlement requires no statement as to, or an admission of, fault, culpability or a failure to act, by or on behalf of the Indemnified Party.
(e)    In order to provide for just and equitable contribution in circumstances in which the indemnity agreement provided for in Section 9.2(b) or (c) is for any reason held to be unenforceable as to an indemnified party in respect of any Liabilities (or action in respect thereof) referred to therein which would otherwise be indemnifiable under Section 9.2(b) or (c), the indemnifying party shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by the indemnified party as a result of such Liabilities (or action in respect thereof); provided, however, that no Person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any Person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation. In determining the amount of contribution to which the respective parties are entitled, the following factors shall be considered: (i) the Issuer’s and Borrower’s relative knowledge and access to information concerning the matter with respect to which the claim was asserted; (ii) the opportunity to correct and prevent any statement or omission; and (iii) any other equitable considerations appropriate in the circumstances. Lender and Borrower hereby agree that it would not be equitable if the amount of such contribution were determined by pro rata or per capita allocation.
(f)    The liabilities and obligations of both Borrower and Lender under this Section 9.2 shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the satisfaction and discharge of the Debt.
Section 9.3    Severance. 
9.3.1    Severance Documentation. Lender, without in any way limiting Lender’s other rights hereunder, in its sole and absolute discretion, shall have the right, at any time (whether prior to or after any sale, participation or Securitization of all or any portion of the Loan), to require 

102

    

Borrower (at no material cost to Borrower) to execute and deliver “component” notes and/or modify the Loan in order to create one or more senior and subordinate notes (i.e., an A/B or A/B/C structure) and/or one or more additional components of the Note or Notes (including the implementation of one or more New Mezzanine Loans (in accordance with Section 9.3.2 below)), reduce the number of components of the Note or Notes, revise the interest rate for each component, reallocate the principal balances of the Notes and/or the components, increase or decrease the monthly debt service payments for each component or eliminate the component structure and/or the multiple note structure of the Loan (including the elimination of the related allocations of principal and interest payments), provided that the Outstanding Principal Balance of all components immediately after the effective date of such modification equals the Outstanding Principal Balance immediately prior to such modification and the weighted average of the interest rates for all components immediately after the effective date of such modification equals the interest rate of the original Note immediately prior to such modification. At Lender’s election, each note comprising the Loan may be subject to one or more Securitizations. Lender shall have the right to modify the Note and/or Notes and any components in accordance with this Section 9.3 and, provided that such modification shall comply with the terms of this Section 9.3, it shall become immediately effective. 
9.3.2    New Mezzanine Loan Option. Lender, without in any way limiting Lender’s other rights hereunder, in its sole and absolute discretion, shall have the right, at any time (whether prior to or after any Secondary Market Transaction), to create one or more mezzanine loans (each, a “New Mezzanine Loan”), to establish different interest rates and to reallocate the Outstanding Principal Balance and Monthly Interest Payment Amount of the Loan to the Loan and such New Mezzanine Loan(s) and to require the payment of the Loan and any New Mezzanine Loan(s) in such order of priority as may be designated by Lender; provided, that the outstanding principal balance of the Loan and such New Mezzanine Loan(s) immediately after the effective date of the creation of such New Mezzanine Loan(s) equals the Outstanding Principal Balance immediately prior to such modification and the weighted average of the interest rates for the Loan and such New Mezzanine Loan(s) immediately after the effective date of the creation of such New Mezzanine Loan(s) equals the interest rate of the original Note immediately prior to such modification. Borrower shall cause the formation of one or more special purpose, bankruptcy remote entities as required by Lender in order to serve as the borrower under any New Mezzanine Loan (each, a “New Mezzanine Loan Borrower”) and the applicable organizational documents of Borrower shall be amended and modified as necessary or required in the formation of any New Mezzanine Loan Borrower.

