(b)If, pursuant to the terms of Section 2.2.3(a), the Floating Rate Components of Loan have been converted to a Prime Rate Loan but thereafter LIBOR can again be determined as provided in the definition of LIBOR as set forth herein, Lender may give notice thereof to Borrower and convert the Prime Rate Loan back to a LIBOR Loan by delivering to Borrower notice of such conversion no later than 11:00 a.m. (New York City Time), one (1) Business Day prior to the next succeeding Determination Date.  If such notice is given, the Floating Rate Components of the Loan shall be converted, from and after the first day of the next succeeding Interest Period, to a LIBOR Loan bearing interest based on LIBOR in effect on the related Determination Date.  Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, in no event shall Borrower have the right to elect to convert a LIBOR Loan to a Prime Rate Loan.

(c)If any requirement of law or any change therein or in the interpretation or application thereof, in any case after the date hereof, shall hereafter make it unlawful for Lender to make or maintain a LIBOR Loan as contemplated hereunder, (i) the obligation of Lender hereunder to make a LIBOR Loan or to convert a Prime Rate Loan to a LIBOR Loan shall be canceled forthwith and (ii) any outstanding LIBOR Loan shall be converted automatically to a Prime Rate Loan on the first day of the next succeeding Interest Period or within such earlier period as required by law.  Borrower hereby agrees promptly to pay Lender, upon demand, any additional amounts necessary to compensate Lender for any out-of-pocket costs reasonably incurred by Lender in making any conversion in accordance with this Agreement, including, without limitation, any interest or fees payable by Lender to lenders of funds obtained by it in order to make or maintain the LIBOR Loan hereunder.  Lender’s notice of such costs, as certified to Borrower, shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

(iv)shall hereafter impose on Lender any other condition and the result of any of the foregoing is to increase the cost to Lender of making, renewing or maintaining loans or extensions of credit or to reduce any amount receivable hereunder;

then, in any such case, Borrower shall promptly pay Lender, upon demand, any additional amounts necessary to compensate Lender for such additional cost or reduced amount receivable which Lender deems to be material as determined by Lender in its reasonable discretion.  If Lender becomes entitled to claim any additional amounts pursuant to this Section 2.2.3(d), Lender shall provide Borrower with not less than thirty (30) days written notice specifying in reasonable detail the event by reason of which it has become so entitled and the additional amount required to fully compensate Lender for such additional cost or reduced amount.  A certificate as to any additional costs or amounts payable pursuant to the foregoing sentence submitted by Lender to Borrower shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error.  Subject to Section 2.7, this Section 2.2.3(d) shall survive payment of the Debt and the satisfaction of all other Obligations.

2.6.4Application During Event of Default.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein (including Section 2.6.3), upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, Lender, at its option, may apply any Collections then in the possession of Lender, Servicer or the Cash Management Account Bank (including any Reserve Funds on deposit in the Subaccounts) or the Rent Deposit Bank to the payment of the Debt in such order, proportion and priority as Lender may determine in its sole and absolute discretion.  Lender’s right to withdraw and apply any of the foregoing funds shall be in addition to all other rights and remedies provided to Lender under the Loan Documents.

2.6.5Payments Received in the Cash Management Account.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, and provided no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, Borrower’s obligations with respect to the payment of the Monthly Debt Service Payment Amount and amounts required to be deposited into the Reserve Funds, if any, shall be deemed satisfied to the extent sufficient amounts taking into account the order and priority set forth in Section 2.6.2) are deposited in the Cash Management Account to satisfy such obligations pursuant to this Agreement on the dates each such payment is required, regardless of whether any of such amounts are so applied by Lender.

Section 2.7Withholding Taxes.

(a)Payments Free of Taxes.  Any and all payments by or on account of any obligation of the Borrower under any Loan Document shall be made without deduction or withholding for any Taxes, except as required by applicable law.  If any applicable law (as determined in the good faith discretion of the Borrower) requires the deduction or withholding of any Tax from any such payment by the Borrower, then the Borrower shall be entitled to make such deduction or withholding and shall timely pay the full amount deducted or withheld to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law and, if such Tax is an Indemnified Tax, then the sum payable by the Borrower shall be increased as necessary so that after such deduction or withholding has been made (including such deductions and withholdings applicable to additional sums payable under this Section 2.7(a)) the Lender receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deduction or withholding been made.

(b)Payment of Other Taxes by the Borrower.  The Borrower shall timely pay to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law any Other Taxes.

(c)Indemnification by the Borrower.  The Borrower shall indemnify Lender, within 10 days after demand therefor, for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes (including Indemnified Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section) payable or paid by such Lender or required to be withheld or deducted from a payment to such Lender and any reasonable out-of-pocket expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority.  A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to the Borrower by a Lender shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

(d)Evidence of Payments.  As soon as practicable after any payment of Taxes by the Borrower to a Governmental Authority pursuant to this Section 2.7, the Borrower shall deliver to the Lender the original or a certified copy of a receipt issued by such Governmental

- 71 -

 


Authority evidencing such payment, a copy of the return reporting such payment or other evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory to the Lender.

(e)Status of Borrower and Lenders.

(i)Borrower shall not at any time make an election to be treated as a corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes but shall maintain its tax status as either a “disregarded entity” or “partnership” for purposes of U.S. federal income tax purposes.

(ii)Any Lender that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding Tax with respect to payments made under any Loan Document shall deliver to the Borrower, at the time or times reasonably requested by the Borrower, such properly completed and executed documentation reasonably requested by the Borrower as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate of withholding.  In addition, any Lender, if reasonably requested by the Borrower, shall deliver such other documentation prescribed by applicable law or reasonably requested by the Borrower as will enable the Borrower to determine whether or not such Lender is subject to backup withholding or information reporting requirements.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the preceding two sentences, the completion, execution and submission of such documentation (other than such documentation set forth in Section 2.7(e)(ii)(A), (ii)(B) and (ii)(D)) shall not be required if in the Lender’s reasonable judgment such completion, execution or submission would subject such Lender to any material unreimbursed cost or expense or would materially prejudice the legal or commercial position of such Lender.

