(4)                                  Promptly after the determination of any interest rate provided for herein or any change therein, the Administrative Agent shall give notice thereof to the Lenders to which such interest is payable and to Borrower, but the failure of the Administrative Agent to provide such notice shall not affect Borrower’s obligation for the payment of interest on the Loans.

(5)                                  In addition to any sums due under this Section 2.3, Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Lenders a late payment premium in the amount of four percent (4%) of (i) any payments of principal under the Loans made and payable after the due date thereof (other than the repayment of the outstanding principal balance on the Maturity Date), and (ii) any payments of interest or other sums under the Loans made more than ten (10) days after the due date thereof, which late payment premium shall be due with any such late payment or upon demand by the Administrative Agent.  Such late payment charge represents the reasonable estimate of Borrower and the Lenders of a fair average compensation for the loss that may be sustained by the Lenders due to the failure of Borrower to make timely payments.  Such late charge shall be paid without prejudice to the right of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders to collect any other amounts provided herein or in the other Loan Documents to be paid or to exercise any other rights or remedies under the Loan Documents.

Section 2.4                                   Terms of Payment.  The Loans shall be payable as follows:

(1)                                  Interest.  On the date hereof, Borrower shall make a payment of interest only covering the period from the date hereof through and including August 31, 2006 (the “Stub Interest Period”), and beginning on October 1, 2006, and on the first Business Day of each month thereafter, Borrower shall pay interest in arrears on each Payment Date in accordance with the wire transfer instructions set forth on Schedule 2.4(1) attached hereto (or such other instructions as the Administrative Agent may from time to time provide) until all amounts due under the Loan Documents are paid in full.

(2)                                  Principal Amortization.  Commencing September 20, 2006, and on or before the twentieth day of each month during the term the Loans, Borrower shall pay to Lender one hundred percent (100%) of the Net Operating Cash Flow (“Mandatory Net Operating Cash Flow Installments”) for the immediately preceding month; provided, however, that the Mandatory Net Operating Flow Installment due on September 20, 2006 shall include one hundred percent (100%) of the Net Operating Cash Flow from the Closing Date through the 31st of August, 2006.  Such amount shall be applied in reduction of the unpaid principal balance of the Loans.  In addition to the foregoing amounts, Borrower shall also make mandatory prepayments of principal from Net Sales Cash Flow pursuant to Section 15.2 and payment of Release Prices pursuant to Section 14.5(4) and Section 14.5(8).

(3)                                  Maturity.  On the Maturity Date, Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent (on behalf of the Lenders) all outstanding principal, accrued and unpaid interest, and any other amounts due under the Loan Documents.

(4)                                  Optional Prepayments.  Subject to the provisions of Sections 2.4(6) and 2.8(5), Borrower shall have the right to prepay Loans in whole or in part, without premium or penalty; provided that:  (a) Borrower shall give the Administrative Agent notice of each such prepayment as provided in Section 2.7(5) (and, upon the date specified in any such notice of prepayment, the amount to be prepaid shall become due and payable hereunder) and (b) partial prepayments shall be in the minimum aggregate principal amounts specified in Section 2.7(4).  Loans that are prepaid cannot be reborrowed.  After giving notice of prepayment as provided in Section 2.7(5), but prior to the date specified in any such notice of

28




 

prepayment, such notice may be revoked by Borrower as long as Borrower pays within one (1) Business Day after notification from the Administrative Agent any amounts payable to a Lender pursuant to Section 2.8(5) as a result of any action taken by such Lender in reliance of such notice of prepayment.  In addition, in the event the specified Loans subject to the prepayment revocation are Eurodollar Loans, such Eurodollar Loans may, at the Administrative Agent’s option, be converted to Base Rate Loans for the balance of the then current Interest Period.

(5)                                  Mandatory Prepayments.  If a casualty or condemnation shall occur with respect to the Project, Borrower, upon Borrower’s or the Administrative Agent’s receipt of the applicable insurance proceeds or condemnation award, shall prepay the Loans, if required by the provisions of Article 3, on the dates and in the amounts specified therein without premium (but subject to the provisions of Sections 2.4(6) and 2.8(5)).  Nothing in this Section 2.4(5) shall be deemed to limit any obligation of Borrower under the Mortgage or any other Security Document, including any obligation to remit to a collateral or similar account maintained by the Administrative Agent pursuant to the Mortgage or any of the other Security Documents, the proceeds of insurance, condemnation award or other compensation received in respect of any casualty or condemnation.  In the event Borrower sells a Parking Space separate from a sale of a Unit, Borrower shall apply the greater of (i) 95% of the gross proceeds from the sale of such Parking Space and (ii) the Net Sales Proceeds from the sale of such Parking Space to prepay the Loans, which prepayment shall made without premium (but subject to the provisions of Section 2.4(6) and 2.8(5)).  For purposes of the immediately preceding sentence only, the definition of Net Sales Proceeds shall be deemed to apply only to Parking Spaces, and Net Sales Proceeds shall be determined without any deduction for items described in clauses (c) and (d) of such definition.

(6)                                  Interest and Other Charges on Prepayment.  If the Loans are prepaid, in whole or in part, pursuant to Section 2.4(4) or 2.4(5), each such prepayment shall be made on the prepayment date specified in the notice to the Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 2.7(5), and (in every case) together with (a) the accrued and unpaid interest on the principal amount prepaid and (b) any amounts payable to a Lender pursuant to Section 2.8(5) as a result of such prepayment while an Adjusted Libor Rate is in effect; provided, however, that any such prepayment shall be applied first, to the prepayment of any portions of the outstanding principal amount that are Base Rate Loans and, second, to the prepayment of any portions of the outstanding principal amount that are Eurodollar Loans applying such sums first to Eurodollar Loans of the shortest maturity so as to minimize breakage costs; provided further, however, that if an Event of Default exists, the Administrative Agent may distribute such payment to the Lenders for application in such manner as it or the Majority Lenders, subject to Section 2.7(2), may determine to be appropriate.

(7)                                  Application of Payments.  All payments received by the Administrative Agent under the Loan Documents shall be applied: first, to any fees and expenses due to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders under the Loan Documents; second, to any Default Rate interest or late charges; third, to accrued and unpaid interest; and fourth, to the principal sum in

29




 

accordance with Section 2.4(6) above and other amounts due under the Loan Documents; provided, however, that, if an Event of Default exists the Administrative Agent shall apply such payments in any order or manner as the Administrative Agent shall determine.

Section 2.5                                   Reserved.

Section 2.6                                   Cash Management.

(1)                                  Borrower shall cause all funds required to be deposited into the Cash Management Account to be deposited therein as and when required pursuant to the Cash Management Agreement.  Without limiting the foregoing, following the occurrence of an Event of Default, Borrower shall cause all rents from the Project to be deposited into the Clearing Account in accordance with the Clearing Account Agreement and the Cash Management Agreement, and, without limiting the Administrative Agent’s rights to deliver such notices on behalf of Borrower as set forth in the Cash Management Agreement, shall promptly, but in any event not later than fifteen (15) days following the occurrence of an Event of Default, deliver irrevocable written instructions to all tenants under leases to deliver all rents payable thereunder directly to the Clearing Account.  Disbursements from the Clearing Account, the Cash Management Account and the other “Accounts” created pursuant to the Cash Management Agreement will be made in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement and the Cash Management Agreement.  The Administrative Agent shall have sole dominion and control over the Clearing Account, the Cash Management Account and the other “Accounts” referred to in the Cash Management Agreement, and Borrower shall have no rights to make withdrawals therefrom.

(2)                                  The insufficiency of funds on deposit in the Clearing Account or the Cash Management Account (or any sub-account thereunder) shall not absolve Borrower of the obligation to make any payments as and when due pursuant to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and such obligations shall be separate and independent, and not conditioned on any event or circumstance whatsoever.

Section 2.7                                   Payments; Pro Rata Treatment; Etc.

(1)                                  Payments Generally.

(a)                                  Payments by Borrower.  Except to the extent otherwise provided herein, all payments of principal, interest and other amounts to be made by Borrower under this Agreement and the Notes, and, except to the extent otherwise provided therein, all payments to be made by Borrower under any other Loan Document, shall be made in Dollars, in immediately available funds, without deduction, setoff or counterclaim, to the Administrative Agent at an account designated by the Administrative Agent by notice to Borrower, not later than 12:00 noon, New York City time, on the date on which such payment shall become due (each such payment made after such time on such due date to be deemed to have been made on the next succeeding Business Day).

(b)                                 Application of Payments.  Subject to the provisions of Sections 2.4(7) and 2.7(2), Borrower shall, at the time of making each payment under this Agreement or any Note for the account of any Lender, specify to the Administrative Agent

30




 

(which shall so notify the intended recipient(s) thereof) the Types of Loans or other amounts payable by Borrower hereunder to which such payment is to be applied (and in the event that Borrower fails to so specify, or if an Event of Default exists, the Administrative Agent may distribute such payment to the Lenders for application in such manner as it may determine to be appropriate, subject to Section 2.7(2) and any other agreement among the Administrative Agent and the Lenders with respect to such application).

(c)                                  Forwarding of Payments by Administrative Agent.  Except as otherwise agreed by the Administrative Agent and the Lenders, each payment received by the Administrative Agent under this Agreement or any Note for account of any Lender shall be paid by the Administrative Agent promptly to such Lender, in immediately available funds, for account of such Lender’s Applicable Lending Office for the Loan or other obligation in respect of which such payment is made.

(d)                                 Extensions to Next Business Day.  If the due date of any payment under this Agreement or any Note would otherwise fall on a day that is not a Business Day, such date shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day, and interest shall be payable for any principal so extended for the period of such extension.

(2)                                  Pro Rata Treatment.  Except to the extent otherwise provided herein:  (a) each advance of a Loan from the Lenders under Section 2.1(1) shall be made from the Lenders, and any termination of the obligation to make an advance of the Loans shall be applied to the respective Commitments of the Lenders, pro rata according to the amounts of their respective Commitments; (b) except as otherwise provided in Section 2.8(4), Loans shall be allocated pro rata among the Lenders according to the amounts of their respective Commitments (in the case of the making of Loans) or their respective Loans (in the case of Conversions or Continuations of Loans); (c) each payment or prepayment of principal of Loans by Borrower shall be made for account of the Lenders pro rata in accordance with the respective unpaid principal amounts of the Loans held by them; and (d) each payment of interest on Loans by Borrower shall be made for account of the Lenders pro rata in accordance with the amounts of interest on such Loans then due and payable to the respective Lenders.

(3)                                  Computations.  Interest on all Loans shall be computed on the basis of a year of 360 days and actual days elapsed (including the first day but excluding the last day) occurring in the period for which payable.

(4)                                  Minimum Amounts.  Except for (a) mandatory and other prepayments made pursuant to Sections 2.4(2), 2.4(5), 14.5 and 15.2, (b) Conversions or prepayments made pursuant to Section 2.8(4), each Conversion and Continuation (collectively, “Loan Transactions”) of Loans shall be in an aggregate amount at least equal to $1,000,000 (Loan Transactions of or into Loans of different Types or Interest Periods at the same time hereunder shall be deemed separate Loan Transactions for purposes of the foregoing, one for each Type or Interest Period); provided that if any Loans or borrowings would otherwise be in a lesser principal amount for any period, such Loans shall be Base Rate Loans during such period.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, the minimum amount of $1,000,000 shall not apply to Conversions of lesser amounts into a Type of Loan that has (or will have upon such Conversion) an aggregate principal amount exceeding such minimum amount and a duration of at least one

31




 

Interest Period.  The initial borrowing hereunder shall be an aggregate amount at least equal to $500,000.

