4.  Default Under Subordinate Loan Documents.

(a)           Notice of Default and Cure Rights. The Subordinate Lender agrees to deliver a Default Notice to the Senior Lender within three (3) Business Days after any Subordinate Loan Default, but only in those instances where (i) the Subordinate Lender actually has given notice to the Borrower or (ii) the Subordinate Lender is not required to provide notice to the Borrower in order to exercise its remedies available upon a Subordinate Loan Default; provided, that in the event the Subordinate Loan Default was already included in the Default Notice, the Subordinate Lender shall not be obligated to provide any additional Default Notice. Upon the date of delivery by the Subordinate Lender to the Senior Lender of a Default Notice (or the expiration of the three (3) day period in which the Subordinate Lender is required to provide such Default Notice), a Standstill Period shall commence without further action by any party. The Senior Lender shall have the right, but not the obligation, to cure any Subordinate Loan Default within the same time period for curing a default which is given to the Borrower under the Subordinate Loan Documents, except that the Senior Lender's time period for cure shall begin on the date on which it receives the Default Notice from the Subordinate Lender; provided, however that the Subordinate Lender shall be entitled to continue under the Subordinate Loan Documents to pursue its rights and remedies to the fullest extent of the law (except as provided otherwise herein). All amounts advanced or expended by the Senior Lender in accordance with the Senior Loan Documents to cure a Subordinate Loan Default shall be deemed to have been advanced by the Senior Lender pursuant to, and shall be secured by the lien of, the Senior Security Instrument.

(b)           Cross Default. The Borrower and the Subordinate Lender agree that a Subordinate Loan Default shall, automatically and without further action by any party hereto, constitute a Senior Loan Default, and the Senior Lender shall have the right to exercise all rights or remedies under the Senior Loan Documents in the same manner as in the case of any other default thereunder. If the Subordinate Lender notifies the Senior Lender that any Subordinate Loan Default of which the Senior Lender has received a Default Notice has been cured or waived, as determined by the Subordinate Lender in its sole discretion, then provided that Senior Lender has not conducted, or caused to be conducted, a sale of the Property pursuant to its rights under the Senior Loan Documents, any default under the Senior Loan Documents arising solely from such Subordinate Loan Default shall be deemed cured and the Senior Loan shall be reinstated; provided, however, that the Senior Lender shall not be required to return or otherwise credit for the benefit of the Borrower any default rate interest or other payments received by the Senior Lender during such Senior Loan Default.

5.  Default Under Senior Loan Documents.

(a)           Notice of Default and Cure Rights. The Senior Lender shall deliver to the Subordinate Lender a Default Notice within three (3) Business Days after notice of the Senior Loan Default has been given to the Borrower, but only in those instances where (i) the Senior Lender actually has given notice to the Borrower or (ii) the Senior Lender is not required to provide notice to the Borrower in order to exercise its remedies available upon a Senior Loan Default; provided, that the Senior Lender shall not deliver a Default Notice (x) with respect to any Event of Default under the Senior Loan Documents other than a payment default more than 3 times in any 365 consecutive days or (y) on the basis of any Event of Default that existed as of the date of the giving of a prior Default Notice. Failure of the Senior Lender to send a Default Notice to the Subordinate Lender shall not prevent the exercise of the Senior Lender's rights and remedies under the Senior Loan Documents, subject to the provisions of this Agreement. Upon the date of delivery by the Senior Lender to the Subordinate Lender of a Default Notice (or the expiration of the three (3) day period in which the Senior Lender is required to provide such Default Notice), a Standstill Period shall commence without further action by any party; provided, that no such Standstill Period shall commence if the Event of Default giving rise to the Default Notice was the basis of a previous Standstill Period which has expired. The Subordinate Lender shall have the right, but not the obligation, during such Standstill Period, to cure any such Senior Loan Default; provided, however, that the Senior Lender shall be entitled, during such Standstill Period, to initiate remedies under the Senior Loan Documents without notice to or consultation with the Subordinate Lender. If the Subordinate Lender elects to cure such default, upon completion of such cure the Senior Loan Documents shall be reinstated, nunc pro tunc, and any judicial proceedings initiated against the Property shall be dismissed. Senior Lender further agrees that any non-monetary default by the Borrower that the Subordinate Lender has initiated action to cure such Borrower default but that cannot be cured within the Standstill Period will be suspended for an additional six (6) month if Subordinate Lender keeps current all payments required by the Senior Loan Documents. All amounts paid by the Subordinate Lender to the Senior Lender to cure a Senior Loan default shall be deemed to have been advanced by the Subordinate Lender pursuant to, and shall be secured by the lien of, the Subordinate Security Instrument.