(iii)Without limiting the generality of the foregoing,

(A)any Lender that is a U.S. Person shall deliver to the Borrower on or prior to the date on which such Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Borrower), executed originals of IRS Form W‑9 certifying that such Lender is exempt from U.S. federal backup withholding tax;

(B)any Foreign Lender shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, deliver to the Borrower (in such number of copies as shall be requested by the recipient) on or prior to the date on which such Foreign Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Borrower), whichever of the following is applicable:

(2)executed originals of IRS Form W‑8ECI;

(3)in the case of a Foreign Lender claiming the benefits of the exemption for portfolio interest under Section 881(c) of the Code, (x) a certificate to the effect that such Foreign Lender is not a “bank” within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Code, a “10 percent shareholder” of the Borrower within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(B) of the Code, or a “controlled foreign corporation” described in Section 881(c)(3)(C) of the Code (a “U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate”) and (y) executed originals of IRS Form W‑8BEN or IRS Form W‑8BEN-E, as applicable; or

(4)to the extent a Foreign Lender is a partnership or is not the beneficial owner, executed originals of IRS Form W‑8IMY, accompanied by IRS Form W‑8ECI, IRS Form W‑8BEN, IRS Form W‑8BEN-E, a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate, reasonably satisfactory to Borrower, IRS Form W‑9, and/or other certification documents from each beneficial owner, as applicable; provided, that if the Foreign Lender is a partnership and one or more direct or indirect partners of such Foreign Lender are claiming the portfolio interest exemption, such Foreign Lender may provide a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate, reasonably satisfactory to Borrower, on behalf of each such direct and indirect partner;

(C)any Foreign Lender shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, deliver to the Borrower (in such number of copies as shall be requested by the recipient) on or prior to the date on which such Foreign Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Borrower), executed originals of any other form prescribed by applicable law as a basis for claiming exemption from or a reduction in U.S. federal withholding Tax, duly completed, together with such supplementary documentation as may be prescribed by applicable law to permit the Borrower to determine the withholding or deduction required to be made; and

(D)if a payment made to a Lender under any Loan Document would be subject to U.S. federal withholding Tax imposed by FATCA if such Lender were to fail to comply with the applicable reporting requirements of FATCA (including those contained in Section 1471(b) or 1472(b) of the Code, as applicable), such Lender shall deliver to the Borrower at the time or times prescribed by law and at such time or times reasonably requested by the Borrower such documentation prescribed by applicable law (including as prescribed by Section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of the Code) and such additional documentation reasonably requested by the Borrower as may be necessary for the Borrower to comply with their obligations under FATCA and to determine that such Lender

- 73 -

 


has complied with such Lender’s obligations under FATCA or to determine the amount to deduct and withhold from such payment.  Solely for purposes of this clause (D), “FATCA” shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the date of this Agreement.

Each Lender agrees that if any form or certification it previously delivered expires or becomes obsolete or inaccurate in any respect, it shall update such form or certification or promptly notify the Borrower in writing of its legal inability to do so.

(f)Treatment of Certain Refunds.  If any party determines, in its sole discretion exercised in good faith, that it has received a refund of any Taxes as to which it has been indemnified pursuant to this Section 2.7 (including by the payment of additional amounts pursuant to this Section 2.7), it shall pay to the indemnifying party an amount equal to such refund (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made under this Section with respect to the Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses (including Taxes) of such indemnified party and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund).  Such indemnifying party, upon the request of such indemnified party, shall repay to such indemnified party the amount paid over pursuant to this Section 2.7(f) (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) in the event that such indemnified party is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 2.7(f), in no event will the indemnified party be required to pay any amount to an indemnifying party pursuant to this Section 2.7(f) the payment of which would place the indemnified party in a less favorable net after-tax position than the indemnified party would have been in if the indemnification payments or additional amounts giving rise to such refund had never been paid.  This Section 2.7(f) shall not be construed to require any indemnified party to make available its tax returns (or any other information relating to its Taxes that it deems confidential) to the indemnifying party or any other Person.

(g)Survival.  Each party’s obligations under this Section 2.7 shall survive any assignment of rights by, or the replacement of, a Lender and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all obligations under any Loan Document.

Section 2.8Extension of the Initial Maturity Date.  Borrower shall have the option to extend the term of the Loan beyond the Initial Maturity Date of the Loan for three (3) successive terms (each such option, an “Extension Option” and each such successive term, an “Extension Term”) of one (1) year each (the Maturity Date following the exercise of each such option is hereinafter the “Extended Maturity Date”) upon satisfaction of the following terms and conditions:

(c)Borrower shall obtain and deliver to Lender on the first day of the applicable Extension Term, one or more Replacement Interest Rate Cap Agreements in form substantially identical to the Interest Rate Cap Agreements delivered to Lender in connection with the closing of the Loan or otherwise in a form which is reasonably acceptable to the Lender, from an Acceptable Counterparty in a notional amount equal to the aggregate Component Outstanding Principal Balances of the Floating Rate Components, which Interest Rate Cap Agreement shall be effective commencing on the first date of such Extension Term and shall have a scheduled term that expires not earlier than the last day of the Interest Period in which the applicable Extended Maturity Date is scheduled to occur after giving effect to the option then being exercised;

(d)Borrower shall deliver a Counterparty Opinion with respect to the Replacement Interest Rate Cap Agreement and the related Acknowledgment and shall deliver to Lender an executed Collateral Assignment of Interest Rate Cap Agreement;

(e)All amounts due and payable by Borrower and any other Person pursuant to this Agreement or the other Loan Documents as of the Initial Maturity Date or the then-current Extended Maturity Date (as applicable), and all reasonable, out-of-pocket costs and expenses of Lender, including fees and expenses of Lender’s counsel, in connection with the Loan and/or the applicable extension of the Term shall have been paid in full.

(f)Borrower shall have delivered to Lender together with its notice pursuant to Section 2.8(b) and at Lender’s reasonable request, on the commencement date of the applicable Extension Option, an Officer’s Certificate in form reasonably acceptable to the Lender certifying that each of the representations and warranties of Borrower contained in the Loan Documents is true, complete and correct in all material respects as of the giving of the notice to the extent such representations and warranties are not matters which by their nature can no longer be true and correct as a result of the passage of time.