(5)                                  Certain Notices.  Notices by Borrower to the Administrative Agent regarding Loan Transactions and the selection of Types of Loans and/or of the duration of Interest Periods shall be irrevocable and shall be effective only if received by the Administrative Agent not later than 12:00 noon, New York City time, on the number of Business Days prior to the date of the proposed Loan Transaction or the first day of such Interest Period specified below:

Notice

Each such notice of a Loan Transaction shall specify the amount (subject to Section 2.7(4)), Type, and Interest Period of such proposed Loan Transaction, and the date (which shall be a Business Day) of such proposed Loan Transaction.  Notices for Conversions and Continuations shall be in the form of Exhibit E.  Each such notice specifying the duration of an Interest Period shall specify the portion of the Loans to which such Interest Period is to relate.  The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the Lenders of the contents of each such notice.  If Borrower fails to select (i) the Type of Loan or (ii) the duration of any Interest Period for any Eurodollar Loan within the time period (i.e., three (3) Business Days prior to the first day of the next applicable Interest Period) and otherwise as provided in this Section 2.7(5), such Loan (if outstanding as an Eurodollar Loan) will be automatically Continued as an Eurodollar Loan with an Interest Period of one (1) month on the last day of the current Interest Period for such Loan (based on a Libor Rate determined two (2) Business Days prior to the first day of the next Interest Period) or, if outstanding as a Base Rate Loan, will remain as a Base Rate Loan.

(6)                                  Non Receipt of Funds by the Administrative Agent.  Unless the Administrative Agent shall have been notified by a Lender or Borrower (in either case, the “Payor”) prior to the date on which the Payor is to make payment to the Administrative Agent of (in the case of a Lender) the proceeds of a Loan to be made by such Lender hereunder or (in the case of Borrower) a payment to the Administrative Agent for account of any Lender hereunder (in either case, such payment being herein called the “Required Payment”), which notice shall be effective upon receipt, that the Payor does not intend to make the Required Payment to the Administrative Agent, the Administrative Agent may assume that the Required Payment has been made and may, in reliance upon such assumption (but shall not be required to), make the amount thereof available to the intended recipient(s) on such date; and, if the Payor has not in fact made the Required Payment to the Administrative Agent, the recipient(s) of such payment shall, on demand, repay to the Administrative Agent the amount so made available together with

32




 

interest thereon in respect of each day during the period commencing on the date (the “Advance Date”) such amount was so made available by the Administrative Agent until the date the Administrative Agent recovers such amount at a rate per annum equal to (a) the Prime Rate for such day in the case of payments returned to the Administrative Agent by any of the Lenders or (b) the applicable interest rate due hereunder with respect to payments returned by Borrower to the Administrative Agent and, if such recipient(s) shall fail promptly to make such payment, the Administrative Agent shall be entitled to recover such amount, on demand, from the Payor, together with interest as aforesaid; provided that if neither the recipient(s) nor the Payor shall return the Required Payment to the Administrative Agent within three (3) Business Days of the Advance Date, then, retroactively to the Advance Date, the Payor and the recipient(s) shall each be obligated to pay interest on the Required Payment as follows:

(a)                                  if the Required Payment shall represent a payment to be made by Borrower to the Lenders, Borrower and the recipient(s) shall each be obligated retroactively to the Advance Date to pay interest in respect of the Required Payment at the Default Rate (without duplication of the obligation of Borrower under Section 2.3 to pay interest on the Required Payment at the Default Rate), it being understood that the return by the recipient(s) of the Required Payment to the Administrative Agent shall not limit such obligation of Borrower under Section 2.3 to pay interest at the Default Rate in respect of the Required Payment, and

(b)                                 if the Required Payment shall represent proceeds of a Loan to be made by the Lenders to Borrower, the Payor and Borrower shall each be obligated retroactively to the Advance Date to pay interest in respect of the Required Payment pursuant to whichever of the rates specified in Section 2.3 is applicable to the Type of such Loan, it being understood that the return by Borrower of the Required Payment to the Administrative Agent shall not limit any claim Borrower may have against the Payor in respect of such Required Payment.

(7)                                  Sharing of Payments, Etc.

(a)                                  Right of Set off.  Borrower agrees that, in addition to (and without limitation of) any right of set off, banker’s lien or counterclaim a Lender may otherwise have, (subject, as among the Lenders, to Section 12.26), each Lender shall be entitled, at its option (to the fullest extent permitted by law), to set off and apply any deposit (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final), or other indebtedness, held by it for the credit or account of Borrower at any of its offices, in Dollars or in any other currency, against any principal of or interest on any of such Lender’s Loans or any other amount payable to such Lender hereunder, that is not paid when due (regardless of whether such deposit or other indebtedness is then due to such Borrower), in which case it shall promptly notify Borrower and the Administrative Agent thereof, provided that such Lender’s failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity thereof.

(b)                                 Sharing.  If any Lender shall obtain from Borrower payment of any principal of or interest on any Loan owing to it or payment of any other amount under this Agreement or any other Loan Document through the exercise (subject, as among the Lenders, to Section 12.26) of any right of set off, banker’s lien or counterclaim or similar right or otherwise (other than from the Administrative Agent as provided herein), and, as a result of such payment, such Lender shall have received a greater percentage of the principal of or interest on the Loans

33




 

or such other amounts then due hereunder or thereunder by Borrower to such Lender than the percentage received by any other Lender, it shall promptly purchase from such other Lenders participations in (or, if and to the extent specified by such Lender, direct interests in) the Loans or such other amounts, respectively, owing to such other Lenders (or in interest due thereon, as the case may be) in such amounts, and make such other adjustments from time to time as shall be equitable, to the end that all the Lenders shall share the benefit of such excess payment (net of any expenses that may be incurred by such Lender in obtaining or preserving such excess payment) pro rata in accordance with the unpaid principal of and/or interest on the Loans or such other amounts, respectively, owing to each of the Lenders.  To such end all the Lenders shall make appropriate adjustments among themselves (by the resale of participations sold or otherwise) if such payment is rescinded or must otherwise be restored.

(c)                                  Consent by Borrower.  Borrower agrees that any Lender so purchasing such a participation (or direct interest) may exercise (subject, as among the Lenders, to Section 12.26) all rights of set off, banker’s lien, counterclaim or similar rights with respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender were a direct holder of Loans or other amounts (as the case may be) owing to such Lender in the amount of such participation.

(d)                                 Rights of Lenders; Bankruptcy.  Nothing contained herein shall require any Lender to exercise any such right or shall affect the right of any Lender to exercise, and retain the benefits of exercising, any such right with respect to any other indebtedness or obligation of Borrower.  If, under any applicable bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar law, any Lender receives a secured claim in lieu of a set off to which this Section 2.7(7) applies, such Lender shall, to the extent practicable, exercise its rights in respect of such secured claim in a manner consistent with the rights of the Lenders entitled under this Section 2.7(7) to share in the benefits of any recovery on such secured claim.

Section 2.8                                   Yield Protection; Etc.

(1)                                  Additional Costs.

(a)                                  Costs of Making or Maintaining Eurodollar Loans.  Borrower shall pay directly to each Lender from time to time such amounts as such Lender may reasonably determine to be necessary to compensate such Lender for any costs that such Lender determines are attributable to its making or maintaining of any Eurodollar Loans or its obligation to make any Eurodollar Loans hereunder, or any reduction in any amount receivable by such Lender hereunder in respect of any of such Eurodollar Loans or such obligation (such increases in costs and reductions in amounts receivable being herein called “Additional Costs”), resulting from any Regulatory Change that:

(i)                                     shall subject any Lender (or its Applicable Lending Office for any of such Loans) to any tax, duty or other charge in respect of such Loans or its Note or changes the basis of taxation of any amounts payable to such Lender under this Agreement or its Note in respect of any of such Loans (excluding changes in the rate of tax on the overall net income of such Lender or of such Applicable Lending Office by the jurisdiction in which such Lender has its principal office or such Applicable Lending Office); or

34




 

(ii)                                  imposes or modifies any reserve, special deposit or similar requirements (other than the Reserve Requirement used in the determination of the Adjusted Libor Rate for any Interest Period for such Loan) relating to any extensions of credit or other assets of, or any deposits with or other liabilities of, such Lender (including, without limitation, any of such Loans or any deposits referred to in the definition of “Libor Rate”), or any commitment of such Lender (including, without limitation, the Commitment of such Lender hereunder); or

(iii)                               imposes any other condition affecting this Agreement or its Note (or any of such extensions of credit or liabilities) or its Commitment.

If any Lender requests compensation from Borrower under this paragraph (a), Borrower may, by notice to such Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), suspend the obligation of such Lender thereafter to make or Continue Eurodollar Loans, or to Convert Loans into Eurodollar Loans, until the Regulatory Change giving rise to such request ceases to be in effect (in which case the provisions of Section 2.8(4) shall be applicable), provided that such suspension shall not affect the right of such Lender to receive the compensation so requested.

(b)                                 Costs Attributable to Regulatory Change or Risk-Based Capital Guidelines.  Without limiting the effect of the foregoing provisions of this Section 2.8(1) (but without duplication), Borrower shall pay directly to each Lender from time to time on request such amounts as such Lender may determine to be necessary to compensate such Lender (or, without duplication, the bank holding company of which such Lender is a subsidiary) for any costs that it determines are attributable to the maintenance by such Lender (or any Applicable Lending Office or such bank holding company), pursuant to any law or regulation or any interpretation, directive or request (whether or not having the force of law and whether or not failure to comply therewith would be unlawful) of any court or governmental or monetary authority (i) following any Regulatory Change or (ii) implementing any risk based capital guideline or other requirement (whether or not having the force of law and whether or not the failure to comply therewith would be unlawful) hereafter issued by any government or governmental or supervisory authority implementing at the national level the Basle Accord, of capital in respect of its Commitment or Loans (such compensation to include, without limitation, an amount equal to any reduction of the rate of return on assets or equity of such Lender (or any Applicable Lending Office or such bank holding company) to a level below that which such Lender (or any Applicable Lending Office or such bank holding company) could have achieved but for such law, regulation, interpretation, directive or request.

(c)                                  Notification and Certification.  Each Lender shall notify Borrower of any event occurring after the date hereof entitling such Lender to compensation under paragraph (a) or (b) of this Section 2.8(1) as promptly as practicable, but in any event within forty-five (45) days, after such Lender obtains actual knowledge thereof; provided that (i) if any Lender fails to give such notice within forty-five (45) days after it obtains actual knowledge of such an event, such Lender shall, with respect to compensation payable pursuant to this Section 2.8(1) in respect of any costs resulting from such event, only be entitled to payment under this Section 2.8(1) for costs incurred from and after the date thirty (30) days prior to the date that such Lender does give such notice and (ii) each Lender will designate a different Applicable Lending Office for the Loans of such Lender affected by such event if such

35




 

designation will avoid the need for, or reduce the amount of, such compensation and will not, in the sole opinion of such Lender, be disadvantageous to such Lender, except that such Lender shall have no obligation to designate an Applicable Lending Office located in the United States of America.  Each Lender will furnish to Borrower a certificate setting forth the basis and amount of each request by such Lender for compensation under paragraph (a) or (b) of this Section 2.8(1).  Determinations and allocations by any Lender for purposes of this Section 2.8(1) of the effect of any Regulatory Change pursuant to paragraph (a) of this Section 2.8(1), or of the effect of capital maintained pursuant to paragraph (b) of this Section 2.8(1), on its costs or rate of return of maintaining Loans or its obligation to make Loans, or on amounts receivable by it in respect of Loans, and of the amounts required to compensate such Lender under this Section 2.8(1), shall be conclusive, provided that such determinations and allocations are made on a reasonable basis.

Borrower shall be obligated to pay compensation to a Lender pursuant to subsections (a) and (b) of this Section 2.8(1) only if such Lender is imposing similar compensation requirements on borrowers under commercial loans of the same type and quality as the Loan and which are similarly affected by the Regulatory Change or other guidelines or requirements for which such Lender is seeking compensation from Borrower pursuant to this Section 2.8(1).

(2)                                  Limitation on Types of Loans.  Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, if, on or prior to the determination of the Libor Rate for any Interest Period for any Eurodollar Loan:

(a)                                  the Administrative Agent determines, which determination shall be conclusive, that quotations of interest rates for the relevant deposits referred to in the definition of Libor Rate are not being provided in the relevant amounts or for the relevant maturities for purposes of determining rates of interest for Eurodollar Loans as provided herein; or

(b)                                 the Majority Lenders determine, which determination shall be conclusive, and notify the Administrative Agent that the relevant rates of interest referred to in the definition of Libor Rate upon the basis of which the rate of interest for Eurodollar Loans for such Interest Period is to be determined are not likely adequately to cover the cost to such Lenders of making or maintaining Eurodollar Loans for such Interest Period;

then the Administrative Agent shall give Borrower and each Lender prompt notice thereof and, so long as such condition remains in effect, the Lenders shall be under no obligation to make additional Eurodollar Loans, to Continue Eurodollar Loans or to Convert Loans of any other Type into Eurodollar Loans, and Borrower shall, on the last day(s) of the then current Interest Period(s) for the outstanding Eurodollar Loans, either prepay such Loans or such Loans shall be automatically Converted into Base Rate Loans.

