WARRANTIES OF BORROWER

punctual payment and

 

2

 

performance of all of the Debt (whether at
stated maturity, by required prepayment, declaration, acceleration, demand or
otherwise, including, without limitation, the payment of amounts that would
become due but for the operation of the automatic stay under Section 362(a) of
the Bankruptcy Code, 11 U.S.C. §362(a), whether allowed or allowable as claims),
Borrower hereby (i) pledges, transfers, hypothecates and assigns to Lender
the Collateral in which Borrower now or hereafter has rights, and (ii) grants
to Lender a continuing first priority lien on and security interest in and to all
of the Borrower’s rights, whether now owned or hereafter acquired, in the
Collateral.  The inclusion of Proceeds in
the definition of “Collateral” does not authorize Borrower to sell, dispose of
or otherwise use the Collateral in any manner not specifically authorized
hereby.  Lender is hereby
authorized:  (i) to transfer to the
account of Lender or its designee any Pledged Interests whether in the
possession of, or registered in the name of, The Depository Trust Company (the “DTC”)
or other clearing corporation or held otherwise; (ii) to transfer to the
account of Lender or its designee with any Federal Reserve Bank any Pledged Interests
held in book entry form with any such Federal Reserve Bank; and (iii) to
exchange certificates representing or evidencing the Pledged Interests for
certificates of smaller or larger denominations.  To the extent that the Pledged Interests have
not already been transferred to Lender or its designee in a manner sufficient
to perfect Lender’s security interest therein, Borrower shall promptly deliver
or cause to be delivered to Lender all certificates or instruments evidencing
the Pledged Interests, together with duly executed transfer powers or other
appropriate endorsements.  With respect
to any Collateral in the possession of or registered in the name of a custodian
bank or nominee therefor, or any Collateral represented by entries on the books
of any securities intermediary, Borrower agrees to cause such custodian bank or
nominee either to enter into an agreement with Lender satisfactory to Lender in
form and content confirming that the Collateral is held for the account of
Lender, or at the discretion of Lender and subject to the written instructions
of Lender, deliver any such Collateral to Lender and/or cause any such
Collateral to be put in bearer form, registered in the name of Lender or its
nominee, or transferred to the account of Lender with any Federal Reserve Bank,
DTC, or other clearing corporation.  With
respect to any Collateral held in an account maintained by Lender as securities
intermediary, Borrower hereby gives notice to Lender of Lender’s security
interest in such Collateral.  In addition,
Borrower agrees that in the event that any Collateral is held by Lender in a
fiduciary capacity for or on behalf of Borrower as the beneficial owner
thereof, any agreements executed by Borrower in connection therewith are hereby
amended to authorize and direct the pledge, hypothecation and/or transfer of
such Collateral to Lender, as lender, by Lender, as fiduciary, in accordance
with the terms, covenants and conditions of this Agreement.  The rights granted to Lender pursuant to this
Agreement are in addition to the rights granted to Lender pursuant to any such
agreements.  In case of conflict between
the provisions of this Agreement and those of any other such agreement, the
provisions hereof shall prevail.  In the
event that Borrower purchases or otherwise acquires or obtains any additional
Equity Interests in any Corporation, LLC or Partnership, or any rights, or
options, subscriptions or warrants to acquire such Equity Interests, all such
Equity Interests, rights, options, subscriptions or warrants shall
automatically be deemed to be a part of the Collateral pledged by
Borrower.  If any such Equity Interests
are to be evidenced by a certificate, such additional certificates shall be
promptly delivered to Lender, together with Powers related thereto, or other
instruments appropriate to a certificate representing an Equity Interest, duly
executed in blank.  Borrower shall
deliver to Lender all subscriptions, warrants, options and all such other
rights, and upon delivery to Lender, Lender shall hold such subscriptions,
warrants, options and other rights as additional collateral

 

3

 

pledged to secure the Debt; provided,
however, that if Lender determines, in its sole discretion, that the value of
any such subscriptions, warrants, options or other rights shall terminate,
expire or be materially reduced in value by holding the same as Collateral,
Lender shall have the right (but not the obligation), in its sole discretion,
to sell or exercise the same, and if exercised, then the monies disbursed by
Lender in connection therewith shall become part of the Debt and all of the
stock, securities, evidences of indebtedness and other items so acquired shall
be titled in the name of Borrower and shall become part of the Collateral.

 

(b)           Borrower
hereby authorizes Lender to file any financing statements, and amendments to
financing statements, in any jurisdictions and with any filing offices as
Lender may determine, in its sole discretion, are necessary or advisable to
perfect the security interest granted to Lender hereunder. Such financing
statements may describe the collateral in the same manner as described in this
Agreement or may contain an indication or description of collateral that
describes such property in any other manner Lender so chooses, including,
without limitation, describing such property as “all assets, whether now owned
or hereafter acquired” or “all personal property, whether now owned or
hereafter acquired”.

Loan.  No portion of the proceeds of the
Loan will be used for family, personal, agricultural or household use.

 

(q)           Tax
Filings.  Borrower and, if
applicable, each General Partner, have filed all federal, state and local tax
returns required to be filed and have paid or made adequate provision for the
payment of all federal, state and local taxes, charges and assessments payable
by Borrower and, if applicable, the General Partners.  Borrower and, if applicable, the General
Partners, believe that their respective tax returns properly reflect the income
and taxes of Borrower and said General Partner, if any, for the periods covered
thereby, subject only to reasonable adjustments required by the Internal
Revenue Service or other applicable tax authority upon audit.

 

(r)            Not

(s)           ERISA.
 (i) The
assets of Borrower are not and will not become treated as “plan assets”,
whether by operation of law or under regulations promulgated under ERISA.  Each Plan and Welfare Plan, and, to the
knowledge of Borrower, each Multiemployer Plan, is in compliance in all
material respects with, and has been administered in all material respects in
compliance with, its terms and the applicable provisions of ERISA, the Code and
any other applicable Legal Requirement, and no event or condition has occurred
and is continuing as to which Borrower would be under an obligation to furnish
a report to Lender under clause (ii)(A) of this Section.  Other than an application for a favorable
determination letter with respect to a Plan, there are no pending issues or
claims before the Internal Revenue Service, the United

 

10

 

States Department of Labor or any court of
competent jurisdiction related to any Plan or Welfare Plan under which Borrower
or any ERISA Affiliate, directly or indirectly (through an indemnification
agreement or otherwise), could be subject to any material risk of liability
under Section 409 or 502(i) of ERISA or Section 4975 of the
Code.  No Welfare Plan, other than a
Multiemployer Plan, provides or will provide benefits, including, without
limitation, death or medical benefits (whether or not insured) with respect to
any current or former employee of Borrower or any ERISA Affiliate beyond his or
her retirement or other termination of service other than (A) coverage
mandated by applicable law, (B) death or disability benefits that have
been fully provided for by fully paid up insurance or (C) severance
benefits.

 

(ii)           Borrower will furnish
to Lender as soon as possible, and in any event within ten (10) days after
Borrower knows or has reason to believe that any of the events or conditions
specified below with respect to any Plan, Welfare Plan or Multiemployer Plan
has occurred or exists, an Officer’s Certificate setting forth details
respecting such event or condition and the action, if any, that Borrower or its
ERISA Affiliate proposes to take with respect thereto (and a copy of any report
or notice required to be filed with or given to the PBGC (or any other relevant
Governmental Authority)) by Borrower or an ERISA Affiliate with respect to such
event or condition, if such report or notice is required to be filed with the
PBGC or any other relevant Governmental Authority:

 

(A)          any
reportable event, as defined in Section 4043 of ERISA and the regulations
issued thereunder, with respect to a Plan, as to which PBGC has not by
regulation waived the requirement of Section 4043(a) of ERISA that it
be notified within thirty (30) days of the occurrence of such event (provided
that a failure to meet the minimum funding standard of Section 412 of the
Code and of Section 302 of ERISA, including, without limitation, the
failure to make on or before its due date a required installment under Section 412(m)
of the Code and of Section 302(e) of ERISA, shall be a reportable
event regardless of the issuance of any waivers in accordance with Section 412(d) of
the Code), and any request for a waiver under Section 412(d) of the
Code for any Plan;

 

(B)           the
distribution under Section 4041 of ERISA of a notice of intent to
terminate any Plan or any action taken by Borrower or an ERISA Affiliate to
terminate any Plan;

 

(C)           the
institution by PBGC of proceedings under Section 4042 of ERISA for the
termination of, or the appointment of a trustee to administer, any Plan, or the
receipt by Borrower or any ERISA Affiliate of a notice from a Multiemployer
Plan that such action has been taken by PBGC with respect to such Multiemployer
Plan;

 

(D)          the
complete or partial withdrawal from a Multiemployer Plan (or other employee
benefit plan) by Borrower or any ERISA Affiliate that results in liability
under Section 4201 or 4204 of ERISA (including the obligation to satisfy
secondary liability as a result of a purchaser default) or the receipt by
Borrower or any ERISA Affiliate of notice from a Multiemployer Plan that it is
in

 

11

 

reorganization or insolvency pursuant to Section 4241 or 4245 of
ERISA or that it intends to terminate or has terminated under Section 4041A
of ERISA;

 

(E)           the
institution of a proceeding by a fiduciary of any Multiemployer Plan against
Borrower or any ERISA Affiliate to enforce Section 515 of ERISA, which
proceeding is not dismissed within thirty (30) days;

 

(F)           the
adoption of an amendment to any Plan that, pursuant to Section 401(a)(29)
of the Code or Section 307 of ERISA, would result in the loss of
tax-exempt status of the trust of which such Plan is a part if Borrower or an
ERISA Affiliate fails to timely provide security to the Plan in accordance with
the provisions of said Sections; or

 

(G)           the
imposition of a lien or a security interest in connection with a Plan.

 

(iii)          No liability under Title
IV of ERISA has been incurred by Borrower or any ERISA Affiliate that has not
been satisfied in full, and no condition exists that presents a material risk
to Borrower or any ERISA Affiliate of incurring any liability under such Title,
other than liability for premiums due the PBGC, which payments have been
or will be made when due.  To the extent
this representation applies to Sections 4064, 4069 or 4204 of Title IV of
ERISA, it is made not only with respect to the ERISA Plans but also with
respect to any employee benefit plan, program, agreement or arrangement subject
to Title IV of ERISA to which Borrower or any ERISA Affiliate made, or was
required to make, contributions during the past six years.

 

(iv)          Borrower shall not
knowingly engage in or permit any transaction in connection with which Borrower
or any ERISA Affiliate could be reasonably subject to either a material civil
penalty or material tax assessed pursuant to Section 502(i) or 502(l)
of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code; Borrower shall not permit any
Welfare Plan, other than a Multiemployer Plan, to provide benefits, including
without limitation, medical benefits (whether or not insured), with respect to
any current or former employee of Borrower or any ERISA Affiliate beyond his or
her retirement or other termination of service other than (A) coverage
mandated by applicable law, (B) death or disability benefits that have
been fully provided for by paid up insurance or otherwise or (C) severance
benefits, permit the assets of Borrower to become “plan assets”, whether by
operation of law or under regulations promulgated under ERISA; and Borrower
shall not adopt, amend (except as may be required by applicable law) or
increase the amount of any benefit or amount payable under, or permit any ERISA
Affiliate to adopt, amend (except as may be required by applicable law) or
increase the amount of any benefit or amount payable under, any employee
benefit plan (including, without limitation, any employee welfare benefit plan
that is not a Multiemployer Plan) or other plan, policy or arrangement, except
for normal increases in the ordinary course of business consistent with past
practice that, in the aggregate, do not result in a material increase in
benefits expense to Borrower or any ERISA Affiliate.

identification number and place of business or, if more than one, its chief
executive office, as well as Borrower’s mailing address, if different, which
were identified by Borrower to Lender and contained in this Agreement, are
true, accurate and complete.  Borrower (i) will
not change its name, its place of business or, if more than one place of business,
its chief executive office, or its mailing address or organizational
identification number if it has one without giving Lender at least thirty (30)
days prior written notice of such change, (ii) if Borrower does not have
an organizational identification number and later obtains one, Borrower shall
promptly notify Lender of such organizational identification number and (iii) Borrower
will not change its type of organization, jurisdiction of organization or other
legal structure.

 

(v)           Owner’s
Legal Status.  (i)  The owner of
the Premises and the maker of the Mortgage Note is and shall be Owner, (ii) there
are no defaults existing under the Mortgage Note, the Mortgage or the other
Mortgage Loan Documents, and, to the best of Borrower’s knowledge, there is no

Laws.  The transactions contemplated
by this Agreement do not violate and do not require that any filing,
registration or other act be taken with respect to any and all laws pertaining
to the registration or transfer of securities, including without limitation the
Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and the Securities and Exchange Act of
1934, as amended, and any and all rules and regulations promulgated
thereunder (collectively, the “Securities Laws”), as such laws are
amended and in effect from time to time, and none of the Equity

 

13

the Collateral or any of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.  Lender agrees not take any action with

the passage of time or the giving of notice, or both, would constitute a
default, breach or violation thereunder, by either party thereto.

 

(cc)         Operating

as an “operating company,” as such term is defined in the regulation issued by
the U.S. Department of Labor known as the “plan assets regulation,” 29 C.F.R.

all times an operating company, as so defined.

 

(dd)         Affiliation.  Borrower is not an Affiliate of Lender.

Prohibited Person, and Borrower has implemented procedures, approved by General
Partner, to ensure that no Person who now or hereafter owns an equity interest
in Borrower or General Partner is a Prohibited Person or Controlled by a
Prohibited Person, (ii) no proceeds of the Loan will be used to fund any
operations in, finance any investments or activities in or make any payments
to, Prohibited Persons, and (iii) neither Borrower nor General Partner are

in or to any Remaining Rents from and after the time at which the Mortgage
Lender becomes obligated under the Mortgage Loan Documents to transfer such
Remaining Rents to the Lockbox Account;

 

(iii)          there
are no other accounts maintained by Owner, Borrower or any other Person with
respect to the collection of rents, revenues, proceeds or other income from the
Premises or for the collection of Rents, except for the Rent Accounts and the
Central Account (as defined in Article 5 of the Mortgage) and the Lockbox
Account; and

 

(iv)          so
long as any of the Debt shall be outstanding, neither Borrower, Owner nor any
other Person shall open any other accounts with respect to the collection of

collection of Rents.

 

(jj)           Perfected
Security Interest.  Upon the filing
of the UCC-1 financing statements with the Delaware Secretary of State, Lender
will have a valid, and duly perfected first priority, security interest in the
Collateral enforceable as such against all creditors of Borrower and any
Persons purporting to purchase any Pledged Interests and Proceeds from
Borrower.

 

(kk)         Financial
Information.  All financial data that
has been delivered by Borrower to

 

15

 

Lender (i) is true, complete and correct
in all material respects, (ii) accurately represents the financial
condition and results of operations of the Persons covered thereby as of the
date on which the same shall have been furnished, and (iii) has been
prepared in accordance with GAAP, the Uniform System of Accountants (or such

contingent liability, liability for taxes or other unusual or forward
commitment not reflected in such financial statements delivered to Lender.  Since the date of the last financial
statements delivered by Borrower to Lender, except as otherwise disclosed in
such financial statements or notes thereto, there has been no change in the
assets, liabilities or financial position of Borrower nor, if applicable, any
General Partner, or in the results of operations of Borrower which would have a
Material Adverse Effect.  Neither
Borrower nor, if applicable, any General Partner, has incurred any obligation
or liability, contingent or otherwise not reflected in such financial
statements which would have a Material Adverse Effect.

 

Section 2.03.  Further Acts, Etc.  Borrower will, at the cost of Borrower, and
without expense to Lender, do, execute, acknowledge and deliver all and every
such further acts, deeds, conveyances, assignments, notices of assignments,
transfers and assurances as Lender shall, from time to time, reasonably require
for the better assuring, conveying, assigning, transferring, and confirming
unto Lender the property, security interest and rights hereby given, granted,
bargained, sold, alienated, enfeoffed, conveyed, confirmed, pledged, assigned
and hypothecated, or which Borrower may be or may hereafter become bound to
convey or assign to Lender, or for carrying out or facilitating the performance
of the terms of this Agreement or for filing, registering or recording this
Agreement and, within five (5) Business Days of written demand, will
execute and deliver and hereby authorizes Lender to execute in the name of
Borrower or without the signature of Borrower to the extent Lender may lawfully
do so, one or more financing statements, chattel mortgages or comparable
security instruments to evidence more effectively the lien hereof upon the
Collateral.  Without limiting the
generality of the foregoing, Borrower will: 
(i) if any Collateral shall be evidenced by a promissory note or
other instrument or chattel paper, deliver and pledge to Lender hereunder such
note or instrument or chattel paper duly indorsed and accompanied by duly
executed instruments of transfer or assignment, all in form and substance
satisfactory to Lender; (ii) execute or authenticate and file such
financing or continuation statements, or amendments thereto, and such other
instruments or notices, as may be necessary or desirable and as Lender may
request, in order to perfect and preserve the security interest granted or
purported to be granted by Borrower hereunder; (iii) take all action
necessary to ensure that Lender has control of any Collateral consisting of
deposit accounts, electronic chattel paper, investment property and letter-of-credit
rights as provided in Sections 9-104, 9-105, 9-106 and 9-107 of the UCC; and (iv) deliver
to Lender evidence that all other action that Lender may reasonably deem
necessary or desirable in order to perfect and protect the security interest
granted or purported to be granted by Borrower under this Agreement has been
taken.  Borrower grants to Lender an
irrevocable power of attorney coupled with an interest for the purpose of
protecting, perfecting, preserving and realizing upon the interests granted
pursuant to this Agreement and to effect the intent hereof, all as fully and
effectually as Borrower might or could do; and Borrower hereby ratifies all
that Lender shall lawfully do or cause to be done by virtue hereof.  Upon receipt of an affidavit of an officer of
Lender as to the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of the Note or any
other Loan Document which is not of public record, and, in the case of any such
mutilation, upon surrender and cancellation of such Note or other

 

16

 

applicable Loan Document, Borrower will
issue, in lieu thereof, a replacement Note or other applicable Loan Document,
dated the date of such lost, stolen, destroyed or mutilated Note or other Loan
Document in the same principal amount thereof and otherwise of like tenor.

 

Section 2.04.  Recording of Agreement, etc.  Borrower forthwith upon the execution and
delivery of this Agreement and thereafter, from time to time, will, at the
request of Lender, cause this Agreement, and any security instrument creating a
lien or security interest or evidencing the lien hereof upon the Collateral and
each instrument of further assurance to be filed, registered or recorded in
such manner and in such places as may be required by any present or future law
in order to publish notice of and fully protect the lien or security interest
hereof upon, and the interest of Lender in, the Collateral.  Borrower will pay all filing, registration or
recording fees, and all expenses incident to the preparation, execution and
acknowledgment of this Agreement, any additional security instrument with
respect to the Collateral and any instrument of further assurance, and all
federal, state, county and municipal, taxes, duties, imposts, assessments and
charges arising out of or in connection with the execution and delivery of this
Agreement, and any security agreement supplemental hereto, or any instrument of
further assurance, except where prohibited by law to do so, in which event
Lender may declare the Loan to be immediately due and payable.  Borrower shall hold harmless and indemnify
Lender, and its successors and assigns, against any liability incurred as a
result of the imposition of any tax on the making and recording of this
Agreement.

 

Section 2.05.  Cost of Defending and Upholding Lien.  If any action or proceeding is commenced to
which Lender is made a party relating to the Loan Documents and/or the
Collateral or Lender’s interest therein or in which it becomes necessary to
defend or uphold the lien of this Agreement or any other Loan Document,
Borrower shall, on demand, reimburse Lender for all expenses (including,
without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements) incurred by
Lender in connection therewith, and such sum, together with interest thereon at
the Default Rate from and after such demand until fully paid, shall constitute
a part of the Loan.

 

Section 2.06.  Financial Reports.  Borrower shall keep accurate and complete
books, records and accounts in accordance with generally accepted accounting
principles (“GAAP”), the Uniform System of Accountants (or such other
accounting basis reasonably acceptable to Lender) consistently applied with

the financial affairs of Borrower which relate to the Collateral and all sums
due or which may become due thereunder. 
Borrower shall, within ten (10) Business Days after request and at
its sole cost and expense, deliver to Lender any of such books and records as
may be requested by Lender.  Lender shall

Person maintaining such books, records and accounts and to make copies or
extracts thereof as Lender shall desire.

days following the end of each Fiscal Year of Borrower, with a complete copy of
Borrower’s financial statement audited by an Independent certified public
accountant that is acceptable to Lender in accordance with GAAP, the Uniform
System of Accountants (or such other accounting basis reasonably

 

17

 

acceptable to Lender) consistently applied
covering (i) all of the financial affairs of Borrower for such Fiscal Year
and containing a statement of revenues and expenses, a statement of assets and
liabilities and a statement of Borrower’s equity.  Together with Borrower’s annual financial
statements, Borrower shall furnish to Lender an Officer’s Certificate
certifying as of the date thereof (i) that the annual financial statements
accurately represent the results of operations and financial condition of
Borrower all in accordance with GAAP, the Uniform System of Accountants (or
such other accounting basis reasonably acceptable to Lender) consistently
applied, and (ii) whether there exists an event or circumstance which
constitutes, or which upon notice or lapse of time or both would constitute, a
Default under the Note or any other Loan Document executed and delivered by
Borrower, and if such event or circumstance exists, the nature thereof, the
period of time it has existed and the action then being taken to remedy such
event or circumstance.  Borrower shall at
all times, whether or not the Mortgage Loan is outstanding, deliver or shall
cause Owner to deliver to Lender (x) a copy of all financial statements,
reports, books, records and accounts required to be delivered to Mortgage Lender
pursuant to the terms of the Mortgage Loan Documents within the time frames set
forth in the Mortgage Loan Documents for the delivery of such financial
statements, reports, books, records and accounts (and, with each monthly
statement of revenues and expenses delivered or required to be delivered under
the Mortgage Loan Documents, a comparison of such revenues and expenses to the
Annual Budget) and (y) annually, within thirty (30) days following the end of
each calendar year, and within thirty (30) days after Lender’s request

tenant’s Lease, the security deposit, if any, held by Owner under the Lease,
the space covered by the Lease, each tenant that has filed a bankruptcy,
insolvency, or reorganization proceeding since delivery of the last such rent
roll, and the arrearages for such
tenant, if any, and such rent roll shall be accompanied by an Officer’s
Certificate, dated as of the date of the delivery of such rent roll, certifying
that such rent roll is true, correct and complete in all material respects as
of its date.  Borrower shall furnish to
Lender, within thirty (30) days after Lender’s request therefor, such further
detailed information with respect to the operation of the Premises and the financial
affairs of Borrower as may be reasonably requested by Lender.  Borrower acknowledges that notwithstanding
anything to the contrary contained herein or in the Note, all extension fees
and exit fees will be treated as additional interest.

 

Section 2.07.  Litigation.  Borrower will give prompt written notice to
Lender of any litigation or governmental proceedings pending or threatened (in
writing) against Borrower, Owner or Guarantor which are reasonably likely to
have a Material Adverse Effect and of any claim, option, lien or encumbrance
upon or against all or a portion of the Collateral.

 

Section 2.08.  Estoppel Certificates.  Borrower shall, or shall cause Owner to, from
time to time, request from Mortgage Lender such certificates of estoppel with
respect to compliance by Owner with the terms of the Mortgage Loan Documents as
may be requested by Lender and required to be given by Mortgage Lender pursuant
to the Mortgage Loan Documents.

 

Section 2.09.  Budget.  Borrower shall submit to Lender for Lender’s
written approval an annual budget (the “Annual Budget”) not later than fifteen
(15) days prior to the commencement of such Fiscal Year, in form reasonably satisfactory
to Lender setting forth in reasonable detail

 

18

 

budgeted monthly operating income and monthly
operating capital and other expenses for the Premises.  Each Annual Budget shall contain, among other
things, management fees, third party service fees, and other expenses as
Borrower may reasonably determine. 
Lender shall have the right to approve such Annual Budget which approval
shall not be unreasonably withheld, and in the event that Lender objects to the
proposed Annual Budget submitted by Borrower, Lender shall advise Borrower of
such objections within fifteen (15) days after receipt thereof (and deliver to
Borrower a reasonably detailed description of such objections) and Borrower
shall, within ten (10) days after receipt of notice of any such
objections, revise such Annual Budget and resubmit the same to Lender.  Lender shall advise Borrower of any
objections to such revised Annual Budget within ten (10) days after
receipt thereof (and deliver to Borrower a reasonably detailed description of
such objections) and Borrower shall revise the same in accordance with the
process described herein until Lender approves an Annual Budget, provided,
however, that if Lender shall not advise Borrower of its objections to any
proposed Annual Budget within the applicable time period set forth in this Section,
then such proposed Annual Budget shall be deemed approved by Lender.  Until such time that Lender approves a
proposed Annual Budget, the most recently Approved Annual Budget shall apply;
provided that, such Approved Annual Budget shall be adjusted to reflect actual
increases in Basic Carrying Costs (as defined in the Mortgage) and utilities
expenses.  In the event that Owner must
incur an Extraordinary Expense (as defined in the Mortgage), then Borrower
shall promptly deliver to Lender a reasonably detailed explanation of such
proposed Extraordinary Expense for Lender’s approval, which approval may be
granted or denied in Lender’s sole and absolute discretion.

Section 2.11.  Transfers, Etc.  (a) Borrower shall not, without the
prior consent of Lender, in any manner allow a Transfer to occur or enter into
any agreement which expressly restricts Borrower from making amendments,
modifications or waivers to the Loan Documents. 
Without the express prior written consent of Lender, Borrower shall not,
and shall not cause or permit Owner to, enter into any consensual sale or other
similar transaction with respect to the Premises or impair or otherwise
adversely affect the interests of Lender in the Collateral or any portion
thereof or any interest therein.

 

(b)  Notwithstanding the foregoing
provisions of this Section 2.11, solely in connection with a sale of the
Premises permitted pursuant to Section 9.04 of the Mortgage a new borrower
(“New Borrower”), owning 100% of the unencumbered equity interests in
the proposed new owner of the Premises (the “New Owner”) may assume
Borrower’s obligations hereunder (hereinafter, a  “Proposed Loan Assumption”) provided
that each of the following terms and conditions are satisfied:

 

(i)            No
Event of Default is then continuing hereunder or under any of the other Loan
Documents;

 

(ii)           Lender
shall have, in its sole and absolute discretion, consented to the Proposed Loan
Assumption; provided, however, in connection with an IPO with respect to which
not less than $50,000,000 of proceeds have been used to prepay first, the
Junior Mezz Loan, second, the Intermediate Mezz Loan and third, the Loan until
an amount of not less than

 

19

 

$50,000,000 in the aggregate has been applied
to such indebtedness, no such consent shall be required;

 

(iii)          Borrower
gives Lender written notice of the terms of the Proposed Loan Assumption not
less than sixty (60) days, or in the case of an IPO, fifteen (15) days, before
the date on which such Proposed Loan Assumption is scheduled to close and,
concurrently therewith, gives Lender all such information concerning the New
Borrower and the New Owner as Lender would require in evaluating an initial
extension of credit to a borrower and Lender determines, in its sole discretion
that the New Borrower and the New Owner are acceptable to Lender in all
respects (other than in connection with an IPO);

 

(iv)          In
the event the applicable Transfer will result in a New Borrower owning the
Collateral, Borrower pays Lender, concurrently with the closing of such Proposed
Loan Assumption, a non-refundable assumption fee in an amount equal to one
percent (1%) of the then outstanding Loan Amount for each Proposed Loan
Assumption, together with all out-of-pocket costs and expenses, including,
without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees, incurred by Lender in
connection with the Proposed Loan Assumption, provided, however, that no such
assumption fee shall be required in connection with a Transfer effected in
connection with an IPO (but Borrower shall be required to pay all out-of-pocket
costs and expenses of Lender);

 

(v)           In
the event the applicable Transfer will result in a New Borrower owning the
Collateral, New Borrower assumes all of the obligations under the Loan
Documents and, prior to or concurrently with the closing of such Proposed Loan
Assumption, New Borrower executes, without any cost or expense to Lender, such
documents and agreements as Lender shall reasonably require to evidence and
effectuate said assumption and delivers such legal opinions as Lender may
require similar to those delivered at the closing of the Loan;

 

(vi)          In
the event the applicable Transfer will result in a New Borrower owning the
Collateral, Borrower and New Borrower execute, without any cost or expense to
Lender, new financing statements or financing statement amendments and any
additional documents reasonably requested by Lender and New Borrower delivers
certificated securities to Lender representing 100% of the equity ownership
interests in New Owner (such interests, along with any other collateral
securing the Loan, the “New Collateral”) and grants Lender a perfected
first priority lien in such New Collateral;

 

(vii)         In
the event the applicable Transfer will result in a New Borrower owning the
Collateral, New Borrower delivers to Lender, without any cost or expense to
Lender, such endorsements to Lender’s “Eagle 9” (or equivalent) insurance
policy which insures Lender’s lien in the New Collateral, hazard insurance
policy endorsements or certificates and other similar materials as Lender may
deem necessary at the time of the Proposed Loan Assumption, all in form and
substance satisfactory to Lender;

 

(viii)        In
the event the applicable Transfer will result in a New Borrower owning the
Collateral, Borrower executes and delivers to Lender, without any cost or
expense to Lender, a release of Lender, its officers, directors, employees and
agents, from all claims and liability relating to the transactions evidenced by
the Loan Documents, through and including the date of

 

20

 

the closing of the Proposed Loan Assumption,
which agreement shall be in form and substance satisfactory to Lender and shall
be binding upon New Borrower;

 

(ix)           In
the event the applicable Transfer will result in a New Borrower owning the
Collateral, subject to the provisions of Article VIII
hereof, such Proposed Loan Assumption does not relieve Borrower of any personal
liability under the Note or any of the other Loan Documents for any acts or
events occurring or obligations arising prior to or simultaneously with the
closing of such Proposed Loan Assumption, and Borrower executes, without any
cost or expense to Lender, such documents and agreements as Lender shall
reasonably require to evidence and effectuate the ratification of said personal
liability;

 

(x)            In
the event the applicable Transfer will result in a New Borrower owning the
Collateral, such Proposed Loan Assumption does not relieve any Guarantor of its
obligations under any guaranty or indemnity agreement executed in connection
with the Loan and each such Guarantor executes, without any cost or expense to
Lender, such documents and agreements as Lender shall reasonably require to
evidence and effectuate the ratification of each such guaranty agreement,
provided that if New Borrower or a party associated with New Borrower approved
by Lender in its sole and absolute discretion assumes the obligations of the
current Guarantor under its guaranty and New Borrower or such party associated
with New Borrower, as applicable, executes, without any cost or expense to
Lender, a new guaranty in similar form and substance to the existing guaranty
and otherwise satisfactory to Lender, then Lender shall release the current
Guarantor from all obligations arising under its guaranty after the closing of
such Proposed Loan Assumption; and

 

(xi)           In
the event the applicable Transfer will result in a New Borrower owning the
Collateral, New Borrower is a Single Purpose Entity and Lender receives a
non-consolidation opinion relating to New Borrower from New Borrower’s counsel,
which opinion is in form and substance reasonably acceptable to Lender.

 

Section 2.12.  Sums Held In Trust.  To the extent Borrower receives any sums it
is not otherwise entitled to receive pursuant to the terms of this Agreement,
Borrower shall hold all such sums sufficient to discharge all sums due or to
become due on the Debt, in trust for use in payment of the Debt.