Article III - REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES

Section 3.1General Representations.  Borrower represents and warrants to Lender as of the Closing Date that, except to the extent (if any) disclosed on Schedule III with reference to a specific subsection of this Section 3.1:

3.1.1Organization.  Each Loan Party has been duly organized and is validly existing with requisite power and authority to own its properties and to transact the businesses in which it is now engaged.  Each Loan Party is duly qualified to do business and in good standing in each jurisdiction where it is required to be so qualified in connection with its properties, businesses and operations, except to the extent that failure to do so would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.  Each Loan Party possesses all rights, licenses, permits and authorizations, governmental or otherwise, necessary to entitle it to own its properties and to

- 75 -

 


transact the businesses in which it is now engaged, except to the extent that failure to do so could not in the aggregate reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.  The sole business of Borrower is the acquisition, renovation, rehabilitation, ownership, maintenance, sale, transfer, financing, refinancing, management, leasing and operation of the Properties and other activity in furtherance thereof; and the sole business of Equity Owner is acting as the sole member of Borrower and any other activity in furtherance thereof, including, providing the Equity Owner Guaranty and the Equity Owner Security Agreement; and the sole business of the Borrower TRS is the acquisition, ownership, maintenance, sale, transfer, financing, refinancing, management, leasing and operation of the Properties and other activity in furtherance thereof, including providing the Borrower TRS Guaranty and the Borrower TRS Security Agreement.  Each Loan Party is a Special Purpose Entity.

3.1.2Proceedings.  Each Loan Party has taken all necessary action to authorize the execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement and each of the other Loan Documents to which it is a party.  This Agreement and the other Loan Documents have been duly authorized, executed and delivered by or on behalf of each Loan Party party thereto and constitute legal, valid and binding obligations of each Loan Party party thereto, enforceable against each such Loan Party party thereto in accordance with their respective terms, subject only to applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium and other similar laws affecting the rights of creditors generally, and subject, as to enforceability, to general principles of equity (regardless of whether enforcement is sought in a proceeding in equity or at law).  The Loan Documents are not subject to any right of rescission, set-off, counterclaim or defense by any Loan Party including the defense of usury, nor would the operation of any of the terms of the Loan Documents, or the exercise of any right thereunder, render the Loan Documents unenforceable, and no Loan Party has asserted any right of rescission, set-off, counterclaim or defense with respect thereto.

3.1.3No Conflicts.  The execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents by each Loan Party party thereto (i) will not contravene such Loan Party’s organizational documents, (ii) will not result in any violation of the provisions of any Legal Requirement of any Governmental Authority having jurisdiction over any Loan Party or any of each Loan Party’s properties or assets, (iii) with respect to each Loan Party, will not conflict with or result in a breach of any of the terms or provisions of, or constitute a default under the terms of any indenture, mortgage, deed of trust, deed to secure debt, loan agreement, management agreement or other agreement or instrument to which such Loan Party is a party or to, which any of such Loan Party’s property or assets is subject, that would be reasonably expected to have a Material Adverse Effect and (iv) with respect to each Loan Party, except for Liens created under the Loan Documents, result in or require the creation or imposition of any Lien upon or with respect to any of the assets of such Loan Party.

3.1.4Litigation.  There are no actions, suits or proceedings at law or in equity by or before any Governmental Authority or other entity now pending or, to the actual knowledge of a Responsible Officer of Manager or any Loan Party, threatened, against or affecting any Loan Party or Manager, as applicable, which actions, suits or proceedings (i) involve the Loan Documents or the transactions contemplated thereby or (ii) if adversely determined, would reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.  There are no actions, suits or proceedings at law or in equity by or before any Governmental Authority or other entity that

- 76 -

 


resulted in a judgment against any Loan Party that has not been paid in full that would otherwise constitute an Event of Default.

3.1.5Agreements.  No Loan Party is a party to any agreement or instrument or subject to any restriction which would reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.  No Loan Party is in default in the performance, observance or fulfillment of any of the obligations, covenants or conditions contained in any agreement or instrument to which it is a party which default would be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.  Other than the Loan Documents, no Loan Party has a material financial obligation (contingent or otherwise) under any indenture, mortgage, deed of trust, loan agreement or other agreement or instrument to which any Loan Party is a party other than, with respect to Borrower or Borrower TRS, the Management Agreement, the Leases or any other agreement into which Borrower or Borrower TRS is permitted to enter pursuant to the terms of the Loan Documents.

3.1.6Consents.  No consent, approval, authorization or order of any court or Governmental Authority is required for the execution, delivery and performance by any Loan Party of, or compliance by any Loan Party with, this Agreement or the other Loan Documents or the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby, other than those which have been obtained by the applicable Loan Party.

3.1.7Solvency.  Each Loan Party has (a) not entered into the transaction contemplated by this Agreement nor executed any Loan Document with the actual intent to hinder, delay or defraud any creditor and (b) received reasonably equivalent value in exchange for its obligations under the Loan Documents.  After giving effect to the Loans, each Loan Party is Solvent.  No petition in bankruptcy has been filed against any Loan Party in the last seven (7) years, and no Loan Party in the last seven (7) years has made an assignment for the benefit of creditors or taken advantage of any insolvency act for the benefit of debtors.  No Loan Party is contemplating either the filing of a petition by it 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 to the actual knowledge of any Loan Party, no Person is contemplating the filing of any such petition against any Loan Party.

3.1.8Other Debt.  No Loan Party has any Indebtedness other than, with respect to Borrower, Permitted Indebtedness, with respect to Equity Owner, Equity Owner’s Permitted Indebtedness and, with respect to Borrower TRS, Borrower TRS’s Permitted Indebtedness.

3.1.9Employee Benefit Matters.

(a)Assuming no portion of the assets used by Lender to fund the Loan constitutes the assets of an ERISA Plan, the assets of each Loan Party do not constitute “plan assets” of (i) any “employee benefit plan” (as defined in Section 3(3) of ERISA) that is subject to Title I of ERISA, (ii) any “plan” (as defined in Section 4975 of the Code) that is subject to Section 4975 of the Code or (iii) any employee benefit plan or plan that is not subject to Title I of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code but is subject to any law, rule or regulation applicable to such Loan Party which is substantially similar to the prohibited transaction provisions of Section 406 of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code (each of clauses (i), (ii) and (iii), an “ERISA Plan”) with the result that the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, including, but not limited to, the

- 77 -

 


exercise by Lender of any rights under the Loan Documents will constitute a non-exempt prohibited transaction within the meaning of Section 406 of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code.  No Loan Party or any of its ERISA Affiliates sponsors, maintains or contributes to any Plans or Foreign Plans.  No Loan Party has any employees.