(3)                                  Illegality.  Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, in the event that it becomes unlawful for any Lender or its Applicable Lending Office to honor its obligation to make or maintain Eurodollar Loans hereunder (and, in the sole opinion of such Lender, the designation of a different Applicable Lending Office would either not avoid such unlawfulness or would be disadvantageous to such Lender), then such Lender shall promptly notify Borrower thereof (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) and such Lender’s obligation

36




 

to make or Continue, or to Convert Loans of any other Type into, Eurodollar Loans shall be suspended until such time as such Lender may again make and maintain Eurodollar Loans (in which case the provisions of Section 2.8(4) shall be applicable).

(4)                                  Treatment of Affected Loans.  If the obligation of any Lender to make Eurodollar Loans or to Continue, or to Convert Base Rate Loans into, Eurodollar Loans shall be suspended pursuant to Section 2.8(1) or 2.8(3), such Lender’s Loans shall be automatically Converted into Base Rate Loans on the last day(s) of the then current Interest Period(s) for Loans (or, in the case of a Conversion resulting from a circumstance described in Section 2.8(3), on such earlier date as such Lender may specify to Borrower with a copy to the Administrative Agent) and, unless and until such Lender gives notice as provided below that the circumstances specified in Section 2.8(1) or 2.8(3) that gave rise to such Conversion no longer exist:

(a)                                  to the extent that such Lender’s Loans have been so Converted, all payments and prepayments of principal that would otherwise be applied to such Lender’s Loans shall be applied instead to its Base Rate Loans; and

(b)                                 all Loans that would otherwise be made or Continued by such Lender as Eurodollar Loans shall be made or Continued instead as Base Rate Loans, and all Loans of such Lender that would otherwise be Converted into Eurodollar Loans shall remain as Base Rate Loans.

If such Lender gives notice to Borrower with a copy to the Administrative Agent that the circumstances specified in Section 2.8(1) or 2.8(3) that gave rise to the Conversion of such Lender’s Loans pursuant to this Section 2.8(4) no longer exist (which such Lender agrees to do promptly upon such circumstances ceasing to exist) at a time when Eurodollar Loans made by other Lenders are outstanding, such Lender’s Base Rate Loans shall be automatically Converted, on the first day(s) of the next succeeding Interest Period(s) for such outstanding Eurodollar Loans, to the extent necessary so that, after giving effect thereto, all Base Rate Loans and Eurodollar Loans are allocated among the Lenders ratably (as to principal amounts, Types and Interest Periods) in accordance with their respective Commitments.

(5)                                  Compensation.  Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent for account of each Lender, upon the request of such Lender through the Administrative Agent, such amount or amounts as shall be sufficient (in the reasonable opinion of such Lender) to compensate it for any loss, cost or expense that such Lender determines is attributable to:

(a)                                  any payment, prepayment or Conversion of a Eurodollar Loan made by such Lender for any reason (including, without limitation, the acceleration of the Loans pursuant to the Administrative Agent’s or the Lenders’ rights referred to in Article 11) on a date other than the last day of the Interest Period for such Loan; or

(b)                                 any failure by Borrower for any reason to borrow a Eurodollar Loan from such Lender on the date for such borrowing specified in the relevant notice of borrowing given to the Administrative Agent in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

(10)                            All insurance policies shall be endorsed in form and substance acceptable to the Administrative Agent to name the Administrative Agent (on behalf of the Lenders) as an additional insured, loss payee or mortgagee thereunder, as its interest may appear, with loss payable to the Administrative Agent, without contribution, under a standard New York (or local equivalent) mortgagee clause.  All such insurance policies and endorsements shall be fully paid for and contain such provisions and expiration dates and be in such form and issued by such insurance companies licensed to do business in the State, with a rating of “A-IX” or better as established by Best’s Rating Guide (or an equivalent rating approved in writing by the Administrative Agent).  Each policy shall provide that such policy may not be cancelled or materially changed except upon thirty (30) days’ prior written notice of intention of non-renewal, cancellation or material change to the Administrative Agent and that no act or thing done by Borrower shall invalidate any policy as against the Administrative Agent or any Lender.  If Borrower fails to maintain insurance in compliance with this Section 3.1, the Administrative Agent may obtain such insurance and pay the premium therefor and Borrower shall, on demand, reimburse the Administrative Agent for all expenses incurred in connection therewith.  Borrower shall assign the policies or proofs of insurance to the Administrative Agent (on behalf of the Lenders), in such manner and form that the Administrative Agent and its successors and assigns shall at all times require and hold the same as security for the payment of the Loans.  Borrower shall deliver copies of evidence of such coverage on original policies certified to the Administrative Agent by the insurance company or authorized agent as being true copies, together with the endorsements required hereunder.  The proceeds of insurance policies coming into the possession of the Administrative Agent shall not be deemed trust funds, and the Administrative Agent shall be entitled to apply such proceeds as herein provided.

Section 3.3                                   Use and Application of Insurance Proceeds.  Except as otherwise provided in Section 9.17(2), the Administrative Agent shall apply insurance proceeds to costs of restoring the Project or the Loans as follows:

(1)                                  If the loss is less than or equal to the Threshold Amount, the Administrative Agent shall apply the insurance proceeds to restoration provided (a) no Event of Default or Potential Default exists, (b) Borrower promptly commences and is diligently pursuing restoration of the Project and (c) the Hotel Management Agreement in effect as of the date of the occurrence of such casualty or condemnation, whichever the case may be, shall (i) remain in full force and effect during such restoration and shall not otherwise terminate as a result of the casualty or condemnation or the restoration or (ii) if terminated, shall have been replaced with a replacement Hotel Management Agreement with a Qualified Hotel Manager, prior to the opening or reopening of the Project or any portion thereof for business with the public.

(2)                                  If the loss exceeds the Threshold Amount but is not more than ten percent (10%) of the replacement value of the improvements, the Administrative Agent shall apply the insurance proceeds to restoration provided that at all times during such restoration (a) no Event of Default or Potential Default exists; (b) the Administrative Agent determines that there are sufficient funds available to restore and repair the Project to a condition approved by the Administrative Agent; (c) the Administrative Agent determines that the Net Operating Income of the Project during restoration together with the Interest Reserve will be sufficient to pay Debt Service; (d) the Administrative Agent determines that restoration and repair of the Project to a condition approved by the Administrative Agent will be completed within six (6) months after

43




 

the date of loss or casualty and in any event ninety (90) days prior to the Maturity Date; (e) Borrower promptly commences and is diligently pursuing restoration of the Project; and (f) the Hotel Management Agreement in effect as of the date of the occurrence of such casualty or condemnation, whichever the case may be, shall (i) remain in full force and effect during such restoration and shall not otherwise terminate as a result of the casualty or condemnation or the restoration or (ii) if terminated, shall have been replaced with a replacement Hotel Management Agreement with a Qualified Hotel Manager, prior to the opening or reopening of the Project or any portion thereof for business with the public.

(3)                                  If the conditions set forth above are not satisfied or the loss exceeds the maximum amount specified in Section 3.3(2) above, in the Administrative Agent’s sole discretion, the Administrative Agent may (subject to the approval of the Majority Lenders) apply any insurance proceeds it may receive to the payment of the Loans, without any prepayment penalty or payment, or allow all or a portion of such proceeds to be used for the restoration of the Project.

Section 3.4                                   Disbursement of Proceeds.

(1)                                  All insurance proceeds required to be held by the Administrative Agent in the Casualty/Taking Account in accordance with the Cash Management Agreement and, until disbursed in accordance with the provisions of this Section 3.4, shall constitute additional security for the Loans.  Upon receipt of evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent that all the conditions precedent to such advance, including, if applicable, those set forth in Section 3.3(2) above, have been satisfied, the insurance proceeds shall be disbursed by the Administrative Agent to, or as directed by, Borrower from time to time during the course of the restoration in substantially the same manner and subject to similar conditions as if such advances were being made in connection with a construction loan, such manner of disbursement and conditions to be reasonably determined by the Administrative Agent, including the Administrative Agent’s receipt of (A) advice from a Restoration Consultant (who shall be employed by the Administrative Agent at Borrower’s sole expense) that the work completed or materials installed conform to said budget and plans, as approved by the Administrative Agent, (B) evidence that all materials installed and work and labor performed to the date of the applicable advance (except to the extent that they are to be paid for out of the requested disbursement) in connection with the restoration have been paid for in full, including the receipt of waivers of lien, contractor’s certificates, surveys, receipted bills, releases, title policy endorsements and such other evidences of cost, payment and performance satisfactory to the Administrative Agent, and (C) evidence that there exist no notices of pendency, stop orders, mechanic’s or materialman’s liens or notices of intention to file same, or any other Liens of any nature whatsoever on the Project which are not being contested or have not either been fully bonded to the reasonable satisfaction of the Administrative Agent and discharged of record or in the alternative fully insured to the reasonable satisfaction of the Administrative Agent under the title policy obtained in connection with the Loans made herein.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, but subject to the other provisions of this Section 3.4, in the event of a loss which is less than or equal to the Threshold Amount, Administrative Agent shall disburse the insurance proceeds to Borrower from time to time during the course of the renovation upon written request therefor from Borrower to pay the costs of such renovation, provided that at all times (i) Borrower is diligently pursuing the completion of such renovation in a good and workmanlike manner, (ii)

44




 

such advances are being used to reimburse Borrower for, or to pay directly to the third parties entitled thereto, the costs of such renovation, and (iii) upon Administrative Agent’s request from time to time, Administrative Agent shall have received evidence of the type referred to in clause (C) above.

(2)                                  All plans and specifications required in connection with the restoration shall be subject to prior review and approval (such approval not to be unreasonably withheld) in all respects by the Administrative Agent and by an independent consulting engineer selected by the Administrative Agent (the “Restoration Consultant”).  The Administrative Agent shall have the use of the plans and specifications and all permits, licenses and approvals required or obtained in connection with the restoration.  The identity of the contractors, subcontractors and materialmen engaged in the restoration, as well as all contracts having a cost in excess of $50,000.00, shall be subject to prior review and approval by the Administrative Agent and the Restoration Consultant.  All costs and expenses incurred by the Administrative Agent in connection with making the insurance proceeds available for the restoration including reasonable counsel fees and disbursements and the Restoration Consultant’s fees, shall be paid by Borrower.  Borrower shall also obtain, at its sole cost and expense, all necessary government approvals as and when required in connection with such restoration and provide copies thereof to the Administrative Agent and Restoration Consultant.

(3)                                  In no event shall the Administrative Agent be obligated to make disbursements of the insurance proceeds in excess of an amount equal to the costs actually incurred from time to time for work in place as part of the restoration, as certified by the Restoration Consultant, minus the Restoration Retainage.  The term “Restoration Retainage” means the greater of (i) an amount equal to ten percent (10%) of the costs actually incurred for work in place as part of the restoration, as certified by the Restoration Consultant and (ii) the amount actually held back by Borrower from contractors, subcontractors and materialmen engaged in the restoration.  The Restoration Retainage shall not be released until the Restoration Consultant certifies to the Administrative Agent that the restoration has been substantially completed in accordance with the provisions of this Section 3.4, subject to punch-list items and other non-material items of work and that all approvals necessary for the re-occupancy and use of the Project have been obtained from all appropriate governmental authorities, and the Administrative Agent receives evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent that the costs of the restoration have been paid in full or will be paid in full out of the Restoration Retainage; provided, however, that the Administrative Agent will release the portion of the Restoration Retainage being held with respect to any contractor, subcontractor or materialman engaged in the restoration as of the date upon which the Restoration Consultant certifies to the Administrative Agent that such contractor, subcontractor or materialman has satisfactorily completed all work and has supplied all materials in accordance with its contract, and the Administrative Agent receives lien waivers and evidence of payment in full of all sums due to such contractor, subcontractor or materialman as may be reasonably requested by the Administrative Agent or by the title company issuing the title policy, and the Administrative Agent receives an endorsement to the title policy insuring the continued priority of the lien of the Mortgage and evidence of payment of any premium payable for such endorsement.  If required by the Administrative Agent, the release of any such portion of the Restoration Retainage shall be approved by the surety company, if any, which has issued a payment or performance bond with respect to such contractor, subcontractor or materialman.