 

Section 2.13.  Notification of
Defaults.  Borrower shall
promptly (and in all events within one (1) Business Day of obtaining
knowledge thereof) notify Lender of the occurrence of any default under the
Mortgage Loan or of the occurrence of any event, which but for the passage of time
or the giving of notice or both, would constitute a default under the Mortgage
Loan.

 

Section 2.14.  Compliance With Mortgage Loan Documents.  Borrower shall cause Owner to comply with all
of the terms, covenants and conditions set forth in the Mortgage Loan
Documents, notwithstanding any waiver or future amendment of such covenants by
Mortgage Lender.  Borrower acknowledges
that the obligation to comply with such covenants is separate from, and may be
enforced independently from, the obligations of the Owner under the Mortgage
Loan Documents, and, to the extent such term, covenants and conditions require
any consents, approvals or waivers by Mortgage Lender, Lender shall have the
same rights to consent, approve or waive. 
The provisions of Sections 3.01, 4.01, 7.02(a) through (c) and
8.01 of the Mortgage

 

21

 

are hereby incorporated by reference as if
fully restated herein and shall constitute the direct obligation of Borrower to
either perform or to cause Owner to perform such covenants on behalf of Lender.

 

Section 2.15.  No Change of
Accounts.  Borrower shall not permit
Owner to change the Rent Accounts or the Central Account (as such terms are
defined in the Mortgage), without the prior written consent of Lender and
Mortgage Lender.

 

Section 2.16.  Confirmation of Loan Documents, Etc.  (a)  After request by Lender, Borrower,
within fifteen (15) days and at its expense, will furnish or will cause Owner
to furnish to Lender with a statement, duly acknowledged and certified, setting
forth with respect to this Agreement, the Note and the Mortgage Note, as
applicable, (i) the amount of the original principal amount, and the
unpaid principal amount, (ii) the rate of interest, (iii) the date
payments of interest and/or principal were last paid, (iv) any offsets or
defenses to payment, and if any are alleged, the nature thereof, (v) that
no modifications have taken place, or if modified, giving particulars of such
modification and (vi) that there has occurred and is then continuing no
Default or if such Default exists, the nature thereof, the period of time it
has existed, and the action being taken to remedy such Default.

 

(b)           Within
fifteen (15) days after written request by Borrower, Lender shall furnish to
Borrower a written statement confirming the Principal Amount of the Loan, the
maturity date of the Note and the date to which interest has been paid.

 

Section 2.17.  Corporate Actions.  Without the prior written consent of Lender,
Borrower will not and will not cause or allow the Corporations, LLCs or
Partnerships at any time, to (and, without limiting the foregoing, will not
vote to enable, or take any other action to permit, the Corporations, LLCs or
Partnerships to):

 

(a)           purchase
or redeem or obligate itself to purchase or redeem any Equity Interests in
violation of this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents; or

 

(b)           redeem
or cancel any Equity Interests or authorize to be issued any additional Equity

into or merge or consolidate with any corporation, partnership or limited
liability company or entity or cause itself to dissolve or liquidate its
assets; or

 

(d)           enter
into, or cause or permit any affiliate of any of the Corporations, LLCs or
Partnerships to enter into, (x) any transaction with a Person or entity
affiliated with or related to itself, except upon arms-length terms and
conditions, or (y) any transaction which is motivated by an intent to
evade this Agreement; or

 

(e)           breach
any of the covenants or obligations of the Corporations, LLCs or Partnerships
pursuant to this Agreement.

 

Section 2.18.  Conduct of Operations.  To the extent that such matters are within
the control of Borrower pursuant to the terms of the Organizational Documents
and applicable laws, Borrower shall cause the Corporations, LLCs and
Partnerships to conduct their operations and to

 

22

 

manage, protect and preserve their assets and
to act in a commercially reasonable manner to preserve the value of the
Collateral.

 

Section 2.19.  Voting Rights; Etc.  (a) So long as an Event of Default shall
not have occurred and be continuing, Borrower shall be permitted (i) to
receive any and all regular Distributions and dividends paid in cash and in the
ordinary course of business of the Partnerships, the LLCs and the Corporations
with respect to the Equity Interests and (ii) to exercise all voting and
other rights with respect to the Equity Interests as long as no vote shall be
cast, or right exercised or other action taken which would, directly or
indirectly, materially impair the value of any Collateral or which would be
inconsistent with or result in a default under this Agreement or any of the
other Loan Documents.  Upon the receipt
of a written request from Borrower, Lender shall execute and deliver (or cause
to be executed and delivered) to Borrower all such proxies and other
instruments as Borrower may reasonably request for the purpose of enabling
Borrower to exercise the voting and other rights which it is entitled to
exercise and to receive the dividends or interest payments which it is
authorized to receive and retain pursuant to this Agreement.  Upon the occurrence and during the
continuance of an Event of Default, the aforesaid rights shall immediately and automatically
vest in Lender.

 

(b)           If
Borrower shall receive, by virtue of Borrower’s being or having been an owner
of any Equity Interest, (i) any Distributions or dividends payable in cash
(except such Distributions and dividends permitted to be retained by Borrower
pursuant to sub-section (a) above) or in securities or other
property, or (ii) any Distributions or dividends in connection with a
partial or total liquidation or dissolution or a reclassification, increase or
reduction of capital, capital surplus or paid-in capital, Borrower shall
receive the same in trust for Lender, segregate the same from its other assets
and promptly deliver the same to Lender in the exact form received, with any
necessary endorsement and/or appropriate powers or other instruments of
assignment or conveyance, to be held by Lender as Collateral pursuant to this
Agreement.

 

Section 2.20.  Admission of New Equity.  Borrower will not agree to admit any new or
substitute shareholders, members or partners into the Corporations, LLCs or
Partnerships or transfer its interests in the Corporations, LLCs or
Partnerships unless such new shareholder, member or partner executes and
delivers, and agrees to be bound by, an agreement, in form and content
substantially identical to this Agreement, pursuant to which such new
shareholder, member or partner pledges its interests in the Corporations, LLCs
or Partnerships to Lender and such admission is otherwise in accordance with
the terms of the applicable Organizational Documents and the Loan Documents.

 

Section 2.21.  Proceeds of Collateral.  Upon the occurrence and during the
continuance of an Event of Default, all Proceeds of the Collateral received by
Borrower shall be promptly delivered to Lender, in the same form as received,
with the addition only of such endorsements and assignments as may be necessary
to transfer title to Lender, and pending such delivery, such Proceeds shall be
held in trust for Lender; and such Proceeds shall be applied to the Debt
secured hereby pursuant to the terms of the Loan Agreement.

 

Section 2.22.  Admission of Lender As Shareholder,
Member, Partner.  In the event that
Lender forecloses on the Collateral, notwithstanding anything to the contrary
in the Organizational Documents, Lender shall automatically be admitted as a
shareholder, member or

 

23

 

partner of the Corporations, LLCs or
Partnerships, respectively, and shall be entitled to receive all benefits and
exercise all rights in connection therewith pursuant to the Organizational
Documents; provided, however, that Lender shall have no liability for matters
in connection with the Equity Interests arising or occurring, directly or
indirectly, prior to Lender’s becoming a shareholder, member or partner of the
Corporations, LLCs or Partnerships.

 

Section 2.23.  Purchase of Mortgage Loan, Etc.  Neither Borrower nor any Affiliate thereof or
any other Person acting upon their direction or request shall, directly or
indirectly, acquire or agree to acquire, obtain, purchase or control the
Mortgage Loan, or any portion thereof or any interest therein, or any direct or
indirect ownership interest in the holder of, or participant in, the Mortgage
Loan in any manner whatsoever.  If, solely
by operation of applicable subrogation law, Borrower or any Affiliate thereof
shall be in breach of or fail to comply with the foregoing, then such breach or
failure shall not be an Event of Default provided that Borrower (a) shall
immediately upon obtaining knowledge thereof notify Lender of such failure or
breach, and (b) shall cause Borrower and Affiliates thereof acquiring any
interest in the Mortgage Loan Documents (i) not to enforce the Mortgage
Loan Documents, and (ii) upon the request of Lender, to the extent any
Borrower or such Affiliate has the power or authority to do so, to promptly (A) cancel,
reconvey and release its interest in the Mortgage Loan Documents, (B) discontinue
and terminate any enforcement proceeding(s) under the Mortgage Loan Documents
and (C) assign and transfer its interest in the Mortgage Loan Documents to
Lender.

 

Section 2.24.  Deed-In-Lieu, etc.  Without the prior written consent of Lender,
Borrower shall not, and shall not cause or permit Owner to, enter into any
deed-in-lieu or consensual foreclosure with or for the benefit of Mortgage
Lender or any of Mortgage Lender’s Affiliates or designees.  Without the express prior written consent of
Lender, Borrower shall not, and shall not cause or permit Owner to, enter into
any consensual foreclosure or other similar transaction, impair or otherwise
adversely affect the interests of Lender in the Collateral or any portion
thereof or any interest therein.

 

Section 2.25.  Intercreditor Agreement.  Borrower acknowledges and agrees that Lender,
Intermediate Mezz Lender, Junior Mezz Lender and Mortgage Lender have entered
into an intercreditor agreement regarding their respective rights under the
Mortgage Loan and Loan (the “Intercreditor Agreement”).  Borrower acknowledges and agrees that:  (a) no Person other than Lender,
Intermediate Mezz Lender, Junior Mezz Lender and Mortgage Lender has any rights
whatsoever, direct or indirect, beneficial or otherwise, under the
Intercreditor Agreement and Borrower is not a third party beneficiary thereof; (b) Lender,
Intermediate Mezz Lender, Junior Mezz Lender and Mortgage Lender may amend,
modify, cancel, terminate, supplement or waive the Intercreditor Agreement at
any time without notice to, or the consent of Borrower, Owner or any other
Person, and (c) except as expressly set forth in this Agreement, any
restriction or other agreement between Lender, Intermediate Mezz Lender, Junior
Mezz Lender and Mortgage Lender set forth in the Intercreditor Agreement is
personal between Lender, Intermediate Mezz Lender, Junior Mezz Lender and Mortgage
Lender and, as between Lender, on the one hand, and Borrower, on the other
hand, no such agreement or restriction will be deemed to benefit or otherwise
modify any of the rights of Lender under the Loan Documents.

 

Section 2.26.  Payment of Impositions.  Borrower shall pay and discharge all taxes
now or hereafter imposed on it, or its income or profits, on any of its
property or upon the liens

 

24

 

provided for herein prior to the date on
which penalties attach thereto; provided that Borrower shall have the right to
contest the validity or amount of any such tax in good faith and by proper
proceedings.  Borrower shall promptly pay
any valid, final judgment enforcing any such tax and cause the same to be
satisfied of record.

 

Section 2.27.  Central Cash Management.  (a)  All amounts paid by the issuer of
the Rate Cap Agreement (the “Counterparty”) to Borrower or Lender,
together with all rents, issues, profits, insurance proceeds, condemnation
proceeds, refinancing proceeds and all other sums received with respect to the
Premises after all sums which are then due and payable have been paid to
Mortgage Lender pursuant to the terms of the Mortgage Loan Documents (collectively,
“Remaining Rents”), shall be paid by federal wire transfer or automatic
clearing house funds (“ACH”) to Lender and shall be deposited
immediately into the Lockbox Account (as defined below).  Lender has established the Lockbox Account in
the name of Lender as secured party .  The
Lockbox Account shall be under the sole dominion and control of Lender.  The Lockbox Account shall have a sub-account
on a ledger basis entitled the “Debt Service Payment Account” (the “Debt
Service Sub-Account” and together with the other accounts now or hereafter
required to be established pursuant to this Section 2.27, collectively,
the “Accounts”) to which certain funds shall be allocated and from which
disbursements shall be made pursuant to the terms of the Lockbox
Agreement.  Borrower hereby irrevocably
directs and authorizes Lender to withdraw funds from the Lockbox Account, all
in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Lockbox Agreement.  Borrower shall have no right of withdrawal in
respect of the Lockbox Account.  Each
transfer of funds to be made hereunder shall be made only to the extent that
funds are on deposit in the Lockbox Account, and Lender shall have no
responsibility to make additional funds available in the event that funds on
deposit are insufficient.  Borrower shall
enter into or shall cause Owner to enter into a substitute cash management
agreement and related lockbox agreement (collectively, the “Substitute CMA
Agreements”) with substantially the same terms as the agreements entered
into as of the date hereof in connection with the Mortgage Loan as a condition
to the satisfaction of the Mortgage Loan or if Mortgage Lender is not requiring
that sums be deposited into any Sub-Accounts or Escrow Accounts (each as defined in the Mortgage).  Such substitute agreements shall provide that
all Remaining Rents shall be deposited into the Lockbox Account for
disbursement in accordance with the terms of the Substitute CMA Agreements, the
Lockbox Agreement (as amended to conform with the Substitute CMA Agreements)
and this Agreement.  Additionally, on or
before the Closing Date, Borrower shall establish or cause Owner to establish
such escrow and reserve accounts and deposit such amounts into such accounts as
required pursuant to the terms of the Mortgage Loan Documents.  After the occurrence and during the
continuance of an Event of Default, the funds on deposit in the Lockbox
Account, and all other funds received by Lender in respect of the Loan, shall
be disbursed and applied in such order and such manner as Lender shall elect in
its sole discretion.  If Borrower shall
receive any Remaining Rents other than in accordance with this Agreement,
Borrower shall hold all such payments in trust for Lender, will not co-mingle
such payments with other funds of Borrower, and will immediately pay and deliver
in kind, all such payments directly to Lender for application by Lender in
accordance with this Agreement.

 

(b)           Borrower
shall maintain the Rate Cap Agreement at all times during the term of the Loan
and pay all fees, charges and expenses incurred in connection therewith.  Borrower shall comply with all of its
obligations under the terms of the Rate Cap Agreement.  All amounts paid by the Counterparty to
Borrower or Lender shall be deposited immediately into the Lockbox

 

25

 

Account. 
Borrower shall take all actions reasonably requested by Lender to
enforce Lender’s rights under the Rate Cap Agreement in the event of a default
by the Counterparty.  In the event that (a) the
long-term unsecured debt obligations of the Counterparty are downgraded by the
Rating Agency below “A+” or its equivalent or (b) the Counterparty shall
default in any of its obligations under the Rate Cap Agreement, Borrower shall,
at the request of Lender, promptly but in all events within five (5) Business
Days, replace the Rate Cap Agreement with an agreement having identical payment
terms and maturity as the Rate Cap Agreement and which is otherwise in form and
substance substantially similar to the Rate Cap Agreement and otherwise acceptable
to Lender with a cap provider, the long-term unsecured debt of which is rated
at least “AA-” (or its equivalent) by each Rating Agency, or which will allow
each Rating Agency to reaffirm their then current ratings of all rated
certificates issued in connection with the Securitization.  In the event that Borrower fails to maintain
the Rate Cap Agreement as provided in this Section, Lender may purchase the
Rate Cap Agreement and the cost incurred by Lender in connection therewith
shall be paid by Borrower to Lender with interest thereon at the Default Rate
from the date such cost is incurred until such cost is paid by Borrower to
Lender.  On or prior to the Payment Date
in June 2007, Borrower shall deliver to Lender a replacement Rate Cap
Agreement with a term expiring not earlier than the Maturity Date and otherwise
in form and substance acceptable to Lender which is issued by a Counterparty
having a long-term unsecured debt rating of “AA-” (or its equivalent) or better
from each Rating Agency (the “Replacement Rate Cap Agreement”).

 

(c)           At
any time that sums are not being deposited into the Sub-Accounts or Escrow
Accounts pursuant to the terms of the Mortgage, Borrower shall establish and
maintain one or more sub-accounts of the Lockbox Account into which Remaining
Rents shall be deposited for the purposes of paying Basic Carrying Costs,
Recurring Replacement Expenditures and Operating Expenses (each as defined in
the Mortgage).  In connection therewith,
Borrower and Lender shall modify the Lockbox Agreement to provide that, if sums
are required to be deposited into the Lockbox Account pursuant to this Section 2.27(c),
such funds shall be allocated in the order of priority set forth in Section 5.05
of the Mortgage and Borrower hereby irrevocably appoints Lender as its
attorney-in-fact, coupled with an interest, to execute any such amendment to
the Lockbox Agreement.  The amounts to be
deposited in such sub-accounts shall equal the amounts required to be deposited
in the Sub-Accounts and Escrow Accounts pursuant to the terms of the Mortgage (as
in effect on the Closing Date or as amended with Lender’s approval) and sums
deposited into such sub-accounts may be released on the same terms and
conditions as set forth in the Mortgage (as in effect on the Closing Date or as
amended with Lender’s approval).

 

(d)           Borrower
hereby agrees for the benefit of itself and Owner that all payments actually
received by Lender shall be deemed payments to Borrower by Owner.  Lender shall apply any and all such payments
actually received by Lender for application in accordance with this
Agreement.  After payment of all sums due
and payable with respect to the Loan, Lender shall return to Borrower that
portion of any payments actually received by Lender from Borrower or Owner which
is required to be paid to Borrower pursuant to the Loan Documents.

 

Section 2.28.  Certain Additional Rights of Lender.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary
which may be contained in this Agreement, Lender shall have:

 

26

 

(a)           the
right to routinely consult on a regular basis (no less frequently than
quarterly) with and advise Borrower’s management regarding the significant
business activities and business and financial developments of Borrower, provided,
however, that such consultations shall not include discussions of
environmental compliance programs or disposal of hazardous substances, and, provided,
further, that Lender shall have the right to call special meetings at
any reasonable times;

 

(b)           the
right, without restricting any other rights of Lender under this Agreement
(including any similar right), to restrict financing to be obtained in
connection with future property transactions, refinancing of any acquisition
financings, and unsecured debt unless the Loan has been paid in full or as
otherwise permitted hereunder;

 

(c)           the
right, without restricting any other right of Lender under this Agreement
(including any similar right), to restrict, upon the occurrence of an Event of
Default, Borrower’s payments of management consulting, director or similar fees
to affiliates of Borrower (or their personnel) other than management fees due
pursuant to the Management Agreement which will continue to be paid as long as
Manager is managing the Premises and is not in default pursuant to its
Management Agreement;

 

(d)           the
right, without restricting any other rights of Lender under this Agreement
(including any similar right), to approve any acquisition by Borrower of any
other significant property (other than personal property required for the day
to day operation of the Premises);

 

(e)           the
right, without restricting any other rights of Lender under this Agreement
(including any similar right), in the event of an Event of Default, to vote the
owners’ interests in Borrower pursuant to irrevocable proxies granted, at the
request of Borrower in advance for this purpose; and

 

(f)            the
right, without restricting any other rights of Lender under this Agreement
(including any similar right), to restrict the transfer of voting interests in
Borrower held by its members, and the right to restrict the transfer of
interests in such member, except for any transfer that is a permitted Transfer.

 

The rights contained in this Section 2.28 may be exercised by any
Person which owns or Controls, directly or indirectly, substantially all of the
interests in Lender.

 

Section 2.29.  Refinancing, Liens, etc.  Borrower shall not and shall not permit Owner
to, without the prior written consent of Lender, which consent may be withheld,
delayed or conditioned in the sole discretion of Lender, give its consent or
approval or agree to any of the following:

 

(a)           (i) any
refinancing of the Mortgage Loan, (ii) any prepayment in full of the
Mortgage Loan, (iii) any Transfer (for purposes of this Section 2.29(a) only,
as defined in the Mortgage (as in effect on the Closing Date or as amended with
Lender’s approval)) of the Premises except pursuant to Section 2.11 hereof,
or (iv) any action in connection with or in furtherance of the foregoing;

 

(b)           placing
or permitting to attach any additional liens or encumbrances on the

 

27

 

Premises (except for liens and encumbrances
permitted under the Mortgage Loan Documents (as in effect on the Closing Date
or as amended with Lender’s approval) not requiring the consent of Mortgage
Lender); or

 

(c)           any
modification, amendment, consolidation, spread, restatement or waiver of any
provision of the Mortgage Loan Documents.

 

Section 2.30.  Insurance.  (a) The insurance described in Section 3.01
of the Mortgage and Section 2.30(c) hereof (except policies for
worker’s compensation) shall be in the form (other than with respect to
Sections 3.01(a)(vi) and (vii) of the Mortgage when insurance in
those two sub-sections is placed with a governmental agency or instrumentality
on such agency’s forms) and amount and with deductibles as, from time to time,
shall be reasonably acceptable to Lender, under valid and enforceable policies
issued by financially responsible insurers authorized to do business in the
State where the Premises is located, with a general policyholder’s service
rating of not less than “A” and a financial rating of not less than XIII as
rated in the most currently available Best’s Insurance Reports (or the
equivalent, if such rating system shall hereafter be altered or replaced) and
shall have a claims paying ability rating and/or financial strength rating, as
applicable, of not less than “A” (or its equivalent), or such lower claims
paying ability rating and/or financial strength rating, as applicable, as
Lender shall, in its reasonable discretion (taking into account then current
Rating Agency guidelines), consent to, from a Rating Agency (one of which after
a Securitization in which Standard & Poor’s rates any securities
issued in connection with such Securitization, shall be Standard &
Poor’s) or by a syndicate of insurers through which at least 90% of the
coverage is with carriers having claims-paying ability or financial strength
ratings of “A” (or its equivalent) from the Ratings Agencies, provided that all
members of the syndicate shall have claims-paying ability ratings and/or
financial strength ratings, as applicable, of not less than “A-” (or its
equivalent) from the Ratings Agencies and Borrower shall cause Owner to carry
all such insurance (whether or not the Mortgage Loan is outstanding) for so
long as any portion of the Debt remains outstanding.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, Lender
approves (i) Continental Casualty Company, (ii) RSUI Indemnity
Company, and (iii) Fidelity National Insurance Company as insurers,
provided that throughout the term of the Loan the claims paying ability rating
and/or financial strength rating, as applicable, from each Rating Agency for
such insurers shall be no less than “A-” (or its equivalent).  All such policies (except policies for worker’s
compensation) shall name Lender as an additional named insured (subject to the
rights of Mortgage Lender), with respect to the insurance required pursuant to Section 3.01(a)(iii) of
the Mortgage, shall provide, subsequent to the satisfaction of the Mortgage
Loan, for loss payable to Lender and shall contain (or have attached):  (i) standard “non-contributory mortgagee”
endorsement or its equivalent relating, inter  alia, to recovery
by Lender notwithstanding the negligent or willful acts or omissions of
Borrower; (ii) a waiver of subrogation endorsement as to Lender; (iii) an
endorsement indicating that neither Lender nor Borrower shall be or be deemed
to be a co-insurer with respect to any casualty risk insured by such policies
and shall provide for a deductible per loss of an amount not more than that
which is customarily maintained by owners of similar properties similarly
situated, and (iv) a provision that such policies shall not be canceled,
terminated, denied renewal or amended, including, without limitation, any
amendment reducing the scope or limits of coverage, without at least thirty
(30) days’ prior written notice to Lender in each instance.  Not less than thirty (30) days prior to the
expiration dates of the insurance policies obtained pursuant to this Agreement,
originals or certified copies of renewals of such policies (or certificates

 

28

 

evidencing such renewals) bearing notations
evidencing the payment of premiums or accompanied by other reasonable evidence
of such payment (which premiums shall not be paid by Borrower or Owner through
or by any financing arrangement which would entitle an insurer to terminate a
policy) provided, however, premiums for the insurance required pursuant to this
Section may be paid quarterly in advance or as otherwise reasonably
acceptable to Lender, it being acknowledged that paying the premium for such
policies by financing the same, paying twenty percent (20%) of the total annual
premium (inclusive of finance charges) at the time of the applicable policy
renewal and paying the remaining eighty percent (80%) of the total annual
premium (inclusive of finance charges) in nine (9) equal monthly
installments is acceptable to Lender) shall be delivered by Borrower to
Lender.  Borrower shall not carry
separate insurance, concurrent in kind or form or contributing in the event of
loss, with any insurance required under Section 3.01 of the Mortgage or Section 2.30(c) hereof.

 

(b)           If
Borrower fails to maintain and deliver to Lender the original policies or
certificates of insurance required by this Agreement, Lender may, at its
option, procure such insurance, and Borrower shall pay, or as the case may be,
reimburse Lender for, all premiums thereon promptly, upon demand by Lender,
with interest thereon at the Default Rate from the date paid by Lender to the
date of repayment and such sum shall constitute a part of the Debt.

 

(c)           Borrower
shall deliver to Lender such other insurance as may from time to time be
required by Lender and which is then customarily required by Institutional
Lenders for similar properties similarly situated, against other insurable
hazards, including, but not limited to, malicious mischief, vandalism, acts of
terrorism, windstorm and/or earthquake, due regard to be given to the size and
type of the Premises, Improvements, Fixtures and Equipment and their location,
construction and use.  Additionally,
Borrower shall carry such insurance coverage as Lender may from time to time
require if the failure to carry such insurance may result in a downgrade,
qualification or withdrawal of any class of securities issued in connection
with a Securitization.

 

Section 2.31.  Casualty.  Borrower shall give Lender prompt notice of
any loss or damage to the Premises and, subject to the rights of the Mortgage
Lender under the Mortgage Loan Documents (which shall in all respects supercede
the rights of Lender under this Section 2.31);

 

(a)           After
the Mortgage Loan has been paid in full, in the event of any loss or damage
covered by any insurance, Lender is hereby authorized (i) if an Event of
Default shall have occurred or, if no Event of Default shall have occurred but
Borrower or Owner fails to settle and adjust any claim within ninety (90)
Business Days after such casualty has occurred, to settle and adjust any claim
under such insurance without the consent of Borrower or Owner, or (ii) if
no Event of Default has occurred, to allow Borrower or Owner within ninety (90)
Business Days after such casualty to settle and adjust such claim with, if any
settlement may reasonably be anticipated to result in proceeds in excess of $250,000.00,
the consent of Lender, not to be unreasonably withheld; provided, however, that
in either case Lender shall, and is hereby authorized to, collect and receive
any such insurance proceeds, subject, however, to the rights of Mortgage Lender
under the Mortgage Loan Documents.  The
expenses incurred by Lender in the adjustment and collection of such proceeds
of insurance shall be additional Debt of Borrower, and shall be reimbursed to
Lender upon demand or, at Lender’s option, in the event and to the extent
sufficient proceeds are available, deducted by Lender from such proceeds of
insurance

 

29

 

prior to any other application thereof.  If the Mortgage Loan has been paid in full,
each insurance company which has issued insurance is hereby authorized and
directed to make payment for all losses covered by such insurance to Lender
alone, and not to Lender and Borrower or Owner jointly.  Borrower agrees to execute and cause Owner to
execute all documents and make all deliveries required in order to permit
adjustment and payment of insurance proceeds as provided above.

 

(b)           Borrower
hereby assigns to Lender the proceeds of all insurance (other than worker’s
compensation and liability insurance) obtained pursuant to this Agreement, all
of which proceeds shall be payable to Lender as collateral and further security
for the payment of the Debt and the performance of Borrower’s obligations
hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, and Borrower hereby authorizes
and directs the issuer of any such insurance to, subject to the rights of
Mortgage Lender under the Mortgage Loan Documents, make payment of such
proceeds directly to Lender.  Lender may,
in its sole discretion, apply the proceeds of insurance received upon any
casualty either (i) to reduce the Debt, in such order or manner as Lender
may elect; or (ii) at Lender’s election, to reimburse Borrower or Owner
for or to pay the costs of restoring, repairing, replacing or rebuilding
(collectively, a “Restoration”) the loss or damage caused by such
casualty, in accordance with and subject to such conditions as Lender may determine
in its sole discretion.

 

Section 2.32.  Management of Premises.  Borrower shall cause Owner to operate and manage
the Premises or cause the Premises to be operated and managed in a manner which
is consistent with the Approved Manager Standard (as defined in the
Mortgage).  Borrower covenants and agrees
with Lender that (a) the Premises will be managed at all times by Manager
pursuant to the management agreement approved by Lender (the “Management
Agreement”), (b) after Borrower has knowledge of a fifty percent (50%)
or more change in control of the ownership of Manager (other than in connection
with an IPO, provided Manager, directly or indirectly, is Controlled by the
same Person that Controls Borrower, Borrower will promptly give Lender notice
thereof (a “Manager Control Notice”) and (c) the Management
Agreement may be terminated by Lender at any time for cause (including, but not
limited to, Manager’s gross negligence, misappropriation of funds, willful
misconduct or fraud) or at any time following (A) the occurrence of an
Event of Default, or (B) the receipt of a Manager Control Notice, or (C) the
date upon which the trailing twelve (12) month Debt Service Coverage (as
defined in the Mortgage) is less than the Debt Service Coverage set forth on Exhibit H
to the Mortgage and a substitute managing agent shall be appointed by Lender,
subject to Lender’s prior written approval, which may be given or withheld in
Lender’s sole discretion and which may be conditioned on, inter alia, a letter
from the Rating Agency confirming that any rating issued by the Rating Agency
in connection with a Securitization or Mortgage Securitization will not, as a
result of the proposed change of Manager, be downgraded from the then current
ratings thereof, qualified or withdrawn. 
Borrower may from time to time appoint a successor manager to manage the
Premises with Lender’s prior written consent which consent shall not be
unreasonably withheld or delayed, provided that any such successor manager
shall be a reputable management company which meets the Approved Manager
Standard (as defined in the Mortgage) and each Rating Agency shall have
confirmed in writing that any rating issued by the Rating Agency in connection
with a Securitization or in connection with a Mortgage Securitization will not,
as a result of the proposed change of Manager, be downgraded from the then
current ratings thereof, qualified or withdrawn.  Borrower further covenants and agrees that

 

30

 

Borrower shall require the Manager (or any
successor managers) to maintain at all times during the term of the Loan worker’s
compensation insurance as required by Governmental Authorities.

 

Section 2.33.  Power of Attorney.  Borrower hereby irrevocably appoints and
instructs Lender as its attorney-in-fact, with full authority in the place and
stead of Borrower and in the name of Borrower, Lender or otherwise, from time
to time in Lender’s discretion to take any and all actions necessary and
proper, to carry out the intent of this Agreement and (a) to perfect and
protect the lien, pledge, assignment and security interest of Lender created
hereunder, (b) from and during the continuance of an Event of Default, (i) to
ask, demand, collect, sue for, recover, compromise, receive and give
acquittance and receipts for moneys due and to become due under or in respect
of any of the Collateral, (ii) to file any claims or take any action or
institute any proceedings for the collection of any of the Collateral or
otherwise to enforce the rights of Lender with respect to any of the
Collateral, and (iii) in connection with the exercise of any power, right,
privilege or remedy pursuant to this Agreement, to make all necessary
assignments, transfers and deliveries of the Collateral and rights and to
execute all applications, certificates, instruments, assignments and other
documents and papers, (c) to collect and receive any insurance proceeds
paid with respect to any portion of the insurance policies required to be
maintained hereunder, and to endorse any checks, drafts or other instruments
representing any insurance proceeds whether payable by reason of loss
thereunder or otherwise, (d) to exercise any option to extend or renew the
term of the Ground Lease in the name of and on behalf of Borrower or Owner and (e) from
and during the continuance of an Event of Default, to file and prosecute, to
the exclusion of Borrower and Owner, any proofs of claim, complaints, motions,
applications, notices and other documents, in any case in respect of the Ground
Lessor under the Bankruptcy Code.  Borrower
hereby ratifies, approves and confirms all actions taken by Lender and its
attorneys-in-fact pursuant to this Section 2.33.  Neither Lender nor any said Lender or
attorney-in-fact will be liable for any acts of commission or omission nor for
any error of judgment or mistake of fact or law with respect to its dealings
with the Collateral.  This power of
attorney, being coupled with an interest, is irrevocable until the date upon
which the Debt has been indefeasibly satisfied in full.  Without limiting the foregoing, if Borrower
fails to perform any agreement or obligation contained herein, Lender may
itself perform, or cause performance of, where necessary or advisable in the
name or on behalf of Borrower, and at the expense of Borrower, as applicable.