  

4

  

 

(b)           Cross Default. The Borrower and the Senior Lender agree that a Senior Loan Default shall constitute a default under the Subordinate Loan Documents. If at any time the Borrower cures any Senior Loan Default to the satisfaction of the Senior Lender in its sole discretion, any default under the Subordinate Loan Documents arising from such Senior Loan Default shall be deemed cured and upon notice of same from Senior Lender to Subordinate Lender, the Subordinate Loan shall be reinstated; provided, however, that the Subordinate Lender shall not be required to return or otherwise credit for the benefit of the Borrower any default rate interest or other payments received by the Subordinate Lender during such default period. All expenses incurred by Subordinate Lender in pursuing its remedies during any default period shall be the obligation of the Borrower in accordance with the Subordinate Loan Documents.

(c)           Standstill Period and Default. For so long as a Standstill Period is in effect, and until any Senior Loan Default and/or Subordinate Loan Default giving rise to such Standstill Period has been remedied to the satisfaction of or waived by the Senior Lender:

(1)             except with respect to any equity securities received by the Subordinate Lender upon conversion or satisfaction of any part or all of the Subordinate Loans, the Subordinate Lender shall promptly deliver to the Senior Lender in the form received (except for endorsement or assignment by such Subordinate Lender where required by the Senior Lender) for application to the Senior Loan any payment, distribution, security or proceeds received with respect to the Subordinate Loans; and

(2)             the Subordinate Lender shall not take any legal action, initiate any legal proceeding, issue any demands or otherwise seek to collect on the Subordinate Notes or enforce its rights under the Subordinate Security Instrument other than (a) filing a claim or statement of interest with respect to the Subordinate Loans, (b) filing any necessary responsive or defensive pleadings in opposition to a motion, claim, adversary proceeding or other pleading made by any person objecting to or otherwise seeking the disallowance of the claims under the Subordinate Loan Agreements, (c) filing any pleadings, objections motions or agreements which assert rights or interests available to unsecured creditors of the Borrower arising under the Bankruptcy Code (including, without limitation, the filing and/or voting proofs of claim, and voting to confirm a plan of reorganization, in connection with a legal proceeding) or applicable non-bankruptcy law, in each case not inconsistent with this Agreement. The parties hereto acknowledge and agree that the statute of limitations with respect to any claim that the Subordinate Lender may have against the Borrower but that cannot be brought or prosecuted as a result of the Standstill Period shall be tolled for and extended by the duration of the Standstill Period.

6. Conflict. The Borrower, the Senior Lender and the Subordinate Lender each agree that, in the event of any conflict or inconsistency between the terms of the Senior Loan Documents, the Subordinate Loan Documents and the terms of this Agreement, the terms of this Agreement shall govern and control as to (a) the relative priority of the security interests of the Senior Lender and the Subordinate Lender in the Property; (b) the timing of the exercise of remedies by the Senior Lender and the Subordinate Lender under the Senior Security Instrument and the Subordinate Security Instrument, respectively; and (c) solely as between the Senior Lender and the Subordinate Lender, the notice requirements, cure rights, and the other rights and obligations to which the Senior Lender and the Subordinate Lender have agreed as expressly provided in this Agreement. Borrower acknowledges that the terms and provisions of this Agreement shall not, and shall not be deemed to (i) extend Borrower's time to cure any Senior Loan Default or Subordinate Loan Default, as the case may be, (ii) give the Borrower the right to notice of any Senior Loan Default or Subordinate Loan Default, as the case may be, or (iii) create any other right or benefit for Borrower as against Senior Lender or Subordinate Lender.