45




 

(4)                                  The Administrative Agent shall not be obligated to make disbursements of the insurance proceeds more frequently than once per month.

(5)                                  If at any time the insurance proceeds or the undisbursed balance thereof shall not, in the reasonable opinion of the Administrative Agent in consultation with the Restoration Consultant, be sufficient to pay in full the balance of the costs which are estimated by the Restoration Consultant to be incurred in connection with the completion of the restoration, Borrower shall deposit the deficiency (the “Insurance Proceeds Deficiency”) with the Administrative Agent within fifteen (15) Business Days of the Administrative Agent’s request and before any further disbursement of the insurance proceeds shall be made.  The Insurance Proceeds Deficiency shall be held in the Casualty/Taking Account in accordance with the Cash Management Agreement and shall be disbursed for costs actually incurred in connection with the restoration on the same conditions applicable to the disbursement of the insurance proceeds, and, until so disbursed, shall constitute additional security for the Loans.

(6)                                  After the Restoration Consultant certifies to the Administrative Agent that a restoration has been substantially completed in accordance with the provisions of this Section 3.4, and the receipt by the Administrative Agent of evidence satisfactory to the Administrative Agent that all costs incurred in connection with the restoration have been paid in full, the excess, if any, of the insurance proceeds and the remaining balance, if any, of the Insurance Proceeds Deficiency deposited with the Administrative Agent shall be remitted to Borrower, provided that no Potential Default or Event of Default shall exist.

(7)                                  All insurance proceeds not required (i) to be made available for the restoration or (ii) to be returned to Borrower as excess insurance proceeds pursuant to subsection (6) above may (A) be retained and applied by the Administrative Agent toward the payment of the Loans, whether or not then due and payable, in the order set forth in Section 2.4(7) so long as no Event of Default exists, and, if an Event of Default exists, in such order, priority and proportions as the Administrative Agent in its sole discretion shall deem proper, or, (B) at the sole discretion of the Administrative Agent, the same may be paid, either in whole or in part, to Borrower for such purposes and upon such conditions as the Administrative Agent shall designate.

(8)                                  Notwithstanding any casualty, Borrower shall continue to make payments with respect to the outstanding principal amount in the manner provided in the Notes, this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and the outstanding principal amount shall not be reduced unless and until (i) any insurance proceeds or condemnation award shall have been actually received by the Administrative Agent, (ii) the Administrative Agent shall have deducted its reasonable expenses of collecting such proceeds and (iii) the Administrative Agent shall have applied any portion of the balance thereof to the repayment of the outstanding principal amount in accordance with Section 3.4(7).  The Lenders shall not be limited to the interest paid on any condemnation award but shall continue to be entitled to receive interest as provided in Article 2.

(2)                                  Disbursements.  Borrower shall furnish the Administrative Agent with (i) bills for the charges for which such deposits are required and (ii) a disbursement request (in a form reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent), executed by an authorized officer of Borrower, at least fifteen (15) days prior to the date on which the charges first become payable.  Provided that no Event of Default exists, the Administrative Agent will direct the Depository Bank apply the Tax and Insurance Reserve Fund to payments of insurance premiums and real estate taxes required to be made by the Borrower pursuant to Sections 3.1 and 9.2, respectively, and under the Mortgage but, in any event, not earlier than ten (10) days prior to the due dates thereof.  In making any payment relating to the Tax and Insurance Reserve Fund, the Depository Bank may do so according to any bill, statement or

47




 

estimate procured from the appropriate public office (with respect to real estate taxes) or insurer or agent (with respect to insurance premiums), without inquiry into the accuracy of such bill, statement or estimate or into the validity of any tax, assessment, sale, forfeiture, tax lien or title or claim thereof unless said bill, statement or estimate is obviously incorrect.  If the amount of the Tax and Insurance Reserve Fund shall exceed the amounts due for insurance premiums and real estate taxes pursuant to Sections 3.1 and 9.2, the Administrative Agent shall, in its sole discretion, return any excess to Borrower or credit such excess against future payments to be made to the Tax and Insurance Reserve Fund.  Provided that on the date that said real estate taxes are due and payable, no Event of Default exists and sufficient funds are on deposit in the Tax and Insurance Reserve Fund to pay real estate taxes, Borrower shall not be liable to pay and shall not be charged with any late charges, interest and/or penalties imposed by or payable to any governmental authority as a result of the Depository Bank’s failure to pay real estate taxes prior to the date that same become delinquent.

Section 4.3                                   Reserved.

(f)                                    from time to time upon request by the Administrative Agent, to furnish such further assurances of Borrower’s title with respect to the Reserve Account Collateral, execute such written agreements, or do such other acts, all as may be reasonably necessary to effectuate the purposes of this agreement or as may be required by law, or in order to perfect or continue the first-priority lien and security interest of the Administrative Agent in the Reserve Account Collateral.

(2)                                  Rights on Event of Default.  Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, the Administrative Agent, at its option, may withdraw the Reserve Funds and the other funds in the Security Accounts and apply such funds to the items for which the Reserve Funds were established or to payment of the Loans in such order, proportion and priority as the Administrative Agent may determine in its sole discretion.  The

49




 

Administrative Agent’s right to withdraw and apply such funds shall be in addition to all other rights and remedies provided to the Administrative Agent on behalf of the Lenders under the Loan Documents.

(3)                                  Prohibition Against Further Encumbrance.  Borrower shall not, without the prior consent of the Administrative Agent, further pledge, assign or grant any security interest in the Reserve Funds or the Security Accounts or permit any Lien to attach.

57




 

operation of the Project to operation as a hotel, such hotel shall be managed by the Hotel Manager pursuant to the Hotel Management Agreement.

Section 7.15                            No Conflicts.  The execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents by Borrower and each Borrower Party will not conflict with or result in a breach of any of the terms or provisions of, or constitute a default under, or result in the creation or imposition of any Lien (other than pursuant to the Loan Documents) upon any of the property or assets any such party pursuant to the terms of any indenture, mortgage, deed of trust, loan agreement, operating agreement or other agreement or instrument to which Borrower or any Borrower Party is a party or by which any of property or assets of Borrower or any Borrower Party is subject, nor will such action result in any violation of the provisions of any statute or any order, rule or regulation of any court or governmental agency or body having jurisdiction over Borrower or any Borrower Party or any properties or assets of Borrower or any Borrower Party, and any consent, approval, authorization, order, registration or qualification of or with any court or any such regulatory authority or other governmental agency or body required for the execution, delivery and performance by Borrower or any Borrower Party of this Agreement or any other Loan Documents has been obtained and is in full force and effect.

Section 7.17                            Flood Zone.  Project is located in an area identified by the Secretary of Housing and Urban Development or any successor thereto as an area having special flood hazards pursuant to the National Flood Insurance Act of 1968, the Flood Disaster Protection Act of 1973 or the National Flood Insurance Act of 1994, as amended, or any successor law.

Section 7.18                            Insurance.  Borrower has obtained and has delivered to the Administrative Agent certificates of insurance or certified copies of all of the insurance policies for the Project reflecting the insurance coverages, amounts and other insurance requirements set forth in this Agreement.  No claims have been made under any such policy, and no Person, including Borrower, has done, by act or omission, anything which would impair the coverage of any such policy.

that in no event, whether by reason of acceleration of maturity or otherwise, shall the amount paid or agreed to be paid to the Administrative Agent or any Lender or charged by any Lender for the use, forbearance or detention of the money to be lent hereunder or otherwise, exceed the maximum amount allowed by law.  If the Loans would be usurious under Applicable Law (including the laws of the State, the laws of the State of New York and the laws of the United States of America), then, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Loan Documents: (1) the aggregate of all consideration which constitutes interest under Applicable Law that is contracted for, taken, reserved, charged or received under the Loan Documents shall under no circumstances exceed the maximum amount of interest allowed by Applicable Law, and any excess shall be credited on the Notes by the holders thereof (or, if the Notes have been paid in full, refunded to Borrower); and (2) if maturity is accelerated by reason of an election by the Administrative Agent in accordance with the terms hereof, or in the event of any prepayment, then any consideration which constitutes interest may never include more than the maximum amount allowed by Applicable Law.  In such case, excess interest, if any, provided for in the Loan Documents or otherwise, to the extent permitted by Applicable Law, shall be amortized, prorated, allocated and spread from the date of advance until payment in full so that the actual rate of interest is uniform through the term hereof.  If such amortization, proration, allocation and spreading is not permitted under Applicable Law, then such excess interest shall be cancelled automatically as of the date of such acceleration or prepayment and, if theretofore paid, shall be credited on the Notes (or, if the Notes have been paid in full, refunded to Borrower).  The terms and provisions of this Section 12.3 shall control and supersede every other provision of the Loan Documents.  The Loan Documents are contracts made under and shall be construed in accordance with and governed by the laws of the State of New York, except that if at any time the laws of the United States of America permit the Lenders to contract for, take, reserve, charge or receive a higher rate of interest than is allowed by the laws of the State of New York (whether such federal laws directly so provide or refer to the law of any state), then such federal laws shall to such extent govern as to the rate of interest which the Lenders may contract for, take, reserve, charge or receive under the Loan Documents.

Section 12.4                            Invalid Provisions.  If any provision of any Loan Document is held to be illegal, invalid or unenforceable, such provision shall be fully severable; the Loan Documents shall be construed and enforced as if such illegal, invalid or unenforceable provision had never comprised a part thereof; the remaining provisions thereof shall remain in full effect and shall not be affected by the illegal, invalid, or unenforceable provision or by its severance therefrom; and in lieu of such illegal, invalid or unenforceable provision there shall be added automatically as a part of such Loan Document a provision as similar in terms to such illegal, invalid or unenforceable provision as may be possible to be legal, valid and enforceable.

Section 12.5                            Reimbursement of Expenses.  Borrower shall pay or reimburse the Administrative Agent and/or the Lenders on demand of the applicable party for: (1) all expenses incurred by the Administrative Agent in connection with the Loans, including fees and expenses of the Administrative Agent’s attorneys, environmental, engineering and other consultants, and fees, charges or taxes for the negotiation, recording or filing of Loan Documents, (2) all expenses of the Administrative Agent in connection with the administration of the Loans, including audit costs, inspection fees, attorneys’ fees and disbursement, settlement of condemnation and casualty awards, and premiums for title insurance and endorsements thereto, (3) all of the Administrative Agent’s reasonable costs and expenses (including reasonable fees and disbursements of the

80




 

Administrative Agent’s external counsel) incurred in connection with the syndication of the Loans to the Lenders and the actions taken pursuant to Section 12.10 (provided, however, that Borrower’s obligation to reimburse the Administrative Agent’s costs and expenses incurred in the Syndication of the Loans or the splitting, modification, componentization or other severance of the Loans pursuant to Section 12.27(2) shall not exceed $15,000), and (4) the Administrative Agent and the Lenders for all amounts expended, advanced or incurred by the Administrative Agent and the Lenders to collect the Notes, or to enforce the rights of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders under this Agreement or any other Loan Document, or to defend or assert the rights and claims of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders under the Loan Documents or with respect to the Project (by litigation or other proceedings), which amounts will include all court costs, attorneys’ fees and expenses, fees of auditors and accountants, and investigation expenses as may be incurred by the Administrative Agent and the Lenders in connection with any such matters (whether or not litigation is instituted), together with interest at the Default Rate on each such amount from the date of disbursement until the date of reimbursement to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders, all of which shall constitute part of the Loans and shall be secured by the Loan Documents.

Section 12.6                            Approvals; Third Parties; Conditions.  All approval rights retained or exercised by the Administrative Agent and the Lenders with respect to leases, contracts, plans, studies and other matters are solely to facilitate the Lenders’ credit underwriting, and shall not be deemed or construed as a determination that the Lenders have passed on the adequacy thereof for any other purpose and may not be relied upon by Borrower or any other Person.  This Agreement is for the sole and exclusive use of the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and Borrower and may not be enforced, nor relied upon, by any Person other than the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and Borrower.  All conditions of the obligations of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders hereunder, including the obligation to make advances, are imposed solely and exclusively for the benefit of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders, their successors and assigns, and no other Person shall have standing to require satisfaction of such conditions or be entitled to assume that the Lenders will refuse to make advances in the absence of strict compliance with any or all of such conditions, and no other Person shall, under any circumstances, be deemed to be a beneficiary of such conditions, any and all of which may be freely waived in whole or in part by the Administrative Agent and the Lenders at any time in their sole discretion.