 

Section 2.34.  Leases.  (a)  Borrower covenants and agrees that,
from the date hereof and until payment in full of the Debt, Borrower shall, or
shall cause Owner to, comply with the terms and provisions of Section 7.02(a) through
(c) of the Mortgage as provided in Section 2.14 hereof, and, to the
extent such term, covenants and conditions require any consents, approvals or
waivers by Mortgage Lender, Lender shall have the same rights to consent,
approve or waive.

 

(b)           Subject
to the rights of Mortgage Lender in respect of the Rents under the Mortgage
Loan Documents at any time that (i) payments are not being made to the
Central Account, (ii) following repayment of the Mortgage Loan or (iii) following
the occurrence of an Event of Default, then Lender shall have the immediate
right to notify all tenants and other third parties to make payments directly
to the Lockbox Account.  Borrower hereby
authorizes and directs the tenants and other third parties to make such payments
directly to the Lockbox Account upon notice by Lender.  Subject to the rights of Mortgage Lender
under the Mortgage Loan Documents, security and other refundable deposits of
tenants, whether held in cash or any

 

31

 

other form, shall, after and during the
continuance of an Event of Default, be turned over to Lender (together with any
undisbursed interest earned thereon) upon Lender’s request therefor to be held
by Lender subject to the terms of the Leases. 
Any letter of credit or other instrument which Borrower or Owner holds
in lieu of cash security deposit shall be maintained in full force and effect
in the full amount of such deposits unless replaced by cash deposits as
herein-above described and shall in all respects comply with any applicable
Legal Requirements and otherwise be satisfactory to Lender.  Borrower shall, upon request, provide Lender
with evidence satisfactory to Lender of Borrower’s and Owner’s compliance with
the foregoing.

 

(c)           Borrower
(i) shall cause Owner to observe and perform all of its material
obligations under the Leases pursuant to applicable Legal Requirements and
shall not do or permit to be done anything to impair the value of the Leases; (ii) shall
cause Owner to promptly send copies to Lender of all notices of material
default which Owner shall receive under the Leases; (iii) shall,
consistent with the Approved Manager Standard, enforce all of the terms,
covenants and conditions contained in the Leases to be observed or performed; (iv) shall
not permit Owner to collect any of the Rents under the Leases more than one (1) month
in advance (except that Owner may collect in advance such security deposits as
are permitted pursuant to applicable Legal Requirements and are commercially
reasonable in the prevailing market); (v) shall not permit Owner to cancel
or terminate any of the Leases or accept a surrender thereof in any manner
inconsistent with the Approved Manager Standard; (vi) shall not permit
Owner to alter, modify or change the terms of any guaranty of any Major Space
Lease or cancel or terminate any such guaranty; (vii) shall cause Owner,
in accordance with the Approved Manager Standard, to make all reasonable
efforts to seek lessees for space as it becomes vacant and enter into Leases in
accordance with the terms hereof; and (viii) shall not permit Owner to
materially modify, alter or amend any Major Space Lease or Premises Agreement
without Lender’s consent, which consent will not be unreasonably withheld or
delayed.  In all instances that Owner is
required to obtain the consent of Mortgage Lender prior to entering into any
Lease, Lease amendment, modification or termination, Borrower shall cause Owner
to obtain Lender’s consent to such proposed Lease, Lease amendment, modification
or termination prior to permitting or causing Owner to submit the proposed
Lease, Lease amendment, modification or termination to Mortgage Lender.  Borrower shall, and shall cause Owner to,
promptly send copies to Lender of all notices of material default which Owner
shall receive under the Leases.

 

Section 2.35.  Condemnation.  In the event that all or any portion of the
Premises shall be damaged or taken through condemnation (which term shall
include any damage or taking by any governmental authority, quasi-governmental
authority, any party having the power of condemnation, or any transfer by
private sale in lieu thereof), or any such condemnation shall be threatened,
Borrower shall give prompt written notice to Lender.  Lender acknowledges that Owner’s rights to
any condemnation award is subject to the terms of the Mortgage.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, Borrower may
not and shall not permit Owner to settle or compromise any claim, action or
proceeding relating to such damage or condemnation without the prior written
consent of Lender, which shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or denied;
provided, further, that Owner may settle, adjust and compromise any such claim,
action or proceeding which is of an amount less than $250,000 provided no Event
of Default has occurred.  Any proceeds
remaining after the application of any award to reconstruct or repair the
Premises or to the payment of the Mortgage Loan shall be paid to Lender and
applied to the payment of the Debt whether or not then due.  In the event that Owner is permitted pursuant
to the terms of

 

32

 

the Mortgage to reconstruct, restore or
repair the Premises following a condemnation of any portion of the Premises,
Borrower shall cause Owner to promptly and diligently repair and restore the
Premises in the manner and within the time periods required by the Mortgage,
the Leases and any other agreements affecting the Premises.  In the event that Owner is permitted pursuant
to the terms of the Mortgage to elect not to reconstruct, restore or repair the
Premises following a condemnation of any portion of the Premises, Borrower
shall not permit Owner to elect not to reconstruct, restore or repair the Premises
without the prior written consent of Lender.

 

Section 2.36.  Ground Lease.

 

(a)           Borrower
will, and will cause Owner to, comply in all material respects with the terms
and conditions of the Ground Lease. 
Borrower will not, and will not permit Owner to, do or permit anything
to be done, the doing of which, or refrain from doing anything, the omission of
which, will impair or tend to impair the security of the Premises under the
Ground Lease or will be grounds for declaring a forfeiture of the Ground
Lease.  Borrower shall, and shall cause Owner
to, promptly send copies of all notices of default which Owner may receive
under the Ground Lease to Lender.

 

(b)           Borrower
shall, and shall cause Owner to, enforce the Ground Lease and not terminate,
modify, cancel, change, supplement, alter or amend the Ground Lease, or waive,
excuse, condone or in any way release or discharge Ground Lessor of or from any
of the material covenants and conditions to be performed or observed by Ground
Lessor.

 

(c)           Lender
shall have the right, but not the obligation, to perform any obligations of
Borrower or Owner under the terms of the Ground Lease during the continuance of
an Event of Default.  All costs and
expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees and
expenses) so incurred, shall be treated as an advance secured by this
Agreement, shall bear interest thereon at the Default Rate from the date of
payment by Lender until paid in full and shall be paid by Borrower to Lender
during the continuance of an Event of Default on demand.  No performance by Lender of any obligations
of Borrower or Owner shall constitute a waiver of any Event of Default arising
by reason of Borrower’s or Owner’s failure to perform the same.  If Lender shall make any payment or perform
any act or take action in accordance with this Section 2.36(c), Lender
will notify Borrower of the making of any such payment, the performance of any
such act, or the taking of any such action.

 

(d)           Borrower
shall cause Owner to exercise each individual option, if any, to extend or
renew the term of the Ground Lease not less than thirty (30) days prior to the
last day upon which any such option may be exercised (and in all events within
five (5) days after demand by Lender made at any time within one (1) year
of the last day upon which any such option may be exercised), and Borrower
hereby expressly authorizes and appoints Lender its attorney-in-fact to
exercise any such option on behalf of Owner to so exercise such option if
Borrower fails to cause Owner to exercise as herein required, which power of
attorney shall be irrevocable and shall be deemed to be coupled with an
interest.  Borrower shall give Lender
notice of Owner’s exercise of any such option to extend or renew the term of
the Ground Lease within five (5) days of the exercise of any such option.

 

33

 

(e)           Subject
to Mortgage Lender’s rights under the Mortgage Loan, Borrower shall cause Owner
to assign, transfer and set over to Lender all of Borrower’s claims and rights
to the payment of damages arising from any rejection by the Ground Lessor of
the Ground Lease under the Bankruptcy Code. 
Borrower shall notify Lender promptly (and in any event within ten (10) days)
of any claim, suit, action or proceeding relating to the rejection of the Ground
Lease.  Lender is hereby irrevocably
appointed as Borrower’s attorney-in-fact, coupled with an interest, with
exclusive power to file and prosecute, to the exclusion of Borrower, any proofs
of claim, complaints, motions, applications, notices and other documents, in
any case in respect of the Ground Lessor under the Bankruptcy Code during the
continuance of an Event of Default. 
Borrower may make any compromise or settlement in connection with such
proceedings (subject to Lender’s reasonable approval); provided, however, that
Lender shall be authorized and entitled to compromise or settle any such
proceeding if such compromise or settlement is made after the occurrence and
during the continuance of an Event of Default. 
Borrower shall promptly execute and deliver to Lender any and all
instruments reasonably required in connection with any such proceeding after
request therefor by Lender.  Except as
set forth above, Borrower shall not, nor permit Owner to, adjust, compromise,
settle or enter into any agreement with respect to such proceedings without the
prior written consent of Lender, which consent shall not be unreasonably
withheld or delayed.

 

(f)            Borrower
shall not permit Owner to, without Lender’s prior written consent, elect to
treat the Ground Lease as terminated under Section 365(h)(1) of the
Bankruptcy Code.  Any such election made
without Lender’s prior written consent shall be void.

 

(g)           If
pursuant to Section 365(h)(2) of the Bankruptcy Code, Owner seeks to
offset against the rent reserved in the Ground Lease the amount of any damages
caused by the non-performance by the Ground Lessor of any of the Ground Lessor’s
obligations under the Ground Lease after the rejection by the Ground Lessor of
the Ground Lease under the Bankruptcy Code, Borrower shall, prior to Owner
effecting such offset, notify Lender of its intention to do so, setting forth
the amounts proposed to be so offset and the basis therefor.  If Lender has failed to object as aforesaid
within ten (10) days after notice from Borrower in accordance with the
first sentence of this Section 2.35(g), Borrower may permit Owner to
proceed to effect such offset in the amounts set forth in Borrower’s
notice.  Neither Lender’s failure to
object as aforesaid nor any objection or other communication between Lender and
Borrower relating to such offset shall constitute an approval of any such
offset by Lender.  Borrower shall
indemnify and save Lender harmless from and against any and all claims,
demands, actions, suits, proceedings, damages, losses, costs and expenses of
every nature whatsoever (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’
fees and disbursements) arising from or relating to any such offset by Owner
against the rent reserved in the Ground Lease.

 

(h)           Borrower
shall immediately, after obtaining knowledge thereof, notify Lender of any
filing by or against the Ground Lessor of a petition under the Bankruptcy
Code.  Borrower shall thereafter
forthwith give written notice of such filing to Lender, setting forth any
information available to Borrower or Owner as to the date of such filing, the
court in which such petition was filed, and the relief sought therein.  Borrower shall promptly deliver to Lender
following receipt any and all notices, summonses, pleadings, applications and
other documents received by Borrower or Owner in connection with any such
petition and any proceedings relating thereto.

 

34

 

(i)            Borrower
shall, and shall cause Owner to, perform all other covenants with respect to
the Ground Lease as set forth in the Mortgage for so long as any portion of the
Debt remains outstanding (regardless of whether the Mortgage Loan remains
outstanding).

Section 3.02.  Remedies.  (a)  Upon the occurrence and during the
continuance of any Event of Default, Lender may, in addition to any other
rights or remedies available to it hereunder or under any other Loan Document,
at law or in equity, take such action, without notice or demand, as it
reasonably deems advisable to protect and enforce its rights against Borrower
and in and to the Collateral, including, but not limited to, the following
actions, each of which may be pursued singly, concurrently or otherwise, at
such time and in such order as Lender may determine, in its sole discretion,
without impairing or otherwise affecting any other rights and remedies of
Lender hereunder, at law or in equity:  (i) declare
all or any portion of the unpaid Loan to be immediately due and payable;

the entire Loan will be immediately due and

 

36

 

payable without notice or demand or any other
declaration of the amounts due and payable; or (ii) bring an action to

addition to the remedies described in subsection (a) above, if any
Event of Default shall occur, so long as such Event of Default shall be
continuing, (i) Lender and/or its nominees or designees shall have the
right to receive any and all dividends, payments or Distributions paid with

pursuant to the Equity Interests and/or the applicable Organizational
Documents, and Lender and/or such nominee(s) or designee(s) may thereafter
exercise (A) all voting and other rights pertaining to the Equity
Interests under the Organizational Documents, and (ii) any and all rights
of conversion, exchange, subscription and any other rights, privileges or
options pertaining to the Equity Interests as if they were the absolute owners
thereof (including the right to exchange at their discretion any and all of the
Equity Interests upon the merger, consolidation, reorganization,
recapitalization or other change in the structure of any Corporation, LLC or
Partnership), or upon the exercise by Borrower or Lender and/or such nominee(s)
or designee(s) of any right, privilege or option pertaining to such Equity
Interests, and, in connection therewith, the right to deposit and deliver
evidences of the Equity Interests with any committee, depository, transfer
agent, registrar or other designated agency (upon such terms and conditions as they
may determine), all without liability except to account for property actually
received by them, but neither Lender nor any such nominee or designee shall
have any duty to exercise any such right, privilege or option and shall not be
responsible for any failure to do so or delay in so doing.  Further, unless and until Lender and/or such
nominee(s) or designee(s) succeeds to actual ownership thereof, pursuant to the
exercise of Lender’s remedies described in subsection (a) above,
neither Lender nor any such nominee or designee shall be obligated to perform
or discharge any obligation, duty or liability in connection with the Equity
Interests or the Collateral.  The rights
of Lender hereunder shall not be conditioned or contingent upon the pursuit by
Lender of any other right or remedy against Borrower or any guarantor of any of
the Debt, or against any other Person which may be or become liable in respect
of all or any part of the Debt or against any other collateral security
therefor, guarantee thereof or right of offset with respect thereto.  Neither Lender nor

 

37

 

any of its nominees or designees shall be
liable for any failure to demand, collect or realize upon all or any part of
the Collateral or for any delay in doing so, nor shall they be under any
obligation to sell or otherwise dispose of any Collateral upon the request of
Borrower or any other Person or to take any other action whatsoever with regard
to the Collateral or any part thereof.

 

(c)           Following
the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, Lender may,
at its election, and in addition to any other remedies available hereunder, in
its sole and absolute discretion, no such duty being imposed hereby, pay,
purchase, contest or compromise any encumbrance, charge or lien which is prior
or superior to its security interest in the Collateral and pay all expenses
incurred therewith (any payment or expense so incurred shall be deemed a part
of the Debt and shall be immediately due and payable and secured hereby), all
of which shall be deemed authorized by Borrower.  All such expenses not paid when due shall
accrue interest at the Default Rate.

 

(d)           Without
limiting the generality of the other provisions of this Agreement, Lender is
hereby authorized by Borrower, but not obligated, in the event of any Event of
Default hereunder giving rise to Lender’s rights to sell or otherwise dispose
of the Collateral, and after the giving of any notices required herein, to sell
all or any part of the Collateral at private sale, subject to an investment
letter or in any other manner which will not require the Collateral, or any
part thereof, to be registered in accordance with the Securities Act of 1933,
as amended (the “Securities Act”), or other applicable rules and
regulations promulgated thereunder, or any other law or regulation, at the best
price reasonably obtainable by Lender at any such private sale or other
disposition in the manner mentioned above, and Borrower specifically
acknowledges that any such disposition shall be commercially reasonable under
the UCC even though any such private sales may be at prices and on terms less
favorable than those obtainable through a public sale without such
restrictions, and agrees that Lender shall have no obligation to engage in
public sales and no obligation to delay the sale of any Collateral for the
period of time necessary to permit the issuer thereof to register it for a form
of public sale required by registration under the Securities Act or under applicable
state securities laws, even if such issuer would, or should agree to, so
register it.  Lender is also hereby
authorized by Borrower, but not obligated, to take such actions, give such
notices, obtain such consents, and do such other things as Lender may deem
required or appropriate in the event of a sale or disposition of any of the
Collateral.  If Lender determines to
exercise its right to sell any or all of the Collateral, upon written request,
Borrower shall and shall cause each issuer of any Pledged Interests or other
Equity Interests owned by Borrower to be sold hereunder from time to time to
furnish to Lender all such information as Lender may request in order to
determine the number of shares and other instruments included in the Collateral
which may be sold by Lender in exempt transactions under the Securities Act and
the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission
thereunder, as the same are from time to time in effect.  Borrower clearly understands that Lender may
at its discretion approach a restricted number of potential purchasers and that
a sale under such circumstances may yield a lower price for the Collateral, or
any part or parts thereof, than would otherwise be obtainable if same were
registered and sold in the open market. 
Borrower agrees:  (i) in the
event Lender shall, upon an Event of Default hereunder, sell the Collateral, or
any portion thereof, at such private sale or sales, Lender shall have the right
to rely upon the advice and opinion of any member firm of the National Security
Exchange as to the best price reasonably obtainable upon such private sale
thereof; and (ii) that such reliance shall

 

38

 

be conclusive evidence that Lender handled
such matter in a commercially reasonable manner under the UCC.

 

(e)           In
order to permit Lender to exercise the voting and other consensual rights which
it may be entitled to exercise pursuant to this Agreement and to receive all
dividends and other Distributions which it may be entitled to receive under
this Agreement, (i) Borrower shall promptly execute and deliver (or cause
to be executed and delivered) to Lender all such proxies, dividend payment
orders and other instruments as Lender may from time to time reasonably request
and (ii) WITHOUT LIMITING THE EFFECT OF
THE IMMEDIATELY PRECEDING CLAUSE (i), BORROWER HEREBY GRANTS TO LENDER AN
IRREVOCABLE PROXY TO VOTE THE PLEDGED INTERESTS AND OTHER EQUITY INTERESTS
PLEDGED BY BORROWER AND TO EXERCISE ALL OTHER RIGHTS, POWERS, PRIVILEGES AND
REMEDIES TO WHICH A HOLDER OF THE PLEDGED INTERESTS OR OTHER EQUITY INTERESTS
WOULD BE ENTITLED (INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION GIVING OR WITHHOLDING WRITTEN
CONSENTS OF SHAREHOLDERS, MEMBERS OR PARTNERS, AS APPLICABLE, CALLING SPECIAL
MEETINGS OF SHAREHOLDERS, MEMBERS OR PARTNERS, AS APPLICABLE, AND VOTING AT
SUCH MEETINGS), WHICH PROXY SHALL BE EFFECTIVE, AUTOMATICALLY AND WITHOUT THE
NECESSITY OF ANY ACTION (INCLUDING ANY TRANSFER OF ANY PLEDGED INTERESTS ON THE
RECORD BOOKS OF THE ISSUER THEREOF) BY ANY OTHER PERSON (INCLUDING THE ISSUER
OF THE PLEDGED INTERESTS OR ANY OFFICER OR AGENT THEREOF), UPON THE OCCURRENCE
AND DURING THE CONTINUANCE OF AN EVENT OF DEFAULT AND WHICH PROXY SHALL ONLY
TERMINATE UPON THE PAYMENT IN FULL OF THE DEBT OTHER THAN THE SURVIVING
OBLIGATIONS (WHICH, HOWEVER, SHALL REMAIN SUBJECT TO THE PREFERENTIAL PAYMENT
PROVISIONS).

 

(f)            Any
time after an Event of Default Lender shall have the power to sell the
Collateral or any part thereof at public auction, in such manner, at such time
and place, upon such terms and conditions, and upon such public notice as
Lender may deem best for the interest of Lender, or as may be required or
permitted by applicable law, consisting of advertisement in a newspaper of
general circulation in the jurisdiction and for such period as applicable law
may require and at such other times and by such other methods, if any, as may
be required by law to convey the Collateral to and at the cost of the
purchaser, who shall not be liable to see to the application of the purchase
money.  Notwithstanding anything
contained in this Agreement or in any other Loan Document, the proceeds or
avails of any sale made under or by virtue of this Section, together with any
other sums which then may be held by Lender under this Agreement, whether under
the provisions of this Section or otherwise, shall be applied as follows:

 

First: 
To the payment of the third-party costs and expenses reasonably incurred
in connection with any such sale (including, without limitation, any transfer
taxes) and to advances, fees and expenses, including, without limitation,
reasonable fees and expenses of Lender’s legal counsel as applicable, and of
any judicial proceedings wherein the same may be made, and of all expenses,
liabilities and advances reasonably made or incurred by Lender under this
Agreement, together with interest as provided herein on all such advances made
by Lender;

 

39

 

Second: 
To the payment of the whole amount then due, owing and unpaid under the
Note for principal and interest thereon, with interest on such unpaid principal
at the Default Rate from the date of the occurrence of the earliest Event of
Default that formed a basis for such sale until the same is paid;

 

Third: 
To the payment of any other portion of the Loan required to be paid by
Borrower pursuant to any provision of this Agreement, the Note, or any of the
other Loan Documents; and

 

Fourth: 
The surplus, if any, to Intermediate Mezz Lender if the Intermediate
Mezz Loan is then outstanding and if the Intermediate Mezz Loan is not
outstanding, then to Junior Mezz Lender if the Junior Mezz Loan is then
outstanding and if the Junior Mezz Loan is not outstanding then to Borrower
unless otherwise required by Legal Requirements.

 

Lender and any receiver or custodian of the Collateral or any part
thereof shall be liable to account for only those rents, issues, proceeds and
profits, as applicable, actually received by it.

 

(g)           Lender
may adjourn from time to time any sale by it to be made under or by virtue of
this Agreement by announcement at the time and place appointed for such sale or
for such adjourned sale or sales and, except as otherwise provided by any
applicable provision of Legal Requirements, Lender, without further notice or
publication, may make such sale at the time and place to which the same shall
be so adjourned.

 

(h)           Upon
the completion of any sale or sales made by Lender under or by virtue of this
Section, Lender, or any officer of any court empowered to do so, shall execute
and deliver to the accepted purchaser or purchasers a good and sufficient
instrument, or good and sufficient instruments, granting, conveying, assigning
and transferring all estate, right, title and interest in and to the Collateral.  Lender is hereby irrevocably appointed the
true and lawful attorney-in-fact of Borrower (coupled with an interest), in its
name and stead, to make all necessary conveyances, assignments, transfers and
deliveries and for that purpose Lender may execute all necessary instruments of
conveyance, assignment, transfer and delivery, and may substitute one or more
Persons with like power, Borrower hereby ratifying and confirming all that its
said attorney-in-fact or such substitute or substitutes shall lawfully do by
virtue hereof.  Nevertheless, Borrower,
if so requested by Lender, shall ratify and confirm any such sale or sales by
executing and delivering to Lender, or to such purchaser or purchasers all such
instruments as may be advisable, in the sole judgment of Lender, for such
purpose, and as may be designated in such request.  Any such sale or sales made under or by
virtue of this Section shall operate to divest all the estate, right,
title, interest, claim and demand whatsoever, whether at law or in equity, of
Borrower in and to the Collateral, and shall, to the fullest extent permitted
under Legal Requirements, be a perpetual bar, both at law and in equity against
Borrower and against any and all Persons claiming or who may claim the same, or
any part thereof, from, through or under Borrower.

 

(i)            In
the event of any sale made under or by virtue of this Section, the entire Loan
immediately thereupon shall, anything in the Loan Documents to the contrary
notwithstanding, become due and payable.

 

40

 

(j)            Upon
any sale made under or by virtue of this Section (whether made under the
power of sale herein granted or under or by virtue of judicial proceedings or a
judgment or decree of foreclosure and sale), Lender may bid for and acquire the
Collateral or any part thereof and in lieu of paying cash therefor may make
settlement for the purchase price by crediting upon the Loan the net sales
price after deducting therefrom the expenses of the sale (including, without limitation,
transfer taxes) and the costs of the action.

 

(k)           No
recovery of any judgment by Lender and no levy of an execution under any
judgment upon the Collateral or upon any other property of Borrower shall
release the lien of this Agreement upon the Collateral or any part thereof, or
any liens, rights, powers or remedies of Lender hereunder, but such liens,
rights, powers and remedies of Lender shall continue unimpaired until all
amounts due under the Note, this Agreement and the other Loan Documents are
paid in full.

 

(l)            Upon
the exercise by Lender of any power, right, privilege, or remedy pursuant to
this Agreement which requires any consent, approval, registration,
qualification, or authorization of any Governmental Authority, Borrower agrees
to execute and deliver, or will cause the execution and delivery of, all
applications, certificates, instruments, assignments and other documents and
papers that Lender or any purchaser of the Collateral may be required to obtain
for such governmental consent, approval, registration, qualification, or
authorization and Lender is hereby irrevocably appointed the true and lawful
attorney-in-fact of Borrower (coupled with an interest), in its name and stead,
to execute all such applications, certificates, instruments, assignments and
other documents and papers.

 

(m)          Lender
may comply with any applicable Legal Requirements in connection with the
disposition of the Collateral, and Lender’s compliance therewith will not be
considered to adversely affect the commercial reasonableness of any sale of the
Collateral.

 

(n)           Lender
may sell the Collateral without giving any warranties as to the Collateral.
Lender may specifically disclaim any warranties of title, possession, quiet
enjoyment or the like.  This procedure
will not be considered to adversely affect the commercial reasonableness of any
sale of the Collateral.

 

(o)           If
Lender sells any of the Collateral upon credit, Borrower will be credited only
with payments actually made by the purchaser, received by Lender and applied to
the indebtedness of the purchaser.  In
the event the purchaser of the Collateral fails to fully pay for the
Collateral, Lender may resell the Collateral and Borrower will be credited with
the proceeds of such sale.

 

Section 3.03.  No Conditions Precedent to Exercise of
Lender’s Remedies.  Borrower waives
any and all legal requirements that Lender institute any action or proceeding
at law or in equity against Borrower or any other party or exhaust its remedies
against Borrower or any other party in respect of any other security held by
Lender for the Debt or any portion thereof as a condition precedent to
exercising its right and remedies pursuant to this Agreement.

 

Section 3.04.  Additional Security.  Borrower authorizes Lender without notice or
demand and without affecting its liability under this Agreement or under the
Note (i) to take and

 

41

 

hold security in addition to the security
interest in the Collateral granted by Borrower to Lender pursuant to this
Agreement, for the payment of the Debt or any part thereof, and to exchange,
waive or release any such other security and (ii) to release or substitute
Borrower.

 

Section 3.05.  Rights and Remedies Continue.  Until the Debt shall have been paid in full,
all rights, powers and remedies granted to Lender under this Agreement shall
continue to exist and may be exercised by Lender at any time and from time to
time irrespective of the fact that the Debt or any part thereof may have become
barred by any statute of limitations or that the liability of Borrower therefor
may have ceased.

 

Section 3.06.  Right to Terminate Proceedings.  Lender may terminate or rescind any
proceeding or other action brought in connection with its exercise of the
remedies provided in Section 3.02 at any time before the conclusion
thereof, as determined in Lender’s sole discretion and without prejudice to
Lender.

 

Section 3.07.  No Waiver or Release.  The failure of Lender to exercise any right,
remedy or option provided in the Loan Documents shall not be deemed a waiver of
such right, remedy or option or of any covenant or obligation contained in the
Loan Documents.  No acceptance by Lender
of any payment after the occurrence of an Event of Default and no payment by
Lender of any payment or obligation for which Borrower is liable hereunder
shall be deemed to waive or cure any Event of Default.  No sale of all or any portion of the
Collateral, no forbearance on the part of Lender, and no extension of time for
the payment of the whole or any portion of the Loan or any other indulgence
given by Lender to Borrower or any other Person, shall operate to release or in
any manner affect the interest of Lender in the Collateral or the liability of
Borrower to pay the Loan.  No waiver by
Lender shall be effective unless it is in writing and then only to the extent
specifically stated.

 

Section 3.08.  Payment of Debt After Default.  If following the occurrence of any Event of
Default, Borrower shall tender payment of an amount sufficient to satisfy the
Debt in whole or in part at any time prior to a UCC sale of the Collateral, and
if at the time of such tender prepayment of the principal balance of the Note
is not permitted by the Note and this Agreement, Borrower shall, in addition to
the entire Debt, also pay to Lender a sum equal to interest which would have
accrued on the principal balance of the Note at an interest rate equal to the
LIBOR Margin for the Note plus the greater of (x) the then current LIBOR Rate
and (y) the then current average yield for “This Week” as published by the
Federal Reserve Board during the most recent full week preceding the date on
which Borrower tenders such payment in Federal Reserve Statistical Release H.15
(519) for instruments having a ten (10) year maturity, from the date of
such tender to the earlier of (a) the Maturity Date or (b) the first
day of the period during which prepayment of the principal balance of the Note
would have been permitted together with a prepayment consideration equal to the
prepayment consideration which would have been payable as of the first day of
the period during which prepayment would have been permitted.  If at the time of such tender, prepayment of
the principal balance of the Note is permitted, such tender by Borrower shall
be deemed to be a voluntary prepayment of the principal balance of the Note and
Borrower shall, in addition to the entire Debt, also pay to Lender the
applicable Exit Additional Interest Payment and prepayment consideration
specified in the Note and this Agreement.

 

Section 3.09.  No Impairment; No Releases.  The interests and rights of Lender under the

 

42

 

Loan Documents shall not be impaired by any
indulgence, including (a) any renewal, extension or modification which
Lender may grant with respect to any of the Loan; (b) any surrender,
compromise, release, renewal, extension, exchange or substitution which Lender
may grant with respect to the Loan Documents or any portion thereof; or (c) any
release or indulgence granted to any maker, endorser, or surety of any of the
Loan.

 

Section 3.10.  Interest After Default.  If any amount due under the Note, this
Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents is not paid within any applicable
notice and grace period after same is due, whether such date is the stated due
date, any accelerated due date or any other date or at any other time specified
under any of the terms hereof or thereof, then, in such event, Borrower shall
pay interest on the amount not so paid from and after the date on which such
amount first becomes due at the Default Rate; and such interest shall be due
and payable at such rate until the earlier of the cure of all Events of Default
or the payment of the entire amount due to Lender, whether or not any action
shall have been taken or proceeding commenced to recover the same or to
foreclose this Agreement.  All unpaid and
accrued interest shall be secured by this Agreement as part of the Debt.  Nothing in this Section or in any other
provision of this Agreement shall constitute an extension of the time for
payment of the Debt.

 

Section 3.11.  Late Payment Charge.  If any portion of the Debt is not paid in
full on or before the date on which it is due and payable hereunder (other than
the principal portion of the Debt due on the Maturity Date), Borrower shall pay
to Lender an amount equal to five percent (5%) of such unpaid portion of the
Debt (“Late Charge”) to defray the expense incurred by Lender in
handling and processing such delinquent payment, and such amount shall
constitute a part of the Debt.

 

Section 3.12.  Recovery of Sums Required To Be Paid.  Lender shall have the right from time to time
to take action to recover any sum or sums which constitute a part of the Debt
as the same become due and payable hereunder (after the expiration of any grace
period or the giving of any notice herein provided, if any), without regard to
whether or not the balance of the Debt shall be due, and without prejudice to
the right of Lender thereafter to bring an action of foreclosure, or any other
action, for a default or defaults by Borrower existing at the time such earlier
action was commenced.

 

Section 3.13.  Control By Lender After Default.  Notwithstanding the appointment of any
custodian, receiver, liquidator or trustee of Borrower, or of any of its
property, or of the Collateral or any part thereof, to the extent permitted by
Legal Requirements, Lender shall be entitled to obtain possession and control
of all Collateral.

 

ARTICLE IV.  INDEMNIFICATION

 

Section 4.01.  Indemnification Covering Property.  In addition, and without limitation, to any
other provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, Borrower shall
protect, indemnify and save harmless Lender and its successors and assigns, and
each of their agents, employees, officers, directors, stockholders, partners
and members (collectively, “Indemnified Parties”) for, from and against
any claims, demands, penalties, fines, liabilities, settlements, damages, costs
and expenses of whatever kind or nature, known or unknown, contingent or
otherwise, whether incurred or imposed within or outside the judicial process,
including, without

 

43

 

limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees and
disbursements imposed upon or incurred by or asserted against any of the
Indemnified Parties by reason of (a) ownership of this Agreement or the
Collateral; (b) any accident, injury to or death of any person or loss of
or damage to property occurring in, on or about the Premises or any part thereof
or on the adjoining sidewalks, curbs, parking areas, streets or ways; (c) any
use, nonuse or condition in, on or about, or possession, alteration, repair,
operation, maintenance or management of, the Premises or any part thereof or on
the adjoining sidewalks, curbs, parking areas, streets or ways; (d) any
failure on the part of Borrower to perform or comply with any of the terms of
this Agreement; (e) performance of any labor or services or the furnishing
of any materials or other property in respect of the Premises or any part
thereof; (f) any claim by brokers, finders or similar Persons claiming to
be entitled to a commission in connection with any Lease or other transaction
involving the Premises or any part thereof; (g) any Imposition including, without
limitation, any Imposition attributable to the execution, delivery, filing, or
recording of any Loan Document, Lease or memorandum thereof; (h) any lien
or claim arising on or against the Premises or any part thereof under any Legal
Requirement or any liability asserted against any of the Indemnified Parties
with respect thereto; (i) any claim arising out of or in any way relating
to any tax or other imposition on the making and/or recording of this
Agreement, the Note or any of the other Loan Documents; (j) a Default under
Sections 2.02(f), 2.02(g), 2.02(k) or 2.02(s) hereof, (k) the failure of any
Person to file timely with the Internal Revenue Service an accurate Form 1099-B,
Statement for Recipients of Proceeds from Real Estate, Broker and Barter
Exchange Transactions, which may be required in connection with the Loan, or to
supply a copy thereof in a timely fashion to the recipient of the proceeds of
the Loan; (l) the claims of any lessee or any Person acting through or under
any lessee or otherwise arising under or as a consequence of any Lease; or (m)
the actual or alleged presence, disposal, escape, seepage, leakage, spillage,
discharge, emission, release or threat of release of any Hazardous Materials
in, on, over, under, from or affecting the Premises or (n) the failure to pay
any insurance premiums.  Notwithstanding
the foregoing provisions of this Section to the contrary, Borrower shall
have no obligation to indemnify the Indemnified Parties pursuant to this Section for
liabilities, obligations, claims, damages, penalties, causes of action, costs
and expenses relative to the foregoing which result from Lender’s, and its
successors’ or assigns’, willful misconduct or gross negligence.  Any amounts payable to Lender by reason of
the application of this Section shall constitute a part of the Debt
secured by this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and shall become
immediately due and payable and shall bear interest at the Default Rate from
the date the liability, obligation, claim, cost or expense is sustained by
Lender, as applicable, until paid.  The
provisions of this Section shall survive the termination of this Agreement
whether by repayment of the Debt, foreclosure of this Agreement, assignment or
otherwise.  In case any action, suit or proceeding
is brought against any of the Indemnified Parties by reason of any occurrence
of the type set forth in (a) through (m) above, Borrower shall, at
Borrower’s expense, resist and defend such action, suit or proceeding or will
cause the same to be resisted and defended by counsel at Borrower’s expense for
the insurer of the liability or by counsel designated by Borrower (unless
reasonably disapproved by Lender promptly after Lender has been notified of
such counsel); provided, however, that nothing herein shall
compromise the right of Lender (or any other Indemnified Party) to appoint its
own counsel at Borrower’s expense for its defense with respect to any action
which, in the reasonable opinion of Lender or such other Indemnified Party, as
applicable, presents a conflict or potential conflict between Lender or such
other Indemnified Party that would make such separate representation
advisable.  Any Indemnified Party will
give Borrower prompt notice after such Indemnified

 

44

 

Party obtains actual knowledge of any
potential claim by such Indemnified Party for indemnification hereunder.  The Indemnified Parties shall not settle or
compromise any action, proceeding or claim as to which it is indemnified hereunder
without notice to Borrower. 
Notwithstanding the foregoing, so long as no Default has occurred and is
continuing and Borrower is resisting and defending such action, suit or
proceeding as provided above in a prudent and commercially reasonable manner,
in order to obtain the benefit of this Section with respect to such
action, suit or proceeding, Lender and the Indemnified Parties agree that they
shall not settle such action, suit or proceeding without obtaining Borrower’s
consent which Borrower agrees not to unreasonably withhold, condition or delay;
provided, however, (x) if Borrower is not diligently defending
such action, suit or proceeding in a prudent and commercially reasonable manner
as provided above and Lender has provided Borrower with thirty (30) days’ prior
written notice, or shorter period if mandated by the requirements of the
applicable law, and Borrower has failed to correct such failure, or (y) failure
to settle could, in Lender’s reasonable judgment, expose Lender to criminal
liability, Lender may settle such action, suit or proceeding without the
consent of but upon notice to Borrower and be entitled to the benefits of this Section with
respect to the settlement of such action, suit or proceeding.

 

ARTICLE V.  SECURITY
AGREEMENT

 

Section 5.01.  Security Agreement.  (a)  This Agreement is a “security
agreement” within the meaning of the UCC. 
If an Event of Default shall occur, Lender, in addition to any other
rights and remedies which it may have, shall have and may exercise immediately
and without demand, any and all rights and remedies granted to a secured party
upon default under the UCC, including, without limiting the generality of the
foregoing, the right to take possession of the Collateral or any part thereof,
and to take such other measures as Lender may deem necessary for the care,
protection and preservation of the Collateral. 
Upon request or demand of Lender following an Event of Default, Borrower
shall, at its expense, assemble the Collateral and make it available to Lender at
a convenient place acceptable to Lender. 
Borrower shall pay to Lender on demand any and all expenses, including
reasonable legal expenses and attorneys’ fees and all transfer taxes, incurred
or paid by Lender in protecting its interest in the Collateral and in enforcing
its rights hereunder with respect to the Collateral.  Any notice of sale, disposition or other
intended action by Lender with respect to the Collateral given to Borrower in
accordance with the provisions hereof at least ten (10) days prior to such
action shall constitute reasonable notice to Borrower.

 

(b)           Borrower
hereby irrevocably appoints Lender as its attorney-in-fact, coupled with an
interest, to file with the appropriate public office on its behalf any
financing or other statements signed only by Lender, as secured party, or, to
the extent permitted under the UCC, unsigned, in connection with the Collateral
covered by this Agreement.

 

(c)           Borrower
will furnish to Lender from time to time statements and schedules further
identifying and describing the Collateral and such other reports in connection
with the Collateral as Lender may reasonably request, all in reasonable detail.

 

(d)           The
powers conferred on Lender hereunder are solely to protect Lender’s interest in
the Collateral and shall not impose any duty upon it to exercise any such
powers.  Except for the safe custody of
any Collateral in its possession and the accounting for moneys actually

 

45

 

received by it hereunder, Lender shall have
no duty (and neither Lender nor any of its officers, directors, employees or
agents shall be responsible to Borrower for any act or failure to act) as to
any Collateral, as to ascertaining or taking action with respect to calls,
conversions, exchanges, maturities, tenders or other matters relating to any
Collateral, whether or not Lender has or is deemed to have knowledge of such
matters, or as to the taking of any necessary steps to preserve rights against
any parties or any other rights pertaining to any Collateral.  Lender shall be deemed to have exercised
reasonable care in the custody and preservation of any Collateral in its
possession if such Collateral is accorded treatment substantially equal to that
which it accords its own property.

 

ARTICLE VI.  PREPAYMENT

 

Section 6.01.  Prepayment.  (a) Except as set forth in Section 6.01(b) hereof,
no prepayment of the Debt may be made in whole or in part.

 

(b)           Borrower
may prepay the Loan, in whole or in part, as of the last day of an Interest
Accrual Period in accordance with the following provisions:

 

(i)            Lender
shall have received from Borrower, not less than thirty (30) days’, or in the
case of the IPO, fifteen (15) days, nor more than ninety (90) days’, prior
written notice specifying the date proposed for such prepayment and the amount
which is to be prepaid.

 

(ii)           Borrower shall also pay
to Lender all interest due through and including the last day of the Interest
Accrual Period in which such prepayment is being made, together with any and
all other amounts due and owing pursuant to the terms of the Note, this
Agreement or the other Loan Documents.

 

(iii)          Any partial prepayment
shall be in a minimum amount of not less than $25,000 and shall be in whole
multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof.

 

(iv)          Intentionally omitted.

 

(v)           Any partial prepayment
of the Principal Amount, including, without limitation, Unscheduled Payments,
shall be applied to the installments of principal last due hereunder and shall
not release or relieve Borrower from the obligation to pay the Minimum
Amortization Payments (as defined in the Note) becoming due under the Note.

 

(vi)          In the event that the
Loan is prepaid in whole or in part prior to the first (1st) anniversary of the
date hereof, Borrower shall pay to Lender, together with such prepayment and
all other amounts due in connection therewith, a non-refundable amount which
shall be deemed earned by Lender upon the funding of the Loan and shall not
count to or be credited to payment of the Principal Amount, any interest thereon
or any other amounts payable under the Note, the Agreement or any of the Loan
Documents, equal to the Spread Maintenance Premium.

 

(vii)         No prepayments shall be
made on the Mortgage Loan until the Loan shall have been paid in full other
than in connection with a Release pursuant to the Mortgage Loan, in which case Borrower
shall be required to prepay only a portion of the Loan in an

 

46

 

amount equal
to the outstanding principal amount of the Loan for the Cross-collateralized
Property which is the subject of the Release multiplied by a fraction, the numerator
of which is (A) one hundred fifteen percent (115%) of the Allocated Loan
Amount for the Cross-collateralized Property which is the subject of the Release
or (B) with respect to the Delano Hotel only, one hundred ten percent
(110%) of the Allocated Loan Amount of the Delano Hotel, and the denominator of
which is the original principal amount of the Loan.  Upon the payment of the release price set
forth in clause (A) or (B) above, Lender shall, at the request of and
at the sole cost and expense of Borrower, release its lien from the applicable
Pledged Interest relating to the Cross-collateralized Property which is the
subject of the Release.

 

Section 6.02.  Additional Interest.  Upon any repayment or prepayment of the Loan,
Borrower shall be required to pay to Lender a non-refundable sum (the “Exit Additional
Interest Payment”) on the date of such repayment or prepayment equal to
one-quarter of one percent (0.25%) of the principal amount of the Debt being
repaid or prepaid.  All Exit Additional
Interest Payments shall be deemed to be earned by Lender upon the funding of
the Loan.  Notwithstanding the foregoing,
no Exit Additional Interest Fee shall be due with respect to repayments of the
Loan made (a) in connection with an IPO, (b) from sales proceeds from
the conversion of the Premises to a condominium form of ownership with respect
to which Borrower or Owner shall sell residential condominium units to the public,
which conversion the parties hereto acknowledge may only be done with the
consent of Lender and subject to such conditions as Lender shall, in its sole
and absolute discretion, impose, or (c) in connection with a prepayment
resulting from (i) regularly scheduled amortization payments made pursuant
to the Note, (ii) proceeds of asset sales to bona fide third parties which
are not Affiliates of Borrower, (iii) equity contributions from members of
Borrower or (iv) Additional Financing, so long as any such equity
contributions or Additional Financings are not refinanced through mortgage
financing within 180 days following the date of such equity contribution or the
incurrence of Additional Financings, as applicable.

or such other
address as Borrower or Lender shall hereafter specify by not less than ten (10) days
prior written notice as provided herein; provided, however, that
notwithstanding any provision of this Section to the contrary, such notice
of change of address shall be deemed given only upon actual receipt
thereof.  Rejection or other refusal to
accept or the inability to deliver because of changed addresses of which no
notice was given as herein required shall be deemed to be receipt of the notice,
demand, statement, request or consent.

 

Section 7.02.  Exhibits Incorporated.  The information set forth on the cover
hereof, and the Exhibits annexed hereto, are hereby incorporated herein as a
part of this Agreement with the same effect as if set forth in the body hereof.

 

48

 

Section 7.03.  Severable Provisions.  If any term, covenant or condition of the
Loan Documents including, without limitation, the Note or this Agreement, is
held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect, such Loan Document
shall be construed without such provision.

 

Section 7.04.  Cumulative Rights.  The rights, powers and remedies of Lender
under this Agreement shall be separate, distinct and cumulative and none shall
be given effect to the exclusion of the others. 
No act of Lender shall be construed as an election to proceed under any
one provision herein to the exclusion of any other provision.  Lender shall not be limited exclusively to
the rights and remedies herein stated but shall be entitled, subject to the
terms of this Agreement, to every right and remedy now or hereafter afforded by
law.

 

Section 7.05.  Duplicate Originals.  This Agreement may be executed in any number
of duplicate originals and each such duplicate original shall be deemed to
constitute but one and the same instrument.

 

Section 7.06.  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 specifically and expressly provides 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.

 

Section 7.07.  Joint and Several Liability.  If Borrower consists of more than one Person,
the obligations and liabilities of each such Person hereunder shall be joint
and several.

 

Section 7.08.  No Oral Change.  The terms of this Agreement, together with
the terms of the Note and the other Loan Documents constitute the entire
understanding and agreement of the parties hereto and supersede all prior
agreements, understandings and negotiations between Borrower and Lender with
respect to the Loan.  This Agreement, and
any provisions hereof, may not be modified, amended, waived, extended, changed,
discharged or terminated orally or by any act on the part of Borrower or
Lender, but only by an agreement in writing signed by the party against whom
enforcement of any modification, amendment, waiver, extension, change,
discharge or termination is sought.

 

Section 7.09.  WAIVER OF COUNTERCLAIMS, ETC.  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, AND WAIVES TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY
ACTION OR PROCEEDING BROUGHT BY EITHER PARTY HERETO AGAINST THE OTHER OR IN ANY
COUNTERCLAIM BORROWER MAY BE PERMITTED TO ASSERT HEREUNDER OR WHICH MAY BE
ASSERTED BY LENDER OR ITS AGENTS, AGAINST BORROWER, OR IN ANY MATTERS
WHATSOEVER ARISING OUT OF OR IN ANY WAY CONNECTED WITH THIS AGREEMENT OR THE
DEBT.

 

Section 7.10.  Headings; Construction of Documents, etc.  The headings and captions of various
paragraphs of this Agreement are for convenience of reference only and are not
to be construed as defining or limiting, in any way, the scope or intent of the
provisions hereof.

 

49

 

Borrower acknowledges that it was represented
by competent counsel in connection with the negotiation and drafting of this
Agreement and the other Loan Documents and that neither this Agreement nor the
other Loan Documents shall be subject to the principle of construing the
meaning against the Person who drafted same.

 

Section 7.11.  Sole Discretion of Lender.  Whenever Lender exercises any right given to
it to approve or disapprove, or any arrangement or term is to be satisfactory
to Lender, the decision of Lender to approve or disapprove or to decide that
arrangements or terms are satisfactory or not satisfactory shall be in the sole
discretion of Lender and shall be final and conclusive, except as may be
otherwise specifically provided herein.

 

Section 7.12.  APPLICABLE LAW.  THIS AGREEMENT WAS NEGOTIATED IN THE STATE OF
NEW YORK AND MADE BY BORROWER AND ACCEPTED BY LENDER IN THE STATE OF NEW YORK AND
THE PROCEEDS OF THE NOTE WERE DISBURSED FROM THE STATE OF NEW YORK WHICH STATE
THE PARTIES AGREE HAS A SUBSTANTIAL RELATIONSHIP TO THE PARTIES AND TO THE
UNDERLYING TRANSACTION EMBODIED HEREBY, AND IN ALL RESPECTS, INCLUDING, WITHOUT
LIMITING THE GENERALITY OF THE FOREGOING, MATTERS OF CONSTRUCTION, VALIDITY AND
PERFORMANCE.  THIS AGREEMENT AND THE
OBLIGATIONS ARISING HEREUNDER SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE
WITH, THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK APPLICABLE TO CONTRACTS MADE AND
PERFORMED IN SUCH STATE AND ANY APPLICABLE LAW OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA.

 

Section 7.13.  Actions and Proceedings.  Lender has the right to appear in and defend
any action or proceeding brought with respect to the Collateral in its own name
or, if required by Legal Requirements or, if in Lender’s reasonable judgment,
it is necessary, in the name and on behalf of Borrower, which Lender believes
will adversely affect the Collateral or this Agreement and to bring any action
or proceedings, in its name or in the name and on behalf of Borrower, which
Lender, in its discretion, decides should be brought to protect its interest in
the Note, this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.

 

Section 7.14.  Usury Laws.  This Agreement and the Note are subject to
the express condition, and it is the expressed intent of the parties, that at
no time shall Borrower be obligated or required to pay interest on the
principal balance due under the Note at a rate which could subject the holder
of the Note to either civil or criminal liability as a result of being in
excess of the maximum interest rate which Borrower is permitted by law to
contract or agree to pay.  If by the
terms of this Agreement or the Note, Borrower is at any time required or
obligated to pay interest on the principal balance due under the Note at a rate
in excess of such maximum rate, such rate of interest shall be deemed to be
immediately reduced to such maximum rate and the interest payable shall be
computed at such maximum rate and all prior interest payments in excess of such
maximum rate shall be applied and shall be deemed to have been payments in
reduction of the principal balance of the Note. 
No application to the principal balance of the Note pursuant to this Section shall
give rise to any requirement to pay any prepayment fee or charge of any kind
due hereunder, if any.

 

Section 7.15.  Remedies of Borrower.  In the event that a claim or adjudication is
made

 

50

 

that Lender has acted unreasonably or
unreasonably delayed acting in any case where by law or under the Note, this
Agreement or the Loan Documents, it has an obligation to act reasonably or
promptly, Lender shall not be liable for any monetary damages, and Borrower’s
remedies shall be limited to injunctive relief or declaratory judgment.

 

Section 7.16.  Offsets, Counterclaims and Defenses.  Any assignee of this Agreement and the Note
shall take the same free and clear of all offsets, counterclaims or defenses
which are unrelated to the Note or this Agreement which Borrower may otherwise
have against any assignor of this Agreement and the Note 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 this Agreement or the
Note 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 7.17.  Restoration of Rights.  In case Lender shall have proceeded to
enforce any right under this Agreement and such proceedings shall have been
discontinued or abandoned for any reason or shall have been determined
adversely, then, in every such case, Borrower and Lender shall be restored to
their former positions and rights hereunder with respect to the Collateral
subject to the lien hereof.

 

Section 7.18.  Waiver of Statute of Limitations.  The pleadings of any statute of limitations
as a defense to any and all obligations secured by this Agreement are hereby
waived to the full extent permitted by Legal Requirements.

 

Section 7.19.  Advances.  This Agreement shall cover any and all
advances made pursuant to the Loan Documents, rearrangements and renewals of
the Loan and all extensions in the time of payment thereof, even though such
advances, extensions or renewals be evidenced by new promissory notes or other
instruments hereafter executed and irrespective of whether filed or
recorded.  Likewise, the execution of
this Agreement shall not impair or affect any other security which may be given
to secure the payment of the Loan, and all such additional security shall be
considered as cumulative.  The taking of
additional security, execution of partial releases of the security, or any
extension of time of payment of the Loan shall not diminish the force, effect
or lien of this Agreement and shall not affect or impair the liability of
Borrower and shall not affect or impair the liability of any maker, surety, or
endorser for the payment of the Loan.

 

Section 7.20.  Application of Default Rate Not a Waiver.  Application of the Default Rate shall not be
deemed to constitute a waiver of any Default or Event of Default or any rights
or remedies of Lender under this Agreement, any other Loan Document or
applicable Legal Requirements, or a consent to any extension of time for the
payment or performance of any obligation with respect to which the Default Rate
may be invoked.

 

Section 7.21.  Intervening Lien.  To the fullest extent permitted by law, any
agreement hereafter made pursuant to this Agreement shall be superior to the
rights of the holder of any intervening lien.

 

Section 7.22.  No Joint Venture or Partnership.  Borrower and Lender intend that the
relationship created hereunder be solely that of pledgor and pledgee or
borrower and lender, as

 

51

 

the case may be.  Nothing herein is intended to create a joint
venture or partnership relationship between Borrower and Lender nor to grant
Lender any interest in the Collateral other than that of pledgee or lender.

 

Section 7.23.  Time of the Essence.  Time shall be of the essence in the
performance of all obligations of Borrower hereunder.

 

Section 7.24.  Borrower’s Obligations Absolute.  Borrower acknowledges that Lender and/or
certain Affiliates of Lender are engaged in the business of financing, owning,
operating, leasing, managing, and brokering real estate and in other business
ventures which may be viewed as adverse to or competitive with the business,
prospect, profits, operations or condition (financial or otherwise) of
Borrower.  Except as set forth to the
contrary in the Loan Documents, all sums payable by Borrower hereunder shall be
paid without notice or demand, counterclaim, set-off, deduction or defense and
without abatement, suspension, deferment, diminution or reduction, and the
obligations and liabilities of Borrower hereunder shall in no way be released,
discharged, or otherwise affected (except as expressly provided herein) by
reason of:  (a) any bankruptcy
proceeding relating to Owner, Borrower, any General Partner, or any indemnitor,
or any action taken with respect to this Agreement or any other Loan Document
by any trustee or receiver of Owner, Borrower or any such General Partner or
indemnitor, or by any court, in any such proceeding; (b) any claim which
Borrower has or might have against Lender; (c) any default or failure on
the part of Lender to perform or comply with any of the terms hereof or of any
other agreement with Borrower; or (d) any other occurrence whatsoever,
whether similar or dissimilar to the foregoing, whether or not Borrower shall
have notice or knowledge of any of the foregoing.

 

Section 7.25.  Publicity.  All promotional news releases, publicity or
advertising by Borrower or its Affiliates through any media intended to reach
the general public shall not refer to the Loan Documents or the financing
evidenced by the Loan Documents, or to Lender or to any of its Affiliates
without the prior written approval of Lender or such Affiliate, as applicable,
in each instance, such approval not to be unreasonably withheld or
delayed.  Lender shall be authorized to
provide information relating to the Collateral, the Loan and matters relating
thereto to rating agencies, underwriters, potential securities investors,
auditors, regulatory authorities and to any Persons which may be entitled to
such information by operation of law and may use basic transaction information
(including, without limitation, the name of Borrower, the name and address of
the Premises and the Loan Amount) in press releases or other marketing
materials.

 

Section 7.26.  Securitization Opinions.  In the event the Loan is included as an asset
of a Securitization by Lender or any of its Affiliates, Borrower shall, within fifteen
(15) Business Days after Lender’s written request therefor, at Lender’s sole
cost and expense, deliver opinions in form and substance and delivered by
counsel reasonably acceptable to Lender and the Rating Agency, as may be
reasonably required by Lender and/or the Rating Agency in connection with such
securitization.  Borrower’s failure to
deliver the opinions required hereby within such fifteen (15) Business Day
period shall constitute an “Event of Default” hereunder.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event
shall Borrower be required to deliver a “10b-5 opinion” in connection with any
Securitization.  Notwithstanding the
foregoing, Borrower shall, upon demand, reimburse Lender for up to $10,000 of
the cost incurred by Lender pursuant to the terms of this Section 7.26 and
Lender shall only be obligated to pay reasonable costs and

 

52

 

expenses upon receipt of detailed billing
information containing the description of services rendered, attorneys’ billing
rates, number of hours worked and other information as Lender may reasonably
require.

 

Section 7.27.  Sale of Loan, Participations,
Securitization.  (a) Nothing
contained in this Agreement shall be construed as preventing Lender, at any
time after the date hereof, from selling, pledging, assigning or transferring
the Note and in connection with any such sale, pledge, assignment or transfer
from assigning this Agreement and transferring possession of the Collateral, if
any, in Lender’s possession, to the purchaser of the Note.  Upon any sale, pledge, assignment or transfer
of the Note and upon assignment of this Agreement and a transfer in connection
therewith of possession of the Collateral, if any, in Lender’s possession to
the purchaser of the Note, Lender shall be released and discharged from any
liability or responsibility with respect to the Loan Documents and references
to “Lender” in this Agreement shall, with respect to any matters
thereafter occurring, be deemed to be references to the purchaser of the
Note.  Borrower or any agent of Borrower
acting on its behalf shall maintain at its offices a copy of each notice of a sale,
pledge, assignment or other transfer of the Loan or a portion thereof as a
whole loan delivered to it and a register (the “Register”)
for the recordation of the names and addresses of each Lender and the principal
amount of the Loan or portion thereof owing to each Lender from time to
time.  The entries in the Register shall
be conclusive, in the absence of manifest error, and Borrower may treat each
Person whose name is recorded in the Register as the owner of the Loan or
portion thereof recorded therein, hereunder for all purposes of this
Agreement.  A sale, pledge, assignment or
other transfer of the Loan or a portion thereof as a whole loan, whether or not
evidenced by a Note, shall be effective only upon appropriate entries with
respect thereto being made in the Register (and, if applicable, each Note shall
expressly so provide).  The Register
shall be available for inspection by each Lender at any reasonable time and
from time to time upon reasonable prior notice. 
Borrower hereby appoints Lender as its agent to maintain the Register
and Lender hereby accepts such appointment. 
Lender shall indemnify and hold harmless Borrower for any losses
resulting from Lender’s failure to maintain the Register and no failure by
Lender, as Borrower’s agent (solely for the purposes of maintaining the
Register), shall result in a default hereunder or under any other Loan Document
or otherwise subject Borrower to any liability.

 

(b)           Borrower
acknowledges that Lender may on or after the Closing Date sell and assign
participation interests in and to the Loan, or pledge, hypothecate or encumber,
or sell and assign all or any portion of the Loan, to or with such domestic or
foreign banks, insurance companies, pension funds, trusts or other
institutional lenders or other Persons, parties or investors (including,
without limitation, grantor trusts, owner trusts, special purpose corporations,
real estate investment trusts or other similar or comparable investment
vehicles) as may be selected by Lender in its sole and absolute discretion and
on terms and conditions satisfactory to Lender in its sole and absolute
discretion.  Borrower and all Affiliates
of Borrower shall cooperate in all respects with Lender in connection with the
sale of participation interests in, or the pledge, hypothecation or encumbrance
or sale of all or any portion of, the Loan, and shall, in connection therewith,
at Borrower’s sole cost and expense with respect to the first request made by
Lender following the Closing Date and at Lender’s expense for any additional
requests thereafter, execute and deliver such estoppels, certificates,
instruments and documents as may be reasonably requested by Lender.  Borrower grants to Lender the right to
distribute financial and other information concerning Borrower, the Collateral,
and all other pertinent

 

53

 

information with respect to the Loan to any
Person who has purchased a participation interest in the Loan, or who has
purchased the Loan, or who has made a loan to Lender secured by the Loan or who
has expressed an interest in purchasing a participation interest in the Loan,
or expressed an interest in purchasing the Loan or the making of a loan to
Lender secured by the Loan.  If requested
by Lender, Borrower shall execute and deliver, and shall cause each Affiliate
of Borrower to execute and deliver, at no cost or expense to Borrower, such
documents and instruments as may be necessary to split the Loan into two or
more loans evidenced by separate sets of notes and secured by separate sets of
other related Loan Documents to the full extent required by Lender to
facilitate the sale of participation interests in the Loan or the sale of the
Loan or the making of a loan to Lender secured by the Loan, it being agreed
that (a) any such splitting of the Loan will not adversely affect or
diminish the rights of Borrower as presently set forth herein and in the other
Loan Documents and will not increase the respective obligations and liabilities
of Borrower or any other Person associated or connected with the Loan or the
Collateral, (b) the Loan Documents securing the Loan as so split will have
such priority of lien as may be specified by Lender, and (c) the retained
interest of Lender in the Loan as so split shall be allocated to or among one
or more of such separate loans in a manner specified by Lender in its sole and
absolute discretion.  From and after the
effective date of any assignment of all or any portion of the Loan to any
Person (an “Assignee”) (a) such Assignee shall be a party hereto
and to each of the other Loan Documents to the extent of the applicable
percentage or percentages assigned to such Assignee and, except as otherwise
specified herein, shall succeed to the rights and obligations of Lender
hereunder in respect of such applicable percentage or percentages and (b) Lender
shall relinquish its rights and be released from its obligations hereunder and
under the Loan Documents to the extent of such applicable percentage or
percentages.  The liabilities of Lender
and each of the other Assignees shall be separate and not joint and several.  Neither Lender nor any Assignee shall be
responsible for the obligations of any other Assignee.  Borrower acknowledges that the information
provided by Borrower to Lender may be incorporated into the offering documents
for a Securitization and to the fullest extent permitted, Borrower irrevocably
waives all rights, if any, to prohibit such disclosures including, without
limitation, any right of privacy.  Lender
and each Rating Agency shall be entitled to rely on the information supplied
by, or on behalf of, Borrower and Borrower indemnifies Lender as to any
liabilities, obligations, claims, damages, penalties, causes of action, costs
and expenses, (including, without limitation, reasonable attorney’s fees and
expenses, whether incurred within or outside the judicial process) that arise
out of or are based upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of
any material fact contained in such information or arise out of or are based
upon the omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required
to be stated in such information or necessary in order to make the statements
in such information, or in light of the circumstances under which they were
made, not misleading.

 

(c)           Lender,
at its option, may elect to effect a Securitization by means of the issuance of
certificates of interest therein or notes secured thereby (the “Securities”)
rated by one or more Rating Agencies.  In
such event and upon request by Lender to seek to effect such a Securitization,
Borrower shall promptly thereafter cooperate in all reasonable respects with
Lender in the Securitization including, without limitation, providing such
information as may be requested in connection with the preparation of a private
placement memorandum or registration statement required to privately place or
publicly distribute the Securities in a manner which does not conflict with
federal or state securities laws.

 

54

 

Section 7.28.  Expenses.  Borrower shall reimburse Lender upon receipt
of notice for all reasonable costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’
fees and disbursements) incurred by Lender in connection with (i) the
preparation, negotiation, execution and delivery of the Loan Documents and the
consummation of the transactions contemplated thereby (other than, except as
specifically set forth herein, participations, assignments by Lender or a Securitization);
(ii) Borrower’s, its Affiliates’ and Lender’s ongoing performance under
and compliance with the Loan Documents, including confirming compliance with
environmental and insurance requirements; (iii) unless otherwise set forth
herein, the negotiation, preparation, execution, delivery and administration of
any consents, amendments, waivers or other modifications of or under any Loan
Document and any other documents or matters requested by Lender; (iv) filing
and recording of any Loan Documents; (v) surveys, inspections and
appraisals; (vi) enforcing or preserving any rights, in response to third
party claims or the prosecuting or defending of any action or proceeding or
other litigation, in each case against, under or affecting Borrower, Owner, the
Loan Documents, the Collateral, the Premises, or any other security given for
the Loan; and (vii) enforcing any obligations of or collecting any
payments due from Borrower, or Owner under any Loan Document or with respect to
the Collateral, the Premises or in connection with any refinancing or

bankruptcy proceedings.  Any costs and
expenses due and payable to Lender hereunder which are not paid by Borrower

of Borrower under this Section shall survive the Maturity Date and the

Section 7.29.  Mortgage Loan Defaults.

 

(a)           Without
limiting the generality of the other provisions of this Agreement, and without
waiving or releasing Borrower from any of its obligations hereunder, if there
shall occur any Event of Default under the Mortgage Loan Documents (without
regard to any other defenses or offset rights Owner may have against Mortgage
Lender), Borrower hereby expressly agrees that Lender shall have the immediate
right, without notice to or demand on Borrower or Owner, but shall be under no
obligation:  (i) to pay all or any
part of the Mortgage Loan, and any other sums, that are then due and payable
and to perform any act or take any action on behalf of Owner, as may be
appropriate, to cause all of the terms, covenants and conditions of the
Mortgage Loan Documents on the part of Owner to be performed or observed
thereunder to be promptly performed or observed; and (ii) to pay any other
amounts and take any other action as Lender, in its sole and absolute
discretion, shall deem advisable to protect or preserve the rights and
interests of Lender in the Loan and/or the Collateral.  Lender shall have no obligation to complete
any cure or attempted cure undertaken or commenced by Lender.  All sums so paid and the third party costs
and expenses actually incurred by Lender in exercising rights under this Section (including,
without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ and other professional fees), with
interest at the Default Rate, for the period from the date of demand by Lender
to Borrower for such payments to the date of payment to Lender, shall
constitute a portion of the Debt, shall be secured by this Agreement and shall
be due and payable to Lender within two (2) Business Days following demand
therefor.  In the event that Lender makes
any payment in respect of the Mortgage Loan, Lender shall be subrogated to all
of the rights of Mortgage Lender under the Mortgage Loan Documents against the Premises
and Owner in addition to all other rights Lender may have under the Loan
Documents or applicable law.

 

55

 

(b)           Subject
to the rights of tenants, Borrower hereby grants, and shall cause Owner to
grant, Lender and any Person designated by Lender the right to enter upon the Premises
at any time for the purpose of carrying out the rights granted to Lender under
this Section 7.29.  Borrower shall
not, and shall not cause or permit Owner or any other Person to impede,
interfere with, hinder or delay, any effort or action on the part of Lender to
cure any Event of Default under the Mortgage Loan as permitted by this Section 7.29,
or to otherwise protect or preserve Lender’s interests in the Loan and the
Collateral, including the Premises in accordance with the provisions of this
Agreement and the other Loan Documents.

 

(c)           Borrower
hereby indemnifies Lender from and against all out-of-pocket liabilities,
obligations, losses, damages, penalties, assessments, actions, or causes of
action, judgments, suits, claims, demands, costs, expenses (including, without
limitation, reasonable attorneys’ and other professional fees, whether or not
suit is brought, and settlement costs), and disbursements of any kind or nature
whatsoever which may be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against Lender as a
result of the foregoing actions described in Section 7.29(a) or (b) other
than as a result of gross negligence or willful misconduct of Lender.  Lender shall have no obligation to Borrower,
Owner or any other party to make any such payment or performance.

 

(d)           If
Lender shall receive a copy of any notice of default under the Mortgage Loan
Documents sent by Mortgage Lender to Owner, such notice shall constitute full
protection to Lender for any action taken or omitted to be taken by Lender, in
good faith, in reliance thereon.  As a
material inducement to Lender’s making the Loan, Borrower hereby absolutely and
unconditionally releases and waives all claims against Lender arising out of
Lender’s exercise of its rights and remedies provided in this Section other
than claims arising out of the fraud, illegal acts, gross negligence or willful
misconduct of Lender.

 

Section 7.30.  Discussions With Mortgage Lender; Etc.  In connection with the exercise of its rights
set forth in the Loan Documents, Lender shall have the right at any time to
discuss the Premises, the Mortgage Loan, the Loan or any other matter directly
with Mortgage Lender or Mortgage Lender’s consultants, agents or
representatives without notice to or permission from Borrower, nor shall Lender
have any obligation to disclose such discussions or the contents thereof with
Borrower.

 

Section 7.31.  Independent Approval Rights.  If any action, proposed action or other
decision is consented to or approved by Mortgage Lender, such consent or
approval shall not be binding or controlling on Lender.  Borrower hereby acknowledges and agrees that (a) the
risks of Mortgage Lender in making the Mortgage Loan are different from the
risks of Lender in making the Loan, (b) in determining whether to grant,
deny, withhold or condition any requested consent or approval Mortgage Lender and
Lender may reasonably reach different conclusions, and (c) Lender has an
absolute independent right to grant, deny, withhold or condition any requested
consent or approval based on its own point of view in accordance with the terms
hereof.  Further, the denial by Lender of
a requested consent or approval in accordance with the Loan Documents shall not
create any liability or other obligation of Lender if the denial of such
consent or approval results directly or indirectly in a default under the
Mortgage Loan, and Borrower hereby waives any claim of liability against Lender
arising from any such denial.

 

Section 7.32.  Reinstatement.  This Agreement and each other Loan Document
shall

 

56

 

continue to be effective or be reinstated, as
the case may be, if at any time payment and performance of the Debt or any part
thereof, is, pursuant to applicable law, rescinded or reduced in amount, or
must otherwise be restored or returned by Borrower, whether as a “voidable
preference”, “fraudulent conveyance”, or otherwise, all as though such payment
or performance had not been made.  In the
event that any payment, or any part thereof, is rescinded, reduced, restored or
returned, the Debt shall be reinstated and deemed reduced only by such amount
paid and not so rescinded, reduced, restored or returned.

under the Bankruptcy Code, or any similar state or federal law now or hereafter

As a material inducement for Lender to enter
into the Loan and Security Agreement (“Loan Agreement”) dated June 29, 2005
between MMRDH SENIOR MEZZ HOLDING COMPANY LLC (“Borrower”) and WACHOVIA BANK,
NATIONAL ASSOCIATION (“Lender”), and for valuable consideration, the receipt
and sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, the undersigned, as of the
29th day of June, 2005, hereby consents to the pledge of the Collateral
contained in the Loan Agreement and ratifies all encumbrances and terms
contained therein.

 

The undersigned agrees that, by acceptance of
the Loan Agreement, Lender assumes no obligations with respect to the Pledged
Entities or to the constituent members, partners, or shareholders in the
Pledged Entities and, without the prior written consent of Lender, the
undersigned shall not: (a) terminate or materially amend or modify the
Organizational Documents of the Pledged Entities or consent thereto; or (b) take
any action that would operate to dilute the interest of Borrower in the Pledged
Entities.

 

The undersigned agrees that, upon written
notice from Lender stating that an Event of Default has occurred under the Loan
Agreement, all Distributions, dividends, or other sums payable to Borrower in
connection with the Pledged Entities shall be made payable to and delivered to
Lender.  The undersigned further agrees
that, upon written notice from Lender that it has foreclosed the Loan Agreement
following an Event of Default, Borrower shall be removed as a manager, managing
member or general partner in the Pledged Entity, as applicable, and replaced
with the assignee designated in such notice, which assignee shall be Lender or
its nominee.  In connection therewith,
the undersigned agrees to request (and use reasonable efforts to ensure) that
Lender is provided with a written statement of Borrower’s defaults under the
Organizational Documents and agrees that Lender be entitled to rely on such
statement in determining whether to become a substitute member, shareholder or
partner in the applicable Pledged Entity. 
If Lender so requests, the undersigned covenants and agrees to consent
to the execution of an amendment to the Organizational Documents to reflect any
such assignee’s substitution in place of Borrower, as applicable.

 

The undersigned further consents and agrees
to (a) Borrower’s assignment to Lender for security purposes, of Borrower’s

contained in the Organizational Documents of the Pledged Entities, Lender, its
nominee or any third-party purchaser at a foreclosure sale becoming a member,
partner or shareholder, or a substitute manager, managing member or general
partner, as applicable, in a Pledged Entity, with all of the rights enjoyed by
Borrower prior to such foreclosure.  Any
such foreclosure will not require any further consent of the undersigned or any
other member, shareholder, or partner in the applicable Pledged Entity and will
not cause the dissolution of any LLC or Partnership.

 

The undersigned agrees that neither the
execution and delivery of the Loan Agreement, the enforcement by Lender of any
of its rights thereunder, nor the transfer (or agreement to

 

 

transfer) by
Lender of any of its rights in the Pledged Entities or under the Loan Agreement
shall constitute a default under the Organizational Documents, and the
undersigned expressly waives any rights it may have under the Organizational
Documents as a result of the foregoing. 
The undersigned hereby waives any and all rights under the
Organizational Documents which, whether exercised by the undersigned or not,
would prevent, inhibit or interfere with the granting of a security interest in
the Collateral to Lender, the foreclosure of such security interest in the
Collateral by Lender or the full realization by Lender of any of its other
rights under the Loan Agreement.

 

The undersigned acknowledges that Lender is
materially relying on the undersigned’s execution of this Consent and Waiver in
entering into the Loan Agreement and the other Loan Documents.

 

All capitalized terms not otherwise defined
herein shall have the meaning set forth in the Loan Agreement.

 

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the undersigned has duly
executed this consent and waiver as of this 29th day of June, 2005.

and the observance and performance by Borrower of all of the terms, covenants
and provisions of the Note on the part of Borrower to be observed or performed,
a security interest in all of Borrower’s right, title and interest in the

agrees with Lender as follows:

 

ARTICLE I.  DEFINITIONS

 

Section 1.01.  Defined Terms.  Capitalized terms used herein that are not
otherwise defined shall have the respective meanings ascribed thereto in the
definitions list on Exhibit C attached hereto and if not defined
therein shall have the meaning set forth in the Mortgage.

 

ARTICLE II.  REPRESENTATIONS, COVENANTS AND 

WARRANTIES OF BORROWER

 

Section 2.01.  Pledge of Collateral.  (a)  As security for the due and
punctual payment and performance of all of the Debt (whether at stated
maturity, by required prepayment, declaration, acceleration, demand or
otherwise, including, without limitation, the payment of amounts that would
become due but for the operation of the automatic stay under Section 362(a) of
the Bankruptcy Code, 11 U.S.C. §362(a), whether allowed or allowable as claims),
Borrower hereby (i) pledges, transfers, hypothecates and assigns to Lender
the Collateral in which Borrower now or hereafter has rights, and (ii) grants
to Lender a continuing first priority lien on and security interest in and to all
of the Borrower’s rights, whether now owned or hereafter acquired, in the
Collateral.  The inclusion of Proceeds in
the definition of “Collateral” does not authorize Borrower to sell, dispose of
or otherwise use the Collateral in any manner not specifically authorized
hereby.  Lender is hereby
authorized:  (i) to transfer to the
account of Lender or its designee any Pledged Interests whether in the
possession of, or registered in the name of, The Depository Trust Company (the “DTC”)
or other clearing corporation or held otherwise; (ii) to transfer to the
account of Lender or its designee with any Federal Reserve Bank any Pledged
Interests held in book entry form with any such Federal Reserve Bank; and (iii) to
exchange certificates representing or evidencing the Pledged Interests for
certificates of smaller or larger denominations.  To the extent that the Pledged Interests have
not already been transferred to Lender or its designee in a manner sufficient
to perfect Lender’s security interest therein, Borrower shall promptly deliver
or cause to be delivered to Lender all certificates or instruments evidencing
the Pledged Interests, together with duly executed transfer powers or other
appropriate endorsements.  With respect
to any Collateral in the possession of or registered in the name of a custodian
bank or nominee therefor, or any Collateral represented by entries on the books
of any securities intermediary, Borrower agrees to cause such custodian bank or
nominee either to enter into an agreement with Lender satisfactory to Lender in
form and content confirming that the Collateral is held for the account of
Lender, or at the discretion of Lender and 

 

3

 

subject to the written
instructions of Lender, deliver any such Collateral to Lender and/or cause any
such Collateral to be put in bearer form, registered in the name of Lender or
its nominee, or transferred to the account of Lender with any Federal Reserve
Bank, DTC, or other clearing corporation. 
With respect to any Collateral held in an account maintained by Lender
as securities intermediary, Borrower hereby gives notice to Lender of Lender’s
security interest in such Collateral.  In
addition, Borrower agrees that in the event that any Collateral is held by
Lender in a fiduciary capacity for or on behalf of Borrower as the beneficial
owner thereof, any agreements executed by Borrower in connection therewith are
hereby amended to authorize and direct the pledge, hypothecation and/or
transfer of such Collateral to Lender, as lender, by Lender, as fiduciary, in
accordance with the terms, covenants and conditions of this Agreement.  The rights granted to Lender pursuant to this
Agreement are in addition to the rights granted to Lender pursuant to any such
agreements.  In case of conflict between
the provisions of this Agreement and those of any other such agreement, the
provisions hereof shall prevail.  In the
event that Borrower purchases or otherwise acquires or obtains any additional
Equity Interests in any Corporation, LLC or Partnership, or any rights, or
options, subscriptions or warrants to acquire such Equity Interests, all such
Equity Interests, rights, options, subscriptions or warrants shall
automatically be deemed to be a part of the Collateral pledged by
Borrower.  If any such Equity Interests
are to be evidenced by a certificate, such additional certificates shall be
promptly delivered to Lender, together with Powers related thereto, or other
instruments appropriate to a certificate representing an Equity Interest, duly
executed in blank.  Borrower shall
deliver to Lender all subscriptions, warrants, options and all such other rights,
and upon delivery to Lender, Lender shall hold such subscriptions, warrants,
options and other rights as additional collateral pledged to secure the Debt;
provided, however, that if Lender determines, in its sole discretion, that the
value of any such subscriptions, warrants, options or other rights shall
terminate, expire or be materially reduced in value by holding the same as
Collateral, Lender shall have the right (but not the obligation), in its sole
discretion, to sell or exercise the same, and if exercised, then the monies
disbursed by Lender in connection therewith shall become part of the Debt and
all of the stock, securities, evidences of indebtedness and other items so
acquired shall be titled in the name of Borrower and shall become part of the
Collateral.

 

(b)           Borrower
hereby authorizes Lender to file any financing statements, and amendments to
financing statements, in any jurisdictions and with any filing offices as
Lender may determine, in its sole discretion, are necessary or advisable to
perfect the security interest granted to Lender hereunder. Such financing
statements may describe the collateral in the same manner as described in this
Agreement or may contain an indication or description of collateral that
describes such property in any other manner Lender so chooses, including,
without limitation, describing such property as “all assets, whether now owned
or hereafter acquired” or “all personal property, whether now owned or
hereafter acquired”.

assume, guarantee or hold themselves out to be responsible for the liabilities
or the decisions or actions respecting the daily business affairs of their

time since its formation entered into and are not a party to, and, will not
enter into or be a party to, any transaction with its Affiliates, members,
partners or shareholders, as applicable, or any Affiliates thereof except in
the ordinary course of business of Borrower, on terms which are no less
favorable to Borrower than would be obtained in a comparable arm’s length
transaction with an unrelated third party.

 

(xv)         If Borrower is a limited
partnership or a limited liability company, the General Partner shall be a
corporation or limited liability company whose sole asset is its ownership
interests in Borrower and the General Partner will at all times comply, and

Director if such individual is at the time of initial appointment, or at any
time while serving as the Independent Director, an Independent Director of a
Single Purpose Entity Affiliated with Borrower or General Partner if such
individual is an Independent Director provided by a nationally-recognized company
that provides professional independent directors.

 

(xvii)       Borrower and, if
applicable, each General Partner, shall not cause or permit the board of
directors or board of managers or other governing board or body, as applicable,
of Borrower or, if applicable, each General Partner, to take any action which,
under the terms of any certificate of incorporation, by-laws, certificate of
formation, operating agreement or articles of organization with respect to any
common stock, requires a vote of the board of directors of Borrower, or, if
applicable, the General Partner, unless at the time of such action there shall
be at least two (2) members, with respect to Borrower, who is or are
Independent Directors.

 

(xviii)      Borrower and, if applicable,
each General Partner shall pay the salaries of their own employees and maintain

with respect to Borrower in that certain opinion letter relating to substantive
non-consolidation dated the date hereof (the “Insolvency Opinion”)
delivered in connection with the Loan shall be true and correct in all
respects.

 

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 2.02(g),
provided Borrower is a Delaware single member limited liability company which
satisfies the single purpose bankruptcy remote entity requirements of each
Rating Agency for a single member limited liability company, the foregoing
provisions of this Section 2.02(g) shall not apply to the General
Partner.

 

(h)           No
Defaults.  No Default or Event of
Default has occurred and is continuing or would occur as a result of the
consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Loan Documents.  Borrower is not in default in the payment or
performance of any of its Contractual Obligations in any respect.

 

9

 

(i)            Consents
and Approvals.  Borrower and, if
applicable, each General Partner, have obtained or made all necessary (i) consents,
approvals and authorizations, and registrations and filings of or with all
Governmental Authorities and (ii) consents, approvals, waivers and
notifications of partners, stockholders, members, creditors, lessors and other
nongovernmental Persons, in each case, which are required to be obtained or
made by Borrower or, if applicable, the General Partner, in connection with the
execution and delivery of, and the performance by Borrower of its obligations
under, the Loan Documents.

 

(j)            Investment
Company Act Status, etc.  Borrower is
not (i) an “investment company,” or a company “controlled” by an “investment
company,” as such terms are defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940, as
amended, (ii) a “holding company” or a “subsidiary company” of a “holding
company” or an “affiliate” of either a “holding company” or a “subsidiary
company” within the meaning of the Public Utility Holding Company Act of 1935,
as amended, or (iii) subject to any other federal or state law or
regulation which purports to restrict or regulate its ability to borrow money.

 

(k)           Compliance
with Law.  Borrower is and shall
remain in compliance in all material respects with all Legal Requirements to
which it or the Collateral are subject, including, without limitation, ERISA.

 

(l)            Transaction
Brokerage Fees.  Borrower has not
dealt with any financial advisors, brokers, underwriters, placement agents,
agents or finders in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement
except for the Carlton Group.  Borrower
hereby agrees to indemnify and hold Lender harmless for, from and against any
and all claims, liabilities, costs and expenses of any kind in any way relating
to or arising from (i) a claim by any Person that such Person acted on
behalf of Borrower in connection with the transactions contemplated herein or (ii) any
breach of the foregoing representation. 
The provisions of this subsection (l) shall survive the repayment
of the Debt.

 

(m)          Federal
Reserve Regulations.  No part of the
proceeds of the Loan will be used for the purpose of “purchasing” or “carrying”
any “margin stock” within the meaning of Regulations T, U or X of the Board of
Governors of the Federal Reserve System or for any other purpose which would be
inconsistent with such Regulations T, U or X or any other Regulations of such
Board of Governors, or for any purposes prohibited by Legal Requirements or by
the terms and conditions of the Loan Documents.

 

(n)           Pending
Litigation.  There are no actions,
suits or proceedings pending or, to the best knowledge of Borrower, threatened
against or affecting Borrower, the Premises or the Collateral in any court or
before any Governmental Authority which if adversely determined either
individually or collectively has or is reasonably likely to have a Material
Adverse Effect.

 

(o)           Solvency;
No Bankruptcy.  Borrower and, if
applicable, the General Partner, (i) is and has at all times been Solvent
and will remain Solvent immediately upon the consummation of the transactions
contemplated by the Loan Documents and (ii) is free from bankruptcy,
reorganization or arrangement proceedings or a general assignment for the
benefit of creditors 

 

10

 

and is not contemplating the filing of a
petition under any state or federal bankruptcy or insolvency laws or the
liquidation of all or a major portion of such Person’s assets or property and
Borrower has no knowledge of any Person contemplating the filing of any such
petition against it or, if applicable, the General Partner.  None of the transactions contemplated hereby
will be or have been made with an intent to hinder, delay or defraud any
present or future creditors of Borrower and Borrower has received reasonably
equivalent value in exchange for its obligations under the Loan Documents.  Borrower’s assets do not, and immediately
upon consummation of the transaction contemplated in the Loan Documents will
not, constitute unreasonably small capital to carry out its business as presently
conducted or as proposed to be conducted. 
Borrower does not intend to, nor believes that it will, incur debts and
liabilities beyond its ability to pay such debts as they may mature.

 

(p)           Use
of Proceeds.  The proceeds of the
Loan shall be applied by Borrower to, inter  alia, (i) satisfy
certain loans presently encumbering all or a part of the Collateral and (ii) pay
certain transaction costs incurred by Borrower in connection with the
Loan.  No portion of the proceeds of the
Loan will be used for family, personal, agricultural or household use.

 

(q)           Tax
Filings.  Borrower and, if
applicable, each General Partner, have filed all federal, state and local tax
returns required to be filed and have paid or made adequate provision for the
payment of all federal, state and local taxes, charges and assessments payable
by Borrower and, if applicable, the General Partners.  Borrower and, if applicable, the General
Partners, believe that their respective tax returns properly reflect the income
and taxes of Borrower and said General Partner, if any, for the periods covered
thereby, subject only to reasonable adjustments required by the Internal
Revenue Service or other applicable tax authority upon audit.

 

(r)            Not
Foreign Person.  Borrower is not a “foreign
person” within the meaning of §1445(f)(3) of the Code.

 

(s)           ERISA.
 (i) The
assets of Borrower are not and will not become treated as “plan assets”,
whether by operation of law or under regulations promulgated under ERISA.  Each Plan and Welfare Plan, and, to the knowledge
of Borrower, each Multiemployer Plan, is in compliance in all material respects
with, and has been administered in all material respects in compliance with,
its terms and the applicable provisions of ERISA, the Code and any other
applicable Legal Requirement, and no event or condition has occurred and is
continuing as to which Borrower would be under an obligation to furnish a
report to Lender under clause (ii)(A) of this Section.  Other than an application for a favorable
determination letter with respect to a Plan, there are no pending issues or
claims before the Internal Revenue Service, the United States Department of
Labor or any court of competent jurisdiction related to any Plan or Welfare
Plan under which Borrower or any ERISA Affiliate, directly or indirectly
(through an indemnification agreement or otherwise), could be subject to any
material risk of liability under Section 409 or 502(i) of ERISA or Section 4975
of the Code.  No Welfare Plan, other than
a Multiemployer Plan, provides or will provide benefits, including, without
limitation, death or medical benefits (whether or not insured) with respect to
any current or former employee of Borrower or any ERISA Affiliate beyond his or
her retirement or other termination of service 

 

11

 

other than (A) coverage mandated by

commitment not reflected in such financial statements delivered to Lender.  Since the date of the last financial
statements delivered by Borrower to Lender, except as otherwise disclosed in
such financial statements or notes thereto, there has been no change in the

lien hereof upon the Collateral.  Without
limiting the generality of the foregoing, Borrower will:  (i) if any Collateral shall be evidenced
by a promissory note or other instrument or chattel paper, deliver and pledge
to Lender hereunder such note or instrument or chattel paper duly indorsed and
accompanied by duly executed instruments of transfer or assignment, all in form
and substance satisfactory to Lender; (ii) execute or authenticate and

the purpose of protecting, perfecting, preserving and realizing upon the
interests granted pursuant to this Agreement and to effect the intent hereof,
all as fully and effectually as Borrower might or could do; and Borrower hereby
ratifies all that Lender shall lawfully do or cause to be done by virtue
hereof.  Upon receipt of an affidavit of
an officer of Lender as to the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of the
Note or any other Loan Document which is not of public record, and, in the case
of any such mutilation, upon surrender and cancellation of such Note or other
applicable Loan Document, Borrower will issue, in lieu thereof, a replacement
Note or other applicable Loan Document, dated the date of such lost, stolen,
destroyed or mutilated Note or other Loan Document in the same principal amount
thereof and otherwise of like tenor.

 

Section 2.04.  Recording of Agreement, etc.  Borrower forthwith upon the execution and
delivery of this Agreement and thereafter, from time to time, will, at the
request of Lender, cause this Agreement, and any security instrument creating a
lien or security interest or evidencing the lien hereof upon the Collateral and
each instrument of further assurance to be filed, registered or recorded in
such manner and in such places as may be required by any present or future law
in order to publish notice of and fully protect the lien or security interest
hereof upon, and the interest of Lender in, the Collateral.  Borrower will pay all filing, registration or
recording fees, and all expenses incident to the preparation, execution and
acknowledgment of this Agreement, any additional security instrument with
respect to the Collateral and any instrument of further assurance, and all
federal, state, county and municipal, taxes, duties, imposts, assessments and

therein or in which it becomes necessary to defend or uphold the lien of this
Agreement or any other Loan Document, Borrower shall, on demand, reimburse
Lender for all expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’

event or circumstance.  Borrower shall at

interest.

 

Section 2.07.  Litigation.  Borrower will give prompt written notice to
Lender of any litigation or governmental proceedings pending or threatened (in

Section 2.09.  Budget.  Borrower shall submit to Lender for Lender’s
written approval an annual budget (the “Annual Budget”) not later than fifteen

to Lender setting forth in reasonable detail budgeted monthly operating income
and monthly operating capital and other expenses for the Premises.  Each Annual Budget shall contain, among other
things, management fees, third party service fees, and other expenses as
Borrower may reasonably determine. 
Lender shall have the right to approve such Annual Budget which approval
shall not be unreasonably withheld, and in the event that Lender objects to the

objections, revise such Annual Budget and resubmit the same to Lender.  Lender shall advise Borrower of any
objections to such revised Annual Budget within ten (10) days after
receipt thereof (and deliver to Borrower a reasonably detailed description of

process described herein until Lender approves an Annual Budget, provided,
however, that if Lender shall not advise Borrower of its objections to any
proposed Annual

Budget within the applicable
time period set forth in this Section, then such proposed Annual Budget shall
be deemed approved by Lender.  Until such
time that Lender approves a proposed Annual Budget, the most recently Approved
Annual Budget shall apply; provided that, such Approved Annual Budget shall be
adjusted to reflect actual increases in Basic Carrying Costs (as defined in the
Mortgage) and utilities expenses.  In the
event that Owner must incur an Extraordinary Expense (as defined in the
Mortgage), then Borrower shall promptly deliver to Lender a reasonably detailed
explanation of such proposed Extraordinary Expense for Lender’s approval, which
approval may be granted or denied in Lender’s sole and absolute discretion.

and shall not cause or permit Owner or Senior Mezz Borrower to, enter into any
consensual sale or other similar transaction with respect to the Premises or impair

portion thereof or any interest therein.

Junior Mezz Loan, second, to prepay the Loan and third, to prepay the Senior
Mezz Loan until an amount of not less than $50,000,000 in the aggregate has

Loan Assumption, a non-refundable assumption fee in an amount equal to one
percent (1%) of the then outstanding Loan Amount for each Proposed Loan
Assumption, together with all out-of-pocket costs and expenses, including,
without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees, incurred by Lender in
connection with the Proposed Loan Assumption, provided, however, that no such
assumption fee shall be required in connection with a Transfer effected in
connection with an IPO (but Borrower shall be required to pay all out-of-pocket
costs and expenses of Lender);

 

(v)           In
the event the applicable Transfer will result in a New Borrower owning the

(vii)         In
the event the applicable Transfer will result in a New Borrower owning the

endorsements or certificates and other similar materials as Lender may deem
necessary at the time of the Proposed Loan Assumption, all in form and
substance satisfactory to Lender;

expense to Lender, a release of Lender, its officers, directors, employees and
agents, from all claims and liability relating to the transactions evidenced by
the Loan Documents, through and including the date of the closing of the
Proposed Loan Assumption, which agreement shall be in form and substance
satisfactory to Lender and shall be binding upon New Borrower;

 

(ix)           In

events occurring or obligations arising prior to or simultaneously with the
closing of such Proposed Loan Assumption, and Borrower executes, without any
cost or 

 

22

Lender, such documents and agreements as Lender shall reasonably require to
evidence and effectuate the ratification of each such guaranty agreement,

by Lender in its sole and absolute discretion assumes the obligations of the
current Guarantor under its guaranty and New Borrower or such party associated
with New Borrower, as applicable, executes, without any cost or expense to
Lender, a new guaranty in similar form and substance to the existing guaranty
and otherwise satisfactory to Lender, then Lender shall release the current
Guarantor from all obligations arising under its guaranty after the closing of
such Proposed Loan Assumption; and

 

(xi)           In
the event the applicable Transfer will result in a New Borrower owning the

(a)  Borrower shall cause Owner to comply with all of the terms, covenants
and conditions set forth in the Mortgage Loan Documents, notwithstanding any

the extent such term, covenants and conditions require any consents, approvals
or waivers by Mortgage Lender, Lender shall have the same rights to consent,
approve or waive.  The provisions of

conditions, or (y) any transaction which is motivated 

 

24

 

by an intent to evade this Agreement; or

 

(e)           breach
any of the covenants or obligations of the Corporations, LLCs or Partnerships
pursuant to this Agreement.

 

Section 2.18.  Conduct of Operations.  To the extent that such matters are within
the control of Borrower pursuant to the terms of the Organizational Documents
and applicable laws, Borrower shall cause the Corporations, LLCs and
Partnerships to conduct their operations and to manage, protect and preserve

receive any and all regular Distributions and dividends paid in cash and in the

other rights with respect to the Equity Interests as long as no vote shall be
cast, or right exercised or other action taken which would, directly or
indirectly, materially impair the value of any Collateral or which would be
inconsistent with or result in a default under this Agreement or any of the
other Loan Documents.  Upon the receipt
of a written request from Borrower, Lender shall execute and deliver (or cause
to be executed and delivered) to Borrower all such proxies and other
instruments as Borrower may reasonably request for the purpose of enabling
Borrower to exercise the voting and other rights which it is entitled to
exercise and to receive the dividends or interest payments which it is
authorized to receive and retain pursuant to this Agreement.  Upon the occurrence and during the
continuance of an Event of Default, the aforesaid rights shall immediately and
automatically vest in Lender.

 

(b)           If
Borrower shall receive, by virtue of Borrower’s being or having been an owner
of any Equity Interest, (i) any Distributions or dividends payable in cash
(except such Distributions and dividends permitted to be retained by Borrower
pursuant to sub-section (a) above) or in securities or other
property, or (ii) any Distributions or dividends in connection with a
partial or total liquidation or dissolution or a reclassification, increase or
reduction of capital, capital surplus or paid-in capital, Borrower shall
receive the same in trust for Lender, segregate the same from its other assets
and promptly deliver the same to Lender in the exact form received, with any
necessary endorsement and/or appropriate powers or other instruments of
assignment or conveyance, to be held by Lender as Collateral pursuant to this
Agreement.

 

Section 2.20.  Admission of New Equity.  Borrower will not agree to admit any new or
substitute shareholders, members or partners into the Corporations, LLCs or
Partnerships or transfer its interests in the Corporations, LLCs or
Partnerships unless such new shareholder, member or partner executes and
delivers, and agrees to be bound by, an agreement, in form and content
substantially identical to this Agreement, pursuant to which such new

or Partnerships to Lender and such admission is otherwise in accordance with
the terms of the applicable Organizational Documents and the Loan Documents.

shall be promptly delivered to Lender, in the same form as received, with the
addition only of such endorsements and assignments as may be necessary to
transfer title to Lender, and pending such delivery, such Proceeds shall be
held in trust for Lender; and such Proceeds shall be applied to the Debt
secured hereby pursuant to the terms of the Loan Agreement.

 

Section 2.22.  Admission of Lender As Shareholder,
Member, Partner.  In the event that
Lender forecloses on the Collateral, notwithstanding anything to the contrary
in the Organizational Documents, Lender shall automatically be admitted as a
shareholder, member or partner of the Corporations, LLCs or Partnerships,
respectively, and shall be entitled to receive all benefits and exercise all
rights in connection therewith pursuant to the Organizational Documents;
provided, however, that Lender shall have no liability for matters in connection
with the Equity Interests arising or occurring, directly or indirectly, prior
to Lender’s becoming a shareholder, member or partner of the Corporations, LLCs
or Partnerships.

 

Section 2.23.  Purchase of Mortgage Loan, Etc.  (a)  Neither Borrower nor any Affiliate

directly or indirectly, acquire or agree to acquire, obtain, purchase or
control the Mortgage Loan, or any portion thereof or any interest therein, or
any direct or indirect ownership interest in the holder of, or participant in,
the Mortgage Loan in any manner whatsoever. 
If, solely by operation of applicable subrogation law, Borrower or any
Affiliate thereof shall be in breach of or fail to comply with the foregoing,
then such breach or failure shall not be an Event of Default provided
that Borrower (a) shall immediately upon obtaining knowledge thereof
notify Lender of such failure or breach, and (b) shall cause Borrower and
Affiliates thereof acquiring any interest in the Mortgage Loan Documents (i) not
to enforce the Mortgage Loan Documents, and (ii) upon the request of

in the holder of, or participant in, the Senior Mezz Loan in any manner
whatsoever.  If, solely by operation of

deed-in-lieu or consensual foreclosure with or for the benefit of Mortgage
Lender or any of Mortgage Lender’s Affiliates or designees.  Without the express prior written consent of
Lender, Borrower shall not, and shall not cause or permit Owner to, enter into
any consensual foreclosure or other similar transaction, impair or otherwise
adversely affect the interests of Lender in the Collateral or any portion
thereof or any interest therein.

 

Section 2.25.  Intercreditor Agreement.  Borrower acknowledges and agrees that Lender,
Senior Mezz Lender, Junior Mezz Lender and Mortgage Lender have entered into an
intercreditor agreement regarding their respective rights under the Mortgage
Loan and Loan (the “Intercreditor Agreement”).  Borrower acknowledges and agrees that:  (a) no Person other than Lender, Senior
Mezzanine Lender, Junior Mezzanine Lender and Mortgage Lender has any rights
whatsoever, direct or indirect, beneficial or otherwise, under the
Intercreditor Agreement and Borrower is not a third party beneficiary thereof; (b) Lender,
Senior Mezzanine Lender, Junior Mezzanine Lender and Mortgage Lender may amend,
modify, cancel, terminate, supplement or waive the Intercreditor Agreement at
any time without notice to, or the consent of Borrower, Owner or any other
Person, and (c) except as expressly set forth in this Agreement, any
restriction or other agreement between Lender, Senior Mezzanine Lender, Junior
Mezzanine Lender and Mortgage Lender set forth in the Intercreditor Agreement
is personal between Lender, Senior Mezzanine Lender, Junior Mezzanine Lender and
Mortgage Lender and, as between Lender, on the one hand, and Borrower, on the
other hand, no such agreement or restriction will be deemed to benefit or
otherwise modify any of the rights of Lender under the Loan Documents.

 

Section 2.26.  Payment of Impositions.  Borrower shall pay and discharge all taxes
now or hereafter imposed on it, or its income or profits, on any of its
property or upon the liens provided for herein prior to the date on which
penalties attach thereto; provided that Borrower shall have the right to
contest the validity or amount of any such tax in good faith and by proper
proceedings.  Borrower shall promptly pay
any valid, final judgment enforcing any such tax and cause the same to be
satisfied of record.

 

Section 2.27.  Central Cash Management.  (a)  All amounts paid by the issuer of
the Rate Cap Agreement (the “Counterparty”) to Borrower or Lender,
together with all rents, issues, profits, insurance proceeds, condemnation
proceeds, refinancing proceeds and all other sums received with respect to the
Premises after all sums which are then due and payable have been paid to
Mortgage Lender pursuant to the terms of the Mortgage Loan Documents and to
Senior Mezz Lender pursuant to the terms of the Senior Mezz Loan Agreement (collectively,
“Remaining Rents”), shall be paid by federal wire transfer or automatic
clearing house funds (“ACH”) to Lender and shall be deposited
immediately into the Lockbox Account (as defined below).  Lender has established the Lockbox Account in
the name of Lender as secured party.  The
Lockbox Account shall be under the sole dominion and control of Lender.  The Lockbox 

 

27

 

Account shall have a
sub-account on a ledger basis entitled the “Debt Service Payment Account” (the “Debt
Service Sub-Account” and together with the other accounts now or hereafter
required to be established pursuant to this Section 2.27, collectively,
the “Accounts”) to which certain funds shall be allocated and from which
disbursements shall be made pursuant to the terms of the Lockbox
Agreement.  Borrower hereby irrevocably
directs and authorizes Lender to withdraw funds from the Lockbox Account, all
in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Lockbox Agreement.  Borrower shall have no right of withdrawal in
respect of the Lockbox Account.  Each
transfer of funds to be made hereunder shall be made only to the extent that
funds are on deposit in the Lockbox Account, and Lender shall have no
responsibility to make additional funds available in the event that funds on
deposit are insufficient.  Borrower shall
enter into or shall cause Owner to enter into a substitute cash management
agreement and related lockbox agreement (collectively, the “Substitute CMA
Agreements”) with substantially the same terms as the agreements entered
into as of the date hereof in connection with the Mortgage Loan as a condition
to the satisfaction of the Mortgage Loan or if Mortgage Lender is not requiring
that sums be deposited into any Sub-Accounts or Escrow Accounts (each as defined in the Mortgage).  Such substitute agreements shall provide that
all Remaining Rents shall be deposited into the Lockbox Account for
disbursement in accordance with the terms of the Substitute CMA Agreements, the
Lockbox Agreement (as amended to conform with the Substitute CMA Agreements)
and this Agreement.  Additionally, on or
before the Closing Date, Borrower shall establish or cause Owner to establish
such escrow and reserve accounts and deposit such amounts into such accounts as
required pursuant to the terms of the Mortgage Loan Documents.  After the occurrence and during the
continuance of an Event of Default, the funds on deposit in the Lockbox
Account, and all other funds received by Lender in respect of the Loan, shall
be disbursed and applied in such order and such manner as Lender shall elect in
its sole discretion.  If Borrower shall
receive any Remaining Rents other than in accordance with this Agreement,
Borrower shall hold all such payments in trust for Lender, will not co-mingle
such payments with other funds of Borrower, and will immediately pay and
deliver in kind, all such payments directly to Lender for application by Lender
in accordance with this Agreement.

 

(b)           Borrower
shall maintain the Rate Cap Agreement at all times during the term of the Loan
and pay all fees, charges and expenses incurred in connection therewith.  Borrower shall comply with all of its
obligations under the terms of the Rate Cap Agreement.  All amounts paid by the Counterparty to
Borrower or Lender shall be deposited immediately into the Lockbox
Account.  Borrower shall take all actions
reasonably requested by Lender to enforce Lender’s rights under the Rate Cap
Agreement in the event of a default by the Counterparty.  In the event that (a) the long-term
unsecured debt obligations of the Counterparty are downgraded by the Rating
Agency below “A+” or its equivalent or (b) the Counterparty shall default
in any of its obligations under the Rate Cap Agreement, Borrower shall, at the
request of Lender, promptly but in all events within five (5) Business
Days, replace the Rate Cap Agreement with an agreement having identical payment
terms and maturity as the Rate Cap Agreement and which is otherwise in form and
substance substantially similar to the Rate Cap Agreement and otherwise
acceptable to Lender with a cap provider, the long-term unsecured debt of which
is rated at least “AA-” (or its equivalent) by each Rating Agency, or which
will allow each Rating Agency to reaffirm their then current ratings of all
rated certificates issued in connection with the 

 

28

 

Securitization.  In the event that Borrower fails to maintain
the Rate Cap Agreement as provided in this Section, Lender may purchase the
Rate Cap Agreement and the cost incurred by Lender in connection therewith
shall be paid by Borrower to Lender with interest thereon at the Default Rate
from the date such cost is incurred until such cost is paid by Borrower to
Lender.  On or prior to the Payment Date
in June, 2007, Borrower shall deliver to Lender a replacement Rate Cap
Agreement with a term expiring not earlier than the Maturity Date and otherwise
in form and substance acceptable to Lender which is issued by a Counterparty
having a long-term unsecured debt rating of “AA-” (or its equivalent) or better
from each Rating Agency (the “Replacement Rate Cap Agreement”).

 

(c)           Subject
to the rights of Senior Mezz Lender, at any time that sums are not being
deposited into the Sub-Accounts or Escrow Accounts pursuant to the terms of the
Mortgage, Borrower shall establish and maintain one or more sub-accounts of the
Lockbox Account into which Remaining Rents shall be deposited for the purposes
of paying Basic Carrying Costs, Recurring Replacement Expenditures and
Operating Expenses (each as defined in the Mortgage).  In connection therewith, Borrower and Lender
shall modify the Lockbox Agreement to provide that, if sums are required to be
deposited into the Lockbox Account pursuant to this Section 2.27(c), such
funds shall be allocated in the order of priority set forth in Section 5.05
of the Mortgage and Borrower hereby irrevocably appoints Lender as its
attorney-in-fact, coupled with an interest, to execute any such amendment to
the Lockbox Agreement.  The amounts to be
deposited in such sub-accounts shall equal the amounts required to be deposited
in the Sub-Accounts and Escrow Accounts pursuant to the terms of the Mortgage (as
in effect on the Closing Date or as amended with Lender’s approval) and sums
deposited into such sub-accounts may be released on the same terms and
conditions as set forth in the Mortgage (as in effect on the Closing Date or as
amended with Lender’s approval).

 

(d)           Borrower
hereby agrees for the benefit of itself, Senior Mezz Borrower and Owner that
all payments actually received by Lender shall be deemed payments to Borrower
by Senior Mezz Borrower and Owner. 
Lender shall apply any and all such payments actually received by Lender
for application in accordance with this Agreement.  After payment of all sums due and payable
with respect to the Loan, Lender shall return to Borrower that portion of any
payments actually received by Lender from Borrower, Senior Mezz Borrower or
Owner which is required to be paid to Borrower pursuant to the Loan Documents.

 

Section 2.28.  Certain Additional Rights of Lender.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary
which may be contained in this Agreement, Lender shall have:

 

(a)           the
right to routinely consult on a regular basis (no less frequently than

pursuant to the Management Agreement which will continue to be paid as long as
Manager is managing the Premises and is not in default pursuant to its Management
Agreement;

 

(d)           the
right, without restricting any other rights of Lender under this Agreement

(e)           the
right, without restricting any other rights of Lender under this Agreement
(including any similar right), in the event of an Event of Default, to vote the

request of Borrower in advance for this purpose; and

 

(f)            the

interests in Lender.

Senior Mezz Lender); or

 

(c)           any

applicable, of not less than “A” (or its equivalent), or such lower claims
paying ability rating and/or financial strength rating, as applicable, as
Lender shall, in its reasonable discretion (taking into account then current Rating
Agency guidelines), consent to, from a Rating Agency (one of which after a
Securitization in which Standard & Poor’s rates any securities issued
in connection with such Securitization, shall be Standard & Poor’s) or
by a syndicate of insurers through which at least 90% of the coverage is with
carriers having claims-paying ability or financial strength ratings of “A” (or
its equivalent) from the Ratings Agencies, provided that all members of the
syndicate shall have claims-paying ability ratings and/or financial strength
ratings, as applicable, of not less than “A-” (or its equivalent) from the
Ratings Agencies and Borrower shall cause Owner to carry all such insurance
(whether or not the Mortgage Loan is outstanding) for so long as any portion of
the Debt remains outstanding.  Notwithstanding
the foregoing, Lender approves (i) Continental Casualty Company, (ii) RSUI
Indemnity Company, and (iii) Fidelity National Insurance Company as
insurers, provided that throughout the term of the Loan the claims paying
ability rating and/or financial strength rating, as applicable, from each
Rating Agency for such insurers shall be no less than “A-” (or its
equivalent).  All such policies (except
policies for worker’s compensation) shall name Lender as an additional named
insured (subject to the rights of Mortgage Lender and Senior Mezz Lender), with
respect to the insurance required pursuant to Section 3.01(a)(iii) of
the Mortgage, shall provide, subsequent to the satisfaction of the Mortgage
Loan, for loss payable to Lender (subject to the rights of Senior Mezz Lender)
and shall contain (or have attached):  (i) standard
“non-contributory mortgagee” endorsement or its equivalent relating, inter
alia, to recovery by Lender notwithstanding the negligent or willful
acts or omissions of Borrower; (ii) a waiver of subrogation endorsement as
to Lender; (iii) an endorsement indicating that neither Lender nor
Borrower shall be or be deemed to be a co-insurer with respect to any casualty
risk insured by such policies and shall provide for a deductible per loss of an
amount not more than that which is customarily maintained by owners of similar
properties similarly situated, and (iv) a provision that such policies
shall not be canceled, terminated, denied renewal or amended, including,
without limitation, any amendment reducing the scope or limits of coverage,
without at least thirty (30) days’ prior written notice to Lender in each
instance.  Not less than thirty (30) days
prior to the expiration dates of the insurance policies obtained pursuant to
this Agreement, originals or certified copies of renewals of such policies (or
certificates evidencing such renewals) bearing notations evidencing the payment
of premiums or accompanied by other 

 

31

 

reasonable evidence of such
payment (which premiums shall not be paid by Borrower or Owner through or by
any financing arrangement which would entitle an insurer to terminate a policy)
provided, however, premiums for the insurance required pursuant to this Section may
be paid quarterly in advance or as otherwise reasonably acceptable to Lender,
it being acknowledged that paying the premium for such policies by financing
the same, paying twenty percent (20%) of the total annual premium (inclusive of
finance charges) at the time of the applicable policy renewal and paying the
remaining eighty percent (80%) of the total annual premium (inclusive of
finance charges) in nine (9) equal monthly installments is acceptable to
Lender) shall be delivered by Borrower to Lender.  Borrower shall not carry separate insurance,
concurrent in kind or form or contributing in the event of loss, with any
insurance required under Section 3.01 of the Mortgage or Section 2.30(c) hereof.

 

(b)           If
Borrower fails to maintain and deliver to Lender the original policies or
certificates of insurance required by this Agreement, Lender may, at its
option, procure such insurance, and Borrower shall pay, or as the case may be,
reimburse Lender for, all premiums thereon promptly, upon demand by Lender,
with interest thereon at the Default Rate from the date paid by Lender to the
date of repayment and such sum shall constitute a part of the Debt.

 

(c)           Borrower
shall deliver to Lender such other insurance as may from time to time be
required by Lender and which is then customarily required by Institutional
Lenders for similar properties similarly situated, against other insurable
hazards, including, but not limited to, malicious mischief, vandalism, acts of
terrorism, windstorm and/or earthquake, due regard to be given to the size and
type of the Premises, Improvements, Fixtures and Equipment and their location,
construction and use.  Additionally,
Borrower shall carry such insurance coverage as Lender may from time to time
require if the failure to carry such insurance may result in a downgrade,
qualification or withdrawal of any class of securities issued in connection
with a Securitization.

 

Section 2.31.  Casualty.  Borrower shall give Lender prompt notice of
any loss or damage to the Premises and, subject to the rights of the Mortgage
Lender under the Mortgage Loan Documents and Senior Mezz Lender under the
Senior Mezz Loan Documents (which shall in all respects supersede the rights of
Lender under this Section 2.31);

 

(a)           After
the Mortgage Loan and the Senior Mezz Loan have been paid in full, in the event
of any loss or damage covered by any insurance, Lender is hereby authorized (i) if
an Event of Default shall have occurred or, if no Event of Default shall have
occurred but Borrower, Senior Mezz Borrower or Owner fails to settle and adjust
any claim within ninety (90) Business Days after such casualty has occurred, to
settle and adjust any claim under such insurance without the consent of
Borrower, Senior Mezz Borrower or Owner, or (ii) if no Event of Default
has occurred, to allow Borrower or Owner within ninety (90) Business Days after
such casualty to settle and adjust such claim with, if any settlement may
reasonably be anticipated to result in proceeds in excess of $250,000.00, the
consent of Lender, not to be unreasonably withheld; provided, however, that in
either case Lender shall, and is hereby authorized to, collect and receive any
such insurance proceeds, subject, however, to the rights of Mortgage Lender
under the Mortgage Loan Documents and Senior Mezz Lender under the Senior Mezz
Loan 

 

32

 

Documents. 
The expenses incurred by Lender in the adjustment and collection of such
proceeds of insurance shall be additional Debt of Borrower, and shall be
reimbursed to Lender upon demand or, at Lender’s option, in the event and to
the extent sufficient proceeds are available, deducted by Lender from such
proceeds of insurance prior to any other application thereof.  If the Mortgage Loan and the Senior Mezz Loan
have been paid in full, each insurance company which has issued insurance is
hereby authorized and directed to make payment for all losses covered by such
insurance to Lender alone, and not to Lender and Borrower, Senior Mezz Borrower
or Owner jointly.  Borrower agrees to
execute and cause Owner and Senior Mezz Borrower to execute all documents and
make all deliveries required in order to permit adjustment and payment of
insurance proceeds as provided above.

 

(b)           Borrower
hereby assigns to Lender the proceeds of all insurance (other than worker’s
compensation and liability insurance) obtained pursuant to this Agreement, all
of which proceeds shall be payable to Lender as collateral and further security
for the payment of the Debt and the performance of Borrower’s obligations
hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, and Borrower hereby authorizes
and directs the issuer of any such insurance to, subject to the rights of
Mortgage Lender under the Mortgage Loan Documents, make payment of such
proceeds directly to Lender.  Lender may,
in its sole discretion, apply the proceeds of insurance received upon any
casualty either (i) to reduce the Debt, in such order or manner as Lender
may elect; or (ii) at Lender’s election, to reimburse Borrower, Senior
Mezz Borrower or Owner for or to pay the costs of restoring, repairing,
replacing or rebuilding (collectively, a “Restoration”) the loss or
damage caused by such casualty, in accordance with and subject to such
conditions as Lender may determine in its sole discretion.

 

Section 2.32.  Management of Premises.  Borrower shall cause Owner to operate and manage
the Premises or cause the Premises to be operated and managed in a manner which
is consistent with the Approved Manager Standard (as defined in the
Mortgage).  Borrower covenants and agrees
with Lender that (a) the Premises will be managed at all times by Manager
pursuant to the management agreement approved by Lender (the “Management
Agreement”), (b) after Borrower has knowledge of a fifty percent (50%)
or more change in control of the ownership of Manager (other than in connection
with an IPO, provided Manager, directly or indirectly, is Controlled by the
same Person that Controls Borrower, Borrower will promptly give Lender notice
thereof (a “Manager Control Notice”) and (c) the Management
Agreement may be terminated by Lender at any time for cause (including, but not
limited to, Manager’s gross negligence, misappropriation of funds, willful
misconduct or fraud) or at any time following (A) the occurrence of an
Event of Default, or (B) the receipt of a Manager Control Notice, or (C) the
date upon which the trailing twelve (12) month Debt Service Coverage (as
defined in the Mortgage) is less than the Debt Service Coverage set forth on Exhibit H
to the Mortgage and a substitute managing agent shall be appointed by Lender,
subject to Lender’s prior written approval, which may be given or withheld in
Lender’s sole discretion and which may be conditioned on, inter alia, a letter
from the Rating Agency confirming that any rating issued by the Rating Agency
in connection with a Securitization or Mortgage Securitization will not, as a
result of the proposed change of Manager, be downgraded from the then current
ratings thereof, qualified or withdrawn. 
Borrower may from time to time appoint a successor manager 

 

33

 

to manage the Premises with
Lender’s prior written consent which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld
or delayed, provided that any such successor manager shall be a reputable
management company which meets the Approved Manager Standard (as defined in the
Mortgage) and each Rating Agency shall have confirmed in writing that any
rating issued by the Rating Agency in connection with a Securitization or in
connection with a Mortgage Securitization will not, as a result of the proposed
change of Manager, be downgraded from the then current ratings thereof,
qualified or withdrawn.  Borrower further
covenants and agrees that Borrower shall require the Manager (or any successor
managers) to maintain at all times during the term of the Loan worker’s
compensation insurance as required by Governmental Authorities.

 

Section 2.33.  Power of Attorney.  Borrower hereby irrevocably appoints and
instructs Lender as its attorney-in-fact, with full authority in the place and
stead of Borrower and in the name of Borrower, Lender or otherwise, from time
to time in Lender’s discretion to take any and all actions necessary and
proper, to carry out the intent of this Agreement and (a) to perfect and
protect the lien, pledge, assignment and security interest of Lender created
hereunder, (b) from and during the continuance of an Event of Default, (i) to
ask, demand, collect, sue for, recover, compromise, receive and give acquittance
and receipts for moneys due and to become due under or in respect of any of the
Collateral, (ii) to file any claims or take any action or institute any
proceedings for the collection of any of the Collateral or otherwise to enforce
the rights of Lender with respect to any of the Collateral, and (iii) in
connection with the exercise of any power, right, privilege or remedy pursuant
to this Agreement, to make all necessary assignments, transfers and deliveries
of the Collateral and rights and to execute all applications, certificates,
instruments, assignments and other documents and papers, (c) to collect
and receive any insurance proceeds paid with respect to any portion of the
insurance policies required to be maintained hereunder, and to endorse any
checks, drafts or other instruments representing any insurance proceeds whether
payable by reason of loss thereunder or otherwise, (d) to exercise any
option to extend or renew the term of the Ground Lease in the name of and on
behalf of Borrower or Owner and (e) from and during the continuance of an
Event of Default, to file and prosecute, to the exclusion of Borrower and
Owner, any proofs of claim, complaints, motions, applications, notices and
other documents, in any case in respect of the Ground Lessor under the
Bankruptcy Code.  Borrower hereby
ratifies, approves and confirms all actions taken by Lender and its
attorneys-in-fact pursuant to this Section 2.33.  Neither Lender nor any said Lender or
attorney-in-fact will be liable for any acts of commission or omission nor for
any error of judgment or mistake of fact or law with respect to its dealings
with the Collateral.  This power of
attorney, being coupled with an interest, is irrevocable until the date upon
which the Debt has been indefeasibly satisfied in full.  Without limiting the foregoing, if Borrower
fails to perform any agreement or obligation contained herein, Lender may
itself perform, or cause performance of, where necessary or advisable in the name
or on behalf of Borrower, and at the expense of Borrower, as applicable.

 

Section 2.34.  Leases.  (a)  Borrower covenants and agrees that,
from the date hereof and until payment in full of the Debt, Borrower shall, or
shall cause Owner to, comply with the terms and provisions of Section 7.02(a) through
(c) of the Mortgage as provided in Section 2.14 hereof, 

 

34

 

and, to the extent such term,
covenants and conditions require any consents, approvals or waivers by Mortgage
Lender, Lender shall have the same rights to consent, approve or waive.

 

(b)           Subject
to the rights of Mortgage Lender in respect of the Rents under the Mortgage
Loan Documents and the rights of Senior Mezz Lender in respect of the Rents
under the Senior Mezz Loan Documents, at any time that (i) payments are
not being made to the Central Account, (ii) following repayment of the
Mortgage Loan or (iii) following the occurrence of an Event of Default,
then Lender shall have the immediate right to notify all tenants and other
third parties to make payments directly to the Lockbox Account.  Borrower hereby authorizes and directs the
tenants and other third parties to make such payments directly to the Lockbox
Account upon notice by Lender.  Subject
to the rights of Mortgage Lender under the Mortgage Loan Documents and Senior
Mezz Lender under the Senior Mezz Loan Documents, security and other refundable
deposits of tenants, whether held in cash or any other form, shall, after and
during the continuance of an Event of Default, be turned over to Lender
(together with any undisbursed interest earned thereon) upon Lender’s request
therefor to be held by Lender subject to the terms of the Leases.  Any letter of credit or other instrument
which Borrower or Owner holds in lieu of cash security deposit shall be
maintained in full force and effect in the full amount of such deposits unless
replaced by cash deposits as herein-above described and shall in all respects
comply with any applicable Legal Requirements and otherwise be satisfactory to
Lender.  Borrower shall, upon request,
provide Lender with evidence satisfactory to Lender of Borrower’s, Senior Mezz
Borrower’s and Owner’s compliance with the foregoing.

 

(c)           Borrower
(i) shall cause Owner to observe and perform all of its material
obligations under the Leases pursuant to applicable Legal Requirements and
shall not do or permit to be done anything to impair the value of the Leases; (ii) shall
cause Owner to promptly send copies to Lender of all notices of material
default which Owner shall receive under the Leases; (iii) shall,
consistent with the Approved Manager Standard, enforce all of the terms,
covenants and conditions contained in the Leases to be observed or performed; (iv) shall
not permit Owner to collect any of the Rents under the Leases more than one (1) month
in advance (except that Owner may collect in advance such security deposits as
are permitted pursuant to applicable Legal Requirements and are commercially
reasonable in the prevailing market); (v) shall not permit Owner to cancel
or terminate any of the Leases or accept a surrender thereof in any manner
inconsistent with the Approved Manager Standard; (vi) shall not permit
Owner to alter, modify or change the terms of any guaranty of any Major Space
Lease or cancel or terminate any such guaranty; (vii) shall cause Owner,
in accordance with the Approved Manager Standard, to make all reasonable
efforts to seek lessees for space as it becomes vacant and enter into Leases in
accordance with the terms hereof; and (viii) shall not permit Owner to
materially modify, alter or amend any Major Space Lease or Premises Agreement
without Lender’s consent, which consent will not be unreasonably withheld or
delayed.  In all instances that Owner is
required to obtain the consent of Mortgage Lender prior to entering into any
Lease, Lease amendment, modification or termination, Borrower shall cause Owner
to obtain Lender’s consent to such proposed Lease, Lease amendment,
modification or termination prior to permitting or causing Owner to submit the
proposed Lease, Lease amendment, modification or termination to Mortgage
Lender.  Borrower shall, and shall cause Senior
Mezz Borrower and 

 

35

 

Owner to, promptly send copies to Lender of all notices of material
default which either Senior Mezz Borrower or Owner shall receive under the
Leases.

 

Section 2.35.  Condemnation.  In the event that all or any portion of the
Premises shall be damaged or taken through condemnation (which term shall
include any damage or taking by any governmental authority, quasi-governmental
authority, any party having the power of condemnation, or any transfer by
private sale in lieu thereof), or any such condemnation shall be threatened,
Borrower shall give prompt written notice to Lender.  Lender acknowledges that Owner’s rights to
any condemnation award is subject to the terms of the Mortgage.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, Borrower may
not and shall not permit Owner or Senior Mezz Borrower to settle or compromise
any claim, action or proceeding relating to such damage or condemnation without
the prior written consent of Lender, which shall not be unreasonably withheld,
delayed or denied; provided, further, that either Owner or Senior Mezz Borrower
may settle, adjust and compromise any such claim, action or proceeding which is
of an amount less than $250,000 provided no Event of Default has occurred.  Any proceeds remaining after the application
of any award to reconstruct or repair the Premises or to the payment of the
Mortgage Loan and the Senior Mezz Loan shall be paid to Lender and applied to
the payment of the Debt whether or not then due.  In the event that Owner is permitted pursuant
to the terms of the Mortgage to reconstruct, restore or repair the Premises
following a condemnation of any portion of the Premises, Borrower shall cause
Owner to promptly and diligently repair and restore the Premises in the manner
and within the time periods required by the Mortgage, the Leases and any other
agreements affecting the Premises.  In the
event that Owner is permitted pursuant to the terms of the Mortgage to elect
not to reconstruct, restore or repair the Premises following a condemnation of
any portion of the Premises, Borrower shall not permit Owner to elect not to
reconstruct, restore or repair the Premises without the prior written consent
of Lender.

 

Section 2.36.  Ground Lease.

 

(a)           Borrower
will, and will cause Owner to, comply in all material respects with the terms
and conditions of the Ground Lease. 
Borrower will not, and will not permit Owner to, do or permit anything
to be done, the doing of which, or refrain from doing anything, the omission of
which, will impair or tend to impair the security of the Premises under the
Ground Lease or will be grounds for declaring a forfeiture of the Ground
Lease.  Borrower shall, and shall cause
Owner to, promptly send copies of all notices of default which Owner may
receive under the Ground Lease to Lender.

 

(b)           Borrower
shall, and shall cause Owner to, enforce the Ground Lease and not terminate,
modify, cancel, change, supplement, alter or amend the Ground Lease, or waive,
excuse, condone or in any way release or discharge Ground Lessor of or from any
of the material covenants and conditions to be performed or observed by Ground
Lessor.

 

(c)           Lender
shall have the right, but not the obligation, to perform any obligations of
Borrower or Owner under the terms of the Ground Lease during the continuance of
an Event of Default.  All costs and
expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees and
expenses) so incurred, shall be treated as an advance secured by this
Agreement, shall bear 

 

36

 

interest thereon at the Default Rate from the
date of payment by Lender until paid in full and shall be paid by Borrower to
Lender during the continuance of an Event of Default on demand.  No performance by Lender of any obligations
of Borrower or Owner shall constitute a waiver of any Event of Default arising
by reason of Borrower’s or Owner’s failure to perform the same.  If Lender shall make any payment or perform
any act or take action in accordance with this Section 2.36(c), Lender
will notify Borrower of the making of any such payment, the performance of any
such act, or the taking of any such action.

 

(d)           Borrower
shall cause Owner to exercise each individual option, if any, to extend or
renew the term of the Ground Lease not less than thirty (30) days prior to the
last day upon which any such option may be exercised (and in all events within
five (5) days after demand by Lender made at any time within one (1) year
of the last day upon which any such option may be exercised), and Borrower
hereby expressly authorizes and appoints Lender its attorney-in-fact to
exercise any such option on behalf of Owner to so exercise such option if
Borrower fails to cause Owner to exercise as herein required, which power of
attorney shall be irrevocable and shall be deemed to be coupled with an
interest.  Borrower shall give Lender
notice of Owner’s exercise of any such option to extend or renew the term of
the Ground Lease within five (5) days of the exercise of any such option.

 

(e)           Subject
to Mortgage Lender’s rights under the Mortgage Loan and Senior Mezz Lender’s
rights under the Senior Mezz Loan, Borrower shall cause Owner to assign,
transfer and set over to Lender all of Borrower’s claims and rights to the
payment of damages arising from any rejection by the Ground Lessor of the
Ground Lease under the Bankruptcy Code. 
Borrower shall notify Lender promptly (and in any event within ten (10) days)
of any claim, suit, action or proceeding relating to the rejection of the
Ground Lease.  Lender is hereby
irrevocably appointed as Borrower’s attorney-in-fact, coupled with an interest,
with exclusive power to file and prosecute, to the exclusion of Borrower, any
proofs of claim, complaints, motions, applications, notices and other
documents, in any case in respect of the Ground Lessor under the Bankruptcy
Code during the continuance of an Event of Default.  Borrower may make any compromise or
settlement in connection with such proceedings (subject to Lender’s reasonable
approval); provided, however, that Lender shall be authorized and entitled to
compromise or settle any such proceeding if such compromise or settlement is
made after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of
Default.  Borrower shall promptly execute
and deliver to Lender any and all instruments reasonably required in connection
with any such proceeding after request therefor by Lender.  Except as set forth above, Borrower shall
not, nor permit Owner to, adjust, compromise, settle or enter into any
agreement with respect to such proceedings without the prior written consent of
Lender, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed.

 

(f)            Borrower
shall not permit Owner to, without Lender’s prior written consent, elect to
treat the Ground Lease as terminated under Section 365(h)(1) of the
Bankruptcy Code.  Any such election made
without Lender’s prior written consent shall be void.

 

(g)           If
pursuant to Section 365(h)(2) of the Bankruptcy Code, Owner seeks to
offset against the rent reserved in the Ground Lease the amount of any damages
caused by the non-performance by the Ground Lessor of any of the Ground Lessor’s
obligations under the Ground 

 

37

 

Lease after the rejection by the Ground
Lessor of the Ground Lease under the Bankruptcy Code, Borrower shall, prior to
Owner effecting such offset, notify Lender of its intention to do so, setting
forth the amounts proposed to be so offset and the basis therefor.  If Lender has failed to object as aforesaid
within ten (10) days after notice from Borrower in accordance with the
first sentence of this Section 2.35(g), Borrower may permit Owner to
proceed to effect such offset in the amounts set forth in Borrower’s
notice.  Neither Lender’s failure to
object as aforesaid nor any objection or other communication between Lender and
Borrower relating to such offset shall constitute an approval of any such
offset by Lender.  Borrower shall
indemnify and save Lender harmless from and against any and all claims,
demands, actions, suits, proceedings, damages, losses, costs and expenses of
every nature whatsoever (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’
fees and disbursements) arising from or relating to any such offset by Owner
against the rent reserved in the Ground Lease.

 

(h)           Borrower
shall immediately, after obtaining knowledge thereof, notify Lender of any
filing by or against the Ground Lessor of a petition under the Bankruptcy
Code.  Borrower shall thereafter
forthwith give written notice of such filing to Lender, setting forth any
information available to Borrower or Owner as to the date of such filing, the
court in which such petition was filed, and the relief sought therein.  Borrower shall promptly deliver to Lender
following receipt any and all notices, summonses, pleadings, applications and
other documents received by Borrower or Owner in connection with any such
petition and any proceedings relating thereto.

 

(i)            Borrower
shall, and shall cause Owner to, perform all other covenants with respect to
the Ground Lease as set forth in the Mortgage for so long as any portion of the
Debt remains outstanding (regardless of whether the Mortgage Loan remains
outstanding).

continuance of any Event of Default, Lender may, in addition to any other
rights or remedies available to it hereunder or under any other Loan Document,
at law or in equity, take such action, without notice or demand, as it
reasonably deems advisable to protect and enforce its rights against Borrower
and in and to the Collateral, including, but not limited to, the following
actions, each of which may be pursued singly, concurrently or otherwise, at
such time and in such order as Lender may determine, in its sole discretion,
without impairing or otherwise affecting any other rights and remedies of
Lender hereunder, at law or in equity:  (i) declare
all or any portion of the unpaid Loan to be immediately due and payable;
provided, however, that upon the occurrence of any of the events specified in Section 3.01(i),
the entire Loan will be immediately due and payable without notice or demand or
any other declaration of the amounts due and payable; or (ii) bring an
action to foreclose this Agreement and thereupon Lender may (A) exercise
all rights and powers of Borrower with respect to the Collateral or any part
thereof, whether in the name of Borrower or otherwise and (B) apply the receipts
from the Collateral to the payment of the Debt, after deducting therefrom all
expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees and
disbursements and all applicable transfer taxes) reasonably incurred in
connection therewith, as well as just and reasonable compensation for the
services of Lender’s third-party agents; or (iii) sell the Collateral or
institute proceedings for the complete foreclosure of this Agreement, or take
such other action as may be allowed pursuant to Legal Requirements, at law or
in equity, for the enforcement of this Agreement; or (iv) pursue any or
all such other rights or remedies as Lender may have under applicable law or in
equity (including, without limitation, all rights and remedies to a secured
party under the UCC); provided, however, that the provisions of this 

 

40

 

Section shall not be
construed to extend or modify any of the notice requirements or grace periods
provided for hereunder or under any of the other Loan Documents.

 

(b)           In
addition to the remedies described in subsection (a) above, if any
Event of Default shall occur, so long as such Event of Default shall be
continuing, (i) Lender and/or its nominees or designees shall have the
right to receive any and all dividends, payments or Distributions paid with
respect to the Equity Interests and the other Collateral, as applicable, and
make application thereof in accordance with this Agreement (and any dividends
and other payments received in trust by Borrower for the benefit of Lender
shall be segregated from the other funds of Borrower) and (ii) at Lender’s
election, all Equity Interests shall be transferred to Lender and/or one (1) or
more nominee(s) or designee(s) thereof, and Lender and/or such nominee(s) or
designee(s) may in the name of Borrower or in Lender’s and/or such nominee’s(s’)
or designee’s(s’) own name, collect all payments and assets due Borrower
pursuant to the Equity Interests and/or the applicable Organizational
Documents, and Lender and/or such nominee(s) or designee(s) may thereafter
exercise (A) all voting and other rights pertaining to the Equity
Interests under the Organizational Documents, and (ii) any and all rights
of conversion, exchange, subscription and any other rights, privileges or
options pertaining to the Equity Interests as if they were the absolute owners
thereof (including the right to exchange at their discretion any and all of the
Equity Interests upon the merger, consolidation, reorganization,
recapitalization or other change in the structure of any Corporation, LLC or
Partnership), or upon the exercise by Borrower or Lender and/or such nominee(s)
or designee(s) of any right, privilege or option pertaining to such Equity
Interests, and, in connection therewith, the right to deposit and deliver
evidences of the Equity Interests with any committee, depository, transfer
agent, registrar or other designated agency (upon such terms and conditions as
they may determine), all without liability except to account for property
actually received by them, but neither Lender nor any such nominee or designee
shall have any duty to exercise any such right, privilege or option and shall
not be responsible for any failure to do so or delay in so doing.  Further, unless and until Lender and/or such
nominee(s) or designee(s) succeeds to actual ownership thereof, pursuant to the
exercise of Lender’s remedies described in subsection (a) above,
neither Lender nor any such nominee or designee shall be obligated to perform
or discharge any obligation, duty or liability in connection with the Equity
Interests or the Collateral.  The rights
of Lender hereunder shall not be conditioned or contingent upon the pursuit by
Lender of any other right or remedy against Borrower or any guarantor of any of
the Debt, or against any other Person which may be or become liable in respect
of all or any part of the Debt or against any other collateral security
therefor, guarantee thereof or right of offset with respect thereto.  Neither Lender nor any of its nominees or
designees shall be liable for any failure to demand, collect or realize upon
all or any part of the Collateral or for any delay in doing so, nor shall they
be under any obligation to sell or otherwise dispose of any Collateral upon the
request of Borrower or any other Person or to take any other action whatsoever
with regard to the Collateral or any part thereof.

 

(c)           Following
the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, Lender may,
at its election, and in addition to any other remedies available hereunder, in
its sole and absolute discretion, no such duty being imposed hereby, pay,
purchase, contest or 

 

41

 

compromise any encumbrance, charge or lien
which is prior or superior to its security interest in the Collateral and pay
all expenses incurred therewith (any payment or expense so incurred shall be
deemed a part of the Debt and shall be immediately due and payable and secured
hereby), all of which shall be deemed authorized by Borrower.  All such expenses not paid when due shall
accrue interest at the Default Rate.

 

(d)           Without
limiting the generality of the other provisions of this Agreement, Lender is
hereby authorized by Borrower, but not obligated, in the event of any Event of
Default hereunder giving rise to Lender’s rights to sell or otherwise dispose
of the Collateral, and after the giving of any notices required herein, to sell
all or any part of the Collateral at private sale, subject to an investment
letter or in any other manner which will not require the Collateral, or any
part thereof, to be registered in accordance with the Securities Act of 1933,
as amended (the “Securities Act”), or other applicable rules and
regulations promulgated thereunder, or any other law or regulation, at the best
price reasonably obtainable by Lender at any such private sale or other
disposition in the manner mentioned above, and Borrower specifically
acknowledges that any such disposition shall be commercially reasonable under
the UCC even though any such private sales may be at prices and on terms less
favorable than those obtainable through a public sale without such
restrictions, and agrees that Lender shall have no obligation to engage in
public sales and no obligation to delay the sale of any Collateral for the
period of time necessary to permit the issuer thereof to register it for a form
of public sale required by registration under the Securities Act or under
applicable state securities laws, even if such issuer would, or should agree
to, so register it.  Lender is also
hereby authorized by Borrower, but not obligated, to take such actions, give
such notices, obtain such consents, and do such other things as Lender may deem
required or appropriate in the event of a sale or disposition of any of the
Collateral.  If Lender determines to
exercise its right to sell any or all of the Collateral, upon written request,
Borrower shall and shall cause each issuer of any Pledged Interests or other
Equity Interests owned by Borrower to be sold hereunder from time to time to
furnish to Lender all such information as Lender may request in order to
determine the number of shares and other instruments included in the Collateral
which may be sold by Lender in exempt transactions under the Securities Act and
the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission
thereunder, as the same are from time to time in effect.  Borrower clearly understands that Lender may
at its discretion approach a restricted number of potential purchasers and that
a sale under such circumstances may yield a lower price for the Collateral, or
any part or parts thereof, than would otherwise be obtainable if same were
registered and sold in the open market. 
Borrower agrees:  (i) in the
event Lender shall, upon an Event of Default hereunder, sell the Collateral, or
any portion thereof, at such private sale or sales, Lender shall have the right
to rely upon the advice and opinion of any member firm of the National Security
Exchange as to the best price reasonably obtainable upon such private sale
thereof; and (ii) that such reliance shall be conclusive evidence that
Lender handled such matter in a commercially reasonable manner under the UCC.

 

(e)           In
order to permit Lender to exercise the voting and other consensual rights which
it may be entitled to exercise pursuant to this Agreement and to receive all
dividends and other Distributions which it may be entitled to receive under
this Agreement, (i) Borrower shall 

 

42

 

promptly execute and deliver (or cause to be
executed and delivered) to Lender all such proxies, dividend payment orders and
other instruments as Lender may from time to time reasonably request and (ii) WITHOUT LIMITING THE EFFECT OF THE IMMEDIATELY
PRECEDING CLAUSE (i), BORROWER HEREBY GRANTS TO LENDER AN IRREVOCABLE
PROXY TO VOTE THE PLEDGED INTERESTS AND OTHER EQUITY INTERESTS PLEDGED BY
BORROWER AND TO EXERCISE ALL OTHER RIGHTS, POWERS, PRIVILEGES AND REMEDIES TO
WHICH A HOLDER OF THE PLEDGED INTERESTS OR OTHER EQUITY INTERESTS WOULD BE
ENTITLED (INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION GIVING OR WITHHOLDING WRITTEN CONSENTS
OF SHAREHOLDERS, MEMBERS OR PARTNERS, AS APPLICABLE, CALLING SPECIAL MEETINGS
OF SHAREHOLDERS, MEMBERS OR PARTNERS, AS APPLICABLE, AND VOTING AT SUCH
MEETINGS), WHICH PROXY SHALL BE EFFECTIVE, AUTOMATICALLY AND WITHOUT THE
NECESSITY OF ANY ACTION (INCLUDING ANY TRANSFER OF ANY PLEDGED INTERESTS ON THE
RECORD BOOKS OF THE ISSUER THEREOF) BY ANY OTHER PERSON (INCLUDING THE ISSUER
OF THE PLEDGED INTERESTS OR ANY OFFICER OR AGENT THEREOF), UPON THE OCCURRENCE
AND DURING THE CONTINUANCE OF AN EVENT OF DEFAULT AND WHICH PROXY SHALL ONLY
TERMINATE UPON THE PAYMENT IN FULL OF THE DEBT OTHER THAN THE SURVIVING
OBLIGATIONS (WHICH, HOWEVER, SHALL REMAIN SUBJECT TO THE PREFERENTIAL PAYMENT
PROVISIONS).

 

(f)            Any
time after an Event of Default Lender shall have the power to sell the
Collateral or any part thereof at public auction, in such manner, at such time
and place, upon such terms and conditions, and upon such public notice as
Lender may deem best for the interest of Lender, or as may be required or
permitted by applicable law, consisting of advertisement in a newspaper of
general circulation in the jurisdiction and for such period as applicable law
may require and at such other times and by such other methods, if any, as may
be required by law to convey the Collateral to and at the cost of the
purchaser, who shall not be liable to see to the application of the purchase
money.  Notwithstanding anything
contained in this Agreement or in any other Loan Document, the proceeds or
avails of any sale made under or by virtue of this Section, together with any
other sums which then may be held by Lender under this Agreement, whether under
the provisions of this Section or otherwise, shall be applied as follows:

 

First: 
To the payment of the third-party costs and expenses reasonably incurred
in connection with any such sale (including, without limitation, any transfer
taxes) and to advances, fees and expenses, including, without limitation,
reasonable fees and expenses of Lender’s legal counsel as applicable, and of
any judicial proceedings wherein the same may be made, and of all expenses,
liabilities and advances reasonably made or incurred by Lender under this
Agreement, together with interest as provided herein on all such advances made
by Lender;

 

Second: 
To the payment of the whole amount then due, owing and unpaid under the
Note for principal and interest thereon, with interest on such unpaid principal

 

43

 

at the Default Rate from the date of the
occurrence of the earliest Event of Default that formed a basis for such sale
until the same is paid;

 

Third: 
To the payment of any other portion of the Loan required to be paid by
Borrower pursuant to any provision of this Agreement, the Note, or any of the
other Loan Documents; and

 

Fourth: 
The surplus, if any, to Junior Mezz Lender if the Junior Mezz Loan is
then outstanding and if the Junior Mezz Loan is not outstanding, then to
Borrower unless otherwise required by Legal Requirements.

 

Lender and any receiver or custodian of the Collateral or any part
thereof shall be liable to account for only those rents, issues, proceeds and
profits, as applicable, actually received by it.

 

(g)           Lender
may adjourn from time to time any sale by it to be made under or by virtue of
this Agreement by announcement at the time and place appointed for such sale or
for such adjourned sale or sales and, except as otherwise provided by any
applicable provision of Legal Requirements, Lender, without further notice or
publication, may make such sale at the time and place to which the same shall
be so adjourned.

 

(h)           Upon
the completion of any sale or sales made by Lender under or by virtue of this Section,
Lender, or any officer of any court empowered to do so, shall execute and
deliver to the accepted purchaser or purchasers a good and sufficient
instrument, or good and sufficient instruments, granting, conveying, assigning
and transferring all estate, right, title and interest in and to the
Collateral.  Lender is hereby irrevocably
appointed the true and lawful attorney-in-fact of Borrower (coupled with an
interest), in its name and stead, to make all necessary conveyances,
assignments, transfers and deliveries and for that purpose Lender may execute
all necessary instruments of conveyance, assignment, transfer and delivery, and
may substitute one or more Persons with like power, Borrower hereby ratifying
and confirming all that its said attorney-in-fact or such substitute or
substitutes shall lawfully do by virtue hereof. 
Nevertheless, Borrower, if so requested by Lender, shall ratify and
confirm any such sale or sales by executing and delivering to Lender, or to
such purchaser or purchasers all such instruments as may be advisable, in the
sole judgment of Lender, for such purpose, and as may be designated in such
request.  Any such sale or sales made
under or by virtue of this Section shall operate to divest all the estate,
right, title, interest, claim and demand whatsoever, whether at law or in
equity, of Borrower in and to the Collateral, and shall, to the fullest extent
permitted under Legal Requirements, be a perpetual bar, both at law and in
equity against Borrower and against any and all Persons claiming or who may
claim the same, or any part thereof, from, through or under Borrower.

 

(i)            In
the event of any sale made under or by virtue of this Section, the entire Loan
immediately thereupon shall, anything in the Loan Documents to the contrary notwithstanding,
become due and payable.

 

(j)            Upon
any sale made under or by virtue of this Section (whether made under the 

 

44

 

power of sale herein granted or under or by
virtue of judicial proceedings or a judgment or decree of foreclosure and
sale), Lender may bid for and acquire the Collateral or any part thereof and in
lieu of paying cash therefor may make settlement for the purchase price by
crediting upon the Loan the net sales price after deducting therefrom the
expenses of the sale (including, without limitation, transfer taxes) and the
costs of the action.

 

(k)           No
recovery of any judgment by Lender and no levy of an execution under any
judgment upon the Collateral or upon any other property of Borrower shall
release the lien of this Agreement upon the Collateral or any part thereof, or
any liens, rights, powers or remedies of Lender hereunder, but such liens,
rights, powers and remedies of Lender shall continue unimpaired until all
amounts due under the Note, this Agreement and the other Loan Documents are
paid in full.

 

(l)            Upon
the exercise by Lender of any power, right, privilege, or remedy pursuant to
this Agreement which requires any consent, approval, registration,
qualification, or authorization of any Governmental Authority, Borrower agrees
to execute and deliver, or will cause the execution and delivery of, all
applications, certificates, instruments, assignments and other documents and
papers that Lender or any purchaser of the Collateral may be required to obtain
for such governmental consent, approval, registration, qualification, or
authorization and Lender is hereby irrevocably appointed the true and lawful
attorney-in-fact of Borrower (coupled with an interest), in its name and stead,
to execute all such applications, certificates, instruments, assignments and
other documents and papers.

 

(m)          Lender
may comply with any applicable Legal Requirements in connection with the
disposition of the Collateral, and Lender’s compliance therewith will not be
considered to adversely affect the commercial reasonableness of any sale of the
Collateral.

 

(n)           Lender
may sell the Collateral without giving any warranties as to the Collateral.
Lender may specifically disclaim any warranties of title, possession, quiet
enjoyment or the like.  This procedure
will not be considered to adversely affect the commercial reasonableness of any
sale of the Collateral.

 

(o)           If
Lender sells any of the Collateral upon credit, Borrower will be credited only
with payments actually made by the purchaser, received by Lender and applied to
the indebtedness of the purchaser.  In
the event the purchaser of the Collateral fails to fully pay for the
Collateral, Lender may resell the Collateral and Borrower will be credited with
the proceeds of such sale.

 

Section 3.03.  No Conditions Precedent to Exercise of
Lender’s Remedies.  Borrower waives
any and all legal requirements that Lender institute any action or proceeding
at law or in equity against Borrower or any other party or exhaust its remedies
against Borrower or any other party in respect of any other security held by
Lender for the Debt or any portion thereof as a condition precedent to
exercising its right and remedies pursuant to this Agreement.

 

45

 

Section 3.04.  Additional Security.  Borrower authorizes Lender without notice or
demand and without affecting its liability under this Agreement or under the
Note (i) to take and hold security in addition to the security interest in
the Collateral granted by Borrower to Lender pursuant to this Agreement, for
the payment of the Debt or any part thereof, and to exchange, waive or release
any such other security and (ii) to release or substitute Borrower.

 

Section 3.05.  Rights and Remedies Continue.  Until the Debt shall have been paid in full,
all rights, powers and remedies granted to Lender under this Agreement shall
continue to exist and may be exercised by Lender at any time and from time to
time irrespective of the fact that the Debt or any part thereof may have become
barred by any statute of limitations or that the liability of Borrower therefor
may have ceased.

 

Section 3.06.  Right to Terminate Proceedings.  Lender may terminate or rescind any
proceeding or other action brought in connection with its exercise of the
remedies provided in Section 3.02 at any time before the conclusion
thereof, as determined in Lender’s sole discretion and without prejudice to
Lender.

 

Section 3.07.  No Waiver or Release.  The failure of Lender to exercise any right,
remedy or option provided in the Loan Documents shall not be deemed a waiver of
such right, remedy or option or of any covenant or obligation contained in the
Loan Documents.  No acceptance by Lender
of any payment after the occurrence of an Event of Default and no payment by
Lender of any payment or obligation for which Borrower is liable hereunder
shall be deemed to waive or cure any Event of Default.  No sale of all or any portion of the
Collateral, no forbearance on the part of Lender, and no extension of time for
the payment of the whole or any portion of the Loan or any other indulgence
given by Lender to Borrower or any other Person, shall operate to release or in
any manner affect the interest of Lender in the Collateral or the liability of
Borrower to pay the Loan.  No waiver by
Lender shall be effective unless it is in writing and then only to the extent
specifically stated.

 

Section 3.08.  Payment of Debt After Default.  If following the occurrence of any Event of
Default, Borrower shall tender payment of an amount sufficient to satisfy the
Debt in whole or in part at any time prior to a UCC sale of the Collateral, and
if at the time of such tender prepayment of the principal balance of the Note
is not permitted by the Note and this Agreement, Borrower shall, in addition to
the entire Debt, also pay to Lender a sum equal to interest which would have
accrued on the principal balance of the Note at an interest rate equal to the
LIBOR Margin for the Note plus the greater of (x) the then current LIBOR Rate
and (y) the then current average yield for “This Week” as published by the
Federal Reserve Board during the most recent full week preceding the date on
which Borrower tenders such payment in Federal Reserve Statistical Release H.15
(519) for instruments having a ten (10) year maturity, from the date of
such tender to the earlier of (a) the Maturity Date or (b) the first
day of the period during which prepayment of the principal balance of the Note
would have been permitted together with a prepayment consideration equal to the
prepayment consideration which would have been payable as of the first day of
the period during which prepayment would have been permitted.  If at the time of such tender, prepayment of
the principal balance of the Note is permitted, such tender by Borrower shall
be deemed to be a voluntary prepayment of the principal balance of the Note and

 

46

 

Borrower shall, in addition to
the entire Debt, also pay to Lender the applicable Exit Additional Interest
Payment and prepayment consideration specified in the Note and this Agreement.

 

Section 3.09.  No Impairment; No Releases.  The interests and rights of Lender under the
Loan Documents shall not be impaired by any indulgence, including (a) any
renewal, extension or modification which Lender may grant with respect to any
of the Loan; (b) any surrender, compromise, release, renewal, extension,
exchange or substitution which Lender may grant with respect to the Loan
Documents or any portion thereof; or (c) any release or indulgence granted
to any maker, endorser, or surety of any of the Loan.

 

Section 3.10.  Interest After Default.  If any amount due under the Note, this
Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents is not paid within any applicable
notice and grace period after same is due, whether such date is the stated due
date, any accelerated due date or any other date or at any other time specified
under any of the terms hereof or thereof, then, in such event, Borrower shall
pay interest on the amount not so paid from and after the date on which such
amount first becomes due at the Default Rate; and such interest shall be due
and payable at such rate until the earlier of the cure of all Events of Default
or the payment of the entire amount due to Lender, whether or not any action
shall have been taken or proceeding commenced to recover the same or to
foreclose this Agreement.  All unpaid and
accrued interest shall be secured by this Agreement as part of the Debt.  Nothing in this Section or in any other
provision of this Agreement shall constitute an extension of the time for
payment of the Debt.

 

Section 3.11.  Late Payment Charge.  If any portion of the Debt is not paid in
full on or before the date on which it is due and payable hereunder (other than
the principal portion of the Debt due on the Maturity Date), Borrower shall pay
to Lender an amount equal to five percent (5%) of such unpaid portion of the
Debt (“Late Charge”) to defray the expense incurred by Lender in handling
and processing such delinquent payment, and such amount shall constitute a part
of the Debt.

 

Section 3.12.  Recovery of Sums Required To Be Paid.  Lender shall have the right from time to time
to take action to recover any sum or sums which constitute a part of the Debt
as the same become due and payable hereunder (after the expiration of any grace
period or the giving of any notice herein provided, if any), without regard to
whether or not the balance of the Debt shall be due, and without prejudice to the
right of Lender thereafter to bring an action of foreclosure, or any other
action, for a default or defaults by Borrower existing at the time such earlier
action was commenced.

 

Section 3.13.  Control By Lender After Default.  Notwithstanding the appointment of any
custodian, receiver, liquidator or trustee of Borrower, or of any of its
property, or of the Collateral or any part thereof, to the extent permitted by
Legal Requirements, Lender shall be entitled to obtain possession and control
of all Collateral.

 

47

 

ARTICLE IV.  INDEMNIFICATION

 

Section 4.01.  Indemnification Covering Property.  In addition, and without limitation, to any
other provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, Borrower shall
protect, indemnify and save harmless Lender and its successors and assigns, and
each of their agents, employees, officers, directors, stockholders, partners
and members (collectively, “Indemnified Parties”) for, from and against
any claims, demands, penalties, fines, liabilities, settlements, damages, costs
and expenses of whatever kind or nature, known or unknown, contingent or
otherwise, whether incurred or imposed within or outside the judicial process,
including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements
imposed upon or incurred by or asserted against any of the Indemnified Parties
by reason of (a) ownership of this Agreement or the Collateral; (b) any
accident, injury to or death of any person or loss of or damage to property
occurring in, on or about the Premises or any part thereof or on the adjoining
sidewalks, curbs, parking areas, streets or ways; (c) any use, nonuse or
condition in, on or about, or possession, alteration, repair, operation,
maintenance or management of, the Premises or any part thereof or on the
adjoining sidewalks, curbs, parking areas, streets or ways; (d) any
failure on the part of Borrower to perform or comply with any of the terms of
this Agreement; (e) performance of any labor or services or the furnishing
of any materials or other property in respect of the Premises or any part
thereof; (f) any claim by brokers, finders or similar Persons claiming to
be entitled to a commission in connection with any Lease or other transaction
involving the Premises or any part thereof; (g) any Imposition including,
without limitation, any Imposition attributable to the execution, delivery,
filing, or recording of any Loan Document, Lease or memorandum thereof; (h) any
lien or claim arising on or against the Premises or any part thereof under any
Legal Requirement or any liability asserted against any of the Indemnified
Parties with respect thereto; (i) any claim arising out of or in any way
relating to any tax or other imposition on the making and/or recording of this
Agreement, the Note or any of the other Loan Documents; (j) a Default under
Sections 2.02(f), 2.02(g), 2.02(k) or 2.02(s) hereof, (k) the failure of any
Person to file timely with the Internal Revenue Service an accurate Form 1099-B,
Statement for Recipients of Proceeds from Real Estate, Broker and Barter
Exchange Transactions, which may be required in connection with the Loan, or to
supply a copy thereof in a timely fashion to the recipient of the proceeds of
the Loan; (l) the claims of any lessee or any Person acting through or under
any lessee or otherwise arising under or as a consequence of any Lease; or (m)
the actual or alleged presence, disposal, escape, seepage, leakage, spillage,
discharge, emission, release or threat of release of any Hazardous Materials
in, on, over, under, from or affecting the Premises or (n) the failure to pay
any insurance premiums.  Notwithstanding
the foregoing provisions of this Section to the contrary, Borrower shall
have no obligation to indemnify the Indemnified Parties pursuant to this Section for
liabilities, obligations, claims, damages, penalties, causes of action, costs
and expenses relative to the foregoing which result from Lender’s, and its
successors’ or assigns’, willful misconduct or gross negligence.  Any amounts payable to Lender by reason of
the application of this Section shall constitute a part of the Debt
secured by this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and shall become
immediately due and payable and shall bear interest at the Default Rate from the
date the liability, obligation, claim, cost or expense is sustained by Lender,
as applicable, until paid.  The
provisions of this Section shall survive the termination of this Agreement
whether by repayment of the Debt, foreclosure of this Agreement, assignment or 

 

48

 

otherwise.  In case any action, suit or proceeding is
brought against any of the Indemnified Parties by reason of any occurrence of
the type set forth in (a) through (m) above, Borrower shall, at Borrower’s
expense, resist and defend such action, suit or proceeding or will cause the
same to be resisted and defended by counsel at Borrower’s expense for the
insurer of the liability or by counsel designated by Borrower (unless
reasonably disapproved by Lender promptly after Lender has been notified of
such counsel); provided, however, that nothing herein shall
compromise the right of Lender (or any other Indemnified Party) to appoint its
own counsel at Borrower’s expense for its defense with respect to any action
which, in the reasonable opinion of Lender or such other Indemnified Party, as
applicable, presents a conflict or potential conflict between Lender or such
other Indemnified Party that would make such separate representation advisable.  Any Indemnified Party will give Borrower
prompt notice after such Indemnified Party obtains actual knowledge of any
potential claim by such Indemnified Party for indemnification hereunder.  The Indemnified Parties shall not settle or
compromise any action, proceeding or claim as to which it is indemnified
hereunder without notice to Borrower. 
Notwithstanding the foregoing, so long as no Default has occurred and is
continuing and Borrower is resisting and defending such action, suit or
proceeding as provided above in a prudent and commercially reasonable manner,
in order to obtain the benefit of this Section with respect to such
action, suit or proceeding, Lender and the Indemnified Parties agree that they
shall not settle such action, suit or proceeding without obtaining Borrower’s
consent which Borrower agrees not to unreasonably withhold, condition or delay;
provided, however, (x) if Borrower is not diligently defending
such action, suit or proceeding in a prudent and commercially reasonable manner
as provided above and Lender has provided Borrower with thirty (30) days’ prior
written notice, or shorter period if mandated by the requirements of the
applicable law, and Borrower has failed to correct such failure, or (y) failure
to settle could, in Lender’s reasonable judgment, expose Lender to criminal
liability, Lender may settle such action, suit or proceeding without the
consent of but upon notice to Borrower and be entitled to the benefits of this Section with
respect to the settlement of such action, suit or proceeding.

 

ARTICLE V.  SECURITY
AGREEMENT

 

Section 5.01.  Security Agreement.  (a)  This Agreement is a “security
agreement” within the meaning of the UCC. 
If an Event of Default shall occur, Lender, in addition to any other
rights and remedies which it may have, shall have and may exercise immediately
and without demand, any and all rights and remedies granted to a secured party
upon default under the UCC, including, without limiting the generality of the
foregoing, the right to take possession of the Collateral or any part thereof,
and to take such other measures as Lender may deem necessary for the care,
protection and preservation of the Collateral. 
Upon request or demand of Lender following an Event of Default, Borrower
shall, at its expense, assemble the Collateral and make it available to Lender
at a convenient place acceptable to Lender. 
Borrower shall pay to Lender on demand any and all expenses, including
reasonable legal expenses and attorneys’ fees and all transfer taxes, incurred
or paid by Lender in protecting its interest in the Collateral and in enforcing
its rights hereunder with respect to the Collateral.  Any notice of sale, disposition or other
intended action by Lender with respect to the Collateral given to Borrower in
accordance 

 

49

 

with the provisions hereof at
least ten (10) days prior to such action shall constitute reasonable
notice to Borrower.

 

(b)           Borrower
hereby irrevocably appoints Lender as its attorney-in-fact, coupled with an
interest, to file with the appropriate public office on its behalf any
financing or other statements signed only by Lender, as secured party, or, to
the extent permitted under the UCC, unsigned, in connection with the Collateral
covered by this Agreement.

 

(c)           Borrower
will furnish to Lender from time to time statements and schedules further
identifying and describing the Collateral and such other reports in connection
with the Collateral as Lender may reasonably request, all in reasonable detail.

 

(d)           The
powers conferred on Lender hereunder are solely to protect Lender’s interest in
the Collateral and shall not impose any duty upon it to exercise any such
powers.  Except for the safe custody of
any Collateral in its possession and the accounting for moneys actually
received by it hereunder, Lender shall have no duty (and neither Lender nor any
of its officers, directors, employees or agents shall be responsible to
Borrower for any act or failure to act) as to any Collateral, as to
ascertaining or taking action with respect to calls, conversions, exchanges,
maturities, tenders or other matters relating to any Collateral, whether or not
Lender has or is deemed to have knowledge of such matters, or as to the taking
of any necessary steps to preserve rights against any parties or any other
rights pertaining to any Collateral. 
Lender shall be deemed to have exercised reasonable care in the custody
and preservation of any Collateral in its possession if such Collateral is
accorded treatment substantially equal to that which it accords its own
property.

 

ARTICLE VI.  PREPAYMENT

 

Section 6.01.  Prepayment.  (a) Except as set forth in Section 6.01(b) hereof,
no prepayment of the Debt may be made in whole or in part.

 

(b)           Borrower
may prepay the Loan, in whole or in part, as of the last day of an Interest
Accrual Period in accordance with the following provisions:

 

(i)            Lender
shall have received from Borrower, not less than thirty (30) days’, nor more
than ninety (90) days’, prior written notice specifying the date proposed for
such prepayment and the amount which is to be prepaid.

 

(ii)           Borrower shall also pay
to Lender all interest due through and including the last day of the Interest
Accrual Period in which such prepayment is being made, together with any and
all other amounts due and owing pursuant to the terms of the Note, this
Agreement or the other Loan Documents.

 

(iii)          Any partial prepayment
shall be in a minimum amount of not less than $25,000 and shall be in whole
multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof.

 

50

 

(iv)          Intentionally omitted.

 

(v)           Any partial prepayment
of the Principal Amount, including, without limitation, Unscheduled Payments,
shall be applied to the installments of principal last due hereunder and shall
not release or relieve Borrower from the obligation to pay the Minimum
Amortization Payments (as defined in the Note) becoming due under the Note.

 

(vi)          In the event that the
Loan is prepaid in whole or in part prior to the first (1st) anniversary of the
date hereof, Borrower shall pay to Lender, together with such prepayment and
all other amounts due in connection therewith, a non-refundable amount which
shall be deemed earned by Lender upon the funding of the Loan and shall not
count to or be credited to payment of the Principal Amount, any interest
thereon or any other amounts payable under the Note, the Agreement or any of
the Loan Documents, equal to the Spread Maintenance Premium.

 

(vii)         No prepayments shall be
made on the Mortgage Loan until the Loan shall have been paid in full other
than in connection with a Release pursuant to the Mortgage Loan, in which case
Borrower shall be required to prepay only a portion of the Loan in an amount
equal to the outstanding principal amount of the Loan for the
Cross-collateralized Property which is the subject of the Release multiplied by
a fraction, the numerator of which is (A) one hundred fifteen percent
(115%) of the Allocated Loan Amount for the Cross-collateralized Property which
is the subject of the Release or (B) with respect to the Delano Hotel
only, one hundred ten percent (110%) of the Allocated Loan Amount of the Delano
Hotel, and the denominator of which is the original principal amount of the
Loan.

 

Section 6.02.  Additional Interest.  Upon any repayment or prepayment of the Loan,
Borrower shall be required to pay to Lender a non-refundable sum (the “Exit Additional
Interest Payment”) on the date of such repayment or prepayment equal to
one-quarter of one percent (0.25%) of the principal amount of the Debt being
repaid or prepaid.  All Exit Additional
Interest Payments shall be deemed to be earned by Lender upon the funding of
the Loan.  Notwithstanding the foregoing,
no Exit Additional Interest Fee shall be due with respect to repayments of the
Loan made (a) in connection with an IPO, (b) from sales proceeds from
the conversion of the Premises to a condominium form of ownership with respect
to which Borrower or Owner shall sell residential condominium units to the
public, which conversion the parties hereto acknowledge may only be done with
the consent of Lender and subject to such conditions as Lender shall, in its
sole and absolute discretion, impose, or (c) in connection with a
prepayment resulting from (i) regularly scheduled amortization payments
made pursuant to the Note, (ii) proceeds of asset sales to bona fide third
parties which are not Affiliates of Borrower, (iii) equity contributions
from members of Borrower or (iv) Additional Financing, so long as any such
equity contributions or Additional Financings are not refinanced through
mortgage financing within 180 days following the date of such equity
contribution or the incurrence of Additional Financings, as applicable.

prior written notice as provided herein; provided, however, that
notwithstanding any provision of this Section to the contrary, such notice
of change of address shall be deemed given only upon actual receipt
thereof.  Rejection or other refusal to
accept or the inability to deliver because of changed addresses of which no
notice was given as herein required shall be deemed to be receipt of the
notice, demand, statement, request or consent.

 

Section 7.02.  Exhibits Incorporated.  The information set forth on the cover
hereof, and the Exhibits annexed hereto, are hereby incorporated herein as a
part of this Agreement with the same effect as if set forth in the body hereof.

 

Section 7.03.  Severable Provisions.  If any term, covenant or condition of the
Loan Documents including, without limitation, the Note or this Agreement, is
held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect, such Loan Document
shall be construed without such provision.

 

Section 7.04.  Cumulative Rights.  The rights, powers and remedies of Lender
under this Agreement shall be separate, distinct and cumulative and none shall
be given effect to the exclusion of the others. 
No act of Lender shall be construed as an election to proceed under any
one provision herein to the exclusion of any other provision.  Lender shall not be limited exclusively to
the rights and remedies herein stated but shall be entitled, subject to the
terms of this Agreement, to every right and remedy now or hereafter afforded by
law.

 

Section 7.05.  Duplicate Originals.  This Agreement may be executed in any number
of duplicate originals and each such duplicate original shall be deemed to
constitute but one and the same instrument.

 

Section 7.06.  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 specifically and expressly provides 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.

 

53

 

Section 7.07.  Joint and Several Liability.  If Borrower consists of more than one Person,
the obligations and liabilities of each such Person hereunder shall be joint
and several.

 

Section 7.08.  No Oral Change.  The terms of this Agreement, together with
the terms of the Note and the other Loan Documents constitute the entire
understanding and agreement of the parties hereto and supersede all prior
agreements, understandings and negotiations between Borrower and Lender with
respect to the Loan.  This Agreement, and
any provisions hereof, may not be modified, amended, waived, extended, changed,
discharged or terminated orally or by any act on the part of Borrower or
Lender, but only by an agreement in writing signed by the party against whom
enforcement of any modification, amendment, waiver, extension, change,
discharge or termination is sought.

 

Section 7.09.  WAIVER OF COUNTERCLAIMS, ETC.  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, AND WAIVES TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY
ACTION OR PROCEEDING BROUGHT BY EITHER PARTY HERETO AGAINST THE OTHER OR IN ANY
COUNTERCLAIM BORROWER MAY BE PERMITTED TO ASSERT HEREUNDER OR WHICH MAY BE
ASSERTED BY LENDER OR ITS AGENTS, AGAINST BORROWER, OR IN ANY MATTERS
WHATSOEVER ARISING OUT OF OR IN ANY WAY CONNECTED WITH THIS AGREEMENT OR THE
DEBT.

 

Section 7.10.  Headings; Construction of Documents, etc.  The headings and captions of various
paragraphs of this Agreement are for convenience of reference only and are not
to be construed as defining or limiting, in any way, the scope or intent of the
provisions hereof.  Borrower acknowledges
that it was represented by competent counsel in connection with the negotiation
and drafting of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and that neither this
Agreement nor the other Loan Documents shall be subject to the principle of
construing the meaning against the Person who drafted same.

 

Section 7.11.  Sole Discretion of Lender.  Whenever Lender exercises any right given to
it to approve or disapprove, or any arrangement or term is to be satisfactory
to Lender, the decision of Lender to approve or disapprove or to decide that
arrangements or terms are satisfactory or not satisfactory shall be in the sole
discretion of Lender and shall be final and conclusive, except as may be
otherwise specifically provided herein.

 

Section 7.12.  APPLICABLE LAW.  THIS AGREEMENT WAS NEGOTIATED IN THE STATE OF
NEW YORK AND MADE BY BORROWER AND ACCEPTED BY LENDER IN THE STATE OF NEW YORK AND
THE PROCEEDS OF THE NOTE WERE DISBURSED FROM THE STATE OF NEW YORK WHICH STATE
THE PARTIES AGREE HAS A SUBSTANTIAL RELATIONSHIP TO THE PARTIES AND TO THE
UNDERLYING TRANSACTION EMBODIED HEREBY, AND IN ALL RESPECTS, INCLUDING, WITHOUT
LIMITING THE GENERALITY OF THE FOREGOING, MATTERS OF CONSTRUCTION, VALIDITY AND
PERFORMANCE.  THIS AGREEMENT AND THE
OBLIGATIONS ARISING HEREUNDER SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED 

 

54

 

IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAWS OF
THE STATE OF NEW YORK APPLICABLE TO CONTRACTS MADE AND PERFORMED IN SUCH STATE AND
ANY APPLICABLE LAW OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA.

 

Section 7.13.  Actions and Proceedings.  Lender has the right to appear in and defend
any action or proceeding brought with respect to the Collateral in its own name
or, if required by Legal Requirements or, if in Lender’s reasonable judgment,
it is necessary, in the name and on behalf of Borrower, which Lender believes
will adversely affect the Collateral or this Agreement and to bring any action
or proceedings, in its name or in the name and on behalf of Borrower, which
Lender, in its discretion, decides should be brought to protect its interest in
the Note, this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.

 

Section 7.14.  Usury Laws.  This Agreement and the Note are subject to
the express condition, and it is the expressed intent of the parties, that at
no time shall Borrower be obligated or required to pay interest on the
principal balance due under the Note at a rate which could subject the holder
of the Note to either civil or criminal liability as a result of being in
excess of the maximum interest rate which Borrower is permitted by law to
contract or agree to pay.  If by the
terms of this Agreement or the Note, Borrower is at any time required or
obligated to pay interest on the principal balance due under the Note at a rate
in excess of such maximum rate, such rate of interest shall be deemed to be
immediately reduced to such maximum rate and the interest payable shall be
computed at such maximum rate and all prior interest payments in excess of such
maximum rate shall be applied and shall be deemed to have been payments in
reduction of the principal balance of the Note. 
No application to the principal balance of the Note pursuant to this Section shall
give rise to any requirement to pay any prepayment fee or charge of any kind
due hereunder, if any.

 

Section 7.15.  Remedies of Borrower.  In the event that a claim or adjudication is
made that Lender has acted unreasonably or unreasonably delayed acting in any
case where by law or under the Note, this Agreement or the Loan Documents, it
has an obligation to act reasonably or promptly, Lender shall not be liable for
any monetary damages, and Borrower’s remedies shall be limited to injunctive
relief or declaratory judgment.

 

Section 7.16.  Offsets, Counterclaims and Defenses.  Any assignee of this Agreement and the Note
shall take the same free and clear of all offsets, counterclaims or defenses
which are unrelated to the Note or this Agreement which Borrower may otherwise
have against any assignor of this Agreement and the Note 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 this Agreement or the
Note 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 7.17.  Restoration of Rights.  In case Lender shall have proceeded to
enforce any right under this Agreement and such proceedings shall have been
discontinued or abandoned for any reason or shall have been determined
adversely, then, in every such case, Borrower and 

 

55

 

Lender shall be restored to
their former positions and rights hereunder with respect to the Collateral
subject to the lien hereof.

 

Section 7.18.  Waiver of Statute of Limitations.  The pleadings of any statute of limitations
as a defense to any and all obligations secured by this Agreement are hereby
waived to the full extent permitted by Legal Requirements.

 

Section 7.19.  Advances.  This Agreement shall cover any and all
advances made pursuant to the Loan Documents, rearrangements and renewals of
the Loan and all extensions in the time of payment thereof, even though such
advances, extensions or renewals be evidenced by new promissory notes or other
instruments hereafter executed and irrespective of whether filed or
recorded.  Likewise, the execution of
this Agreement shall not impair or affect any other security which may be given
to secure the payment of the Loan, and all such additional security shall be
considered as cumulative.  The taking of
additional security, execution of partial releases of the security, or any
extension of time of payment of the Loan shall not diminish the force, effect
or lien of this Agreement and shall not affect or impair the liability of
Borrower and shall not affect or impair the liability of any maker, surety, or
endorser for the payment of the Loan.

 

Section 7.20.  Application of Default Rate Not a Waiver.  Application of the Default Rate shall not be
deemed to constitute a waiver of any Default or Event of Default or any rights
or remedies of Lender under this Agreement, any other Loan Document or
applicable Legal Requirements, or a consent to any extension of time for the
payment or performance of any obligation with respect to which the Default Rate
may be invoked.

 

Section 7.21.  Intervening Lien.  To the fullest extent permitted by law, any
agreement hereafter made pursuant to this Agreement shall be superior to the
rights of the holder of any intervening lien.

 

Section 7.22.  No Joint Venture or Partnership.  Borrower and Lender intend that the
relationship created hereunder be solely that of pledgor and pledgee or
borrower and lender, as the case may be. 
Nothing herein is intended to create a joint venture or partnership
relationship between Borrower and Lender nor to grant Lender any interest in
the Collateral other than that of pledgee or lender.

 

Section 7.23.  Time of the Essence.  Time shall be of the essence in the
performance of all obligations of Borrower hereunder.

 

Section 7.24.  Borrower’s Obligations Absolute.  Borrower acknowledges that Lender and/or
certain Affiliates of Lender are engaged in the business of financing, owning,
operating, leasing, managing, and brokering real estate and in other business
ventures which may be viewed as adverse to or competitive with the business,
prospect, profits, operations or condition (financial or otherwise) of
Borrower.  Except as set forth to the
contrary in the Loan Documents, all sums payable by Borrower hereunder shall be
paid without notice or demand, counterclaim, set-off, deduction or defense and
without abatement, suspension, deferment, diminution or reduction, and the
obligations and liabilities of Borrower hereunder shall in no way be released, 

 

56

 

discharged, or otherwise
affected (except as expressly provided herein) by reason of:  (a) any bankruptcy proceeding relating
to Owner, Senior Mezz Borrower, Borrower, any General Partner, or any
indemnitor, or any action taken with respect to this Agreement or any other
Loan Document by any trustee or receiver of Owner, Senior Mezz Borrower, Borrower
or any such General Partner or indemnitor, or by any court, in any such
proceeding; (b) any claim which Borrower has or might have against Lender;
(c) any default or failure on the part of Lender to perform or comply with
any of the terms hereof or of any other agreement with Borrower; or (d) any
other occurrence whatsoever, whether similar or dissimilar to the foregoing,
whether or not Borrower shall have notice or knowledge of any of the foregoing.

 

Section 7.25.  Publicity.  All promotional news releases, publicity or
advertising by Borrower or its Affiliates through any media intended to reach
the general public shall not refer to the Loan Documents or the financing
evidenced by the Loan Documents, or to Lender or to any of its Affiliates
without the prior written approval of Lender or such Affiliate, as applicable,
in each instance, such approval not to be unreasonably withheld or
delayed.  Lender shall be authorized to
provide information relating to the Collateral, the Loan and matters relating
thereto to rating agencies, underwriters, potential securities investors,
auditors, regulatory authorities and to any Persons which may be entitled to
such information by operation of law and may use basic transaction information
(including, without limitation, the name of Borrower, the name and address of
the Premises and the Loan Amount) in press releases or other marketing
materials.

 

Section 7.26.  Securitization Opinions.  In the event the Loan is included as an asset
of a Securitization by Lender or any of its Affiliates, Borrower shall, within fifteen
(15) Business Days after Lender’s written request therefor, at Lender’s sole
cost and expense, deliver opinions in form and substance and delivered by
counsel reasonably acceptable to Lender and the Rating Agency, as may be
reasonably required by Lender and/or the Rating Agency in connection with such
securitization.  Borrower’s failure to
deliver the opinions required hereby within such fifteen (15) Business Day
period shall constitute an “Event of Default” hereunder.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event
shall Borrower be required to deliver a “10b-5 opinion” in connection with any
Securitization.  Notwithstanding the
foregoing, Borrower shall, upon demand, reimburse Lender for up to $10,000 of
the cost incurred by Lender pursuant to the terms of this Section 7.26 and
Lender shall only be obligated to pay reasonable costs and expenses upon
receipt of detailed billing information containing the description of services
rendered, attorneys’ billing rates, number of hours worked and other information
as Lender may reasonably require.

 

Section 7.27.  Sale of Loan, Participations,
Securitization.  (a) Nothing
contained in this Agreement shall be construed as preventing Lender, at any
time after the date hereof, from selling, pledging, assigning or transferring
the Note and in connection with any such sale, pledge, assignment or transfer
from assigning this Agreement and transferring possession of the Collateral, if
any, in Lender’s possession, to the purchaser of the Note.  Upon any sale, pledge, assignment or transfer
of the Note and upon assignment of this Agreement and a transfer in connection
therewith of possession of the Collateral, if any, in Lender’s possession to
the purchaser of the Note, Lender shall be released and discharged from any liability
or 

 

57

 

responsibility with respect to
the Loan Documents and references to “Lender” in this Agreement shall,
with respect to any matters thereafter occurring, be deemed to be references to
the purchaser of the Note.  Borrower or
any agent of Borrower acting on its behalf shall maintain at its offices a copy
of each notice of a sale, pledge, assignment or other transfer of the Loan or a
portion thereof as a whole loan delivered to it and a register (the “Register”) for the recordation of the names and addresses of each
Lender and the principal amount of the Loan or portion thereof owing to each
Lender from time to time.  The entries in
the Register shall be conclusive, in the absence of manifest error, and
Borrower may treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register as the
owner of the Loan or portion thereof recorded therein, hereunder for all
purposes of this Agreement.  A sale,
pledge, assignment or other transfer of the Loan or a portion thereof as a
whole loan, whether or not evidenced by a Note, shall be effective only upon
appropriate entries with respect thereto being made in the Register (and, if
applicable, each Note shall expressly so provide).  The Register shall be available for inspection
by each Lender at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable
prior notice.  Borrower hereby appoints
Lender as its agent to maintain the Register and Lender hereby accepts such
appointment.  Lender shall indemnify and
hold harmless Borrower for any losses resulting from Lender’s failure to
maintain the Register and no failure by Lender, as Borrower’s agent (solely for
the purposes of maintaining the Register), shall result in a default hereunder
or under any other Loan Document or otherwise subject Borrower to any
liability.

 

(b)           Borrower
acknowledges that Lender may on or after the Closing Date sell and assign
participation interests in and to the Loan, or pledge, hypothecate or encumber,
or sell and assign all or any portion of the Loan, to or with such domestic or
foreign banks, insurance companies, pension funds, trusts or other
institutional lenders or other Persons, parties or investors (including,
without limitation, grantor trusts, owner trusts, special purpose corporations,
real estate investment trusts or other similar or comparable investment
vehicles) as may be selected by Lender in its sole and absolute discretion and
on terms and conditions satisfactory to Lender in its sole and absolute
discretion.  Borrower and all Affiliates
of Borrower shall cooperate in all respects with Lender in connection with the
sale of participation interests in, or the pledge, hypothecation or encumbrance
or sale of all or any portion of, the Loan, and shall, in connection therewith,
at Borrower’s sole cost and expense with respect to the first request made by
Lender following the Closing Date and at Lender’s expense for any additional
requests thereafter, execute and deliver such estoppels, certificates,
instruments and documents as may be reasonably requested by Lender.  Borrower grants to Lender the right to
distribute financial and other information concerning Borrower, the Collateral,
and all other pertinent information with respect to the Loan to any Person who
has purchased a participation interest in the Loan, or who has purchased the
Loan, or who has made a loan to Lender secured by the Loan or who has expressed
an interest in purchasing a participation interest in the Loan, or expressed an
interest in purchasing the Loan or the making of a loan to Lender secured by
the Loan.  If requested by Lender,
Borrower shall execute and deliver, and shall cause each Affiliate of Borrower
to execute and deliver, at no cost or expense to Borrower, such documents and
instruments as may be necessary to split the Loan into two or more loans
evidenced by separate sets of notes and secured by separate sets of other
related Loan Documents to the full extent required by Lender to facilitate the
sale of participation interests in the Loan or the sale of the 

 

58

 

Loan or the making of a loan to Lender
secured by the Loan, it being agreed that (a) any such splitting of the
Loan will not adversely affect or diminish the rights of Borrower as presently
set forth herein and in the other Loan Documents and will not increase the
respective obligations and liabilities of Borrower or any other Person
associated or connected with the Loan or the Collateral, (b) the Loan
Documents securing the Loan as so split will have such priority of lien as may
be specified by Lender, and (c) the retained interest of Lender in the
Loan as so split shall be allocated to or among one or more of such separate
loans in a manner specified by Lender in its sole and absolute discretion.  From and after the effective date of any
assignment of all or any portion of the Loan to any Person (an “Assignee”)
(a) such Assignee shall be a party hereto and to each of the other Loan
Documents to the extent of the applicable percentage or percentages assigned to
such Assignee and, except as otherwise specified herein, shall succeed to the
rights and obligations of Lender hereunder in respect of such applicable
percentage or percentages and (b) Lender shall relinquish its rights and
be released from its obligations hereunder and under the Loan Documents to the
extent of such applicable percentage or percentages.  The liabilities of Lender and each of the
other Assignees shall be separate and not joint and several.  Neither Lender nor any Assignee shall be
responsible for the obligations of any other Assignee.  Borrower acknowledges that the information
provided by Borrower to Lender may be incorporated into the offering documents
for a Securitization and to the fullest extent permitted, Borrower irrevocably
waives all rights, if any, to prohibit such disclosures including, without
limitation, any right of privacy.  Lender
and each Rating Agency shall be entitled to rely on the information supplied
by, or on behalf of, Borrower and Borrower indemnifies Lender as to any
liabilities, obligations, claims, damages, penalties, causes of action, costs
and expenses, (including, without limitation, reasonable attorney’s fees and
expenses, whether incurred within or outside the judicial process) that arise
out of or are based upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of
any material fact contained in such information or arise out of or are based
upon the omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required
to be stated in such information or necessary in order to make the statements
in such information, or in light of the circumstances under which they were
made, not misleading.

 

(c)           Lender,
at its option, may elect to effect a Securitization by means of the issuance of
certificates of interest therein or notes secured thereby (the “Securities”)
rated by one or more Rating Agencies.  In
such event and upon request by Lender to seek to effect such a Securitization,
Borrower shall promptly thereafter cooperate in all reasonable respects with
Lender in the Securitization including, without limitation, providing such

regard to any other defenses or offset rights Owner may have against Mortgage

pay all or any part of the Mortgage Loan and/or Senior Mezz Loan, and any other
sums, that are then due and payable and to perform any act or take any action
on behalf of Owner and/or Senior Mezz Borrower, as applicable, as may be
appropriate, to cause all of the terms, covenants and conditions of the

deem advisable to protect or preserve the rights and interests of Lender in the

under the Loan Documents or applicable law.

 

(b)           Subject
to the rights of tenants, Borrower hereby grants, and shall cause Owner to
grant, Lender and any Person designated by Lender the right to enter upon the Premises
at any time for the purpose of carrying out the rights granted to Lender under
this Section 7.29.  Borrower shall
not, and shall not cause or permit Owner or any other Person to impede,
interfere with, hinder or delay, any effort or action on the part of Lender to
cure any Event of Default under the Mortgage Loan and/or the Senior Mezz Loan as
permitted by this Section 7.29, or to otherwise protect or preserve Lender’s
interests in the Loan and the Collateral, including the Premises in accordance
with the provisions of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.

 

(c)           Borrower
hereby indemnifies Lender from and against all out-of-pocket liabilities,
obligations, losses, damages, penalties, assessments, actions, or causes of
action, judgments, suits, claims, demands, costs, expenses (including, without
limitation, reasonable attorneys’ and other professional fees, whether or not
suit is brought, and settlement costs), and disbursements of any kind or nature
whatsoever which may be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against Lender as a
result of the foregoing actions described in Section 7.29(a) or (b) other
than as a result of gross negligence or willful misconduct of Lender.  Lender shall have no obligation to Borrower,
Owner or any other party to make any such payment or performance.

 

(d)           If
Lender shall receive a copy of any notice of default under the Mortgage Loan
Documents sent by Mortgage Lender to Owner or under the Senior Mezz Loan
Documents sent by Senior Mezz Lender to Senior Mezz Borrower, such notice shall
constitute full protection to Lender for any action taken or omitted to be
taken by Lender, in good faith, in reliance thereon.  As a material inducement to Lender’s making
the Loan, Borrower hereby absolutely and unconditionally releases and waives
all claims against Lender arising out of Lender’s exercise of its rights and
remedies provided in this Section other than claims arising out of the
fraud, illegal acts, gross negligence or willful misconduct of Lender.

 

Section 7.30.  Discussions With Mortgage Lender; Etc.  In connection with the exercise of its rights
set forth in the Loan Documents, Lender shall have the right at any time to
discuss the Premises, the Mortgage Loan, the Loan, the Senior Mezz Loan or any
other matter directly with Mortgage Lender Senior Mezz Lender or Mortgage

from Borrower, nor shall Lender have any obligation to disclose such
discussions or the contents thereof with Borrower.

 

Section 7.31.  Independent Approval Rights.  If any action, proposed action or other
decision is consented to or approved by Mortgage Lender or Senior Mezz Lender,
such consent or approval shall not be binding or controlling on Lender.  Borrower hereby acknowledges and agrees that (a) the
risks of Mortgage Lender in making the Mortgage Loan and the risks of Senior
Mezz Lender in making the Senior Mezz Loan are different from the risks of
Lender in making the Loan, (b) in determining whether to grant, deny,
withhold or condition any requested consent or approval Mortgage Lender, Senior
Mezz Lender and Lender may reasonably reach different conclusions, and (c) Lender
has an absolute independent right to grant, deny, withhold or condition any
requested consent or approval based on its own point of view in accordance 

 

61

 

with the terms hereof.  Further, the denial by Lender of a requested
consent or approval in accordance with the Loan Documents shall not create any
liability or other obligation of Lender if the denial of such consent or
approval results directly or indirectly in a default under the Mortgage Loan
and/or the Senior Mezz Loan, and Borrower hereby waives any claim of liability
against Lender arising from any such denial.

 

Section 7.32.  Reinstatement.  This Agreement and each other Loan Document
shall continue to be effective or be reinstated, as the case may be, if at any
time payment and performance of the Debt or any part thereof, is, pursuant to
applicable law, rescinded or reduced in amount, or must otherwise be restored
or returned by Borrower, whether as a “voidable preference”, “fraudulent
conveyance”, or otherwise, all as though such payment or performance had not
been made.  In the event that any
payment, or any part thereof, is rescinded, reduced, restored or returned, the
Debt shall be reinstated and deemed reduced only by such amount paid and not so
rescinded, reduced, restored or returned.

shall continue to secure all of the Debt; (p) impair the right of Lender to
bring suit for monetary judgment with respect to damages incurred by Lender

identification number, without first giving Lender thirty (30) days prior
written notice or (s) impair the right of Lender to bring suit for a monetary

judgment in the event that

written notice thereof.  The provisions
of this Section shall be inapplicable to Borrower if (a) any
proceeding, action, petition or filing under the Bankruptcy Code, or any
similar state or federal law now or hereafter in effect relating to bankruptcy,
reorganization or insolvency, or the arrangement or adjustment of debts, shall
be filed by, consented to or acquiesced in by or with respect to Borrower, or

or any Affiliate contests or in any material way interferes with, directly or
indirectly (collectively, a “Contest”) any UCC sale or other material
remedy exercised by Lender upon the occurrence of any Event of Default under
the Loan Documents whether by making any motion, bringing any counterclaim,
claiming any defense, seeking any injunction or other restraint, commencing any
action, or otherwise (provided that if any such Person obtains a non-appealable
order successfully asserting a Contest, Borrower shall have no liability under
this clause (b)) or (c) Borrower (i) fails to cause Owner to deliver
notice of default under the Ground Lease to Lender or any other Person
designated in writing by Lender or (ii) fails to prevent Owner from amending
or modifying the Ground Lease without the prior written consent of Lender, in

CONSENT AND WAIVER

 

As a material inducement for Lender to enter
into the Loan and Security Agreement (“Loan Agreement”) dated June 29, 2005
between MMRDH INTERMEDIATE MEZZ HOLDING COMPANY LLC (“Borrower”) and WACHOVIA
BANK, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION (“Lender”), and for valuable consideration, the
receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, the undersigned, as of
the 29th day of June, 2005, hereby consents to the pledge of the Collateral
contained in the Loan Agreement and ratifies all encumbrances and terms
contained therein.

 

The undersigned agrees that, by acceptance of
the Loan Agreement, Lender assumes no obligations with respect to the Pledged
Entities or to the constituent members, partners, or shareholders in the
Pledged Entities and, without the prior written consent of Lender, the
undersigned shall not: (a) terminate or materially amend or modify the
Organizational Documents of the Pledged Entities or consent thereto; or (b) take
any action that would operate to dilute the interest of Borrower in the Pledged
Entities.

 

The undersigned agrees that, upon written
notice from Lender stating that an Event of Default has occurred under the Loan
Agreement, all Distributions, dividends, or other sums payable to Borrower in
connection with the Pledged Entities shall be made payable to and delivered to
Lender.  The undersigned further agrees
that, upon written notice from Lender that it has foreclosed the Loan Agreement
following an Event of Default, Borrower shall be removed as a manager, managing
member or general partner in the Pledged Entity, as applicable, and replaced
with the assignee designated in such notice, which assignee shall be Lender or
its nominee.  In connection therewith,
the undersigned agrees to request (and use reasonable efforts to ensure) that
Lender is provided with a written statement of Borrower’s defaults under the
Organizational Documents and agrees that Lender be entitled to rely on such
statement in determining whether to become a substitute member, shareholder or
partner in the applicable Pledged Entity. 
If Lender so requests, the undersigned covenants and agrees to consent
to the execution of an amendment to the Organizational Documents to reflect any
such assignee’s substitution in place of Borrower, as applicable.

 

The undersigned further consents and agrees
to (a) Borrower’s assignment to Lender for security purposes, of Borrower’s
Equity Interests, (b) any foreclosure and/or subsequent sale by Lender or
its nominee of its rights with respect to such Equity Interests and the
substitution of Lender or nominee of its rights with respect to such Equity
Interests, (c) the exercise of any remedy by Lender or its nominee under
the Loan Agreement and (d) notwithstanding anything to the contrary
contained in the Organizational Documents of the Pledged Entities, Lender, its
nominee or any third-party purchaser at a foreclosure sale becoming a member,
partner or shareholder, or a substitute manager, managing member or general
partner, as applicable, in a Pledged Entity, with all of the rights enjoyed by
Borrower prior to such foreclosure.  Any
such foreclosure will not require any further consent of the undersigned or any
other member, shareholder, or partner in the applicable Pledged Entity and will
not cause the dissolution of any LLC or Partnership.

 

The undersigned agrees that neither the
execution and delivery of the Loan Agreement, the enforcement by Lender of any
of its rights thereunder, nor the transfer (or agreement to 

 

 

transfer) by Lender of any of its rights in
the Pledged Entities or under the Loan Agreement shall constitute a default
under the Organizational Documents, and the undersigned expressly waives any
rights it may have under the Organizational Documents as a result of the
foregoing.  The undersigned hereby waives
any and all rights under the Organizational Documents which, whether exercised
by the undersigned or not, would prevent, inhibit or interfere with the
granting of a security interest in the Collateral to Lender, the foreclosure of
such security interest in the Collateral by Lender or the full realization by
Lender of any of its other rights under the Loan Agreement.

 

The undersigned acknowledges that Lender is
materially relying on the undersigned’s execution of this Consent and Waiver in
entering into the Loan Agreement and the other Loan Documents.

 

All capitalized terms not otherwise defined
herein shall have the meaning set forth in the Loan Agreement.

 

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the undersigned has duly
executed this consent and waiver as of this 29th day of June, 2005.