  

5

  

 

7. Rights and Obligations of the Subordinate Lender Under the Subordinate Loan Documents and Senior Lender under the Senior Loan Documents.

Subject to each of the other terms of this Agreement, all of the following provisions shall supersede any provisions of the Subordinate Loan Documents and the Senior Loan Documents covering the same subject matter:

(a)           Protection of Security Interest. The Senior Lender shall not, without the prior written consent of the Subordinate Lender in each instance, take any action which has the effect of increasing the indebtedness in excess of $4,500,000, or secured by the Senior Loan Documents, except that the Senior Lender shall have the right (i) to advance funds to cure Senior Loan Defaults or Subordinate Loan Defaults pursuant to Sections 4 and 5 above, and (ii) to advance funds pursuant to the Senior Security Instrument for the purpose of paying real estate taxes and insurance premiums, making necessary repairs to the Property and curing other defaults by the Borrower under the Senior Loan Documents; provided, that the total advances under clauses (i) and (ii) above shall not exceed $1,000,000 in the aggregate (collectively, the “Permitted Overages”), and, in each case, such Permitted Overages shall increase the amount of the Senior Loan notwithstanding the maximum amount set forth above.

(b)           Condemnation or Casualty. In the event of (i) a taking or threatened taking by condemnation or other exercise of eminent domain of all or a portion of the Property (collectively, a "Taking"), or (ii) the occurrence of a fire or other casualty resulting in damage to all or a portion of the Property (collectively, a "Casualty"), at any time or times when the Senior Security Instrument remains a lien on the Property the following provisions shall apply:

(1)             The Subordinate Lender hereby agrees that its rights (under the Subordinate Loan Documents or otherwise) to participate in any proceeding or action relating to a Taking and/or a Casualty, or to participate or join in any settlement of, or to adjust, any claims resulting from a Taking or a Casualty shall be and remain subordinate in all respects to the Senior Lender's rights under the Senior Loan Documents with respect thereto, and the Subordinate Lender shall be bound by any settlement or adjustment of a claim resulting from a Taking or a Casualty made by the Senior Lender;

(2)             All proceeds received or to be received on account of a Taking or a

Casualty, or both, shall be applied (either to payment of the costs and expenses of repair and restoration and/or to payment of the Senior Loan) in the manner determined by the Senior Lender in its sole discretion; provided, however, that if the Senior Lender elects to apply such proceeds to payment of the principal of, interest on and other amounts payable under the Senior Loan, any proceeds remaining after the satisfaction in full of the principal of, interest on and other amounts payable under the Senior Loan shall be paid to, and may be applied by, the Subordinate Lender in accordance with the applicable provisions of the Subordinate Loan Documents; provided however, the Senior Lender agrees to consult with the Subordinate Lender in determining the application of Casualty proceeds; provided further however, that in the event of any disagreement between the Senior Lender and the Subordinate Lender over the application of Casualty proceeds, the decision of the Senior Lender, in its reasonable discretion, shall prevail; and

 

(3)             Both the Senior Lender and the Subordinate Lender agree to execute and deliver, at no expense to the other, all documents, instruments, agreements or further assurances required to effectuate the provisions of this subsection.

  

6

  

 

(c)           No Modification of Senior Loan Documents. The Borrower and the Senior Lender each agree that, while this Agreement is in effect, they will not, without the prior written consent of the Subordinate Lender in each instance make any other modification which would (i) increase the interest rates on the Senior Debt to an amount greater than 6% per annum above rates as in effect on the date hereof, (ii) change the final maturity date of the Senior Loans to a date later than the originally scheduled maturity date of the Subordinate Loan, (iii) increase the principal amount of the Senior Loan in excess of the amount provided for in this Agreement, (iv) modify or add a covenant or event of default under the Senior Loan Documents which directly restricts the Borrower from making payments under the Subordinate Loan Documents which would otherwise be permitted hereunder and under the Senior Loan Documents as of the date hereof, or (v) modify the Senior Loan Documents in a manner which would materially and adversely affect the Subordinate Lender except as expressly permitted by this Agreement.

(d)           No Modification of Subordinate Loan Documents. The Borrower and the Subordinate Lender each agree that, until the principal of, interest on and all other amounts payable under the Senior Loan Documents have been paid in full, they will not, without the prior written consent of the Senior Lender in each instance (i) take any action which would result in an increase in the total indebtedness other than the receipt of payment in kind interest, or (ii) make any other modification to the Subordinate Loan Documents which would materially and adversely affect the Senior Lender.

(e)           Refinance of the Senior Loans by Senior Lender. The Senior Lender reserves the right to refinance the existing balance of the Senior Loan and to make future advances to the Borrower from time to time which, when added to the principal balance then outstanding under the Senior Loan shall not exceed a total of $4,500,000, provided that any Permitted Overages shall not be counted in determining the amount of the Senior Loan under this section for purposes of considering whether the $4,500,000 maximum has been reached. The Senior Lender agrees to provide to the Subordinate Lender prompt notice in writing of each such future advance.

(f)           Buyout of Senior Loan.

8. Dissolution, Liquidation, Reorganization or Bankruptcy.

 

(a)           In the event of any Proceeding involving the Borrower and/ or its Affiliate during the continuance of any Senior Loan Default or Subordinated Loan Default:

 

(i)              the Senior Loan shall be paid in full before the Subordinated Lender shall be entitled to receive any payment on account of any Subordinated Loan; and

 

(ii)            except as provided in Section 5(c) above, any payment or distribution of assets of such Person of any kind or character, whether in cash, property or securities, to which the Subordinated Lender would be entitled except for these provisions, shall be paid by the liquidating trustee or agent or other Person making such payment or distribution directly to the Senior Lender, to the extent necessary to make payment in full of the Senior Loan remaining unpaid, after giving effect to any concurrent payment or distribution or provision therefor to the holders of such Senior Loan. The Subordinated Lender irrevocably authorizes, empowers and directs any debtor, debtor-in-possession, receiver, trustee or agent or other Person having authority, to pay or otherwise deliver all such payments or distributions to the Senior Lender.

(b)           The Subordinated Lender agrees, in connection with any such Proceeding, that it will not take any action or vote in any way so as to (i) contest the validity of the liens securing the Senior Note, (ii) contest the enforceability of any of the Senior Loan Documents, (iii) contest the Senior Lender’s priority position over the Subordinated Lender created by this Agreement or (iv) except as permitted by Section 5(c) above, take any position or action which would have directly or indirectly any of the following effects: (A) extension of the final maturity of and/or forgiveness, reduction or cram-down of the Senior Loan or deferral of any required payment in respect of Senior Loan, (B) opposing or objecting to initiatives or claims by the Senior Lender for adequate protection or relief from the automatic stay, use of cash collateral or super-priority expense of administration for failure of adequate protection, (C) challenging in any respect treatment of the Senior Loan as a first priority perfected fully secured claim, (D) blocking current payment of any obligation in respect of Senior Indebtedness, (E) assenting to or supporting any requested extension of the exclusivity period for the submission by the Borrower of any plan of reorganization or liquidation under the Bankruptcy Code unless such extension is assented to or supported by the Senior Lender; and (F) opposing or objecting to any sale or lease of any property that has been consented to by the holders of Senior Note. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Subordinate Lender shall be entitled to replacement or supplemental liens to the same extent (and subordinated on the same basis as under this Agreement) in the event the Senior Lender receives replacement or supplemental liens as adequate protection.

 

8. Default by the Subordinate Lender or Senior Lender. If the Subordinate Lender or Senior Lender defaults in performing or observing any of the terms, covenants or conditions to be performed or observed by it under this Agreement, the other shall have the right to all available legal and equitable relief.