Section 12.7                            Lenders and Administrative Agent Not in Control; No Partnership.  None of the covenants or other provisions contained in this Agreement shall, or shall be deemed to, give the Administrative Agent or any Lender the right or power to exercise control over the affairs or management of Borrower, the power of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders being limited to the rights to exercise the remedies referred to in the Loan Documents.  The relationship between Borrower and the Lenders is, and at all times shall remain, solely that of debtor and creditor.  No covenant or provision of the Loan Documents is intended, nor shall it be deemed or construed, to create a partnership, joint venture, agency or common interest in profits or income between the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and Borrower or to create an equity in the Project in the Administrative Agent or any Lender.  The Administrative Agent and the Lenders neither undertake nor assume any responsibility or duty to Borrower or to any other person with respect to the Project or the Loans, except as expressly provided in the Loan Documents; and notwithstanding any other provision of the Loan Documents: (1) neither the Administrative Agent nor any Lender is, nor shall be construed as, a partner, joint venturer, alter

81




 

ego, manager, controlling person or other business associate or participant of any kind of Borrower or its stockholders, members, or partners and neither the Administrative Agent nor any Lender intends to ever assume such status; (2) no Lender or the Administrative Agent shall in any event be liable for any Debts, expenses or losses incurred or sustained by Borrower; and (3) no Lender or the Administrative Agent shall be deemed responsible for or a participant in any acts, omissions or decisions of Borrower or its stockholders, members, or partners.  The Administrative Agent, the Lenders and Borrower disclaim any intention to create any partnership, joint venture, agency or common interest in profits or income between the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and Borrower, or to create an equity in the Project in the Administrative Agent or any Lender, or any sharing of liabilities, losses, costs or expenses.

Section 12.8                            Time of the Essence.  Time is of the essence with respect to this Agreement.

Section 12.9                            Successors and Assigns.  Subject to the provisions of Section 12.24, this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and Borrower and the respective successors and permitted assigns.

Section 12.10                     Renewal, Extension or Rearrangement.  All provisions of the Loan Documents shall apply with equal effect to each and all promissory notes and amendments thereof hereinafter executed which in whole or in part represent a renewal, extension, increase or rearrangement of the Loans.  For portfolio management purposes, the Lenders may elect to divide the Loans into two or more separate loans evidenced by separate promissory notes with the same or different interest rates, so long as the aggregate payment and other obligations of Borrower are not effectively increased or otherwise modified.  Borrower agrees to cooperate with the Administrative Agent and the Lenders and to execute such documents as the Administrative Agent reasonably may request to effect such division of the Loans.

Section 12.11                     Waivers.  No course of dealing on the part of the Administrative Agent or any Lender, their respective officers, employees, consultants or agents, nor any failure or delay by the Administrative Agent or any Lender with respect to exercising any right, power or privilege of the Administrative Agent or any Lender under any of the Loan Documents, shall operate as a waiver thereof.

Section 12.12                     Cumulative Rights.  Rights and remedies of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders under the Loan Documents shall be cumulative, and the exercise or partial exercise of any such right or remedy shall not preclude the exercise of any other right or remedy.

Section 12.13                     Singular and Plural.  Words used in this Agreement and the other Loan Documents in the singular, where the context so permits, shall be deemed to include the plural and vice versa.  The definitions of words in the singular in this Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall apply to such words when used in the plural where the context so permits and vice versa.

Section 12.14                     Phrases.  When used in this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, the phrase “including” means “including, but not limited to,” the phrases “satisfactory to any Lender” or “satisfactory to the Administrative Agent” means in form and substance satisfactory

82




 

to such Lender or the Administrative Agent, as the case may be, in all respects, the phrases “with Lender’s consent”, “with Lender’s approval”, “with the Administrative Agent’s consent” or “with the Administrative Agent’s approval” means such consent or approval at Lender’s or the Administrative Agent’s, as the case may be, discretion, and the phrases “acceptable to Lender” or “acceptable to the Administrative Agent” means acceptable to Lender or the Administrative Agent, as the case may be, at such party’s reasonable discretion acting in good faith.

Section 12.17                     Promotional Material.  Borrower authorizes the Administrative Agent and each of the Lenders to issue press releases, advertisements and other promotional materials in connection with the Administrative Agent’s or such Lender’s own promotional and marketing activities, and describing the Loans and the Project in general terms and the Administrative Agent’s or such Lender’s participation in the Loans subject, in each case, to Borrower’s approval, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed.  All references to the Administrative Agent or any Lender contained in any press release, advertisement or promotional material issued by Borrower or Borrower shall be approved in writing by the Administrative Agent and such Lender in advance of issuance.

Section 12.18                     Survival.  In the event that any Lender that may assign any interest in its Commitment or Loans hereunder in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, all of the representations, warranties, covenants, and indemnities of Borrower hereunder and under the other Loan Documents shall survive for the benefit of such assigning Lender the making of such assignment, notwithstanding that such assigning Lender may cease to be a “Lender” hereunder.  Without limiting the foregoing, all indemnities of Borrower hereunder and under the other Loan Documents shall survive indefinitely, notwithstanding (a) the repayment in full of the Loans and the release of the Liens evidencing or securing the Loans or (b) the transfer (by sale, foreclosure, conveyance in lieu of foreclosure or otherwise) of any or all right, title and interest in and to the Project to any party.  The representations, warranties and covenants of Borrower, other than those imposing indemnification obligations on Borrower (which shall survive indefinitely), shall survive for a period of two (2) years following the repayment in full of the Loans and the release of the Liens evidencing or securing the Loans (notwithstanding that prior to the end of such two-year period, Borrower may have transferred (by sale, foreclosure, conveyance in lieu of foreclosure or otherwise) any or all its right, title and interest in and to the Project to any other party).

83




 

AGENT AND EACH LENDER HEREBY KNOWINGLY, VOLUNTARILY AND INTENTIONALLY WAIVE THE RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN RESPECT OF ANY LITIGATION BASED HEREON, ARISING OUT OF, UNDER OR IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT, OR ANY COURSE OF CONDUCT, COURSE OF DEALING, STATEMENT (WHETHER VERBAL OR WRITTEN) OR ACTION OF EITHER PARTY OR ANY EXERCISE BY ANY PARTY OF THEIR RESPECTIVE RIGHTS UNDER THE LOAN DOCUMENTS OR IN ANY WAY RELATING TO THE LOANS OR THE PROJECT (INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, ANY ACTION TO RESCIND OR CANCEL THIS AGREEMENT, AND ANY CLAIM OR DEFENSE ASSERTING THAT THIS AGREEMENT WAS FRAUDULENTLY INDUCED OR IS OTHERWISE VOID OR VOIDABLE).  THIS WAIVER IS A MATERIAL INDUCEMENT FOR THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT AND EACH LENDER TO ENTER THIS AGREEMENT.

Section 12.23                     Counterparts.  This Agreement may be executed in multiple counterparts, each of which shall constitute an original, but all of which shall constitute one document.

Section 12.24                     Assignments and Participations.

(1)                                  Assignments by Borrower.  Borrower may not assign any of its rights or obligations hereunder, or under the Notes or under the other Loan Documents without the prior consent of all of the Lenders and the Administrative Agent.

(2)                                  Assignments by the Lenders.  Each Lender may assign any of its Loans, its Note and its Commitment (but only with the consent of the Administrative Agent and, in the event of a proposed assignment to a Person which is not an Eligible Assignee, the consent of Borrower, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld and shall be deemed granted if not received within five (5) Business Days following written request therefore); provided that:

(a)                                  no such consent by the Administrative Agent or Borrower shall be required in the case of any assignment by any Lender to another Lender or an Affiliate of such Lender or such other Lender (provided that in the case of an assignment to any such Affiliate, the assigning Lender will not be released from its obligations under the Loan Documents and the Administrative Agent may continue to deal only with such assigning Lender, unless such Affiliate is also an Eligible Assignee);

(b)                                 except to the extent the Administrative Agent shall otherwise consent, any such partial assignment (other than to another Lender or an affiliate of a Lender) shall be in an amount at least equal to $10,000,000;

(c)                                  each such assignment (including an assignment to another Lender or an affiliate of a Lender) by a Lender of its Loans or Commitment shall be made in such manner so that the same portion of its Loans and Commitment is assigned to the respective assignee;

(d)                                 subject to the applicable Lender’s compliance with the provisions of clauses (b) and (c) above, the Administrative Agent’s consent to an assignment shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned if (i) such assignment is made to an Eligible Assignee, and (ii) the provisions of clause (e) have been satisfied; and

(e)                                  upon execution and delivery by the assignee (even if already a Lender) to Borrower and the Administrative Agent of an Assignment and Acceptance pursuant to which such assignee agrees to become a “Lender” hereunder (if not already a Lender) having the Commitment and Loans specified in such instrument, and upon consent thereto by the Administrative Agent to the extent required above, the assignee shall have, to the extent of such assignment (unless otherwise consented to by the Administrative Agent), the obligations, rights and benefits of a Lender hereunder holding the Commitment and Loans (or portions thereof) assigned to it (in addition to the Commitment and Loans, if any, theretofore held by such

86




 

assignee) and, except as provided in Section 12.24(2)(a), the assigning Lender shall, to the extent of such assignment, be released from the Commitment (or portion thereof) so assigned.  Upon each such assignment the assigning Lender shall pay the Administrative Agent a processing and recording fee of $3,500 and the reasonable fees and disbursements of the Administrative Agent’s counsel incurred in connection therewith.

(3)                                  Participations.

(a)                                  A Lender may sell or agree to sell to one or more other Persons (each a “Participant”) a participation in all or any part of any Loans held by it, or in its Commitment, provided (A) such Lender’s obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall remain unchanged, (B) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations and (C) Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the other Lenders shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.  In no event shall a Lender that sells a participation agree with the Participant to take or refrain from taking any action hereunder or under any other Loan Document except that such Lender may agree with the Participant that it will not, without the consent of the Participant, agree to (i) increase or extend the term of such Lender’s Commitment, (ii) extend the date fixed for the payment of principal of or interest on the related Loan or Loans or any portion of any fee hereunder payable to the Participant, (iii) reduce the amount of any such payment of principal, (iv) reduce the rate at which interest is payable thereon, or any fee hereunder payable to the Participant, to a level below the rate at which the Participant is entitled to receive such interest or fee or (v) consent to any modification, supplement or waiver hereof or of any of the other Loan Documents to the extent that the same, under Section 12.2, requires the consent of each Lender.  Subject to subsection (3)(b) of this Section 12.24, Borrower agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.8(1), 2.8(5), and 2.8(6) to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to subsection (2) of this Section 12.24.  To the extent permitted by law, each Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 12.24 as though it were a Lender; provided that such Participant agrees to be subject to Section 12.24 as though it were a Lender.

(b)                                 A Participant shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Section 2.8(1) or 2.8(6) than the applicable Lender would have been entitled to receive with respect to the participation sold to such Participant, unless the sale of the participation to such Participant is made with Borrower’s prior written consent.  A Participant that is a non-U.S. Person that would become a Lender shall not be entitled to the benefits of Section 2.8(6) unless Borrower is notified of the participation sold to such Participant and such Participant agrees, for the benefit of Borrower, to comply with Section 2.8(6) as though it were a Lender.

(4)                                  Certain Pledges.  In addition to the assignments and participations permitted under the foregoing provisions of this Section 12.24 (but without being subject thereto), any Lender may (without notice to Borrower, the Administrative Agent or any other Lender and without payment of any fee) assign and pledge all or any portion of its Loans and its Note to any Federal Reserve Bank as collateral security pursuant to Regulation A and any operating circular issued by such Federal Reserve Bank, and such Loans and Note shall be fully

87




 

transferable as provided therein.  No such assignment shall release the assigning Lender from its obligations hereunder.