(b)Each Plan (and each related trust, insurance contract or fund) is in compliance in all material respects with its terms and with all applicable laws, including without limitation ERISA and the Code.  Each Plan that is intended to be qualified under Section 401(a) of the Code as currently in effect has been determined by the IRS to be so qualified, and each trust related to any such Plan has been determined to be exempt from federal income tax under Section 501(a) of the Code as currently in effect, and no event has taken place which could reasonably be expected to cause the loss of such qualified status and exempt status.  With respect to each Plan of a Loan Party, each Loan Party and all of its ERISA Affiliates have satisfied the minimum funding standard under Section 412(a) of the Code and Section 302(a) of ERISA and paid all required minimum contributions and all required installments on or before the due dates under Section 430(j) of the Code and Section 303(j) of ERISA.  No Loan Party or any of its ERISA Affiliates has filed, pursuant to Section 412(c) of the Code or Section 302(c) of ERISA, an application for a waiver of the minimum funding standard.  No Loan Party or any of its ERISA Affiliates has incurred any liability to the PBGC which remains outstanding other than the payment of premiums, and there are no premium payments which have become due which are unpaid.  No Plan is in “at risk” status within the meaning of Section 430(i) of the Code or Section 303(j) of ERISA.  There are no existing, pending or threatened in writing claims (other than routine claims for benefits in the normal course), sanctions, actions, lawsuits or other proceedings or investigation involving any Plan to which any Loan Party or any of its ERISA Affiliates has incurred or otherwise has or could have an obligation or any liability.  With respect to each Multiemployer Plan to which any Loan Party or any of its ERISA Affiliates is required to make a contribution, each Loan Party and all of its ERISA Affiliates have satisfied all required contributions and installments on or before the applicable due dates and have not incurred a complete or partial withdrawal under Section 4203 or 4205 of ERISA.  No Plan Termination Event has or is reasonably expected to occur.

(c)Each Foreign Plan is in compliance in all material respects with all laws, regulations and rules applicable thereto and the respective requirements of the governing documents for such plan.  The aggregate of the liabilities to provide all of the accrued benefits under each Foreign Plan does not exceed the current fair market value of the assets held in the trust or other funding vehicle for such plan.  There are no actions, suits or claims (other than routine claims for benefits) pending or threatened against any Loan Party or any of its ERISA Affiliates with respect to any Foreign Plan.

3.1.10Compliance with Legal Requirements.  Each Loan Party is in compliance with all applicable Legal Requirements, except to the extent that any noncompliance would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.  No Loan Party is in default or violation of any order, writ, injunction, decree or demand of any Governmental Authority, except for any default or violation that would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

3.1.12Insurance.  Borrower has obtained and delivered to Lender certificates evidencing the Policies required to be maintained under Section 5.1.1.  All such Policies are in full force and effect, with all premiums that are due and payable prepaid thereunder.  No claims have been made that are currently pending, outstanding or otherwise remain unsatisfied under any such Policies that would reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.  With respect to any Policy, neither Borrower nor, to Borrower’s or Manager’s knowledge, any other Person, has done, by act or omission, anything which has impaired or would reasonably be expected to impair the coverage of any of the Policies in any material respect.

3.1.13Tax Filings.  Each Loan Party has filed, or caused to be filed, on a timely basis all Tax returns (including, without limitation, all foreign, federal, state, local and other Tax returns) required to be filed by it, if any, is not liable for Non-Property Taxes payable by any other Person and has paid or made adequate provisions for the payment of all Non-Property Taxes (to the extent such Taxes, assessment and other governmental charges exceed $100,000 in the aggregate) payable by such Loan Party except as permitted by Section 4.1.4 or 4.4.5.  All material recording or other similar taxes required to be paid by any Loan Party under applicable Legal Requirements currently in effect in connection with the execution, delivery, recordation, filing, registration, perfection or enforcement of any of the Loan Documents have been paid.

3.1.14Certificate of Compliance; Licenses.  All certifications, permits, licenses and approvals, including without limitation, certificates of completion and occupancy, required of Borrower for the legal use, occupancy and operation of each Property have been obtained and are in full force and effect, except as would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.  The use being made of each Property is in conformity with the certificate of occupancy issued for such Property, if any.

3.1.15Special Purpose Entity/Separateness.

(a)Since its formation, no Loan Party has conducted any business other than entering into and performing its obligations under the Loan Documents to which it is a party and as described in the definition of Special Purpose Entity herein.  As of the Closing Date, no Loan Party owns or holds, directly or indirectly (i) any capital stock or equity security of, or any equity interest in, any Person other than a Loan Party or (ii) any debt security or other evidence of indebtedness of any Person, except for Permitted Investments and as otherwise contemplated by the Loan Documents.  As of the Closing Date, Borrower does not have any subsidiaries other than Borrower TRS, and Borrower TRS has no subsidiaries.

(b)Any and all of the stated facts and assumptions made in the Insolvency Opinion, including, but not limited to, any exhibits attached thereto, will have been and shall be true and correct in all respects, and each Loan Party will have complied and will comply in all material respects, with all of the stated facts and assumptions made with respect to it in the Insolvency Opinion.  Each entity other than a Loan Party with respect to which an assumption is made or a fact stated in any Insolvency Opinion will have complied and will comply, in all material respects, with all of the assumptions made and facts stated with respect to it in the Insolvency Opinion.  Borrower covenants that in connection with any Additional Insolvency Opinion delivered in connection with this Agreement it shall provide an updated certification regarding compliance with the facts and assumptions made therein, which certificate shall be substantially similar to the representations made in this Section 3.1.15(b).

(c)Borrower covenants and agrees that Borrower shall provide Lender with thirty (30) days’ prior written notice prior to the removal of an Independent Director of any Loan Party.

3.1.16Management.  The ownership, leasing, management and collection practices used by each Loan Party and Manager with respect to the Properties have been, to the actual knowledge of the Responsible Officers of Manager and each Loan Party,  in compliance with all applicable Legal Requirements, and all necessary licenses, permits and regulatory requirements pertaining thereto have been obtained and remain in full force and effect, except to the extent that failure to comply with Legal Requirements and/or obtain such licenses, permits and regulatory requirements and/or for the same to remain in full force and effect would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.  The Management Agreement is in full force and effect and there is no default thereunder by any party thereto and no event has occurred that, with the passage of time and/or the giving of notice would constitute a default thereunder.

3.1.17Illegal Activity.  None of the Properties has been or will be purchased with proceeds of any illegal activity.

3.1.18No Change in Facts or Circumstances; Disclosure.  All information, reports, financial statements, exhibits and schedules furnished in writing by or on behalf of each Loan Party to Lender in connection with the negotiation, preparation or delivery of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents or included herein or therein or delivered pursuant hereto or thereto (but excluding any projections, forward looking statements, budgets, estimates and general

- 107 -

 


State under this Agreement, one or more legal opinions (which may be in the form of a bring-down or date-down opinion with respect to an earlier delivered opinion, including, without limitation, the Closing Date HOA Opinion) from a nationally recognized law firm (or one with prominent standing in the applicable state or otherwise reasonably acceptable to Lender) opining with respect to each such state in which a Property is located whether such state is an Applicable HOA State (as defined under clause (a) of the definition thereof).  Any opinion required to be delivered pursuant to this Section 4.3.17(b) may be aggregated with any other opinion required to be delivered to Lender (or Servicer on behalf of Lender) so long as all the states in which Properties are located are included in such opinion or opinions and such opinion or opinions specifically reference this Agreement and otherwise meet the requirements of this Section 4.3.17(b).  If, with respect to any state in which a Property is located, (i) Borrower fails to deliver to Lender an opinion pursuant to this Section 4.3.17(b), the Lender may in its sole and absolute discretion designate such state an Applicable HOA State by written notice to Borrower or (ii) any opinion delivered to Lender pursuant to this Section 4.3.17(b) shall be materially different from any Closing Date HOA Opinion and such differences are not satisfactory to Lender in its sole and absolute discretion, Lender may request in writing that Borrower obtain a second opinion from a nationally recognized law firm (or one with prominent standing in the applicable state or otherwise reasonably acceptable to Lender) and deliver such opinion to Lender within twenty (20) Business Days of such written request and (1) if Borrower fails to deliver such a second opinion to Lender, the Lender may in its sole and absolute discretion designate such state an Applicable HOA State by written notice to Borrower or (2) if any such second opinion delivered to Lender shall be materially different from any Closing Date HOA Opinion and such differences are not satisfactory to Lender in its sole and absolute discretion and Lender believes in good faith that such state is an Applicable HOA State (as defined under clause (a) of the definition thereof), Lender may designate such state an Applicable HOA State by written notice to Borrower.  In addition, if, as a result of any such differences Lender believes in good faith that any provisions for the subordination of Liens for HOA Fees to the Lien of the Mortgages are unenforceable under the laws of an Applicable HOA State or that such Lien for HOA Fees would be entitled to Priority, Lender may redesignate all affected HOA Properties in such Applicable HOA State as Applicable HOA Properties.  On the Closing Date, Lender acknowledges based on the Closing Date HOA Opinions and the Closing Date OSN Certificate that there are no Applicable HOA States.  Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything herein to the contrary, Lender shall not be permitted to declare a state an Applicable HOA State pursuant to this Section 4.3.17(b) if Lender or its Servicer (excluding any special servicer) has received a legal opinion from a nationally recognized law firm (or one with prominent standing in the applicable state or otherwise reasonably acceptable to Lender) that if delivered by Borrower and referencing this Agreement would have resulted in such state not being declared an Applicable HOA State.

(c)If subsequent to the Closing Date there is consummated a securitization of a single borrower single family residential rental financing similar to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and such financing contains HOA reporting and/or HOA Opinion delivery requirements and/or HOA Funds reserve requirements that are less burdensome to the borrower thereunder than those required by this Agreement (including Sections 4.3.17, 4.4.8, 6.1.3, 6.1.4, 6.1.5 and Schedule V), then subject to a Rating Agency Confirmation, Borrower shall have the right to require Lender to amend this Agreement in a manner consistent with such less burdensome requirements.

(g)In the event of foreclosure of a Mortgage, or other transfer of title to a Property or Properties in extinguishment in whole or in part of the Debt all right, title and interest of Borrower in and to the Policies that are not blanket Policies then in force concerning such Property or Properties and all proceeds payable thereunder shall thereupon vest in the purchaser at such foreclosure or Lender or other transferee in the event of such other transfer of title.

(a)During the continuance of an Event of Default, all or any one or more of the rights, powers, privileges and other remedies available to Lender against each Relevant Party under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents executed and delivered by, or applicable to, a Relevant Party or at law or in equity may be exercised by Lender at any time and from time to time, whether or not all or any of the Debt shall be declared due and payable, and whether or not Lender shall have commenced any foreclosure proceeding or other action for the enforcement of its rights and remedies under any of the Loan Documents with respect to all or any part of any Property.  Any such actions taken by Lender shall be cumulative and concurrent and may be pursued independently, singularly, successively, together or otherwise, at such time and in such order as Lender may determine in its sole discretion, to the fullest extent permitted by law, without impairing or otherwise affecting the other rights and remedies of Lender permitted by law, equity or contract or as set forth herein or in the other Loan Documents.  Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Borrower agrees that if an Event of Default is continuing (i) Lender is not subject to any “one action” or “election of remedies” law or rule, and (ii) all liens and other rights, remedies or privileges provided to Lender shall remain in full force and effect until Lender has exhausted all of its remedies against the Properties and each Mortgage has been foreclosed, sold and/or otherwise realized upon in satisfaction of the Debt or the Debt has been paid in full.

(b)With respect to Borrower and the Properties, nothing contained herein or in any other Loan Document shall be construed as requiring Lender to resort to any Property for the satisfaction of any of the Debt in any preference or priority to any other Property, and Lender may seek satisfaction out of all of the Properties, or any part thereof, in its absolute discretion in respect of the Debt.  In addition, Lender shall have the right from time to time to partially foreclose the Lien of the Mortgages and the other Collateral Documents in any manner and for any amounts secured by the Mortgages and the other Collateral Documents then due and payable as determined by Lender in its sole discretion including, without limitation, the following

- 132 -

 


circumstances:  (i) in the event Borrower defaults beyond any applicable grace period in the payment of one or more scheduled payments of principal and interest, Lender may foreclose the Lien of one or more of the Mortgages and/or the other Collateral Documents to recover such delinquent payments or (ii) in the event Lender elects to accelerate less than the entire Outstanding Principal Balance of the Loan, Lender may foreclose the Lien of one or more of the Mortgages and/or the other Collateral Documents to recover so much of the principal balance of the Loan as Lender may accelerate and such other sums secured by the Mortgages and the other Collateral Documents as Lender may elect.  Notwithstanding one or more partial foreclosures, the Collateral shall remain subject to the Mortgages and the other Collateral Documents to secure payment of sums secured by the Collateral Documents and not previously recovered.