103

    

9.3.3    Cooperation; Execution; Delivery. Borrower shall reasonably cooperate with all reasonable requests of Lender in connection with this Section 9.3. If requested by Lender, Borrower shall promptly execute and deliver such documents as shall be required by Lender and any Rating Agency in connection with any modification or New Mezzanine Loan pursuant to this Section 9.3, all in form and substance satisfactory to Lender and satisfactory to any applicable Rating Agency, including, the severance of security documents if requested and/or, in connection with the creation of any New Mezzanine Loan: (i) execution and delivery of a promissory note and loan documents necessary to evidence such New Mezzanine Loan, (ii) execution and delivery of such amendments to the Loan Documents as are necessary in connection with the creation of such New Mezzanine Loan, (iii) delivery of opinions of legal counsel with respect to due execution, authority and enforceability of any modification documents or documents evidencing or securing any New Mezzanine Loan, as applicable and (iv) with respect to any New Mezzanine Loan, delivery of an additional Insolvency Opinion for the Loan and a substantive non-consolidation opinion; each as reasonably acceptable to Lender, prospective investors and/or the Rating Agencies. In the event Borrower fails to execute and deliver such documents to Lender within five (5) Business Days following such request by Lender, Borrower hereby absolutely and irrevocably appoints Lender as its true and lawful attorney, coupled with an interest, in its name and stead to make and execute all documents necessary or desirable to effect such transactions, Borrower hereby ratifying all that such attorney shall do by virtue thereof. It shall be an Event of Default under this Agreement, the Note, the Mortgage and the other Loan Documents if Borrower fails to comply with any of the terms, covenants or conditions of this Section 9.3 after expiration of ten (10) Business Days after written notice thereof.
Section 9.4    Costs and Expenses. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Article 9, Borrower shall be responsible for the costs with respect to (i) any transaction described in Section 9.3 (a “Severance Transaction”) only if such Severance Transaction is completed on or before three (3) months after the date hereof and (ii) a Securitization only if the Securitization is completed on or before two years after the date hereof. Severance Transactions completed after the third (3rd) month anniversary of the date hereof or Securitization completed two years after the date hereof shall be at Lender’s cost, other than expenses of Borrower’s counsel, accountants and consultants engaged by Borrower. This section is not intended to limit in any way Borrower's obligations set forth in Section 9.2. 
ARTICLE 10

Section 10.9    Severability. Wherever possible, each provision of this Agreement shall be interpreted in such manner as to be effective and valid under applicable law, but if any provision of this Agreement shall be prohibited by or invalid under applicable law, such provision shall be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or invalidity, without invalidating the remainder of such provision or the remaining provisions of this Agreement.
Section 10.10    Preferences. Lender shall have the continuing and exclusive right to apply or reverse and reapply any and all payments by Borrower to any portion of the Obligations of Borrower hereunder. To the extent Borrower makes a payment or payments to Lender, which payment or proceeds or any part thereof are subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside or required to be repaid to a trustee, receiver or any other party under any bankruptcy law, state or federal law, common law or equitable cause, then, to the extent of such payment or proceeds received, the Obligations hereunder or part thereof intended to be satisfied shall be revived and continue in full force and effect, as if such payment or proceeds had not been received by Lender.
Section 10.11    Waiver of Notice. Borrower shall not be entitled to any notices of any nature whatsoever from Lender except with respect to matters for which this Agreement or the other Loan Documents specifically and expressly provide for the giving of notice by Lender to Borrower and except with respect to matters for which Borrower is not, pursuant to applicable Legal Requirements, permitted to waive the giving of notice. Borrower hereby expressly waives the right to receive any notice from Lender with respect to any matter for which this Agreement or the other Loan Documents do not specifically and expressly provide for the giving of notice by Lender to Borrower.
Section 10.12    Remedies of Borrower. In the event that a claim or adjudication is made that Lender or its agents have acted unreasonably or unreasonably delayed acting in any case where, by law or under this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, Lender or such agent, as the case may be, has an obligation to act reasonably or promptly, neither Lender nor its agents shall be liable for any monetary damages and Borrower’s sole remedy shall be limited to commencing an action seeking injunctive relief or declaratory judgment. Any action or proceeding to determine whether Lender has acted reasonably shall be determined by an action seeking declaratory judgment.
Section 10.13    Offsets, Counterclaims and Defenses. Any assignee of Lender’s interest in and to this Agreement 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 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 10.14    No Joint Venture or Partnership; No Third Party Beneficiaries.
(a)    Borrower and Lender intend that the relationships created hereunder and under the other Loan Documents be solely that of borrower and lender. Nothing herein or therein is intended to create a joint venture, partnership, tenancy-in-common or joint tenancy relationship between Borrower and Lender nor to grant Lender any interest in the Property other than that of mortgagee, beneficiary or lender.
(b)    The Loan Documents are solely for the benefit of Lender and Borrower (and the Lender Group, the Issuer and the Underwriter Group with respect to Section 9.2(b)) and nothing contained in any Loan Document shall be deemed to confer upon anyone other than the Lender and Borrower any right to insist upon or to enforce the performance or observance of any of the obligations contained therein.
Section 10.15    Publicity. Except as required under any Securities law and press releases in connection with any filings required by the Securities law, 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 Lender, the Affiliate of Lender that acts as the issuer with respect to a Securitization or any of their other Affiliates shall be subject to the prior written reasonable approval of Lender. Lender shall have the right to issue any of the foregoing without Borrower’s approval and Borrower authorizes Lender to issue press releases, advertisements and other promotional materials in connection with Lender’s own promotional and marketing activities, including in connection with a Secondary Market Transaction, and such materials may describe the Loan in general terms or in detail and Lender’s participation therein in the Loan. 
Section 10.16    Waiver of Marshalling of Assets. To the fullest extent permitted by law, Borrower, for itself and its successors and assigns, waives all rights to a marshalling of the assets of Borrower, Borrower’s members or partners, as applicable, and others with interests in Borrower, and of the Property, and shall not assert any right under any laws pertaining to the marshalling of assets, the sale in inverse order of alienation, homestead exemption, the administration of estates of decedents, or any other matters whatsoever to defeat, reduce or affect the right of Lender under the Loan Documents to a sale of the Property for the collection of the Obligations without any prior or different resort for collection, or of the right of Lender to the payment of the Obligations out of the net proceeds of the Property in preference to every other claimant whatsoever.
Section 10.17    Certain Waivers. Borrower hereby waives the right to assert a counterclaim, other than a compulsory counterclaim, in any action or proceeding brought against it by Lender or its agents or otherwise to offset any obligations to make the payments required by the Loan Documents. No failure by Lender to perform any of its obligations hereunder shall be a valid defense to, or result in any offset against, any payments which Borrower is obligated to make under any of the Loan Documents. Without limiting any of the other provisions contained herein, Borrower hereby unconditionally and irrevocably waives, to the maximum extent not prohibited by applicable law, any rights it may have to claim or recover against Lender in any legal action or proceeding any special, exemplary, punitive or consequential damages. 
Section 10.18    Conflict; Construction of Documents; Reliance. In the event of any conflict between the provisions of this Agreement and any of the other Loan Documents, the provisions of this Agreement shall control. The parties hereto acknowledge that 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. Borrower acknowledges that, with respect to the Loan, Borrower shall rely solely on its own judgment and advisors in entering into the Loan, without relying in any manner on any statements, representations or recommendations of Lender or any parent, subsidiary or affiliate of Lender. Lender shall not be subject to any limitation whatsoever in the exercise of any rights or remedies available to it under any of the Loan Documents or any other agreements or instruments which govern the Loan by virtue of the ownership by it or any parent, subsidiary or affiliate of Lender of any equity interest any of them may acquire in Borrower, and Borrower hereby irrevocably waives the right to raise any defense or take any action on the basis of the foregoing with respect to Lender’s exercise of any such rights or remedies. Borrower acknowledges that Lender engages in the business of real estate financings and other real estate transactions and investments which may be viewed as adverse to or competitive with the business of Borrower or its Affiliates.
Section 10.19    Brokers and Financial Advisors. Borrower hereby represents that it has dealt with no financial advisors, brokers, underwriters, placement agents, agents or finders in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. Borrower shall indemnify, defend and hold Lender harmless from and against any and all claims, liabilities, losses, costs and expenses of any kind (including Lender’s attorneys’ fees and expenses) in any way relating to or arising out of a claim by any Person that such Person acted on behalf of Borrower or Lender in connection with the transactions contemplated herein. The provisions of this Section 10.19 shall survive the expiration and termination of this Agreement and the payment of the Obligations.
Section 10.20    Prior Agreements. This Agreement and the other Loan Documents contain the entire agreement of the parties hereto and thereto and their respective affiliates in respect of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby, and all prior agreements among or between such parties, including any confidentiality agreements or any similar agreements between or among any such parties, whether oral or written, are superseded by the terms of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. 
Section 10.21    Servicer.
(a)    At the option of Lender, the Loan may be serviced by a servicer or special servicer (the “Servicer”) selected by Lender and Lender may delegate all or any portion of its responsibilities under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents to the Servicer pursuant to a servicing agreement (the “Servicing Agreement”) between Lender and Servicer. Borrower shall not be responsible for any set-up fees or any other initial costs relating to or arising under the Servicing Agreement. Borrower shall be responsible for payment of the annual master servicing fee due to the Servicer under the Servicing Agreement. 
(b)    Other than as set forth in Section 10.21(a) above, Borrower shall pay all of the fees and expenses of the Servicer and any reasonable third-party fees and expenses in connection with the Loan, including any prepayments, releases of the Property, approvals under the Loan Documents requested by Borrower, other requests under the Loan, defeasance, assumption of Borrower’s obligations or modification of the Loan, as well as any fees and expenses in connection with the special servicing or work-out of the Loan or enforcement of the Loan Documents, including, special servicing fees, operating or trust advisor fees (if the Loan is a specially serviced loan or in connection with a workout), work-out fees, liquidation fees, reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses and other reasonable fees and expenses in connection with the modification or restructuring of the Loan.
Section 10.22    Joint and Several Liability. If more than one Person has executed this Agreement as “Borrower,” the representations, covenants, warranties and obligations of all such Persons hereunder shall be joint and several.
Section 10.23    Creation of Security Interest. Notwithstanding any other provision set forth in this Agreement, the Note, the Mortgage or any of the other Loan Documents, Lender may at any time create a security interest in all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement, the Note, the Mortgage and any other Loan Document (including the advances owing to it) in favor of any Federal Reserve Bank in accordance with Regulation A of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System.
Section 10.24    Taxes. Any and all payments by Borrower hereunder and under the other Loan Documents shall be made free and clear of and without deduction for any and all present or future taxes, levies, imposts, deductions, charges or withholdings, and all liabilities with respect thereto, excluding taxes imposed on Lender’s income, and franchise taxes imposed on Lender by the law or regulation of any Governmental Authority (all such non-excluded taxes, levies, imposts, deductions, charges, withholdings and liabilities being hereinafter referred to in this Section 10.24 as “Applicable Taxes”). If Borrower shall be required by law to deduct any Applicable Taxes from or in respect of any sum payable hereunder to Lender, the following shall apply: (i) the sum payable shall be increased as may be necessary so that after making all required deductions (including deductions applicable to additional sums payable under this Section 10.24), Lender receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions been made, (ii) Borrower shall make such deductions and (iii) Borrower shall pay the full amount deducted to the relevant taxation authority or other authority in accordance with applicable law. Payments pursuant to this Section 10.24 shall be made within ten (10) days after the date Lender makes written demand therefor.
Section 10.25    Assignments and Participations. In addition to any other rights of Lender hereunder, the Loan, the Note, the Loan Documents and/or Lender’s rights, title, obligations and interests therein may be sold, assigned, participated or otherwise transferred by Lender and any of its successors and assigns to any Person at any time in its sole and absolute discretion, in whole or in part, whether by operation of law (pursuant to a merger or other successor in interest) or otherwise without notice to or consent from Borrower or any other Person. Upon such assignment, all references to Lender in this Agreement and in any Loan Document shall be deemed to refer to such assignee or successor in interest and such assignee or successor in interest shall thereafter stand in the place of Lender in all respects. Except as expressly permitted herein, Borrower may not assign its rights, title, interests or obligations under this Agreement or under any of the Loan Documents.
Section 10.26    Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which when so executed and delivered shall be an original, but all of which shall together constitute one and the same instrument.
Section 10.27    Set-Off.  In addition to any rights and remedies of Lender provided by this Agreement and by law, Lender shall have the right in its sole discretion, without prior notice to Borrower, any such notice being expressly waived by Borrower to the extent permitted by applicable law, upon any amount becoming due and payable by Borrower hereunder (whether at the stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise), to set-off and appropriate and apply against such amount any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final), in any currency, and any other credits, indebtedness or claims, in any currency, in each case whether direct or indirect, absolute or contingent, matured or unmatured, at any time held or owing by Lender or any Affiliate thereof to or for the credit or the account of Borrower; provided however, Lender may only exercise such right during the continuance of an Event of Default. Lender agrees promptly to notify Borrower after any such set-off and application made by Lender; provided that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such set-off and application.

(a)Borrower (i) has been, is, and will be organized solely for the purpose of acquiring, developing, owning, holding, selling, leasing, transferring, exchanging, managing and operating the Property, entering into this Agreement with the Lender, refinancing the Property in connection with a permitted repayment of the Loan, and transacting lawful business that is incident, necessary and appropriate to accomplish the foregoing, and (ii) has not owned, does not own, and will not own any asset or property other than (A) the Property, and (B) incidental personal property necessary for the ownership or operation of the Property.

(c)    Borrower has not and will not enter into any contract or agreement with any Affiliate of Borrower, except upon terms and conditions that are intrinsically fair, commercially reasonable, and no less favorable to it than would be available on an arms-length basis with third parties other than any such party.

(e)    Borrower has not made and will not make any loans or advances to any third party (including any Affiliate or constituent party), and has not and shall not acquire obligations or securities of its Affiliates.

(h)    Except to the extent that Borrower is (i) required to file consolidated tax returns by law; or (ii) treated as a “disregarded entity” for tax purposes and is not required to file tax returns under applicable law, (1) Borrower has maintained and will maintain all of its books, records, financial statements and bank accounts separate from those of its Affiliates and any other Person; (2) Borrower’s assets will not be listed as assets on the financial statement of any other Person; it being understood that Borrower’s assets may be included in a consolidated financial statement of its Affiliates provided that (i) appropriate notation shall be made on such consolidated financial statements to indicate the separateness of Borrower and such Affiliates and to indicate that Borrower’s assets and credit are not available to satisfy the debts and other obligations of such Affiliates or any other Person, and (ii) such assets shall be listed on Borrower’s own separate balance sheet; and (3) Borrower will file its own tax returns (to the extent Borrower is required to file any tax returns) and will not file a consolidated federal income tax return with any other Person.

(m)    Borrower has and will maintain its assets in such a manner that it will not be costly or difficult to segregate, ascertain or identify its individual assets from those of any Affiliate or constituent party or any other Person.
(n)    Except to the extent expressly permitted by the Agreement, Borrower has not and will not assume or guarantee or become obligated for the debts of any other Person and does not and will not hold itself out to be responsible for or have its credit available to satisfy the debts or obligations of any other Person.

In addition, the organizational documents of Borrower shall provide that no Independent Director or Independent Manager (as applicable) of Borrower may be removed or replaced without Cause and unless Borrower provides Lender with not less than three (3) Business Days’ prior written notice of (a) any proposed removal of an Independent Director or Independent Manager (as applicable), together with a statement as to the reasons for such removal, and (b) the identity of the proposed replacement Independent Director or Independent Manager, as applicable, together with a certification that such replacement satisfies the requirements set forth in the organizational documents for an Independent Director or Independent Manager (as applicable). 
(p)    The organizational documents of Borrower shall also provide an express acknowledgment that Lender is an intended third-party beneficiary of the “special purpose” provisions of such organizational documents.
(q)    The organizational documents of Borrower shall provide that the board of directors, the Committee or Sole Member (as applicable) of Borrower shall not take any action which, under the terms of any certificate of formation, limited liability company operating agreement or any voting trust agreement, requires an unanimous vote of the board of directors (or the Committee as applicable) of Borrower unless at the time of such action there shall be (A) at least two (2) members of the board of directors (or the Committee as applicable) who are Independent Directors or Independent Managers, as applicable (and such Independent Directors or Independent Managers, as applicable, have participated in such vote) or (B) if there is no board of directors or Committee, then such Independent Managers shall have participated in such vote. The organizational documents 

Sch. V-3

    

of Borrower shall provide that Borrower will not and Borrower agrees that it will not, without the unanimous written consent of its board of directors, its Committee or its Sole Member (as applicable), including, or together with, the Independent Directors or Independent Managers (as applicable) (i) file or consent to the filing of any petition, either voluntary or involuntary, to take advantage of any applicable insolvency, bankruptcy, liquidation or reorganization statute, (ii) seek or consent to the appointment of a receiver, liquidator or any similar official of Borrower or a substantial part of its business, (iii) take any action that might cause such entity to become insolvent, (iv) make an assignment for the benefit of creditors, (v) admit in writing its inability to pay debts generally as they become due, (vi) declare or effectuate a moratorium on the payment of any obligations, or (vii) take any action in furtherance of the foregoing.

In addition, the organizational documents of Borrower shall provide that, when voting with respect to any matters set forth in the immediately preceding sentence of this clause (q), the Independent Directors or Independent Managers (as applicable) shall consider only the interests of Borrower, including its creditors. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, such documents shall expressly provide that, to the greatest extent permitted by law, except for duties to Borrower (including duties to the members of Borrower solely to the extent of their respective economic interest in Borrower and to Borrower’s creditors as set forth in the immediately preceding sentence), such Independent Directors or Independent Managers (as applicable) shall not owe any fiduciary duties to, and shall not consider, in acting or otherwise voting on any matter for which their approval is required, the interests of (i) the members of Borrower, (ii) other Affiliates of Borrower, or (iii) any group of Affiliates of which Borrower is a part; provided, however, the foregoing shall not eliminate the implied contractual covenant of good faith and fair dealing.
(r)    The organizational documents of Borrower shall provide that, as long as any portion of the Obligations remains outstanding, upon the occurrence of any event that causes Sole Member to cease to be a member of Borrower (other than (i) 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 (ii) 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), each of the persons acting as an Independent Director or Independent Manager (as applicable) of Borrower shall, without any action of any Person and simultaneously with Sole Member ceasing to be a member of Borrower, automatically be admitted as members of Borrower (in each case, individually, a “Special Member” and collectively, the “Special Members”) and shall preserve and continue the existence of Borrower without dissolution. The organizational documents of Borrower shall further provide that for so long as any portion of the Obligations is outstanding, no Special Member may resign or transfer its rights as Special Member unless (i) a successor Special Member has been admitted to Borrower as 

Sch. V-4

    

a Special Member, and (ii) such successor Special Member has also accepted its appointment as an Independent Director or Independent Manager (as applicable).
(s)    The organizational documents of Borrower shall provide that, as long as any portion of the Obligations remains outstanding, except as expressly permitted pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, (i) Sole Member may not resign, and (ii) no additional member shall be admitted to Borrower.
(t)    The organizational documents of Borrower shall provide that, as long as any portion of the Obligations remains outstanding: (i) Borrower shall be dissolved, and its affairs shall be wound up, only upon the first to occur of the following: (A) the termination of the legal existence of the last remaining member of Borrower or the occurrence of any other event which terminates the continued membership of the last remaining member of Borrower in Borrower unless the business of Borrower is continued in a manner permitted by its operating agreement or the Delaware Limited Liability Company Act (the “Act”), or (B) the entry of a decree of judicial dissolution under Section 18-802 of the Act; (ii) 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; (iii) the bankruptcy of Sole Member or a Special Member shall not cause such Sole Member or Special Member, respectively, to cease to be a member of Borrower and upon the occurrence of such an event, the business of Borrower shall continue without dissolution; (iv) in the event of the dissolution of Borrower, Borrower shall conduct only such activities as are necessary to wind up its affairs (including the sale of the assets of Borrower in an orderly manner), and the assets of Borrower shall be applied in the manner, and in the order of priority, set forth in Section 18-804 of the Act; and (v) to the fullest extent permitted by law, each of Sole Member and the Special Members shall irrevocably waive any right or power that they might have to cause Borrower or any of its assets to be partitioned, to cause the appointment of a receiver for all or any portion of the assets of Borrower, to compel any sale of all or any portion of the assets of Borrower pursuant to any applicable law or to file a complaint or to institute any proceeding at law or in equity to cause the dissolution, liquidation, winding up or termination of Borrower.

Sch. V-5

(ab)    Borrower has not, does not, and will not have any of its obligations guaranteed by any Affiliate (other than from the Guarantor with respect to the Loan).
As used herein:

 Dear Peter, 

This letter sets forth the terms of your resignation as an executive officer of Nordson Corporation (Nordson) and the terms of a paid leave of absence through
January 30, 2015, conditioned upon you signing: (i) this letter agreement (“Agreement”); (ii) the attached Primary Release of Claims (Exhibit 1) within twenty-one (21) days of the date of this letter; and (iii) the
attached Secondary Release of Claims (Exhibit 2) during the period from January 30, 2015 through February 21, 2015, or within twenty-one (21) days following your voluntary termination of employment prior to expiration of the leave of
absence period. All payments and benefits are also subject to your not revoking any of the Release of Claims during the applicable revocation periods. 
 1.
Cessation of Status as an Officer. Effective June 6, 2014, your status as an executive officer of Nordson, and of any subsidiaries and other affiliates of Nordson of which you are an officer, and your status as a director of The Nordson
Corporation Foundation will cease. Accordingly, you will not hold yourself out as being an officer or director, or as having any authority to bind, Nordson, any such subsidiary or affiliate, or The Nordson Corporation Foundation. You agree to
execute any documents necessary to reflect the change in status. 
 Even though you will no longer be an officer of Nordson or of any subsidiary or other
affiliate of Nordson, certain restrictions will apply to any purchase or sale of Nordson Common Shares by you. By signing this Agreement, you acknowledge that you have received the summary of those restrictions that is attached to this Agreement as
Exhibit 3 hereto and agree that you will comply with those restrictions. 
 2. Paid Leave of Absence and Transitional Support. You will be placed on
a paid leave of absence commencing June 6, 2014 through January 30, 2015 at which time you will be eligible to elect to retire from Nordson Corporation. During this paid leave of absence you agree to provide support for the transition of
your managerial duties to other Nordson employees. The paid leave of absence expires the earlier of (i) the expiration of the leave period or (ii) the date you choose to voluntarily terminate your employment with Nordson. 

 3. Compensation During the Leave of Absence. As part of the consideration for you to execute the Primary
Release of Claims (Exhibit 1), Nordson will continue to pay you your FY 2014 base salary on a biweekly basis through the leave of absence period. 

4. FY 2014 Cash Incentive Award. As part of the consideration for you to execute the Primary Release of Claims (Exhibit 1), you will receive
payment for the FY 2014 Cash Incentive Award on the settlement date of the Award, based on a full year of participation. You will not receive a FY 2015 Incentive Cash Award. 

5. Performance Share Awards. As part of the consideration for you to execute the Primary Release of Claims (Exhibit 1), the FY 2012-2014, FY 2013-2015
and FY 2014-2016 Performance Share Awards will be paid on their respective settlement date as follows: 
  

	 	•	 	FY 2012-2014: Full payout at actual results, paid in shares on settlement date (Jan. 2015); 

  

	 	•	 	FY 2013-2015: 27/36ths of actual payout, paid in shares on settlement date (Jan. 2016; and 

  

	 	•	 	FY 2014-2016: 15/36ths of actual payout, paid in shares on settlement date (Jan 2017) 

 Should you voluntarily
terminate your employment prior to the expiration of the leave of absence period, the prorata payouts for the FY 2013-2015 and FY 2014-2016 Performance Share Awards will be adjusted accordingly. 

6. Stock Options and Restricted Stock. Unvested stock options and unvested restricted stock granted previously to you under the Amended and Restated
Nordson Corporation 2008 Long-Term Performance Plan and Nordson Corporation 2012 Stock Incentive and Award Plan (collectively, the “Plans”) will vest according to the terms of grant for the respective grants and terms of the Plans. No
additional stock options or restricted stock will be granted to you. 
 As part of the consideration for you to execute the Primary Release of Claims
(Exhibit 1), should you voluntarily terminate your employment with Nordson prior to the expiration of the leave of absence, stock options and restricted stock then remaining unvested will vest as if you were age 55 on the date your employment with
Nordson terminates. Further in such event, your ability to exercise vested stock options will be accordance with terms of grant and rules of the Plans governing the exercise of stock options for Nordson employees who elect to retire at age 55 (early
retirement). 
 7. Health Care Coverage; Pension Plan; 401(k) Plan Through the paid leave of absence period you will continue to participate in the
Nordson health care program; Nordson Salaried Employees’ Pension Plan and Nordson Employees Savings Trust Plan (401(k)), 

  
 2 

 
and other welfare benefit plans extended to other full time employees, such as long term disability and life insurance coverage. For the period of the leave of absence, you will be reimbursed for
tax planning assistance up to a $5,000 maximum. 
 8. Payment at the Conclusion of the Leave of Absence. As part of the consideration for you to
execute the Secondary Release of Claims (Exhibit 2), you will receive a lump sum payment equal to 4 months of FY 2014 base pay - One Hundred Ten Thousand Dollars ($110,000) - following the expiration of the paid leave of absence period. This payment
will be made within (14) fourteen days after you have executed the Secondary Release of Claims (Exhibit 2) and the Release becomes non-revocable. 

Should you voluntarily terminate your employment with Nordson prior to the expiration of the leave of absence, and provided you abide by the restrictive
covenants outlined below in Section 15 and sign the Secondary Release of Claims (Exhibit 2), the payment of this severance benefit will be accelerated. However, you will not receive the Cobra payment outlined in Section 12 below. 

9. Retiree Benefits, Including Medical Insurance Coverage and Life Insurance. If you elect to retire under the Nordson Corporation Salaried Employees
Pension Plan on or after the date you become eligible for early retirement, Nordson will provide you and your family with all benefits extended to retirees of the Company, including but not limited to medical insurance coverage and retiree life
insurance, as and to the extent provided by Nordson’s programs for retirees, as those programs may be amended from time to time. 
 10. Excess
Pension Benefit and Deferred Compensation. Distribution of your account balance in the 2005 Excess Defined Benefit Pension Plan and 2005 Officers’ Deferred Compensation Plan also will be determined by the current distribution election on
file and terms of those plans, respectfully, subject to the payout deferral rules under Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code. 
 11.
Outplacement Services. You will receive outplacement services provided by Right Management Consultants or other firm retained by Nordson to provide such services. 

12. Health Care Continuation. Loss of health care coverage is considered a “qualifying event” under federal law governing health care
coverage (“Cobra”). Under Cobra, you are permitted to continue health care coverage at your expense for a period of up to 18 months following a loss of coverage. 

Should you elect not to commence a pension benefit February 1, 2015 you may continue health care coverage for 18-months provided you make premium
payments to Nordson’s Cobra administrator (currently United Health Care). As further consideration for executing the Secondary Release of Claims (Exhibit 2), Nordson will reimburse you for (4) four months of Cobra continuation coverage
should you timely elect such coverage. Payment of premiums for the balance of the Cobra continuation period will be your responsibility. Specifics of the health care continuation program will be mailed to you separately. 

  
 3 

 Any health care continuation will cease if during the 18-month period you become covered under a health care
program which offers coverage similar to that available to Nordson employees. 
 13. Nordson Equipment and Property. As soon as practicable, you will
return to Nordson any equipment and property that belongs to Nordson, and all materials that contain any Nordson confidential or proprietary information (including any electronic storage devices), that you may have in your possession. You will be
given access to your former office at Nordson to obtain your personal effects at a time agreed upon by you and Nordson. 
 14. Employment Retention