(5)                                  Provision of Information to Assignees and Participants.  A Lender may furnish any information concerning Borrower, any Borrower Party or any of their respective Affiliates or the Project in the possession of such Lender from time to time to assignees and participants (including prospective assignees and participants).

(6)                                  No Assignments to Borrower or Affiliates.  Anything in this Section 12.24 to the contrary notwithstanding, no Lender may assign or participate any interest in any Loan held by it hereunder to Borrower or any of its Affiliates without the prior consent of each Lender.

Section 12.25                     Brokers.  Borrower hereby represents to the Administrative Agent and each Lender Borrower has not dealt with any broker, underwriters, placement agent, or finder in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, other than Ditmas Capital (the “Broker”).  Borrower hereby agrees to pay all fees and commissions due and payable to Broker and to indemnify and hold the Administrative Agent and each Lender harmless from and against any and all claims, liabilities, costs and expenses of any kind in any way relating to or arising from a claim by any Person (including Broker) that such Person acted on behalf of such Borrower in connection with the transactions contemplated herein.

Section 12.26                     Right of Setoff.

(1)                                  Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, each of the Lenders is, subject (as between the Lenders) to the provisions of subsection (3) of this Section 12.26, hereby authorized at any time and from time to time, without notice to Borrower (any such notice being expressly waived by Borrower) and to the fullest extent permitted by law, to setoff and apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final) at any time held, and other indebtedness at any time owing, by such Lender in any of its offices, in Dollars or in any other currency, to or for the credit or the account of Borrower against any and all of the respective obligations of Borrower now or hereafter existing under the Loan Documents, irrespective of whether or not such Lender or any other Lender shall have made any demand hereunder and although such obligations may be contingent or unmatured and such deposits or indebtedness may be unmatured.  Each Lender hereby acknowledges that the exercise by any Lender of offset, setoff, banker’s lien, or similar rights against any deposit or other indebtedness of Borrower whether or not located in California or any other state with certain laws restricting lenders from pursuing multiple collection methods, could result under such laws in significant impairment of the ability of all the Lenders to recover any further amounts in respect of the Loan.  Therefore, each Lender agrees that no Lender shall exercise any such right of setoff, banker’s lien, or otherwise, against any assets of Borrower (including all general or special, time or demand, provisional or other deposits and other indebtedness owing by such Lender to or for the credit or the account of Borrower) without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent and the Majority Lenders.

88




 

(2)                                  Each Lender shall promptly notify Borrower and the Administrative Agent after any such setoff and application, provided that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such setoff and application.  The rights of the Lenders under this Section 12.26 are in addition to other rights and remedies (including other rights of setoff) which the Lenders may have.

(3)                                  If an Event of Default has resulted in the Loans becoming due and payable prior to the stated maturity thereof, each Lender agrees that it shall turn over to the Administrative Agent any payment (whether voluntary or involuntary, through the exercise of any right of setoff or otherwise) on account of the Loans held by it in excess of its ratable portion of payments on account of the Loans obtained by all the Lenders.

Section 12.27                     Cooperation with Syndication; Componentization.

(1)                                  Without limiting the provisions of Section 12.24, Borrower acknowledges that Arranger intends to syndicate a portion of the Commitments to one or more Lenders (the “Syndication”) and in connection therewith, Borrower will take all actions as Arranger may reasonably request to assist Arranger in its Syndication effort.  Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Borrower shall, at the request of Arranger (i) facilitate the review of the Loan and the Project by any prospective Lender; (ii) assist Arranger and otherwise cooperate with Arranger in the preparation of information offering materials (which assistance may include reviewing and commenting on drafts of such information materials and drafting portions thereof); (iii) deliver updated information on Borrower and the Project; (iv) make representatives of Borrower available to meet with prospective Lenders at tours of the Project and bank meetings; (v) facilitate direct contact between the senior management and advisors of Borrower and any prospective Lender; and (vi) provide Arranger with all information reasonably deemed necessary by it to complete the Syndication successfully.  Borrower agrees to take such further action, in connection with documents and amendments to the Loan Documents, as may reasonably be required to effect such Syndication.  Borrower shall not be responsible for any costs or expenses incurred by the Administrative Agent, the Arranger, any Lender or any other Person in connection with such Syndication, other than to the extent provided in Section 12.5(3).

(2)                                  Without limiting the provisions of Sections 12.24 or 12.27(a), Arranger shall have the right, at any time, to direct the Administrative Agent, with respect to all or any portion of the Loan, to (i) cause the Notes, the Mortgage and the other Security Documents to be severed and/or split into two or more separate notes, mortgages and other security agreements, so as to evidence and secure one or more senior and subordinate mortgage loans; (ii) create one more senior and subordinate notes (i.e., an A/B or A/B/C structure) secured by the Mortgage and the other Security Documents; (iii) create multiple components of the Notes (and allocate or reallocate the outstanding principal amount of the Loan among such components); or (iv) otherwise sever the Loan into two or more loans secured by the Mortgage and the other Security Documents; in each such case, in such proportions and priorities as Arranger may so direct to the Administrative Agent; provided, however, that in each such instance the outstanding principal amount of all the Notes evidencing the Loan (or components of such Notes) immediately after the effective date of such splitting, modification, componentization or other severance, equals the outstanding principal amount of the Loans immediately prior to such splitting, modification, componentization or other severance and the weighted average of the interest rates for all such

89




 

Notes (or components of such Notes) immediately after the effective date of such splitting, modification, componentization or other severance equals the interest rate of the original Note immediately prior to such splitting, modification, componentization or other severance.  If requested by the Administrative Agent, in connection with documents and amendments to the Loan Documents, as may reasonably be required to effect such splitting, modification, componentization or other severance, including entering into a severance agreement.  Borrower shall not be responsible for any costs or expenses incurred by the Administrative Agent, the Arranger, any Lender or any other Person in connection with such splitting, modification, componentization or other severance, other than to the extent provided in Section 12.5(3).

(1)                                  Borrower shall deposit the first $6,911,000 of Net Sales Cash Flow (the “Project Escrow Fund”) with the Administrative Agent, which amount shall be deposited by the Administrative Agent in the Project Escrow Account.  So long as no Event of Default exists, the Administrative Agent shall direct the Depository Bank to disburse the Project Escrow Fund to Borrower upon the satisfaction of the applicable Advance Conditions set forth in Schedule 2.1 for exterior and common area improvements, marketing, administrative and other Project costs (other than corporate overhead costs) pursuant to the Construction Budget.  The proceeds of the Project Escrow Fund shall not be disbursed to pay any Franchise Fee.

(1)                                  shall have no duties or responsibilities except those expressly set forth in this Agreement and in the other Loan Documents, and shall not by reason of this Agreement or any other Loan Document be a trustee for any Lender except to the extent that the Administrative Agent acts as an agent with respect to the receipt or payment of funds, nor shall the Administrative Agent have any fiduciary duty to Borrower nor shall any Lender have any fiduciary duty to Borrower or any other Lender;

(2)                                  shall not be responsible to the Lenders for any recitals, statements, representations or warranties contained in this Agreement or in any other Loan Document, or in any certificate or other document referred to or provided for in, or received by any of them under, this Agreement or any other Loan Document, or for the value, validity, effectiveness, genuineness, enforceability or sufficiency of this Agreement, any Note or any other Loan

96




 

Document or any other document referred to or provided for herein or therein or for any failure by Borrower or any other Person to perform any of its obligations hereunder or thereunder; and

(3)                                  as among Lenders (and not as it relates to Borrower) shall not be responsible for any action taken or omitted to be taken by it hereunder or under any other Loan Document or under any other document or instrument referred to or provided for herein or therein or in connection herewith or therewith, except to the extent any such action taken or omitted violates the Administrative Agent’s standard of care set forth in the first sentence of Section 16.5.

(5)                                  shall not be required to take any action which is contrary to this Agreement or any other Loan Document or Applicable Law.

The relationship between the Administrative Agent and each Lender is a contractual relationship only, and nothing herein shall be deemed to impose on the Administrative Agent any obligations other than those for which express provision is made herein or in the other Loan Documents.  The Administrative Agent may employ agents and attorneys in fact, and may delegate all or any part of its obligations hereunder, to third parties and shall not be responsible for the negligence or misconduct of any such agents, attorneys in fact or third parties selected by it in good faith.  The Administrative Agent may deem and treat the payee of a Note as the holder thereof for all purposes hereof unless and until a notice of the assignment or transfer thereof shall have been filed with the Administrative Agent, any such assignment or transfer to be subject to the provisions of Section 12.24.  Except to the extent expressly provided in Sections 16.8, the provisions of this Article 16 are solely for the benefit of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders, and Borrower shall not have any rights as a third-party beneficiary of any of the provisions hereof and the Lenders may Modify or waive such provisions of this Article 16 in their sole and absolute discretion..

Section 16.2                            Reliance by Administrative Agent.  The Administrative Agent shall be entitled to rely upon any certification, notice or other communication (including, without limitation, any thereof by telephone, telecopy, telegram or cable) reasonably believed by it to be genuine and correct and to have been signed or sent by or on behalf of the proper Person or Persons, and upon advice and statements of legal counsel, independent accountants and other experts selected by the Administrative Agent.  As to any matters not expressly provided for by this Agreement or any other Loan Document, the Administrative Agent shall in all cases be fully protected in acting, or in refraining from acting, hereunder or thereunder in accordance with instructions given by the Majority Lenders, and such instructions of the Majority Lenders and any action taken or failure to act pursuant thereto shall be binding on all of the Lenders.

97




 

Section 16.3                            Defaults.

(1)                                  The Administrative Agent shall not be deemed to have knowledge or notice of the occurrence of a Potential Default or Event of Default unless the Administrative Agent has received notice from a Lender or Borrower specifying such Potential Default or Event of Default and stating that such notice is a “Notice of Default”.  In the event that the Administrative Agent receives such a notice of the occurrence of a Potential Default or Event of Default, the Administrative Agent shall give prompt notice thereof to the Lenders.  Within ten (10) days of delivery of such notice of Potential Default or Event of Default from the Administrative Agent to the Lenders (or such shorter period of time as the Administrative Agent determines is necessary), the Administrative Agent and the Lenders shall consult with each other to determine a proposed course of action.  The Administrative Agent shall (subject to Section 16.7) take such action with respect to such Potential Default or Event of Default as shall be directed by the Majority Lenders, provided that, (A) unless and until the Administrative Agent shall have received such directions, the Administrative Agent may (but shall not be obligated to) take such action, or refrain from taking such action, including decisions (1) to make protective advances that the Administrative Agent determines are necessary to protect or maintain the Project and (2) to foreclose on any of the Project or exercise any other remedy, with respect to such Potential Default or Event of Default as it shall deem advisable in the interest of the Lenders except to the extent that this Agreement expressly requires that such action be taken, or not be taken, only with the consent or upon the authorization of all of the Lenders and (B) no actions approved by the Majority Lenders shall violate the Loan Documents or Applicable Law.  Each of the Lenders acknowledges and agrees that no individual Lender may separately enforce or exercise any of the provisions of any of the Loan Documents (including the Notes) other than through the Administrative Agent.  The Administrative Agent shall advise the Lenders of all material actions which the Administrative Agent takes in accordance with the provisions of this Section 16.3(1) and shall continue to consult with the Lenders with respect to all of such actions.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Majority Lenders shall at any time direct that a different or additional remedial action be taken from that already undertaken by the Administrative Agent, including the commencement of foreclosure proceedings, such different or additional remedial action shall be taken in lieu of or in addition to, the prosecution of such action taken by the Administrative Agent; provided that all actions already taken by the Administrative Agent pursuant to this Section 16.3(1) shall be valid and binding on each Lender.  All money (other than money subject to the provisions of Section 16.7) received from any enforcement actions, including the proceeds of a foreclosure sale of the Project, shall be applied, first, to the payment or reimbursement of the Administrative Agent for expenses incurred in accordance with the provisions of Sections 16.3(2), (3) and (4) and 16.5, second, to the payment or reimbursement of the Lenders for expenses incurred in accordance with the provisions of Sections 16.3(2), (3) and (4) and 16.5; third, to the payment or reimbursement of the Lenders for any advances made pursuant to Section 16.3(2); and fourth, pari passu to the Lenders in accordance with their respective Proportionate Shares, unless an Unpaid Amount is owed pursuant to Section 16.12, in which event such Unpaid Amount shall be deducted from the portion of such proceeds of the Defaulting Lender and be applied to payment of such Unpaid Amount to the Special Advance Lender.