(c)During the continuance of an Event of Default, Lender shall have the right from time to time to sever the Note and the other Loan Documents into one or more separate notes, Collateral Documents and other security documents (the “Severed Loan Documents”) in such denominations as Lender shall determine in its sole discretion for purposes of evidencing and enforcing its rights and remedies provided hereunder.  Borrower shall execute and deliver to Lender from time to time, promptly after the request of Lender, a severance agreement and such other documents as Lender shall request in order to effect the severance described in the preceding sentence, all in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Lender.  The Loan Parties hereby absolutely and irrevocably appoint Lender as its true and lawful attorney, coupled with an interest, in its name and stead to make and execute all documents necessary or desirable to effect the aforesaid severance, Borrower ratifying all that its said attorney shall do by virtue thereof; provided, however, Lender shall not make or execute any such documents under such power until three (3) days after notice has been given to a Loan Party by Lender of Lender’s intent to exercise its rights under such power.  Borrower shall be obligated to pay any costs or expenses incurred in connection with the preparation, execution, recording or filing of the Severed Loan Documents and the Severed Loan Documents shall not contain any representations, warranties or covenants not contained in the Loan Documents and any such representations and warranties contained in the Severed Loan Documents will be given by Borrower only as of the Closing Date.

(d)As used in this Section 7.2, a “foreclosure” shall include, without limitation, any sale by power of sale.

Section 7.3Remedies Cumulative; Waivers.  The rights, powers and remedies of Lender under this Agreement shall be cumulative and not exclusive of any other right, power or remedy which Lender may have against Borrower pursuant to this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, or existing at law or in equity or otherwise.  Lender’s rights, powers and remedies may be pursued singularly, concurrently or otherwise, at such time and in such order as Lender may determine in Lender’s sole discretion.  No delay or omission to exercise any remedy, right or power accruing upon an Event of Default shall impair any such remedy, right or power or shall be construed as a waiver thereof, but any such remedy, right or power may be exercised from time to time and as often as may be deemed expedient.  A waiver of one Default or Event of Default with respect to Borrower shall not be construed to be a waiver of any subsequent Default or Event of Default by Borrower or to impair any remedy, right or power consequent thereon.

- 133 -

 


Section 7.4Lender’s Right to Perform.  If Borrower fails to perform any covenant or obligation contained herein and such failure shall continue for a period of five (5) Business Days after Borrower’s receipt of written notice thereof from Lender, without in any way limiting Lender’s right to exercise any of its rights, powers or remedies as provided hereunder, or under any of the other Loan Documents, Lender may, but shall have no obligation to, perform, or cause the performance of, such covenant or obligation, and all costs, expenses, liabilities, penalties and fines of Lender incurred or paid in connection therewith shall be payable by Borrower to Lender upon demand and if not paid shall be added to the Obligations (and to the extent permitted under applicable laws, secured by the Mortgages and the other Collateral Documents) and shall bear interest thereafter at the Default Rate.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, Lender shall have no obligation to send notice to Borrower of any such failure.

8.1.1Sale of Notes and Securitization.  

(a)Borrower acknowledges and agrees that Lender may sell all or any portion of the Loan and the Loan Documents, or issue one or more participations therein, or consummate one or more private or public securitizations of rated single- or multi-class securities (the “Securities”) secured by or evidencing ownership interests in all or any portion of the Loan and the Loan Documents or a pool of assets that include the Loan and the Loan Documents (such sales, participations and/or securitizations, collectively, a “Securitization”).  Lender shall promptly notify Borrower of any such sale of all or any portion of the Loan.  Lender or its designee, acting solely for this purpose as an agent of Borrower, shall maintain a register (“Register”) for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders, and principal amounts (and stated interest) of the Loans owing to, each Lender pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time.  The entries in the Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error.  The Register shall be available for inspection by Borrower, at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.

(b)At the request of Lender, and to the extent not already required to be provided by or on behalf of Borrower under this Agreement, Borrower shall provide information not in the possession of Lender  which is in the possession or control of Borrower or its Affiliates or which may be reasonably required by Lender, in each case in order to satisfy the market standards to which Lender customarily adheres or which may be reasonably required by prospective investors and/or the Approved Rating Agencies in connection with any such Securitization.  Lender shall have the right to provide to investors, prospective investors and the Approved Rating Agencies any information in its possession that it is required to provide to such Persons pursuant to the Servicing Agreement, including financial statements relating to Borrower, Sponsor and the Properties.  Borrower acknowledges that certain information regarding the Loan and the parties thereto and the Properties may be included in a private placement memorandum, prospectus or other disclosure documents.  Borrower agrees that Borrower, shall, at Lender’s request, cooperate with Lender’s efforts to arrange for a Securitization in accordance with the market standards to which Lender customarily adheres and/or which may be required by prospective investors and/or the Approved Rating Agencies in connection with any such Securitization.  

- 134 -

 


Within a reasonable period of time following Lender’s request in connection with a Securitization, Borrower agrees to review only those portions of the Disclosure Documents that relate to Borrower, Equity Owner, Sponsor, the Properties and the Loan, which is contained in the sections of the Disclosure Documents entitled “Risk Factors,” “Special Considerations,” “Description of the Mortgage,” “Description of the Mortgage Loan and Mortgaged Properties,” “The Manager,” “The Borrower,” and “Certain Legal Aspects of the Mortgage Loan” (or sections similarly titled or covering similar subject matters) (collectively, the “Covered Disclosure Information”), and shall certify that the factual statements and representations contained in the Covered Disclosure Information do not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements made, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading.

8.1.2Securitization Costs.  All reasonable third party costs and expenses incurred by Borrower and Equity Owners in connection with Borrower’s complying with requests made under this Section 8.1 (including, without limitation, the fees and expenses of the Approved Rating Agencies, any mortgage recording taxes, title insurance premiums and UCC insurance premiums) shall be paid by Borrower with respect to the Securitization on the Closing Date and otherwise as required by the Lender, except as otherwise provided herein.

Section 8.2Securitization Cooperation.

(a)Borrower understands that certain of the Provided Information may be included in Disclosure Documents in connection with the Securitization and may also be included in filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to the Securities Act or the Exchange Act, or provided or made available to investors or prospective investors in the Securities, the Approved Rating Agencies, and service providers relating to the Securitization.  In the event that the Disclosure Document is required to be revised prior to the sale of all Securities, Borrower will cooperate with the holder of the Note in providing current information necessary to keep the Disclosure Document accurate and complete in all material respects to the extent such information is in Borrower’s possession or control.

(b)Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, Borrower shall have no obligation to act as depositor with respect to the Loan or an issuer or registrant with respect to the Securities issued in any Securitization.

Section 8.3Servicer.  At the option of Lender, the Loan may be serviced by a master servicer, primary servicer, special servicer and/or trustee (any such master servicer, primary servicer, special servicer, and trustee, together with its agents, nominees or designees, are collectively referred to as “Servicer”) selected by Lender and Lender may delegate all or any portion of its responsibilities under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents to Servicer pursuant to a pooling and servicing agreement, servicing agreement, special servicing agreement or other agreement providing for the servicing of one or more mortgage loans (collectively, the “Servicing Agreement”) between Lender and Servicer.  Borrower shall not be responsible for any set-up fees or any other initial costs relating to or arising under the Servicing Agreement.  Borrower shall not be responsible for payment of the monthly master servicing fee due to the Servicer under the Servicing Agreement.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, Borrower shall pay all

- 135 -

 


Trust Fund Expenses.  For the avoidance of doubt, this Section 8.3 shall not be deemed to limit Borrower’s obligations under Section 9.13(a).

Article IX - MISCELLANEOUS

Section 9.1Survival.  This Agreement and all covenants, agreements, representations and warranties made herein and in the certificates delivered pursuant hereto shall survive the making by Lender of the Loan and the execution and delivery to Lender of the Note, and shall continue in full force and effect so long as all or any of the Debt is outstanding and unpaid unless a longer period is expressly set forth herein or in the other Loan Documents.  Whenever in this Agreement any of the parties hereto is referred to, such reference shall be deemed to include the legal representatives, successors and assigns of such party.  All covenants, promises and agreements in this Agreement, by or on behalf of Borrower, shall inure to the benefit of the legal representatives, successors and assigns of Lender.

Section 9.2Lender’s Discretion; Rating Agency Review Waiver.

(a)Whenever pursuant to this Agreement Lender exercises any right given to it to approve or disapprove any matter, or any arrangement or term is to be satisfactory to Lender, the decision of Lender to approve or disapprove such matter or to decide whether arrangements or terms are satisfactory or not satisfactory shall (except as is otherwise specifically herein provided) be in the sole discretion of Lender and shall be final and conclusive.  Prior to a Securitization, whenever pursuant to this Agreement the Approved Rating Agencies are given any right to approve or disapprove any matter, or any arrangement or term is to be satisfactory to the Approved Rating Agencies, the decision of Lender to approve or disapprove such matter or to decide whether arrangements or terms are satisfactory or not satisfactory, based upon Lender’s determination of Rating Agency criteria, shall be substituted therefor.

(b)Whenever, pursuant to this Agreement or any other Loan Documents, a Rating Agency Confirmation is required from each Approved Rating Agency, in the event that any Approved  Rating Agency “declines review”, “waives review” or otherwise indicates to Lender’s or Servicer’s satisfaction that no Rating Agency Confirmation will or needs to be issued with respect to the matter in question (each, a “Review Waiver”), then the requirement to obtain a Rating Agency Confirmation from such Approved Rating Agency shall not apply with respect to such matter; provided, however, if a Review Waiver occurs with respect to an Approved Rating Agency and Lender does not have a separate and independent approval right with respect to the matter in question, then such matter shall require the written reasonable approval of Lender.  It is expressly agreed and understood, however, that receipt of a Review Waiver (i) from any one Approved Rating Agency shall not be binding or apply with respect to any other Approved Rating Agency and (ii) with respect to one matter shall not apply or be deemed to apply to any subsequent matter for which Rating Agency Confirmation is required.

Section 9.13Expenses; Indemnity.

(a)Borrower covenants and agrees to pay or, if Borrower fails to pay, to reimburse, Lender upon receipt of written notice from Lender for all out-of-pocket costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses) incurred by Lender in connection with (i) the preparation, negotiation, execution and delivery of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby and all the costs of furnishing all opinions by counsel for Borrower (including without limitation any opinions requested by Borrower as to any legal matters arising under this Agreement or the other Loan Documents with respect to the Property); (ii) Borrower’s ongoing performance of and compliance with Borrower’s respective agreements and covenants contained in this Agreement and the other Loan Documents on its part to be performed or complied with after the Closing Date, including, without limitation, confirming compliance with environmental and insurance requirements; (iii) Lender’s ongoing performance and compliance with all agreements and conditions contained in this Agreement and the other Loan Documents on its part to be performed or complied with after the Closing Date; (iv) the negotiation, preparation, execution, delivery and administration of any consents, amendments, waivers or other modifications to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and any other documents or matters requested by Borrower; (v) securing Borrower’s compliance with any requests made pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement; (vi) the filing and recording fees and expenses, title insurance and fees and expenses of counsel for providing to Lender all required legal opinions, and other similar expenses incurred in creating and perfecting the Liens in favor of Lender pursuant to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents; (vii) enforcing or preserving any rights, in response

(b)Borrower shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless Lender and each of its respective officers, directors, partners, employees, representatives, agents and Affiliates (the “Indemnified Persons”) from and against any and all other liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, claims, costs, expenses and disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever (including, without limitation, the reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel in connection with any investigative, administrative or judicial proceeding commenced or threatened, whether or not an Indemnified Person shall be designated a party thereto), that may be imposed on, incurred by, or asserted against any Indemnified Person in any manner relating to or arising out of (i) any breach by Borrower of its obligations under, or any material misrepresentation by Borrower contained in, this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, or (ii) the use or intended use of the proceeds of the Loan (collectively, the “Indemnified Liabilities”); provided, however, that Borrower shall not have any obligation to any Indemnified Person hereunder to the extent that such Indemnified Liabilities arise from the gross negligence, illegal acts, fraud or willful misconduct of such Indemnified Person.  To the extent that the undertaking to indemnify, defend and hold harmless set forth in the preceding sentence may be unenforceable because it violates any law or public policy, Borrower shall pay the maximum portion that it is permitted to pay and satisfy under applicable law to the payment and satisfaction of all Indemnified Liabilities incurred by the Indemnified Persons.

(c)Borrower covenants and agrees to pay for or, if Borrower fails to pay, to reimburse Lender for, any fees and expenses incurred by any Rating Agency in connection with any Rating Agency review of the Loan, the Loan Documents or any transaction contemplated thereby or any consent, approval, waiver or confirmation obtained from such Rating Agency pursuant to the terms and conditions of this Agreement or any other Loan Document and Lender shall be entitled to require payment of such fees and expenses as a condition precedent to the obtaining of any such consent, approval, waiver or confirmation.

(d)Borrower shall indemnify the Indemnified Persons against any liabilities to which any Indemnified Person may become subject in connection with any indemnification to the Approved Rating Agencies in connection with issuing, monitoring or maintaining the Securities insofar as the liabilities arise out of or are based upon any untrue statement of any material fact in any information provided by or on behalf of the Borrowers to the Approved Rating Agencies (the “Covered Rating Agency Information”) or arise out of or are based upon the omission to state a material fact in the Covered Rating Agency Information required to be stated therein or

- 141 -

 


necessary in order to make the statements in the Covered Rating Agency Information, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading.

Section 9.14Schedules Incorporated.  The Schedules annexed hereto are hereby incorporated herein as a part of this Agreement with the same effect as if set forth in the body hereof.

Section 9.15Offsets, Counterclaims and Defenses.  Any assignee of Lender’s interest in and to this Agreement, the Note and the other Loan Documents shall take the same free and clear of all offsets, counterclaims or defenses which are unrelated to such documents which Borrower may otherwise have against any assignor of such documents, and no such unrelated counterclaim or defense shall be interposed or asserted by Borrower in any action or proceeding brought by any such assignee upon such documents and any such right to interpose or assert any such unrelated offset, counterclaim or defense in any such action or proceeding is hereby expressly waived by Borrower.

Section 9.16No Joint Venture or Partnership; No Third Party; Beneficiaries.

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

(b)This Agreement and the other Loan Documents are solely for the benefit of Lender and Borrower and nothing contained in this Agreement or the other Loan Documents shall be deemed to confer upon anyone other than Lender and Borrower any right to insist upon or to enforce the performance or observance of any of the obligations contained herein or therein.  All conditions to the obligations of Lender to make the Loan hereunder are imposed solely and exclusively for the benefit of Lender and no other Person shall have standing to require satisfaction of such conditions in accordance with their terms or be entitled to assume that Lender will refuse to make the Loan in the absence of strict compliance with any or all thereof and no other Person shall under any circumstances be deemed to be a beneficiary of such conditions, any or all of which may be freely waived in whole or in part by Lender if, in Lender’s sole discretion, Lender deems it advisable or desirable to do so.

Section 9.17Publicity.  All news releases, publicity or advertising by Borrower or its Affiliates through any media intended to reach the general public which refers to the Loan Documents or the financing evidenced by the Loan Documents, to Lender, JPMorgan Chase Bank, National Association or any of their Affiliates (with respect to the Loan and the Securitization of the Loan only) shall be subject to the prior written approval of Lender and JPMorgan Chase Bank, National Association in their sole discretion.  Lender shall have the right to publicly describe the Loan in general terms advertising and public communications of all kinds, including press releases, direct mail, newspapers, magazines, journals, e‑mail, or internet advertising or communications.  Details such as the addresses of the Properties, the amount of the Loan, the date of the closing and descriptions of the size/locations of the Properties shall only be included subject to Borrower’s approval in advance.  Notwithstanding the foregoing,

- 142 -

 


Borrower’s approval shall not be required for the publication by Lender of notice of the Loan and the Securitization of the Loan by means of a customary tombstone advertisement, which, for the avoidance of doubt, may include the amount of the Loan, the amount of securities sold, the number of Properties as of the Closing Date, the settlement date and the parties involved in the transactions contemplated hereby and the Securitization.

Section 9.18Cross Default; Cross Collateralization; Waiver of Marshalling of Assets.

(a)Borrower acknowledges that Lender has made the Loan to Borrower upon the security of its collective interest in the Properties and in reliance upon the aggregate of the Properties taken together being of greater value as collateral security than the sum of each Property taken separately.  Borrower agrees that the Mortgages are and will be cross-collateralized and cross-defaulted with each other so that (i) an Event of Default under any of the Mortgages shall constitute an Event of Default under each of the other Mortgages which secure the Note; (ii) an Event of Default under the Note or this Agreement shall constitute an Event of Default under each Mortgage; (iii) each Mortgage shall constitute security for the Note as if a single blanket lien were placed on all of the Properties as security for the Note; and (iv) such cross-collateralization shall in no event be deemed to constitute a fraudulent conveyance.

(b)To the fullest extent permitted by law, Borrower, for itself and its successors and assigns, waives all rights to a marshalling of the assets of Borrower, Borrower’s partners and others with interests in Borrower, and of the Properties, or to a sale in inverse order of alienation in the event of foreclosure of all or any of the Mortgages, and agrees not to assert any right under any laws pertaining to the marshalling of assets, the sale in inverse order of alienation, homestead exemption, the administration of estates of decedents, or any other matters whatsoever to defeat, reduce or affect the right of Lender under the Loan Documents to a sale of the Properties for the collection of the Debt without any prior or different resort for collection or of the right of Lender to the payment of the Debt out of the net proceeds of the Properties in preference to every other claimant whatsoever.  In addition, Borrower, for itself and its successors and assigns, waives in the event of foreclosure of any or all of the Mortgages, any equitable right otherwise available to Borrower which would require the separate sale of the Properties or require Lender to exhaust its remedies against any Property or any combination of the Properties before proceeding against any other Property or combination of Properties; and further in the event of such foreclosure Borrower does hereby expressly consents to and authorizes, at the option of Lender, the foreclosure and sale either separately or together of any combination of the Properties.

subject to any limitation whatsoever in the exercise of any rights or remedies available to it under any of the Loan Documents or any other agreements or instruments which govern the Loan by virtue of the ownership by it or any parent, subsidiary or Affiliate of Lender of any equity interest any of them may acquire in Borrower, and Borrower hereby irrevocably waives the right to raise any defense or take any action on the basis of the foregoing with respect to Lender’s exercise of any such rights or remedies.  Borrower acknowledges that Lender engages in the business of real estate financings and other real estate transactions and investments which may be viewed as adverse to or competitive with the business of Borrower or its Affiliates.