(2)                                  All losses with respect to interest (including interest at the Default Rate) and other sums payable pursuant to the Notes or incurred in connection with the Loans shall be

98




 

borne by the Lenders in accordance with their respective proportionate shares of the Loans.  All losses incurred in connection with the Loans, the enforcement thereof or the realization of the security therefor, shall be borne by the Lenders in accordance with their respective proportionate shares of the Loan, and the Lenders shall promptly, upon request, remit to the Administrative Agent their respective proportionate shares of (i) any expenses incurred by the Administrative Agent in connection with any Default to the extent any expenses have not been paid by Borrower, (ii) any advances made to pay taxes or insurance or otherwise to preserve the Lien of the Security Documents or to preserve and protect the Project, whether or not the amount necessary to be advanced for such purposes exceeds the amount of the Mortgage, (iii) any other expenses incurred in connection with the enforcement of the Mortgage or other Loan Documents, and (iv) any expenses incurred in connection with the consummation of the Loans not paid or provided for by Borrower.  To the extent any such advances are recovered in connection with the enforcement of the Mortgage or the other Loan Documents, each Lender shall be paid its proportionate share of such recovery after deduction of the expenses of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders.

(3)                                  If, at the direction of the Majority Lenders or otherwise as provided in Section 16.3(1), any action(s) is brought to collect on the Notes or enforce the Security Documents or any other Loan Document, such action shall (to the extent permitted under Applicable Law and the decisions of the court in which such action is brought) be an action brought by the Administrative Agent and the Lenders, collectively, to collect on all or a portion of the Notes or enforce the Security Documents or any other Loan Document and counsel selected by the Administrative Agent shall prosecute any such action on behalf of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders, and the Administrative Agent and the Lenders shall consult and cooperate with each other in the prosecution thereof.  All decisions concerning the appointment of a receiver while such action is pending, the conduct of such receivership, the conduct of such action, the collection of any judgment entered in such action and the settlement of such action shall be made by the Administrative Agent.  The costs and expenses of any such action shall be borne by the Lenders in accordance with each of their respective proportionate shares.

(4)                                  If, at the direction of the Majority Lenders or otherwise as provided in Section 16.3(1), any action(s) is brought to foreclose the Mortgage, such action shall (to the extent permitted under Applicable Law and the decisions of the court in which such action is brought) be an action brought by the Administrative Agent and the Lenders, collectively, to foreclose all or a portion of the Mortgage and collect on the Notes.  Counsel selected by the Administrative Agent shall prosecute any such foreclosure on behalf of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders and the Administrative Agent and the Lenders shall consult and cooperate with each other in the prosecution thereof.  All decisions concerning the appointment of a receiver, the conduct of such foreclosure, the acceptance of a deed in lieu of foreclosure, the bid on behalf of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders at the foreclosure sale of the Project, the manner of taking and holding title to the Project (other than as set forth in subsection (5) below), the sale of the Project after foreclosure, and the commencement and conduct of any deficiency judgment proceeding shall be made by the Administrative Agent.  The costs and expenses of foreclosure will be borne by the Lenders in accordance with their respective proportionate shares.

99




 

(5)                                  If title is acquired to the Project after a foreclosure sale or by a deed in lieu of foreclosure, title shall be held by the Administrative Agent in its own name in trust for the Lenders or, at the Administrative Agent’s election, in the name of a wholly owned subsidiary of the Administrative Agent on behalf of the Lenders.

(6)                                  If the Administrative Agent (or its subsidiary) acquires title to the Project or is entitled to possession of the Project during or after the foreclosure, all material decisions with respect to the possession, ownership, development, construction, control, operation, leasing, management and sale of the Project shall be made by the Administrative Agent.  All income or other money received after so acquiring title to or taking possession of the Project with respect to the Project, including income from the operation and management of the Project and the proceeds of a sale of the Project, shall be applied, first, to the payment or reimbursement of the Administrative Agent and the expenses incurred in accordance with the provisions of this Article 16, second, to the payment of operating expenses with respect to the Project; third, to the establishment of reasonable reserves for the operation of the Project; fourth, to the payment or reimbursement of the Lenders for any advances made pursuant to Section 16.3(2); fifth to fund any capital improvement, leasing and other reserves; and sixth, to the Lenders in accordance with their respective Proportionate Shares, unless an Unpaid Amount is owed pursuant to Section 16.12, in which event such Unpaid Amount shall be deducted from the portion of such proceeds of the Defaulting Lender and be applied to payment of such Unpaid Amount to the Special Advance Lender.

Section 16.4                            Rights as a Lender.  With respect to its Commitment and the Loans made by it Eurohypo (and any successor acting as Administrative Agent) in its capacity as a Lender hereunder shall have the same rights and powers hereunder as any other Lender and may exercise the same as though it were not acting as the Administrative Agent, and the term “Lender” or “Lenders” shall, unless the context otherwise indicates, include the Administrative Agent in its individual capacity.  Eurohypo (and any successor acting as Administrative Agent) and its affiliates may (without having to account therefor to any Lender) lend money to, make investments in and generally engage in any kind of lending, trust or other business with Borrower (and any of its Affiliates) as if it were not acting as the Administrative Agent, and Eurohypo and its affiliates may accept fees and other consideration from Borrower for services in connection with this Agreement or otherwise without having to account for the same to the Lenders.

Section 16.5                            Standard of Care; Indemnification.  In performing its duties under the Loan Documents, the Administrative Agent will exercise the same degree of care as it normally exercises in connection with real estate loans in which no syndication or participations are involved, but the Administrative Agent shall have no further responsibility to any Lender except as expressly provided herein and except for its own gross negligence or willful misconduct which resulted in actual loss to such Lender, and, except to such extent, the Administrative Agent shall have no responsibility to any Lender for the failure by the Administrative Agent to comply with any of the Administrative Agent’s obligations to Borrower under the Loan Documents or otherwise.  The Lenders agree to indemnify the Administrative Agent (to the extent not reimbursed under Section 12.5, but without limiting the obligations of Borrower under Section 12.5) ratably in accordance with the aggregate principal amount of the Loans held by the Lenders (or, if no Loans are at the time outstanding, ratably in accordance with their respective

Commitments), for any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind and nature whatsoever that may be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against the Administrative Agent (including by any Lender) arising out of or by reason of any investigation in or in any way relating to or arising out of this Agreement or any other Loan Document or any other documents contemplated by or referred to herein or therein or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby (including, without limitation, the costs and expenses that Borrower is obligated to pay under Section 12.5, but excluding, unless a Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, normal administrative costs and expenses incident to the performance of its agency duties hereunder) or the enforcement of any of the terms hereof or thereof or of any such other documents, provided that no Lender shall be liable for any of the foregoing to the extent they arise from the Administrative Agent’s breach of its standard of care set forth in the first sentence of this Section.

Section 16.6                            Non Reliance on Administrative Agent and Other Lenders.  Each Lender agrees that it has, independently and without reliance on the Administrative Agent or any other Lender, and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own credit analysis of Borrower and its Affiliates and decision to enter into this Agreement and that it will, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent or any other Lender, and based on such documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own analysis and decisions in taking or not taking action under this Agreement or under any other Loan Document.  Subject to the provisions of the first sentence of Section 16.5, the Administrative Agent shall not be required to keep itself informed as to the performance or observance by Borrower of this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents or any other document referred to or provided for herein or therein or to inspect the Project or the books of Borrower or any of its Affiliates.  Except for notices, reports and other documents and information expressly required to be furnished to the Lenders by the Administrative Agent hereunder or as otherwise agreed by the Administrative Agent and the Lenders, the Administrative Agent shall not have any duty or responsibility to provide any Lender with any credit or other information concerning the affairs, financial condition or business of Borrower or any of its Affiliates that may come into the possession of the Administrative Agent or any of its affiliates.

Section 16.7                            Failure to Act.  Except for action expressly required of the Administrative Agent hereunder, and under the other Loan Documents, the Administrative Agent shall in all cases be fully justified in failing or refusing to act hereunder and thereunder unless it shall receive further assurances to its satisfaction from the Lenders of their indemnification obligations under Section 16.5 against any and all liability and expense that may be incurred by it by reason of taking or continuing to take any such action.

Section 16.8                            Resignation of Administrative Agent.  The Administrative Agent may resign at any time by giving notice thereof to the Lenders and Borrower.  Upon any such resignation, the Majority Lenders shall have the right to appoint a successor Administrative Agent that shall be a Person that meets the qualifications of an Eligible Assignee.  Such successor Administrative Agent shall be approved by Borrower, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned.  If no successor Administrative Agent shall have been so appointed by the Majority Lenders and shall have accepted such appointment within thirty (30) days after the retiring Administrative Agent’s giving of notice of resignation, then the

101




 

retiring Administrative Agent may, on behalf of the Lenders, appoint a successor Administrative Agent, that shall be an institutional lender that meets the requirements of the immediately preceding sentence.  Upon the acceptance of any appointment as Administrative Agent hereunder by a successor Administrative Agent, such successor Administrative Agent shall thereupon succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring (or retired) Administrative Agent, and the retiring Administrative Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder (if not already discharged therefrom as provided above in this Section 16.8).  The fees payable by Borrower to a successor Administrative Agent shall be the same as those payable to its predecessor unless otherwise agreed between Borrower and such successor.  After any retiring Administrative Agent’s resignation hereunder as Administrative Agent, the provision of this Article 16 and Section 12.5 shall continue in effect for its benefit in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was acting as the Administrative Agent.

Section 16.9                            Consents under Loan Documents.  The Administrative Agent may as expressly provided in the Loan Documents and, if not expressly provided, with the consent of the Majority Lenders (a) grant any consent or approval required of it or (b) consent to any modification, supplement or waiver under any of the Loan Documents.  If the Administrative Agent solicits any consents or approvals from the Lenders under any of the Loan Documents, each Lender shall within ten (10) Business Days of receiving such request, give the Administrative Agent written notice of its consent or approval or denial thereof; provided that, if any Lender does not respond within such ten (10) Business Days, such Lender shall be deemed to have authorized the Administrative Agent to vote such Lender’s interest with respect to the matter which was the subject of the Administrative Agent’s solicitation as the Administrative Agent elects.  Any such solicitation by the Administrative Agent for a consent or approval shall be in writing and shall include a description of the matter or thing as to which such consent or approval is requested and shall include the Administrative Agent’s recommended course of action or determination in respect thereof.  After Administrative Agent’s resignation hereunder as Administrative Agent, the provisions of this Article 16 and Section 12.5 shall continue in effect for its benefit in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was acting as the Administrative Agent.

Section 16.10                     Authorization.  The Administrative Agent is hereby authorized by the Lenders to execute, deliver and perform in accordance with the terms of each of the Loan Documents to which the Administrative Agent is or is intended to be a party and each Lender agrees to be bound by all of the agreements of the Administrative Agent contained in such Loan Documents.  Borrower shall be entitled to rely on all written agreements, approvals and consents received from the Administrative Agent as being that also of the Lenders, without obtaining separate acknowledgment or proof of authorization of same.

Section 16.11                     Reserved.

Section 16.12                     Defaulting Lenders.

(1)                                  If any Lender (a “Defaulting Lender”) shall for any reason fail to (i) make any respective Loan required pursuant to the terms of this Agreement or (ii) pay its proportionate share of an advance or disbursement to protect the Project or the Lien of the

102




 

Security Documents, any of the other Lenders may, but shall not be obligated to, make all or a portion of the Defaulting Lender’s Loan or proportionate share of such advance, provided that such Lender gives the Defaulting Lender and the Administrative Agent prior notice of its intention to do so.  The right to make such advances in respect of the Defaulting Lender shall be exercisable first by the Lender holding the greatest proportionate share and thereafter to each of the Lenders in descending order of their respective proportionate shares of the Loans or in such other manner as the Majority Lenders (excluding the Defaulting Lender) may agree on.  Any Lender making all or any portion of the Defaulting Lender’s proportionate share of the applicable Loan or advance in accordance with the foregoing terms and conditions shall be referred to as a “Special Advance Lender”.

(2)                                  In any case where a Lender becomes a Special Advance Lender (i) the Special Advance Lender shall be deemed to have purchased, and the Defaulting Lender shall be deemed to have sold, a senior participation in the Defaulting Lender’s respective Loan to the extent of the amount so advanced or disbursed (the “Advanced Amount”) bearing interest (including interest at the Default Rate, if applicable) and (ii) the Defaulting Lender shall have no voting rights under this Agreement or any other Loan Documents so long as it is a Defaulting Lender.  It is expressly understood and agreed that each of the respective obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, including advancing Loans, losses incurred in connection with the Loan, including costs and expenses of enforcement, advancing to preserve the Lien of the Mortgage or to preserve and protect the Project, shall be without regard to any adjustment in the proportionate shares occasioned by the acts of a Defaulting Lender.  The Special Advance Lender shall be entitled to recover from the Defaulting Lender an amount (the “Unpaid Amount”) equal to the applicable Advanced Amount, plus any unpaid interest due and owing with respect thereto, less any repayments thereof made by the Defaulting Lender immediately upon demand.  The Defaulting Lender shall have the right to repurchase the senior participation in its Loan from the Special Advance Lender at any time by the payment of the Unpaid Amount.

(3)                                  A Special Advance Lender shall (i) give notice to the Defaulting Lender, the Administrative Agent and each of the other Lenders (provided that failure to deliver said notice to any party other than the Defaulting Lender shall not constitute a default under this Agreement) of the Advance Amount and the percentage of the Special Advance Lender’s senior participation in the Defaulting Lender’s Loan and (ii) in the event of the repayment of any of the Unpaid Amount by the Defaulting Lender, give notice to the Defaulting Lender and the Administrative Agent of the fact that the Unpaid Amount has been repaid (in whole or in part), the amount of such repayment and, if applicable, the revised percentage of the Special Advance Lender’s senior participation.  Provided that the Administrative Agent has received notice of such participation, the Administrative Agent shall have the same obligations to distribute interest, principal and other sums received by the Administrative Agent with respect to a Special Advance Lender’s senior participation as the Administrative Agent has with respect to the distribution of interest, principal and other sums under this Agreement; and at the time of making any distributions to the Lenders, shall make payments to the Special Advance Lender with respect to a Special Advance Lender’s senior participation in the Defaulting Lender’s Loan out of the Defaulting Lender’s share of any such distributions.

103




 

(4)                                  A Defaulting Lender shall immediately pay to a Special Advance Lender all sums of any kind paid to or received by the Defaulting Lender from Borrower, whether pursuant to the terms of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents or in connection with the realization of the security herefore until the Unpaid Amount is fully repaid.  Notwithstanding the fact that the Defaulting Lender may temporarily hold such sums, the Defaulting Lender shall be deemed to hold same as a trustee for the benefit of the Special Advance Lender, it being the express intention of the Lenders that the Special Advance Lender shall have an ownership interest in such sums to the extent of the Unpaid Amount.

(5)                                  Each Defaulting Lender shall indemnify, defend and hold the Administrative Agent and each of the other Lenders harmless from and against any and all losses, damages, liabilities or expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses and interest at the Default Rate) which they may sustain or incur by reason of the Defaulting Lender’s failure or refusal to abide by its obligations under this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, except to the extent a Defaulting Lender became a Defaulting Lender due to the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Administrative Agent and/or any Lender.  The Administrative Agent shall, after payment of any amounts due to any Special Advance Lender pursuant to the terms of subsection (3) above, setoff against any payments due to such Defaulting Lender for the claims of the Administrative Agent and the other Lenders pursuant to this indemnity.

Section 16.13                     Liability of the Administrative Agent.  The Administrative Agent shall not have any liabilities or responsibilities to Borrower on account of the failure of any Lender (other than the Administrative Agent in its capacity as a Lender) to perform its obligations hereunder or to any Lender on account of the failure of Borrower to perform its obligations hereunder or under any other Loan Document.

Section 16.14                     Transfer of Agency Function.  Without the consent of Borrower or any Lender, the Administrative Agent may at any time or from time to time transfer its functions as the Administrative Agent hereunder to any of its offices wherever located in the United States; provided that the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify Borrower and the Lenders thereof.

JOINDER

By executing this Joinder (the “Joinder”), each of the undersigned (collectively referred to herein as the “Joinder Parties”; individually referred to herein as “Joinder Party”) hereby (i) unconditionally, irrevocably and jointly and severally guaranty the performance by Borrower of Borrower’s obligations with respect to Borrower’s indemnification obligations under Sections 9.12(2)(a) through and including 9.12(2)(e) and Section 12.5 of this Agreement and all obligations and liabilities for which Borrower is personally liable under Section 13.1 of this Agreement and (ii) agrees to cause Borrower and Sole Member to at all times be Single Purpose Entities and to otherwise comply with each of the covenants contained in Section 9.6 of this Agreement.  This Joinder is a guaranty of full and complete payment and performance and not of collectability.  The Joinder Parties are (a) Abraham Galbut, an individual and (b) Morgans Group LLC, a Delaware limited liability company.

(2)                                  Waivers.  To the fullest extent permitted by Applicable Law, Joinder Parties waive all rights and defenses of sureties, guarantors, accommodation parties and/or co-makers and agree that their obligations under this Joinder shall be primary, absolute and unconditional, and that their obligations under this Joinder shall be unaffected by any of such rights or defenses, including:

(a)                                  the unenforceability of any Loan Document against Borrower and/or any guarantor or other Joinder Party;

(b)                                 any release or other action or inaction taken by the Administrative Agent or any Lender with respect to the collateral under any Loan Document, the Loan, Borrower, any guarantor and/or other Joinder Party, whether or not the same may impair or destroy any subrogation rights of any Joinder Party, or constitute a legal or equitable discharge of any surety or indemnitor;

(c)                                  the existence of any collateral or other security for the Loan, and any requirement that the Administrative Agent or any Lender pursue any of such collateral or other security, or pursue any remedies it may have against Borrower, any guarantor and/or any other Joinder Party;

(d)                                 any requirement that the Administrative Agent or any Lender provide notice to or obtain a Joinder Party’s consent to any modification, increase, extension or other amendment of the Loan, including the guaranteed obligations;

(e)                                  any right of subrogation (until payment in full of the Loan, including the guaranteed obligations, and the expiration of any applicable preference period and statute of limitations for fraudulent conveyance claims);

(f)                                    any defense based on any statute of limitations;

(g)                                 any payment by Borrower to the Administrative Agent or any Lender if such payment is held to be a preference or fraudulent conveyance under bankruptcy laws or the Administrative Agent or such Lender is otherwise required to refund such payment to Borrower or any other party; and

1




 

(h)                                 any voluntary or involuntary bankruptcy, receivership, insolvency, reorganization or similar proceeding affecting Borrower or any of its assets.

(3)                                  Agreements.  Joinder Parties further represent, warrant and agree that:

(a)                                  Neither the exercise of any remedies by the Administrative Agent or any Lender nor any other action taken by the Administrative Agent or any Lender shall affect or in any manner alleviate the obligations of the Joinder Parties hereunder.

(b)                                 The obligations under this Joinder are enforceable against each such party and are not subject to any defenses, offsets or counterclaims.

(c)                                  The provisions of this Joinder are for the benefit of the Administrative Agent, Lenders and their respective successors and assigns.

(d)                                 The Administrative Agent and Lenders shall have the right to (i) renew, modify, extend or accelerate the Loan, (ii) pursue some or all of its remedies against Borrower, any guarantor or any Joinder Party, (iii) add, release or substitute any collateral for the Loan or party obligated thereunder, and (iv) release Borrower, any guarantor or any Joinder Party from liability, all without notice to or consent of any Joinder Party (or other Joinder Party) and without affecting the obligations of any Joinder Party (or other Joinder Party) hereunder.

(e)                                  Each Joinder Party shall deliver to the Administrative Agent (for delivery to the Lenders) not later than one hundred and twenty (120) days after the close of each fiscal year of such Joinder Party, annual financial statements of such Joinder Party for each such fiscal year, such financial statements to be substantially in the form of the financial statements delivered by such Joinder Party to the Administrative Agent in connection with the closing of the Loans or such other form reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent, including (other than with respect to an individual) a balance sheet and statement of profit and loss certified by such Joinder Party in accordance with Section 8.1 of this Agreement.

(f)                                    To the maximum extent permitted by law, each Joinder Party hereby knowingly, voluntarily and intentionally waives the right to a trial by jury in respect of any litigation based hereon.  This waiver is a material inducement to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders to enter into this Agreement.

(g)                                 The obligations of the Joinder Parties are joint and several, and the Administrative Agent and the Lenders shall not be required to pursue or exhaust any remedies against any Joinder Party or Borrower as a condition to the pursuit and realization of remedies against either Joinder Party.

(h)                                 In the event Borrower files or has filed against it any case in bankruptcy or similar proceedings, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders shall not be required to enforce this Joinder in connection with such proceedings and shall not be required to appear in such proceedings prior to enforcing the provisions of this Joinder.

(4)                                  Counterparts.  This Joinder may be executed in multiple counterparts, each of which shall constitute an original, but all of which shall constitute one document.

This Joinder shall be governed by the laws of the State of New York.

4.                                       All improvements constructed by Borrower prior to the date an improvements advance is requested shall be completed to the satisfaction of the Administrative Agent and the Administrative Agent’s engineer and in accordance with the plans and budget for such improvements, as approved by the Administrative Agent, and all legal requirements.

(a)                                  The proposed Declaration of the Condominium (the “Condominium Declaration”), as filed with the Division of Florida Land Sales, Condominiums and Mobile Homes (the “Division”), together with all exhibits thereto, including, without limitation, the survey/plot plan required by the Florida Condominium Act (Chapter 718, Florida Statutes), all to be recorded in the Public Records of Broward County, Florida;

(b)                                 The proposed Articles of Incorporation for                                       , Inc., a Florida corporation not for profit (the “Association”), to be filed with the Florida Secretary of State and to be recorded in the Public Records of Broward County, Florida as an exhibit to the Condominium Declaration;

(c)                                  The proposed Bylaws of the Association that will ultimately be adopted by the Board of Directors of the Association and be recorded in the Public Records of Broward County, Florida;

(d)                                 The Prospectus (Public Offering Statement) for the Condominium;

(e)                                  The proposed form of Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) for the sale of units in the Condominium, as filed with the Division;

(f)                                    The proposed Articles of Incorporation for                                         , Inc. to be filed with the Florida Secretary of State and to be recorded in the Public Records of Broward County, Florida as an exhibit to the Master Covenants; and

of Broward County, Florida as an exhibit to the Master Covenants.

Unless otherwise provided, all of the initial capitalized terms used in this letter shall have the respective meanings given to them in the Master Covenants.

Based upon our examination of the Project Documents and such statutes and case law as we have deemed pertinent, but subject to the qualifications hereinafter set forth, it is our opinion that:

1.                                       As evidenced by that certain letter dated September 28, 2004 and that letter dated December 8, 2004 (referring to Amendment 00001, as filed with the Division October 4, 2004), copies of which are attached hereto as Exhibit “A”, the Condominium’s Florida Prospectus has been properly filed with, and was accepted by, the Division.

2.                                       Upon the due execution and proper recordation of the Condominium Declaration in the Public Records of Broward County, Florida in accordance with Section 718.104, Florida Statutes (including, without limitation, the requirement of the consent of any mortgagee(s) of the subject land and the certification of substantial completion required by Section 718.104(4)(e), F.S.), the Project Documents will be in compliance with all requirements of the Florida Condominium Act (Chapter 718, Florida Statutes) regarding the establishment of a condominium and the condominium to be created pursuant to the Project Documents will be legally established and a valid condominium pursuant to Chapter 718, Florida Statutes.

3.                                       When fully and properly completed, executed by all parties and supported by adequate consideration, the un-modified form Purchase Agreement included with the Florida Prospectus for the Condominium, as filed with the Division, will be enforceable in accordance with its terms, subject only to (a) the effect of any applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, fraudulent transfer, reorganization, moratorium or other laws affecting creditors’ rights generally; (b) general principles of equity, whether applied by a court of law or equity, including the exercise of discretionary powers by any court before which specific performance, injunctive relief, the appointment of a receiver or other equitable remedies may be sought; and (c) other applicable laws and judicial decisions limiting such enforceability.

4.                                       The foregoing opinions are subject to the following additional qualifications:
