New Revolving Credit Agreement

On October 6, 2006, Morgans Hotel Group Co. (the “Company”) and certain of its subsidiaries, including Morgans Group LLC (the “Borrower”) and Beach Hotel Associates LLC (the “Florida Borrower”), as borrowers, entered into a revolving credit facility in the initial amount of $225 million, which includes a $50 million letter of credit sub-facility and a $25 million swingline subfacility (the “New Revolving Credit Agreement”), with Wachovia Capital Markets, LLC and Citigroup Global Markets Inc. as joint lead arrangers and joint bookrunners, Wachovia Bank, National Association, as agent (the “Agent”), Citigroup Global Markets, Inc., as syndication agent, and the financial institutions party to the New Revolving Credit Agreement.  The amount available from time to time under the New Revolving Credit Agreement is also conditioned upon the amount of an available borrowing base calculated by reference to collateral described below.  Initially, the available borrowing base is capped at approximately $64 million, but that amount may be increased up to $225 million at the Borrower’s option by increasing the amount of the mortgage on Delano granted by the Florida Borrower and upon payment of the related additional recording tax.  The available borrowing base as of the closing date (assuming an increase in the Delano mortgage and payment of the related additional recording tax) would be approximately $190 million.  That availability may also be increased through procedures specified in the New Revolving Credit Agreement for adding property to the borrowing base and for revaluation of the property that constitutes the borrowing base.

The commitments under the New Revolving Credit Agreement terminate on October 5, 2011, at which time all outstanding amounts under the New Revolving Credit Agreement will be due and payable. There are no loans currently outstanding under the New Revolving Credit Agreement. Morgans Group LLC, as borrower, may, at its option, with the prior consent of the Agent and subject to customary conditions, request an increase in the aggregate commitment under the New Revolving Credit Agreement to up to $350 million.

The interest rate per annum applicable to loans under the New Revolving Credit Agreement is a fluctuating rate of interest measured by reference to, at the Company’s election, either LIBOR or a base rate, plus a borrowing margin. LIBOR loans have a borrowing margin of 1.35% to 1.90% determined based on the Borrower’s total leverage ratio (with an initial borrowing margin of 1.35%) and base rate loans have a borrowing margin of 0.35% to 0.90% determined based on the Borrower’s total leverage ratio (with an initial borrowing margin of 0.35%).  The New Revolving Credit Agreement also provides for




the payment of a quarterly unused facility fee equal to the average daily unused amount for each quarter multiplied by 0.25%.

The New Revolving Credit Agreement requires the Borrower to maintain for each four-quarter period a total leverage ratio (total indebtedness to consolidated EBITDA) of no more than (1) 8.0 to 1.0 at any time prior to January 1, 2008, (2) 7.0 to 1.0 at any time during 2008, and (3) 6.0 to 1.0 at any time after December 31, 2008, and a fixed charge coverage ratio (consolidated EBITDA to fixed charges) of no less than 1.75 to 1.00 at all times.  The New Revolving Credit Agreement contains negative covenants, subject in each case to certain exceptions, restricting incurrence of indebtedness, incurrence of liens, fundamental changes, acquisitions and investments, asset sales, transactions with affiliates and restricted payments, including, among others, a covenant prohibiting the Company from paying cash dividends on its common stock.

The New Revolving Credit Agreement provides for customary events of default, including failure to pay principal or interest when due, failure to comply with covenants, any representation proving to be incorrect, defaults relating to other indebtedness of at least $10,000,000 in the aggregate, certain insolvency and receivership events affecting the Company or its subsidiaries, judgments in excess of $5,000,000 in the aggregate being rendered against the Company or its subsidiaries, the acquisition by any person of 40% or more of any outstanding class of capital stock having ordinary voting power in the election of directors of the Company, and the incurrence of certain ERISA liabilities in excess of $5,000,000 in the aggregate.

In the event of a default by the Company, the Agent may, and at the direction of the requisite number of lenders will, terminate the lenders’ commitments to make loans under the New Revolving Credit Agreement, declare the obligations under the New Revolving Credit Agreement immediately due and payable and enforce any and all rights of the lenders or the Agent under the New Revolving Credit Agreement and related documents. For certain events of default related to insolvency and receivership, the commitments of the lenders are automatically terminated and all outstanding obligations become immediately due and payable.

Obligations under the New Revolving Credit Agreement are secured by, among other collateral, a mortgage on Delano and the pledge of equity interests in the Borrower and certain subsidiaries of the Borrower, including the owners of Delano, Morgans and Royalton, as well as a security interest in other significant personal property (including trademarks and other intellectual property, reserves and deposits) relating to those hotels.

The New Revolving Credit Agreement is available on a revolving basis for general corporate purposes, including acquisitions.

New Mortgages

On October 6, 2006, subsidiaries of the Company entered into new mortgage financings with Wachovia Bank, National Association, as lender, consisting of two separate mortgage loans and a mezzanine loan, in the following amounts: (1) a $217 million first mortgage note secured by Hudson, (2) a $32.5 million mezzanine loan

2




secured by a pledge of the equity interests in the Company’s subsidiary owning Hudson, and (3) a $120.5 million first mortgage note secured by Mondrian (collectively, the “New Mortgages”).

The New Mortgages bear interest at a blended rate of 30-day LIBOR plus 125 basis points. The New Mortgages mature on July 15, 2010.  The Company has the option of extending the maturity date of the New Mortgages to October 15, 2011.  The Company  maintains an interest rate cap for the amount of the New Mortgages and has entered into forward starting swaps that will effectively fix the LIBOR rate on the debt under the New Mortgages at approximately 5.0% through the maturity date.

The prepayment clause in the New Mortgages permits us to prepay the New Mortgages in whole or in part on any business day, along with a spread maintenance premium (equal to the amount of the prepayment multiplied by the applicable LIBOR margin multiplied by the ratio of the number of months between the prepayment date and October 31, 2007 divided by 12).

The New Mortgages prohibit the incurrence of additional debt on Hudson and Mondrian.

The New Mortgages require the Company’s subsidiary borrowers to fund reserve accounts to cover monthly debt service payments. Those subsidiary borrowers are also required to fund reserves for property, sales and occupancy taxes, insurance premiums, capital expenditures and the operation and maintenance of those hotels. Reserves are deposited into restricted cash accounts and are released as certain conditions are met. The Company’s subsidiary borrowers are not permitted to have any liabilities other than certain ordinary trade payables, purchase money indebtedness and capital lease obligations. Furthermore, the subsidiary borrowers are not permitted to incur additional mortgage debt or partnership interest debt. In addition, the New Mortgages do not permit (1) transfers of more than 49% of the interests in the subsidiary borrowers, Morgans Group LLC or the Company or (2) a change in control of the subsidiary borrowers or in respect of Morgans Group LLC or the Company itself without, in each case, complying with various conditions or obtaining the prior written consent of the lender.

The New Mortgages provide for events of default customary in mortgage financings, including, among others, failure to pay principal or interest when due, failure to comply with certain covenants, certain insolvency and receivership events affecting the subsidiary borrowers, Morgans Group LLC or the Company, and breach of the encumbrance and transfer provisions.  In the event of a default under the New Mortgages, the lender’s recourse is limited to the mortgaged property, unless the event of default results from an insolvency, a voluntary bankruptcy filing or a breach of the encumbrance and transfer provisions, in which event the lender may also pursue remedies against Morgans Group LLC.

Repayment of Outstanding Term Loan, Mortgage Debt and Termination of Previous Revolving Credit Facility

Proceeds from the New Mortgages were applied to (1) repay $285 million of outstanding mortgage debt under the Company’s 5 Hotel Debt described in the

3




Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2005 (the “Form 10-K”), (2) repay $80 million of indebtedness under a term loan described in the Form 10-K (the “Term Loan”), and (3) pay fees and expenses in connection with the financings.

After repayment of the mortgage debt under the Company’s 5 Hotel Debt and the Term Loan, each of those facilities was terminated.  Also on October 6, 2006, the Company terminated its three-year revolving credit facility of $125 million which was entered into concurrently with the Company’s initial public offering in February 2006 (the “Previous Credit Facility”), which Previous Credit Facility did not have any amounts outstanding at the time of its termination.

The Term Loan was unconditionally guaranteed by three direct or indirect wholly-owned subsidiaries of Morgans Group LLC and Morgans Group LLC.  The Previous Credit Facility was unconditionally guaranteed by Morgans Hotel Group Co., three direct or indirect wholly-owned subsidiaries of Morgans Group LLC and Morgans Hotel Group Management LLC.

The interest rate per annum applicable to the Term Loan at the time of termination was LIBOR plus 3.50%. The interest rate per annum applicable to the Previous Credit Facility at the time of termination was LIBOR plus 2.75%.

The Term Loan and the Previous Credit Facility required the Company to maintain for each four-quarter period an adjusted debt to adjusted EBITDA ratio of no more than 6.5 to 1.0, an adjusted EBITDA to fixed charges ratio of no less than 2.0 to 1.0, and a senior secured indebtedness to adjusted EBITDA ratio of not more than 5.0 to 1.0. The Term Loan and the Previous Credit Facility contained a covenant prohibiting the Company from paying dividends on the Company’s common stock.

Certain of the lenders, agents and other parties to the New Revolving Credit Agreement and the New Mortgages, and their affiliates, have in the past provided, and may in the future provide, investment banking, underwriting, lending, commercial banking and other advisory services to the Company and its subsidiaries. Such lenders, agents and other parties have received, and may in the future receive, customary compensation from the Company and its subsidiaries for such services.

The foregoing description of the New Revolving Credit Agreement, the New Mortgages and related matters is qualified in its entirety by reference to the New Revolving Credit Agreement and the New Mortgages, which are filed as Exhibits 10.1, 10.2, 10.3 and 10.4 hereto and incorporated herein by reference.

42




and the interest of Lender in, the Property.  Borrower will pay all filing, registration or recording fees, and all expenses incident to the preparation, execution and acknowledgment of this Security Instrument, any mortgage or deed of trust, as applicable, supplemental hereto, any security instrument with respect to the Property and any instrument of further assurance, and all federal, state, county and municipal, taxes, duties, imposts, assessments and charges arising out of or in connection with the execution and delivery of this Security Instrument, any mortgage or deed of trust, as applicable, supplemental hereto, any security instrument with respect to the Property or any instrument of further assurance, except where prohibited by law to do so, in which event Lender may declare the Debt to be immediately due and payable.  Borrower shall hold harmless and indemnify Lender and its successors and assigns, against any liability incurred as a result of the imposition of any tax on the making and recording of this Security Instrument.

Section 2.05.  Representations, Warranties and Covenants Relating to the Property.  Borrower represents and warrants to and covenants with Lender with respect to the Property as follows:

(a)           Lien Priority.  This Security Instrument is a valid and enforceable first lien on the Property, free and clear of all encumbrances and liens having priority over the lien of this Security Instrument, except for the items set forth as exceptions to, subordinate matters in, or otherwise disclosed in the title insurance policy insuring the lien of this Security Instrument, none of which, individually or in the aggregate, materially interfere with the benefits of the security intended to be provided by this Security Instrument, materially affect the value or marketability of the Property, materially impair the use or operation of the Property for the use currently being made thereof or impair Borrower’s ability to pay its obligations in a timely manner (such items being the “Permitted Encumbrances”).

(b)           Title.  Borrower has, subject only to the Permitted Encumbrances, good, insurable and marketable fee simple title to the Fee Premises, Improvements and Fixtures (the Improvements and Fixtures, together with the Premises are referred to collectively as the “Realty”) and good, insurable and marketable leasehold title to the Leasehold Premises and good, insurable and marketable title to all easements and rights benefiting the Realty and has the right, power and authority to mortgage, encumber, give, grant, bargain, sell, alien, enfeoff, convey, confirm, pledge, assign, and hypothecate the Property.  Borrower will preserve its interest in and title to the Property and will forever warrant and defend the same to Lender against any and all claims made by, through or under Borrower and will forever warrant and defend the validity and priority of the lien and security interest created herein against the claims of all Persons whomsoever claiming by, through or under Borrower.  The foregoing warranty of title shall survive the foreclosure of this Security Instrument and shall inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by Lender in the event Lender acquires title to the Property pursuant to any foreclosure.  In addition, there are no outstanding options or rights of first refusal to purchase the Property or Borrower’s ownership thereof.

(c)           Taxes and Impositions.  All taxes and other Impositions and governmental assessments due and payable in respect of, and affecting, the Property have been paid to the extent due and payable as of the date hereof.  Borrower has paid all Impositions which constitute

43




special governmental assessments in full, except for those assessments which are permitted by applicable Legal Requirements to be paid in installments, in which case all installments which are due and payable have been paid in full.  There are no pending, or to Borrower’s best knowledge, proposed special or other assessments for public improvements or otherwise affecting the Property, nor are there any contemplated improvements to the Property that may result in such special or other assessments.

(d)           Casualty; Flood Zone.  The Realty is in good repair and free and clear of any damage, destruction or casualty (whether or not covered by insurance) that would materially affect the value of the Realty or the use for which the Realty is currently being used, there exists no structural or other material defects or damages in or to the Property and Borrower has not received any written notice from any insurance company or bonding company of any material defect or inadequacies in the Property, or any part thereof, which would materially and adversely affect the insurability of the same or cause the imposition of extraordinary premiums or charges thereon or of any termination or threatened termination of any policy of insurance or bond.  No portion of the Premises is located in an “area of special flood hazard,” as that term is defined in the regulations of the Federal Insurance Administration, Department of Housing and Urban Development, under the National Flood Insurance Act of 1968, as amended (24 CFR § 1909.1), other than as disclosed in the surveys of the Property delivered to Lender by Borrower in connection with the origination of the Loan, or Borrower has obtained the flood insurance required by Section 3.01(a)(vi) hereof. The Premises either does not lie in a 100 year flood plain that has been identified by the Secretary of Housing and Urban Development or any other Governmental Authority or, if it does, Borrower has obtained the flood insurance required by Section 3.01(a)(vi) hereof.

(e)           Completion; Encroachment.  All Improvements necessary for the efficient use and operation of the Premises have been completed and, other than as disclosed in the surveys of the Property delivered to Lender by Borrower in connection with the origination of the Loan, none of said Improvements lie outside the boundaries and building restriction lines of the Premises.  Except as set forth in the title insurance policy insuring the lien of this Security Instrument, no improvements on adjoining properties encroach upon the Premises.

(f)            Separate Lot.  The Premises are taxed separately without regard to any other real estate and constitute a legally subdivided lot under all applicable Legal Requirements (or, if not subdivided, no subdivision or platting of the Premises is required under applicable Legal Requirements), and for all purposes may be mortgaged, encumbered, conveyed or otherwise dealt with as an independent parcel other than as otherwise disclosed in writing to Lender with respect to the Premises.  The Property does not benefit from any tax abatement or exemption.

(g)           Use.  The existence of all Improvements, the present use and operation thereof and the access of the Premises and the Improvements to all of the utilities and other items referred to in paragraph (k) below are in compliance in all material respects with all Leases affecting the Property and all applicable Legal Requirements, including, without limitation, Environmental Statutes, Development Laws and Use Requirements.  Borrower has not received

44




any notice from any Governmental Authority alleging any uncured violation relating to the Property of any applicable Legal Requirements.

(h)           Licenses and Permits.  Borrower currently holds and will continue to hold all certificates of occupancy, licenses, registrations, permits, consents, franchises and approvals of any Governmental Authority or any other Person which are material for the lawful occupancy and operation of the Realty or which are material to the ownership or operation of the Property or the conduct of Borrower’s business.  All such certificates of occupancy, licenses, registrations, permits, consents, franchises and approvals are current and in full force and effect.

(i)            Intentionally Omitted.

(j)            Property Proceedings.  There are no actions, suits or proceedings pending or, to Borrower’s knowledge, threatened in any court or before any Governmental Authority or arbitration board or tribunal (i) relating to (A) the zoning of the Premises or any part thereof, (B) any certificates of occupancy, licenses, registrations, permits, consents or approvals issued with respect to the Property or any part thereof, (C) the condemnation of the Property or any part thereof, or (D) the condemnation or relocation of any roadways abutting the Premises required for access or the denial or limitation of access to the Premises or any part thereof from any point of access to the Premises, (ii) asserting that (A) any such zoning, certificates of occupancy, licenses, registrations, permits, consents and/or approvals do not permit the operation of any material portion of the Realty as presently being conducted, (B) any material improvements located on the Property or any part thereof cannot be located thereon or operated with their intended use or (C) the operation of the Property or any part thereof is in violation in any material respect of any Environmental Statutes, Development Laws or other Legal Requirements or Space Leases or Property Agreements or (iii) which could reasonably be expected to (A) affect the validity or priority of any Loan Document or (B) have a Material Adverse Effect.  Borrower is not aware of any facts or circumstances which may give rise to any actions, suits or proceedings described in the preceding sentence.

(k)           Utilities.  The Premises has all necessary legal access to water, gas and electrical supply, storm and sanitary sewerage facilities, other required public utilities (with respect to each of the aforementioned items, by means of either a direct connection to the source of such utilities or through connections available on publicly dedicated roadways directly abutting the Premises or through permanent insurable easements benefiting the Premises), fire and police protection, parking, and means of direct access between the Premises and public highways over recognized curb cuts (or such access to public highways is through private roadways which may be used for ingress and egress pursuant to permanent insurable easements).

(l)            Mechanics’ Liens.  The Property is free and clear of any mechanics’ liens or liens in the nature thereof, and to Borrower’s knowledge no rights are outstanding that under law could give rise to any such liens, any of which liens are or may be prior to, or equal with, the lien of this Security Instrument, except those which are insured against by the title insurance policy insuring the lien of this Security Instrument.

(m)          Intentionally Omitted.

45




(n)           Insurance.  The Property is insured in accordance with the requirements set forth in Article III hereof.

(o)           Space Leases.

(i)            Borrower has delivered a true, correct and complete schedule of all Space Leases as of the date hereof, which accurately and completely sets forth in all material respects, for each such Space Lease, the following (collectively, the “Rent Roll”):  the name and address of the tenant with the name, title and telephone number of the contact person of such tenant; the lease expiration date, extension and renewal provisions; the base rent and percentage rent payable; all additional rent and pass-through obligations; and the security deposit held thereunder and the location of such deposit.

(ii)           Each Space Lease constitutes the legal, valid and binding obligation of Borrower and, to the knowledge of Borrower, is enforceable against the tenant thereof.  No default exists, or with the passing of time or the giving of notice would exist, (A) under any Major Space Lease or (B) under any other Space Leases which would, in the aggregate, have a Material Adverse Effect.

(iii)          No tenant under any Space Lease has, as of the date hereof, paid Rent more than thirty (30) days in advance, and the Rents under such Space Leases have not been waived, released, or otherwise discharged or compromised other than in accordance with the terms of such Space Lease.

(iv)          All work to be performed by Borrower under the Space Leases has been substantially performed, all contributions to be made by Borrower to the tenants thereunder have been made except for any held-back amounts, and all other conditions precedent to the commencement of the term thereunder have been satisfied.

(v)           Except as previously disclosed to Lender in writing, there are no options to terminate any Space Lease.

(vi)          Each tenant under a Major Space Lease has entered into occupancy of the demised premises to the extent required under the terms of its Major Space Lease, and each such tenant is open and conducting business with the public in the demised premises.  To the best knowledge of Borrower, after due inquiry, each tenant under a Lease other than a Major Space Lease has entered into occupancy of its demised premises under its Lease to the extent required under the terms of its Lease and each such tenant is open and conducting business with the public in the demised premises.

(vii)         Borrower has delivered to Lender true, correct and complete copies of all Space Leases described in the Rent Roll.

(viii)        Each Space Lease is in full force and effect and (except as disclosed on the Rent Roll) has not been assigned, modified, supplemented or amended in any way.

46




(ix)           To Borrower’s best knowledge, no tenant under a Space Lease has filed any bankruptcy, reorganization or arrangement proceedings or made a general assignment for the benefit of creditors.

(x)            No Space Lease provides any party with the right to obtain a lien or encumbrance upon the Property superior to the lien of this Security Instrument.

(p)           Property Agreements.

(i)            Borrower has delivered to Lender true, correct and complete copies of all Property Agreements.

(ii)           No Property Agreement provides any party with the right to obtain a lien or encumbrance upon the Property superior to the lien of this Security Instrument.

(iii)          No default exists or with the passing of time or the giving of notice or both would exist under any Property Agreement which would, individually or in the aggregate, have a Material Adverse Effect.

(iv)          Borrower has not received or given any written communication which alleges that a default exists or, with the giving of notice or the lapse of time, or both, would exist under the provisions of any Property Agreement.

(v)           No condition exists whereby Borrower or any future owner of the Property may be required to purchase any other parcel of land which is subject to any Property Agreement or which gives any Person a right to purchase, or right of first refusal with respect to, the Property.

(vi)          To the best knowledge of Borrower, no offset or any right of offset exists respecting continued contributions to be made by any party to any Property Agreement except as expressly set forth therein. Except as previously disclosed to Lender in writing, no material exclusions or restrictions on the utilization, leasing or improvement of the Property (including non-compete agreements) exists in any Property Agreement.

(vii)         All “pre-opening” requirements contained in all Property Agreements (including, but not limited to, all off-site and on-site construction requirements), if any, have been fulfilled in all material respects, and, to the best of Borrower’s knowledge, no condition now exists which would permit any party to any such Property Agreement to refuse to honor its obligations thereunder in accordance with the terms thereof.

(viii)        All work, if any, to be performed by Borrower under each of the Property Agreements has been substantially performed, all contributions to be made by Borrower to any party to such Property Agreements have been made, and all other conditions to such party’s obligations thereunder have been satisfied in all material respects.

47

(s)           Security Deposits.  All security deposits with respect to the Property, if any, on the date hereof have been transferred to the Security Deposit Account on the date hereof, and Borrower is in compliance with all Legal Requirements relating to such security deposits as to which failure to comply could reasonably be expected to, individually or in the aggregate, have a Material Adverse Effect.

(t)            Appraisal.  Borrower has no knowledge that any of the facts or assumptions on which the Appraisal was based are false or incomplete in any material respect and has no information that would reasonably suggest that the fair market value determined in the Appraisal does not reflect the actual fair market value of the Property.

(u)           Representations Generally.  The representations and warranties contained in this Security Instrument, and the review and inquiry made on behalf of Borrower therefor, have all been made by Persons having the requisite expertise and knowledge to provide such representations and warranties.  No representation, warranty or statement of fact made by or on behalf of Borrower in this Security Instrument or in any certificate, document or schedule furnished to Lender pursuant hereto, contains any untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state any material fact necessary to make statements contained therein or herein not misleading (which may be to Borrower’s best knowledge where so provided herein).  There are no facts presently known to Borrower which have not been disclosed to Lender which would, individually or in the aggregate, have a Material Adverse Effect nor which could reasonably be expected to, individually or in the aggregate, have a Material Adverse Effect.

(v)           Liquor License.  All licenses, permits, approvals and consents which are required for the sale and service of alcoholic beverages on the Premises have been obtained from the applicable Governmental Authorities.

(w)          Credit Card Companies.  The only Credit Card Companies are Chase Merchant Services and American Express.

48




(ii)           Borrower has the right to sublease or otherwise encumber, without restriction, all or any part of the Leasehold Premises and encumber the Ground Lease and the leasehold estate created thereby without the consent of Ground Lessor.

(iii)          if any default by Borrower shall occur under the Ground Lease, Lender is entitled under the Ground Lease to receive notice of such default contemporaneously with any notice of default which is given to Borrower from Ground Lessor and an additional opportunity to cure any such default which is susceptible of cure by Lender, which in the case of any non-monetary default susceptible of cure by Lender, includes the right of Lender or its designee to acquire possession of the Leasehold Premises by means of foreclosure of this Security Instrument or by other means and to become the lessee under the Ground Lease.  So long as Lender has agreed to effectuate a cure and is proceeding to cure any such non-monetary default within applicable notice and grace periods and no monetary default remains uncured beyond any applicable notice and grace periods to which Borrower and Lender are entitled, Ground Lessor may not terminate the Ground Lease.

(iv)          The Ground Lease is in full force and effect and has not been modified or supplemented.  Other than in connection with an event of default thereunder, the Ground Lease cannot be cancelled solely by Ground Lessor and requires Borrower’s consent for all modifications.

(v)           All rents (including additional rents and other charges) reserved for in the Ground Lease and payable prior to the date hereof have been paid.

(vi)          No party to the Ground Lease is in default of any obligation such party has thereunder and no event has occurred which, with the giving of notice or the lapse of time, or both, would constitute such a default thereunder.

(vii)         No notice or other written or oral communication has been provided to any party under the Ground Lease which alleges that, as of the date hereof, either a default exists or with the passage of time will exist under the provisions of such Ground Lease.

(viii)        If there shall be a Taking of the fee title to the Leasehold Premises, subject to amounts which are applied to restoration, Borrower is entitled under the Ground Lease to receive such portion of the award for such Taking as equals the value of Borrower’s estate under the Ground Lease and improvements made by Borrower.  If there shall be a casualty under a Ground Lease, either there is an obligation to use insurance proceeds for a full restoration or Borrower is entitled to receive such portion of such proceeds as equals the value of the Improvements.

(ix)           The Ground Lease may be assigned from time to time without the consent of Ground Lessor.

(x)            Provided that no monetary default remains uncured beyond any applicable notice and grace periods to which Borrower and Lender are entitled, the Ground Lease

49




may not be terminated by Ground Lessor by reason of any default by Borrower which is not susceptible of cure by Lender.

(xi)           If the Ground Lease is terminated by reason of a default by Borrower, Lender or its designee is entitled under the Ground Lease to enter into a new lease (the “New Lease”) with Ground Lessor for the remainder of the term of the Ground Lease upon the same base rent and additional rent and other terms, covenants, conditions and agreements as are contained in the Ground Lease.

Section 2.06.  Removal of Lien.  (a) Borrower shall, at its expense, maintain this Security Instrument as a first lien on the Property and shall keep the Property free and clear of all liens and encumbrances of any kind and nature other than the Permitted Encumbrances.  Borrower shall, within ten (10) days following the filing thereof, promptly discharge of record, by bond or otherwise, any such liens and, promptly upon request by Lender, shall deliver to Lender evidence reasonably satisfactory to Lender of the discharge thereof.

(b)           Without limitation to the provisions of Section 2.06(a) hereof, Borrower shall (i) unless being contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings in accordance with Section 2.06(c) hereof, pay, from time to time when the same shall become due, all claims and demands of mechanics, materialmen, laborers, and others which, if unpaid, might result in, or permit the creation of, a lien on the Property or any part thereof, (ii) cause to be removed of record (by payment or posting of bond or settlement or otherwise) any mechanics’, materialmens’, laborers’ or other lien on the Property, or any part thereof, or on the revenues, rents, issues, income or profit arising therefrom, and (iii) in general, do or cause to be done, without expense to Lender, everything reasonably necessary to preserve in full the lien of this Security Instrument.  If Borrower fails to comply with the requirements of this Section 2.06(b), then, upon five (5) Business Days’ prior notice to Borrower, Lender may, but shall not be obligated to, pay any such lien, and Borrower shall, within five (5) Business Days after Lender’s demand therefor, reimburse Lender for all sums so expended, together with interest thereon at the Default Rate from the date advanced, all of which shall be deemed part of the Debt.  Nothing contained herein shall be deemed a consent or request of Lender, express or implied, by inference or otherwise, to the performance of any alteration, repair or other work by any contractor, subcontractor or laborer or the furnishing of any materials by any materialmen in connection therewith.

(c)           Notwithstanding the foregoing, Borrower may contest any lien (other than a lien relating to non-payment of Impositions, the contest of which shall be governed by Section 4.04 hereof) of the type set forth in subparagraph (b)(ii) of this Section 2.06 provided that, following prior notice to Lender (i) Borrower is contesting the validity of such lien with due diligence and in good faith and by appropriate proceedings, without cost or expense to Lender or any of its agents, employees, officers, or directors, (ii) Borrower shall preclude the collection of, or other realization upon, any contested amount from the Property or any revenues from or interest in the Property, (iii) neither the Property nor any part thereof nor interest therein, shall be in any danger of being sold, forfeited or lost by reason of such contest by Borrower, (iv) such contest by Borrower shall not affect the ownership, use or occupancy of the Property, (v) such contest by Borrower shall not subject Lender or Borrower to the risk of civil or criminal liability (other than

50




the civil liability of Borrower for the amount of the lien in question), (vi) such lien is subordinate to the lien of this Security Instrument, (vii) Borrower has not consented to such lien, (viii) Borrower has given Lender prompt notice of the filing of such lien and the bonding thereof by Borrower and, upon request by Lender from time to time, notice of the status of such contest by Borrower and/or confirmation of the continuing satisfaction of the conditions set forth in this Section 2.06(c), (ix) Borrower shall promptly pay the obligation secured by such lien upon a final determination of Borrower’s liability therefor, and (x) Borrower shall deliver to Lender cash, a bond or other security acceptable to Lender equal to 125% of the contested amount pursuant to collateral arrangements reasonably satisfactory to Lender.

Section 2.07.  Cost of Defending and Upholding this Security Instrument Lien.  If any action or proceeding is commenced to which Lender is made a party relating to the Loan Documents and/or the Property or Lender’s interest therein or in which it becomes necessary to defend or uphold the lien of this Security Instrument or any other Loan Document, Borrower shall, on demand, reimburse Lender for all expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements) incurred by Lender in connection therewith, and such sum, together with interest thereon at the Default Rate from and after such demand until fully paid, shall constitute a part of the Debt.

Section 2.08.  Use of the Property.  Borrower will use, or cause to be used, the Property for such use as is permitted pursuant to applicable Legal Requirements including, without limitation, under the certificate of occupancy applicable to the Property, and which is required by the Loan Documents.  Borrower shall not suffer or permit the Property or any portion thereof to be used by the public, any tenant, or any Person not subject to a Lease, in a manner as is reasonably likely to impair Borrower’s title to the Property, or in such manner as may give rise to a claim or claims of adverse usage or adverse possession by the public, or of implied dedication of the Property or any part thereof.

Section 2.09.  Financial Reports.  (a) Borrower will keep and maintain or will cause to be kept and maintained on a Fiscal Year basis, in accordance with GAAP, the Uniform System of Accounts (or such other accounting basis reasonably acceptable to Lender) consistently applied, proper and accurate books, tax returns, records and accounts reflecting (i) all of the financial affairs of Borrower, Guarantor and (ii) all items of income and expense in connection with the operation of the Property or in connection with any services, equipment or furnishings provided in connection with the operation thereof, whether such income or expense may be realized by Borrower or by any other Person whatsoever, excepting lessees unrelated to and unaffiliated with Borrower who have leased from Borrower portions of the Premises for the purpose of occupying the same.  Lender shall have the right from time to time at all times during normal business hours upon reasonable notice to examine such books, tax returns, records and accounts at the office of Borrower or other Person maintaining such books, tax returns, records and accounts and to make such copies or extracts thereof as Lender shall desire.  After the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, Borrower shall pay any costs and expenses incurred by Lender to examine Borrower’s, Guarantor’s accounting records with respect to the Property, as Lender shall determine to be necessary or appropriate in the protection of Lender’s interest.

51

52




Certificate, dated as of the date of the delivery of such rent roll, certifying that such rent roll is true, correct and complete in all material respects as of its date.

(f)            Borrower shall furnish to Lender, within thirty (30) days after Lender’s request therefor, with such further detailed information with respect to the operation of the Property and the financial affairs of Borrower as may be reasonably requested by Lender.

(g)           Borrower shall cause Manager to furnish to Lender, within one hundred twenty (120) days following the end of each Fiscal Year of Borrower and upon request of Lender, a schedule of tenant security deposits showing any activity in the Security Deposit Account for such month, together with a certification of Manager as to the balance in such Security Deposit Account and that such tenant security deposits are being held in accordance with all Legal Requirements.

(h)           Borrower will furnish Lender annually, within one hundred twenty (120) days after the end of each Fiscal Year, with a report setting forth (i) the Net Operating Income for such Fiscal Year, (ii) the average occupancy rate of the Property during such Fiscal Year, (iii) the Capital Expenditures incurred at the Property during such Fiscal Year and the aggregate Recurring Replacement Expenditures made in connection therewith, and (iv) the balance contained in each of the Escrow Accounts as of the end of such Fiscal Year (which balance Lender shall provide upon Borrower’s written request therefor).

(i)            Borrower shall cause Manager to keep and maintain on a Fiscal Year basis, in accordance with GAAP and the Uniform System of Accounts (or such other accounting basis reasonably acceptable to Lender) consistently applied, proper and accurate books, records and accounts on an accrual basis reflecting (i) all of the financial results of operation and financial conditions of Manager and (ii) all items of income and expense in connection with the operation of the Property or in connection with any services, equipment or furnishings provided in connection with the operation thereof, whether such income or expense may be realized by Manager or by any other Person whatsoever.  Lender shall have the right from time to time at all times during normal business hours upon reasonable notice to examine such books, records and accounts at the office of Manager or other Person maintaining such books, records and accounts and to make such copies or extracts thereof as Lender shall desire.  After the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, Borrower shall pay any costs and expenses incurred by Lender to examine Manager’s accounting records with respect to the Property, as Lender shall determine to be necessary or appropriate in the protection of Lender’s interest.

(j)            Borrower will furnish Lender monthly, within thirty (30) days following the end of each month, an occupancy summary for the Property setting forth the occupancy rates, average daily room rates, RevPAR Yield Index, RevPAR and room revenues for each month of the current calendar year, as well as year-to-date averages, and such other information as may customarily be reflected thereon or reasonably requested by Lender, together with all STR Reports received by Borrower during the preceding month.

(k)           Borrower shall and shall cause Guarantor to furnish to Lender annually, within thirty (30) days of filing its respective tax return, a copy of such tax return and within one

53




hundred twenty (120) days after the end of each Fiscal Year or in lieu thereof deliver annual financial statements of Guarantor prepared in accordance with GAAP which are audited by a nationally recognized Independent certified public accountant that is reasonably acceptable to Lender.

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

(m)          In the event that Borrower fails to deliver any of the financial statements, reports or other information required to be delivered to Lender pursuant to this Section 2.09 on or prior to their due dates, if any such failure shall continue for ten (10) days following notice thereof from Lender, Borrower shall pay to Lender on each Payment Date for each month or portion thereof that any such financial statements, reports or other information remains undelivered, an administrative fee in the amount of Two Thousand Five Hundred Dollars ($2,500) in the aggregate for all failures occurring in any applicable month.  Borrower agrees that such administrative fee (i) is a fair and reasonable fee necessary to compensate Lender for its additional administrative costs and increased costs relating to Borrower’s failure to deliver the aforementioned statements, reports or other items as and when required hereunder and (ii) is not a penalty.

54




Section 2.10.  Litigation.  Borrower will give prompt written notice to Lender of any litigation or governmental proceedings pending or threatened (in writing) against Borrower which are reasonably likely to have a Material Adverse Effect.

Section 2.11.  Updates of Representations.  Borrower shall deliver to Lender within ten (10) days of the request of Lender an Officer’s Certificate updating all of the representations and warranties contained in this Security Instrument and the other Loan Documents and certifying that all of the representations and warranties contained in this Security Instrument and the other Loan Documents, as updated pursuant to such Officer’s Certificate, are true, accurate and complete as of the date of such Officer’s Certificate.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, provided that no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, Borrower shall not be required to deliver the foregoing Officer’s Certificate more than three (3) times during the term of the Loan.  For the avoidance of doubt, Lender acknowledges and agrees that it shall not be the basis of a Default or Event of Default hereunder if any representation that was true when made ceases to continue to be true thereafter (unless and only to the extent that the same constitutes a breach of a covenant hereunder or an “Event of Default” as expressly defined in Section 13.01 hereof).

Section 2.12.  Major Contracts.  Borrower shall not enter into any new Major Contracts or amend any existing Major Contracts without, in each instance, first obtaining Lender’s prior consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, Lender hereby approves Jeffrey Chodorow or any entity Controlled by Jeffrey Chodorow as a restaurant and bar operator for the bars and restaurants situated at the Premises, but reserves the right to approve any economic terms of any new Major Contracts with Jeffrey Chodorow or any entity Controlled by Jeffrey Chodorow unless such new Major Contracts are on terms which are substantially the same or more favorable to the Property than the terms of the applicable Major Contracts in effect prior to the amendment or renewal thereof, in which case such new Major Contracts shall be deemed approved by Lender.

Section 2.13.  Ground Lease.  (a) Borrower will comply in all material respects with the terms and conditions of the Ground Lease.  Borrower will not do or permit anything to be done, the doing of which, or refrain from doing anything, the omission of which, will impair the security of the Leasehold Premises under the Ground Lease or will be grounds for declaring a forfeiture of the Ground Lease.

(b)           Borrower shall enforce the Ground Lease and will not terminate, modify, cancel, change, supplement, alter or amend the Ground Lease, or waive, excuse, condone or in any way release or discharge Ground Lessor of or from any of the material covenants and conditions to be performed or observed by Ground Lessor.  Borrower does hereby bargain, sell, assign and set over to Lender, all of Borrower’s interests in the Ground Lease.  The assignment of Borrower’s interest set forth in this Section 2.13(b) is an absolute, unconditional and present assignment from Borrower to Lender and not an assignment for security and the existence or exercise of Borrower’s revocable license to take all actions with respect to the Ground Lease shall not operate to subordinate this assignment to any subsequent assignment.  The exercise by Lender of any of its rights or remedies pursuant to this Section 2.13(b) shall not be deemed to make Lender a mortgagee-in-possession.  So long as there shall exist and be continuing no Event of Default,

55




Borrower shall have a revocable license to take all actions with respect to the Ground Lease subject to the terms of this Security Instrument.  Any surrender of the leasehold estate created by the Ground Lease or termination, cancellation, modification, change, supplement, alteration or amendment of the Ground Lease without the prior written consent of Lender shall be void and of no force and effect.

(c)           Lender shall have the right, but not the obligation, to perform any obligations of Borrower under the terms of the Ground Lease during the continuance of an Event of Default.  All costs and expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses) so incurred, shall be treated as an advance secured by this Security Instrument, shall bear interest thereon at the Default Rate from the date of payment by Lender until paid in full and shall be paid by Borrower to Lender during the continuance of an Event of Default within five (5) days after demand.  No performance by Lender of any obligations of Borrower shall constitute a waiver of any Event of Default arising by reason of Borrower’s failure to perform the same.  If Lender shall make any payment or perform any act or take action in accordance with this Section 2.13(c), Lender will notify Borrower of the making of any such payment, the performance of any such act, or the taking of any such action.  In any such event, subject to the rights of lessees, sublessees and other occupants under the Leases, Lender and any Person designated by Lender shall have, and are hereby granted, the right to enter upon the Property at any time and from time to time for the purpose of taking any such action.

(d)           To the extent permitted by law, the price payable by Borrower or any other Person in the exercise of any right of redemption following foreclosure of the Property shall include all rents paid and other sums advanced by Lender on behalf of Borrower, together with interest thereon at the Default Rate.

(e)           Unless Lender shall otherwise consent, the fee title and the leasehold estate in the Leasehold Premises shall not merge but shall always be kept separate and distinct, notwithstanding the union of said estates either in Ground Lessor or in Borrower, or in a third party, by purchase or otherwise.

(f)            If the Ground Lessor shall deliver to Lender a copy of any notice of default sent by the Ground Lessor to Borrower, as tenant under the Ground Lease, such notice shall constitute full protection to Lender for any action taken or omitted to be taken by Lender, in good faith in accordance with this Security Instrument, in reliance thereon.

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

56




(h)           Each Space Lease hereafter made and each renewal of any existing Space Lease shall provide that, (i) in the event of the termination of the Ground Lease, such Space Lease shall not terminate or be terminable by the lessee; (ii) in the event of any action for the foreclosure of this Security Instrument, such Space Lease shall not terminate or be terminable by the lessee by reason of the termination of the Ground Lease unless the lessee is specifically named and joined in any such action and unless a judgment is obtained therein against the lessee; and (iii) in the event that the Ground Lease is terminated as aforesaid and a “new lease” is granted, the lessee under such Space Lease shall attorn to the Borrower or to the purchaser at the sale of the Property upon such foreclosure, as the case may be.

(i)            Borrower hereby assigns, transfers and sets over to Lender all of Borrower’s claims and rights to the payment of damages arising from any rejection by the Ground Lessor of the Ground Lease under the Bankruptcy Code.  Borrower shall notify Lender promptly (and in any event within ten (10) days) of any claim, suit, action or proceeding relating to the rejection of the Ground Lease.  Lender is hereby irrevocably appointed as Borrower’s attorney-in-fact, coupled with an interest, with exclusive power to file and prosecute, to the exclusion of Borrower, any proofs of claim, complaints, motions, applications, notices and other documents, in any case in respect of the Ground Lessor under the Bankruptcy Code during the continuance of an Event of Default.  Borrower may make any compromise or settlement in connection with such proceedings (subject to Lender’s reasonable approval); provided, however, that Lender shall be authorized and entitled to compromise or settle any such proceeding if such compromise or settlement is made after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default.  Borrower shall promptly execute and deliver to Lender any and all instruments reasonably required in connection with any such proceeding after request therefor by Lender.  Except as set forth above, Borrower shall not adjust, compromise, settle or enter into any agreement with respect to such proceedings without the prior written consent of Lender, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed.

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

(k)           If pursuant to Section 365(h)(2) of the Bankruptcy Code, Borrower seeks to offset against the rent reserved in the Ground Lease the amount of any damages caused by the non-performance by the Ground Lessor of any of the Ground Lessor’s obligations under the Ground Lease after the rejection by the Ground Lessor of the Ground Lease under the Bankruptcy Code, Borrower shall, prior to effecting such offset, notify Lender of its intention to do so, setting forth the amounts proposed to be so offset and the basis therefor.  If Lender has failed to object as aforesaid within ten (10) days after notice from Borrower in accordance with the first sentence of this Section 2.13(k), Borrower may proceed to effect such offset in the amounts set forth in Borrower’s notice.  Neither Lender’s failure to object as aforesaid nor any objection or other communication between Lender and Borrower relating to such offset shall constitute an approval of any such offset by Lender.  Borrower shall indemnify and save Lender harmless from and against any and all claims, demands, actions, suits, proceedings, damages, losses, costs and expenses of every nature whatsoever (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees

57




and disbursements) arising from or relating to any such offset by Borrower against the rent reserved in the Ground Lease.

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

(m)          If there shall be filed by or against Borrower a petition under the Bankruptcy Code, and Borrower, as the tenant under the Ground Lease, shall determine to reject the Ground Lease pursuant to Section 365(a) of the Bankruptcy Code, then Borrower shall give Lender not less than ten (10) days prior notice of the date on which Borrower shall apply to the bankruptcy court for authority to reject the Ground Lease.  Lender shall have the right, but not the obligation, to serve upon Borrower within such 10-day period a notice stating that (i) Lender demands that Borrower assume and assign the Ground Lease to Lender pursuant to Section 365 of the Bankruptcy Code and (ii) Lender covenants to cure or provide adequate assurance of prompt cure of all defaults and provide adequate assurance of future performance under the Ground Lease.  If Lender serves upon Borrower the notice described in the preceding sentence, Borrower shall not seek to reject the Ground Lease and shall comply with the demand provided for in clause (i) of the preceding sentence within thirty (30) days after the notice shall have been given, subject to the performance by Lender of the covenant provided for in clause (ii) of the preceding sentence.

(n)           Effective upon the entry of an order for relief in respect of Borrower under the Bankruptcy Code, Borrower hereby assigns and transfers to Lender a non-exclusive right to apply to the appropriate bankruptcy court under Section 365(d)(4) of the Bankruptcy Code for an order extending the period during which the Ground Lease may be rejected or assumed.

(o)           Borrower will give Lender prompt (and in all events within five (5) days) notice of any default under the Ground Lease or of the receipt by Borrower of any notice of default from Ground Lessor.  Borrower will promptly (and in all events within (5) days) furnish to Lender copies of all information furnished to Ground Lessor by the terms of the Ground Lease or the provisions of this Section 2.13.  Borrower will deposit with Lender an exact copy of any notice, communication, plan, specification or other instrument or document received or given by Borrower in any way relating to or affecting the Ground Lease which may concern or affect the estate of Ground Lessor or Borrower thereunder in or under the Ground Lease or in the real estate thereby demised.

(p)           Upon acquisition of the fee title or any other estate, title or interest in the Leasehold Premises by Borrower, this Security Instrument shall, automatically and without the necessity of execution of any other documents, attach to and cover and be a lien upon such other estate so acquired, and such other estate shall be considered as mortgaged, assigned and conveyed to Lender and the lien hereof spread to cover such estate with the same force and effect

58




as though specifically herein mortgaged, assigned and conveyed.  The provisions of this subsection shall not apply if Lender acquires title to the Leasehold Premises unless Lender shall so elect.

Section 3.01.  Insurance Coverage.  Borrower shall, at its expense, maintain the following insurance coverages with respect to the Property during the term of this Security Instrument:

(a)           (i) Insurance against loss or damage by fire, casualty and other hazards included in an “all-risk” coverage endorsement or its equivalent (which, in the case of insurance during the time of any construction work (“Construction”) shall be in “builder’s risk completed value non-reporting form” together with rents, earnings and extra expense insurance covering loss due to delay in completion of the Improvements), with such endorsements as Lender may from time to time reasonably require and which are customarily required by Institutional Lenders of similar properties similarly situated, including, without limitation, if the Property constitutes a legal non-conforming use, an ordinance of law coverage endorsement which contains “Demolition Cost”, “Loss Due to Operation of Law” and “Increased Cost of Construction” coverages, covering the Property in an amount not less than the greater of (A) 100% of the insurable replacement value of the Property (exclusive of the Premises and footings and foundations) and (B) such other amount as is necessary to prevent any reduction in such policy by reason of and to prevent Borrower, Lender or any other insured thereunder from being deemed to be a co-insurer.  Not less frequently than once every three (3) years, Borrower, at its option, shall either (A) have the Appraisal updated or obtain a new appraisal of the Property, (B) have a valuation of the Property made by or for its insurance carrier conducted by an appraiser experienced in valuing properties of similar type to that of the Property which are in the geographical area in which the Property is located or (C) provide such other evidence as will, in Lender’s sole judgment, enable Lender to determine whether there shall have been an increase in the insurable value of the Property and Borrower shall deliver such updated Appraisal, new appraisal, insurance valuation or other evidence acceptable to Lender, as the case may be, and, if such updated Appraisal, new appraisal, insurance valuation, or other evidence acceptable to Lender reflects an increase in the insurable value of the Property, the amount of insurance required hereunder shall be increased accordingly and Borrower shall deliver evidence satisfactory to Lender that such policy has been so increased.

(ii)           Commercial general liability insurance against claims for personal and bodily injury and/or death to one or more persons or property damage, occurring on, in or about the Property (including the adjoining streets, sidewalks and passageways therein) in such amounts as Lender may from time to time reasonably require (but in no event shall Lender’s requirements be increased more frequently than once during each twelve (12) month period) and which are customarily required by Institutional Lenders for similar properties similarly situated, but not less than $1,000,000 per occurrence and $2,000,000 general aggregate on a per location basis and, in addition thereto, not less than

(iv)          War risk insurance when such insurance is obtainable from the United States of America or any agency or instrumentality thereof at reasonable rates (for the maximum amount of insurance obtainable) and if requested by Lender, and such insurance is then customarily required by Institutional Lenders of similar properties similarly situated.  As of the Closing Date, no insurance of the type set forth in this Section 3.01(a)(iv) is required.

(v)           Insurance against loss or damages from (A) leakage of sprinkler systems and (B) explosion of steam boilers, air conditioning equipment, pressure vessels or similar apparatus now or hereafter installed at the Property, in such amounts as Lender may from time to time reasonably require and which are then customarily required by Institutional Lenders of similar properties similarly situated.

(x)            At all times during Construction, contractor’s liability insurance to a limit acceptable to Lender in its reasonable discretion based upon, among other things, then current market standards and the scope of work, covering each contractor’s construction operation at the Premises (which insurance may be provided by the contractor).

(xi)           Such other insurance as may from time to time be required by Lender and which is then customarily required by Institutional Lenders for similar properties similarly situated, against other insurable hazards, including, but not limited to, malicious mischief, vandalism, loss resulting from mold, spores or fungus on or about the Premises, (which Lender acknowledges, as of the Closing Date is not required hereunder), sinkhole and mine subsidence, windstorm and/or earthquake, due regard to be given to the size and type of the Premises, Improvements, Fixtures and Equipment and their location, construction and use.

Section 3.02.  Policy Terms.  (a) All insurance required by this Article III shall be in the form (other than with respect to Sections 3.01(a)(vi) and (vii) above when insurance in those two sub-sections is placed with a governmental agency or instrumentality on such agency’s forms) and amount and with deductibles as, from time to time, shall be reasonably acceptable to Lender, under valid and enforceable policies issued by financially responsible insurers authorized to do business in the State where the Property is located, which shall have a claims paying ability rating and/or financial strength rating, as applicable, of not less than “A-” (or its equivalent), or such lower claims paying ability rating and/or financial strength rating, as applicable, as Lender shall, in its reasonable discretion (taking into account then current Rating Agency guidelines), consent to, from a Rating Agency (one of which after a Securitization in which Standard & Poor’s rates any securities issued in connection with such Securitization, shall be Standard & Poor’s).  Originals or certified copies of all insurance policies shall be delivered to and held by Lender.  All such policies (except policies for worker’s compensation) shall name Lender, its successors and/or assigns as an additional named insured, with respect to the insurance required pursuant to Section 3.01(a)(iii) above, shall provide for loss payable to Lender, its successors

61




and/or assigns and shall contain (or have attached):  (i) standard “non-contributory mortgagee” endorsement or its equivalent relating, inter alia, to recovery by Lender notwithstanding the negligent or willful acts or omissions of Borrower; (ii) a waiver of subrogation endorsement as to Lender; (iii) an endorsement indicating that neither Lender nor Borrower shall be or be deemed to be a co-insurer with respect to any casualty risk insured by such policies and shall provide for a deductible per loss of an amount not more than the lesser of (x) that which is customarily maintained by owners of similar properties similarly situated and (y) $250,000 or, with respect to the deductible under any insurance against losses resulting from windstorms, 5% of the values at risk or, with respect to the deductible under any insurance against losses resulting from earthquake, 5% of the values at risk, and (iv) a provision that such policies shall not be canceled, terminated, denied renewal or amended, including, without limitation, any amendment reducing the scope or limits of coverage, without at least thirty (30) days’ prior written notice to Lender in each instance.  Not less than thirty (30) days prior to the expiration dates of the insurance policies obtained pursuant to this Security Instrument, originals or certified copies of renewals of such policies (or certificates evidencing such renewals) bearing notations evidencing the payment of premiums or accompanied by other reasonable evidence of such payment (which premiums shall not be paid by Borrower through or by any financing arrangement which would entitle an insurer to terminate a policy; provided, however, premiums for the insurance required pursuant to Section 3.01(a)(i) may be paid quarterly in advance or as otherwise reasonably acceptable to Lender, it being acknowledged that paying the premium for such policies by financing the same, paying twenty percent (20%) of the total annual premium (inclusive of finance charges) at the time of the applicable policy renewal and paying the remaining eighty percent (80%) of the total annual premium (inclusive of finance charges) in nine (9) equal monthly installments is acceptable to Lender) shall be delivered by Borrower to Lender.  Borrower shall not carry separate insurance, concurrent in kind or form or contributing in the event of loss, with any insurance required under this Article III.

(b)           If Borrower fails to maintain and deliver to Lender the original policies or certificates of insurance required by this Security Instrument, or if there are insufficient funds in the Basic Carrying Costs Escrow Account to pay the premiums for same, Lender may, at its option, procure such insurance, and Borrower shall pay, or as the case may be, reimburse Lender for, all premiums thereon promptly, upon demand by Lender, with interest thereon at the Default Rate from the date paid by Lender to the date of repayment and such sum shall constitute a part of the Debt.

(c)           Borrower shall notify Lender of the renewal premium of each insurance policy and Lender shall be entitled to pay such amount on behalf of Borrower from the Basic Carrying Costs Escrow Account in accordance with the financing schedule of the payments for such premiums, if any, or, if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, in full or such other manner as Lender may elect.  With respect to insurance policies which require periodic payments (i.e., monthly or quarterly) of premiums, Lender shall be entitled to pay such amounts ten (10) days (or such lesser number of days as Lender shall determine) prior to the respective due dates of such installments.

62




(d)           The insurance required by this Security Instrument may, at the option of Borrower, be effected by blanket and/or umbrella policies issued to Borrower covering the Property provided that, in each case, the policies otherwise comply with the provisions of this Security Instrument and allocate to the Property, from time to time (but in no event less than once a year), the coverage specified by this Security Instrument, without possibility of reduction or coinsurance by reason of damage to any other property (real or personal) named therein.  If the insurance required by this Security Instrument shall be effected by any such blanket or umbrella policies, Borrower shall furnish to Lender (i) original policies or certified copies thereof, or an original certificate of insurance together with reasonable access to the original of such policy to review such policy’s coverage of the Property, with schedules attached thereto showing the amount of the insurance provided under such policies applicable to the Property and (ii) an Officer’s Certificate setting forth (A) the number of properties covered by such policy, (B) the location by city (if available, otherwise, county) and state of the properties, (C) the average square footage of the properties, (D) a brief description of the typical construction type included in the blanket policy and (E) such other information as Lender may reasonably request.

the word “Condominium” shall mean any condominium which includes the Property as a part thereof, which was created pursuant to the Condominium Act.

Section 3.03.  Assignment of Policies.  (a) Borrower hereby assigns to Lender the proceeds of all insurance (other than worker’s compensation and liability insurance) obtained pursuant to this Security Instrument, all of which proceeds shall be payable to Lender as collateral and further security for the payment of the Debt and the performance of Borrower’s obligations hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, and Borrower hereby authorizes and directs the issuer of any such insurance to make payment of such proceeds directly to Lender.  Except as otherwise expressly provided in Section 3.04 or elsewhere in this Article III, Lender shall have the option, in its discretion, and without regard to the adequacy of its security, to apply all or any part of the proceeds it may receive pursuant to this Article in such manner as Lender may elect to any one or more of the following:  (i) the payment of the Debt, whether or not then due, in accordance with the provisions of the Note, (ii) the repair or restoration of the Property, (iii) the cure of any Default or (iv) the reimbursement of the costs and expenses of Lender incurred pursuant to the terms hereof in connection with the recovery of the Insurance Proceeds.  Subject to Section 15.03(a), nothing herein contained shall be deemed to excuse Borrower from repairing or maintaining the Property as provided in this Security Instrument or restoring all damage or destruction to the Property, regardless of the sufficiency of the Insurance Proceeds, and the application or release by Lender of any Insurance Proceeds shall not cure or waive any Default or notice of Default.

(b)           In the event of the foreclosure of this Security Instrument or any other transfer of title or assignment of all or any part of the Property in extinguishment, in whole or in part, of the Debt, all right, title and interest of Borrower in and to all policies of insurance required by this Security Instrument shall inure to the benefit of the successor in interest to Borrower or the purchaser of the Property (it being acknowledged that the policy required pursuant to Section 3.01(a)(ii) hereof shall not be required to be assigned to Lender).  If, prior to the receipt by Lender of any proceeds, the Property or any portion thereof shall have been sold on foreclosure of this Security Instrument or by deed in lieu thereof or otherwise, or any claim under such insurance policy arising during the term of this Security Instrument is not paid until after the extinguishment of the Debt, and Lender shall not have received the entire amount of the Debt outstanding at the time of such extinguishment, whether or not a deficiency judgment on this Security Instrument shall have been sought or recovered or denied, then, the proceeds of any such insurance to the extent of the amount of the Debt not so received, shall be paid to and be the property of Lender, together with interest thereon at the Default Rate, and the reasonable attorney’s fees, costs and disbursements incurred by Lender in connection with the collection of the proceeds which shall be paid to Lender and Borrower hereby assigns, transfers and sets over to Lender all of Borrower’s right, title and interest in and to such proceeds.  Notwithstanding any provisions of this Security Instrument to the contrary, Lender shall not be deemed to be a trustee or other fiduciary with respect to its receipt of any such proceeds, which may be commingled with any other monies of Lender; provided, however, that Lender shall use such proceeds for the purposes and in the manner permitted by this Security Instrument.  Any proceeds deposited with Lender shall be held by Lender in an interest-bearing account, but Lender makes no representation or warranty as to the rate or amount of interest, if any, which may accrue on such

64




deposit and shall have no liability in connection therewith.  Interest accrued, if any, on the proceeds shall be deemed to constitute a part of the proceeds for purposes of this Security Instrument.  The provisions of this Section 3.03(b) shall survive the termination of this Security Instrument by foreclosure, deed in lieu thereof or otherwise as a consequence of the exercise of the rights and remedies of Lender hereunder after a Default.

Section 3.04.  Casualty Restoration.  (a) (i) In the event of any damage to or destruction of the Property, Borrower shall give prompt written notice to Lender (which notice shall set forth Borrower’s good faith estimate of the cost of repairing or restoring such damage or destruction, or if Borrower cannot reasonably estimate the anticipated cost of restoration, Borrower shall nonetheless give Lender prompt notice of the occurrence of such damage or destruction, and will diligently proceed to obtain estimates to enable Borrower to quantify the anticipated cost and time required for such restoration, whereupon Borrower shall promptly notify Lender of such good faith estimate) and, provided that restoration does not violate any Legal Requirements, Borrower shall promptly commence and diligently prosecute to completion the repair, restoration or rebuilding of the Property so damaged or destroyed to a condition such that the Property shall be at least equal in value to that immediately prior to the damage to the extent practicable, in full compliance with all Legal Requirements and the provisions of all Leases, and in accordance with Section 3.04(b) below.  Such repair, restoration or rebuilding of the Property including, without limitation, preparation of plans and specifications in connection therewith, and also including the repair and replacement of furniture, fixtures and equipment, are sometimes hereinafter collectively referred to as the “Work”.

(ii)           Borrower shall not adjust, compromise or settle any claim for Insurance Proceeds without the prior written consent of Lender, which shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed and Lender shall have the right, at Borrower’s sole cost and expense, to participate in any settlement or adjustment of Insurance Proceeds; provided, however, that, except during the continuance of an Event of Default, Lender’s consent shall not be required with respect to the adjustment, compromising or settlement of any claim for Insurance Proceeds in an amount less than $250,000.

(iii)          Subject to Section 3.04(a)(iv), Lender shall apply any Insurance Proceeds which it may receive towards the Work in accordance with Section 3.04(b) and the other applicable sections of this Article III.

(iv)          If (A) an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, (B) Lender is not reasonably satisfied that the Debt Service Coverage, after substantial completion of the Work, will be at least equal to the Required Debt Service Coverage, (C) more than thirty percent (30%) of the reasonably estimated fair market value of the Property is damaged or destroyed, (D) Lender is not reasonably satisfied that the Work can be completed six (6) months prior to Maturity or (E) Lender is not reasonably satisfied that the Work can be completed within twelve (12) months of the damage to or destruction of the Property (each, a “Substantial Casualty”), Lender shall have the option, in its sole discretion to apply any Insurance Proceeds it may receive pursuant to this Security Instrument (less any cost to Lender of recovering and paying out such proceeds incurred pursuant to the terms hereof and not otherwise reimbursed to

65




Lender, including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses) to the payment of the Debt, without any prepayment fee or charge of any kind, or to allow such proceeds to be used for the Work pursuant to the terms and subject to the conditions of Section 3.04(b) hereof and the other applicable sections of this Article III.

(v)           In the event that Lender elects or is obligated hereunder to allow Insurance Proceeds to be used for the Work, any excess proceeds remaining after completion of such Work shall be applied to the payment of the Debt without any prepayment fee or charge of any kind.

(b)           If any Condemnation Proceeds in accordance with Section 6.01(a), or any Insurance Proceeds in accordance with Section 3.04(a), are to be applied to the repair, restoration or rebuilding of the Property, then such Condemnation Proceeds or Insurance Proceeds shall be deposited into a segregated interest-bearing bank account at the Bank, which shall be an Eligible Account, held by Lender and shall be paid out from time to time to Borrower as the Work progresses (less any cost to Lender of recovering and paying out such proceeds, including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs allocable to inspecting the Work and the plans and specifications therefor) subject to Section 5.13 hereof and to all of the following conditions:

(i)            An Independent architect or engineer selected by Borrower and reasonably acceptable to Lender (an “Architect” or “Engineer”) or a Person otherwise reasonably acceptable to Lender, shall have delivered to Lender a certificate estimating the cost of completing the Work, and, if the amount set forth therein is more than the sum of the amount of Insurance Proceeds then being held by Lender in connection with a casualty and amounts agreed to be paid as part of a final settlement under the insurance policy upon or before completion of the Work, Borrower shall have delivered to Lender (A) cash collateral in an amount equal to such excess, (B) an unconditional, irrevocable, clean sight draft letter of credit, in form, substance and issued by a bank reasonably acceptable to Lender, in the amount of such excess and draws on such letter of credit shall be made by Lender to make payments pursuant to this Article III following exhaustion of the Insurance Proceeds or Condemnation Proceeds, as applicable, therefor or (C) a completion bond in form, substance and issued by a surety company reasonably acceptable to Lender.

(ii)           If the cost of the Work is reasonably estimated by an Architect or Engineer in a certification reasonably acceptable to Lender to be equal to or exceed five percent (5%) of the Loan Amount, such Work shall be performed under the supervision of an Architect or Engineer, it being understood that the plans and specifications with respect thereto shall provide for Work so that, upon completion thereof, the Property shall be at least equal in replacement value and general utility to the Property prior to the damage or destruction.

(iii)          Each request for payment shall be made on not less than ten (10) days’ prior notice to Lender and shall be accompanied by a certificate of an Architect or Engineer, or, if the Work is not required to be supervised by an Architect or Engineer, by an Officer’s Certificate stating (A) that payment is for Work completed in material

66




compliance with the plans and specifications, if required under clause (ii) above, (B) that the sum requested is required to reimburse Borrower for payments by Borrower to date, or is due to the contractors, subcontractors, materialmen, laborers, engineers, architects or other Persons rendering services or materials for the Work (giving a brief description of such services and materials), and that when added to all sums previously paid out by Lender does not exceed the value of the Work done to the date of such certificate, (C) if the sum requested is to cover payment relating to repair and restoration of personal property required or relating to the Property, that title to the personal property items covered by the request for payment is vested in Borrower (unless Borrower is lessee of such personal property), and (D) that the Insurance Proceeds and/or letters of credit, completion and similar bonds, each of which is satisfactory to Lender in its reasonable discretion, and other amounts deposited by Borrower held by Lender after such payment is more than the estimated remaining cost to complete such Work; provided, however, that if such certificate is given by an Architect or Engineer, such Architect or Engineer shall certify as to clause (A) above, and such Officer’s Certificate shall certify as to the remaining clauses above, and provided, further, that Lender shall not be obligated to disburse such funds if Lender determines, in Lender’s reasonable discretion, that Borrower shall not be in compliance with this Section 3.04(b).  Additionally, each request for payment shall contain a statement signed by Borrower stating that the requested payment is for Work completed to date.

(iv)          Each request for payment shall be accompanied by waivers of lien, in customary form and substance, covering that part of the Work for which payment or reimbursement is being requested and, if required by Lender, a search prepared by a title company or licensed abstractor, or by other evidence reasonably satisfactory to Lender that there has not been filed with respect to the Property any mechanic’s or other lien or instrument for retention of title relating to any part of the Work not discharged of record.  Additionally, as to any personal property covered by the request for payment, Lender shall be furnished with evidence of Borrower having incurred a payment obligation therefor and such further evidence reasonably satisfactory to assure Lender that UCC filings therefor provide a valid first lien on the personal property.

(v)           Lender shall have the right to inspect the Work at all reasonable times upon reasonable prior notice and may condition any disbursement of Insurance Proceeds upon satisfactory compliance by Borrower with the provisions hereof.  Neither the approval by Lender of any required plans and specifications for the Work nor the inspection by Lender of the Work shall make Lender responsible for the preparation of such plans and specifications, or the compliance of such plans and specifications of the Work, with any applicable law, regulation, ordinance, covenant or agreement.

(vi)          Insurance Proceeds shall not be disbursed more frequently than once every thirty (30) days.

(vii)         Until such time as the Work has been substantially completed, Lender shall not be obligated to disburse up to ten percent (10%) of the cost of the Work (the

67




Retention Amount”) to Borrower.  Upon substantial completion of the Work, Borrower shall send notice thereof to Lender and, subject to the conditions of Section 3.04(b)(i)-(iv), Lender shall disburse one-half of the Retention Amount to Borrower; provided, however, that the remaining one-half of the Retention Amount shall be disbursed to Borrower when Lender shall have received copies of any and all certificates of occupancy or other certificates, licenses and permits required for the ownership, occupancy and operation of the Property in accordance with all Legal Requirements.  Borrower hereby covenants to diligently seek to obtain any such certificates, licenses and permits.

(viii)        Upon failure on the part of Borrower promptly after a casualty or Taking to commence the Work or to proceed diligently and continuously to completion of the Work, which failure shall continue after notice for thirty (30) days, Lender may apply any Insurance Proceeds or Condemnation Proceeds it then or thereafter holds to the payment of the Debt in accordance with the provisions of the Note; provided, however, that Lender shall be entitled to apply at any time all or any portion of the Insurance Proceeds or Condemnation Proceeds it then holds to the extent necessary to cure any Event of Default.

(c)           If Borrower (i) within one hundred twenty (120) days after the occurrence of any damage to the Property or any portion thereof shall fail to submit to Lender for approval plans and specifications for the Work (approved by the Architect and by all Governmental Authorities whose approval is required), (ii) after any such plans and specifications are approved by all Governmental Authorities, the Architect and Lender, shall fail to promptly commence such Work after a casualty or Taking or (iii) shall fail to diligently prosecute such Work to completion, then, in addition to all other rights available hereunder, at law or in equity, Lender, or any receiver of the Property or any portion thereof, upon five (5) days’ prior notice to Borrower (except in the event of emergency in which case no notice shall be required), may (but shall have no obligation to) perform or cause to be performed such Work, and may take such other steps as it reasonably deems advisable.  Borrower hereby waives, for Borrower, any claim, other than for gross negligence or willful misconduct, against Lender and any receiver arising out of any act or omission of Lender or such receiver pursuant hereto, and Lender may apply all or any portion of the Insurance Proceeds (without the need to fulfill any other requirements of this Section 3.04) to reimburse Lender and such receiver, for all costs not reimbursed to Lender or such receiver upon demand together with interest thereon at the Default Rate from the date such amounts are advanced until the same are paid to Lender or the receiver.

(d)           Borrower hereby irrevocably appoints Lender as its attorney-in-fact, coupled with an interest, to collect and receive any Insurance Proceeds paid with respect to any portion of the Property or the insurance policies required to be maintained hereunder, and to endorse any checks, drafts or other instruments representing any Insurance Proceeds whether payable by reason of loss thereunder or otherwise.

Section 3.05.  Compliance with Insurance Requirements.  Borrower promptly shall comply with, and shall cause the Property to comply with, all Insurance Requirements, even if

68




such compliance requires structural changes or improvements or would result in interference with the use or enjoyment of the Property or any portion thereof provided Borrower shall have a right to contest in good faith and with diligence such Insurance Requirements provided (a) no Event of Default shall exist during such contest and such contest shall not subject the Property or any portion thereof to any lien or affect the priority of the lien of this Security Instrument, (b) failure to comply with such Insurance Requirements will not subject Lender or any of its agents, employees, officers or directors to any civil or criminal liability, (c) such contest will not cause any reduction in insurance coverage, (d) such contest shall not affect the ownership, use or occupancy of the Property, (e) the Property or any part thereof or any interest therein shall not be in any danger of being sold, forfeited or lost by reason of such contest by Borrower, (f) Borrower has given Lender prompt notice of such contest and, upon request by Lender from time to time, notice of the status of such contest by Borrower and/or information of the continuing satisfaction of the conditions set forth in clauses (a) through (e) of this Section 3.05, (g) upon a final determination of such contest, Borrower shall promptly comply with the requirements thereof, and (h) prior to and during such contest, Borrower shall furnish to Lender security satisfactory to Lender, in its reasonable discretion, against loss or injury by reason of such contest or the non-compliance with such Insurance Requirement (and if such security is cash, Lender shall deposit the same in an interest-bearing account and interest accrued thereon, if any, shall be deemed to constitute a part of such security for purposes of this Security Instrument, but Lender (i) makes no representation or warranty as to the rate or amount of interest, if any, which may accrue thereon and shall have no liability in connection therewith and (ii) shall not be deemed to be a trustee or fiduciary with respect to its receipt of any such security and any such security may be commingled with other monies of Lender).  If Borrower shall use the Property or any portion thereof in any manner which could permit the insurer to cancel any insurance required to be provided hereunder, Borrower immediately shall obtain a substitute policy which shall satisfy the requirements of this Security Instrument and which shall be effective on or prior to the date on which any such other insurance policy shall be canceled.  Borrower shall not by any action or omission invalidate any insurance policy required to be carried hereunder unless such policy is replaced as aforesaid, or materially increase the premiums on any such policy above the normal premium charged for such policy.  Borrower shall cooperate with Lender in obtaining for Lender the benefits of any Insurance Proceeds lawfully or equitably payable to Lender in connection with the transaction contemplated hereby.

Section 3.06.  Event of Default During Restoration.   Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Security Instrument including, without limitation, the provisions of this Article III, if, at the time of any casualty affecting the Property or any part thereof, or at any time during any Work, or at any time that Lender is holding or is entitled to receive any Insurance Proceeds pursuant to this Security Instrument, a Default exists and is continuing (whether or not it constitutes an Event of Default), Lender shall then have no obligation to make such proceeds available for Work and Lender shall have the right and option, to be exercised in its sole and absolute discretion and election, with respect to the Insurance Proceeds, either to retain and apply such proceeds in reimbursement for the actual costs, fees and expenses incurred by Lender in accordance with the terms hereof in connection with the adjustment of the loss and any balance toward payment of the Debt in such priority and proportions as Lender, in its sole discretion, shall deem proper, or towards the Work, upon such terms and conditions as Lender shall

69




determine, or to cure an Event of Default, or to any one or more of the foregoing as Lender, in its sole and absolute discretion, may determine.  If Lender shall receive and retain such Insurance Proceeds, the lien of this Security Instrument shall be reduced only by the amount thereof received, after reimbursement to Lender of expenses of collection, and actually applied by Lender in reduction of the principal sum payable under the Note in accordance with the Note.

Section 3.07.  Application of Proceeds to Debt Reduction.  (a) No damage to the Property, or any part thereof, by fire or other casualty whatsoever, whether such damage be partial or total, shall relieve Borrower from its liability to pay in full the Debt and to perform its obligations under this Security Instrument and the other Loan Documents.

(b)           If any Insurance Proceeds are applied to reduce the Debt, Lender shall apply the same in accordance with the provisions of the Note.

ARTICLE IV:  IMPOSITIONS

(b)           Borrower shall, prior to the date upon which any fine, penalty, interest or cost for the nonpayment is imposed, pay or cause to be paid all charges for electricity, power, gas, water and other services and utilities in connection with the Property, and shall, upon request, deliver to Lender receipts or other documentation reasonably satisfactory to Lender evidencing payment thereof.  If Borrower shall fail to pay any amount required to be paid by Borrower pursuant to this Section 4.01 and is not contesting such charges in accordance with Section 4.04 hereof, Lender shall have the right, but shall not be obligated, to pay that amount, and Borrower will repay to Lender, on demand, any amount paid by Lender with interest thereon at the Default Rate from the date of the advance thereof to the date of repayment, and such amount shall constitute a portion of the Debt secured by this Security Instrument.

(c)           Borrower shall pay all taxes, charges, filing, registration and recording fees, excises and levies imposed upon Lender by reason of or in connection with its ownership of any Loan Document or any other instrument related thereto, or resulting from the execution, delivery and recording of, or the lien created by, or the obligation evidenced by, any of them, other than income, franchise and other similar taxes imposed on Lender and shall pay all corporate stamp

Section 4.02.  Deduction from Value.  In the event of the passage after the date of this Security Instrument of any Legal Requirement deducting from the value of the Property for the purpose of taxation, any lien thereon or changing in any way the Legal Requirements now in force for the taxation of this Security Instrument and/or the Debt for federal, state or local purposes, or the manner of the operation of any such taxes so as to adversely affect the interest of Lender, or imposing any tax or other charge on any Loan Document, then Borrower will pay such tax, with interest and penalties thereon, if any, within the statutory period.  In the event the payment of such tax or interest and penalties by Borrower would be unlawful, or taxable to Lender or unenforceable or provide the basis for a defense of usury, then in any such event, Lender shall have the option, by written notice of not less than thirty (30) days, to declare the Debt immediately due and payable, with no prepayment fee or charge of any kind.

Section 4.03.  No Joint Assessment.  Borrower shall not consent to or initiate the joint assessment of the Premises or the Improvements (a) with any other real property constituting a separate tax lot and Borrower represents and covenants that the Premises and the Improvements are and shall remain a separate tax lot or lots separate from other real property that is not a part of the Premises, or (b) with any portion of the Property which may be deemed to constitute personal property, or any other procedure whereby the lien of any taxes which may be levied against such personal property shall be assessed or levied or charged to the Property as a single lien.

Section 4.04.  Right to Contest.  Borrower shall have the right, after prior notice to Lender, at its sole expense, to contest by appropriate legal proceedings diligently conducted in good faith, without cost or expense to Lender or any of its agents, employees, officers or directors, the validity, amount or application of any Imposition or any charge described in Section 4.01(b), provided that (a) no Event of Default shall exist during such proceedings and such contest shall not (unless Borrower shall comply with clause (d) of this Section 4.04) subject the Property or any portion thereof to any lien or affect the priority of the lien of this Security Instrument, (b) failure to pay such Imposition or charge will not subject Lender or any of its agents, employees, officers or directors to any civil or criminal liability, (c) the contest suspends enforcement of the Imposition or charge (unless Borrower first pays the Imposition or charge), (d) prior to and during such contest, Borrower shall furnish to Lender security satisfactory to Lender, in its reasonable discretion, against loss or injury by reason of such contest or the non-payment of such Imposition or charge (and if such security is cash, Lender may deposit the same in an interest-bearing account and interest accrued thereon, if any, shall be deemed to constitute a part of such security for purposes of this Security Instrument, but Lender (i) makes no

71




representation or warranty as to the rate or amount of interest, if any, which may accrue thereon and shall have no liability in connection therewith other than with respect to Lender’s gross negligence or willful misconduct and (ii) shall not be deemed to be a trustee or fiduciary with respect to its receipt of any such security and any such security may be commingled with other monies of Lender), (e) such contest shall not affect the ownership, use or occupancy of the Property, (f) the Property or any part thereof or any interest therein shall not be in any danger of being sold, forfeited or lost by reason of such contest by Borrower, (g) Borrower has given Lender notice of the commencement of such contest and upon request by Lender, from time to time, notice of the status of such contest by Borrower and/or confirmation of the continuing satisfaction of clauses (a) through (f) of this Section 4.04, and (h) upon a final determination of such contest, Borrower shall promptly comply with the requirements thereof.  Upon completion of any contest, Borrower shall immediately pay the amount due, if any, and deliver to Lender proof of the completion of the contest and payment of the amount due, if any, following which Lender shall return the security, if any, deposited with Lender pursuant to clause (d) of this Section 4.04.  Borrower shall not pay any Imposition in installments unless permitted by applicable Legal Requirements or the applicable Governmental Authority, and shall, upon the request of Lender, deliver copies of all notices and bills relating to any Imposition or other charge covered by this Article IV to Lender.

Section 4.05.  No Credits on Account of the Debt.  Borrower will not claim or demand or be entitled to any credit or credits on account of the Debt for any part of the Impositions assessed against the Property or any part thereof and no deduction shall otherwise be made or claimed from the taxable value of the Property, or any part thereof, by reason of this Security Instrument or the Debt.  In the event such claim, credit or deduction shall be required by Legal Requirements, Lender shall have the option, by written notice of not less than thirty (30) days, to declare the Debt immediately due and payable, and Borrower hereby agrees to pay such amounts not later than thirty (30) days after such notice.

Section 4.06.  Documentary Stamps.  If, at any time, the United States of America, any State or Commonwealth thereof or any subdivision of any such State shall require revenue or other stamps to be affixed to the Note, this Security Instrument or any other Loan Document, or impose any other tax or charges on the same, Borrower will pay the same, with interest and penalties thereon, if any.

Section 5.06.  Payment of Basic Carrying Costs.  Borrower hereby agrees to pay all Basic Carrying Costs (without regard to the amount of money in the Basic Carrying Costs Sub-Account or the Basic Carrying Costs Escrow Account).  At least ten (10) Business Days prior to the due date of any Basic Carrying Costs, and not more frequently than once each month, Borrower may notify Lender in writing and request that Lender pay such Basic Carrying Costs on behalf of Borrower on or prior to the due date thereof, and, provided that no Event of Default has occurred and that there are sufficient funds available in the Basic Carrying Costs Escrow Account, Lender shall make such payments out of the Basic Carrying Costs Escrow Account before same shall be delinquent.  Together with each such request, Borrower shall furnish Lender with bills and all other documents necessary, as reasonably determined by Lender, for the payment of the Basic Carrying Costs which are the subject of such request. Borrower’s obligation to pay (or cause Lender to pay) Basic Carrying Costs pursuant to this Security Instrument shall include, to the extent permitted by applicable law, Impositions resulting from future changes in law which impose upon Lender an obligation to pay any property taxes or other Impositions or which otherwise adversely affect Lender’s interests.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that Lender receives a tax bill directly from a Governmental Authority relating to any Impositions, Lender shall pay all sums due thereunder prior to the date such Impositions would accrue late charges or interest thereon or within ten (10) Business Days of the receipt of such tax bill, whichever is later.  In making any payment of Impositions, Lender may rely on any bill, statement or estimate obtained from the applicable Governmental Authority without inquiry into the accuracy of such bill, statement or estimate or into the validity of any Imposition or claim with respect thereto.

Provided that no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, all funds deposited into the Basic Carrying Costs Escrow Account shall be held by Lender pursuant to the provisions of this Security Instrument and shall be applied in payment of Basic Carrying Costs in accordance with the terms hereof.  Should an Event of Default occur and be continuing, the sums on deposit in the Basic Carrying Costs Sub-Account and the Basic Carrying Costs Escrow Account may be applied by Lender in payment of any Basic Carrying Costs or may be applied to the payment of the Debt or any other charges affecting all or any portion of the Property as Lender in its sole discretion may determine; provided, however, that no such application shall be

76




deemed to have been made by operation of law or otherwise until actually made by Lender as herein provided.

Section 5.07.  SAOT Escrow Account.  Borrower agrees to pay all SAOT Expenditures (without regard to the amount of money then available in the SAOT Sub-Account or the SAOT Escrow Account).  Lender will, at Lender’s option, either, (a) apply funds in the SAOT Escrow Account to payments of SAOT Expenditures required to be made by Borrower to the appropriate Governmental Authorities, provided that Borrower has promptly supplied Lender with notices of all SAOT Expenditures due or has certified to Lender that such funds are required to make payments of SAOT Expenditures required to be made by Borrower, (b) reimburse Borrower for such amounts upon presentation of evidence of payment by Borrower of such SAOT Expenditures or (c) release to Borrower funds in the SAOT Escrow Account for payment of SAOT Expenditures required to be made by Borrower to the appropriate Governmental Authorities, provided that Borrower has promptly supplied Lender with notices of all SAOT Expenditures due or has certified to Lender that such funds will be used to make payments of SAOT Expenditures required to be made by Borrower.

Provided that no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, all funds deposited into the SAOT Escrow Account shall be held by Lender pursuant to the provisions of this Security Instrument and shall be disbursed to Borrower for payment of SAOT Expenditures.  Should an Event of Default occur, the sums on deposit in the SAOT Sub-Account and the SAOT Escrow Account may be applied by Lender in payment of any SAOT Expenditures.

Section 5.08.  Recurring Replacement Reserve Escrow Account.  Borrower hereby agrees to pay all Recurring Replacement Expenditures with respect to the Property (without regard to the amount of money then available in the Recurring Replacement Reserve Sub-Account or the Recurring Replacement Reserve Escrow Account).  Provided that Lender has received written notice from Borrower and not more frequently than once each month, and further provided that no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, that there are sufficient funds available in the Recurring Replacement Reserve Escrow Account and Borrower shall have theretofore furnished Lender with lien waivers, copies of bills, invoices and other reasonable documentation as may be required by Lender to establish that the Recurring Replacement Expenditures which are the subject of such request represent amounts due for completed or partially completed capital work and improvements performed at the Property, Lender shall make such payments out of the Recurring Replacement Reserve Escrow Account or shall reimburse Borrower out of the Recurring Replacement Reserve Escrow Account if Borrower delivers to Lender evidence satisfactory to Lender evidencing prior payment for the Recurring Replacement Expenditures which are the subject of the draw request or an Officer’s Certificate certifying that the funds will be used to pay for the Recurring Replacement Expenditures which are the subject of the draw request together with evidence reasonably satisfactory to Lender evidencing payment in full for all Recurring Replacement Expenditures which were the subject of prior draw requests with respect to which Borrower did not deliver such proof.

Provided that no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, all funds deposited into the Recurring Replacement Reserve Escrow Account shall be held by Lender

77




pursuant to the provisions of this Security Instrument and shall be applied in payment of Recurring Replacement Expenditures.  Should an Event of Default occur and be continuing, the sums on deposit in the Recurring Replacement Reserve Sub-Account and the Recurring Replacement Reserve Escrow Account may be applied by Lender in payment of any Recurring Replacement Expenditures or may be applied to the payment of the Debt or any other charges affecting all or any portion of the Property, as Lender in its sole discretion may determine; provided, however, that no such application shall be deemed to have been made by operation of law or otherwise until actually made by Lender as herein provided.

Section 5.09.  Operation and Maintenance Expense Escrow Account.  Borrower hereby agrees to pay all Operating Expenses with respect to the Property (without regard to the amount of money then available in the Operation and Maintenance Expense Sub-Account or the Operation and Maintenance Expense Escrow Account).  All funds allocated to the Operation and Maintenance Expense Escrow Account shall be held by Lender pursuant to the provisions of this Security Instrument.  Provided no O&M Operative Period has occurred and is continuing, either (a) Lender shall disburse to Borrower from the Operation and Maintenance Expense Escrow Account on each Payment Date an amount equal to (i) the Operating Expenses set forth in the Approved Annual Budget for such month provided for in the Approved Annual Budget plus (ii) the Third Party Disbursements which have been substantiated in a manner reasonably acceptable to Lender and (iii) any Extraordinary Expenses for which sums have been deposited into the Operation and Maintenance Expense Escrow Account pursuant to Section 5.05 hereof ((i), (ii) and (iii) are hereinafter referred to as an “Operating Expense Disbursement”) or (b) if requested by Borrower and if sufficient funds have been collected in the Central Account to make the payments required under clauses (i) - (iv) of Section 5.05(a) hereof on the next succeeding Payment Date, Borrower shall be entitled to request disbursements from the Operation and Maintenance Expense Escrow Account on a weekly basis, for payment of the Operating Expense Disbursement incurred or to be incurred during the then-current Interest Accrual Period or during any prior Interest Accrual Period.  During the continuance of an O&M Operative Period, Lender shall disburse funds held in the Operation and Maintenance Expense Escrow Account to Borrower on a weekly basis, within ten (10) days after delivery by Borrower to Lender of a request therefor, in increments of at least $1,000, provided (a) such disbursement is for the Operating Expense Disbursement; and (b) such disbursement is accompanied by (i) an Officer’s Certificate provided monthly certifying (A) that such funds will be used to pay Operating Expenses set forth in the Approved Annual Budget and a description thereof, (B) that all outstanding trade payables (other than those to be paid from the requested disbursement or those permitted pursuant to Section 2.02(g)(viii)(C) hereof) have been paid in full, (C) that the same has not been the subject of a previous disbursement, and (D) that all previous disbursements have been or will be used to pay the previously identified Operating Expenses set forth in the Approved Annual Budget, and (B) reasonably detailed documentation satisfactory to Lender as to the amount, necessity and purpose therefor.  Should an Event of Default occur and be continuing, the sums on deposit in the Operation and Maintenance Expense Sub-Account or the Operation and Maintenance Expense Escrow Account may be applied by Lender in payment of any Operating Expenses for the Property or may be applied to the payment of the Debt or any other charges affecting all or any portion of the Property as Lender, in its sole discretion, may determine; provided, however, that no such application shall be deemed to have been made by

78




operation of law or otherwise until actually made by Lender as herein provided.  During any O&M Operative Period, the management fee payable to Manager shall be limited to 4% per annum of the total revenues of the Property and shall not include the 2.5% Allocable Chain Expense (as defined in the Management Agreement).  Failure to pay such 2.5% Allocable Chain Expense shall not be a default under the Management Agreement.

Section 5.10.  Rate Cap Agreement.  Borrower shall at all times during the term of the Loan maintain the Rate Cap Agreement at all times during the term of the Loan which shall be in form and substance and issued by a bank reasonably acceptable to Lender, and shall pay all fees, charges and expenses incurred in connection therewith.  Borrower shall comply with all of its obligations under the terms of the Rate Cap Agreement.  All amounts paid by the issuer of the Rate Cap Agreement (the “Counterparty”) to Borrower or Lender shall be deposited immediately into the Central Account.  Borrower shall take all actions reasonably requested by Lender to enforce Lender’s rights under the Rate Cap Agreement in the event of a default by the Counterparty.  In the event that (a) the long-term unsecured debt obligations of the Counterparty are downgraded by the Rating Agency below “A+” or its equivalent or (b) the Counterparty shall default in any of its obligations under the Rate Cap Agreement, Borrower shall, at the request of Lender, promptly but in all events within thirty (30) days, replace the Rate Cap Agreement with an agreement having identical payment terms and maturity as the Rate Cap Agreement and which is otherwise in form and substance substantially similar to the Rate Cap Agreement and otherwise acceptable to Lender with a cap provider, the long-term unsecured debt of which is rated at least “AA-” (or its equivalent) by each Rating Agency, or which will allow each Rating Agency to reaffirm their then current ratings of all rated certificates issued in connection with the Securitization.  In the event that Borrower fails to maintain the Rate Cap Agreement as provided in this Section 5.10, Lender may purchase the Rate Cap Agreement and the cost incurred by Lender in connection therewith shall be paid by Borrower to Lender with interest thereon at the Default Rate from the date such cost is incurred until such cost is paid by Borrower to Lender.

Section 5.11.  Curtailment Reserve Escrow Account.  Funds deposited into the Curtailment Reserve Escrow Account shall be held by Lender in the Curtailment Reserve Escrow Account as additional security for the Loan until the Loan has been paid in full; provided, that whenever, from time to time, the Debt Service Coverage exceeds 1.10:1.0 for two (2) consecutive calendar quarters, Lender shall, promptly upon written request from Borrower, release all sums contained in the Curtailment Reserve Escrow Account to Borrower.  In the event the Debt Service Coverage is 1.05:1.0 or lower for one or more calendar quarters, Lender may, in its sole discretion, apply any sums in the Curtailment Reserve Escrow Account to the Debt, without any prepayment fee or charge of any kind.  Should an Event of Default occur and be continuing, the sums on deposit in the Curtailment Reserve Sub-Account and the Curtailment Reserve Escrow Account may be applied by Lender to the payment of the Debt or other charges affecting all or any portion of the Property, as Lender, in its sole discretion, may determine; provided, however, that no such application shall be deemed to have been made by operation of law or otherwise until actually made by Lender as herein provided.

Section 5.12.  Performance of Engineering Work.  Borrower shall promptly commence and diligently thereafter pursue to completion the Required Work prior to the twelve (12) month

79




anniversary of the Closing Date.  After Borrower completes an item of Required Work, Borrower shall deliver to Lender lien waivers and a statement from the Engineer, reasonably acceptable to Lender, indicating that the portion of the Required Work has been completed in accordance with Legal Requirements.

Section 5.13.  Loss Proceeds.  In the event of a casualty to the Property, unless Lender elects, or is required pursuant to Article III hereof to make all of the Insurance Proceeds available to Borrower for restoration, Lender and Borrower shall cause all such Insurance Proceeds to be paid by the insurer directly to the Central Account, whereupon Lender shall, after deducting Lender’s costs of recovering and paying out such Insurance Proceeds, including without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees, apply the same to reduce the Debt in accordance with the terms of the Note; provided, however, that if Lender elects, or is deemed to have elected, to make the Insurance Proceeds available for restoration, all Insurance Proceeds in respect of rent loss, business interruption or similar coverage shall be maintained in the Central Account, to be applied by Lender in the same manner as Rent received with respect to the operation of the Property; provided, further, however, that in the event that the Insurance Proceeds with respect to such rent loss, business interruption or similar insurance policy are paid in a lump sum in advance, Lender shall hold such Insurance Proceeds in a segregated interest-bearing escrow account, which shall be an Eligible Account, shall estimate, in Lender’s reasonable discretion, the number of months required for Borrower to restore the damage caused by the casualty, shall divide the aggregate rent loss, business interruption or similar Insurance Proceeds by such number of months, and shall disburse from such bank account into the Central Account each month during the performance of such restoration such monthly installment of said Insurance Proceeds.  In the event that Insurance Proceeds are to be applied toward restoration, Lender shall hold such funds in a segregated bank account at the Bank, which shall be an Eligible Account, and shall disburse same in accordance with the provisions of Section 3.04 hereof.  Unless Lender elects, or is required pursuant to Section 6.01 hereof to make all of the Condemnation Proceeds available to Borrower for restoration, Lender and Borrower shall cause all such Condemnation Proceeds to be paid to the Central Account, whereupon Lender shall, after deducting Lender’s costs of recovering and paying out such Condemnation Proceeds, including without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees, apply same to reduce the Debt in accordance with the terms of the Note; provided, however, that any Condemnation Proceeds received in connection with a temporary Taking shall be maintained in the Central Account, to be applied by Lender in the same manner as Rent received with respect to the operation of the Property; provided, further, however, that in the event that the Condemnation Proceeds of any such temporary Taking are paid in a lump sum in advance, Lender shall hold such Condemnation Proceeds in a segregated interest-bearing bank account, which shall be an Eligible Account, shall estimate, in Lender’s reasonable discretion, the number of months that the Property shall be affected by such temporary Taking, shall divide the aggregate Condemnation Proceeds in connection with such temporary Taking by such number of months, and shall disburse from such bank account into the Central Account each month during the pendency of such temporary Taking such monthly installment of said Condemnation Proceeds.  In the event that Condemnation Proceeds are to be applied toward restoration, Lender shall hold such funds in a segregated bank account at the Bank, which shall be an Eligible Account, and shall disburse same in accordance with the provisions of Section 3.04 hereof.  If any Loss Proceeds are

80




received by Borrower, such Loss Proceeds shall be received in trust for Lender, shall be segregated from other funds of Borrower, and shall be forthwith paid into the Central Account, or paid to Lender to hold in a segregated bank account at the Bank, in each case to be applied or disbursed in accordance with the foregoing.  Any Loss Proceeds made available to Borrower for restoration in accordance herewith, to the extent not used by Borrower in connection with, or to the extent they exceed the cost of, such restoration, shall be deposited into the Central Account, whereupon Lender shall apply the same to reduce the Debt in accordance with the terms of the Note.

Section 5.14.  Mez Payment Escrow Account. Provided that no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, on each Payment Date during which the Mez Loan is outstanding, Lender shall transfer to the holder of the Mez Loan which is most senior in priority, as identified in writing by a joint direction executed by Borrower and the holder of such Mez Loan, an amount equal to the Mez Payment Amount (which sum shall be deemed distributions from Borrower to the borrower under such Mez Loan).  Should an Event of Default occur and be continuing, the sums on deposit in the Mez Payment Escrow Account may be applied by Lender to the payment of the Debt or any other charges affecting all or any portion of the Property, as Lender in its sole discretion may determine; provided, however, that no such application shall be deemed to have been made by operation of law or otherwise until actually made by Lender as herein provided.

ARTICLE VI:  CONDEMNATION

Section 6.01.  Condemnation.  (a)  Borrower shall notify Lender promptly of the commencement or threat of any Taking of the Property or any portion thereof.  Lender is hereby irrevocably appointed as Borrower’s attorney-in-fact, coupled with an interest, with exclusive power to collect, receive and retain the proceeds of any such Taking as to which Borrower is or may be entitled and to make any compromise or settlement in connection with such proceedings (subject to Borrower’s reasonable approval, except after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, in which event Borrower’s approval shall not be required), subject to the provisions of this Security Instrument; provided, however, that Borrower may participate in any such proceedings (without regard to the extent of the Taking) and Borrower shall be authorized and entitled to compromise or settle any such proceeding with respect to Condemnation Proceeds in an amount less than five percent (5%) of the Loan Amount.  Borrower shall execute and deliver to Lender any and all instruments reasonably required in connection with any such proceeding promptly after request therefor by Lender.  Except as set forth above, Borrower shall not adjust, compromise, settle or enter into any agreement with respect to such proceedings without the prior consent of Lender.  All Condemnation Proceeds are hereby assigned to and shall be paid to Lender to be applied in accordance with the terms hereof.  With respect to Condemnation Proceeds in an amount in excess of five percent (5%) of the Loan Amount, Borrower hereby authorizes Lender to compromise, settle, collect and receive such Condemnation Proceeds, and to give proper receipts and acquittance therefor.  Subject to the provisions of this Article VI, Lender may apply such Condemnation Proceeds (less any cost to Lender of recovering and paying out such proceeds, including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements and costs allocable to inspecting any repair, restoration or

81




rebuilding work and the plans and specifications therefor) toward the payment of the Debt or to allow such proceeds to be used for the Work.

(b)           Substantial Taking” shall mean (i) a Taking of such portion of the Property that would, in Lender’s reasonable discretion, leave remaining a balance of the Property which would not under then current economic conditions, applicable Development Laws and other applicable Legal Requirements, permit the restoration of the Property so as to constitute a complete, rentable facility of the same type as existed prior to the Taking, having adequate ingress and egress to the Property, capable of producing a projected Net Operating Income (as reasonably determined by Lender) yielding a projected Debt Service Coverage therefrom for the next two (2) years of not less than the Required Debt Service Coverage or (ii) a Taking which Lender is not reasonably satisfied could be repaired within twelve (12) months and at least six (6) months prior to the Maturity Date or (iii) a Taking of fifteen percent (15%) or more of the Premises.

(c)           In the case of a Substantial Taking, Condemnation Proceeds shall be payable to Lender in reduction of the Debt but without any prepayment fee or charge of any kind and, if Borrower elects to apply any Condemnation Proceeds it may receive pursuant to this Security Instrument to the payment of the Debt, Borrower may prepay the balance of the Debt without any prepayment fee or charge of any kind.

(d)           In the event of a Taking which is less than a Substantial Taking, Borrower at its sole cost and expense (whether or not the award shall have been received or shall be sufficient for restoration) shall proceed diligently to restore, or cause the restoration of, the remaining Improvements not so taken, to maintain a complete, rentable, self-contained fully operational facility of the same sort as existed prior to the Taking in as good a condition as is reasonably possible.  In the event of such a Taking, Lender shall receive the Condemnation Proceeds and shall pay over the same:

(i)            first, provided no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, to Borrower to the extent of any portion of the award as may be necessary to pay the reasonable cost of restoration of the Improvements remaining, and

(ii)           second, to Lender, in reduction of the Debt without any prepayment premium or charge of any kind.

If one or more Takings in the aggregate create a Substantial Taking, then, in such event, the sections of this Article VI above applicable to Substantial Takings shall apply.

(e)           In the event Lender is obligated to or elects to make Condemnation Proceeds available for the restoration or rebuilding of the Property, such proceeds shall be disbursed in the manner and subject to the conditions set forth in Section 3.04(b) hereof.  If, in accordance with this Article VI, any Condemnation Proceeds are used to reduce the Debt, they shall be applied in accordance with the provisions of the Note and, with no prepayment fee or charge of any kind.  Borrower shall promptly upon request by Lender execute and deliver all instruments requested by Lender for the purpose of confirming the assignment of the Condemnation Proceeds to Lender.  Application of all or any part of the Condemnation Proceeds to the Debt shall be made

82




in accordance with the provisions of Sections 3.06 and 3.07 hereof.  No application of the Condemnation Proceeds to the reduction of the Debt shall have the effect of releasing the lien of this Security Instrument until the remainder of the Debt has been paid in full.  In the case of any Taking, Lender, to the extent that Lender has not been reimbursed by Borrower, shall be entitled, as a first priority out of any Condemnation Proceeds, to reimbursement for all costs, fees and expenses reasonably incurred in the determination and collection of any Condemnation Proceeds.  All Condemnation Proceeds deposited with Lender pursuant to this Section, until expended or applied as provided herein, shall be held in accordance with Section 3.04(b) hereof and shall constitute additional security for the payment of the Debt and the payment and performance of Borrower’s obligations, but Lender shall not be deemed a trustee or other fiduciary with respect to its receipt of such Condemnation Proceeds or any part thereof.  All awards so deposited with Lender shall be held by Lender in an Eligible Account, but Lender makes no representation or warranty as to the rate or amount of interest, if any, which may accrue on any such deposit and shall have no liability in connection therewith other than with respect to Lender’s gross negligence or willful misconduct.  For purposes hereof, any reference to the award shall be deemed to include interest, if any, which has accrued thereon.

ARTICLE VII:  LEASES AND RENTS

Section 7.01.  Assignment.  (a) Borrower does hereby bargain, sell, assign and set over unto Lender, all of Borrower’s interest in the Leases and Rents.  The assignment of Leases and Rents in this Section 7.01 is an absolute, unconditional and present assignment from Borrower to Lender and not an assignment for security and the existence or exercise of Borrower’s revocable license to collect Rent shall not operate to subordinate this assignment to any subsequent assignment.  The exercise by Lender of any of its rights or remedies pursuant to this Section 7.01 shall not be deemed to make Lender a mortgagee-in-possession.  In addition to the provisions of this Article VII, Borrower shall comply with all terms, provisions and conditions of the Assignment.

(b)           So long as there shall exist and be continuing no Event of Default, Borrower shall have a revocable license to take all actions with respect to all Leases and Rents, present and future, including the right to collect and use the Rents, subject to the terms of this Security Instrument and the Assignment.

(c)           In a separate instrument Borrower shall, as requested from time to time by Lender, assign to Lender or its nominee by specific or general assignment, any and all Leases, such assignments to be in form and content reasonably acceptable to Lender, but subject to the provisions of Section 7.01(b) hereof.  Borrower agrees to deliver to Lender, within thirty (30) days after Lender’s request, a true and complete copy of every Lease and, within ten (10) Business Days after Lender’s request, a complete list of the Leases, certified by Borrower to be true, accurate and complete and stating the demised premises, the names of the lessees, the Rent payable under the Leases, the date to which such Rents have been paid, the material terms of the Leases, including, without limitation, the dates of occupancy, the dates of expiration, any Rent concessions, work obligations or other inducements granted to the lessees thereunder, and any renewal options.

83




(d)           The rights of Lender contained in this Article VII, the Assignment or any other assignment of any Lease shall not result in any obligation or liability of Lender to Borrower or any lessee under a Lease or any party claiming through any such lessee.

(e)           At any time after and during the continuance of an Event of Default, the license granted hereinabove may be revoked by Lender, and Lender or a receiver appointed in accordance with this Security Instrument may enter upon the Property, and collect, retain and apply the Rents toward payment of the Debt in such priority and proportions as Lender in its sole discretion shall deem proper.

(f)            In addition to the rights which Lender may have herein, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, Lender, at its option, may require Borrower to pay monthly in advance to Lender, or any receiver appointed to collect the Rents, the fair and reasonable rental value for the use and occupation of such part of the Property as may be used and occupied by Borrower and may require Borrower to vacate and surrender possession of the Property to Lender or to such receiver and, in default thereof, Borrower may be evicted by summary proceedings or otherwise.

Section 7.02.  Management of Property.  (a) Borrower shall manage the Property or cause the Property to be managed in a manner which is consistent with the Approved Manager Standard.  All Space Leases shall provide for rental rates comparable to then existing local market rates and terms and conditions which constitute good and prudent business practice and are consistent with prevailing market terms and conditions, and shall be arms-length transactions.  All Leases shall provide that they are subordinate to this Security Instrument and that the lessees thereunder attorn to Lender.  Borrower shall deliver copies of all Leases, amendments, modifications and renewals thereof to Lender. All proposed Leases for the Property shall be subject to the prior written approval of Lender (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed), provided, however that Borrower may enter into new leases with unrelated third parties without obtaining the prior consent of Lender provided that: (i) the proposed tenant is unrelated to a tenant under an existing Lease; (ii) the proposed leases conform with the requirements of this Section 7.02; (iii) the space to be leased pursuant to such proposed lease does not exceed 5,000 square feet; and (iv) the term of the proposed lease inclusive of all extensions and renewals, does not exceed five (5) years.

(b)           Borrower (i) shall observe and perform all of its material obligations under the Leases pursuant to applicable Legal Requirements and shall not do or permit to be done anything to impair the value of the Leases as security for the Debt; (ii) shall promptly send copies to Lender of all notices of default which Borrower shall receive under the Leases; (iii) shall, consistent with the Approved Manager Standard, enforce all of the material terms, covenants and conditions contained in the Leases to be observed or performed; (iv) shall not collect any of the Rents under the Leases more than one (1) month in advance (except that Borrower may collect in advance such security deposits as are permitted pursuant to applicable Legal Requirements and are commercially reasonable in the prevailing market); (v) shall not execute any other assignment of lessor’s interest in the Leases or the Rents except as otherwise expressly permitted pursuant to this Security Instrument; (vi) shall not cancel or terminate any of the Leases or accept

84

(d)           Borrower pays Lender, concurrently with the closing of any conveyance of the Property in its entirety or a direct or indirect interest in Borrower of 75% or more (in the aggregate whether in one or a series of transactions but without including more than once one or more transfers of the same interest) of the direct or indirect interest in Borrower, a non-refundable assumption fee in an amount equal to one percent (1%) of the then outstanding Loan Amount (which fee shall be waived in the event of a Transfer of the type set forth in clause (y) of Section 9.04(c)(i)) together with all out-of-pocket costs and expenses, including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees, incurred by Lender in connection with the Sale;

(e)           In the event the applicable Transfer will result in Borrower no longer owning the Property, Buyer assumes all of the obligations under the Loan Documents and, prior to or concurrently with the closing of such Sale, Buyer executes, without any cost or expense to Lender, such documents and agreements as Lender shall reasonably require to evidence and effectuate said assumption and delivers such legal opinions as Lender may reasonably require;

(f)            In the event the applicable Transfer will result in Borrower no longer owning the Property, Borrower and Buyer execute, without any cost or expense to Lender, new financing statements or financing statement amendments and any additional documents reasonably requested by Lender;

(i)            In the event the applicable Transfer will result in Borrower no longer owning the Property, subject to the provisions of Section 18.32 hereof, such Sale does not relieve Borrower of any personal liability under the Note or any of the other Loan Documents for any acts or

91




events occurring or obligations arising prior to or simultaneously with the closing of such Sale, and Borrower executes, without any cost or expense to Lender, such documents and agreements as Lender shall reasonably require to evidence and effectuate the ratification of said personal liability;

(j)            In the event the applicable Transfer will result in Borrower no longer owning the Property, such Sale does not relieve any Guarantor of its obligations under any guaranty or indemnity agreement executed in connection with the Loan and each such Guarantor executes, without any cost or expense to Lender, such documents and agreements as Lender shall reasonably require to evidence and effectuate the ratification of each such guaranty agreement, provided that if Buyer or a party associated with Buyer approved by Lender in its reasonable discretion assumes the obligations of the current Guarantor under its guaranty and Buyer or such party associated with Buyer, as applicable, executes, without any cost or expense to Lender, a new guaranty in similar form and substance to the existing guaranty and otherwise satisfactory to Lender, then Lender shall release the current Guarantor from all obligations arising under its guaranty after the closing of such Sale; and

99




then due; or (vi) sell the Property or any part thereof and any or all estate, claim, demand, right, title and interest of Borrower therein and rights of redemption thereof, pursuant to power of sale or otherwise, at one or more sales, in whole or in parcels, in any order or manner, at such time and place, upon such terms and after such notice thereof as may be required or permitted by law, at the discretion of Lender, and in the event of a sale, by foreclosure or otherwise, of less than all of the Property, this Security Instrument shall continue as a lien on the remaining portion of the Property; or (vii) institute an action, suit or proceeding in equity for the specific performance of any covenant, condition or agreement contained in the Loan Documents, or any of them; or (viii) recover judgment on the Note or any guaranty either before, during or after (or in lieu of) any proceedings for the enforcement of this Security Instrument; or (ix) apply, ex parte, for the appointment of a custodian, trustee, receiver, keeper, liquidator or conservator of the Property or any part thereof, irrespective of the adequacy of the security for the Debt and without regard to the solvency of Borrower or of any Person liable for the payment of the Debt, to which appointment Borrower does hereby consent and such receiver or other official shall have all rights and powers permitted by applicable law and such other rights and powers as the court making such appointment may confer, but the appointment of such receiver or other official shall not impair or in any manner prejudice the rights of Lender to receive the Rent with respect to any of the Property pursuant to this Security Instrument or the Assignment; or (x) require, at Lender’s option, Borrower to pay monthly in advance to Lender, or any receiver appointed to collect the Rents, the fair and reasonable rental value for the use and occupation of any portion of the Property occupied by Borrower and may require Borrower to vacate and surrender possession to Lender of the Property or to such receiver and Borrower may be evicted by summary proceedings or otherwise; or (xi) without notice to Borrower (A) apply all or any portion of the cash collateral in any Sub-Account and Escrow Account, including any interest and/or earnings therein, to carry out the obligations of Borrower under this Security Instrument and the other Loan Documents, to protect and preserve the Property and for any other purpose permitted under this Security Instrument and the other Loan Documents and/or (B) have all or any portion of such cash collateral immediately paid to Lender to be applied against the Debt in the order and priority set forth in the Note; or (xii) pursue any or all such other rights or remedies as Lender may have under applicable law or in equity; provided, however, that the provisions of this Section 13.02(a) shall not be construed to extend or modify any of the notice requirements or grace periods provided for hereunder or under any of the other Loan Documents.  Borrower hereby waives, to the fullest extent permitted by Legal Requirements, any defense Borrower might otherwise raise or have by the failure to make any tenants parties defendant to a foreclosure proceeding and to foreclose their rights in any proceeding instituted by Lender.

(b)           To the extent not prohibited by law, any time after and during the continuance of an Event of Default Lender shall have the power to sell the Property or any part thereof at public auction, in such manner, at such time and place, upon such terms and conditions, and upon such public notice as Lender may deem best for the interest of Lender, or as may be required or permitted by applicable law, consisting of advertisement in a newspaper of general circulation in the jurisdiction and for such period as applicable law may require and at such other times and by such other methods, if any, as may be required by law to convey the Property in fee simple with respect to all portions of the Fee Premises by Lender’s deed with special warranty of title and, with respect to the Leasehold Premises, by an assignment of the Ground Lease, to and at the cost

100




of the purchaser, who shall not be liable to see to the application of the purchase money.  The proceeds or avails of any sale made under or by virtue of this Section 13.02, together with any other sums which then may be held by Lender under this Security Instrument, whether under the provisions of this Section 13.02 or otherwise, shall be applied as follows:

First:  To the payment of the third-party costs and expenses reasonably incurred in connection with any such sale and to advances, fees and expenses, including, without limitation, reasonable fees and expenses of Lender’s legal counsel as applicable, and of any judicial proceedings wherein the same may be made, and of all expenses, liabilities and advances reasonably made or incurred by Lender under this Security Instrument, together with interest as provided herein on all such advances made by Lender, and all Impositions, except any Impositions or other charges subject to which the Property shall have been sold;

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

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

Fourth:  The surplus, if any, to Borrower unless otherwise required by Legal Requirements.

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

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

(d)           Upon the completion of any sale or sales made by Lender under or by virtue of this Section 13.02, Lender, or any officer of any court empowered to do so, shall execute and deliver to the accepted purchaser or purchasers a good and sufficient instrument, or good and sufficient instruments, granting, conveying, assigning and transferring all estate, right, title and interest in and to the property and rights sold.  Lender is hereby irrevocably appointed the true and lawful attorney-in-fact of Borrower (coupled with an interest), in its name and stead, to make all necessary conveyances, assignments, transfers and deliveries of the property and rights so sold and for that purpose Lender may execute all necessary instruments of conveyance, assignment, transfer and delivery, and may substitute one or more Persons with like power, Borrower hereby ratifying and confirming all that its said attorney-in-fact or such substitute or substitutes shall lawfully do by virtue hereof.  Nevertheless, Borrower, if so requested by Lender,

101




shall ratify and confirm any such sale or sales by executing and delivering to Lender, or to such purchaser or purchasers all such instruments as may be advisable, in the sole judgement of Lender, for such purpose, and as may be designated in such request.  Any such sale or sales made under or by virtue of this Section 13.02, whether made under the power of sale herein granted or under or by virtue of judicial proceedings or a judgment or decree of foreclosure and sale, shall operate to divest all the estate, right, title, interest, claim and demand whatsoever, whether at law or in equity, of Borrower in and to the property and rights so sold, and shall, to the fullest extent permitted under Legal Requirements, be a perpetual bar, both at law and in equity against Borrower and against any and all Persons claiming or who may claim the same, or any part thereof, from, through or under Borrower.

(e)           In the event of any sale made under or by virtue of this Section 13.02 (whether made under the power of sale herein granted or under or by virtue of judicial proceedings or a judgment or decree of foreclosure and sale), the entire Debt immediately thereupon shall, anything in the Loan Documents to the contrary notwithstanding, become due and payable.

(f)            Upon any sale made under or by virtue of this Section 13.02 (whether made under the power of sale herein granted or under or by virtue of judicial proceedings or a judgment or decree of foreclosure and sale), Lender may bid for and acquire the Property or any part thereof and in lieu of paying cash therefor may make settlement for the purchase price by crediting upon the Debt the net sales price after deducting therefrom the expenses of the sale and the costs of the action.

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

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

Section 13.03.  Payment of Debt After Default.  If, following the occurrence of any Event of Default, Borrower shall tender payment of an amount sufficient to satisfy the Debt in whole or in part at any time prior to a foreclosure sale of the Property, and if at the time of such tender prepayment of the principal balance of the Note is not permitted by the Note or this Security Instrument, Borrower shall, in addition to the entire Debt, also pay to Lender a sum equal to interest which would have accrued on the principal balance of the Note at an interest rate equal

102




to the LIBOR Margin for the Note plus the greater of (x) the then current LIBOR Rate and (y) the then current average yield for “This Week” as published by the Federal Reserve Board during the most recent full week preceding the date on which Borrower tenders such payment in Federal Reserve Statistical Release H.15 (519) for instruments having a ten (10) year maturity, from the date of such tender to the earlier of (a) the Maturity Date or (b) the first day of the period during which prepayment of the principal balance of the Note would have been permitted together with a prepayment consideration equal to the prepayment consideration which would have been payable as of the first day of the period during which prepayment would have been permitted.  If at the time of such tender, prepayment of the principal balance of the Note is permitted, such tender by Borrower shall be deemed to be a voluntary prepayment of the principal balance of the Note and Borrower shall, in addition to the entire Debt, also pay to Lender the applicable prepayment consideration specified in the Note and this Security Instrument.

Section 13.04.  Possession of the Property.  Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default and the acceleration of the Debt or any portion thereof, Borrower, if an occupant of the Property or any part thereof, upon demand of Lender, shall immediately surrender possession of the Property (or the portion thereof so occupied) to Lender, and if Borrower is permitted to remain in possession, the possession shall be as a month-to-month tenant of Lender and, on demand, Borrower shall pay to Lender monthly, in advance, a reasonable rental for the space so occupied and in default thereof Borrower may be dispossessed.  The covenants herein contained may be enforced by a receiver of the Property or any part thereof.  Nothing in this Section 13.04 shall be deemed to be a waiver of the provisions of this Security Instrument making the Transfer of the Property or any part thereof without Lender’s prior written consent an Event of Default.

Section 13.05.  Interest After Default.  If any amount due under the Note, this Security Instrument or any of the other Loan Documents is not paid within any applicable notice and grace period after same is due, whether such date is the stated due date, any accelerated due date or any other date or at any other time specified under any of the terms hereof or thereof, then, in such event, Borrower shall pay interest on the amount not so paid from and after the date on which such amount first becomes due at the Default Rate; and such interest shall be due and payable at such rate until the earlier of the cure of all Events of Default or the payment of the entire amount due to Lender, whether or not any action shall have been taken or proceeding commenced to recover the same or to foreclose this Security Instrument.  All unpaid and accrued interest shall be secured by this Security Instrument as part of the Debt.  Nothing in this Section 13.05 or in any other provision of this Security Instrument shall constitute an extension of the time for payment of the Debt.

Section 13.06.  Borrower’s Actions After Default.  Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default and immediately upon the commencement of any action, suit or other legal proceedings by Lender to obtain judgment for the Debt, or of any other nature in aid of the enforcement of the Loan Documents, Borrower will (a) after receipt of notice of the institution of any such action, waive the issuance and service of process and enter its voluntary appearance in such action, suit or proceeding, and (b) if required by Lender, consent to the

103




appointment of a receiver or receivers of the Property or any part thereof and of all the earnings, revenues, rents, issues, profits and income thereof.

Section 13.07.  Control by Lender After Default.  Notwithstanding the appointment of any custodian, receiver, liquidator or trustee of Borrower, or of any of its property, or of the Property or any part thereof, to the extent permitted by Legal Requirements, Lender shall be entitled to obtain possession and control of all property now and hereafter covered by this Security Instrument and the Assignment in accordance with the terms hereof.

Section 13.08.  Right to Cure Defaults.  (a) Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, Lender or its agents may, but without any obligation to do so and without notice to or demand on Borrower and without releasing Borrower from any obligation hereunder, make or do the same in such manner and to such extent as Lender may deem necessary to protect the security hereof.  Lender and its agents are authorized to enter upon the Property or any part thereof for such purposes, or appear in, defend, or bring any action or proceedings to protect Lender’s interest in the Property or any part thereof or to foreclose this Security Instrument or collect the Debt, and the cost and expense thereof (including reasonable attorneys’ fees to the extent permitted by law), with interest as provided in this Section 13.08, shall constitute a portion of the Debt and shall be immediately due and payable to Lender upon demand.  All such costs and expenses incurred by Lender or its agents in remedying such Event of Default or in appearing in, defending, or bringing any such action or proceeding shall bear interest at the Default Rate, for the period from the date so demanded to the date of payment to Lender.  All such costs and expenses incurred by Lender or its agents together with interest thereon calculated at the above rate shall be deemed to constitute a portion of the Debt and be secured by this Security Instrument.

(b)           If Lender makes any payment or advance that Lender is authorized by this Security Instrument to make in the place and stead of Borrower (i) relating to the Impositions or tax liens asserted against the Property, Lender may do so according to any bill, statement or estimate procured from the appropriate public office without inquiry into the accuracy of the bill, statement or estimate or into the validity of any of the Impositions or the tax liens or claims thereof; (ii) relating to any apparent or threatened adverse title, lien, claim of lien, encumbrance, claim or charge, Lender will be the sole judge of the legality or validity of same; or (iii) relating to any other purpose authorized by this Security Instrument but not enumerated in this Section 13.08, Lender may do so whenever, in its judgment and discretion, the payment or advance seems necessary or desirable to protect the Property and the full security interest intended to be created by this Security Instrument.  In connection with any payment or advance made pursuant to this Section 13.08, Lender has the option and is authorized, but in no event shall be obligated, to obtain a continuation report of title prepared by a title insurance company.  The payments and the advances made by Lender pursuant to this Section 13.08 and the cost and expenses of said title report will be due and payable by Borrower on demand, together with interest at the Default Rate, and will be secured by this Security Instrument.

Section 13.09.  Late Payment Charge.  If any portion of the Debt is not paid in full on or before the day on which it is due and payable hereunder (other than the principal portion of the

104




Debt due on the Maturity Date), Borrower shall pay to Lender an amount equal to five percent (5%) of such unpaid portion of the Debt (“Late Charge”) to defray the expense incurred by Lender in handling and processing such delinquent payment, and such amount shall constitute a part of the Debt.

Section 13.10.  Recovery of Sums Required to Be Paid.  Lender shall have the right from time to time to take action to recover any sum or sums which constitute a part of the Debt as the same become due and payable hereunder (after the expiration of any grace period or the giving of any notice herein provided, if any), without regard to whether or not the balance of the Debt shall be due, and without prejudice to the right of Lender thereafter to bring an action of foreclosure, or any other action, for a default or defaults by Borrower existing at the time such earlier action was commenced.

Section 13.11.  Marshalling and Other Matters.  Borrower hereby waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, the benefit of all appraisement, valuation, stay, extension, reinstatement, redemption (both equitable and statutory) and homestead laws now or hereafter in force and all rights of marshalling in the event of any sale hereunder of the Property or any part thereof or any interest therein.  Further, Borrower hereby expressly waives any and all rights of redemption from sale under any order or decree of foreclosure of this Security Instrument on behalf of Borrower, whether equitable or statutory and on behalf of each and every Person acquiring any interest in or title to the Property or any part thereof subsequent to the date of this Security Instrument and on behalf of all Persons to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law.

Section 13.12.  Tax Reduction Proceedings.  Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, Borrower shall be deemed to have appointed Lender as its attorney-in-fact to seek a reduction or reductions in the assessed valuation of the Property for real property tax purposes or for any other purpose and to prosecute any action or proceeding in connection therewith.  This power, being coupled with an interest, shall be irrevocable for so long as any part of the Debt remains unpaid and any Event of Default shall be continuing.

Section 13.13.  General Provisions Regarding Remedies.

(a)           Right to Terminate Proceedings.  Lender may terminate or rescind any proceeding or other action brought in connection with its exercise of the remedies provided in Section 13.02 at any time before the conclusion thereof, as determined in Lender’s sole discretion and without prejudice to Lender.

(b)           No Waiver or Release.  The failure of Lender to exercise any right, remedy or option provided in the Loan Documents shall not be deemed a waiver of such right, remedy or option or of any covenant or obligation contained in the Loan Documents.  No acceptance by Lender of any payment upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default and no payment by Lender of any payment or obligation for which Borrower is liable hereunder shall be deemed to waive or cure any Event of Default.  No sale of all or any portion of the Property, no forbearance on the part of Lender, and no extension of time for the payment of the whole or any portion of the Debt or any other indulgence given by Lender to Borrower or any other Person, shall operate to release or in any manner affect the interest of Lender in the

105




Property or the liability of Borrower to pay the Debt.  No waiver by Lender shall be effective unless it is in writing and then only to the extent specifically stated.

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

111




those rights and remedies provided elsewhere in this Security Instrument or the other Loan Documents.

Section 18.12.  Covenants Run with the Land.  All of the grants, covenants, terms, provisions and conditions herein shall run with the Premises, shall be binding upon Borrower and shall inure to the benefit of Lender, subsequent holders of this Security Instrument and their successors and assigns.  Without limitation to any provision hereof, the term “Borrower” shall include and refer to the borrower named herein, any subsequent owner of the Property, and its respective heirs, executors, legal representatives, successors and assigns.  The representations, warranties and agreements contained in this Security Instrument and the other Loan Documents are intended solely for the benefit of the parties hereto, shall confer no rights hereunder, whether legal or equitable, in any other Person and no other Person shall be entitled to rely thereon.

Section 18.13.  Applicable Law.  THIS SECURITY INSTRUMENT AND THE OBLIGATIONS ARISING HEREUNDER SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK APPLICABLE TO CONTRACTS MADE AND PERFORMED IN SUCH STATE AND ANY APPLICABLE LAW OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA.

Section 18.14.  Security Agreement.  (a) (i) This Security Instrument is both a real property mortgage, deed to secure debt or deed of trust, as applicable, and a “security agreement” within the meaning of the UCC.  The Property includes both real and personal property and all other rights and interests, whether tangible or intangible in nature, of Borrower in the Property.  This Security Instrument is filed as a fixture filing and covers goods which are or are to become fixtures on the Property.  Borrower by executing and delivering this Security Instrument has granted to Lender, as security for the Debt,  a security interest in the Property to the full extent that the Property may be subject to the UCC (said portion of the Property so subject to the UCC being called in this Section 18.14 the “Collateral”).  If an Event of Default shall occur and shall be continuing, Lender, in addition to any other rights and remedies which it may have, shall have and may exercise immediately and without demand, any and all rights and remedies granted to a secured party upon default under the UCC, including, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the right to take possession of the Collateral or any part thereof, and to take such other measures as Lender may deem necessary for the care, protection and preservation of the Collateral.  Upon request or demand of Lender following and during the continuance of an Event of Default, Borrower shall, at its expense, assemble the Collateral and make it available to Lender at a convenient place acceptable to Lender.  Borrower shall pay to Lender on demand any and all expenses, including reasonable legal expenses and attorneys’ fees, incurred or paid by Lender in protecting its interest in the Collateral and in enforcing its rights hereunder with respect to the Collateral.  Any disposition pursuant to the UCC of so much of the Collateral as may constitute personal property shall be considered commercially reasonable if made pursuant to a public sale which is advertised at least twice in a newspaper in which sheriff’s sales are advertised in the county where the Premises is located.  Any notice of sale, disposition or other intended action by Lender with respect to the Collateral given to Borrower in accordance with the provisions hereof at least ten (10) days prior to such action, shall constitute reasonable notice to Borrower.  The proceeds of any disposition of the Collateral, or any part thereof, may be

114




applied by Lender to the payment of the Debt in such priority and proportions as Lender in its discretion shall deem proper.  It is not necessary that the Collateral be present at any disposition thereof.  Lender shall have no obligation to clean-up or otherwise prepare the Collateral for disposition.

(ii)           The mention in a financing statement filed in the records normally pertaining to personal property of any portion of the Property shall not derogate from or impair in any manner the intention of this Security Instrument.  Lender hereby declares that all items of Collateral are part of the real property encumbered hereby to the fullest extent permitted by law, regardless of whether any such item is physically attached to the Improvements or whether serial numbers are used for the better identification of certain items.  Specifically, the mention in any such financing statement of any items included in the Property shall not be construed to alter, impair or impugn any rights of Lender as determined by this Security Instrument or the priority of Lender’s lien upon and security interest in the Property in the event that notice of Lender’s priority of interest as to any portion of the Property is required to be filed in accordance with the UCC to be effective against or take priority over the interest of any particular class of persons, including the federal government or any subdivision or instrumentality thereof.  No portion of the Collateral constitutes or is the proceeds of “Farm Products”, as defined in the UCC.

(iii)          If Borrower is at any time a beneficiary under a letter of credit now or hereafter issued in favor of Borrower, Borrower shall promptly notify Lender thereof and, at the request and option of Lender, Borrower shall, pursuant to an agreement in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Lender, either (A) arrange for the issuer and any confirmer of such letter of credit to consent to an assignment to Lender of the proceeds of any drawing under the letter of credit or (B) arrange for Lender to become the transferee beneficiary of the letter of credit, with Lender agreeing, in each case, that the proceeds of any drawing under the letter to credit are to be applied as provided in this Security Instrument.

(iv)          Borrower and Lender acknowledge that for the purposes of Article 9 of the UCC, the law of the State of New York shall be the law of the jurisdiction of the bank in which the Central Account is located.

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

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

(vii)         If Lender sells any of the Collateral upon credit, Borrower will be credited only with payments actually made by the purchaser, received by Lender and applied to

115




the indebtedness of Borrower.  In the event the purchaser of the Collateral fails to fully pay for the Collateral, Lender may resell the Collateral and Borrower will be credited with the proceeds of such sale.

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

Section 18.15.  Actions and Proceedings.  Lender has the right to appear in and defend any action or proceeding brought with respect to the Property in its own name or, if required by Legal Requirements or, if in Lender’s reasonable judgment, it is necessary, in the name and on behalf of Borrower, which Lender believes will adversely affect the Property or this Security Instrument and to bring any action or proceedings, in its name or in the name and on behalf of Borrower, which Lender, in its discretion, decides should be brought to protect its interest in the Property.

Section 18.16.  Usury Laws.  This Security Instrument and the Note are subject to the express condition, and it is the expressed intent of the parties, that at no time shall Borrower be obligated or required to pay interest on the principal balance due under the Note at a rate which could subject the holder of the Note to either civil or criminal liability as a result of being in excess of the maximum interest rate which Borrower is permitted by law to contract or agree to pay.  If by the terms of this Security Instrument or the Note, Borrower is at any time required or obligated to pay interest on the principal balance due under the Note at a rate in excess of such maximum rate, such rate of interest shall be deemed to be immediately reduced to such maximum rate and the interest payable shall be computed at such maximum rate and all prior interest payments in excess of such maximum rate shall be applied and shall be deemed to have been payments in reduction of the principal balance of the Note.  No application to the principal balance of the Note pursuant to this Section 18.16 shall give rise to any requirement to pay any prepayment fee or charge of any kind due hereunder, if any.

Section 18.17.  Remedies of Borrower.  In the event that a claim or adjudication is made that Lender has acted unreasonably or unreasonably delayed acting in any case where by law or under the Note, this Security Instrument or the Loan Documents, it has an obligation to act reasonably or promptly, Lender shall not be liable for any monetary damages, and Borrower’s remedies shall be limited to injunctive relief or declaratory judgment.

Section 18.18.  Offsets, Counterclaims and Defenses.  Any assignee of this Security Instrument, the Assignment and the Note shall take the same free and clear of all offsets, counterclaims or defenses which are unrelated to the Note, the Assignment or this Security Instrument which Borrower may otherwise have against any assignor of this Security Instrument, the Assignment and the Note and no such unrelated counterclaim or defense shall be interposed or asserted by Borrower in any action or proceeding brought by any such assignee upon this Security Instrument, the Assignment or the Note and any such right to interpose or assert any such unrelated offset, counterclaim or defense in any such action or proceeding is hereby expressly waived by Borrower.

116




Section 18.19.  No Merger.  If Borrower’s and Lender’s estates become the same including, without limitation, upon the delivery of a deed by Borrower in lieu of a foreclosure sale, or upon a purchase of the Property by Lender in a foreclosure sale, this Security Instrument and the lien created hereby shall not be destroyed or terminated by the application of the doctrine of merger and in such event Lender shall continue to have and enjoy all of the rights and privileges of Lender as to the separate estates; and, as a consequence thereof, upon the foreclosure of the lien created by this Security Instrument, any Leases or subleases then existing and created by Borrower shall not be destroyed or terminated by application of the law of merger or as a result of such foreclosure unless Lender or any purchaser at any such foreclosure sale shall so elect.  No act by or on behalf of Lender or any such purchaser shall constitute a termination of any Lease or sublease unless Lender or such purchaser shall give written notice thereof to such lessee or sublessee.

Section 18.20.  Restoration of Rights.  In case Lender shall have proceeded to enforce any right under this Security Instrument by foreclosure sale, entry or otherwise, and such proceedings shall have been discontinued or abandoned for any reason or shall have been determined adversely, then, in every such case, Borrower and Lender shall be restored to their former positions and rights hereunder with respect to the Property subject to the lien hereof.

Section 18.21.  Waiver of Statute of Limitations.  The pleadings of any statute of limitations as a defense to any and all obligations secured by this Security Instrument are hereby waived to the full extent permitted by Legal Requirements.

Section 18.22.  Advances.  This Security Instrument shall cover any and all advances made pursuant to the Loan Documents, rearrangements and renewals of the Debt and all extensions in the time of payment thereof, even though such advances, extensions or renewals be evidenced by new promissory notes or other instruments hereafter executed and irrespective of whether filed or recorded.  Likewise, the execution of this Security Instrument shall not impair or affect any other security which may be given to secure the payment of the Debt, and all such additional security shall be considered as cumulative.  The taking of additional security, execution of partial releases of the security, or any extension of time of payment of the Debt shall not diminish the force, effect or lien of this Security Instrument and shall not affect or impair the liability of Borrower and shall not affect or impair the liability of any maker, surety, or endorser for the payment of the Debt.

Section 18.23.  Application of Default Rate Not a Waiver.  Application of the Default Rate shall not be deemed to constitute a waiver of any Default or Event of Default or any rights or remedies of Lender under this Security Instrument, any other Loan Document or applicable Legal Requirements, or a consent to any extension of time for the payment or performance of any obligation with respect to which the Default Rate may be invoked.

Section 18.24.  Intervening Lien.  To the fullest extent permitted by law, any agreement hereafter made pursuant to this Security Instrument shall be superior to the rights of the holder of any intervening lien.

117




Section 18.25.  No Joint Venture or Partnership.  Borrower and Lender intend that the relationship created hereunder be solely that of mortgagor and mortgagee or grantor and beneficiary or borrower and lender, as the case may be.  Nothing herein is intended to create a joint venture, partnership, tenancy-in-common, or joint tenancy relationship between Borrower and Lender nor to grant Lender any interest in the Property other than that of mortgagee, beneficiary or lender.

Section 18.26.  Time of the Essence.  Time shall be of the essence in the performance of all obligations of Borrower hereunder.

Section 18.27.  Borrower’s Obligations Absolute.  Borrower acknowledges that Lender and/or certain Affiliates of Lender are engaged in the business of financing, owning, operating, leasing, managing, and brokering real estate and in other business ventures which may be viewed as adverse to or competitive with the business, prospect, profits, operations or condition (financial or otherwise) of Borrower.  Except as set forth to the contrary in the Loan Documents, all sums payable by Borrower hereunder shall be paid without notice or demand, counterclaim, set-off, deduction or defense and without abatement, suspension, deferment, diminution or reduction, and the obligations and liabilities of Borrower hereunder shall in no way be released, discharged, or otherwise affected (except as expressly provided herein) by reason of:  (a) any damage to or destruction of or any Taking of the Property or any portion thereof; (b) any restriction or prevention of or interference with any use of the Property or any portion thereof; (c) any title defect or encumbrance or any eviction from the Premises or any portion thereof by title paramount or otherwise; (d) any bankruptcy proceeding relating to Borrower, any General Partner, or any guarantor or indemnitor, or any action taken with respect to this Security Instrument or any other Loan Document by any trustee or receiver of Borrower or any such General Partner, guarantor or indemnitor, or by any court, in any such proceeding; (e) any claim which Borrower has or might have against Lender; (f) any default or failure on the part of Lender to perform or comply with any of the terms hereof or of any other agreement with Borrower; or (g) any other occurrence whatsoever, whether similar or dissimilar to the foregoing, whether or not Borrower shall have notice or knowledge of any of the foregoing.

Section 18.28.  Publicity.  All promotional news releases, publicity or advertising by Manager, Borrower or their respective Affiliates through any media intended to reach the general public shall not refer to the Loan Documents or the financing evidenced by the Loan Documents, or to Lender or to any of its Affiliates without the prior written approval of Lender or such Affiliate, as applicable, in each instance, such approval not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed.  Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, Borrower shall be authorized to provide information relating to the Loan Documents or the financing evidenced by the Loan Documents, or to Lender or to any of its Affiliates, to rating agencies, underwriters, potential securities investors, auditors, regulatory authorities and to any Persons which may be entitled to such information by operation of law and without limiting the foregoing to issue press releases and make Form 8-K and other securities filings containing the above-described information as it or its counsel reasonably deems required by law.  Lender shall be authorized to provide information relating to the Property, the Loan and matters relating thereto to rating agencies, underwriters, potential securities investors, auditors, regulatory authorities and to any Persons

118




which may be entitled to such information by operation of law and may use basic transaction information (including, without limitation, the name of Borrower, the name and address of the Property and the Loan Amount) in press releases or other marketing materials.

Section 18.29.  Securitization Opinions.  In the event the Loan is included as an asset of a Securitization by Lender or any of its Affiliates, Borrower shall, within fifteen (15) Business Days after Lender’s written request therefor, at Lender’s sole cost and expense, deliver opinions in form and substance and delivered by counsel reasonably acceptable to Lender and the Rating Agency, as may be reasonably required by Lender and/or the Rating Agency in connection with such securitization.  Borrower’s failure to deliver the opinions required hereby within such fifteen (15) Business Day period shall constitute an “Event of Default” hereunder.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event shall Borrower be required to deliver a “10b-5 opinion” in connection with any Securitization.

Section 18.30.  Cooperation with Rating Agencies.  Borrower covenants and agrees that in the event the Loan is to be included as an asset of a Securitization, Borrower shall (a) gather any information reasonably required by each Rating Agency in connection with such a Securitization, (b) at Lender’s request, meet with representatives of each Rating Agency to discuss the business and operations of the Property, (c) cooperate with the reasonable requests of each Rating Agency and Lender, at Borrower’s sole cost and expense with respect to the first such request made by Lender following the Closing Date and at Lender’s expense for any additional requests thereafter, in connection with all of the foregoing as well as in connection with all other matters and the preparation of any offering documents with respect thereto, including, without limitation, entering into any amendments or modifications to this Security Instrument or to any other Loan Document which may be requested by Lender to conform to Rating Agency or market standards for a Securitization; provided, that no such modification shall modify (i) the interest rate payable under the Note, (ii) the stated maturity of the Note or (iii) the principal amount of or the amortization of principal under the Note, (d) Section 18.32 hereof, (e) any other material economic term of the Loan or (f) any provision, the effect of which would increase Borrower’s obligations or decrease Borrower’s rights under the Loan Documents to more than a de minimis extent.  Borrower acknowledges that the information provided by Borrower to Lender may be incorporated into the offering documents for a Securitization and to the fullest extent permitted, Borrower irrevocably waives all rights, if any, to prohibit such disclosures including, without limitation, any right of privacy.  Lender and each Rating Agency shall be entitled to rely on the information supplied by, or on behalf of, Borrower and Borrower indemnifies and holds harmless the Indemnified Parties, their Affiliates and each Person who controls such Persons within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as same may be amended from time to time, for, from and against any claims, demands, penalties, fines, liabilities, settlements, damages, costs and expenses of whatever kind or nature, known or unknown, contingent or otherwise, whether incurred or imposed within or outside the judicial process, including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements that arise out of or are based upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of any material fact contained in such information or arise out of or are based upon the omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required

119




to be stated in such information or necessary in order to make the statements in such information, or in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading.

Section 18.31.  Securitization Financials.  Borrower covenants and agrees that, upon Lender’s written request therefor in connection with a Securitization, Borrower shall, at Lender’s sole cost and expense, promptly deliver (a) audited financial statements and related documentation prepared by an Independent certified public accountant that satisfy securities laws and requirements for use in a public registration statement (which may include up to three (3) years of historical audited financial statements) and (b) if, at the time one or more Disclosure Documents are being prepared in connection with a Securitization, Lender expects that Borrower alone or Borrower and one or more of its Affiliates collectively, or the Property alone or the Property and any other parcel(s) of real property, together with improvements thereon and personal property related thereto, that is “related”, within the meaning of the definition of Significant Obligor, to the Property (a “Related Property”) collectively, will be a Significant Obligor, Borrower shall furnish to Lender upon request (i) the selected financial data or, if applicable, net operating income, required under Item 1112(b)(1) of Regulation AB and meeting the requirements thereof, if Lender expects that the principal amount of the Loan, together with any loans made to an Affiliate of Borrower or secured by a Related Property that is included in a Securitization with the Loan (a “Related Loan”), as of the cut-off date for such Securitization may, or if the principal amount of the Loan together with any Related Loans as of the cut-off date for such Securitization and at any time during which the Loan and any Related Loans are included in a Securitization does, equal or exceed ten percent (10%) (but less than twenty percent (20%)) of the aggregate principal amount of all mortgage loans included or expected to be included, as applicable, in the Securitization or (ii) the financial statements required under Item 1112(b)(2) of Regulation AB and meeting the requirements thereof, if Lender expects that the principal amount of the Loan together with any Related Loans as of the cut-off date for such Securitization may, or if the principal amount of the Loan together with any Related Loans as of the cut-off date for such Securitization and at any time during which the Loan and any Related Loans are included in a Securitization does, equal or exceed twenty percent (20%) of the aggregate principal amount of all mortgage loans included or expected to be included, as applicable, in the Securitization.  Such financial data or financial statements shall be furnished to Lender within ten (10) Business Days after notice from Lender in connection with the preparation of Disclosure Documents for the Securitization and, with respect to the data or financial statements required pursuant to clause (b) hereof, (A) not later than thirty (30) days after the end of each fiscal quarter of Borrower and (B) not later than seventy-five (75) days after the end of each Fiscal Year; provided, however, that Borrower shall not be obligated to furnish financial data or financial statements pursuant to clauses (A) or (B) of this sentence with respect to any period for which a filing pursuant to the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 in connection with or relating to the Securitization is not required.

Section 18.32.  Exculpation.  Notwithstanding anything herein or in any other Loan Document to the contrary, except as otherwise set forth in this Section 18.32 to the contrary, Lender shall not enforce the liability and obligation of Borrower and (a) if Borrower is a partnership, its constituent partners or any of their respective partners, (b) if Borrower is a trust, its beneficiaries or any of their respective Partners (as hereinafter defined), (c) if Borrower is a

120




corporation, any of its shareholders, directors, principals, officers or employees, or (d) if Borrower is a limited liability company, any of its members and their respective legal, equitable and beneficial owner (the Persons described in the foregoing clauses (a) - (d), as the case may be, together with any direct or indirect beneficial or legal owners of such Persons, are hereinafter referred to as the “Partners”) to perform and observe the obligations contained in this Security Instrument or any of the other Loan Documents by any action or proceeding wherein a money judgment shall be sought against Borrower or the Partners, except that Lender may bring a foreclosure action, action for specific performance, or other appropriate action or proceeding (including, without limitation, an action to obtain a deficiency judgment) solely for the purpose of enabling Lender to realize upon (i) Borrower’s interest in the Property and (ii) any other collateral given to Lender under the Loan Documents (the “Default Collateral”); provided, however, that any judgment in any such action or proceeding shall be enforceable against Borrower and the Partners only to the extent of any such Default Collateral.  The provisions of this Section shall not, however, (a) impair the validity of the Debt evidenced by the Note or in any way affect or impair the lien of this Security Instrument or any of the other Loan Documents or the right of Lender to foreclose this Security Instrument following the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default; (b) impair the right of Lender to name Borrower as a party defendant in any action or suit for judicial foreclosure and sale under this Security Instrument; (c) affect the validity or enforceability of the Note, this Security Instrument, or any of the other Loan Documents, or impair the right of Lender to seek a personal judgment against Guarantor; (d) impair the right of Lender to obtain the appointment of a receiver; (e) impair the enforcement of the Assignment; (f) impair the right of Lender to bring suit for monetary judgment with respect to damages incurred by Lender resulting from fraud or intentional misrepresentation by Borrower, or any other Person in connection with this Security Instrument, the Note or the other Loan Documents, and the foregoing provisions shall not modify, diminish or discharge the liability of Borrower or the Partners with respect to same; (g) impair the right of Lender to bring suit for a monetary judgment with respect to Borrower’s misappropriation of tenant security deposits or Rent, and the foregoing provisions shall not modify, diminish or discharge the liability of Borrower or the Partners with respect to same; (h) impair the right of Lender to obtain Loss Proceeds due to Lender pursuant to this Security Instrument; (i) impair the right of Lender to enforce the provisions of Sections 2.02(g), 16.01 or 16.02, inclusive of this Security Instrument, even after repayment in full by Borrower of the Debt or to bring suit for a monetary judgment against Borrower or the Partners with respect to any obligation set forth in said Sections; (j) prevent or in any way hinder Lender from exercising, or constitute a defense, or counterclaim, or other basis for relief in respect of the exercise of, any other remedy against any or all of the collateral securing the Note as provided in the Loan Documents; (k) impair the right of Lender to bring suit for a monetary judgment with respect to damages incurred by Lender resulting from any misapplication or conversion of Loss Proceeds, and the foregoing provisions shall not modify, diminish or discharge the liability of Borrower or the Partners with respect to same; (l) impair the right of Lender to sue for, seek or demand a deficiency judgment against Borrower solely for the purpose of foreclosing the Property or any part thereof, or realizing upon the Default Collateral; provided, however, that any such deficiency judgment referred to in this clause (l) shall be enforceable against Borrower and the Partners only to the extent of any of the Default Collateral; (m) impair the ability of Lender to bring suit for a monetary judgment with respect to damages incurred by Lender resulting from arson or waste to or of the Property or

Section 18.33.  Component Notes.  Lender, at its sole cost and expense, without in any way limiting Lender’s other rights hereunder, in its sole and absolute discretion, shall have the right at any time to require Borrower to execute and deliver “component” notes (including senior and junior notes), in substitution for one (1) or both of Note A-1 and/or Note A-2, which notes may be paid in such order of priority as may be designated by Lender, provided that (a) the aggregate principal amount of such “component” notes shall equal the outstanding principal balance of the Loan immediately prior to the creation of such “component” notes, (b) the

122




weighted average interest rate of all such “component” notes shall on the date created equal the interest rate which was applicable to the Loan immediately prior to the creation of such “component” notes, (c) the debt service payments on all such “component” notes shall on the date created equal the debt service payment which was due under the Loan immediately prior to the creation of such component notes and (d) the other terms and provisions of each of the “component” notes shall be identical in substance and substantially similar in form to the Loan Documents.  Borrower shall cooperate with all reasonable requests of Lender in order to establish the “component” notes and shall execute and deliver such documents as shall reasonably be required by Lender in connection therewith, all in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Lender, including, without limitation, the severance of security documents if requested.  It shall be an Event of Default if Borrower fails to comply with any of the terms, covenants or conditions of this Section 18.33 after the expiration of fifteen (15) Business Days after notice thereof.

Section 18.34.  Reallocation of Loan Amounts.  Lender, without in any way limiting its other rights hereunder, in its sole and absolute discretion, shall have the right, at any time prior to a Securitization, to reallocate the amount of the Loan and the Mez Loan and/or adjust the interest rate rates thereon provided that (i) the aggregate principal amount of the Loan and the Mez Loan immediately following such reallocation shall equal the outstanding principal balance of the Loan and the Mez Loan immediately prior to such reallocation, and (ii) the initial weighted average interest rate of the Note and the note evidencing the Mez Loan immediately following such reallocation shall equal the weighted average interest rate which was applicable to the Note and the note evidencing the Mez Loan immediately prior to such reallocation.  Borrower shall cooperate with all reasonable requests of Lender in order to reallocate the amount of the Loan and the Mez Loan and shall execute and deliver such documents as shall reasonably be required by Lender in connection therewith, including, without limitation, amendments to the Loan Documents and the documents evidencing or securing the Mez Loan, and endorsements to the Title Policy and the UCC title insurance policy, all in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Lender, and Lender shall pay all costs and expenses in connection with such reallocation pursuant to this Section, including, without limitation, any additional title insurance and UCC insurance premiums and any additional mortgage, mortgage recording, stamp, intangible or other similar tax required to be paid by any Person under applicable Legal Requirements currently in effect in connection with the execution, delivery, recordation, filing, registration, perfection or enforcement of any amendments of the Loan Documents or the documents evidencing or securing the Mez Loan in connection with the reallocation.

Section 18.35.  Certain Matters Relating to Property Located in the State of New York.  Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary:

(a)           Borrower represents that this Security Instrument does not encumber property principally improved or to be improved by one or more structures containing in the aggregate not more than six (6) residential dwelling units.

(b)           Pursuant to Section 13 of the lien law of New York, Borrower shall receive the advances secured hereby and shall hold the right to receive such advances as a trust fund to be

123




applied first for the purpose of paying the cost of any improvement and shall apply such advances first to the payment of the cost of any such improvements on the Property before using any part of the total of the same for any other purpose.

(c)           Lender shall have all of the rights against lessees of the Property as set forth in Section 291(f) of the Real Property Law of New York.

(d)           The provisions of subsection 4 of Section 254 of the New York Real Property Law covering the insurance of buildings against loss by fire and the application of Insurance Proceeds shall not apply to this Security Instrument.  In the event of any conflict, inconsistency or ambiguity between the provisions of Article III hereof and the provisions of subsection 4 of Section 254 of the New York Real Property Law covering the insurance of buildings against loss by fire and the application of Insurance Proceeds, the provisions of Article III shall control.

(e)           (i)            In the event of any sale or transfer of the Property, or any part thereof, including any sale or transfer by reason of foreclosure of this Security Instrument or any prior or subordinate mortgage or by deed in lieu of any such foreclosure, Borrower shall timely and duly complete, execute and deliver to Lender all forms and supporting documentation required by any taxing authority to estimate and fix any tax payable by reason of such sale or transfer or recording of the deed evidencing such sale or transfer, including any New York State Real Estate Transfer Tax payable pursuant to Article 31 of the New York Tax Law and New York City Real Property Transfer Tax payable pursuant to Chapter 21, Title 11 of the New York City Administrative Code (individually, a “Transfer Tax” and collectively, the “Transfer Taxes”).

(ii)           Borrower shall pay the Transfer Taxes that may hereafter become due and payable with respect to any sale or transfer of the Property described in this Article, and in default of such payment, Lender may pay the same and the amount of such payment shall be added to the Debt secured hereby and, unless incurred in connection with a foreclosure of this Security Instrument or deed in lieu of such foreclosure, shall be secured by this Security Instrument.

(iii)          Borrower hereby irrevocably constitutes and appoints Lender as its attorney-in-fact, coupled with an interest, to prepare and deliver any questionnaire, statement, affidavit or tax return in connection with any Transfer Tax applicable to any foreclosure or deed in lieu of foreclosure described in this Article.

(iv)          Borrower shall indemnify and hold harmless Lender against (i) any and all liability incurred by Lender for the payment of any Transfer Tax with respect to any transfer of the Property by reason of foreclosure, and (ii) any and all expenses incurred by Lender in connection therewith including, without limitation, interest, penalties and attorneys’ fees.

(v)           The obligation to pay the Transfer Taxes and indemnify Lender under this Section is a personal obligation of Borrower, whether or not Borrower is personally obligated to pay the Debt secured by this Security Instrument, and shall be binding upon and enforceable against all transferees of the Premises and all successors and assigns of

124




Borrower with the same force and effect as though each of them had personally executed and delivered this Security Instrument, notwithstanding any exculpation provision in favor of Borrower with respect to the payment of any other monetary obligations under this Security Instrument.

(vi)          In the event that Borrower fails or refuses to pay a tax payable by Borrower with respect to a sale or transfer by reason of a foreclosure of this Security Instrument in accordance with this Section, the amount of the tax, any interest or penalty applicable thereto and any other amount payable pursuant to Borrower’s obligation to indemnify Lender under this Section may, at the sole option of Lender, be paid as an expense of the sale out of the proceeds of the mortgage foreclosure sale.

(vii)         The provisions of this Section shall survive any transfer and the delivery of the deed affecting such transfer.  Nothing in this Section shall be deemed to grant to Borrower any greater rights to sell, assign or otherwise transfer the Premises than are expressly provided in Article IX nor to deprive Lender of any right to refuse to consent to any transaction referred to in this Section.

(f)            The clauses and covenants contained in this Security Instrument that are construed by Section 254 of the New York Real Property Law shall be construed as provided in those sections (except as provided in Section 18.35(d) hereof and Article III hereof).  The additional clauses and covenants contained in this Security Instrument shall afford rights supplemental to and not exclusive of the rights conferred by the clauses and covenants construed by Section 254 and shall not impair, modify, alter or defeat such rights (except as provided in Section 18.35(d) hereof and Article III hereof), notwithstanding that such additional clauses and covenants may relate to the same subject matter or provide for different or additional rights in the same or similar contingencies as the clauses and covenants construed by Section 254.  The right of Lender arising under the clauses and covenants contained in this Security Instrument shall be separate, distinct and cumulative and none of them shall be in exclusion of the others.  No act of Lender shall be construed as an election to proceed under any one provision herein to the exclusion of any other provision, anything herein or otherwise to the contrary notwithstanding.  In the event of any inconsistencies between the provisions of Section 254 and the provisions of this Security Instrument, the provisions of this Security Instrument shall prevail.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Security Instrument, the maximum amount of principal indebtedness secured by this Security Instrument or which under any contingency may be secured by this Security Instrument is $217,000,000.

Section 18.36.  Assignment Upon Repayment.  At Borrower’s request, upon (a) Borrower’s prepayment or repayment of the Debt in full, whether by prepayment or otherwise and (b) payment by Borrower of Lender’s reasonable counsel fees and disbursements and other reasonable costs, if any, and provided Borrower (i) refinances the Loan through any institution other than Lender, or (ii) sells any of the Premises, and an institution other than Lender is involved in the financing of such sale, Lender shall deliver to Borrower or Borrower’s designee (x) an assignment of the Note, this Security Instrument and the other Loan Documents, without recourse, representation or warranty, together with the Note (or an affidavit of lost note) duly

125




endorsed by Lender to Borrower’s designee, or (y) a satisfaction and release of lien in respect hereof, in recordable form, as well as all appropriate UCC termination statements and the release and termination of all other security for the Loan.  Borrower shall pay all of Lender’s reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred in connection with the foregoing.

Section 18.37.  Primary Servicer.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein or in any other Loan Document, in the event that Note A-1 and Note A-2 are held by different Persons, Borrower shall be required to deal with only one Person acting on behalf of all Persons comprising Lender (the “Primary Servicer”), with respect to any consents, approvals or notices required or permitted from, or to, Lender pursuant to the Loan Documents (it being understood that the Primary Servicer may need to consult with other Persons that hold a portion of Lender’s rights and obligations under the Loan or with the Rating Agencies in connection with any such consent, approval or notice and that a so-called “special servicer” may act as such Primary Servicer).  Lender may replace such Primary Servicer with another Primary Servicer at any time in Lender’s sole discretion.  As of the date hereof, Wachovia Bank, National Association is hereby designated as the Primary Servicer and unless and until Borrower is notified by Wachovia Bank, National Association of a new Primary Servicer, Borrower shall be permitted to rely conclusively and irrevocably on such designation.

ARTICLE II.  REPRESENTATIONS, COVENANTS AND
WARRANTIES OF BORROWER

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

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

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

(iv)          In the event the applicable Transfer will result in a New Borrower owning the Collateral, Borrower pays Lender, concurrently with the closing of such Proposed Loan Assumption, a non-refundable assumption fee in an amount equal to one percent (1%) of the then outstanding Loan Amount (which fee shall be waived in the event of a Transfer of the type set forth in clause (y) of Section 2.11((b)(iii)) for each Proposed Loan Assumption, together with all out-of-pocket costs and expenses, including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees, incurred by Lender in connection with the Proposed Loan Assumption;

(ix)           In the event the applicable Transfer will result in a New Borrower owning the Collateral, subject to the provisions of Article VIII hereof, such Proposed Loan Assumption does not relieve Borrower of any personal liability under the Note or any of the other Loan

20




Documents for any acts or events occurring or obligations arising prior to or simultaneously with the closing of such Proposed Loan Assumption, and Borrower executes, without any cost or expense to Lender, such documents and agreements as Lender shall reasonably require to evidence and effectuate the ratification of said personal liability;

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

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

Section 2.22.  Admission of Lender As Shareholder, Member, Partner.  In the event that Lender forecloses on the Collateral, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Organizational Documents, the Person that acquires the Collateral in connection with such foreclosure (whether Lender, a designee or Affiliate of Lender or any other Person) shall automatically be admitted as a shareholder, member or partner of the Corporations, LLCs or Partnerships, respectively, and shall be entitled to receive all benefits and exercise all rights in connection therewith pursuant to the Organizational Documents; provided, however, that such Person (whether Lender, a designee or Affiliate of Lender or any other Person) shall have no liability for matters in connection with the Equity Interests arising or occurring, directly or

23




indirectly, prior to such Person’s becoming a shareholder, member or partner of the Corporations, LLCs or Partnerships.

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

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

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

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

24




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

(b)           Borrower shall maintain the Rate Cap Agreement at all times during the term of the Loan and pay all fees, charges and expenses incurred in connection therewith.  Borrower shall comply with all of its obligations under the terms of the Rate Cap Agreement.  All amounts paid by the Counterparty to Borrower or Lender shall be deposited immediately into the Lockbox Account.  Borrower shall take all actions reasonably requested by Lender to enforce Lender’s rights under the Rate Cap Agreement in the event of a default by the Counterparty.  In the event that (a) the long-term unsecured debt obligations of the Counterparty are downgraded by the Rating Agency below “A+” or its equivalent or (b) the Counterparty shall default in any of its

25




obligations under the Rate Cap Agreement, Borrower shall, at the request of Lender, promptly but in all events within five (5) Business Days, replace the Rate Cap Agreement with an agreement having identical payment terms and maturity as the Rate Cap Agreement and which is otherwise in form and substance substantially similar to the Rate Cap Agreement and otherwise acceptable to Lender with a cap provider, the long-term unsecured debt of which is rated at least “AA-” (or its equivalent) by each Rating Agency, or which will allow each Rating Agency to reaffirm their then current ratings of all rated certificates issued in connection with the Securitization.  In the event that Borrower fails to maintain the Rate Cap Agreement as provided in this Section, Lender may purchase the Rate Cap Agreement and the cost incurred by Lender in connection therewith shall be paid by Borrower to Lender with interest thereon at the Default Rate from the date such cost is incurred until such cost is paid by Borrower to Lender.

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

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

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

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

(b)           the right, without restricting any other rights of Lender under this Agreement (including any similar right), to restrict financing to be obtained in connection with future

26




property transactions, refinancing of any acquisition financings, and unsecured debt unless the Loan has been paid in full or as otherwise permitted hereunder;

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Section 2.30.  Insurance.  (a) The insurance described in Section 3.01 of the Mortgage and Section 2.30(c) hereof (except policies for worker’s compensation) shall be in the form

27




(other than with respect to Sections 3.01(a)(vi) and (vii) of the Mortgage when insurance in those two sub-sections is placed with a governmental agency or instrumentality on such agency’s forms) and amount and with deductibles as, from time to time, shall be reasonably acceptable to Lender, under valid and enforceable policies issued by financially responsible insurers authorized to do business in the State where the Premises is located, which shall have a claims paying ability rating and/or financial strength rating, as applicable, of not less than “A-” (or its equivalent), or such lower claims paying ability rating and/or financial strength rating, as applicable, as Lender shall, in its reasonable discretion (taking into account then current Rating Agency guidelines), consent to, from a Rating Agency (one of which after a Securitization in which Standard & Poor’s rates any securities issued in connection with such Securitization, shall be Standard & Poor’s) and Borrower shall cause Owner to carry all such insurance (whether or not the Mortgage Loan is outstanding) for so long as any portion of the Debt remains outstanding.  All such policies (except policies for worker’s compensation) shall name Lender as an additional named insured (subject to the rights of Mortgage Lender), with respect to the insurance required pursuant to Section 3.01(a)(iii) of the Mortgage, shall provide, subsequent to the satisfaction of the Mortgage Loan, for loss payable to Lender and shall contain (or have attached):  (i) standard “non-contributory mortgagee” endorsement or its equivalent relating, inter alia, to recovery by Lender notwithstanding the negligent or willful acts or omissions of Borrower; (ii) a waiver of subrogation endorsement as to Lender; (iii) an endorsement indicating that neither Lender nor Borrower shall be or be deemed to be a co-insurer with respect to any casualty risk insured by such policies and shall provide for a deductible per loss of an amount not more than that which is customarily maintained by owners of similar properties similarly situated, and (iv) a provision that such policies shall not be canceled, terminated, denied renewal or amended, including, without limitation, any amendment reducing the scope or limits of coverage, without at least thirty (30) days’ prior written notice to Lender in each instance.  Not less than thirty (30) days prior to the expiration dates of the insurance policies obtained pursuant to this Agreement, originals or certified copies of renewals of such policies (or certificates evidencing such renewals) bearing notations evidencing the payment of premiums or accompanied by other reasonable evidence of such payment (which premiums shall not be paid by Borrower or Owner through or by any financing arrangement which would entitle an insurer to terminate a policy) provided, however, premiums for the insurance required pursuant to this Section may be paid quarterly in advance or as otherwise reasonably acceptable to Lender, it being acknowledged that paying the premium for such policies by financing the same, paying twenty percent (20%) of the total annual premium (inclusive of finance charges) at the time of the applicable policy renewal and paying the remaining eighty percent (80%) of the total annual premium (inclusive of finance charges) in nine (9) equal monthly installments is acceptable to Lender) shall be delivered by Borrower to Lender.  Borrower shall not carry separate insurance, concurrent in kind or form or contributing in the event of loss, with any insurance required under Section 3.01 of the Mortgage or Section 2.30(c) hereof.

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

(c)           Borrower shall deliver, or shall cause Owner to deliver, to Lender such other

28




insurance as may from time to time be required by Lender and which is then customarily required by Institutional Lenders for similar properties similarly situated, against other insurable hazards, including, but not limited to, malicious mischief, vandalism, acts of terrorism, windstorm and/or earthquake, due regard to be given to the size and type of the Premises, Improvements, Fixtures and Equipment and their location, construction and use.

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

(a)           After the Mortgage Loan has been paid in full, in the event of any loss or damage covered by any insurance, Lender is hereby authorized (i) if an Event of Default shall have occurred or, if no Event of Default shall have occurred but Borrower or Owner fails to settle and adjust any claim within ninety (90) Business Days after such casualty has occurred, to settle and adjust any claim under such insurance without the consent of Borrower or Owner, or (ii) if no Event of Default has occurred, to allow Borrower or Owner within ninety (90) Business Days after such casualty to settle and adjust such claim with, if any settlement may reasonably be anticipated to result in proceeds in excess of $250,000.00, the consent of Lender, not to be unreasonably withheld; provided, however, that in either case Lender shall, and is hereby authorized to, collect and receive any such insurance proceeds, subject, however, to the rights of Mortgage Lender under the Mortgage Loan Documents.  The expenses incurred by Lender in the adjustment and collection of such proceeds of insurance shall be additional Debt of Borrower, and shall be reimbursed to Lender upon demand or, at Lender’s option, in the event and to the extent sufficient proceeds are available, deducted by Lender from such proceeds of insurance prior to any other application thereof.  If the Mortgage Loan has been paid in full, each insurance company which has issued insurance is hereby authorized and directed to make payment for all losses covered by such insurance to Lender alone, and not to Lender and Borrower or Owner jointly.  Borrower agrees to execute and cause Owner to execute all documents and make all deliveries required in order to permit adjustment and payment of insurance proceeds as provided above.

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

Section 2.32.  Management of Premises.  Borrower shall cause Owner to operate and manage the Premises or cause the Premises to be operated and managed in a manner which is consistent with the Approved Manager Standard.  Borrower covenants and agrees with Lender

29




that (a) the Premises will be managed at all times by Manager pursuant to the management agreement approved by Lender (the “Management Agreement”), (b) after Borrower has knowledge of a fifty percent (50%) or more change in control of the ownership of Manager, Borrower will promptly give Lender notice thereof (a “Manager Control Notice”) and (c) the Management Agreement may be terminated by Lender at any time for cause (including, but not limited to, Manager’s gross negligence, misappropriation of funds, willful misconduct or fraud) or at any time following (A) the occurrence of an Event of Default, or (B) the receipt of a Manager Control Notice, and a substitute managing agent shall be appointed by Borrower, subject to Lender’s prior written approval, which, in the case of clause (A) above, may be given or withheld in Lender’s sole discretion and in the case of clause (B) above, shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed, and which may be conditioned on, inter alia, a letter from the Rating Agency confirming that any rating issued by the Rating Agency in connection with a Securitization or Mortgage Securitization will not, as a result of the proposed change of Manager, be downgraded from the then current ratings thereof, qualified or withdrawn.  Borrower may from time to time cause Owner to appoint a successor manager to manage the Premises with Lender’s prior written consent which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed, provided that any such successor manager shall be a reputable management company which meets the Approved Manager Standard and each Rating Agency shall have confirmed in writing that any rating issued by the Rating Agency in connection with a Securitization or in connection with a Mortgage Securitization will not, as a result of the proposed change of Manager, be downgraded from the then current ratings thereof, qualified or withdrawn.  Borrower further covenants and agrees that Borrower shall cause Owner to require the Manager (or any successor managers) to maintain at all times during the term of the Loan worker’s compensation insurance as required by Governmental Authorities.

Section 2.33.  Power of Attorney.  Borrower hereby irrevocably appoints and instructs Lender as its attorney-in-fact, with full authority in the place and stead of Borrower and in the name of Borrower, Lender or otherwise, from time to time in Lender’s discretion to take any and all actions necessary and proper, to carry out the intent of this Agreement and (a) to perfect and protect the lien, pledge, assignment and security interest of Lender created hereunder, (b) from and during the continuance of an Event of Default, (i) to ask, demand, collect, sue for, recover, compromise, receive and give acquittance and receipts for moneys due and to become due under or in respect of any of the Collateral, (ii) to file any claims or take any action or institute any proceedings for the collection of any of the Collateral or otherwise to enforce the rights of Lender with respect to any of the Collateral, and (iii) in connection with the exercise of any power, right, privilege or remedy pursuant to this Agreement, to make all necessary assignments, transfers and deliveries of the Collateral and rights and to execute all applications, certificates, instruments, assignments and other documents and papers, (c) to collect and receive any insurance proceeds paid with respect to any portion of the insurance policies required to be maintained hereunder, and to endorse any checks, drafts or other instruments representing any insurance proceeds whether payable by reason of loss thereunder or otherwise, (d) to exercise any option to extend or renew the term of the Ground Lease in the name of and on behalf of Borrower or Owner and (e) from and during the continuance of an Event of Default, to file and prosecute, to the exclusion of Borrower and Owner, any proofs of claim, complaints, motions, applications, notices and other documents, in any case in respect of the Ground Lessor under the Bankruptcy Code.  Borrower hereby ratifies, approves and confirms all actions taken by Lender and its attorneys-in-fact pursuant to this Section 2.33.  Neither Lender nor any said Lender or

30




attorney-in-fact will be liable for any acts of commission or omission nor for any error of judgment or mistake of fact or law with respect to its dealings with the Collateral.  This power of attorney, being coupled with an interest, is irrevocable until the date upon which the Debt has been indefeasibly satisfied in full.  Without limiting the foregoing, if Borrower fails to perform any agreement or obligation contained herein, Lender may itself perform, or cause performance of, where necessary or advisable in the name or on behalf of Borrower, and at the expense of Borrower, as applicable.

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

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

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

31




consent, which consent will not be unreasonably withheld or delayed.  In all instances that Owner is required to obtain the consent of Mortgage Lender prior to entering into any Lease, Lease amendment, modification or termination, Borrower shall cause Owner to obtain Lender’s consent to such proposed Lease, Lease amendment, modification or termination prior to permitting or causing Owner to submit the proposed Lease, Lease amendment, modification or termination to Mortgage Lender.  Borrower shall, and shall cause Owner to, promptly send copies to Lender of all notices of material default which Owner shall receive under the Leases.

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

Section 2.36.  Ground Lease.

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

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

(c)           Lender shall have the right, but not the obligation, to perform any obligations of

32




Borrower or Owner under the terms of the Ground Lease during the continuance of an Event of Default.  All costs and expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses) so incurred, shall be treated as an advance secured by this Agreement, shall bear interest thereon at the Default Rate from the date of payment by Lender until paid in full and shall be paid by Borrower to Lender during the continuance of an Event of Default on demand.  No performance by Lender of any obligations of Borrower or Owner shall constitute a waiver of any Event of Default arising by reason of Borrower’s or Owner’s failure to perform the same.  If Lender shall make any payment or perform any act or take action in accordance with this Section 2.36(c), Lender will notify Borrower of the making of any such payment, the performance of any such act, or the taking of any such action.

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

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

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

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

33




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

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

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

(j)            if Borrower consummates a transaction which would cause this Agreement or Lender’s rights under this Agreement, the Note or any other Loan Document to constitute a non-exempt prohibited transaction under ERISA or result in a violation of a state statute regulating government plans subjecting Lender to liability for a violation of ERISA or a state statute;

(k)           if a default beyond applicable notice and grace periods shall occur under any loan and security agreement executed by Borrower or any Affiliate of Borrower which secures, in whole or in part, the Debt;

Section 3.02.  Remedies.  (a)  Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, Lender may, in addition to any other rights or remedies available to it hereunder or under any other Loan Document, at law or in equity, take such action, without notice or demand, as it reasonably deems advisable to protect and enforce its rights against Borrower and in and to the Collateral, including, but not limited to, the following actions, each of which may be pursued singly, concurrently or otherwise, at such time and in such order as Lender may determine, in its sole discretion, without impairing or otherwise affecting any other rights and remedies of Lender hereunder, at law or in equity:  (i) declare all or any portion of the unpaid Loan to be immediately due and payable; provided, however, that upon the occurrence of any of the events specified in Section 3.01(i), the entire Loan will be immediately due and payable without notice or demand or any other declaration of the amounts due and payable; or (ii) bring an action to foreclose this Agreement and thereupon Lender may (A) exercise all rights and powers of Borrower with respect to the Collateral or any part thereof, whether in the name of Borrower or otherwise and (B) apply the receipts from the Collateral to the payment of the Debt, after deducting therefrom all expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements and all applicable transfer taxes) reasonably incurred in connection therewith, as well as just and reasonable compensation for the services of Lender’s third-party agents; or (iii) sell the Collateral or institute proceedings for the complete foreclosure of this Agreement, or take such other action as may be allowed pursuant to Legal Requirements, at law or in equity, for the enforcement of this Agreement; or (iv) pursue any or all such other rights or remedies as Lender may have under applicable law or in equity (including, without limitation, all rights and remedies to a secured party under the UCC); provided, however, that the provisions of this Section shall not be construed to extend or modify any of the notice requirements or grace periods provided for hereunder or under any of the other Loan Documents.

(b)           In addition to the remedies described in subsection (a) above, if any Event of Default shall occur, so long as such Event of Default shall be continuing, (i) Lender and/or its nominees or designees shall have the right to receive any and all dividends, payments or Distributions paid with respect to the Equity Interests and the other Collateral, as applicable, and make application thereof in accordance with this Agreement (and any dividends and other payments received in trust by Borrower for the benefit of Lender shall be segregated from the other funds of Borrower) and (ii) at Lender’s election, all Equity Interests shall be transferred to Lender and/or one (1) or more nominee(s) or designee(s) thereof, and Lender and/or such nominee(s) or designee(s) may in the name of Borrower or in Lender’s and/or such nominee’s(s’) or designee’s(s’) own name, collect all payments and assets due Borrower pursuant to the Equity Interests and/or the applicable Organizational Documents, and Lender

36




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

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

(d)           Without limiting the generality of the other provisions of this Agreement, Lender is hereby authorized by Borrower, but not obligated, in the event of any Event of Default hereunder giving rise to Lender’s rights to sell or otherwise dispose of the Collateral, and after the giving of any notices required herein, to sell all or any part of the Collateral at private sale, subject to an investment letter or in any other manner which will not require the Collateral, or any part thereof, to be registered in accordance with the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), or other applicable rules and regulations promulgated thereunder, or any other law or regulation, at the best price reasonably obtainable by Lender at any such private sale or other disposition in the manner mentioned above, and Borrower specifically acknowledges that any such disposition shall be commercially reasonable under the UCC even though any such private sales may be at prices and on terms less favorable than those obtainable through a public

37




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

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

38




THE PREFERENTIAL PAYMENT PROVISIONS).

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

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

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

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

Fourth:  The surplus, if any, to Borrower unless otherwise required by Legal Requirements.

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

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

(h)           Upon the completion of any sale or sales made by Lender under or by virtue of this Section, Lender, or any officer of any court empowered to do so, shall execute and deliver to the accepted purchaser or purchasers a good and sufficient instrument, or good and sufficient instruments, granting, conveying, assigning and transferring all estate, right, title and interest in and to the Collateral.  Lender is hereby irrevocably appointed the true and lawful attorney-in-fact

39




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

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

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

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

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

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

40




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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Section 3.08.  Payment of Debt After Default.  If following the occurrence of any Event

41




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

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

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

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

Section 3.12.  Recovery of Sums Required To Be Paid.  Lender shall have the right from time to time to take action to recover any sum or sums which constitute a part of the Debt as the same become due and payable hereunder (after the expiration of any grace period or the giving

42




of any notice herein provided, if any), without regard to whether or not the balance of the Debt shall be due, and without prejudice to the right of Lender thereafter to bring an action of foreclosure, or any other action, for a default or defaults by Borrower existing at the time such earlier action was commenced.

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

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

43




obligations, claims, damages, penalties, causes of action, costs and expenses relative to the foregoing which result from Lender’s, and its successors’ or assigns’, willful misconduct or gross negligence.  Any amounts payable to Lender by reason of the application of this Section shall constitute a part of the Debt secured by this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and shall become immediately due and payable and shall bear interest at the Default Rate from the date the liability, obligation, claim, cost or expense is sustained by Lender, as applicable, until paid.  The provisions of this Section shall survive the termination of this Agreement whether by repayment of the Debt, foreclosure of this Agreement, assignment or otherwise.  In case any action, suit or proceeding is brought against any of the Indemnified Parties by reason of any occurrence of the type set forth in (a) through (m) above, Borrower shall, at Borrower’s expense, resist and defend such action, suit or proceeding or will cause the same to be resisted and defended by counsel at Borrower’s expense for the insurer of the liability or by counsel designated by Borrower (unless reasonably disapproved by Lender promptly after Lender has been notified of such counsel); provided, however, that nothing herein shall compromise the right of Lender (or any other Indemnified Party) to appoint its own counsel at Borrower’s expense for its defense with respect to any action which, in the reasonable opinion of Lender or such other Indemnified Party, as applicable, presents a conflict or potential conflict between Lender or such other Indemnified Party that would make such separate representation advisable.  Any Indemnified Party will give Borrower prompt notice after such Indemnified Party obtains actual knowledge of any potential claim by such Indemnified Party for indemnification hereunder.  The Indemnified Parties shall not settle or compromise any action, proceeding or claim as to which it is indemnified hereunder without notice to Borrower.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, so long as no Default has occurred and is continuing and Borrower is resisting and defending such action, suit or proceeding as provided above in a prudent and commercially reasonable manner, in order to obtain the benefit of this Section with respect to such action, suit or proceeding, Lender and the Indemnified Parties agree that they shall not settle such action, suit or proceeding without obtaining Borrower’s consent which Borrower agrees not to unreasonably withhold, condition or delay; provided, however, (x) if  Borrower is not diligently defending such action, suit or proceeding in a prudent and commercially reasonable manner as provided above and Lender has provided Borrower with thirty (30) days’ prior written notice, or shorter period if mandated by the requirements of the applicable law, and Borrower has failed to correct such failure, or (y) failure to settle could, in Lender’s reasonable judgment, expose Lender to criminal liability, Lender may settle such action, suit or proceeding without the consent of but upon notice to Borrower and be entitled to the benefits of this Section with respect to the settlement of such action, suit or proceeding.

ARTICLE V.  SECURITY AGREEMENT

Section 5.01.  Security Agreement.  (a)  This Agreement is a “security agreement” within the meaning of the UCC.  If an Event of Default shall occur, Lender, in addition to any other rights and remedies which it may have, shall have and may exercise immediately and without demand, any and all rights and remedies granted to a secured party upon default under the UCC, including, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the right to take possession of the Collateral or any part thereof, and to take such other measures as Lender may deem necessary for the care, protection and preservation of the Collateral.  Upon request or demand of Lender following an Event of Default, Borrower shall, at its expense, assemble the Collateral and make it available to Lender at a convenient place acceptable to Lender.  Borrower shall pay to Lender

44




on demand any and all expenses, including reasonable legal expenses and attorneys’ fees and all transfer taxes, incurred or paid by Lender in protecting its interest in the Collateral and in enforcing its rights hereunder with respect to the Collateral.  Any notice of sale, disposition or other intended action by Lender with respect to the Collateral given to Borrower in accordance with the provisions hereof at least ten (10) days prior to such action shall constitute reasonable notice to Borrower.

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

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

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

ARTICLE VI.  PREPAYMENT

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

(b)           Borrower may voluntarily prepay the Loan, in whole or in part, on any Business Day, in accordance with the following provisions:

(i)            Lender shall have received from Borrower not less than thirty (30) days , nor more than ninety (90) days, prior written notice specifying the date proposed for such prepayment and the amount which is to be prepaid (which notice shall be revocable by Borrower up to three (3) times during the term of the Loan by giving Lender not less than one (1) Business Day prior written notice of such revocation, provided that Borrower shall remain obligated to pay Lender’s costs and expenses including, without limitation, breakage costs incurred by Lender in connection with such revocation).

45




(ii)           Borrower shall also pay to Lender all interest due through and including the last day of the Interest Accrual Period in which such prepayment is being made, together with any and all other amounts due and owing pursuant to the terms of the Note, this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, provided that the amount prepaid shall be deposited in an interest-bearing account until the Final Payment Date, and all interest accruing thereon through  the date immediately preceding the Final Payment Date shall be remitted to Borrower, provided that Borrower acknowledges that Lender makes no representation or warranty as to the rate of return.  For the sake of clarity, if Borrower shall have paid interest on the Payment Date in the month in which the repayment occurs through the then current Interest Accrual Period and repays the Debt in full on or before the Final Payment Date, no additional interest shall be due or payable by Borrower with respect to the period subsequent to the Payment Date.

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

(iv)          Intentionally omitted.

(v)           Intentionally omitted.

(vi)          In the event that the Loan is prepaid in whole or in part prior to the first (1st) anniversary of the date hereof, Borrower shall pay to Lender, together with such prepayment and all other amounts due in connection therewith, a non-refundable amount which shall be deemed earned by Lender upon the funding of the Loan and shall not count to or be credited to payment of the Principal Amount, any interest thereon or any other amounts payable under the Note, this Agreement or any of the Loan Documents, equal to the Spread Maintenance Premium.  Thereafter, all prepayments of the Loan shall be without any prepayment fee or charge of any kind.

(vii)         No prepayments shall be made on the Mortgage Loan until the Loan shall have been paid in full.

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

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

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

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

Section 7.12.  APPLICABLE LAW.  THIS AGREEMENT WAS NEGOTIATED IN THE STATE OF NEW YORK AND MADE BY BORROWER AND ACCEPTED BY LENDER IN THE STATE OF NEW YORK AND THE PROCEEDS OF THE NOTE WERE DISBURSED FROM THE STATE OF NEW YORK WHICH STATE THE PARTIES AGREE HAS A SUBSTANTIAL RELATIONSHIP TO THE PARTIES AND TO THE UNDERLYING

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

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

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

Section 7.16.  Offsets, Counterclaims and Defenses.  Any assignee of this Agreement and the Note shall take the same free and clear of all offsets, counterclaims or defenses which are unrelated to the Note or this Agreement which Borrower may otherwise have against any assignor of this Agreement and the Note and no such unrelated counterclaim or defense shall be interposed or asserted by Borrower in any action or proceeding brought by any such assignee upon this Agreement or the Note and any such right to interpose or assert any such unrelated offset, counterclaim or defense in any such action or proceeding is hereby expressly waived by Borrower.

Section 7.17.  Restoration of Rights.  In case Lender shall have proceeded to enforce any right under this Agreement and such proceedings shall have been discontinued or abandoned for

49




any reason or shall have been determined adversely, then, in every such case, Borrower and Lender shall be restored to their former positions and rights hereunder with respect to the Collateral subject to the lien hereof.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

50




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

Section 7.25.  Publicity.  All promotional news releases, publicity or advertising by Borrower or its Affiliates through any media intended to reach the general public shall not refer to the Loan Documents or the financing evidenced by the Loan Documents, or to Lender or to any of its Affiliates without the prior written approval of Lender or such Affiliate, as applicable, in each instance, such approval not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed.  Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, Borrower shall be authorized to provide information relating to the Loan Documents or the financing evidenced by the Loan Documents, or to Lender or to any of its Affiliates, to rating agencies, underwriters, potential securities investors, auditors, regulatory authorities and to any Persons which may be entitled to such information by operation of law and without limiting the foregoing to issue press releases and make Form 8-K and other securities filings containing the above-described information as it or its counsel reasonably deems required by law.  Lender shall be authorized to provide information relating to the Collateral, the Loan and matters relating thereto to rating agencies, underwriters, potential securities investors, auditors, regulatory authorities and to any Persons which may be entitled to such information by operation of law and may use basic transaction information (including, without limitation, the name of Borrower, the name and address of the Premises and the Loan Amount) in press releases or other marketing materials.

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

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

51




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

(b)           Borrower acknowledges that Lender may on or after the Closing Date sell and assign participation interests in and to the Loan, or pledge, hypothecate or encumber, or sell and assign all or any portion of the Loan, to or with such domestic or foreign banks, insurance companies, pension funds, trusts or other institutional lenders or other Persons, parties or investors (including, without limitation, grantor trusts, owner trusts, special purpose corporations, real estate investment trusts or other similar or comparable investment vehicles) as may be selected by Lender in its sole and absolute discretion and on terms and conditions satisfactory to Lender in its sole and absolute discretion.  Borrower and all Affiliates of Borrower shall cooperate in all respects with Lender in connection with the sale of participation interests in, or the pledge, hypothecation or encumbrance or sale of all or any portion of, the Loan, and shall, in connection therewith, at Lender’s sole cost and expense, execute and deliver such estoppels, certificates, instruments and documents as may be reasonably requested by Lender.  Borrower grants to Lender the right to distribute financial and other information concerning Borrower, Owner, the Premises, the Collateral, and all other pertinent information with respect to the Loan to any Person who has purchased a participation interest in the Loan, or who has purchased the Loan, or who has made a loan to Lender secured by the Loan or who has expressed an interest in purchasing a participation interest in the Loan, or expressed an interest in purchasing the Loan or the making of a loan to Lender secured by the Loan.  If requested by Lender, Borrower shall execute and deliver, and shall cause each Affiliate of Borrower to execute and deliver, at no cost or expense to Borrower, such documents and instruments as may be necessary to split the Loan into two or more loans evidenced by separate sets of notes and secured by separate sets of other related Loan Documents to the full extent required by Lender to facilitate the sale of participation interests in the Loan or the sale of the Loan or the making of a loan to Lender secured by the Loan, it being agreed that (a) any such splitting of the Loan will not adversely affect or diminish the rights of Borrower as presently set forth herein and in the other Loan Documents and will not increase the respective obligations and liabilities of Borrower or any other Person associated or connected with the Loan or the Collateral, (b) the Loan Documents securing the Loan as so split will have such priority of lien as may be specified by Lender, and (c) the retained interest of Lender in the Loan as so split shall be allocated to or

52




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

(c)           Lender, at its option, may elect to effect a Securitization by means of the issuance of certificates of interest therein or notes secured thereby (the “Securities”) rated by one or more Rating Agencies.  In such event and upon request by Lender to seek to effect such a Securitization, Borrower, at no cost and expense to Borrower shall promptly thereafter cooperate in all reasonable respects with Lender in the Securitization including, without limitation, providing such information as may be requested in connection with the preparation of a private placement memorandum or registration statement required to privately place or publicly distribute the Securities in a manner which does not conflict with federal or state securities laws.

Section 7.29.  Mortgage Loan Defaults.

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

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

(c)           Borrower hereby indemnifies Lender from and against all out-of-pocket liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, assessments, actions, or causes of action, judgments, suits, claims, demands, costs, expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ and other professional fees, whether or not suit is brought, and settlement costs), and disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever which may be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against

54




Lender as a result of the foregoing actions described in Section 7.29(a) or (b) other than as a result of gross negligence or willful misconduct of Lender.  Lender shall have no obligation to Borrower, Owner or any other party to make any such payment or performance.

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

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

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

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

Section 7.33.  Reallocation of Loan Amounts.  Lender, without in any way limiting its other rights hereunder, in its sole and absolute discretion, shall have the right to reallocate the amount of the Loan and the Mortgage Loan and/or adjust the interest rate rates thereon provided that (i) the aggregate principal amount of the Loan and the Mortgage Loan immediately following such reallocation shall equal the outstanding principal balance of the Loan and the Mortgage Loan immediately prior to such reallocation, and (ii) the initial weighted average

55




interest rate of the Note and the note evidencing the Mortgage Loan immediately following such reallocation shall equal the weighted average interest rate which was applicable to the Note and the note evidencing the Mortgage Loan immediately prior to such reallocation.  Borrower shall cooperate with all reasonable requests of Lender in order to reallocate the amount of the Loan and the Mortgage Loan and shall execute and deliver such documents as shall reasonably be required by Lender in connection therewith, including, without limitation, amendments to the Loan Documents and the documents evidencing or securing the Mortgage Loan, and endorsements to the Title Policy and the UCC title insurance policy, all in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Lender, and Lender shall pay all costs and expenses in connection with such reallocation pursuant to this Section, including, without limitation, any additional title insurance and UCC insurance premiums and any additional mortgage, mortgage recording, stamp, intangible or other similar tax required to be paid by any Person under applicable Legal Requirements currently in effect in connection with the execution, delivery, recordation, filing, registration, perfection or enforcement of any amendments of the Loan Documents or the documents evidencing or securing the Mortgage Loan in connection with the reallocation.

(xvi)        Borrower and SPE Pledgor shall at all times cause there to be at least two (2) duly appointed members, with respect to Borrower, and at least one (1) duly appointed member, with respect to SPE Pledgor, of the board of directors or board of managers or other governing board or body, as applicable (each an “Independent Director”), of, if Borrower or SPE Pledgor is a corporation, Borrower and SPE Pledgor, as applicable, and, if Borrower or SPE Pledgor is a limited partnership or limited liability company, of the General Partner, reasonably satisfactory to Lender who shall not have been at the time of such individual’s appointment, and may not be or have been at any time (A) a shareholder of SPE Pledgor, officer, director, attorney, counsel, partner, member or employee of Borrower or any of the foregoing Persons or Affiliates thereof, (B) a customer or creditor of, or supplier or service provider to, Borrower or SPE Pledgor or any of its shareholders, partners, members or their Affiliates, (C) a member of the immediate family of any Person referred to in (A) or (B) above or (D) a Person Controlling, Controlled by or under common Control with any Person referred to in (A)

(k)           Compliance with Law.  Borrower is in compliance in all material respects with all Legal Requirements to which it or the Property is subject, including, without limitation, all Environmental Statutes, the Occupational Safety and Health Act of 1970, the Americans with Disabilities Act and ERISA.  No portion of the Property has been or will be purchased, improved, fixtured, equipped or furnished with proceeds of any illegal activity and, to the best of Borrower’s knowledge, no illegal activities are being conducted at or from the Property.

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

(t)            ERISA.  (i) The assets of Borrower and Guarantor are not and will not become treated as “plan assets”, whether by operation of law or under regulations promulgated under ERISA.  If any Person having a legal or beneficial ownership interest in Borrower is using (or is deemed under ERISA to be using) “plan assets”, Borrower will qualify as a “real estate operating company” within the meaning of 29 C.F.R. §2510.3-101(e) at all times that the Loan is outstanding.  Each Plan and Welfare Plan, and, to the knowledge of Borrower, each Multiemployer Plan, is in compliance in all material respects with, and has been administered in all material respects in compliance with, its terms and the applicable provisions of ERISA, the Code and any other applicable Legal Requirement, and no event or condition has occurred and is continuing as to which Borrower would be under an obligation to furnish a report to Lender under clause (ii)(A) of this Section.  Other than an application for a favorable determination letter with respect to a Plan, there are no pending issues or claims before the Internal Revenue Service, the United States Department of Labor or any court of competent jurisdiction related to any Plan or Welfare Plan under which Borrower, Guarantor or any ERISA Affiliate, directly or indirectly (through an indemnification agreement or otherwise), could be subject to any material risk of liability under Section 409 or 502(i) of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code.  No Welfare Plan, other than a Multiemployer Plan, provides or will provide benefits, including, without limitation, death or medical benefits (whether or not insured) with respect to any current or former employee of Borrower, Guarantor or any ERISA Affiliate beyond his or her retirement or other termination of service other than (A) coverage mandated by applicable law, (B) death or disability benefits that have been fully provided for by fully paid up insurance or (C) severance benefits.

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

(D)          the complete or partial withdrawal from a Multiemployer Plan (or other employee benefit plan) by Borrower or any ERISA Affiliate that results in liability under Section 4201 or 4204 of ERISA (including the obligation to satisfy secondary liability as a result of a purchaser default) or the receipt by Borrower or any ERISA Affiliate of notice from a Multiemployer Plan that it is in reorganization or insolvency pursuant to Section 4241 or 4245 of ERISA or that it intends to terminate or has terminated under Section 4041A of ERISA;
(E)           the institution of a proceeding by a fiduciary of any Multiemployer Plan against Borrower or any ERISA Affiliate to enforce Section 515 of ERISA, which proceeding is not dismissed within thirty (30) days;
(F)           the adoption of an amendment to any Plan that, pursuant to Section 401(a)(29) of the Code or Section 307 of ERISA, would result in the loss of tax-exempt status of the trust of which such Plan is a part if Borrower or an ERISA Affiliate fails to timely provide security to the Plan in accordance with the provisions of said Sections; or
(G)           the imposition of a lien or a security interest in connection with a Plan.

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

(u)           Labor Matters.  No organized work stoppage or labor strike is pending or threatened by employees or other laborers at the Property and none of Borrower, SPE Pledgor nor Manager (i) is involved in or threatened with any material labor dispute, grievance or litigation relating to labor matters involving any employees and other laborers at the Property, including, without limitation, violation of any federal, state or local labor, safety or employment laws (domestic or foreign) and/or charges of unfair labor practices or discrimination complaints; (ii) has engaged in any unfair labor practices within the meaning of the National Labor Relations Act or the Railway Labor Act; or (iii) except as otherwise disclosed in writing to Lender, is a party to, or bound by, any collective bargaining agreement or union contract with respect to employees and other laborers at the Property and no such agreement or contract is currently being negotiated by Borrower, SPE Pledgor, Manager or any of their Affiliates.

Section 2.05.  Representations, Warranties and Covenants Relating to the Property.  Borrower represents and warrants to and covenants with Lender with respect to the Property as follows:

(a)           Lien Priority.  This Security Instrument is a valid and enforceable first lien on the Property, free and clear of all encumbrances and liens having priority over the lien of this Security Instrument, except for the items set forth as exceptions to, subordinate matters in, or otherwise disclosed in the title insurance policy insuring the lien of this Security Instrument, none of which, individually or in the aggregate, materially interfere with the benefits of the security intended to be provided by this Security Instrument, materially affect the value or marketability of the Property, materially impair the use or operation of the Property for the use currently being made thereof or impair Borrower’s ability to pay its obligations in a timely manner (such items being the “Permitted Encumbrances”).

(b)           Title.  Borrower has, subject only to the Permitted Encumbrances, good, insurable and marketable fee simple title to the Premises, Improvements and Fixtures (the Improvements and Fixtures, together with the Premises are referred to collectively as the “Realty”) and good, insurable and marketable title to all easements and rights benefiting the Realty and has the right, power and authority to mortgage, encumber, give, grant, bargain, sell, alien, enfeoff, convey, confirm, pledge, assign, and hypothecate the Property.  Borrower will preserve its interest in and title to the Property and will forever warrant and defend the same to Lender against any and all claims made by, through or under Borrower and will forever warrant and defend the validity and priority of the lien and security interest created herein against the claims of all Persons whomsoever claiming by, through or under Borrower.  The foregoing warranty of title shall

39




survive the foreclosure of this Security Instrument and shall inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by Lender in the event Lender acquires title to the Property pursuant to any foreclosure.  In addition, there are no outstanding options or rights of first refusal to purchase the Property or Borrower’s ownership thereof.

(c)           Taxes and Impositions.  All taxes and other Impositions and governmental assessments due and payable in respect of, and affecting, the Property have been paid to the extent due and payable as of the date hereof.  Borrower has paid all Impositions which constitute special governmental assessments in full, except for those assessments which are permitted by applicable Legal Requirements to be paid in installments, in which case all installments which are due and payable have been paid in full.  There are no pending, or to Borrower’s best knowledge, proposed special or other assessments for public improvements or otherwise affecting the Property, nor are there any contemplated improvements to the Property that may result in such special or other assessments.

(d)           Casualty; Flood Zone.  The Realty is in good repair and free and clear of any damage, destruction or casualty (whether or not covered by insurance) that would materially affect the value of the Realty or the use for which the Realty is currently being used, there exists no structural or other material defects or damages in or to the Property and Borrower has not received any written notice from any insurance company or bonding company of any material defect or inadequacies in the Property, or any part thereof, which would materially and adversely affect the insurability of the same or cause the imposition of extraordinary premiums or charges thereon or of any termination or threatened termination of any policy of insurance or bond.  No portion of the Premises is located in an “area of special flood hazard,” as that term is defined in the regulations of the Federal Insurance Administration, Department of Housing and Urban Development, under the National Flood Insurance Act of 1968, as amended (24 CFR § 1909.1), other than as disclosed in the surveys of the Property delivered to Lender by Borrower in connection with the origination of the Loan, or Borrower has obtained the flood insurance required by Section 3.01(a)(vi) hereof.

(k)           Utilities.  The Premises has all necessary legal access to water, gas and electrical supply, storm and sanitary sewerage facilities, other required public utilities (with respect to each of the aforementioned items, by means of either a direct connection to the source of such utilities or through connections available on publicly dedicated roadways directly abutting the Premises or through permanent insurable easements benefiting the Premises), fire and police protection, parking, and means of direct access between the Premises and public highways over recognized curb cuts (or such access to public highways is through private roadways which may be used for ingress and egress pursuant to permanent insurable easements).

(viii)        Each Space Lease is in full force and effect and (except as disclosed on the Rent Roll) has not been assigned, modified, supplemented or amended in any way.

(ix)           To Borrower’s best knowledge, no tenant under a Space Lease has filed any bankruptcy, reorganization or arrangement proceedings or made a general assignment for the benefit of creditors.

(vii)         All “pre-opening” requirements contained in all Property Agreements (including, but not limited to, all off-site and on-site construction requirements), if any, have been fulfilled in all material respects, and, to the best of Borrower’s knowledge, no condition now exists which would permit any party to any such Property Agreement to refuse to honor its obligations thereunder in accordance with the terms thereof.

(viii)        All work, if any, to be performed by Borrower under each of the Property Agreements has been substantially performed, all contributions to be made by Borrower to any party to such Property Agreements have been made, and all other conditions to such party’s obligations thereunder have been satisfied in all material respects.

(t)            Appraisal.  Borrower has no knowledge that any of the facts or assumptions on which the Appraisal was based are false or incomplete in any material respect and has no information that would reasonably suggest that the fair market value determined in the Appraisal does not reflect the actual fair market value of the Property.

(c)           Notwithstanding the foregoing, Borrower may contest any lien (other than a lien relating to non-payment of Impositions, the contest of which shall be governed by Section 4.04 hereof) of the type set forth in subparagraph (b)(ii) of this Section 2.06 provided that, following prior notice to Lender (i) Borrower is contesting the validity of such lien with due diligence and in good faith and by appropriate proceedings, without cost or expense to Lender or any of its agents, employees, officers, or directors, (ii) Borrower shall preclude the collection of, or other realization upon, any contested amount from the Property or any revenues from or interest in the Property, (iii) neither the Property nor any part thereof nor interest therein, shall be in any danger of being sold, forfeited or lost by reason of such contest by Borrower, (iv) such contest by Borrower shall not affect the ownership, use or occupancy of the Property, (v) such contest by Borrower shall not subject Lender, Trustee or Borrower to the risk of civil or criminal liability (other than the civil liability of Borrower for the amount of the lien in question), (vi) such lien is subordinate to the lien of this Security Instrument, (vii) Borrower has not consented to such lien, (viii) Borrower has given Lender prompt notice of the filing of such lien and the bonding thereof by Borrower and, upon request by Lender from time to time, notice of the status of such contest by Borrower and/or confirmation of the continuing satisfaction of the conditions set forth in this Section 2.06(c), (ix) Borrower shall promptly pay the obligation secured by such lien upon a final determination of Borrower’s liability therefor, and (x) Borrower shall deliver to Lender cash, a bond or other security acceptable to Lender equal to 125% of the contested amount pursuant to collateral arrangements reasonably satisfactory to Lender.

48




days after receipt thereof (and deliver to Borrower a reasonably detailed description of such objections) and Borrower shall revise the same in accordance with the process described herein until Lender approves an Annual Budget, provided, however, that if Lender shall not advise Borrower of its objections to any proposed Annual Budget within the applicable time period set forth in this Section, then such proposed Annual Budget shall be deemed approved by Lender.  Until such time that Lender approves a proposed Annual Budget, the most recently Approved Annual Budget shall apply; provided that, such Approved Annual Budget shall be adjusted to reflect actual increases in Basic Carrying Costs and utilities expenses and to delete any non-recurring expenses.  In the event that Borrower must incur an Extraordinary Expense of the type described in clause (a) of the definition of Extraordinary Expense, then Borrower shall promptly deliver to Lender a reasonably detailed explanation of such proposed Extraordinary Expense for Lender’s approval, which approval may be granted or denied in Lender’s sole and absolute discretion.

endorsement or its equivalent relating, inter alia, to recovery by Lender notwithstanding the negligent or willful acts or omissions of Borrower; (ii) a waiver of subrogation endorsement as to Lender; (iii) an endorsement indicating that neither Lender nor Borrower shall be or be deemed to be a co-insurer with respect to any casualty risk insured by such policies and shall provide for a deductible per loss of an amount not more than the lesser of (x) that which is customarily maintained by owners of similar properties similarly situated and (y) $250,000 or, with respect to the deductible under any insurance against losses resulting from windstorms, 5% of the values at risk or, with respect to the deductible under any insurance against losses resulting from earthquake, 5% of the values at risk, and (iv) a provision that such policies shall not be canceled, terminated, denied renewal or amended, including, without limitation, any amendment reducing the scope or limits of coverage, without at least thirty (30) days’ prior written notice to Lender in each instance.  Not less than thirty (30) days prior to the expiration dates of the insurance policies obtained pursuant to this Security Instrument, originals or certified copies of renewals of such policies (or certificates evidencing such renewals) bearing notations evidencing the payment of premiums or accompanied by other reasonable evidence of such payment (which premiums shall not be paid by Borrower through or by any financing arrangement which would entitle an insurer to terminate a policy; provided, however, premiums for the insurance required pursuant to Section 3.01(a)(i) may be paid quarterly in advance or as otherwise reasonably acceptable to Lender, it being acknowledged that paying the premium for such policies by financing the same, paying twenty percent (20%) of the total annual premium (inclusive of finance charges) at the time of the applicable policy renewal and paying the remaining eighty percent (80%) of the total annual premium (inclusive of finance charges) in nine (9) equal monthly installments is acceptable to Lender) shall be delivered by Borrower to Lender.  Borrower shall not carry separate insurance, concurrent in kind or form or contributing in the event of loss, with any insurance required under this Article III.

(b)           If Borrower fails to maintain and deliver to Lender the original policies or certificates of insurance required by this Security Instrument, or if there are insufficient funds in the Basic Carrying Costs Escrow Account to pay the premiums for same, Lender may, at its option, procure such insurance, and Borrower shall pay, or as the case may be, reimburse Lender for, all premiums thereon promptly, upon demand by Lender, with interest thereon at the Default Rate from the date paid by Lender to the date of repayment and such sum shall constitute a part of the Debt.

(c)           Borrower shall notify Lender of the renewal premium of each insurance policy and Lender shall be entitled to pay such amount on behalf of Borrower from the Basic Carrying Costs Escrow Account in accordance with the financing schedule of the payments for such premiums, if any, or, if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, in full or such other manner as Lender may elect.  With respect to insurance policies which require periodic payments (i.e., monthly or quarterly) of premiums, Lender shall be entitled to pay such amounts ten (10) days (or such lesser number of days as Lender shall determine) prior to the respective due dates of such installments.

(d)           The insurance required by this Security Instrument may, at the option of Borrower, be effected by blanket and/or umbrella policies issued to Borrower covering the Property provided that, in each case, the policies otherwise comply with the provisions of this

53




Security Instrument and allocate to the Property, from time to time (but in no event less than once a year), the coverage specified by this Security Instrument, without possibility of reduction or coinsurance by reason of damage to any other property (real or personal) named therein.  If the insurance required by this Security Instrument shall be effected by any such blanket or umbrella policies, Borrower shall furnish to Lender (i) original policies or certified copies thereof, or an original certificate of insurance together with reasonable access to the original of such policy to review such policy’s coverage of the Property, with schedules attached thereto showing the amount of the insurance provided under such policies applicable to the Property and (ii) an Officer’s Certificate setting forth (A) the number of properties covered by such policy, (B) the location by city (if available, otherwise, county) and state of the properties, (C) the average square footage of the properties, (D) a brief description of the typical construction type included in the blanket policy and (E) such other information as Lender may reasonably request.

Section 3.03.  Assignment of Policies.  (a) Borrower hereby assigns to Lender the proceeds of all insurance (other than worker’s compensation and liability insurance) obtained pursuant to this Security Instrument, all of which proceeds shall be payable to Lender as collateral and further security for the payment of the Debt and the performance of Borrower’s obligations hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, and Borrower hereby authorizes and directs the issuer of any such insurance to make payment of such proceeds directly to Lender.  Except as otherwise expressly provided in Section 3.04 or elsewhere in this Article III, Lender shall have the option, in its discretion, and without regard to the adequacy of its security, to apply all or any part of the proceeds it may receive pursuant to this Article in such manner as Lender may elect to any one or more of the following:  (i) the payment of the Debt, whether or not then due, in accordance with the provisions of the Note, (ii) the repair or restoration of the Property, (iii) the cure of any Default or (iv) the reimbursement of the costs and expenses of Lender incurred pursuant to the terms hereof in connection with the recovery of the Insurance Proceeds.  Subject to Section 15.03(a), nothing herein contained shall be deemed to excuse Borrower from repairing or maintaining the Property as provided in this Security Instrument or restoring all damage or destruction to the Property, regardless of the sufficiency of the Insurance Proceeds, and the application or release by Lender of any Insurance Proceeds shall not cure or waive any Default or notice of Default.

(b)           In the event of the foreclosure of this Security Instrument or any other transfer of title or assignment of all or any part of the Property in extinguishment, in whole or in part, of the Debt, all right, title and interest of Borrower in and to all policies of insurance required by this Security Instrument shall inure to the benefit of the successor in interest to Borrower or the purchaser of the Property (it being acknowledged that the policy required pursuant to Section 3.01(a)(ii) hereof shall not be required to be assigned to Lender).  If, prior to the receipt by Lender of any proceeds, the Property or any portion thereof shall have been sold on foreclosure of this Security Instrument or by deed in lieu thereof or otherwise, or any claim under such insurance policy arising during the term of this Security Instrument is not paid until after the extinguishment of the Debt, and Lender shall not have received the entire amount of the Debt outstanding at the time of such extinguishment, whether or not a deficiency judgment on this Security Instrument shall have been sought or recovered or denied, then, the proceeds of any such insurance to the extent of the amount of the Debt not so received, shall be paid to and be the property of Lender, together with interest thereon at the Default Rate, and the reasonable

54




attorney’s fees, costs and disbursements incurred by Lender in connection with the collection of the proceeds which shall be paid to Lender and Borrower hereby assigns, transfers and sets over to Lender all of Borrower’s right, title and interest in and to such proceeds.  Notwithstanding any provisions of this Security Instrument to the contrary, Lender shall not be deemed to be a trustee or other fiduciary with respect to its receipt of any such proceeds, which may be commingled with any other monies of Lender; provided, however, that Lender shall use such proceeds for the purposes and in the manner permitted by this Security Instrument.  Any proceeds deposited with Lender shall be held by Lender in an interest-bearing account, but Lender makes no representation or warranty as to the rate or amount of interest, if any, which may accrue on such deposit and shall have no liability in connection therewith.  Interest accrued, if any, on the proceeds shall be deemed to constitute a part of the proceeds for purposes of this Security Instrument.  The provisions of this Section 3.03(b) shall survive the termination of this Security Instrument by foreclosure, deed in lieu thereof or otherwise as a consequence of the exercise of the rights and remedies of Lender hereunder after a Default.

Section 3.04.  Casualty Restoration.  (a) (i) In the event of any damage to or destruction of the Property, Borrower shall give prompt written notice to Lender (which notice shall set forth Borrower’s good faith estimate of the cost of repairing or restoring such damage or destruction, or if Borrower cannot reasonably estimate the anticipated cost of restoration, Borrower shall nonetheless give Lender prompt notice of the occurrence of such damage or destruction, and will diligently proceed to obtain estimates to enable Borrower to quantify the anticipated cost and time required for such restoration, whereupon Borrower shall promptly notify Lender of such good faith estimate) and, provided that restoration does not violate any Legal Requirements, Borrower shall promptly commence and diligently prosecute to completion the repair, restoration or rebuilding of the Property so damaged or destroyed to a condition such that the Property shall be at least equal in value to that immediately prior to the damage to the extent practicable, in full compliance with all Legal Requirements and the provisions of all Leases, and in accordance with Section 3.04(b) below.  Such repair, restoration or rebuilding of the Property including, without limitation, preparation of plans and specifications in connection therewith, and also including the repair and replacement of furniture, fixtures and equipment, are sometimes hereinafter collectively referred to as the “Work”.

(ii)           Borrower shall not adjust, compromise or settle any claim for Insurance Proceeds without the prior written consent of Lender, which shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed and Lender shall have the right, at Borrower’s sole cost and expense, to participate in any settlement or adjustment of Insurance Proceeds; provided, however, that, except during the continuance of an Event of Default, Lender’s consent shall not be required with respect to the adjustment, compromising or settlement of any claim for Insurance Proceeds in an amount less than $250,000.

(iii)          Subject to Section 3.04(a)(iv), Lender shall apply any Insurance Proceeds which it may receive towards the Work in accordance with Section 3.04(b) and the other applicable sections of this Article III.

(iv)          If (A) an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, (B) Lender is not reasonably satisfied that the Debt Service Coverage, after substantial completion of

55




the Work, will be at least equal to the Required Debt Service Coverage, (C) more than thirty percent (30%) of the reasonably estimated fair market value of the Property is damaged or destroyed, (D) Lender is not reasonably satisfied that the Work can be completed six (6) months prior to Maturity or (E) Lender is not reasonably satisfied that the Work can be completed within twelve (12) months of the damage to or destruction of the Property (each, a “Substantial Casualty”), Lender shall have the option, in its sole discretion to apply any Insurance Proceeds it may receive pursuant to this Security Instrument (less any cost to Lender of recovering and paying out such proceeds incurred pursuant to the terms hereof and not otherwise reimbursed to Lender, including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses) to the payment of the Debt, without any prepayment fee or charge of any kind, or to allow such proceeds to be used for the Work pursuant to the terms and subject to the conditions of Section 3.04(b) hereof and the other applicable sections of this Article III.

(v)           In the event that Lender elects or is obligated hereunder to allow Insurance Proceeds to be used for the Work, any excess proceeds remaining after completion of such Work shall be applied to the payment of the Debt without any prepayment fee or charge of any kind.

(b)           If any Condemnation Proceeds in accordance with Section 6.01(a), or any Insurance Proceeds in accordance with Section 3.04(a), are to be applied to the repair, restoration or rebuilding of the Property, then such Condemnation Proceeds or Insurance Proceeds shall be deposited into a segregated interest-bearing bank account at the Bank, which shall be an Eligible Account, held by Lender and shall be paid out from time to time to Borrower as the Work progresses (less any cost to Lender of recovering and paying out such proceeds, including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs allocable to inspecting the Work and the plans and specifications therefor) subject to Section 5.13 hereof and to all of the following conditions:

(i)            An Independent architect or engineer selected by Borrower and reasonably acceptable to Lender (an “Architect” or “Engineer”) or a Person otherwise reasonably acceptable to Lender, shall have delivered to Lender a certificate estimating the cost of completing the Work, and, if the amount set forth therein is more than the sum of the amount of Insurance Proceeds then being held by Lender in connection with a casualty and amounts agreed to be paid as part of a final settlement under the insurance policy upon or before completion of the Work, Borrower shall have delivered to Lender (A) cash collateral in an amount equal to such excess, (B) an unconditional, irrevocable, clean sight draft letter of credit, in form, substance and issued by a bank reasonably acceptable to Lender, in the amount of such excess and draws on such letter of credit shall be made by Lender to make payments pursuant to this Article III following exhaustion of the Insurance Proceeds or Condemnation Proceeds, as applicable, therefor or (C) a completion bond in form, substance and issued by a surety company reasonably acceptable to Lender.

(ii)           If the cost of the Work is reasonably estimated by an Architect or Engineer in a certification reasonably acceptable to Lender to be equal to or exceed five percent (5%) of the Loan Amount, such Work shall be performed under the supervision of an Architect or Engineer, it being understood that the plans and specifications with

56




respect thereto shall provide for Work so that, upon completion thereof, the Property shall be at least equal in replacement value and general utility to the Property prior to the damage or destruction.

(iii)          Each request for payment shall be made on not less than ten (10) days’ prior notice to Lender and shall be accompanied by a certificate of an Architect or Engineer, or, if the Work is not required to be supervised by an Architect or Engineer, by an Officer’s Certificate stating (A) that payment is for Work completed in material compliance with the plans and specifications, if required under clause (ii) above, (B) that the sum requested is required to reimburse Borrower for payments by Borrower to date, or is due to the contractors, subcontractors, materialmen, laborers, engineers, architects or other Persons rendering services or materials for the Work (giving a brief description of such services and materials), and that when added to all sums previously paid out by Lender does not exceed the value of the Work done to the date of such certificate, (C) if the sum requested is to cover payment relating to repair and restoration of personal property required or relating to the Property, that title to the personal property items covered by the request for payment is vested in Borrower (unless Borrower is lessee of such personal property), and (D) that the Insurance Proceeds and/or letters of credit, completion and similar bonds, each of which is satisfactory to Lender in its reasonable discretion, and other amounts deposited by Borrower held by Lender after such payment is more than the estimated remaining cost to complete such Work; provided, however, that if such certificate is given by an Architect or Engineer, such Architect or Engineer shall certify as to clause (A) above, and such Officer’s Certificate shall certify as to the remaining clauses above, and provided, further, that Lender shall not be obligated to disburse such funds if Lender determines, in Lender’s reasonable discretion, that Borrower shall not be in compliance with this Section 3.04(b).  Additionally, each request for payment shall contain a statement signed by Borrower stating that the requested payment is for Work completed to date.

(iv)          Each request for payment shall be accompanied by waivers of lien, in customary form and substance, covering that part of the Work for which payment or reimbursement is being requested and, if required by Lender, a search prepared by a title company or licensed abstractor, or by other evidence reasonably satisfactory to Lender that there has not been filed with respect to the Property any mechanic’s or other lien or instrument for retention of title relating to any part of the Work not discharged of record.  Additionally, as to any personal property covered by the request for payment, Lender shall be furnished with evidence of Borrower having incurred a payment obligation therefor and such further evidence reasonably satisfactory to assure Lender that UCC filings therefor provide a valid first lien on the personal property.

(v)           Lender shall have the right to inspect the Work at all reasonable times upon reasonable prior notice and may condition any disbursement of Insurance Proceeds upon satisfactory compliance by Borrower with the provisions hereof.  Neither the approval by Lender of any required plans and specifications for the Work nor the inspection by Lender of the Work shall make Lender responsible for the preparation of

57




such plans and specifications, or the compliance of such plans and specifications of the Work, with any applicable law, regulation, ordinance, covenant or agreement.

(vi)          Insurance Proceeds shall not be disbursed more frequently than once every thirty (30) days.

(vii)         Until such time as the Work has been substantially completed, Lender shall not be obligated to disburse up to ten percent (10%) of the cost of the Work (the “Retention Amount”) to Borrower.  Upon substantial completion of the Work, Borrower shall send notice thereof to Lender and, subject to the conditions of Section 3.04(b)(i)-(iv), Lender shall disburse one-half of the Retention Amount to Borrower; provided, however, that the remaining one-half of the Retention Amount shall be disbursed to Borrower when Lender shall have received copies of any and all certificates of occupancy or other certificates, licenses and permits required for the ownership, occupancy and operation of the Property in accordance with all Legal Requirements.  Borrower hereby covenants to diligently seek to obtain any such certificates, licenses and permits.

(viii)        Upon failure on the part of Borrower promptly after a casualty or Taking to commence the Work or to proceed diligently and continuously to completion of the Work, which failure shall continue after notice for thirty (30) days, Lender may apply any Insurance Proceeds or Condemnation Proceeds it then or thereafter holds to the payment of the Debt in accordance with the provisions of the Note; provided, however, that Lender shall be entitled to apply at any time all or any portion of the Insurance Proceeds or Condemnation Proceeds it then holds to the extent necessary to cure any Event of Default.

(c)           If Borrower (i) within one hundred twenty (120) days after the occurrence of any damage to the Property or any portion thereof shall fail to submit to Lender for approval plans and specifications for the Work (approved by the Architect and by all Governmental Authorities whose approval is required), (ii) after any such plans and specifications are approved by all Governmental Authorities, the Architect and Lender, shall fail to promptly commence such Work after a casualty or Taking or (iii) shall fail to diligently prosecute such Work to completion, then, in addition to all other rights available hereunder, at law or in equity, Lender, or any receiver of the Property or any portion thereof, upon five (5) days’ prior notice to Borrower (except in the event of emergency in which case no notice shall be required), may (but shall have no obligation to) perform or cause to be performed such Work, and may take such other steps as it reasonably deems advisable.  Borrower hereby waives, for Borrower, any claim, other than for gross negligence or willful misconduct, against Lender and any receiver arising out of any act or omission of Lender or such receiver pursuant hereto, and Lender may apply all or any portion of the Insurance Proceeds (without the need to fulfill any other requirements of this Section 3.04) to reimburse Lender and such receiver, for all costs not reimbursed to Lender or such receiver upon demand together with interest thereon at the Default Rate from the date such amounts are advanced until the same are paid to Lender or the receiver.

(d)           Borrower hereby irrevocably appoints Lender as its attorney-in-fact, coupled with an interest, to collect and receive any Insurance Proceeds paid with respect to any portion of the

58




Property or the insurance policies required to be maintained hereunder, and to endorse any checks, drafts or other instruments representing any Insurance Proceeds whether payable by reason of loss thereunder or otherwise.

Section 3.05.  Compliance with Insurance Requirements.  Borrower promptly shall comply with, and shall cause the Property to comply with, all Insurance Requirements, even if such compliance requires structural changes or improvements or would result in interference with the use or enjoyment of the Property or any portion thereof provided Borrower shall have a right to contest in good faith and with diligence such Insurance Requirements provided (a) no Event of Default shall exist during such contest and such contest shall not subject the Property or any portion thereof to any lien or affect the priority of the lien of this Security Instrument, (b) failure to comply with such Insurance Requirements will not subject Lender, Trustee or any of their agents, employees, officers or directors to any civil or criminal liability, (c) such contest will not cause any reduction in insurance coverage, (d) such contest shall not affect the ownership, use or occupancy of the Property, (e) the Property or any part thereof or any interest therein shall not be in any danger of being sold, forfeited or lost by reason of such contest by Borrower, (f) Borrower has given Lender prompt notice of such contest and, upon request by Lender from time to time, notice of the status of such contest by Borrower and/or information of the continuing satisfaction of the conditions set forth in clauses (a) through (e) of this Section 3.05, (g) upon a final determination of such contest, Borrower shall promptly comply with the requirements thereof, and (h) prior to and during such contest, Borrower shall furnish to Lender security satisfactory to Lender, in its reasonable discretion, against loss or injury by reason of such contest or the non-compliance with such Insurance Requirement (and if such security is cash, Lender shall deposit the same in an interest-bearing account and interest accrued thereon, if any, shall be deemed to constitute a part of such security for purposes of this Security Instrument, but Lender (i) makes no representation or warranty as to the rate or amount of interest, if any, which may accrue thereon and shall have no liability in connection therewith and (ii) shall not be deemed to be a trustee or fiduciary with respect to its receipt of any such security and any such security may be commingled with other monies of Lender).  If Borrower shall use the Property or any portion thereof in any manner which could permit the insurer to cancel any insurance required to be provided hereunder, Borrower immediately shall obtain a substitute policy which shall satisfy the requirements of this Security Instrument and which shall be effective on or prior to the date on which any such other insurance policy shall be canceled.  Borrower shall not by any action or omission invalidate any insurance policy required to be carried hereunder unless such policy is replaced as aforesaid, or materially increase the premiums on any such policy above the normal premium charged for such policy.  Borrower shall cooperate with Lender in obtaining for Lender the benefits of any Insurance Proceeds lawfully or equitably payable to Lender in connection with the transaction contemplated hereby.

Section 3.06.  Event of Default During Restoration.   Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Security Instrument including, without limitation, the provisions of this Article III, if, at the time of any casualty affecting the Property or any part thereof, or at any time during any Work, or at any time that Lender is holding or is entitled to receive any Insurance Proceeds pursuant to this Security Instrument, a Default exists and is continuing (whether or not it constitutes an Event of Default), Lender shall then have no obligation to make such proceeds available for Work and Lender shall have the right and option, to be exercised in its sole and

59




absolute discretion and election, with respect to the Insurance Proceeds, either to retain and apply such proceeds in reimbursement for the actual costs, fees and expenses incurred by Lender in accordance with the terms hereof in connection with the adjustment of the loss and any balance toward payment of the Debt in such priority and proportions as Lender, in its sole discretion, shall deem proper, or towards the Work, upon such terms and conditions as Lender shall determine, or to cure an Event of Default, or to any one or more of the foregoing as Lender, in its sole and absolute discretion, may determine.  If Lender shall receive and retain such Insurance Proceeds, the lien of this Security Instrument shall be reduced only by the amount thereof received, after reimbursement to Lender of expenses of collection, and actually applied by Lender in reduction of the principal sum payable under the Note in accordance with the Note.

Section 3.07.  Application of Proceeds to Debt Reduction.  (a) No damage to the Property, or any part thereof, by fire or other casualty whatsoever, whether such damage be partial or total, shall relieve Borrower from its liability to pay in full the Debt and to perform its obligations under this Security Instrument and the other Loan Documents.

(b)           If any Insurance Proceeds are applied to reduce the Debt, Lender shall apply the same in accordance with the provisions of the Note.

ARTICLE IV:  IMPOSITIONS

(b)           Borrower shall, prior to the date upon which any fine, penalty, interest or cost for the nonpayment is imposed, pay or cause to be paid all charges for electricity, power, gas, water and other services and utilities in connection with the Property, and shall, upon request, deliver to Lender receipts or other documentation reasonably satisfactory to Lender evidencing payment thereof.  If Borrower shall fail to pay any amount required to be paid by Borrower pursuant to this Section 4.01 and is not contesting such charges in accordance with Section 4.04 hereof, Lender shall have the right, but shall not be obligated, to pay that amount, and Borrower will repay to Lender, on demand, any amount paid by Lender with interest thereon at the Default Rate from the date of the advance thereof to the date of repayment, and such amount shall constitute a portion of the Debt secured by this Security Instrument.

60




(c)           Borrower shall pay all taxes, charges, filing, registration and recording fees, excises and levies imposed upon Lender by reason of or in connection with its ownership of any Loan Document or any other instrument related thereto, or resulting from the execution, delivery and recording of, or the lien created by, or the obligation evidenced by, any of them, other than income, franchise and other similar taxes imposed on Lender and shall pay all corporate stamp taxes, if any, and other taxes, required to be paid on the Loan Documents other than taxes imposed on Lender’s income and franchise taxes imposed on Lender by the law or regulations of any Governmental Authority.  If Borrower shall fail to make any such payment within ten (10) days after written notice thereof from Lender, Lender shall have the right, but shall not be obligated, to pay the amount due, and Borrower shall reimburse Lender therefor, on demand, with interest thereon at the Default Rate from the date of the advance thereof to the date of repayment, and such amount shall constitute a portion of the Debt secured by this Security Instrument.

Section 4.02.  Deduction from Value.  In the event of the passage after the date of this Security Instrument of any Legal Requirement deducting from the value of the Property for the purpose of taxation, any lien thereon or changing in any way the Legal Requirements now in force for the taxation of this Security Instrument and/or the Debt for federal, state or local purposes, or the manner of the operation of any such taxes so as to adversely affect the interest of Lender, or imposing any tax or other charge on any Loan Document, then Borrower will pay such tax, with interest and penalties thereon, if any, within the statutory period.  In the event the payment of such tax or interest and penalties by Borrower would be unlawful, or taxable to Lender or unenforceable or provide the basis for a defense of usury, then in any such event, Lender shall have the option, by written notice of not less than thirty (30) days, to declare the Debt immediately due and payable, with no prepayment fee or charge of any kind.

Section 4.03.  No Joint Assessment.  Borrower shall not consent to or initiate the joint assessment of the Premises or the Improvements (a) with any other real property constituting a separate tax lot and Borrower represents and covenants that the Premises and the Improvements are and shall remain a separate tax lot or lots separate from other real property that is not part of the Premises or (b) with any portion of the Property which may be deemed to constitute personal property, or any other procedure whereby the lien of any taxes which may be levied against such personal property shall be assessed or levied or charged to the Property as a single lien.

Section 4.04.  Right to Contest.  Borrower shall have the right, after prior notice to Lender, at its sole expense, to contest by appropriate legal proceedings diligently conducted in good faith, without cost or expense to Lender or any of its agents, employees, officers or directors, the validity, amount or application of any Imposition or any charge described in Section 4.01(b), provided that (a) no Event of Default shall exist during such proceedings and such contest shall not (unless Borrower shall comply with clause (d) of this Section 4.04) subject the Property or any portion thereof to any lien or affect the priority of the lien of this Security Instrument, (b) failure to pay such Imposition or charge will not subject Lender, Trustee or any of their agents, employees, officers or directors to any civil or criminal liability, (c) the contest suspends enforcement of the Imposition or charge (unless Borrower first pays the Imposition or charge), (d) prior to and during such contest, Borrower shall furnish to Lender security satisfactory to Lender, in its reasonable discretion, against loss or injury by reason of such

61




contest or the non-payment of such Imposition or charge (and if such security is cash, Lender may deposit the same in an interest-bearing account and interest accrued thereon, if any, shall be deemed to constitute a part of such security for purposes of this Security Instrument, but Lender (i) makes no representation or warranty as to the rate or amount of interest, if any, which may accrue thereon and shall have no liability in connection therewith other than with respect to Lender’s gross negligence or willful misconduct and (ii) shall not be deemed to be a trustee or fiduciary with respect to its receipt of any such security and any such security may be commingled with other monies of Lender), (e) such contest shall not affect the ownership, use or occupancy of the Property, (f) the Property or any part thereof or any interest therein shall not be in any danger of being sold, forfeited or lost by reason of such contest by Borrower, (g) Borrower has given Lender notice of the commencement of such contest and upon request by Lender, from time to time, notice of the status of such contest by Borrower and/or confirmation of the continuing satisfaction of clauses (a) through (f) of this Section 4.04, and (h) upon a final determination of such contest, Borrower shall promptly comply with the requirements thereof.  Upon completion of any contest, Borrower shall immediately pay the amount due, if any, and deliver to Lender proof of the completion of the contest and payment of the amount due, if any, following which Lender shall return the security, if any, deposited with Lender pursuant to clause (d) of this Section 4.04.  Borrower shall not pay any Imposition in installments unless permitted by applicable Legal Requirements or the applicable Governmental Authority, and shall, upon the request of Lender, deliver copies of all notices and bills relating to any Imposition or other charge covered by this Article IV to Lender.

banks as may be reasonably satisfactory to Lender (the “Security Deposit Account”).  Borrower shall notify Lender of any security deposits held as letters of credit and, upon Lender’s request, such letters of credit shall be promptly delivered to Lender.  Borrower shall have no right to withdraw funds from the Security Deposit Account; provided that, as long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, Borrower may withdraw funds from the Security Deposit Account to refund or apply security deposits as required by the Leases or by applicable Legal Requirements.  After the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, all withdrawals from the Security Deposit Account must be approved by Lender.  All rental payments made by tenants and other payments constituting Rent, other than direct payments by credit cards which shall be paid directly into the Rent Account, shall be delivered to Manager.  Manager shall collect all of such Rent and shall deposit such funds, within one (1) Business Day after receipt thereof in the Rent Account, the name and address of the bank in which such account is located and the account number of which to be identified in writing by Manager to Lender.  Borrower shall cause Manager to give to the bank in which the Rent Account is located an irrevocable written instruction, in form and substance reasonably acceptable to Lender, that all funds deposited in such account shall be automatically transferred through automated clearing house funds (“ACH”) or by Federal wire to the Central Account prior to 5:00 p.m. (New York City time) on a daily basis.  On the Closing Date, Borrower shall deliver to Lender a copy of the irrevocable notice which Borrower delivered to the bank in which the Rent Account is located pursuant to the provisions of this Section 5.01, the receipt of which is acknowledged in writing by such bank.  Additionally, Borrower shall, or shall cause Manager to send to each respective credit card company or credit card clearing bank with which Borrower or Manager has entered into merchant’s agreements (each, a “Credit Card Company”) a direction letter in the form of Exhibit G annexed hereto and made a part hereof (the “Credit Card Payment Direction Letter”) directing such Credit Card Company to make all payments due in connection with goods or services furnished at or in connection with the Property by Federal wire or through ACH directly to the Rent Account.  Without the prior written consent of Lender, neither Borrower nor Manager shall (i) terminate, amend, revoke or modify any Credit Card Payment Direction Letter in any manner or (ii) direct or cause any Credit Card Company to pay any amount in any manner other than as specifically provided in the related Credit Card Payment Direction Letter.  Lender may elect to change the financial institution in which the Central Account shall be maintained; however, Lender shall give Borrower and the bank in which the Rent Account is located not fewer than five (5) Business Days’ prior notice of such change.  Neither Borrower nor Manager shall change such bank or the Rent Account without the prior written consent of Lender.  All fees and charges of the bank(s) in which the Rent Account and the Central Account are located shall be paid by Borrower.

Section 5.02.  Establishment of AccountsLender has established the Escrow Accounts and the Central Account in the name of Lender as secured party and Borrower has established the Rent Account in the joint names of Lender, as secured party, and Borrower.  The Rent Account, the Central Account and the Escrow Accounts shall be under the sole dominion and control of Lender and funds held therein shall not constitute trust funds.  Borrower hereby irrevocably directs and authorizes Lender to withdraw funds from the Rent Account, the Central Account and the Escrow Accounts, all in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Security Instrument.  Borrower shall have no right of withdrawal in respect of the Rent Account, the Central Account or the Escrow Accounts.  Each transfer of funds to be made hereunder shall

63




be made only to the extent that funds are on deposit in the Rent Account or the Central Account or the affected Sub-Account or Escrow Account, and Lender shall have no responsibility to make additional funds available in the event that funds on deposit are insufficient.  The Central Account shall contain the Basic Carrying Costs Sub-Account, the Debt Service Payment Sub-Account, the Recurring Replacement Reserve Sub-Account, the SAOT Sub-Account, the Operation and Maintenance Expense Sub-Account and the Curtailment Reserve Sub-Account, each of which accounts shall be Eligible Accounts or book-entry sub-accounts of an Eligible Account (each a “Sub-Account” and collectively, the “Sub-Accounts”) to which certain funds shall be allocated and from which disbursements shall be made pursuant to the terms of this Security Instrument.  Sums held in the Escrow Accounts may be commingled with other monies held by Lender.

Section 5.03.  Intentionally Omitted.

Section 5.04.  Servicing Fees.  At the option of Lender, the Loan may be serviced by a servicer (the “Servicer”) selected by Lender and Lender may delegate all or any portion of its responsibilities under this Security Instrument to the Servicer.  Provided that no Default has occurred and is continuing, Borrower shall have no obligation to reimburse Lender for servicing fees incurred in connection with the ordinary, routine servicing of the Loan; provided, however, that Borrower shall reimburse Lender for (a) any and all out of pocket costs and expenses incurred after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default or as a result of an Event of Default (but not including special servicing fees unless Lender forecloses on the lien of this Security Instrument or exercises any power of sale granted hereunder) and (b) as otherwise provided for in this Security Instrument.

Section 5.05.  Monthly Funding of Sub-Accounts and Escrow Accounts.  (a) On or before each Payment Date during the term of the Loan, commencing on the first (1st) Payment Date occurring after the month in which the Loan is initially funded, Borrower shall pay or cause to be paid to the Central Account (including from the Rent Account) all sums required to be deposited in the Sub-Accounts pursuant to this Section 5.05(a) and all funds transferred or deposited into the Central Account shall be allocated among the Sub-Accounts as follows and in the following priority:

(ii)           second, to the Basic Carrying Costs Sub-Account, until an amount equal to the Basic Carrying Costs Monthly Installment for such Interest Accrual Period has been allocated to the Basic Carrying Costs Sub-Account;

(iii)          third, to the Debt Service Payment Sub-Account, until an amount equal to the Required Debt Service Payment for the Payment Date occurring for such Interest Accrual Period has been allocated to the Debt Service Payment Sub-Account, it being acknowledged that any sums deposited into the Central Account for such Interest Accrual Period by Borrower which are allocated to the Debt Service Payment Sub-Account for

64




such Interest Accrual Period shall be credited towards sums required to be deposited therein by Borrower;

(iv)          fourth, to the Operation and Maintenance Expense Sub-Account in an amount equal to the Cash Expenses, other than management fees in excess of four percent (4%) of total revenues of the Property, for such Interest Accrual Period pursuant to the related Approved Annual Budget;

(v)           fifth, to the Operation and Maintenance Expense Sub-Account in an amount equal to the amount, if any, of the Net Capital Expenditures for such Interest Accrual Period pursuant to the related Approved Annual Budget;

(vi)          sixth, to the Operation and Maintenance Expense Sub-Account until an amount equal to the amount, if any, of the Extraordinary Expenses approved by Lender for such Interest Accrual Period;

(vii)         seventh, to the Recurring Replacement Reserve Sub-Account, until an amount equal to the Recurring Replacement Reserve Monthly Installment for such Interest Accrual Period has been allocated to the Recurring Replacement Reserve Sub-Account; and

(viii)        eighth, but only during an O&M Operative Period, the balance, if any, to the Curtailment Reserve Sub-Account.

Provided that no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, Lender agrees that in each Interest Accrual Period any amounts deposited into or remaining in the Central Account after the Sub-Accounts have been funded as set forth in this Section 5.05(a) with respect to such Interest Accrual Period and any periods prior thereto, shall be disbursed by Lender to Borrower on the Payment Date applicable to such Interest Accrual Period.  In addition, Lender shall pay and apply all funds on deposit in the Sub-Accounts from time to time in accordance with Sections 5.06 through 5.11, as applicable.  The balance of the funds distributed to Borrower after payment of all Operating Expenses by or on behalf of Borrower may be retained by Borrower.  After the occurrence, and during the continuance, of an Event of Default, no such excess funds held in the Central Account shall be distributed to, or withdrawn by, Borrower, and Lender shall have the right to apply all or any portion of the funds held in the Central Account or any Sub-Account or any Escrow Account (excluding the SAOT Sub-Account) to the Debt in Lender’s sole discretion.

(b)           On each Payment Date, or with respect to sums in the Operation and Maintenance Sub-Account and SAOT Sub-Account, on Wednesday of each week unless such day is not a Business Day, in which case on the first Business Day thereafter, (i) sums held in the Basic Carrying Costs Sub-Account shall be transferred to the Basic Carrying Costs Escrow Account, (ii) sums held in the Debt Service Payment Sub-Account, together with any amounts deposited into the Central Account that are either (x) Loss Proceeds that Lender has elected to apply to reduce the Debt in accordance with the terms of Article III hereof or (y) excess Loss Proceeds remaining after the completion of any restoration required hereunder, shall be transferred to Lender to be applied towards the Required Debt Service Payment, (iii) sums held in the SAOT

Section 5.06.  Payment of Basic Carrying Costs.  Borrower hereby agrees to pay all Basic Carrying Costs (without regard to the amount of money in the Basic Carrying Costs Sub-Account or the Basic Carrying Costs Escrow Account).  At least ten (10) Business Days prior to the due date of any Basic Carrying Costs, and not more frequently than once each month, Borrower may notify Lender in writing and request that Lender pay such Basic Carrying Costs on behalf of Borrower on or prior to the due date thereof, and, provided that no Event of Default has occurred and that there are sufficient funds available in the Basic Carrying Costs Escrow Account, Lender shall make such payments out of the Basic Carrying Costs Escrow Account before same shall be delinquent.  Together with each such request, Borrower shall furnish Lender with bills and all other documents necessary, as reasonably determined by Lender, for the payment of the Basic Carrying Costs which are the subject of such request. Borrower’s obligation to pay (or cause Lender to pay) Basic Carrying Costs pursuant to this Security Instrument shall include, to the extent permitted by applicable law, Impositions resulting from future changes in law which impose upon Lender an obligation to pay any property taxes or other Impositions or which otherwise adversely affect Lender’s interests.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that Lender receives a tax bill directly from a Governmental Authority relating to any Impositions, Lender shall pay all sums due thereunder prior to the date such Impositions would accrue late charges or interest thereon or within ten (10) Business Days of the receipt of such tax bill, whichever is later.  In making any payment of Impositions, Lender may rely on any bill, statement or estimate obtained from the applicable Governmental Authority without inquiry into the accuracy of such bill, statement or estimate or into the validity of any Imposition or claim with respect thereto.

Provided that no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, all funds deposited into the Basic Carrying Costs Escrow Account shall be held by Lender pursuant to the provisions of this Security Instrument and shall be applied in payment of Basic Carrying Costs in accordance with the terms hereof.  Should an Event of Default occur and be continuing, the sums on deposit in the Basic Carrying Costs Sub-Account and the Basic Carrying Costs Escrow Account may be applied by Lender in payment of any Basic Carrying Costs or may be applied to the payment of the Debt or any other charges affecting all or any portion of the Property as Lender in its sole discretion may determine; provided, however, that no such application shall be deemed to have been made by operation of law or otherwise until actually made by Lender as herein provided.

Section 5.07.  SAOT Escrow Account.  Borrower agrees to pay all SAOT Expenditures (without regard to the amount of money then available in the SAOT Sub-Account or the SAOT Escrow Account).  Lender will, at Lender’s option, either, (a) apply funds in the SAOT Escrow Account to payments of SAOT Expenditures required to be made by Borrower to the appropriate Governmental Authorities, provided that Borrower has promptly supplied Lender with notices of

66




all SAOT Expenditures due or has certified to Lender that such funds are required to make payments of SAOT Expenditures required to be made by Borrower, (b) reimburse Borrower for such amounts upon presentation of evidence of payment by Borrower of such SAOT Expenditures or (c) release to Borrower funds in the SAOT Escrow Account for payment of SAOT Expenditures required to be made by Borrower to the appropriate Governmental Authorities, provided that Borrower has promptly supplied Lender with notices of all SAOT Expenditures due or has certified to Lender that such funds will be used to make payments of SAOT Expenditures required to be made by Borrower.

Provided that no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, all funds deposited into the SAOT Escrow Account shall be held by Lender pursuant to the provisions of this Security Instrument and shall be disbursed to Borrower for payment of SAOT Expenditures.  Should an Event of Default occur, the sums on deposit in the SAOT Sub-Account and the SAOT Escrow Account may be applied by Lender in payment of any SAOT Expenditures.

Section 5.08.  Recurring Replacement Reserve Escrow Account.  Borrower hereby agrees to pay all Recurring Replacement Expenditures with respect to the Property (without regard to the amount of money then available in the Recurring Replacement Reserve Sub-Account or the Recurring Replacement Reserve Escrow Account).  Provided that Lender has received written notice from Borrower and not more frequently than once each month, and further provided that no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, that there are sufficient funds available in the Recurring Replacement Reserve Escrow Account and Borrower shall have theretofore furnished Lender with lien waivers, copies of bills, invoices and other reasonable documentation as may be required by Lender to establish that the Recurring Replacement Expenditures which are the subject of such request represent amounts due for completed or partially completed capital work and improvements performed at the Property, Lender shall make such payments out of the Recurring Replacement Reserve Escrow Account or shall reimburse Borrower out of the Recurring Replacement Reserve Escrow Account if Borrower delivers to Lender evidence satisfactory to Lender evidencing prior payment for the Recurring Replacement Expenditures which are the subject of the draw request or an Officer’s Certificate certifying that the funds will be used to pay for the Recurring Replacement Expenditures which are the subject of the draw request together with evidence reasonably satisfactory to Lender evidencing payment in full for all Recurring Replacement Expenditures which were the subject of prior draw requests with respect to which Borrower did not deliver such proof.

Provided that no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, all funds deposited into the Recurring Replacement Reserve Escrow Account shall be held by Lender pursuant to the provisions of this Security Instrument and shall be applied in payment of Recurring Replacement Expenditures.  Should an Event of Default occur and be continuing, the sums on deposit in the Recurring Replacement Reserve Sub-Account and the Recurring Replacement Reserve Escrow Account may be applied by Lender in payment of any Recurring Replacement Expenditures or may be applied to the payment of the Debt or any other charges affecting all or any portion of the Property, as Lender in its sole discretion may determine; provided, however, that no such application shall be deemed to have been made by operation of law or otherwise until actually made by Lender as herein provided.

67




Section 5.09.  Operation and Maintenance Expense Escrow Account.  Borrower hereby agrees to pay all Operating Expenses with respect to the Property (without regard to the amount of money then available in the Operation and Maintenance Expense Sub-Account or the Operation and Maintenance Expense Escrow Account).  All funds allocated to the Operation and Maintenance Expense Escrow Account shall be held by Lender pursuant to the provisions of this Security Instrument.  Provided no O&M Operative Period has occurred and is continuing, either (a) Lender shall disburse to Borrower from the Operation and Maintenance Expense Escrow Account on each Payment Date an amount equal to (i) the Operating Expenses set forth in the Approved Annual Budget for such month provided for in the Approved Annual Budget plus (ii) the Third Party Disbursements which have been substantiated in a manner reasonably acceptable to Lender and (iii) any Extraordinary Expenses for which sums have been deposited into the Operation and Maintenance Expense Escrow Account pursuant to Section 5.05 hereof ((i), (ii) and (iii) are hereinafter referred to as an “Operating Expense Disbursement”) or (b) if requested by Borrower and if sufficient funds have been collected in the Central Account to make the payments required under clauses (i) - (iv) of Section 5.05(a) hereof on the next succeeding Payment Date, Borrower shall be entitled to request disbursements from the Operation and Maintenance Expense Escrow Account on a weekly basis, for payment of the Operating Expense Disbursement incurred or to be incurred during the then-current Interest Accrual Period or during any prior Interest Accrual Period.  During the continuance of an O&M Operative Period, Lender shall disburse funds held in the Operation and Maintenance Expense Escrow Account to Borrower on a weekly basis, within ten (10) days after delivery by Borrower to Lender of a request therefor, in increments of at least $1,000, provided (a) such disbursement is for the Operating Expense Disbursement; and (b) such disbursement is accompanied by (i) an Officer’s Certificate provided monthly certifying (A) that such funds will be used to pay Operating Expenses set forth in the Approved Annual Budget and a description thereof, (B) that all outstanding trade payables (other than those to be paid from the requested disbursement or those permitted pursuant to Section 2.02(g)(viii)(C) hereof) have been paid in full, (C) that the same has not been the subject of a previous disbursement, and (D) that all previous disbursements have been or will be used to pay the previously identified Operating Expenses set forth in the Approved Annual Budget, and (B) reasonably detailed documentation satisfactory to Lender as to the amount, necessity and purpose therefor.  Should an Event of Default occur and be continuing, the sums on deposit in the Operation and Maintenance Expense Sub-Account or the Operation and Maintenance Expense Escrow Account may be applied by Lender in payment of any Operating Expenses for the Property or may be applied to the payment of the Debt or any other charges affecting all or any portion of the Property as Lender, in its sole discretion, may determine; provided, however, that no such application shall be deemed to have been made by operation of law or otherwise until actually made by Lender as herein provided.  During any O&M Operative Period, the management fee payable to Manager shall be limited to 4% per annum of the total revenues of the Property and shall not include the 2.5% Allocable Chain Expense (as defined in the Management Agreement).  Failure to pay such 2.5% Allocable Chain Expense shall not be a default under the Management Agreement.

Section 5.10.  Rate Cap Agreement.  Borrower shall at all times during the term of the Loan maintain the Rate Cap Agreement at all times during the term of the Loan which shall be in form and substance and issued by a bank reasonably acceptable to Lender, and shall pay all fees, charges and expenses incurred in connection therewith.  Borrower shall comply with all of its

68




obligations under the terms of the Rate Cap Agreement.  All amounts paid by the issuer of the Rate Cap Agreement (the “Counterparty”) to Borrower or Lender shall be deposited immediately into the Central Account.  Borrower shall take all actions reasonably requested by Lender to enforce Lender’s rights under the Rate Cap Agreement in the event of a default by the Counterparty.  In the event that (a) the long-term unsecured debt obligations of the Counterparty are downgraded by the Rating Agency below “A+” or its equivalent or (b) the Counterparty shall default in any of its obligations under the Rate Cap Agreement, Borrower shall, at the request of Lender, promptly but in all events within thirty (30) days, replace the Rate Cap Agreement with an agreement having identical payment terms and maturity as the Rate Cap Agreement and which is otherwise in form and substance substantially similar to the Rate Cap Agreement and otherwise acceptable to Lender with a cap provider, the long-term unsecured debt of which is rated at least “AA-” (or its equivalent) by each Rating Agency, or which will allow each Rating Agency to reaffirm their then current ratings of all rated certificates issued in connection with the Securitization.  In the event that Borrower fails to maintain the Rate Cap Agreement as provided in this Section 5.10, Lender may purchase the Rate Cap Agreement and the cost incurred by Lender in connection therewith shall be paid by Borrower to Lender with interest thereon at the Default Rate from the date such cost is incurred until such cost is paid by Borrower to Lender.

Section 5.11.  Curtailment Reserve Escrow Account.  Funds deposited into the Curtailment Reserve Escrow Account shall be held by Lender in the Curtailment Reserve Escrow Account as additional security for the Loan until the Loan has been paid in full; provided, that whenever, from time to time, the Debt Service Coverage exceeds 1.10:1.0 for two (2) consecutive calendar quarters, Lender shall, promptly upon written request from Borrower, release all sums contained in the Curtailment Reserve Escrow Account to Borrower.  In the event the Debt Service Coverage is 1.05:1.0 or lower for one or more calendar quarters, Lender may, in its sole discretion, apply any sums in the Curtailment Reserve Escrow Account to the Debt, without any prepayment fee or charge of any kind.  Should an Event of Default occur and be continuing, the sums on deposit in the Curtailment Reserve Sub-Account and the Curtailment Reserve Escrow Account may be applied by Lender to the payment of the Debt or other charges affecting all or any portion of the Property, as Lender, in its sole discretion, may determine; provided, however, that no such application shall be deemed to have been made by operation of law or otherwise until actually made by Lender as herein provided.

Section 5.12.  Performance of Engineering Work.  (a) Lender shall reimburse Borrower for Required Engineering Work with respect to which Borrower wishes to withdraw sums from the Engineering Escrow Account, not more frequently than once each month, provided that no Event of Default has occurred, that there are sufficient funds available in the Engineering Escrow Account to make such reimbursement and Borrower shall have theretofore furnished Lender with lien waivers, copies of bills, invoices and other reasonable documentation as may be required by Lender to establish that the Required Engineering Work which is the subject of such request represent amounts due for completed or partially completed capital work and improvements performed at the Property, in which case Lender shall make such payments out of the Engineering Escrow Account.  In order to request such a reimbursement for Required Engineering Work, Borrower shall submit to Lender for Lender’s written approval a reimbursement request for such Required Engineering Work not later than fifteen (15) days prior to the date for which such reimbursement is requested, in form reasonably satisfactory to Lender

69




setting forth in reasonable detail the basis for Borrower’s request and a detailed description of the completed or partially completed capital work and improvements performed at the Property.  Lender shall have the right to approve such request, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, and in the event that Lender objects to the proposed request submitted by Borrower, Lender shall advise Borrower of such objections within fifteen (15) days after receipt thereof (and deliver to Borrower a reasonably detailed description of such objections) and Borrower may, within ten (10) days after receipt of notice of any such objections revise such request and resubmit the same to Lender whereupon Lender agrees to review such new submission.

(b)           Should an Event of Default occur and be continuing, the sums on deposit in the Engineering Escrow Account may be applied by Lender in payment of any Required Engineering Work or may be applied to the payment of the Debt or any other charges affecting all or any portion of the Property, as Lender in its sole discretion may determine; provided, however, that no such application shall be deemed to have been made by operation of law or otherwise until actually made by Lender as herein provided

Section 5.13.  Loss Proceeds.  In the event of a casualty to the Property, unless Lender elects, or is required pursuant to Article III hereof to make all of the Insurance Proceeds available to Borrower for restoration, Lender and Borrower shall cause all such Insurance Proceeds to be paid by the insurer directly to the Central Account, whereupon Lender shall, after deducting Lender’s costs of recovering and paying out such Insurance Proceeds, including without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees, apply the same to reduce the Debt in accordance with the terms of the Note; provided, however, that if Lender elects, or is deemed to have elected, to make the Insurance Proceeds available for restoration, all Insurance Proceeds in respect of rent loss, business interruption or similar coverage shall be maintained in the Central Account, to be applied by Lender in the same manner as Rent received with respect to the operation of the Property; provided, further, however, that in the event that the Insurance Proceeds with respect to such rent loss, business interruption or similar insurance policy are paid in a lump sum in advance, Lender shall hold such Insurance Proceeds in a segregated interest-bearing escrow account, which shall be an Eligible Account, shall estimate, in Lender’s reasonable discretion, the number of months required for Borrower to restore the damage caused by the casualty, shall divide the aggregate rent loss, business interruption or similar Insurance Proceeds by such number of months, and shall disburse from such bank account into the Central Account each month during the performance of such restoration such monthly installment of said Insurance Proceeds.  In the event that Insurance Proceeds are to be applied toward restoration, Lender shall hold such funds in a segregated bank account at the Bank, which shall be an Eligible Account, and shall disburse same in accordance with the provisions of Section 3.04 hereof.  Unless Lender elects, or is required pursuant to Section 6.01 hereof to make all of the Condemnation Proceeds available to Borrower for restoration, Lender and Borrower shall cause all such Condemnation Proceeds to be paid to the Central Account, whereupon Lender shall, after deducting Lender’s costs of recovering and paying out such Condemnation Proceeds, including without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees, apply same to reduce the Debt in accordance with the terms of the Note; provided, however, that any Condemnation Proceeds received in connection with a temporary Taking shall be maintained in the Central Account, to be applied by Lender in the same manner as Rent received with respect to the operation of the Property; provided, further, however, that in the event that the Condemnation Proceeds of any

70




such temporary Taking are paid in a lump sum in advance, Lender shall hold such Condemnation Proceeds in a segregated interest-bearing bank account, which shall be an Eligible Account, shall estimate, in Lender’s reasonable discretion, the number of months that the Property shall be affected by such temporary Taking, shall divide the aggregate Condemnation Proceeds in connection with such temporary Taking by such number of months, and shall disburse from such bank account into the Central Account each month during the pendency of such temporary Taking such monthly installment of said Condemnation Proceeds.  In the event that Condemnation Proceeds are to be applied toward restoration, Lender shall hold such funds in a segregated bank account at the Bank, which shall be an Eligible Account, and shall disburse same in accordance with the provisions of Section 3.04 hereof.  If any Loss Proceeds are received by Borrower, such Loss Proceeds shall be received in trust for Lender, shall be segregated from other funds of Borrower, and shall be forthwith paid into the Central Account, or paid to Lender to hold in a segregated bank account at the Bank, in each case to be applied or disbursed in accordance with the foregoing.  Any Loss Proceeds made available to Borrower for restoration in accordance herewith, to the extent not used by Borrower in connection with, or to the extent they exceed the cost of, such restoration, shall be deposited into the Central Account, whereupon Lender shall apply the same to reduce the Debt in accordance with the terms of the Note.

ARTICLE VI:  CONDEMNATION

Section 6.01.  Condemnation.  (a)  Borrower shall notify Lender promptly of the commencement or threat of any Taking of the Property or any portion thereof.  Lender is hereby irrevocably appointed as Borrower’s attorney-in-fact, coupled with an interest, with exclusive power to collect, receive and retain the proceeds of any such Taking as to which Borrower is or may be entitled and to make any compromise or settlement in connection with such proceedings (subject to Borrower’s reasonable approval, except after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, in which event Borrower’s approval shall not be required), subject to the provisions of this Security Instrument; provided, however, that Borrower may participate in any such proceedings (without regard to the extent of the Taking) and Borrower shall be authorized and entitled to compromise or settle any such proceeding with respect to Condemnation Proceeds in an amount less than five percent (5%) of the Loan Amount.  Borrower shall execute and deliver to Lender any and all instruments reasonably required in connection with any such proceeding promptly after request therefor by Lender.  Except as set forth above, Borrower shall not adjust, compromise, settle or enter into any agreement with respect to such proceedings without the prior consent of Lender.  All Condemnation Proceeds are hereby assigned to and shall be paid to Lender to be applied in accordance with the terms hereof.  With respect to Condemnation Proceeds in an amount in excess of five percent (5%) of the Loan Amount, Borrower hereby authorizes Lender to compromise, settle, collect and receive such Condemnation Proceeds, and to give proper receipts and acquittance therefor.  Subject to the provisions of this Article VI, Lender may apply such Condemnation Proceeds (less any cost to Lender of recovering and paying out such proceeds, including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements and costs allocable to inspecting any repair, restoration or rebuilding work and the plans and specifications therefor) toward the payment of the Debt or to allow such proceeds to be used for the Work.

71




(b)           Substantial Taking” shall mean (i) a Taking of such portion of the Property that would, in Lender’s reasonable discretion, leave remaining a balance of the Property which would not under then current economic conditions, applicable Development Laws and other applicable Legal Requirements, permit the restoration of the Property so as to constitute a complete, rentable facility of the same type as existed prior to the Taking, having adequate ingress and egress to the Property, capable of producing a projected Net Operating Income (as reasonably determined by Lender) yielding a projected Debt Service Coverage therefrom for the next two (2) years of not less than the Required Debt Service Coverage or (ii) a Taking which Lender is not reasonably satisfied could be repaired within twelve (12) months and at least six (6) months prior to the Maturity Date or (iii) a Taking of fifteen percent (15%) or more of the Premises.

(c)           In the case of a Substantial Taking, Condemnation Proceeds shall be payable to Lender in reduction of the Debt but without any prepayment fee or charge of any kind and, if Borrower elects to apply any Condemnation Proceeds it may receive pursuant to this Security Instrument to the payment of the Debt, Borrower may prepay the balance of the Debt without any prepayment fee or charge of any kind.

(d)           In the event of a Taking which is less than a Substantial Taking, Borrower at its sole cost and expense (whether or not the award shall have been received or shall be sufficient for restoration) shall proceed diligently to restore, or cause the restoration of, the remaining Improvements not so taken, to maintain a complete, rentable, self-contained fully operational facility of the same sort as existed prior to the Taking in as good a condition as is reasonably possible.  In the event of such a Taking, Lender shall receive the Condemnation Proceeds and shall pay over the same:

(i)            first, provided no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, to Borrower to the extent of any portion of the award as may be necessary to pay the reasonable cost of restoration of the Improvements remaining, and

(ii)           second, to Lender, in reduction of the Debt without any prepayment premium or charge of any kind.

If one or more Takings in the aggregate create a Substantial Taking, then, in such event, the sections of this Article VI above applicable to Substantial Takings shall apply.

(e)           In the event Lender is obligated to or elects to make Condemnation Proceeds available for the restoration or rebuilding of the Property, such proceeds shall be disbursed in the manner and subject to the conditions set forth in Section 3.04(b) hereof.  If, in accordance with this Article VI, any Condemnation Proceeds are used to reduce the Debt, they shall be applied in accordance with the provisions of the Note and, with no prepayment fee or charge of any kind.  Borrower shall promptly upon request by Lender execute and deliver all instruments requested by Lender for the purpose of confirming the assignment of the Condemnation Proceeds to Lender.  Application of all or any part of the Condemnation Proceeds to the Debt shall be made in accordance with the provisions of Sections 3.06 and 3.07 hereof.  No application of the Condemnation Proceeds to the reduction of the Debt shall have the effect of releasing the lien of this Security Instrument until the remainder of the Debt has been paid in full.  In the case of any Taking, Lender, to the extent that Lender has not been reimbursed by Borrower, shall be entitled,

72




as a first priority out of any Condemnation Proceeds, to reimbursement for all costs, fees and expenses reasonably incurred in the determination and collection of any Condemnation Proceeds.  All Condemnation Proceeds deposited with Lender pursuant to this Section, until expended or applied as provided herein, shall be held in accordance with Section 3.04(b) hereof and shall constitute additional security for the payment of the Debt and the payment and performance of Borrower’s obligations, but Lender shall not be deemed a trustee or other fiduciary with respect to its receipt of such Condemnation Proceeds or any part thereof.  All awards so deposited with Lender shall be held by Lender in an Eligible Account, but Lender makes no representation or warranty as to the rate or amount of interest, if any, which may accrue on any such deposit and shall have no liability in connection therewith other than with respect to Lender’s gross negligence or willful misconduct.  For purposes hereof, any reference to the award shall be deemed to include interest, if any, which has accrued thereon.

ARTICLE VII:  LEASES AND RENTS

Section 7.01.  Assignment.  (a) Borrower does hereby bargain, sell, assign and set over unto Lender, all of Borrower’s interest in the Leases and Rents.  The assignment of Leases and Rents in this Section 7.01 is an absolute, unconditional and present assignment from Borrower to Lender and not an assignment for security and the existence or exercise of Borrower’s revocable license to collect Rent shall not operate to subordinate this assignment to any subsequent assignment.  The exercise by Lender of any of its rights or remedies pursuant to this Section 7.01 shall not be deemed to make Lender a mortgagee-in-possession.  In addition to the provisions of this Article VII, Borrower shall comply with all terms, provisions and conditions of the Assignment.

(b)           So long as there shall exist and be continuing no Event of Default, Borrower shall have a revocable license to take all actions with respect to all Leases and Rents, present and future, including the right to collect and use the Rents, subject to the terms of this Security Instrument and the Assignment.

(c)           In a separate instrument Borrower shall, as requested from time to time by Lender, assign to Lender or its nominee by specific or general assignment, any and all Leases, such assignments to be in form and content reasonably acceptable to Lender, but subject to the provisions of Section 7.01(b) hereof.  Borrower agrees to deliver to Lender, within thirty (30) days after Lender’s request, a true and complete copy of every Lease and, within ten (10) Business Days after Lender’s request, a complete list of the Leases, certified by Borrower to be true, accurate and complete and stating the demised premises, the names of the lessees, the Rent payable under the Leases, the date to which such Rents have been paid, the material terms of the Leases, including, without limitation, the dates of occupancy, the dates of expiration, any Rent concessions, work obligations or other inducements granted to the lessees thereunder, and any renewal options.

(d)           The rights of Lender contained in this Article VII, the Assignment or any other assignment of any Lease shall not result in any obligation or liability of Lender to Borrower or any lessee under a Lease or any party claiming through any such lessee.

73




(e)           At any time after and during the continuance of an Event of Default, the license granted hereinabove may be revoked by Lender, and Lender or a receiver appointed in accordance with this Security Instrument may enter upon the Property, and collect, retain and apply the Rents toward payment of the Debt in such priority and proportions as Lender in its sole discretion shall deem proper.

(f)            In addition to the rights which Lender may have herein, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, Lender, at its option, may require Borrower to pay monthly in advance to Lender, or any receiver appointed to collect the Rents, the fair and reasonable rental value for the use and occupation of such part of the Property as may be used and occupied by Borrower and may require Borrower to vacate and surrender possession of the Property to Lender or to such receiver and, in default thereof, Borrower may be evicted by summary proceedings or otherwise.

Section 7.02.  Management of Property.  (a) Borrower shall manage the Property or cause the Property to be managed in a manner which is consistent with the Approved Manager Standard.  All Space Leases shall provide for rental rates comparable to then existing local market rates and terms and conditions which constitute good and prudent business practice and are consistent with prevailing market terms and conditions, and shall be arms-length transactions.  All Leases shall provide that they are subordinate to this Security Instrument and that the lessees thereunder attorn to Lender.  Borrower shall deliver copies of all Leases, amendments, modifications and renewals thereof to Lender. All proposed Leases for the Property shall be subject to the prior written approval of Lender (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed), provided, however that Borrower may enter into new leases with unrelated third parties without obtaining the prior consent of Lender provided that: (i) the proposed tenant is unrelated to a tenant under an existing Lease; (ii) the proposed leases conform with the requirements of this Section 7.02; (iii) the space to be leased pursuant to such proposed lease does not exceed 5,000 square feet; and (iv) the term of the proposed lease inclusive of all extensions and renewals, does not exceed five (5) years.

(b)           Borrower (i) shall observe and perform all of its material obligations under the Leases pursuant to applicable Legal Requirements and shall not do or permit to be done anything to impair the value of the Leases as security for the Debt; (ii) shall promptly send copies to Lender of all notices of default which Borrower shall receive under the Leases; (iii) shall, consistent with the Approved Manager Standard, enforce all of the material terms, covenants and conditions contained in the Leases to be observed or performed; (iv) shall not collect any of the Rents under the Leases more than one (1) month in advance (except that Borrower may collect in advance such security deposits as are permitted pursuant to applicable Legal Requirements and are commercially reasonable in the prevailing market); (v) shall not execute any other assignment of lessor’s interest in the Leases or the Rents except as otherwise expressly permitted pursuant to this Security Instrument; (vi) shall not cancel or terminate any of the Leases or accept a surrender thereof in any manner inconsistent with the Approved Manager Standard; (vii) shall not convey, transfer or suffer or permit a conveyance or transfer of all or any part of the Premises or the Improvements or of any interest therein so as to effect a merger of the estates and rights of, or a termination or diminution of the obligations of, lessees thereunder; (viii) shall not alter, modify or change the terms of any guaranty of any Major Space Lease or cancel or terminate any

74




such guaranty; (ix) shall, in accordance with the Approved Manager Standard, make all reasonable efforts to seek lessees for space as it becomes vacant and enter into Leases in accordance with the terms hereof; (x) shall not cancel or terminate or materially modify, alter or amend any Major Space Lease or Property Agreement without Lender’s consent, which consent will not be unreasonably withheld or delayed; (xi) shall notify Lender promptly if any Pad Owner shall cease business operations or of the occurrence of any event of which it becomes aware affecting a Pad Owner or its property which could reasonably be expected to have any material effect on the Property; and (xii) shall, without limitation to any other provision hereof, execute and deliver at the request of Lender all such further assurances, confirmations and assignments in connection with the Property as are required herein and as Lender shall from time to time reasonably require.

(c)           All security deposits of lessees, whether held in cash or any other form, shall be treated by Borrower as trust funds, shall not be commingled with any other funds of Borrower and, if cash, shall be deposited by Borrower in the Security Deposit Account.  Any bond or other instrument which Borrower is permitted to hold in lieu of cash security deposits under applicable Legal Requirements shall be maintained in full force and effect unless replaced by cash deposits as hereinabove described, shall be issued by a Person reasonably satisfactory to Lender, shall, if permitted pursuant to Legal Requirements, at Lender’s option, name Lender as payee or mortgagee thereunder or be fully assignable to Lender and shall, in all respects, comply with applicable Legal Requirements and otherwise be reasonably satisfactory to Lender.  Borrower shall, upon request, provide Lender with evidence reasonably satisfactory to Lender of Borrower’s compliance with the foregoing.  Following the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, Borrower shall, upon Lender’s request, if permitted by applicable Legal Requirements, turn over the security deposits (and any interest thereon) to Lender to be held by Lender in accordance with the terms of the Leases and all Legal Requirements.

(d)           If requested by Lender, Borrower shall furnish, or shall cause the applicable lessee to furnish, to Lender financial data and/or financial statements in accordance with Regulation AB for any lessee of the Property if, in connection with a Securitization, Lender expects there to be, with respect to such lessee or any group of affiliated lessees, a concentration within all of the mortgage loans included or expected to be included, as applicable, in such Securitization such that such lessee or group of affiliated lessees would constitute a Significant Obligor; provided, however, that in the event the related Space Lease does not require the related lessee to provide the foregoing information, Borrower shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause the applicable lessee to furnish such information.

(e)           Borrower covenants and agrees with Lender that (i) the Property will be managed at all times by Manager pursuant to the management agreements approved by Lender, which approval Lender shall not unreasonably withhold or delay (each, a “Management Agreement”), (ii) after Borrower has knowledge of a fifty percent (50%) or more change in Control of the ownership of Manager, Borrower will promptly give Lender notice thereof (a “Manager Control Notice”) and (iii) the Management Agreement may be terminated by Lender at any time for cause (including, but not limited to, Manager’s gross negligence, misappropriation of funds, willful misconduct or fraud) or at any time following (A) the occurrence and during the

75




continuance of an Event of Default, or (B) the receipt of a Manager Control Notice and a substitute managing agent shall be appointed by Borrower, subject to Lender’s prior written approval, which approval Lender shall not unreasonably withhold or delay, but which may be conditioned on, inter alia, a letter from each Rating Agency confirming that any rating issued by the Rating Agency in connection with a Securitization will not, as a result of the proposed change of Manager, be downgraded from the then current ratings thereof, qualified or withdrawn.  Borrower may from time to time appoint a successor manager to manage the Property with Lender’s prior written consent which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed, provided that any such successor manager shall be a reputable management company which meets the Approved Manager Standard and each Rating Agency shall have confirmed in writing that any rating issued by the Rating Agency in connection with a Securitization will not, as a result of the proposed change of Manager, be downgraded from the then current ratings thereof, qualified or withdrawn.  Borrower further covenants and agrees that Borrower shall require Manager (or any successor managers) to maintain at all times during the term of the Loan worker’s compensation insurance as required by Governmental Authorities.

(f)            There are no franchise agreements relating to the Property and Borrower shall not enter into any franchise agreements relating to the Property.

(g)           Borrower covenants that it shall not, nor permit Manager, to sell or deliver rooms or suites and accept payment therefor for more than thirty (30) days in advance of delivery except in the ordinary course of Borrower’s business and in accordance with the Approved Manager Standard.

(h)           Borrower shall fund and operate, or shall cause Manager to fund and operate, the Property in a manner consistent with a hotel of the same type and category as the Property.

(i)            Borrower shall maintain or cause Manager to maintain Inventory in kind and amount sufficient to meet hotel industry standards for hotels comparable to the hotel located at the Premises and at levels sufficient for the operation of the hotel located at the Premises at historic occupancy levels.

(j)            Borrower shall deliver to Lender all notices of default or termination received by Borrower or Manager with respect to any licenses and permits, contracts, Property Agreements, Leases or insurance policies within three (3) Business Days of receipt of the same.

(k)           If Borrower or SPE Pledgor is a party to a Food and Beverage Lease/Operating Agreement, Borrower and/or SPE Pledgor, as applicable, shall (i) diligently perform and observe all of the terms, covenants and conditions of the Food and Beverage Leases/Operating Agreements on the part of Borrower and the SPE Pledgor to be performed and observed, (ii) promptly notify Lender of any material default under any Food and Beverage Lease/Operating Agreement of which it is aware and (iii) diligently enforce all of the material obligations of the Food and Beverage Lessees/Operators under the Food and Beverage Leases/Operating Agreements.  If Borrower or SPE Pledgor shall default in the performance or observance of any material term, covenant or condition of any Food and Beverage Leases/Operating Agreements on the part of such Borrower or SPE Pledgor to be performed or observed beyond any applicable grace or cure period, then, without limiting Lender’s other rights or remedies under this Security

76




Instrument or any other Loan Documents, and without waiving or releasing Borrower from any of its obligations hereunder or Borrower or the SPE Pledgor under the Food and Beverage Leases/Operating Agreements, Lender shall have the right, but shall be under no obligation, to pay any sums and to perform any act as may be reasonably appropriate to cause all the terms, covenants and conditions of the Food and Beverage Leases/Operating Agreements on the part of Borrower or SPE Pledgor to be performed or observed.

(l)            Neither Borrower nor SPE Pledgor shall, and neither Borrower nor SPE Pledgor shall permit any other Person to (i) materially modify, or to renew or terminate or extend, any Food and Beverage Lease/Operating Agreement, transfer its interest in any Food and Beverage Lease/Operating Agreement or consent to the assignment of any Food and Beverage Lease/Operating Agreement, (ii) waive or release any of its rights under any Food and Beverage Lease/Operating Agreement or (iii) consent to any increase in its obligations under any Food and Beverage Lease/Operating Agreement, in each case without the express consent of Lender, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld.  Any action taken in violation of the foregoing without the prior express consent of Lender shall be void and of no force and effect.

(m)          None of Borrower, SPE Pledgor nor any Affiliate of any Borrower or SPE Pledgor shall direct, solicit or otherwise collude to cause any Food and Beverage SPE Pledgor Distributions (as defined in the Pledge Agreement of even date herewith given by SPE Pledgor to Lender in connection with the origination of the Loan) to be applied, disbursed or remitted in any manner inconsistent with the terms and provisions of the Loan Documents and/or the payment instructions provided by Lender to each Food and Beverage Lessee/Operator.  None of Borrower, SPE Pledgor nor any Affiliate of Borrower or SPE Pledgor shall interfere with the application, disbursement or remittance of Food and Beverage SPE Pledgor Distributions as required under the terms and provisions of the Loan Documents and/or the payment instructions provided by Lender to each Food and Beverage Lessee/Operator.  Borrower and each SPE Pledgor shall take all commercially reasonable steps necessary to cause all revenues of the Food and Beverage Lessees/Operators to continue to be collected by Borrower.  None of Borrower, SPE Pledgor nor Affiliate of Borrower or SPE Pledgor shall revoke or attempt to revoke the payment instructions provided by Lender to each Food & Beverage Lessee/Operator.

Section 9.04.  Permitted Transfer.  Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Article IX, a conveyance of the Property in its entirety or a Transfer (hereinafter, “Sale”) shall be permitted hereunder from time to time provided that each of the following terms and conditions are satisfied:

(b)           If the proposed Sale is to occur at any time after a Securitization, each Rating Agency shall have delivered written confirmation that any rating issued by such Rating Agency in connection with the Securitization will not, as a result of the proposed Sale, be downgraded from the then current ratings thereof, qualified or withdrawn; provided, however, that no request for consent to the Sale will be entertained by Lender if the proposed Sale is to occur within sixty (60) days of any contemplated sale of the Loan by Lender, whether in connection with a Securitization or otherwise;

(c)           Borrower gives Lender written notice of the terms of the proposed Sale not less than sixty (60) days before the date on which such Sale is scheduled to close and, concurrently therewith, gives Lender (i) all such information concerning the proposed transferee of the Property (hereinafter, “Buyer”) as Lender would require in evaluating an initial extension of credit to a borrower and Lender determines, in its reasonable discretion that the Buyer is acceptable to Lender in all material respects (it being acknowledged that any Permitted Transferee shall be deemed acceptable to Lender provided that not more than 75% in the aggregate of the direct or indirect interests in Borrower (but without including more than once one or more transfers of the same interest) has been transferred subsequent to the Closing Date in one or more transactions and Borrower continues to be Controlled by the same Persons which Controlled Borrower prior to such transfer (it being acknowledged that (x) any holder of more than forty percent of the direct or indirect interest in Borrower may have veto rights over major decisions which are customary in joint venture agreements between two fifty percent owners of a Person and the same shall not constitute a change in Control) and (y) it further being acknowledged that any Transfer of a direct or indirect interest in Morgans Group LLC otherwise requiring approval hereunder shall not be subject to the approval of Lender if Morgans Group LLC continues to own and manage hotel rooms located in full service luxury or full service upscale properties numbering not less than eighty percent (80%) of the number of hotel rooms which it owns and eighty percent (80%) of the number of hotel rooms it manages as of the Closing Date (and such numbers shall be calculated on a pro rata basis, so that, for example, if Morgans Group LLC has a fifty percent (50%) interest in a Person that owns two hundred (200) hotel rooms, Morgans Group LLC shall be deemed to own one hundred (100) hotel rooms) and the conditions set forth in clauses (A) and (B) of the definition of Permitted Transferee are met) and (ii) a non-refundable application fee equal to $15,000;

(d)           Borrower pays Lender, concurrently with the closing of any conveyance of the Property in its entirety or a direct or indirect interest in Borrower of 75% or more (in the aggregate whether in one or a series of transactions but without including more than once one or more transfers of the same interest) of the direct or indirect interest in Borrower, a non-refundable assumption fee in an amount equal to one percent (1%) of the then outstanding

80




Loan Amount (which fee shall be waived in the event of a Transfer of the type set forth in clause (y) of Section 9.04(c)(i)) together with all out-of-pocket costs and expenses, including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees, incurred by Lender in connection with the Sale;

(e)           In the event the applicable Transfer will result in Borrower no longer owning the Property, Buyer assumes all of the obligations under the Loan Documents and, prior to or concurrently with the closing of such Sale, Buyer executes, without any cost or expense to Lender, such documents and agreements as Lender shall reasonably require to evidence and effectuate said assumption and delivers such legal opinions as Lender may reasonably require;

(f)            In the event the applicable Transfer will result in Borrower no longer owning the Property, Borrower and Buyer execute, without any cost or expense to Lender, new financing statements or financing statement amendments and any additional documents reasonably requested by Lender;

(h)           In the event the applicable Transfer will result in Borrower no longer owning the Property, Borrower executes and delivers to Lender, without any cost or expense to Lender, a release of Lender, its officers, directors, employees and agents, from all claims and liability relating to the transactions evidenced by the Loan Documents, through and including the date of the closing of the Sale, which agreement shall be in form and substance satisfactory to Lender and shall be binding upon Buyer;

(i)            In the event the applicable Transfer will result in Borrower no longer owning the Property, subject to the provisions of Section 18.32 hereof, such Sale does not relieve Borrower of any personal liability under the Note or any of the other Loan Documents for any acts or events occurring or obligations arising prior to or simultaneously with the closing of such Sale, and Borrower executes, without any cost or expense to Lender, such documents and agreements as Lender shall reasonably require to evidence and effectuate the ratification of said personal liability;

(j)            In the event the applicable Transfer will result in Borrower no longer owning the Property, such Sale does not relieve any Guarantor of its obligations under any guaranty or indemnity agreement executed in connection with the Loan and each such Guarantor executes, without any cost or expense to Lender, such documents and agreements as Lender shall reasonably require to evidence and effectuate the ratification of each such guaranty agreement, provided that if Buyer or a party associated with Buyer approved by Lender in its reasonable

81




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

(k)           In the event the applicable Transfer will result in Borrower no longer owning the Property, Buyer is a Single Purpose Entity and Lender receives a non-consolidation opinion relating to Buyer from Buyer’s counsel, which opinion is in form and substance reasonably acceptable to Lender.

Persons claiming to be entitled to a commission in connection with any Lease or other transaction involving the Property or any part thereof; (g) any Imposition including, without limitation, any Imposition attributable to the execution, delivery, filing, or recording of any Loan Document, Lease or memorandum thereof; (h) any lien or claim arising on or against the Property or any part thereof under any Legal Requirement or any liability asserted against any of the Indemnified Parties with respect thereto; (i) any claim arising out of or in any way relating to any tax or other imposition on the making and/or recording of this Security Instrument, the Note or any of the other Loan Documents; (j) a Default under Sections 2.02(f), 2.02(g), 2.02(k), 2.02(t) or 2.02(w) hereof, (k) the failure of any Person to file timely with the Internal Revenue Service an accurate Form 1099-B, Statement for Recipients of Proceeds from Real Estate, Broker and Barter Exchange Transactions, which may be required in connection with the Loan, or to supply a copy thereof in a timely fashion to the recipient of the proceeds of the Loan; (l) the claims of any lessee or any Person acting through or under any lessee or otherwise arising under or as a consequence of any Lease or (m) the failure to pay any insurance premiums.  Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 12.01 to the contrary, Borrower shall have no obligation to indemnify the Indemnified Parties pursuant to this Section 12.01 for liabilities, obligations, claims, damages, penalties, causes of action, costs and expenses relative to the foregoing which result from Lender’s, and its successors’ or assigns’, willful misconduct or gross negligence.  Any amounts payable to Lender by reason of the application of this Section 12.01 shall constitute a part of the Debt secured by this Security Instrument and the other Loan Documents and shall become immediately due and payable and shall bear interest at the Default Rate from the date the liability, obligation, claim, cost or expense is sustained by Lender, as applicable, until paid.  The provisions of this Section 12.01 shall survive the termination of this Security Instrument whether by repayment of the Debt, foreclosure or delivery of a deed in lieu thereof, assignment or otherwise.  In case any action, suit or proceeding is brought against any of the Indemnified Parties by reason of any occurrence of the type set forth in (a) through (m) above, Borrower shall, at Borrower’s expense, resist and defend such action, suit or proceeding or will cause the same to be resisted and defended by counsel at Borrower’s expense for the insurer of the liability or by counsel designated by Borrower (unless reasonably disapproved by Lender promptly after Lender has been notified of such counsel); provided, however, that nothing herein shall compromise the right of Lender (or any other Indemnified Party) to appoint its own counsel at Borrower’s expense for its defense with respect to any action which, in the reasonable opinion of Lender or such other Indemnified Party, as applicable, presents a conflict or potential conflict between Lender or such other Indemnified Party that would make such separate representation advisable.  Any Indemnified Party will give Borrower prompt notice after such Indemnified Party obtains actual knowledge of any potential claim by such Indemnified Party for indemnification hereunder.  The Indemnified Parties shall not settle or compromise any action, proceeding or claim as to which it is indemnified hereunder without notice to Borrower.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, so long as no Default has occurred and is continuing and Borrower is resisting and defending such action, suit or proceeding as provided above in a prudent and commercially reasonable manner, in order to obtain the benefit of this Section 12.01 with respect to such action, suit or proceeding, Lender and the Indemnified Parties agree that they shall not settle such action, suit or proceeding without obtaining Borrower’s consent which Borrower agrees not to unreasonably withhold, condition or delay; provided, however, (x) if Borrower is not diligently defending such action, suit or proceeding in a prudent and commercially reasonable manner as provided above and Lender has provided Borrower with

84




thirty (30) days’ prior written notice, or shorter period if mandated by the requirements of the applicable law, and Borrower has failed to correct such failure, or (y) failure to settle could, in Lender’s reasonable judgment, expose Lender to criminal liability, Lender may settle such action, suit or proceeding without the consent of but upon notice to Borrower and be entitled to the benefits of this Section 12.01 with respect to the settlement of such action, suit or proceeding.

ARTICLE XIII:  DEFAULTS

(c)           if payment of any sum (other than the sums described in (a) above or (b) above) required to be paid pursuant to the Note, this Security Instrument or any other Loan Document shall not be paid within five (5) days after Lender delivers written notice to Borrower that same is due and payable thereunder or hereunder; provided, that the failure of any such amount to be paid when due shall not be an Event of Default if adequate funds were on deposit in the relevant Sub-Account (or would have been on deposit therein if Lender had timely allocated such funds thereto from the Central Account and/or the Rent Account in accordance with the provisions of Article V hereof) and, if required, Borrower timely instructed Lender as to the application of such funds;

(d)           if Borrower, Guarantor or, if Borrower or Guarantor is a partnership, any general partner of Borrower or Guarantor, or, if Borrower or Guarantor is a limited liability company, any member of Borrower or managing member of Guarantor, shall institute or cause to be instituted any proceeding for the termination or dissolution of Borrower, Guarantor or any such general partner or member;

(e)           if the insurance policies required hereunder are not kept in full force and effect, or if the insurance policies are not assigned and delivered to Lender as herein provided;

(j)            if Borrower shall be in default beyond any notice or grace period, if any, under any other mortgage or deed of trust or security agreement covering any part of the Property without regard to its priority relative to this Security Instrument; provided, however, this provision shall not be deemed a waiver of the provisions of Article IX prohibiting further encumbrances affecting the Property or any other provision of this Security Instrument;

(k)           if the Property becomes subject to any lien which is superior to the lien of this Security Instrument, other than Permitted Encumbrances;

(m)          except as permitted in this Security Instrument, any material alteration, demolition or removal of any of the Improvements without the prior consent of Lender;

(n)           if Borrower or SPE Pledgor consummates a transaction which would cause this Security Instrument or Lender’s rights under this Security Instrument, the Note or any other Loan Document to constitute a non-exempt prohibited transaction under ERISA or result in a violation of a state statute regulating government plans subjecting Lender to liability for a violation of ERISA or a similar state statute; or

(o)           if a default shall occur under any of the other terms, covenants or conditions of the Note, this Security Instrument or any other Loan Document, other than as set forth in (a) through (n) above, for ten (10) days after notice from Lender in the case of any default which can be cured by the payment of a sum of money, or for thirty (30) days after notice from Lender in the case of any other default or an additional ninety (90) days if Borrower is diligently and continuously effectuating a cure of a curable non-monetary default, other than as set forth in (a)

86




through (n) above.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, Borrower’s failure to promptly commence the Work subsequent to a casualty or Taking shall not be a default hereunder if (i) a Substantial Casualty or Substantial Taking has occurred, (ii) Lender has not made available Loss Proceeds to Borrower for the Work for any reason other than because a Default exists and (iii) Borrower has given written notice to Lender that it shall repay the Loan within six (6) months of Lender applying Loss Proceeds from the Property towards the repayment of the Debt and Borrower diligently seeks construction financing for the Work during such period and delivers to Lender evidence thereof.

Section 13.02.  Remedies.  (a) Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, Lender may, in addition to any other rights or remedies available to it hereunder or under any other Loan Document, at law or in equity, take such action, without notice or demand, as it reasonably deems advisable to protect and enforce its rights against Borrower and in and to the Property including, but not limited to, the following actions, each of which may be pursued singly, concurrently or otherwise, at such time and in such order as Lender may determine, in its sole discretion, without impairing or otherwise affecting any other rights and remedies of Lender hereunder, at law or in equity:  (i) declare all or any portion of the unpaid Debt to be immediately due and payable; provided, however, that upon the occurrence of any of the events specified in Section 13.01(i), the entire Debt will be immediately due and payable without notice or demand or any other declaration of the amounts due and payable; or (ii) bring, or instruct Trustee to bring, an action to foreclose this Security Instrument and without applying for a receiver for the Rents, but subject to the rights of the tenants under the Leases, enter into or upon the Property or any part thereof, either personally or by its agents, nominees or attorneys, and dispossess Borrower and its agents and servants therefrom, and thereupon Lender may (A) use, operate, manage, control, insure, maintain, repair, restore and otherwise deal with all and every part of the Property and conduct the business thereat, (B) make alterations, additions, renewals, replacements and improvements to or on the Property or any part thereof, (C) exercise all rights and powers of Borrower with respect to the Property or any part thereof, whether in the name of Borrower or otherwise, including, without limitation, the right to make, cancel, enforce or modify Leases, obtain and evict tenants, and demand, sue for, collect and receive all earnings, revenues, rents, issues, profits and other income of the Property and every part thereof, and (D) apply the receipts from the Property or any part thereof to the payment of the Debt, after deducting therefrom all expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements) reasonably incurred in connection with the aforesaid operations and all amounts necessary to pay the Impositions, insurance and other charges in connection with the Property or any part thereof, as well as just and reasonable compensation for the services of Lender’s third party agents; or (iii) have an appraisal or other valuation of the Property or any part thereof performed by an Appraiser (and Borrower covenants and agrees it shall cooperate in causing any such valuation or appraisal to be performed) and any cost or expense incurred by Lender in connection therewith shall constitute a portion of the Debt and be secured by this Security Instrument and shall be immediately due and payable to Lender with interest, at the Default Rate, until the date of receipt by Lender; or (iv) sell, or instruct Trustee to sell, the Property or institute, or instruct Trustee to institute, proceedings for the complete foreclosure of this Security Instrument, or take such other action as may be allowed pursuant to Legal Requirements, at law or in equity, for the enforcement of this Security Instrument in which case the Property or any part thereof may be sold for cash or credit in one or more parcels; or (v)

87




with or without entry, and to the extent permitted and pursuant to the procedures provided by applicable Legal Requirements, institute proceedings for the partial foreclosure of this Security Instrument, or take such other action as may be allowed pursuant to Legal Requirements, at law or in equity, for the enforcement of this Security Instrument for the portion of the Debt then due and payable, subject to the lien of this Security Instrument continuing unimpaired and without loss of priority so as to secure the balance of the Debt not then due; or (vi) sell, or instruct Trustee to sell, the Property or any part thereof and any or all estate, claim, demand, right, title and interest of Borrower therein and rights of redemption thereof, pursuant to power of sale or otherwise, at one or more sales, in whole or in parcels, in any order or manner, at such time and place, upon such terms and after such notice thereof as may be required or permitted by law, at the discretion of Lender, and in the event of a sale, by foreclosure or otherwise, of less than all of the Property, this Security Instrument shall continue as a lien on the remaining portion of the Property; or (vii) institute an action, suit or proceeding in equity for the specific performance of any covenant, condition or agreement contained in the Loan Documents, or any of them; or (viii) recover judgment on the Note or any guaranty either before, during or after (or in lieu of) any proceedings for the enforcement of this Security Instrument; or (ix) apply, or direct Trustee to apply, ex parte, for the appointment of a custodian, trustee, receiver, keeper, liquidator or conservator of the Property or any part thereof, irrespective of the adequacy of the security for the Debt and without regard to the solvency of Borrower or of any Person liable for the payment of the Debt, to which appointment Borrower does hereby consent and such receiver or other official shall have all rights and powers permitted by applicable law and such other rights and powers as the court making such appointment may confer, but the appointment of such receiver or other official shall not impair or in any manner prejudice the rights of Lender to receive the Rent with respect to any of the Property pursuant to this Security Instrument or the Assignment; or (x) require, at Lender’s option, Borrower to pay monthly in advance to Lender, or any receiver appointed to collect the Rents, the fair and reasonable rental value for the use and occupation of any portion of the Property occupied by Borrower and may require Borrower to vacate and surrender possession to Lender of the Property or to such receiver and Borrower may be evicted by summary proceedings or otherwise; or (xi) without notice to Borrower (A) apply all or any portion of the cash collateral in any Sub-Account and Escrow Account, including any interest and/or earnings therein, to carry out the obligations of Borrower under this Security Instrument and the other Loan Documents, to protect and preserve the Property and for any other purpose permitted under this Security Instrument and the other Loan Documents and/or (B) have all or any portion of such cash collateral immediately paid to Lender to be applied against the Debt in the order and priority set forth in the Note; or (xii) pursue any or all such other rights or remedies as Lender and Trustee may have under applicable law or in equity; provided, however, that the provisions of this Section 13.02(a) shall not be construed to extend or modify any of the notice requirements or grace periods provided for hereunder or under any of the other Loan Documents.  Borrower hereby waives, to the fullest extent permitted by Legal Requirements, any defense Borrower might otherwise raise or have by the failure to make any tenants parties defendant to a foreclosure proceeding and to foreclose their rights in any proceeding instituted by Lender or Trustee.

(b)           To the extent not prohibited by law, any time after and during the continuance of an Event of Default, Trustee, at the request of Lender, shall have the power to sell the Property or any part thereof at public auction, in such manner, at such time and place, upon such terms

88




and conditions, and upon such public notice as Lender may deem best for the interest of Lender, or as may be required or permitted by applicable law, consisting of advertisement in a newspaper of general circulation in the jurisdiction and for such period as applicable law may require and at such other times and by such other methods, if any, as may be required by law to convey the Property in fee simple by Trustee’s deed with special warranty of title to and at the cost of the purchaser, who shall not be liable to see to the application of the purchase money.  The proceeds or avails of any sale made under or by virtue of this Section 13.02, together with any other sums which then may be held by Lender under this Security Instrument, whether under the provisions of this Section 13.02 or otherwise, shall be applied as follows:

First:  To the payment of the third-party costs and expenses reasonably incurred in connection with any such sale and to advances, fees and expenses, including, without limitation, reasonable fees and expenses of Lender’s and Trustee’s legal counsel as applicable, and of any judicial proceedings wherein the same may be made, and of all expenses, liabilities and advances reasonably made or incurred by Lender or Trustee under this Security Instrument, together with interest as provided herein on all such advances made by Lender, and all Impositions, except any Impositions or other charges subject to which the Property shall have been sold;

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

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

Fourth:  The surplus, if any, to Borrower unless otherwise required by Legal Requirements.

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

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

(d)           Upon the completion of any sale or sales made by Lender or Trustee under or by virtue of this Section 13.02, Lender or Trustee, as applicable, or any officer of any court empowered to do so, shall execute and deliver to the accepted purchaser or purchasers a good and sufficient instrument, or good and sufficient instruments, granting, conveying, assigning and transferring all estate, right, title and interest in and to the property and rights sold.  Lender is hereby irrevocably appointed the true and lawful attorney-in-fact of Borrower (coupled with an

89




interest), in its name and stead, to make all necessary conveyances, assignments, transfers and deliveries of the property and rights so sold and for that purpose Lender may execute all necessary instruments of conveyance, assignment, transfer and delivery, and may substitute one or more Persons with like power, Borrower hereby ratifying and confirming all that its said attorney-in-fact or such substitute or substitutes shall lawfully do by virtue hereof.  Nevertheless, Borrower, if so requested by Lender, shall ratify and confirm any such sale or sales by executing and delivering to Lender, or to such purchaser or purchasers all such instruments as may be advisable, in the sole judgement of Lender, for such purpose, and as may be designated in such request.  Any such sale or sales made under or by virtue of this Section 13.02, whether made under the power of sale herein granted or under or by virtue of judicial proceedings or a judgment or decree of foreclosure and sale, shall operate to divest all the estate, right, title, interest, claim and demand whatsoever, whether at law or in equity, of Borrower in and to the property and rights so sold, and shall, to the fullest extent permitted under Legal Requirements, be a perpetual bar, both at law and in equity against Borrower and against any and all Persons claiming or who may claim the same, or any part thereof, from, through or under Borrower.

(e)           In the event of any sale made under or by virtue of this Section 13.02 (whether made under the power of sale herein granted or under or by virtue of judicial proceedings or a judgment or decree of foreclosure and sale), the entire Debt immediately thereupon shall, anything in the Loan Documents to the contrary notwithstanding, become due and payable.

(f)            Upon any sale made under or by virtue of this Section 13.02 (whether made under the power of sale herein granted or under or by virtue of judicial proceedings or a judgment or decree of foreclosure and sale), Lender may bid for and acquire the Property or any part thereof and in lieu of paying cash therefor may make settlement for the purchase price by crediting upon the Debt the net sales price after deducting therefrom the expenses of the sale and the costs of the action.

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

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

Section 13.03.  Payment of Debt After Default.  If, following the occurrence of any Event of Default, Borrower shall tender payment of an amount sufficient to satisfy the Debt in whole or

90




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

Section 13.04.  Possession of the Property.  Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default and the acceleration of the Debt or any portion thereof, Borrower, if an occupant of the Property or any part thereof, upon demand of Lender, shall immediately surrender possession of the Property (or the portion thereof so occupied) to Lender, and if Borrower is permitted to remain in possession, the possession shall be as a month-to-month tenant of Lender and, on demand, Borrower shall pay to Lender monthly, in advance, a reasonable rental for the space so occupied and in default thereof Borrower may be dispossessed.  The covenants herein contained may be enforced by a receiver of the Property or any part thereof.  Nothing in this Section 13.04 shall be deemed to be a waiver of the provisions of this Security Instrument making the Transfer of the Property or any part thereof without Lender’s prior written consent an Event of Default.

Section 13.05.  Interest After Default.  If any amount due under the Note, this Security Instrument or any of the other Loan Documents is not paid within any applicable notice and grace period after same is due, whether such date is the stated due date, any accelerated due date or any other date or at any other time specified under any of the terms hereof or thereof, then, in such event, Borrower shall pay interest on the amount not so paid from and after the date on which such amount first becomes due at the Default Rate; and such interest shall be due and payable at such rate until the earlier of the cure of all Events of Default or the payment of the entire amount due to Lender, whether or not any action shall have been taken or proceeding commenced to recover the same or to foreclose this Security Instrument.  All unpaid and accrued interest shall be secured by this Security Instrument as part of the Debt.  Nothing in this Section 13.05 or in any other provision of this Security Instrument shall constitute an extension of the time for payment of the Debt.

Section 13.06.  Borrower’s Actions After Default.  Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default and immediately upon the commencement of any action, suit or other legal proceedings by Lender to obtain judgment for the Debt, or of any other nature

91




in aid of the enforcement of the Loan Documents, Borrower will (a) after receipt of notice of the institution of any such action, waive the issuance and service of process and enter its voluntary appearance in such action, suit or proceeding, and (b) if required by Lender, consent to the appointment of a receiver or receivers of the Property or any part thereof and of all the earnings, revenues, rents, issues, profits and income thereof.

Section 13.07.  Control by Lender After Default.  Notwithstanding the appointment of any custodian, receiver, liquidator or trustee of Borrower, or of any of its property, or of the Property or any part thereof, to the extent permitted by Legal Requirements, Lender shall be entitled to obtain possession and control of all property now and hereafter covered by this Security Instrument and the Assignment in accordance with the terms hereof.

Section 13.08.  Right to Cure Defaults.  (a) Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, Lender or its agents may, but without any obligation to do so and without notice to or demand on Borrower and without releasing Borrower from any obligation hereunder, make or do the same in such manner and to such extent as Lender may deem necessary to protect the security hereof.  Lender and its agents are authorized to enter upon the Property or any part thereof for such purposes, or appear in, defend, or bring any action or proceedings to protect Lender’s interest in the Property or any part thereof or to foreclose this Security Instrument or collect the Debt, and the cost and expense thereof (including reasonable attorneys’ fees to the extent permitted by law), with interest as provided in this Section 13.08, shall constitute a portion of the Debt and shall be immediately due and payable to Lender upon demand.  All such costs and expenses incurred by Lender or its agents in remedying such Event of Default or in appearing in, defending, or bringing any such action or proceeding shall bear interest at the Default Rate, for the period from the date so demanded to the date of payment to Lender.  All such costs and expenses incurred by Lender or its agents together with interest thereon calculated at the above rate shall be deemed to constitute a portion of the Debt and be secured by this Security Instrument.

(b)           If Lender makes any payment or advance that Lender is authorized by this Security Instrument to make in the place and stead of Borrower (i) relating to the Impositions or tax liens asserted against the Property, Lender may do so according to any bill, statement or estimate procured from the appropriate public office without inquiry into the accuracy of the bill, statement or estimate or into the validity of any of the Impositions or the tax liens or claims thereof; (ii) relating to any apparent or threatened adverse title, lien, claim of lien, encumbrance, claim or charge, Lender will be the sole judge of the legality or validity of same; or (iii) relating to any other purpose authorized by this Security Instrument but not enumerated in this Section 13.08, Lender may do so whenever, in its judgment and discretion, the payment or advance seems necessary or desirable to protect the Property and the full security interest intended to be created by this Security Instrument.  In connection with any payment or advance made pursuant to this Section 13.08, Lender has the option and is authorized, but in no event shall be obligated, to obtain a continuation report of title prepared by a title insurance company.  The payments and the advances made by Lender pursuant to this Section 13.08 and the cost and expenses of said title report will be due and payable by Borrower on demand, together with interest at the Default Rate, and will be secured by this Security Instrument.

92




Section 13.09.  Late Payment Charge.  If any portion of the Debt is not paid in full on or before the day on which it is due and payable hereunder (other than the principal portion of the Debt due on the Maturity Date), Borrower shall pay to Lender an amount equal to five percent (5%) of such unpaid portion of the Debt (“Late Charge”) to defray the expense incurred by Lender in handling and processing such delinquent payment, and such amount shall constitute a part of the Debt.

Section 13.10.  Recovery of Sums Required to Be Paid.  Lender shall have the right from time to time to take action to recover any sum or sums which constitute a part of the Debt as the same become due and payable hereunder (after the expiration of any grace period or the giving of any notice herein provided, if any), without regard to whether or not the balance of the Debt shall be due, and without prejudice to the right of Lender thereafter to bring an action of foreclosure, or any other action, for a default or defaults by Borrower existing at the time such earlier action was commenced.

Section 13.11.  Marshalling and Other Matters.  Borrower hereby waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, the benefit of all appraisement, valuation, stay, extension, reinstatement, redemption (both equitable and statutory) and homestead laws now or hereafter in force and all rights of marshalling in the event of any sale hereunder of the Property or any part thereof or any interest therein.  Further, Borrower hereby expressly waives any and all rights of redemption from sale under any order or decree of foreclosure of this Security Instrument on behalf of Borrower, whether equitable or statutory and on behalf of each and every Person acquiring any interest in or title to the Property or any part thereof subsequent to the date of this Security Instrument and on behalf of all Persons to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law.

Section 13.12.  Tax Reduction Proceedings.  Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, Borrower shall be deemed to have appointed Lender as its attorney-in-fact to seek a reduction or reductions in the assessed valuation of the Property for real property tax purposes or for any other purpose and to prosecute any action or proceeding in connection therewith.  This power, being coupled with an interest, shall be irrevocable for so long as any part of the Debt remains unpaid and any Event of Default shall be continuing.

Section 18.13.  Applicable Law.  THIS SECURITY INSTRUMENT AND THE OBLIGATIONS ARISING HEREUNDER SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA APPLICABLE TO CONTRACTS MADE AND PERFORMED IN SUCH STATE AND ANY APPLICABLE LAW OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA.

Section 18.14.  Security Agreement.  (a) (i) This Security Instrument is both a real property mortgage, deed to secure debt or deed of trust, as applicable, and a “security agreement” within the meaning of the UCC.  The Property includes both real and personal property and all other rights and interests, whether tangible or intangible in nature, of Borrower in the Property.  This Security Instrument is filed as a fixture filing and covers goods which are or are to become fixtures on the Property.  Borrower by executing and delivering this Security Instrument has granted to Lender, as security for the Debt,  a security interest in the Property to the full extent that the Property may be subject to the UCC (said portion of the Property so subject to the UCC being called in this Section 18.14 the “Collateral”).  If an Event of Default shall occur, and shall be continuing, Lender, in addition to any other rights and remedies which it may have, shall have and may exercise immediately and without demand, any and all rights and remedies granted to a secured party upon default under the UCC, including, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the right to take possession of the Collateral or any part thereof, and to take such other measures as Lender may deem necessary for the care, protection and preservation of the Collateral.  Upon request or demand of Lender following and during the continuance of an Event of Default, Borrower shall, at its expense, assemble the Collateral and make it available to Lender at a convenient place acceptable to Lender.  Borrower shall pay to Lender on demand any and all expenses, including reasonable legal expenses and attorneys’ fees, incurred or paid by Lender in protecting its interest in the Collateral and in enforcing its rights hereunder with respect to the Collateral.  Any disposition pursuant to the UCC of so much of the Collateral as may constitute personal property shall be considered commercially reasonable if made pursuant to a public sale which is advertised at least twice in a newspaper in which sheriff’s sales are advertised in the county where the Premises is located.  Any notice of sale, disposition or other intended action by Lender with respect to the Collateral given to Borrower in accordance with the provisions hereof at least ten (10) days prior to such action, shall constitute reasonable notice to Borrower.  The proceeds of any disposition of the Collateral, or any part thereof, may be applied by Lender to the payment of the Debt in such priority and proportions as Lender in its discretion shall deem proper.  It is not necessary that the Collateral be present at any disposition thereof.  Lender shall have no obligation to clean-up or otherwise prepare the Collateral for disposition.

(ii)           The mention in a financing statement filed in the records normally pertaining to personal property of any portion of the Property shall not derogate from or impair in any manner the intention of this Security Instrument.  Lender hereby declares

102




that all items of Collateral are part of the real property encumbered hereby to the fullest extent permitted by law, regardless of whether any such item is physically attached to the Improvements or whether serial numbers are used for the better identification of certain items.  Specifically, the mention in any such financing statement of any items included in the Property shall not be construed to alter, impair or impugn any rights of Lender as determined by this Security Instrument or the priority of Lender’s lien upon and security interest in the Property in the event that notice of Lender’s priority of interest as to any portion of the Property is required to be filed in accordance with the UCC to be effective against or take priority over the interest of any particular class of persons, including the federal government or any subdivision or instrumentality thereof.  No portion of the Collateral constitutes or is the proceeds of “Farm Products”, as defined in the UCC.

(iii)          If Borrower is at any time a beneficiary under a letter of credit now or hereafter issued in favor of Borrower, Borrower shall promptly notify Lender thereof and, at the request and option of Lender, Borrower shall, pursuant to an agreement in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Lender, either (A) arrange for the issuer and any confirmer of such letter of credit to consent to an assignment to Lender of the proceeds of any drawing under the letter of credit or (B) arrange for Lender to become the transferee beneficiary of the letter of credit, with Lender agreeing, in each case, that the proceeds of any drawing under the letter to credit are to be applied as provided in this Security Instrument.

(iv)          Borrower and Lender acknowledge that for the purposes of Article 9 of the UCC, the law of the State of California shall be the law of the jurisdiction of the bank in which the Central Account is located.

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

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

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

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

103




Section 18.15.  Actions and Proceedings.  Lender has the right to appear in and defend any action or proceeding brought with respect to the Property in its own name or, if required by Legal Requirements or, if in Lender’s reasonable judgment, it is necessary, in the name and on behalf of Borrower, which Lender believes will adversely affect the Property or this Security Instrument and to bring any action or proceedings, in its name or in the name and on behalf of Borrower, which Lender, in its discretion, decides should be brought to protect its interest in the Property.

Section 18.16.  Usury Laws.  This Security Instrument and the Note are subject to the express condition, and it is the expressed intent of the parties, that at no time shall Borrower be obligated or required to pay interest on the principal balance due under the Note at a rate which could subject the holder of the Note to either civil or criminal liability as a result of being in excess of the maximum interest rate which Borrower is permitted by law to contract or agree to pay.  If by the terms of this Security Instrument or the Note, Borrower is at any time required or obligated to pay interest on the principal balance due under the Note at a rate in excess of such maximum rate, such rate of interest shall be deemed to be immediately reduced to such maximum rate and the interest payable shall be computed at such maximum rate and all prior interest payments in excess of such maximum rate shall be applied and shall be deemed to have been payments in reduction of the principal balance of the Note.  No application to the principal balance of the Note pursuant to this Section 18.16 shall give rise to any requirement to pay any prepayment fee or charge of any kind due hereunder, if any.

Section 18.17.  Remedies of Borrower.  In the event that a claim or adjudication is made that Lender has acted unreasonably or unreasonably delayed acting in any case where by law or under the Note, this Security Instrument or the Loan Documents, it has an obligation to act reasonably or promptly, Lender shall not be liable for any monetary damages, and Borrower’s remedies shall be limited to injunctive relief or declaratory judgment.

Section 18.18.  Offsets, Counterclaims and Defenses.  Any assignee of this Security Instrument, the Assignment and the Note shall take the same free and clear of all offsets, counterclaims or defenses which are unrelated to the Note, the Assignment or this Security Instrument which Borrower may otherwise have against any assignor of this Security Instrument, the Assignment and the Note and no such unrelated counterclaim or defense shall be interposed or asserted by Borrower in any action or proceeding brought by any such assignee upon this Security Instrument, the Assignment or the Note and any such right to interpose or assert any such unrelated offset, counterclaim or defense in any such action or proceeding is hereby expressly waived by Borrower.

Section 18.19.  No Merger.  If Borrower’s and Lender’s estates become the same including, without limitation, upon the delivery of a deed by Borrower in lieu of a foreclosure sale, or upon a purchase of the Property by Lender in a foreclosure sale, this Security Instrument and the lien created hereby shall not be destroyed or terminated by the application of the doctrine of merger and in such event Lender shall continue to have and enjoy all of the rights and privileges of Lender as to the separate estates; and, as a consequence thereof, upon the foreclosure of the lien created by this Security Instrument, any Leases or subleases then existing and created by Borrower shall not be destroyed or terminated by application of the law of merger

or as a result of such foreclosure unless Lender or any purchaser at any such foreclosure sale shall so elect.  No act by or on behalf of Lender or any such purchaser shall constitute a termination of any Lease or sublease unless Lender or such purchaser shall give written notice thereof to such lessee or sublessee.

Section 18.20.  Restoration of Rights.  In case Lender shall have proceeded to enforce any right under this Security Instrument by foreclosure sale, entry or otherwise, and such proceedings shall have been discontinued or abandoned for any reason or shall have been determined adversely, then, in every such case, Borrower and Lender shall be restored to their former positions and rights hereunder with respect to the Property subject to the lien hereof.

Section 18.21.  Waiver of Statute of Limitations.  The pleadings of any statute of limitations as a defense to any and all obligations secured by this Security Instrument are hereby waived to the full extent permitted by Legal Requirements.

Section 18.22.  Advances.  This Security Instrument shall cover any and all advances made pursuant to the Loan Documents, rearrangements and renewals of the Debt and all extensions in the time of payment thereof, even though such advances, extensions or renewals be evidenced by new promissory notes or other instruments hereafter executed and irrespective of whether filed or recorded.  Likewise, the execution of this Security Instrument shall not impair or affect any other security which may be given to secure the payment of the Debt, and all such additional security shall be considered as cumulative.  The taking of additional security, execution of partial releases of the security, or any extension of time of payment of the Debt shall not diminish the force, effect or lien of this Security Instrument and shall not affect or impair the liability of Borrower and shall not affect or impair the liability of any maker, surety, or endorser for the payment of the Debt.

Section 18.23.  Application of Default Rate Not a Waiver.  Application of the Default Rate shall not be deemed to constitute a waiver of any Default or Event of Default or any rights or remedies of Lender under this Security Instrument, any other Loan Document or applicable Legal Requirements, or a consent to any extension of time for the payment or performance of any obligation with respect to which the Default Rate may be invoked.

Section 18.24.  Intervening Lien.  To the fullest extent permitted by law, any agreement hereafter made pursuant to this Security Instrument shall be superior to the rights of the holder of any intervening lien.

Section 18.25.  No Joint Venture or Partnership.  Borrower and Lender intend that the relationship created hereunder be solely that of mortgagor and mortgagee or grantor and beneficiary or borrower and lender, as the case may be.  Nothing herein is intended to create a joint venture, partnership, tenancy-in-common, or joint tenancy relationship between Borrower and Lender nor to grant Lender any interest in the Property other than that of mortgagee, beneficiary or lender.

Section 18.26.  Time of the Essence.  Time shall be of the essence in the performance of all obligations of Borrower hereunder.

105




Section 18.27.  Borrower’s Obligations Absolute.  Borrower acknowledges that Lender and/or certain Affiliates of Lender are engaged in the business of financing, owning, operating, leasing, managing, and brokering real estate and in other business ventures which may be viewed as adverse to or competitive with the business, prospect, profits, operations or condition (financial or otherwise) of Borrower.  Except as set forth to the contrary in the Loan Documents, all sums payable by Borrower hereunder shall be paid without notice or demand, counterclaim, set-off, deduction or defense and without abatement, suspension, deferment, diminution or reduction, and the obligations and liabilities of Borrower hereunder shall in no way be released, discharged, or otherwise affected (except as expressly provided herein) by reason of:  (a) any damage to or destruction of or any Taking of the Property or any portion thereof; (b) any restriction or prevention of or interference with any use of the Property or any portion thereof; (c) any title defect or encumbrance or any eviction from the Premises or any portion thereof by title paramount or otherwise; (d) any bankruptcy proceeding relating to Borrower, any General Partner, or any guarantor or indemnitor, or any action taken with respect to this Security Instrument or any other Loan Document by any trustee or receiver of Borrower or any such General Partner, guarantor or indemnitor, or by any court, in any such proceeding; (e) any claim which Borrower has or might have against Lender; (f) any default or failure on the part of Lender to perform or comply with any of the terms hereof or of any other agreement with Borrower; or (g) any other occurrence whatsoever, whether similar or dissimilar to the foregoing, whether or not Borrower shall have notice or knowledge of any of the foregoing.

Section 18.28.  Publicity.   All promotional news releases, publicity or advertising by Manager, Borrower or their respective Affiliates through any media intended to reach the general public shall not refer to the Loan Documents or the financing evidenced by the Loan Documents, or to Lender or to any of its Affiliates without the prior written approval of Lender or such Affiliate, as applicable, in each instance, such approval not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed.  Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, Borrower shall be authorized to provide information relating to the Loan Documents or the financing evidenced by the Loan Documents, or to Lender or to any of its Affiliates, to rating agencies, underwriters, potential securities investors, auditors, regulatory authorities and to any Persons which may be entitled to such information by operation of law and without limiting the foregoing to issue press releases and make Form 8-K and other securities filings containing the above-described information as it or its counsel reasonably deems required by law.  Lender shall be authorized to provide information relating to the Property, the Loan and matters relating thereto to rating agencies, underwriters, potential securities investors, auditors, regulatory authorities and to any Persons which may be entitled to such information by operation of law and may use basic transaction information (including, without limitation, the name of Borrower, the name and address of the Property and the Loan Amount) in press releases or other marketing materials.

Section 18.29.  Securitization Opinions.  In the event the Loan is included as an asset of a Securitization by Lender or any of its Affiliates, Borrower shall, within fifteen (15) Business Days after Lender’s written request therefor, at Lender’s sole cost and expense, deliver opinions in form and substance and delivered by counsel reasonably acceptable to Lender and the Rating Agency, as may be reasonably required by Lender and/or the Rating Agency in connection with such securitization.  Borrower’s failure to deliver the opinions required hereby within such fifteen (15) Business Day period shall constitute an “Event of Default” hereunder.

106




Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event shall Borrower be required to deliver a “10b-5 opinion” in connection with any Securitization.

Section 18.30.  Cooperation with Rating Agencies.  Borrower covenants and agrees that in the event the Loan is to be included as an asset of a Securitization, Borrower shall (a) gather any information reasonably required by each Rating Agency in connection with such a Securitization, (b) at Lender’s request, meet with representatives of each Rating Agency to discuss the business and operations of the Property, (c) cooperate with the reasonable requests of each Rating Agency and Lender, at Borrower’s sole cost and expense with respect to the first such request made by Lender following the Closing Date and at Lender’s expense for any additional requests thereafter, in connection with all of the foregoing as well as in connection with all other matters and the preparation of any offering documents with respect thereto, including, without limitation, entering into any amendments or modifications to this Security Instrument or to any other Loan Document which may be requested by Lender to conform to Rating Agency or market standards for a Securitization; provided, that no such modification shall modify (i) the interest rate payable under the Note, (ii) the stated maturity of the Note or (iii) the principal amount of or the amortization of principal under the Note, (d) Section 18.32 hereof, (e) any other material economic term of the Loan or (f) any provision, the effect of which would increase Borrower’s obligations or decrease Borrower’s rights under the Loan Documents to more than a de minimis extent.  Borrower acknowledges that the information provided by Borrower to Lender may be incorporated into the offering documents for a Securitization and to the fullest extent permitted, Borrower irrevocably waives all rights, if any, to prohibit such disclosures including, without limitation, any right of privacy.  Lender and each Rating Agency shall be entitled to rely on the information supplied by, or on behalf of, Borrower and Borrower indemnifies and holds harmless the Indemnified Parties, their Affiliates and each Person who controls such Persons within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as same may be amended from time to time, for, from and against any claims, demands, penalties, fines, liabilities, settlements, damages, costs and expenses of whatever kind or nature, known or unknown, contingent or otherwise, whether incurred or imposed within or outside the judicial process, including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements that arise out of or are based upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of any material fact contained in such information or arise out of or are based upon the omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated in such information or necessary in order to make the statements in such information, or in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading.

Section 18.31.  Securitization Financials.  Borrower covenants and agrees that, upon Lender’s written request therefor in connection with a Securitization, Borrower shall, at Lender’s sole cost and expense, promptly deliver (a) audited financial statements and related documentation prepared by an Independent certified public accountant that satisfy securities laws and requirements for use in a public registration statement (which may include up to three (3) years of historical audited financial statements) and (b) if, at the time one or more Disclosure Documents are being prepared in connection with a Securitization, Lender expects that Borrower alone or Borrower and one or more of its Affiliates collectively, or the Property alone or the Property and any other parcel(s) of real property, together with improvements thereon and personal property related thereto, that is “related”, within the meaning of the definition of

107




Significant Obligor, to the Property (a “Related Property”) collectively, will be a Significant Obligor, Borrower shall furnish to Lender upon request (i) the selected financial data or, if applicable, net operating income, required under Item 1112(b)(1) of Regulation AB and meeting the requirements thereof, if Lender expects that the principal amount of the Loan, together with any loans made to an Affiliate of Borrower or secured by a Related Property that is included in a Securitization with the Loan (a “Related Loan”), as of the cut-off date for such Securitization may, or if the principal amount of the Loan together with any Related Loans as of the cut-off date for such Securitization and at any time during which the Loan and any Related Loans are included in a Securitization does, equal or exceed ten percent (10%) (but less than twenty percent (20%)) of the aggregate principal amount of all mortgage loans included or expected to be included, as applicable, in the Securitization or (ii) the financial statements required under Item 1112(b)(2) of Regulation AB and meeting the requirements thereof, if Lender expects that the principal amount of the Loan together with any Related Loans as of the cut-off date for such Securitization may, or if the principal amount of the Loan together with any Related Loans as of the cut-off date for such Securitization and at any time during which the Loan and any Related Loans are included in a Securitization does, equal or exceed twenty percent (20%) of the aggregate principal amount of all mortgage loans included or expected to be included, as applicable, in the Securitization.  Such financial data or financial statements shall be furnished to Lender within ten (10) Business Days after notice from Lender in connection with the preparation of Disclosure Documents for the Securitization and, with respect to the data or financial statements required pursuant to clause (b) hereof, (A) not later than thirty (30) days after the end of each fiscal quarter of Borrower and (B) not later than seventy-five (75) days after the end of each Fiscal Year; provided, however, that Borrower shall not be obligated to furnish financial data or financial statements pursuant to clauses (A) or (B) of this sentence with respect to any period for which a filing pursuant to the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 in connection with or relating to the Securitization is not required.

Section 18.32.  Exculpation.  Notwithstanding anything herein or in any other Loan Document to the contrary, except as otherwise set forth in this Section 18.32 to the contrary, Lender shall not enforce the liability and obligation of Borrower and (a) if Borrower is a partnership, its constituent partners or any of their respective partners, (b) if Borrower is a trust, its beneficiaries or any of their respective Partners (as hereinafter defined), (c) if Borrower is a corporation, any of its shareholders, directors, principals, officers or employees, or (d) if Borrower is a limited liability company, any of its members and their respective legal, equitable and beneficial owner (the Persons described in the foregoing clauses (a) - (d), as the case may be, together with any direct or indirect beneficial or legal owners of such Persons, are hereinafter referred to as the “Partners”) to perform and observe the obligations contained in this Security Instrument or any of the other Loan Documents by any action or proceeding wherein a money judgment shall be sought against Borrower or the Partners, except that Lender may bring a foreclosure action, action for specific performance, or other appropriate action or proceeding (including, without limitation, an action to obtain a deficiency judgment) solely for the purpose of enabling Lender to realize upon (i) Borrower’s interest in the Property and (ii) any other collateral given to Lender under the Loan Documents (the “Default Collateral”); provided, however, that any judgment in any such action or proceeding shall be enforceable against Borrower and the Partners only to the extent of any such Default Collateral.  The provisions of this Section shall not, however, (a) impair the validity of the Debt evidenced by the Note or in

108




any way affect or impair the lien of this Security Instrument or any of the other Loan Documents or the right of Lender to foreclose this Security Instrument following the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default; (b) impair the right of Lender to name Borrower as a party defendant in any action or suit for judicial foreclosure and sale under this Security Instrument; (c) affect the validity or enforceability of the Note, this Security Instrument, or any of the other Loan Documents, or impair the right of Lender to seek a personal judgment against Guarantor; (d) impair the right of Lender to obtain the appointment of a receiver; (e) impair the enforcement of the Assignment; (f) impair the right of Lender to bring suit for monetary judgment with respect to damages incurred by Lender resulting from fraud or intentional misrepresentation by Borrower, or any other Person in connection with this Security Instrument, the Note or the other Loan Documents, and the foregoing provisions shall not modify, diminish or discharge the liability of Borrower or the Partners with respect to same; (g) impair the right of Lender to bring suit for a monetary judgment with respect to Borrower’s misappropriation of tenant security deposits or Rent, and the foregoing provisions shall not modify, diminish or discharge the liability of Borrower or the Partners with respect to same; (h) impair the right of Lender to obtain Loss Proceeds due to Lender pursuant to this Security Instrument; (i) impair the right of Lender to enforce the provisions of Sections 2.02(g), 16.01 or 16.02, inclusive of this Security Instrument, even after repayment in full by Borrower of the Debt or to bring suit for a monetary judgment against Borrower or the Partners with respect to any obligation set forth in said Sections; (j) prevent or in any way hinder Lender from exercising, or constitute a defense, or counterclaim, or other basis for relief in respect of the exercise of, any other remedy against any or all of the collateral securing the Note as provided in the Loan Documents; (k) impair the right of Lender to bring suit for a monetary judgment with respect to damages incurred by Lender resulting from any misapplication or conversion of Loss Proceeds, and the foregoing provisions shall not modify, diminish or discharge the liability of Borrower or the Partners with respect to same; (l) impair the right of Lender to sue for, seek or demand a deficiency judgment against Borrower solely for the purpose of foreclosing the Property or any part thereof, or realizing upon the Default Collateral; provided, however, that any such deficiency judgment referred to in this clause (l) shall be enforceable against Borrower and the Partners only to the extent of any of the Default Collateral; (m) impair the ability of Lender to bring suit for a monetary judgment with respect to damages incurred by Lender resulting from arson or waste to or of the Property or damage to the Property committed by Borrower or its Affiliates; (n) impair the right of Lender to bring a suit for a monetary judgment in the event of the exercise of any right or remedy under any federal, state or local forfeiture laws resulting in the loss of the lien of this Security Instrument, or the priority thereof, against the Property; (o) be deemed a waiver of any right which Lender may have under Sections 506(a), 506(b), 1111(b) or any other provision of the Bankruptcy Code to file a claim for the full amount of the Debt or to require that all collateral shall continue to secure all of the Debt; (p) impair the right of Lender to bring suit for monetary judgment with respect to damages incurred by Lender resulting from any losses resulting from any claims, actions or proceedings initiated by Borrower (or any Affiliate of Borrower) alleging that the relationship of Borrower and Lender is that of joint venturers, partners, tenants in common, joint tenants or any relationship other than that of debtor and creditor; (q) impair the right of Lender to bring suit for a monetary judgment for damages incurred by Lender in the event of a Transfer in violation of the provisions of Article IX hereof, including, without limitation, the failure to obtain Lender’s consent to a Transfer as, when and to the extent required thereunder; (r) impair the right of Lender to bring suit for a monetary judgment in the event that

109




Borrower moves its principal place of business or its books and records relating to the Property which are governed by the UCC, or changes its name, its jurisdiction of organization, type of organization or other legal structure or, if it has one, organizational identification number, without first giving Lender thirty (30) days prior written notice or (s) impair the right of Lender to bring suit for a monetary judgment in the event that Borrower changes its name of otherwise does anything which would make the information set forth in any UCC Financing Statements relating to the Property materially misleading without giving Lender thirty (30) days prior written notice thereof.  The provisions of this Section 18.32 shall be inapplicable to Borrower if (a) any proceeding, action, petition or filing under the Bankruptcy Code, or any similar state or federal law now or hereafter in effect relating to bankruptcy, reorganization or insolvency, or the arrangement or adjustment of debts, shall be filed by, consented to or acquiesced in by or with respect to Borrower, or if Borrower shall institute any proceeding for its dissolution or liquidation, or shall make an assignment for the benefit of creditors or (b) Lender obtains a judgment that Borrower or any Affiliate of Borrower has, other than in good faith, contested or in any material way interfered with, directly or indirectly (collectively, a “Contest”), any foreclosure action, UCC sale or other material remedy exercised by Lender upon the occurrence of any Event of Default whether by making any motion, bringing any counterclaim, claiming any defense, seeking any injunction or other restraint, commencing any action, or otherwise, in which event Lender shall have recourse against all of the assets of Borrower including, without limitation, any right, title and interest of Borrower in and to the Property and any partnership interests in Borrower (but excluding the other assets of such Partners to the extent Lender would not have had recourse thereto other than in accordance with the provisions of this Section 18.32).

Section 18.33.  Component Notes.  Lender, at its sole cost and expense, without in any way limiting Lender’s other rights hereunder, in its sole and absolute discretion, shall have the right at any time to require Borrower to execute and deliver “component” notes (including senior and junior notes), in substitution for one (1) or both of Note A-1 and/or Note A-2, which notes may be paid in such order of priority as may be designated by Lender, provided that (a) the aggregate principal amount of such “component” notes shall equal the outstanding principal balance of the Loan immediately prior to the creation of such “component” notes, (b) the weighted average interest rate of all such “component” notes shall on the date created equal the interest rate which was applicable to the Loan immediately prior to the creation of such “component” notes, (c) the debt service payments on all such “component” notes shall on the date created equal the debt service payment which was due under the Loan immediately prior to the creation of such component notes and (d) the other terms and provisions of each of the “component” notes shall be identical in substance and substantially similar in form to the Loan Documents.  Borrower shall cooperate with all reasonable requests of Lender in order to establish the “component” notes and shall execute and deliver such documents as shall reasonably be required by Lender in connection therewith, all in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Lender, including, without limitation, the severance of security documents if requested.  It shall be an Event of Default if Borrower fails to comply with any of the terms, covenants or conditions of this Section 18.33 after the expiration of fifteen (15) Business Days after notice thereof.

Section 18.34.  Mezzanine Loan Option.  Lender shall have the right at any time to divide the Loan into two or more parts (the “Mezzanine Option”):  a “mortgage loan” and one or more

110




“mezzanine loans.”  The principal amount of the mortgage loan plus the principal amount of the mezzanine loan(s) shall equal the outstanding principal balance of the Loan immediately prior to the creation of the mortgage loan and the mezzanine loan(s).  In effectuating the foregoing, Lender will make one or more loans to one or more entities that will be the direct or indirect equity owner(s) of Borrower as described in Section 18.34(b) (collectively, the “Mezzanine Borrower”).  The Mezzanine Borrower will contribute the amount of the mezzanine loan(s) to Borrower (in its capacity as borrower under the mortgage loan, “mortgage borrower”) and the mortgage borrower will apply the contribution to pay down the Loan to the mortgage loan amount.  The mortgage loan and the mezzanine loan(s) will be on the same terms and subject to the same conditions set forth in the Loan Documents except as follows.  The mezzanine loan(s) shall be made pursuant to Lender’s standard mezzanine loan documents.

(a)           Lender shall have the right to establish different interest rates and debt service payments for the mortgage loan and the mezzanine loan(s) and to require the payment of the mortgage loan and the mezzanine loan(s) in such order of priority as may be designated by Lender; provided, that (i) the total loan amounts for the mortgage loan and the mezzanine loan(s) shall equal the amount of the Loan immediately prior to the creation of the mortgage loan and the mezzanine loan(s), (ii) the weighted average interest rate of the mortgage loan and the mezzanine loan(s) shall on the date created equal the interest rate which was applicable to the Loan immediately prior to creation of the mortgage loan and mezzanine loan(s) and (iii) the debt service payments on the mortgage loan note and the mezzanine loan note(s) shall on the date created equal the debt service payment which was due under the Loan immediately prior to creation of a mortgage loan and a mezzanine loan(s).

(b)           The Mezzanine Borrower shall be a special purpose, bankruptcy remote entity pursuant to applicable Rating Agency criteria and shall own directly or indirectly one hundred percent (100%) of the mortgage borrower.  The security for the mezzanine loan(s) shall be a pledge of one hundred percent (100%) of the direct and indirect ownership interests in the mortgage borrower.

(c)           Borrower shall cooperate with all reasonable requests of Lender in order to convert the Loan into a mortgage loan and one or more mezzanine loans and shall execute and deliver such documents as shall reasonably be required by Lender in connection therewith, including, without limitation, the delivery of non-consolidation, enforceability, authorization and execution opinions and an “Eagle 9” or “UCC plus” (or equivalent) UCC insurance policy and the modification of organizational documents and loan documents and the transfer of the membership interest in Borrower to the Mezzanine Borrower.

It shall be an Event of Default if Borrower fails to comply with any of the terms, covenants or conditions of this Section 18.34 after expiration of ten (10) Business Days notice thereof.

Section 18.35.  Trustee’s Fees.  Borrower shall pay all costs, fees and expenses incurred by Trustee and Trustee’s agents and counsel in connection with the performance by Trustee of Trustee’s duties hereunder, and all such costs, fees and expenses shall be secured by this Security Instrument.

111




Section 18.36.  Concerning the Trustee.  Trustee shall be under no duty to take any action hereunder except as expressly required hereunder or by law, or to perform any act which would involve Trustee in any expense or liability or to institute or defend any suit in respect hereof, unless properly indemnified to Trustee’s reasonable satisfaction.  Trustee, by acceptance of this Security Instrument, covenants to perform and fulfill the trusts herein created, being liable, however, only for gross negligence or willful misconduct, and hereby waives any statutory fee and agrees to accept reasonable compensation, in lieu thereof, for any services rendered by Trustee in accordance with the terms hereof.  Trustee may resign at any time by written instrument to that effect delivered to Lender.  Lender may remove Trustee at any time or from time to time and select a successor trustee.  In the event of the death, removal, resignation, refusal to act, or inability to act of Trustee, or in its sole discretion for any reason whatsoever Lender may, without notice and without specifying any reasons therefor and without applying to any court, select and appoint a successor trustee, by an instrument recorded wherever this Security Instrument is recorded, and all powers, rights, duties and authority of Trustee, as aforesaid, shall thereupon become vested in such successor.  Such substitute trustee shall not be required to give bond for the faithful performance of the duties of Trustee hereunder unless required by Lender.  The procedure provided for in this Section 18.36 for substitution of Trustee shall be in addition to and not in exclusion of any other provisions for substitution, by law or otherwise.

Section 18.37.  Assignment Upon Repayment.  At Borrower’s request, upon (a) Borrower’s prepayment or repayment of the Debt in full, whether by prepayment or otherwise and (b) payment by Borrower of Lender’s reasonable counsel fees and disbursements and other reasonable costs, if any, and provided Borrower (i) refinances the Loan through any institution other than Lender, or (ii) sells any of the Premises, and an institution other than Lender is involved in the financing of such sale, Lender shall deliver to Borrower or Borrower’s designee (x) an assignment of the Note, this Security Instrument and the other Loan Documents, without recourse, representation or warranty, together with the Note (or an affidavit of lost note) duly endorsed by Lender to Borrower’s designee, or (y) a satisfaction and release of lien in respect hereof, in recordable form, as well as all appropriate UCC termination statements and the release and termination of all other security for the Loan.  Borrower shall pay all of Lender’s reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred in connection with the foregoing.

Section 18.38.  Primary Servicer.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein or in any other Loan Document, in the event that Note A-1 and Note A-2 are held by different Persons, Borrower shall be required to deal with only one Person acting on behalf of all Persons comprising Lender (the “Primary Servicer”), with respect to any consents, approvals or notices required or permitted from, or to, Lender pursuant to the Loan Documents (it being understood that the Primary Servicer may need to consult with other Persons that hold a portion of Lender’s rights and obligations under the Loan or with the Rating Agencies in connection with any such consent, approval or notice and that a so-called “special servicer” may act as such Primary Servicer).  Lender may replace such Primary Servicer with another Primary Servicer at any time in Lender’s sole discretion.  As of the date hereof, Wachovia Bank, National Association is hereby designated as the Primary Servicer and unless and until Borrower is notified by Wachovia Bank, National Association of a new Primary Servicer, Borrower shall be permitted to rely conclusively and irrevocably on such designation.

112




Section 18.39.  Certain Matters Relating to Property Located in the State of California.  With respect to the Property which is located in the State of California, notwithstanding anything contained herein:

(a)           Power of Sale.  Lender may deliver to Trustee a written declaration of an Event of Default and demand for sale which requests that Trustee record and serve a written notice of default and of election to cause the Property to be sold, and cause any or all of the Property to be sold under the power of sale granted by this Security Instrument in the manner hereinbelow specified in this Section 18.39.

(i)            Declaration of Default; Acceptance.  Lender shall (1) deliver to Trustee a written declaration of an Event of Default which recites facts which demonstrate Borrower’s default, and a demand that Trustee sell the Property, and (2) deposit the Note and this Security Instrument, if required by law, with Trustee.  Trustee shall accept Lender’s declaration of an Event of Default as true and as demonstrative of Borrower’s default, and shall record and serve a written notice of default and of election to cause the Property to be sold in the manner required by applicable law.

(ii)           Rescission of Notice of Default.  Lender may rescind any notice of default at any time before Trustee’s sale by executing a notice of rescission and recording it.  The recordation of the notice will constitute a cancellation of any prior declaration of an Event of Default and demand for sale and of any acceleration of maturity of the Debt affected by any prior declaration or notice of an Event of Default.  The exercise by Lender of the right of rescission will not constitute a waiver of any default then existing or subsequently occurring, or impair the right of Lender to execute other declarations of default and demand for sale, or notices of default and of election to cause the Property to be sold, nor otherwise affect the Note or this Security Instrument, or any of the rights, obligations or remedies of Lender or Trustee hereunder or under applicable law.

(iii)          Date of Trustee’s Sale.  If, after the expiration of any period of time provided by applicable law, Borrower’s Event of Default has not been cured and Borrower’s Debt has not been reinstated in the manner required by applicable law, Trustee shall establish a date for the sale of the Property and record and serve a notice of sale in the manner required by applicable law.

(iv)          Trustee’s Sale.  If, on or before the date scheduled for the sale of the Property, Borrower’s Event of Default has not been cured and the Debt has not been reinstated, Trustee, without demand on Borrower, shall sell the Property at the time and place fixed by Trustee in the notice of sale, either as a whole or in separate parcels, and in such order as Trustee may determine, at public auction, and to any Person, including Borrower, Lender or Trustee.  The Property shall be sold to the highest bidder for cash payable at the time of sale.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, instead of paying cash for the Property, Lender may credit the amount of its auction sale bid by the amount of the Debt, or any fraction thereof, including, without limitation, Trustee’s cost and expenses from the sale of the Property.  Lender will be entitled to bid, at any trustee’s or foreclosure sale of the Property, the amount of the Environmental Damages (as hereinafter defined), any costs incurred by Lender with respect to any Environmental Problem and interest in

113




addition to the amount of other Debt as a credit bid, the equivalent of cash.  Furthermore, if a bid has been made by Lender in the amount of the Debt, other than Debt for Environmental Damages and any costs incurred by Lender with respect to any Environmental Problem incurred by Lender, any Debt comprised of the Environmental Damages and any costs incurred by Lender with respect to any Environmental Problem shall not be discharged by virtue of the full credit bid and shall remain an obligation of Borrower to be satisfied under this Security Instrument.

(v)           Delivery of Deed.  Trustee shall deliver to the purchaser of the Property a deed which conveys title to the Property without any covenant or warranty, express or implied.  The recitals in the deed of any matters or facts shall be conclusive proof of their truthfulness.

(vi)          Postponement of Trustee’s Sale.  Trustee may postpone the sale of all or any portion of the Property in accordance with California Civil Code §2924g, by public announcement at the time and place of sale, and from time to time thereafter Trustee may postpone such sale by public announcement at the time fixed by the preceding postponement or as otherwise allowed by said statute.

(vii)         Application of Sale Proceeds.  The proceeds of Trustee’s public auction of the Property shall be applied in the following manner: (1) payment of the portion of the Debt attributable to the costs and expenses of the sale; (2) repayment of the portion of the Debt attributable to any sums expended or advanced by Lender (other than the Environmental Damages and costs incurred by Lender with respect to any Environmental Problem) under the terms of this Security Instrument, plus interest at the Default Rate; (3) payment of all other Debt and all other obligations of Borrower secured by this Security Instrument, in any order that Lender chooses; (4) repayment of the portion of the Debt attributable to the Environmental Damages and costs incurred by Lender with respect to any Environmental Problem under the terms of this Security Instrument, plus interest at the Default Rate; and (5) the remainder, if any, to satisfy the outstanding balance of obligations secured by any junior encumbrances in the order of their priority, then to Borrower or Borrower’s successor in interest.

(viii)        Proof of Compliance with the Law.  If there is a sale of the Property, or any part of it, and the execution of a deed for it, the recital of default and of recording notice of breach and election of sale, and of the elapsing of the required time between the recording and the following notice, and of the sale should be made, will be conclusive proof of the default, recording, election, elapsing of time, and the due giving of notice, and that the sale was regularly and validly made on proper demand by Lender.  Any deed with these recitals will be effectual and conclusive against Borrower, its successors, and assigns, and all other Persons.  The receipt for the purchase money recited or in any deed executed to the purchaser will be sufficient discharge to the purchaser from all obligations to see to the proper application of the purchase money.

(b)           Acceptance by Trustee.  Trustee accepts this trust when this Security Instrument, duly executed and acknowledged, is made a public record as provided by law.  Trustee is not

obligated to notify any party hereto of pending sale under any other deed of trust or of any action or proceeding in which Borrower, Lender or Trustee shall be a party unless brought by Trustee.

(c)           Rights and Duties.  It shall be no part of the duty of Trustee to see to any recording, filing or registration of this Security Instrument or any other instrument in addition or supplemental hereto, or to give any notice thereof, or to see to the payment of or be under any duty in respect of any tax or assessment or other governmental charge which may be levied or assessed on the Property, or any part thereof, or against Trustee, or to see to the performance or observance by Borrower of any of the covenants and agreements contained herein.  Trustee shall not be responsible for the execution, acknowledgement or validity of this Security Instrument or of any instrument in addition or supplemental hereto or for the sufficiency of the security purported to be created hereby, and makes no representation in respect thereof or in respect of the rights of Lender.  Trustee shall have the right to advice of counsel upon any matters arising hereunder and shall be fully protected in relying as to legal matters on the advice of counsel.  Trustee shall not incur any personal liability hereunder except for its own gross negligence or willful misconduct and Trustee shall have the right to rely on any instrument, document or signature authorizing or supporting any action taken or proposed to be taken by Trustee hereunder and believed by Trustee in good faith to be genuine.

(d)           Subrogation to Existing Liens; Vendor’s Lien.  To the extent that proceeds of the Note are used to pay Debt secured by any outstanding lien, security interest, charge or prior encumbrance against the Property, such proceeds have been advanced by Lender at Trustee’s request, and Lender shall be subrogated to any and all rights, security interests and liens owned by any owner or holder of such outstanding liens, security interests, charges or encumbrances, however remote, irrespective of whether said liens, security interests, charges or encumbrances are released, and all of the same are recognized as valid and subsisting and are renewed and continued and merged herein to secure the Debt, but the terms and provisions of this Security Instrument shall govern and control the manner and terms of enforcement of the liens, security interests, charges and encumbrances to which Lender is subrogated hereunder.  It is expressly understood that, in consideration of the payment of such indebtedness by Lender, Borrower hereby waives and releases all demands and causes of action for offsets and payments in connection with the said indebtedness.  If all or any portion of the proceeds of the loan evidenced by the Note or of any other secured indebtedness has been advanced for the purpose of paying the purchase price for all or a part of the Property, no vendor’s lien is waived; and Lender shall have, and is hereby granted, a vendor’s lien on the Property as cumulative additional security for the secured indebtedness.  Lender may foreclose under this Security Instrument or under the vendor’s lien without waiving the other or may foreclose under both.

(e)           Substitute Trustee.  Trustee may resign by an instrument in writing addressed to Lender, or Trustee may be removed at any time with or without cause by an instrument in writing executed by Lender.  In case of the death, resignation, removal or disqualification of Trustee, or if for any reason Lender shall deem it desirable to appoint a substitute or successor trustee to act instead of the herein named trustee or any substitute or successor trustee, then Lender shall have the right and is hereby authorized and empowered to appoint a successor trustee, or a substitute trustee, without other formality than appointment and designation in writing executed by Lender, and the authority hereby conferred shall extend to the appointment

115




of other successor and substitute trustees successively until the Debt secured hereby has been paid in full, or until the Property is fully and finally sold hereunder.  In the event that the Debt is owned by more than one person or entity, the holder or holders of not less than a majority in amount of such indebtedness shall have the right and authority to make the appointment of a successor or substitute trustee as provided for in the preceding sentence or to remove Trustee as provided in the first sentence of this Section 18.39(e).  Such appointment and designation by Lender, or by the holder or holders of not less than a majority of the Debt secured hereby, shall be full evidence of the right and authority to make the same and of all facts therein recited.  If Lender is a corporation or association or trust and such appointment is executed in its behalf by an officer or trustee of such corporation or association or trust, such appointment shall be conclusively presumed to be executed with authority and shall be valid and sufficient without proof of any action by the board of directors or any superior officer of the corporation or association or trust.  Upon the making of any such appointment and designation, all of the estate and title of Trustee in the Property shall vest in the named successor or substitute trustee, and it shall thereupon succeed to and shall hold, possess and execute, all of the rights, powers, privileges, immunities and duties herein conferred upon Trustee; but, nevertheless, upon the written request of Lender or of the successor or substitute trustee, the trustee ceasing to act shall execute and deliver an instrument transferring to such successor or substitute trustee all of the estate and title in the Property of the trustee so ceasing to act, together with all the rights, powers, privileges, immunities and duties herein conferred upon the Trustee, and shall duly assign, transfer and deliver any of the properties and moneys held by said trustee hereunder to said successor or substitute trustee.  All references herein to “Trustee” shall be deemed to refer to Trustee (including any successor or substitute appointed and designated as herein provided) from time to time acting hereunder.

(f)            No Liability of Trustee.  TRUSTEE SHALL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY ERROR OF JUDGMENT OR ACT DONE BY TRUSTEE IN GOOD FAITH, OR BE OTHERWISE RESPONSIBLE OR ACCOUNTABLE UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES WHATSOEVER (INCLUDING TRUSTEE’S NEGLIGENCE), EXCEPT FOR TRUSTEE’S GROSS NEGLIGENCE OR MISCONDUCT.  Trustee shall have the right to rely on any instrument, document or signature authorizing or supporting any action taken or proposed to be taken by it hereunder, believed by it in good faith to be genuine.  All moneys received by Trustee shall, until used or applied as herein provided, be held in trust for the purposes for which they were received, but need not be segregated in any manner from any other moneys (except to the extent required by law), and Trustee shall be under no liability for interest on any moneys received by it hereunder.  Trustee hereby ratifies and confirms any and all acts which the herein-named Trustee or its successor or successors, substitute or substitutes, in this trust, shall do lawfully by virtue hereof.

(g)           Judgment on Environmental Provision.

(i)            Judgment Sought.  Pursuant to California Code of Civil Procedure §736, Lender may bring an action (as such term is defined in California Code of Civil Procedure §22) for breach of contract against Borrower for breach of any provision contained in Article XVI hereof (the “Environmental Provision”), for the recovery of the Environmental Damages listed in Section (ii) hereof, and for the enforcement of the

116




Environmental Provision, whether the Environmental Provision is or was contained in or secured by this Security Instrument and whether or not this Security Instrument has been discharged, reconveyed or foreclosed upon.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, no injunction for the enforcement of an Environmental Provision may be issued after (x) satisfaction of the Debt or (y) transfer of Borrower’s right, title and interest in and to the “Real Property Security” (as such term is defined in California Code of Civil Procedure §736(f)(4)) in a bona fide transaction to an unaffiliated third party for fair value.

(ii)           Damages.  The damages that Lender may recover pursuant to Section (i) above shall be limited to reimbursement or indemnification of the following (collectively, the “Environmental Damages”): (w) if not pursuant to an order of any Governmental Authority relating to the cleanup, remediation, or other response action required by any applicable rule promulgated by a Governmental Authority, those costs relating to a reasonable and good faith cleanup, remediation, or other response action concerning a Release (such term shall have the meaning ascribed to it under California Civil Code §2929.5 and under California Civil Code of Procedure §726.5 and §736) or threatened release of Hazardous Materials which is anticipated by the Environmental Provision; (x) if pursuant to an order of any Governmental Authority which is anticipated by the Environmental Provision, all amounts reasonably advanced in good faith by Lender in connection therewith, provided that Lender negotiated, or attempted to negotiate, in good faith to minimize the amounts it was required to advance under the order; (y) indemnification against all liabilities of Lender to any third party relating to the breach and not arising from acts, omissions or other conduct which occur after Borrower is no longer an owner or operator of the “Real Property Security” and provided Lender is not responsible for the environmentally impaired condition of the Real Property Security, in accordance with the standards set forth in California Code of Civil Procedure §726.5(d) (for the purposes of this Section (ii), the term “owner or operator” means those persons described in §101(20)(A) of CERCLA); and (z) attorneys’ fees and costs incurred by Lender relating to the breach.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Environmental Damages recoverable by Lender shall not include (w) any part of the principal amount or accrued interest of the Debt, except for any amounts advanced by Lender to cure or mitigate the breach of any Environmental Provision that is added to the principal amount, and contractual interest thereon, or (x) amounts which relate to a Release which was knowingly permitted, caused or contributed to by Lender or any affiliate or agent of Lender.

(h)           Waiver of Lien.  Pursuant to the terms of California Code of Civil Procedure §726.5, Lender may (i) waive its lien against (A) any parcel of “Real Property Security” that is “environmentally impaired” (as such term is defined in California Code of Civil Procedure §726.5(e)(3)), or is an “affected parcel” (as such term is defined in California Code Civil Procedure §726.5(e)(1)), and (B) all or any portion of the personal property attached to such parcels and (ii) exercise (A) the rights and remedies of an unsecured creditor including reduction of its claim against Borrower to judgment and (B) any other rights and remedies permitted by law.  As between Lender and Borrower, for purposes of California Code of Civil Procedure §726.5, Borrower shall have the burden of proving that (1) the Release or threatened Release was not (x) knowingly or negligently caused or contributed to, or (y) knowingly or willfully

117




permitted or acquiesced to, by Borrower or any related party (as such term is defined in California Code of Civil Procedure §726.5(e)(6)), or any affiliate or agent of Borrower or any related party, and (2) in conjunction with the making, renewal or modification of the Debt, (x) neither Borrower, any related party nor any affiliate or agent of Borrower or any related party had actual knowledge or notice of the Release or threatened Release of any Hazardous Materials, or (y) if such a person had knowledge or notice of the Release or threatened Release, Borrower made written disclosure thereof to Lender after Lender’s written request for information concerning the environmental condition of the Real Property Security, or (z) Lender otherwise obtained actual knowledge thereof prior to the making, renewal or modification of the Debt.

(i)            Reconveyance Upon Payment of Debt.  In the event that Borrower shall cause to be paid the entire Debt and perform in full all of its obligations under the Loan Documents, Lender shall release and shall cause Trustee to release the Property from the lien of this Security Instrument and to reconvey (without warranty by or recourse against Trustee or Lender) the Property to Borrower.  Upon Trustee’s receipt of Lender’s request for reconveyance, Trustee shall reconvey, without warranty, the Property or that portion held.  When the Property has been fully reconveyed, the last reconveyance will operate as a reassignment of all future Rents to the Person legally entitled.

(j)            Environmental Addendum.

(i)            Lender shall have the right, but not the obligation, to enter upon the Property, from time to time upon prior reasonable notice, and in its sole and absolute discretion, to conduct inspections of the Property and the activities conducted thereon to determine the compliance with all Environmental Statutes, the presence of Hazardous Materials and the existence of any potential damages as a result of the condition of the Property.  In furtherance thereof, Borrower hereby grants to Lender and its agents, employees and qualified consultants and contractors, the right to enter upon the Property and to perform such tests on the Property (including invasive tests) as are reasonably necessary.  Lender shall conduct such inspections and tests at reasonable times, shall use its best efforts to minimize interference with the operation of the Property and agrees to restore the condition of the Property, but Lender shall not be liable for any interference caused thereby unless due to the gross negligence or willful misconduct or omission of Lender.  In furtherance of the purposes above, without limitation of any of Lender’s other rights, Lender may: (x) obtain a court order to enforce Lender’s right to enter and inspect the Property under California Civil Code §2929.5, to which the decision of Lender as to whether there exists any Hazardous Materials on or about the Property in violation of any Environmental Statutes, or a breach by Borrower of any environmental provision of this Security Instrument or any of the other Loan Documents, will be deemed reasonable and conclusive as between the parties; and (y) have a receiver be appointed under California Code of Civil Procedure §564 to enforce Lender’s right to enter and inspect the Property for the purpose set forth above.

(ii)           Borrower and Lender agree that: (x) this paragraph is intended as Lender’s written request for information and Borrower’s written response concerning the environmental condition of the Property as provided in California Code of Civil

118




Procedure §726.5; and (y) each representation, warranty or covenant, or indemnity made by Borrower in this Security Instrument or in the other Loan Documents that relates to the environmental condition of the Property is intended by Borrower and Lender to be an “environmental provision” for the purposes of California Code of Civil Procedure §736 and will survive the payment of the Debt and the termination or expiration of this Security Instrument and will not be affected by Lender’s acquisition of any interest in the Property, whether by full credit bid at foreclosure, deed in lieu of that, or otherwise.  If there is any transfer of any portion of Borrower’s interest in the Property, any successor-in-interest to Borrower agrees by its succession to that interest that the written request made pursuant to this paragraph will be deemed remade to the successor-in-interest without any further or additional action on the part of Lender and that by assuming the Debt secured by this Security Instrument or by accepting the interest of Borrower subject to the lien of this Security Instrument, the successor remakes each of the representations and warranties in this Security Instrument and agrees to be bound by each covenant in this Security Instrument, including but not limited to any indemnity provision.

(k)           Financing Statement.  This Security Instrument shall also constitute a financing statement pursuant to UCC §9502, and shall be filed as a fixture filing in the Official Records of the County Recorder of the County in which the Property is located and covers goods which are or are to become fixtures on the Property.

(l)            Intentionally Omitted.

(m)          Intentionally Omitted.

(n)           Intentionally Omitted.

(o)           Fixture Filing.  The personal property in which Lender has a security interest includes goods which are or shall become fixtures on the Property.  This Security Instrument is intended to serve as a fixture filing pursuant to the terms of the California Uniform Commercial Code.  This filing shall remain in effect as a fixture filing until this Security Instrument is released or otherwise satisfied of record or its effectiveness otherwise terminates with respect to the Property.  In that regard, the following information is provided:

Name of Debtor:                                                                                                         Mondrian Holdings LLC

Address of Debtor:                                                                                         See Section 11.01 above.

Name of Secured Party:                                                                    Wachovia Bank, National Association

Address of Secured Party:                                                    See Section 11.01 above.

119




(p)           Waiver of Statutory Regulation.  By initialing below, Borrower waives any right under California Civil Code §2954.10 or otherwise to prepay the Note, in whole or in part, without a Prepayment Charge (as described in Section 13.03 hereof). Borrower acknowledges that prepayment of the Note may result in Lender’s incurring additional losses, costs, expenses, and liabilities, including, but not limited to, lost revenue and lost profits. Borrower therefore agrees to pay any prepayment charges on the terms and conditions provided herein, including, without limitation, upon any Event of Default attributable to the transfer or conveyance of any right, title, or interest in the Property.

BORROWER AGREES THAT LENDER’S WILLINGNESS TO MAKE THE LOAN AT THE INTEREST RATE FOR THE TERM SET FORTH HEREIN CONSTITUTES ADEQUATE CONSIDERATION, GIVEN INDIVIDUAL WEIGHT BY BORROWER, FOR THIS WAIVER AND AGREEMENT.

Section 2.1. Revolving Loans.

(a)           Generally.

(i)            Loans to Borrower. Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, including without limitation, Section 2.13., during the period from the Effective Date to but excluding the Termination Date, each Lender severally and not jointly agrees to make Revolving Loans to the Borrower in an aggregate principal amount at any one time outstanding up to, but not exceeding, the lesser of (x) the amount of such Lender’s Commitment and (y) such Lender’s Commitment Percentage of the Borrowing Base.

(ii)           Loans to Florida Borrower. Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, including without limitation, Section 2.13., during the period from the Effective Date to but excluding the Termination Date, each Lender severally and not jointly agrees to make Revolving Loans to the Florida Borrower in an aggregate principal amount at any one time outstanding up to, but not exceeding, the lesser of (x) the amount of such Lender’s Commitment and (y) such Lender’s Commitment Percentage of the Florida Sublimit.

(iii)          Revolving Nature of Loans. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, during the period from the Effective Date to but excluding the Termination Date, the Borrowers may borrow, repay and reborrow Revolving Loans hereunder.

(b)           Requesting Revolving Loans. The Borrower shall give the Agent notice pursuant to a Notice of Borrowing or telephonic notice of each borrowing of Revolving Loans. Each Notice of Borrowing shall be delivered to the Agent before 11:00 a.m. (i) in the case of LIBOR Loans, on the date three Business Days prior to the proposed date of such borrowing and (ii) in the case of Base Rate Loans, on the date one Business Day prior to the proposed date of such borrowing. Any such telephonic notice shall include all information to be specified in a written Notice of Borrowing and shall be promptly confirmed in writing by the Borrower pursuant to a Notice of Borrowing sent to the Agent by telecopy on the same day of the giving of such

26




telephonic notice. The Agent will transmit by telecopy the Notice of Borrowing (or the information contained in such Notice of Borrowing) to each Lender promptly upon receipt by the Agent. Each Notice of Borrowing or telephonic notice of each borrowing shall be irrevocable once given and binding on the Borrower or the Florida Borrower, as applicable.

(c)           Disbursements of Revolving Loan Proceeds. No later than 1:00 p.m. on the date specified in the Notice of Borrowing, each Lender will make available for the account of its applicable Lending Office to the Agent at the Principal Office, in immediately available funds, the proceeds of the Revolving Loan to be made by such Lender. Unless the Agent shall have been notified by any Lender prior to the specified date of borrowing that such Lender does not intend to make available to the Agent the Revolving Loan to be made by such Lender on such date, the Agent may assume that such Lender will make the proceeds of such Revolving Loan available to the Agent on the date of the requested borrowing as set forth in the Notice of Borrowing and the Agent may (but shall not be obligated to), in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the Borrower the amount of such Revolving Loan to be provided by such Lender. Subject to satisfaction of the applicable conditions set forth in Article VI. for such borrowing, the Agent will make the proceeds of such borrowing available to the Borrower or the Florida Borrower, as applicable, no later than 2:00 p.m. on the date and at the account specified by the Borrower in such Notice of Borrowing.

Section 2.2. Swingline Loans.

(a)           Swingline Loans. Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, during the period from the Effective Date to but excluding the Termination Date, the Swingline Lender agrees to make Swingline Loans to the Borrower in an aggregate principal amount at any one time outstanding up to, but not exceeding, the amount of the Swingline Commitment. If at any time the aggregate principal amount of the Swingline Loans outstanding at such time exceeds the Swingline Commitment in effect at such time, the Borrower shall immediately pay the Agent for the account of the Swingline Lender the amount of such excess. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, the Borrower may borrow, repay and reborrow Swingline Loans hereunder.

(b)           Procedure for Borrowing Swingline Loans. The Borrower shall give the Agent and the Swingline Lender notice pursuant to a Notice of Swingline Borrowing or telephonic notice of each borrowing of a Swingline Loan. Each Notice of Swingline Borrowing shall be delivered to the Swingline Lender no later than 3:00 p.m. on the proposed date of such borrowing. Any such notice given telephonically shall include all information to be specified in a written Notice of Swingline Borrowing and shall be promptly confirmed in writing by the Borrower pursuant to a Notice of Swingline Borrowing sent to the Swingline Lender by telecopy on the same day of the giving of such telephonic notice. On the date of the requested Swingline Loan and subject to satisfaction of the applicable conditions set forth in Article VI. for such borrowing, the Swingline Lender will make the proceeds of such Swingline Loan available to the Borrower in Dollars, in immediately available funds, at the account specified by the Borrower in the Notice of Swingline Borrowing not later than 4:00 p.m. on such date.

(c)           Interest. Swingline Loans shall bear interest at a per annum rate equal to the Base Rate plus the Applicable Margin for Base Rate Loans. Interest payable on Swingline Loans is

27




solely for the account of the Swingline Lender. All accrued and unpaid interest on Swingline Loans shall be payable on the dates and in the manner provided in Section 2.4. with respect to interest on Base Rate Loans (except as the Swingline Lender and the Borrower may otherwise agree in writing in connection with any particular Swingline Loan).

(d)           Swingline Loan Amounts, Etc. Each Swingline Loan shall be in the minimum amount of $5,000,000 and integral multiples of $1,000,000 or such other minimum amounts agreed to by the Swingline Lender and the Borrower. Any voluntary prepayment of a Swingline Loan must be in integral multiples of $1,000,000 or the aggregate principal amount of all outstanding Swingline Loans (or such other minimum amounts upon which the Swingline Lender and the Borrower may agree) and in connection with any such prepayment, the Borrower must give the Swingline Lender prior written notice thereof no later than 10:00 a.m. on the date of such prepayment. The Swingline Loans shall, in addition to this Agreement, be evidenced by the Swingline Note.

(e)           Repayment and Participations of Swingline Loans. The Borrower agrees to repay each Swingline Loan within one Business Day of demand therefor by the Swingline Lender and in any event, within 5 Business Days after the date such Swingline Loan was made; provided, that the proceeds of a Swingline Loan may not be used to repay a Swingline Loan. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Borrower shall repay the entire outstanding principal amount of, and all accrued but unpaid interest on, the Swingline Loans on the Termination Date (or such earlier date as the Swingline Lender and the Borrower may agree in writing). In lieu of demanding repayment of any outstanding Swingline Loan from the Borrower, the Swingline Lender may, on behalf of the Borrower (which hereby irrevocably directs the Swingline Lender to act on its behalf for such purpose), request a borrowing of Base Rate Loans from the Lenders in an amount equal to the principal balance of such Swingline Loan. The amount limitations of Section 3.5.(a) shall not apply to any borrowing of Base Rate Loans made pursuant to this subsection. The Swingline Lender shall give notice to the Agent of any such borrowing of Base Rate Loans not later than 12:00 noon on the proposed date of such borrowing and the Agent shall give prompt notice of such borrowing to the Lenders. No later than 2:00 p.m. on such date, each Lender will make available to the Agent at the Principal Office for the account of Swingline Lender, in immediately available funds, the proceeds of the Base Rate Loan to be made by such Lender and, to the extent of such Base Rate Loan, such Lender’s participation in the Swingline Loan so repaid shall be deemed to be funded by such Base Rate Loan. The Agent shall pay the proceeds of such Base Rate Loans to the Swingline Lender, which shall apply such proceeds to repay such Swingline Loan. At the time each Swingline Loan is made, each Lender shall automatically (and without any further notice or action) be deemed to have purchased from the Swingline Lender, without recourse or warranty, an undivided interest and participation to the extent of such Lender’s Commitment Percentage in such Swingline Loan. If the Lenders are prohibited from making Loans required to be made under this subsection for any reason, including without limitation, the occurrence of any Default or Event of Default described in Section 11.1.(h) or 11.1.(i), upon notice from the Agent or the Swingline Lender, each Lender severally agrees to pay to the Agent for the account of the Swingline Lender in respect of such participation the amount of such Lender’s Commitment Percentage of each outstanding Swingline Loan. If such amount is not in fact made available to the Agent by any Lender, the Swingline Lender shall be entitled to recover such amount on demand from such Lender,

28




together with accrued interest thereon for each day from the date of demand thereof, at the Federal Funds Rate. If such Lender does not pay such amount forthwith upon demand therefor by the Agent or the Swingline Lender, and until such time as such Lender makes the required payment, the Swingline Lender shall be deemed to continue to have outstanding Swingline Loans in the amount of such unpaid participation obligation for all purposes of the Loan Documents (other than those provisions requiring the other Lenders to purchase a participation therein). Further, such Lender shall be deemed to have assigned any and all payments made of principal and interest on its Loans, and any other amounts due such Lender hereunder, to the Swingline Lender to fund Swingline Loans in the amount of the participation in Swingline Loans that such Lender failed to purchase pursuant to this Section until such amount has been purchased (as a result of such assignment or otherwise). A Lender’s obligation to make payments in respect of a participation in a Swingline Loan shall be absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance whatsoever, including without limitation, (i) any claim of setoff, counterclaim, recoupment, defense or other right which such Lender or any other Person may have or claim against the Agent, the Swingline Lender or any other Person whatsoever, (ii) the occurrence or continuation of a Default or Event of Default (including without limitation, any of the Defaults or Events of Default described in Section 11.1.(h) or 11.1.(i)) or the termination of any Lender’s Commitment, (iii) the existence (or alleged existence) of an event or condition which has had or could have a Material Adverse Effect, (iv) any breach of any Loan Document by the Agent, any Lender or the Borrower or (v) any other circumstance, happening or event whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing.

Section 2.3. Letters of Credit.

(a)           Letters of Credit. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, the Agent, on behalf of the Lenders, agrees to issue for the account of the Borrower during the period from and including the Effective Date to, but excluding, the date 30 days prior to the Termination Date one or more letters of credit (each a “Letter of Credit”) up to a maximum aggregate Stated Amount at any one time outstanding not to exceed the L/C Commitment Amount.

(b)           Terms of Letters of Credit. At the time of issuance, the amount, form, terms and conditions of each Letter of Credit, and of any drafts or acceptances thereunder, shall be subject to approval by the Agent and the Borrower. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event may the expiration date of any Letter of Credit extend beyond the earlier of (i) the date one year from its date of issuance or (ii) the Termination Date; provided, however, a Letter of Credit may contain a provision providing for the automatic extension of the expiration date in the absence of a notice of non-renewal from the Agent but in no event shall any such provision permit the extension of the expiration date of such Letter of Credit beyond the Termination Date.

(c)           Requests for Issuance of Letters of Credit. The Borrower shall give the Agent written notice (or telephonic notice promptly confirmed in writing) at least 5 Business Days prior to the requested date of issuance of a Letter of Credit, such notice to describe in reasonable detail the proposed terms of such Letter of Credit and the nature of the transactions or obligations proposed to be supported by such Letter of Credit, and in any event shall set forth with respect to such Letter of Credit the proposed (i) Stated Amount, (ii) beneficiary, and (iii) expiration date.

29




The Borrower shall also execute and deliver such customary letter of credit application forms as requested from time to time by the Agent. Provided the Borrower has given the notice prescribed by the first sentence of this subsection and subject to the other terms and conditions of this Agreement, including the satisfaction of any applicable conditions precedent set forth in Article VI. and delivery to the Agent of all items required to be delivered in connection with the issuance of such Letter of Credit, the Agent shall issue the requested Letter of Credit on the requested date of issuance for the benefit of the stipulated beneficiary. The Agent shall not at any time be obligated to issue any Letter of Credit if such issuance would conflict with, or cause the Agent or any Lender to exceed any limits imposed by, any Applicable Law. References herein to “issue” and derivations thereof with respect to Letters of Credit shall also include extensions or modifications of any outstanding Letters of Credit, unless the context otherwise requires. Upon the written request of the Borrower, the Agent shall deliver to the Borrower a copy of each issued Letter of Credit within a reasonable time after the date of issuance thereof. To the extent any term of a Letter of Credit Document is inconsistent with a term of any Loan Document, the term of such Loan Document shall control.

(d)           Reimbursement Obligations. Upon receipt by the Agent from the beneficiary of a Letter of Credit of any demand for payment under such Letter of Credit, the Agent shall promptly notify the Borrower of the amount to be paid by the Agent as a result of such demand and the date on which payment is to be made by the Agent to such beneficiary in respect of such demand; provided, however, the Agent’s failure to give, or delay in giving, such notice shall not discharge the Borrower in any respect from the applicable Reimbursement Obligation. The Borrower hereby unconditionally and irrevocably agrees to pay and reimburse the Agent for the amount of each demand for payment under such Letter of Credit on or prior to the date on which payment is to be made by the Agent to the beneficiary thereunder, without presentment, demand, protest or other formalities of any kind (other than notice as provided in this subsection). Upon receipt by the Agent of any payment in respect of any Reimbursement Obligation, the Agent shall promptly pay to each Lender that has acquired a participation therein under the second sentence of Section 2.3.(i) such Lender’s Commitment Percentage of such payment.

(e)           Manner of Reimbursement. Upon its receipt of a notice referred to in the immediately preceding subsection (d), the Borrower shall advise the Agent whether or not the Borrower intends to borrow hereunder to finance its obligation to reimburse the Agent for the amount of the related demand for payment and, if it does, the Borrower shall submit a timely request for such borrowing as provided in the applicable provisions of this Agreement. If the Borrower fails to so advise the Agent, or if the Borrower fails to reimburse the Agent for a demand for payment under a Letter of Credit by the date of such payment, then (i) if the applicable conditions contained in Article VI. would permit the making of Revolving Loans, the Borrower shall be deemed to have requested a borrowing of Revolving Loans (which shall be Base Rate Loans) in an amount equal to the unpaid Reimbursement Obligation and the Agent shall give each Lender prompt notice of the amount of the Revolving Loan to be made available to the Agent not later than 1:00 p.m. and (ii) if such conditions would not permit the making of Revolving Loans, the provisions of subsection (j) of this Section shall apply. The limitations of Section 3.5.(a) shall not apply to any borrowing of Base Rate Loans under this subsection.

30




(f)            Effect of Letters of Credit on Commitments. Upon the issuance by the Agent of any Letter of Credit and until such Letter of Credit shall have expired or been terminated, the Commitment of each Lender shall be deemed to be utilized for all purposes of this Agreement in an amount equal to the product of (i) such Lender’s Commitment Percentage and (ii) the sum of (A) the Stated Amount of such Letter of Credit plus (B) any related Reimbursement Obligations then outstanding.

(g)           Agent’s Duties Regarding Letters of Credit; Unconditional Nature of Reimbursement Obligations. In examining documents presented in connection with drawings under Letters of Credit and making payments under Letters of Credit against such documents, the Agent shall only be required to use the same standard of care as it uses in connection with examining documents presented in connection with drawings under letters of credit in which it has not sold participations and making payments under such letters of credit. The Borrower assumes all risks of the acts and omissions of, or misuse of the Letters of Credit by, the respective beneficiaries of such Letters of Credit. In furtherance and not in limitation of the foregoing, neither the Agent nor any of the Lenders shall be responsible for, and the Borrower’s obligations in respect of the Letters of Credit shall not be affected in any manner by, (i) the form, validity, sufficiency, accuracy, genuineness or legal effects of any document submitted by any party in connection with the application for and issuance of or any drawing honored under any Letter of Credit even if it should in fact prove to be in any or all respects invalid, insufficient, inaccurate, fraudulent or forged; (ii) the validity or sufficiency of any instrument transferring or assigning or purporting to transfer or assign any Letter of Credit, or the rights or benefits thereunder or proceeds thereof, in whole or in part, which may prove to be invalid or ineffective for any reason; (iii) failure of the beneficiary of any Letter of Credit to comply fully with conditions required in order to draw upon such Letter of Credit; (iv) errors, omissions, interruptions or delays in transmission or delivery of any messages, by mail, cable, telex, telecopy or otherwise, whether or not they be in cipher; (v) errors in interpretation of technical terms; (vi) any loss or delay in the transmission or otherwise of any document required in order to make a drawing under any Letter of Credit, or of the proceeds thereof; (vii) the misapplication by the beneficiary of the proceeds of any drawing under any Letter of Credit; or (viii) any consequences arising from causes beyond the control of the Agent or the Lenders. None of the above shall affect, impair or prevent the vesting of any of the Agent’s or any Lender’s rights or powers hereunder. Any action taken or omitted to be taken by the Agent under or in connection with any Letter of Credit, if taken or omitted in the absence of gross negligence or willful misconduct (as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final, non-appealable judgment), shall not create against the Agent or any Lender any liability to the Borrower or any Lender. In this regard, the obligation of the Borrower to reimburse the Agent for any drawing made under any Letter of Credit, and to repay any Revolving Loan made pursuant to the second sentence of the immediately preceding subsection (e), shall be absolute, unconditional and irrevocable and shall be paid strictly in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and any other applicable Letter of Credit Document under all circumstances whatsoever, including without limitation, the following circumstances: (A) any lack of validity or enforceability of any Letter of Credit Document or any term or provisions therein; (B) any amendment or waiver of or any consent to departure from all or any of the Letter of Credit Documents; (C) the existence of any claim, setoff, defense or other right which the Borrower may have at any time against the Agent, any Lender, any beneficiary of a Letter of Credit or any other Person, whether in

31




connection with this Agreement, the transactions contemplated hereby or in the Letter of Credit Documents or any unrelated transaction; (D) any breach of contract or dispute between the Borrower, the Agent, any Lender or any other Person; (E) any demand, statement or any other document presented under a Letter of Credit proving to be forged, fraudulent, invalid or insufficient in any respect or any statement therein or made in connection therewith being untrue or inaccurate in any respect whatsoever; (F) any non-application or misapplication by the beneficiary of a Letter of Credit of the proceeds of any drawing under such Letter of Credit; (G) payment by the Agent under any Letter of Credit against presentation of a draft or certificate which does not strictly comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit; and (H) any other act, omission to act, delay or circumstance whatsoever that might, but for the provisions of this Section, constitute a legal or equitable defense to or discharge of the Borrower’s Reimbursement Obligations. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section or Section 13.9., but not in limitation of the Borrower’s unconditional obligation to reimburse the Agent for any drawing made under a Letter of Credit as provided in this Section and to repay any Revolving Loan made pursuant to the second sentence of the immediately preceding subsection (e), the Borrower shall have no obligation to indemnify the Agent or any Lender in respect of any liability incurred by the Agent or such Lender arising solely out of the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Agent or such Lender in respect of a Letter of Credit as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final, non-appealable judgment. Except as otherwise provided in this Section, nothing in this Section shall affect any rights the Borrower may have with respect to the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Agent or any Lender with respect to any Letter of Credit.

(h)           Amendments, Etc. The issuance by the Agent of any amendment, supplement or other modification to any Letter of Credit shall be subject to the same conditions applicable under this Agreement to the issuance of new Letters of Credit (including, without limitation, that the request therefor be made through the Agent), and no such amendment, supplement or other modification shall be issued unless either (i) the respective Letter of Credit affected thereby would have complied with such conditions had it originally been issued hereunder in such amended, supplemented or modified form or (ii) the Requisite Lenders (or all of the Lenders if required by Section 13.6.) shall have consented thereto. In connection with any such amendment, supplement or other modification, the Borrower shall pay the Fees, if any, payable under the last sentence of Section 3.6.(b).

(i)            Lenders’ Participation in Letters of Credit. Immediately upon the issuance by the Agent of any Letter of Credit each Lender shall be deemed to have irrevocably and unconditionally purchased and received from the Agent, without recourse or warranty, an undivided interest and participation to the extent of such Lender’s Commitment Percentage of the liability of the Agent with respect to such Letter of Credit, and each Lender thereby shall absolutely, unconditionally and irrevocably assume, as primary obligor and not as surety, and shall be unconditionally obligated to the Agent to pay and discharge when due, such Lender’s Commitment Percentage of the Agent’s liability under such Letter of Credit. In addition, upon the making of each payment by a Lender to the Agent in respect of any Letter of Credit pursuant to the immediately following subsection (j), such Lender shall, automatically and without any further action on the part of the Agent or such Lender, acquire (i) a participation in an amount equal to such payment in the Reimbursement Obligation owing to the Agent by the Borrower in

32




respect of such Letter of Credit and (ii) a participation in a percentage equal to such Lender’s Commitment Percentage in any interest or other amounts payable by the Borrower in respect of such Reimbursement Obligation (other than the Fees payable to the Agent pursuant to the third and last sentences of Section 3.6.(b)).

(j)            Payment Obligation of Lenders. Each Lender severally agrees to pay to the Agent on demand in immediately available funds in Dollars the amount of such Lender’s Commitment Percentage of each drawing paid by the Agent under each Letter of Credit to the extent such amount is not reimbursed by the Borrower pursuant to Section 2.3.(d); provided, however, that in respect of any drawing under any Letter of Credit, the maximum amount that any Lender shall be required to fund, whether as a Revolving Loan or as a participation, shall not exceed such Lender’s Commitment Percentage of such drawing. If the notice referenced in the second sentence of Section 2.3.(e) is received by a Lender not later than 11:00 a.m., then such Lender shall make such payment available to the Agent not later than 2:00 p.m. on the date of demand therefor; otherwise, such payment shall be made available to the Agent not later than 1:00 p.m. on the next succeeding Business Day. Each Lender’s obligation to make such payments to the Agent under this subsection, and the Agent’s right to receive the same, shall be absolute, irrevocable and unconditional and shall not be affected in any way by any circumstance whatsoever, including without limitation, (i) the failure of any other Lender to make its payment under this subsection, (ii) the financial condition of the Borrower or any other Loan Party, (iii) the existence of any Default or Event of Default, including any Event of Default described in Section 11.1.(h) or 11.1.(i) or (iv) the termination of the Commitments. Each such payment to the Agent shall be made without any offset, abatement, withholding or deduction whatsoever.

(k)           Information to Lenders. The Agent shall periodically deliver to the Lenders information setting forth the Stated Amount of all outstanding Letters of Credit. Other than as set forth in this subsection, the Agent shall have no duty to notify the Lenders regarding the issuance or other matters regarding Letters of Credit issued hereunder. The failure of the Agent to perform its requirements under this subsection shall not relieve any Lender from its obligations under Section 2.3.(j).

Section 2.4. Rates and Payment of Interest on Loans.

(a)           Rates. The Borrower promises to pay to the Agent for the account of each Lender interest on the unpaid principal amount of each Loan made by such Lender, and the Borrower and the Florida Borrower jointly and severally promise to pay to the Agent for the account of each Lender interest on the unpaid principal amount of each Loan made by such Lender to or for the benefit of the Florida Borrower, for the period from and including the date of the making of such Loan to but excluding the date such Loan shall be paid in full, at the following per annum rates::

(i)            during such periods as such Loan is a Base Rate Loan, at the Base Rate (as in effect from time to time) plus the Applicable Margin; and

(ii)           during such periods as such Loan is a LIBOR Loan, at Adjusted LIBOR for such Loan for the Interest Period therefor plus the Applicable Margin.

33




Notwithstanding the foregoing, while an Event of Default exists, the Borrower and the Florida Borrower each shall pay to the Agent for the account of each Lender interest at the Post-Default Rate on the outstanding principal amount of any Loan made by such Lender to or for the benefit of the Borrower or the Florida Borrower, as the case may be, on all Reimbursement Obligations (in the case of the Borrower) and on any other amount payable by the Borrower or the Florida Borrower, as applicable, hereunder or under the Notes held by such Lender to or for the account of such Lender (including without limitation, accrued but unpaid interest to the extent permitted under Applicable Law).

(b)           Payment of Interest. Accrued and unpaid interest on each Loan shall be payable (i) in the case of a Base Rate Loan, monthly in arrears on the first day of each calendar month, (ii) in the case of a LIBOR Loan, in arrears on the last day of each Interest Period therefor, and, if such Interest Period is longer than three months, at three-month intervals following the first day of such Interest Period, and (iii) in the case of any Loan, in arrears upon the payment, prepayment or Continuation thereof or the Conversion of such Loan to a Loan of another Type (but only on the principal amount so paid, prepaid, Continued or Converted). Interest payable at the Post-Default Rate shall be payable from time to time on demand. Promptly after the determination of any interest rate provided for herein or any change therein, the Agent shall give notice thereof to the Lenders to which such interest is payable and to the Borrower. All determinations by the Agent of an interest rate hereunder shall be conclusive and binding on the Lenders and the Borrowers for all purposes, absent manifest error.

34




Borrowing Base at such time, the Borrower shall immediately pay to the Agent for the account of the Lenders the amount of such excess.

(ii)           By Florida Borrower. If at any time the aggregate principal amount of all outstanding Revolving Loans owing by the Florida Borrower exceeds (x) the lesser of (A) the aggregate amount of the Commitments at such time or (B) the Borrowing Base as such time minus (y) the aggregate principal amount of all outstanding Loans owing by the Borrower, together with the aggregate amount of all Letter of Credit Liabilities, the Borrower and the Florida Borrower jointly and severally agree to pay immediately to the Agent for the account of the Lenders the amount of such excess.

(c)           Application of Prepayments. All payments under the immediately preceding subsection (b)(i) shall be applied to pay all amounts of principal outstanding on the Loans and any Reimbursement Obligations pro rata in accordance with Section 3.2. and if any Letters of Credit are outstanding at such time the remainder, if any, shall be deposited into the Collateral Account for application to any Reimbursement Obligations. All payments under the immediately preceding subsection (b)(ii) shall be applied to pay all amounts of principal outstanding on the Revolving Loans owing by the Florida Borrower pro rata in accordance with Section 3.2.

So long as no Default or Event of Default shall exist, the Borrower may on any Business Day, with respect to any LIBOR Loan, elect to maintain such LIBOR Loan or any portion thereof as a LIBOR Loan by selecting a new Interest Period for such LIBOR Loan. Each new Interest Period selected under this Section shall commence on the last day of the immediately preceding Interest Period. Each selection of a new Interest Period shall be made by the Borrower giving to the Agent a Notice of Continuation not later than 11:00 a.m. on the third Business Day prior to the date of any such Continuation. Such notice by the Borrower of a Continuation shall be by telephone or telecopy, confirmed promptly in writing if by telephone, in the form of a Notice of Continuation, specifying (a) the proposed date of such Continuation, (b) the LIBOR Loans and portions thereof subject to such Continuation and (c) the duration of the selected Interest Period, all of which shall be specified in such manner as is necessary to comply with all limitations on Loans outstanding hereunder.

35




Convert into a Base Rate Loan notwithstanding the first sentence of Section 2.9. or the Borrower’s failure to comply with any of the terms of such Section.

Section 2.9. Conversion.

The Borrower may on any Business Day, upon the Borrower’s giving of a Notice of Conversion to the Agent, Convert all or a portion of a Loan of one Type into a Loan of another Type; provided, however, a Base Rate Loan may not be Converted to a LIBOR Loan if a Default or Event of Default shall exist. Any Conversion of a LIBOR Loan into a Base Rate Loan shall be made on, and only on, the last day of an Interest Period for such LIBOR Loan and, upon Conversion of a Base Rate Loan into a LIBOR Loan, the Borrower shall pay accrued interest to the date of Conversion on the principal amount so Converted. Each such Notice of Conversion shall be given not later than 11:00 a.m. on the Business Day prior to the date of any proposed Conversion into Base Rate Loans and on the third Business Day prior to the date of any proposed Conversion into LIBOR Loans. Promptly after receipt of a Notice of Conversion, the Agent shall notify each Lender by telecopy, or other similar form of transmission, of the proposed Conversion. Subject to the restrictions specified above, each Notice of Conversion shall be by telephone (confirmed promptly in writing) or telecopy in the form of a Notice of Conversion specifying (a) the requested date of such Conversion, (b) the Type of Loan to be Converted, (c) the portion of such Type of Loan to be Converted, (d) the Type of Loan such Loan is to be Converted into and (e) if such Conversion is into a LIBOR Loan, the requested duration of the Interest Period of such Loan. Each Notice of Conversion shall be irrevocable by and binding on the Borrowers once given.

Section 2.10. Notes.

(a)           Revolving Note. The Revolving Loans made by each Lender to or for the benefit of the Borrower shall, in addition to this Agreement, also be evidenced by a promissory note of the Borrower substantially in the form of Exhibit G-1, payable to the order of such Lender in a principal amount equal to the amount of its Commitment as originally in effect and otherwise duly completed. The Revolving Loans made by each Lender to or for the benefit of the Florida Borrower shall, in addition to this Agreement, also be evidenced by a promissory note of the Florida Borrower substantially in the form of Exhibit G-2, payable to the order of such Lender in a principal amount equal to the amount of such Lender’s Commitment Percentage of the Florida Sublimit, as originally in effect and otherwise duly completed. Each promissory note described in this subsection is referred to as “Revolving Note.”

(b)           Records. The date, amount, interest rate, Type and duration of Interest Periods (if applicable) of each Loan made by each Lender to the Borrower or the Florida Borrower, and each payment made on account of the principal thereof, shall be recorded by such Lender on its books and such entries shall be binding on the Borrowers, absent manifest error; provided, however, that the failure of a Lender to make any such record shall not affect the obligations of the Borrowers under any of the Loan Documents.

(c)           Lost, Stolen, Destroyed or Mutilated Notes. Upon receipt by the Borrower of (i) written notice from a Lender that a Note of such Lender has been lost, stolen, destroyed or mutilated, and (ii) (A) in the case of loss, theft or destruction, an unsecured agreement of

36




indemnity from such Lender in form reasonably satisfactory to the Borrower, or (B) in the case of mutilation, upon surrender and cancellation of such Note, the Borrower shall at its own expense cause to be executed and delivered to such Lender a new Note dated the date of such lost, stolen, destroyed or mutilated Note.

Section 2.11. Voluntary Reductions of the Commitment.

The Borrower shall have the right to terminate or reduce the aggregate unused amount of the Commitments (for which purpose use of the Commitments shall be deemed to include the aggregate amount of Letter of Credit Liabilities and the aggregate principal amount of all outstanding Swingline Loans) at any time and from time to time without penalty or premium upon not less than 5 Business Days’ prior written notice to the Agent of each such termination or reduction, which notice shall specify the effective date thereof and the amount of any such reduction and shall be irrevocable once given and effective only upon receipt by the Agent; provided, however, if the Borrower seeks to reduce the aggregate amount of the Commitments below $100,000,000, then the Commitments shall all automatically and permanently be reduced to zero. The Agent will promptly transmit such notice to each Lender. The Commitments, once terminated or reduced, may not be increased or reinstated.

Section 2.12. Expiration or Maturity Date of Letters of Credit Past Termination Date.

If on the date the Commitments are terminated or reduced to zero (whether voluntarily, by reason of the occurrence of an Event of Default or otherwise), there are any Letters of Credit outstanding hereunder, the Borrower shall, on such date, pay to the Agent an amount of money sufficient to cause the balance of available funds on deposit in the Collateral Account to equal the Stated Amount of such Letter(s) of Credit for deposit into the Collateral Account.

Section 2.13. Amount Limitations.

Notwithstanding any other term of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, no Lender shall be required to make a Loan, the Agent shall not be required to issue a Letter of Credit and no reduction of the Commitments pursuant to Section 2.11. shall take effect, if immediately after the making of such Loan, the issuance of such Letter of Credit or such reduction in the Commitments, any of the following conditions would exist:

(a)           the aggregate principal amount of all outstanding Loans, together with the aggregate amount of all Letter of Credit Liabilities, would exceed the lesser of (i) the aggregate amount of the Commitments at such time or (ii) the Borrowing Base as such time; or

(b)           the aggregate principal amount of all outstanding Revolving Loans owing by the Florida Borrower would exceed (i) the lesser of (x) the aggregate amount of the Commitments at such time or (y) the Borrowing Base as such time minus (ii) the aggregate principal amount of all outstanding Loans owing by the Borrower, together with the aggregate amount of all Letter of Credit Liabilities.

37




Section 2.14. Increase of Commitments.

With the prior consent of the Agent, the Borrower shall have the right at any time during the term of this Agreement to request increases in the aggregate amount of the Commitments (provided that after giving effect to any increases in the Commitments pursuant to this Section, the aggregate amount of the Commitments may not exceed $350,000,000) by providing written notice to the Agent, which notice shall be irrevocable once given. Each such increase in the Commitments must be in an aggregate minimum amount of $25,000,000 and integral multiples of $5,000,000 in excess thereof. No Lender shall be required to increase its Commitment and any new Lender becoming a party to this Agreement in connection with any such requested increase must be an Eligible Assignee. If a new Lender becomes a party to this Agreement, or if any existing Lender agrees to increase its Commitment, such Lender shall on the date it becomes a Lender hereunder (or increases its Commitment, in the case of an existing Lender) (and as a condition thereto) purchase from the other Lenders its Commitment Percentage (or in the case of an existing Lender, the increase in the amount of its Commitment Percentage, in each case as determined after giving effect to the increase of Commitments) of any outstanding Revolving Loans, by making available to the Agent for the account of such other Lenders at the Principal Office, in same day funds, an amount equal to the sum of (A) the portion of the outstanding principal amount of such Revolving Loans to be purchased by such Lender plus (B) the aggregate amount of payments previously made by the other Lenders under Section 2.3.(j) which have not been repaid plus (C) interest accrued and unpaid to and as of such date on such portion of the outstanding principal amount of such Revolving Loans. The Borrower shall pay to the Lenders amounts payable, if any, to such Lenders under Section 5.4. as a result of the prepayment of any such Revolving Loans. No increase of the Commitments may be effected under this Section if (x) a Default or Event of Default shall be in existence on the effective date of such increase or (y) any representation or warranty made or deemed made by the Borrower or any other Loan Party in any Loan Document to which any such Loan Party is a party is not (or would not be) true or correct on the effective date of such increase (except for representations or warranties which expressly relate solely to an earlier date). In connection with any increase in the aggregate amount of the Commitments pursuant to this Section, any Lender becoming a party hereto (or increasing its Commitment) and the Borrower shall execute such documents and agreements (in the case of the Borrower, including resolutions) as the Agent may reasonably request.

ARTICLE III. PAYMENTS, FEES AND OTHER GENERAL PROVISIONS

Section 3.1. Payments.

Except to the extent otherwise provided herein, all payments of principal, interest and other amounts to be made by the Borrowers under this Agreement or any other Loan Document shall be made in Dollars, in immediately available funds, without deduction, set-off or counterclaim, to the Agent at its Principal Office, not later than 2:00 p.m. 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). Subject to Section 11.4., the Borrower may, at the time of making each payment under this Agreement

38




or any Note, specify to the Agent the amounts payable by the Borrowers hereunder to which such payment is to be applied. Each payment received by the Agent for the account of a Lender under this Agreement or any Note shall be paid to such Lender at the applicable Lending Office of such Lender no later than 5:00 p.m. on the date of receipt. If the Agent fails to pay such amount to a Lender as provided in the previous sentence, the Agent shall pay interest on such amount until paid at a rate per annum equal to the Federal Funds Rate from time to time in effect. If the due date of any payment under this Agreement or any other Loan Document would otherwise fall on a day which is not a Business Day such date shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day and interest shall be payable for the period of such extension.

Section 3.2. Pro Rata Treatment.

Except to the extent otherwise provided herein: (a) each borrowing from the Lenders under Section 2.1.(a), 2.2.(e) and 2.3.(e) shall be made from the Lenders, each payment of the Fees under Section 3.6.(a) and the first sentence of Section 3.6.(b) shall be made for the account of the Lenders, and each termination or reduction of the amount of the Commitments under Section 2.11. shall be applied to the respective Commitments of the Lenders, pro rata according to the amounts of their respective Commitments; (b) each payment or prepayment of principal of Revolving Loans by the Borrower or the Florida Borrower shall be made for the account of the Lenders pro rata in accordance with the respective unpaid principal amounts of the Revolving Loans held by them and owing by the Borrower or the Florida Borrower, as applicable, provided that if immediately prior to giving effect to any such payment in respect of any Revolving Loans the outstanding principal amount of the Revolving Loans shall not be held by the Lenders pro rata in accordance with their respective Commitments in effect at the time such Loans were made, then such payment shall be applied to the Revolving Loans in such manner as shall result, as nearly as is practicable, in the outstanding principal amount of the Revolving Loans being held by the Lenders pro rata in accordance with their respective Commitments; (c) each payment of interest on Revolving Loans by the Borrower or the Florida Borrower shall be made for the account of the Lenders pro rata in accordance with the amounts of interest on such Loans then due and payable to the respective Lenders; (d) the making, Conversion and Continuation of Revolving Loans of a particular Type (other than Conversions provided for by Section 5.5.) shall be made pro rata among the Lenders according to the amounts of their respective Commitments (in the case of making of Revolving Loans) or their respective Revolving Loans (in the case of Conversions and Continuations of Revolving Loans) and the then current Interest Period for each Lender’s portion of each Revolving Loan of such Type shall be coterminous; (e) the Lenders’ participation in, and payment obligations in respect of, Letters of Credit under Section 2.3., shall be pro rata in accordance with their respective Commitments; and (f) the Lenders’ participation in, and payment obligations in respect of, Swingline Loans under Section 2.2., shall be pro rata in accordance with their respective Commitments. All payments of principal, interest, fees and other amounts in respect of the Swingline Loans shall be for the account of the Swingline Lender only (except to the extent any Lender shall have acquired and funded a participating interest in any such Swingline Loan pursuant to Section 2.2.(e), in which case such payments shall be pro rata in accordance with such participating interests).

Section 3.3. Sharing of Payments, Etc.

If a Lender shall obtain payment of any principal of, or interest on, any Loan, or shall obtain payment on any other Obligation owing by the Borrower or any other Loan Party through the exercise of any right of set-off, banker’s lien or counterclaim or similar right or otherwise or

39




through voluntary prepayments directly to a Lender or other payments made by a Loan Party to a Lender not in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and such payment should be distributed to the Lenders pro rata in accordance with Section 3.2. or Section 11.4., as applicable, such Lender shall promptly purchase from the other Lenders participations in (or, if and to the extent specified by such Lender, direct interests in) the Loans made by the other Lenders or other Obligations owed to such other Lenders 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 payment (net of any reasonable expenses which may be incurred by such Lender in obtaining or preserving such benefit) pro rata in accordance with Section 3.2. or Section 11.4., as applicable. 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. The Borrower and the Florida Borrower each agrees that any Lender so purchasing a participation (or direct interest) in the Loans or other Obligations owed by the Borrower or the Florida Borrower, as applicable, to such other Lenders may exercise 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 in the amount of such participation. 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 the Borrower.

Section 3.4. Several Obligations.

No Lender shall be responsible for the failure of any other Lender to make a Loan or to perform any other obligation to be made or performed by such other Lender hereunder, and the failure of any Lender to make a Loan or to perform any other obligation to be made or performed by it hereunder shall not relieve the obligation of any other Lender to make any Loan or to perform any other obligation to be made or performed by such other Lender.

Section 3.5. Minimum Amounts.

(a)           Borrowings and Conversions. Except as otherwise provided in Sections 2.2.(e) and 2.3.(e), each borrowing of Base Rate Loans shall be in an aggregate minimum amount of $5,000,000 and integral multiples of $1,000,000 in excess thereof. Each borrowing, Conversion and Continuation of LIBOR Loans shall be in an aggregate minimum amount of $5,000,000 and integral multiples of $1,000,000 in excess of that amount.

(b)           Prepayments. Each voluntary prepayment of Revolving Loans shall be in an aggregate minimum amount of $1,000,000 and integral multiples of $500,000 in excess thereof (or, if less, the aggregate principal amount of Revolving Loans then outstanding).

(c)           Reductions of Commitments. Each reduction of the Commitments under Section 2.11. shall be in an aggregate minimum amount of $10,000,000 and integral multiples of $5,000,000 in excess thereof.

40




Section 3.6. Fees.

(a)           Unused Fee. During the period from the Effective Date to but excluding the Termination Date, the Borrower agrees to pay to the Agent for the account of the Lenders an unused facility fee with respect to the average daily difference between the (i) aggregate amount of the Commitments and (ii) the aggregate principal amount of all outstanding Revolving Loans plus the aggregate amount of all Letter of Credit Liabilities (the “Unused Amount”). Such fee shall be computed by multiplying the Unused Amount with respect to the applicable quarter by one-quarter of one-percent (0.25%). Such fee shall be payable in arrears on the last day of each March, June, September or December of each calendar year. Any such accrued and unpaid fee shall also be payable on the Termination Date or any earlier date of termination of the Commitments or reduction of the Commitments to zero.

(b)           Letter of Credit Fees. The Borrower agrees to pay to the Agent for the account of each Lender a letter of credit fee at a rate per annum equal to the Applicable Margin for LIBOR Loans (or while an Event of Default exists, at a per annum rate equal to 4.0%) times the daily average Stated Amount of each Letter of Credit for the period from and including the date of issuance of such Letter of Credit (x) through and including the date such Letter of Credit expires or is terminated or (y) to but excluding the date such Letter of Credit is drawn in full and is not subject to reinstatement, as the case may be. The fees provided for in the immediately preceding sentence shall be nonrefundable and payable in arrears on (i) the last day of March, June, September and December in each year, (ii) the Termination Date, (iii) the date the Commitments are terminated or reduced to zero and (iv) thereafter from time to time on demand of the Agent. In addition, the Borrower shall pay to the Agent for its own account and not the account of any Lender, an issuance fee in respect of each Letter of Credit equal to the greater of (i) $1,000 or (ii) one-eighth of one percent (0.125%) per annum on the initial Stated Amount of such Letter of Credit payable (A) for the period from and including the date of issuance of such Letter of Credit through and including the expiration date of such Letter of Credit and (B) if the expiration date of any Letter of Credit is extended (whether as a result of the operation of an automatic extension clause or otherwise), for the period from but excluding the previous expiration date to and including the extended expiration date. The fees provided for in the immediately preceding sentence shall be nonrefundable and payable upon issuance (or in the case of an extension of the expiration date, on the previous expiration date). The Borrower shall pay directly to the Agent from time to time on demand all commissions, charges, costs and expenses in the amounts customarily charged by the Agent from time to time in like circumstances with respect to the issuance of each Letter of Credit, drawings, amendments and other transactions relating thereto.

(c)           Collateral Property Review Fee. With respect to each Property that becomes a Collateral Property (other than the Properties that become Collateral Properties as contemplated by Section 4.1.(a)), the Borrower agrees to pay a fee equal to $1,000 for each Lender affirmatively approving (as opposed to having been deemed to have approved) such Property. Such fee shall be payable upon such Property becoming a Collateral Property as provided in Section 4.2.

(d)           Administrative and Other Fees. The Borrower agrees to pay the administrative and other fees of the Agent as may be agreed to in writing by the Borrower and the Agent from time to time.

41




Section 3.7. Computations.

Unless otherwise expressly set forth herein, any accrued interest on any Loan, any Fees or any other Obligations due hereunder shall be computed on the basis of a year of 365 or 366 days, as applicable, and the actual number of days elapsed; provided, however, interest on LIBOR Loans shall be computed on the basis of a year of 360 days and the actual number of days elapsed.

Section 3.8. Usury.

In no event shall the amount of interest due or payable on the Loans or other Obligations exceed the maximum rate of interest allowed by Applicable Law and, if any such payment is paid by any Loan Party or received by any Lender, then such excess sum shall be credited as a payment of principal, unless the Borrower shall notify the respective Lender in writing that the Borrower elects to have such excess sum returned to it forthwith. It is the express intent of the parties hereto that the Borrowers not pay and the Lenders not receive, directly or indirectly, in any manner whatsoever, interest in excess of that which may be lawfully paid by the Borrowers under Applicable Law.

Section 3.9. Agreement Regarding Interest and Charges.

The parties hereto hereby agree and stipulate that the only charge imposed upon the Borrowers for the use of money in connection with this Agreement is and shall be the interest specifically described in Sections 2.4.(a)(i) and (ii) and in the case of the Borrower, in Section 2.2.(c). Notwithstanding the foregoing, the parties hereto further agree and stipulate that all agency fees, syndication fees, facility fees, closing fees, letter of credit fees, underwriting fees, default charges, late charges, funding or “breakage” charges, increased cost charges, attorneys’ fees and reimbursement for costs and expenses paid by the Agent or any Lender to third parties or for damages incurred by the Agent or any Lender, in each case in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, are charges made to compensate the Agent or any such Lender for underwriting or administrative services and costs or losses performed or incurred, and to be performed or incurred, by the Agent and the Lenders in connection with this Agreement and shall under no circumstances be deemed to be charges for the use of money. All charges other than charges for the use of money shall be fully earned and nonrefundable when due.

Section 3.10. Statements of Account.

The Agent will account to the Borrowers monthly with a statement of Loans, Letters of Credit, accrued interest and Fees, charges and payments made pursuant to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and such account rendered by the Agent shall be deemed conclusive and binding on the Lenders and the Borrowers absent manifest error. The failure of the Agent to deliver such a statement of accounts shall not relieve or discharge the Borrowers from any of their respective obligations hereunder.

42




Section 3.11. Defaulting Lenders.

(a)           Generally. If for any reason any Lender (a “Defaulting Lender”) shall fail or refuse to perform any of its obligations under this Agreement or any other Loan Document to which it is a party within the time period specified for performance of such obligation or, if no time period is specified, if such failure or refusal continues for a period of two Business Days after notice from the Agent, then, in addition to the rights and remedies that may be available to the Agent or the Borrowers under this Agreement or Applicable Law, such Defaulting Lender’s right to participate in the administration of the Loans, this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, including without limitation, any right to vote in respect of, to consent to or to direct any action or inaction of the Agent or to be taken into account in the calculation of the Requisite Lenders, shall be suspended during the pendency of such failure or refusal. If a Lender is a Defaulting Lender because it has failed to make timely payment to the Agent of any amount required to be paid to the Agent hereunder (without giving effect to any notice or cure periods), in addition to other rights and remedies which the Agent or the Borrowers may have under the immediately preceding provisions or otherwise, the Agent shall be entitled (i) to collect interest from such Defaulting Lender on such delinquent payment for the period from the date on which the payment was due until the date on which the payment is made at the Federal Funds Rate, (ii) to withhold or setoff and to apply in satisfaction of the defaulted payment and any related interest, any amounts otherwise payable to such Defaulting Lender under this Agreement or any other Loan Document and (iii) to bring an action or suit against such Defaulting Lender in a court of competent jurisdiction to recover the defaulted amount and any related interest. Any amounts received by the Agent in respect of a Defaulting Lender’s Loans shall not be paid to such Defaulting Lender and shall be held uninvested by the Agent and either applied against the purchase price of such Loans under the following subsection (b) or paid to such Defaulting Lender upon such Defaulting Lender’s curing of its default.

(b)           Purchase or Cancellation of Defaulting Lender’s Commitment. Any Lender who is not a Defaulting Lender may, but shall not be obligated, in its sole discretion, to acquire all or a portion of a Defaulting Lender’s Commitment. Any Lender desiring to exercise such right shall give written notice thereof to the Agent and the Borrower no sooner than 2 Business Days and not later than 5 Business Days after such Defaulting Lender became a Defaulting Lender. If more than one Lender exercises such right, each such Lender shall have the right to acquire an amount of such Defaulting Lender’s Commitment in proportion to the Commitments of the other Lenders exercising such right. If after such 5th Business Day, the Lenders have not elected to purchase all of the Commitment of such Defaulting Lender, then the Borrower may, by giving written notice thereof to the Agent, such Defaulting Lender and the other Lenders, either (i) demand that such Defaulting Lender assign its Commitment to an Eligible Assignee subject to and in accordance with the provisions of Section 13.5.(b) for the purchase price provided for below or (ii) terminate the Commitment of such Defaulting Lender, whereupon such Defaulting Lender shall no longer be a party hereto or have any rights or obligations hereunder or under any of the other Loan Documents. The Agent and the Lenders shall not have any obligation whatsoever to initiate any such replacement or to assist in finding an Eligible Assignee. Upon any such purchase or assignment, the Defaulting Lender’s interest in the Loans and its rights hereunder (but not its liability in respect thereof or under the Loan Documents or this Agreement to the extent the same relate to the period prior to the effective date of the purchase except to the extent assigned pursuant to such purchase) shall terminate on the date of purchase, and the

43




Defaulting Lender shall promptly execute all documents reasonably requested to surrender and transfer such interest to the purchaser or assignee thereof, including an appropriate Assignment and Assumption and, notwithstanding Section 13.5.(b), shall pay to the Agent an assignment fee in the amount of $7,000. The purchase price for the Commitment of a Defaulting Lender shall be equal to the amount of the principal balance of the Loans outstanding and owed by the Borrowers to the Defaulting Lender. Prior to payment of such purchase price to a Defaulting Lender, the Agent shall apply against such purchase price any amounts retained by the Agent pursuant to the last sentence of the immediately preceding subsection (a). The Defaulting Lender shall be entitled to receive amounts owed to it by the Borrowers under the Loan Documents which accrued prior to the date of the default by the Defaulting Lender, to the extent the same are received by the Agent from or on behalf of the Borrowers. There shall be no recourse against any Lender or the Agent for the payment of such sums except to the extent of the receipt of payments from any other party or in respect of the Loans.

Section 3.12. Taxes.

(a)           Taxes Generally. All payments by the Borrowers of principal of, and interest on, the Loans and all other Obligations shall be made free and clear of and without deduction for any present or future excise, stamp or other taxes, fees, duties, levies, imposts, charges, deductions, withholdings or other charges of any nature whatsoever imposed by any taxing authority, but excluding (i) franchise taxes, (ii) any taxes imposed on or measured by any Lender’s assets, net income, receipts or branch profits, (iii) any taxes (other than withholding taxes) with respect to the Agent or a Lender that would not be imposed but for a connection between the Agent or such Lender and the jurisdiction imposing such taxes (other than a connection arising solely by virtue of the activities of the Agent or such Lender pursuant to or in respect of this Agreement or any other Loan Document), and (iv) any taxes, fees, duties, levies, imposts, charges, deductions, withholdings or other charges to the extent imposed as a result of the failure of the Agent or a Lender, as applicable, to provide and keep current (to the extent legally able) any certificates, documents or other evidence required to qualify for an exemption from, or reduced rate of, any such taxes fees, duties, levies, imposts, charges, deductions, withholdings or other charges or required by the immediately following subsection (c) to be furnished by the Agent or such Lender, as applicable (such non-excluded items being collectively called “Taxes”). If any withholding or deduction from any payment to be made by the Borrower or the Florida Borrower hereunder is required in respect of any Taxes pursuant to any Applicable Law, then the Borrower will:

(i)            pay directly to the relevant Governmental Authority the full amount required to be so withheld or deducted;

(ii)           promptly forward to the Agent an official receipt or other documentation satisfactory to the Agent evidencing such payment to such Governmental Authority; and

(iii)          pay to the Agent for its account or the account of the applicable Lender, as the case may be, such additional amount or amounts as is necessary to ensure that the net amount actually received by the Agent or such Lender will equal the full amount that the Agent or such Lender would have received had no such withholding or deduction been required.

44




(b)           Tax Indemnification. If the Borrower or the Florida Borrower fails to pay any Taxes when due to the appropriate Governmental Authority or fails to remit to the Agent, for its account or the account of the respective Lender, as the case may be, the required receipts or other required documentary evidence, the Borrower shall indemnify the Agent and the Lenders for any incremental Taxes, interest or penalties that may become payable by the Agent or any Lender as a result of any such failure. For purposes of this Section, a distribution hereunder by the Agent or any Lender to or for the account of any Lender shall be deemed a payment by the Borrower.

(c)           Tax Forms. Prior to the date that any Foreign Lender becomes a party hereto, such Foreign Lender shall deliver to the Borrower and the Agent such certificates, documents or other evidence, as required by the Internal Revenue Code or Treasury Regulations issued pursuant thereto (including Internal Revenue Service Forms W-8ECI and W-8BEN, as applicable, or appropriate successor forms), properly completed, currently effective and duly executed by such Foreign Lender establishing that payments to it hereunder and under the Notes are (i) not subject to United States Federal backup withholding tax and (ii) not subject to United States Federal withholding tax imposed under the Internal Revenue Code. Each such Foreign Lender shall, to the extent it may lawfully do so, (x) deliver further copies of such forms or other appropriate certifications on or before the date that any such forms expire or become obsolete and after the occurrence of any event requiring a change in the most recent form delivered to the Borrower or the Agent and (y) obtain such extensions of the time for filing, and renew such forms and certifications thereof, as may be reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Agent. The Borrower shall not be required to pay any amount pursuant to the last sentence of subsection (a) above to any Foreign Lender or the Agent, if it is organized under the laws of a jurisdiction outside of the United States of America, if such Foreign Lender or the Agent, as applicable, fails to comply with the requirements of this subsection. If any such Foreign Lender, to the extent it may lawfully do so, fails to deliver the above forms or other documentation, then the Agent may withhold from any payments to be made to such Foreign Lender under any of the Loan Documents such amounts as are required by the Internal Revenue Code. If any Governmental Authority asserts that the Agent did not properly withhold or backup withhold, as the case may be, any tax or other amount from payments made to or for the account of any Lender, such Lender shall indemnify the Agent therefor, including all penalties and interest, any taxes imposed by any jurisdiction on the amounts payable to the Agent under this Section, and costs and expenses (including all reasonable fees and disbursements of any law firm or other external counsel and the allocated cost of internal legal services and all disbursements of internal counsel) of the Agent. The obligation of the Lenders under this Section shall survive the termination of the Commitments, repayment of all Obligations and the resignation or replacement of the Agent.

ARTICLE IV. COLLATERAL PROPERTIES

Section 4.1. Eligibility of Properties.

(a)           As of the Agreement Date, the Lenders have approved for inclusion in calculations of the Borrowing Base the Properties identified on Schedule 4.1. having the Appraised Values and Implied Debt Service Coverage Values as set forth on such Schedule.

45




Upon satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section 4.2., such Properties shall become Collateral Properties.

(b)           If, after the Agreement Date, the Borrower desires that any additional Property be included in calculations of the Borrowing Base, the Borrower shall so notify the Agent in writing. No Property will be evaluated for inclusion of calculations of the Borrowing Base unless it is an Eligible Property, and unless and until the Borrower delivers to the Agent each of the following, in form and substance satisfactory to the Agent:

(i)            a description of such Property, such description to include the age, location and size of such Property;

(ii)           an operating statement with respect to such Property for each of the three prior fiscal years and for the current fiscal year through the fiscal quarter most recently ending and for the current fiscal quarter, certified by a representative of the Borrower to the best of such representative’s knowledge as being true and correct in all material respects; provided, that with respect to any period such Property was not owned by a Loan Party, such information shall only be required to be delivered to the extent reasonably available to the Borrower;

(iii)          a pro forma operating statement or an operating budget for such Property with respect to the current and immediately following fiscal years;

(iv)          a budget for capital expenditures for the immediately following 12-month period showing funding sources acceptable to the Agent;

ARTICLE V. YIELD PROTECTION, ETC.

Section 5.1. Additional Costs; Capital Adequacy.

(a)           Additional Costs. The Borrower shall promptly pay to the Agent for the account of each affected Lender from time to time such amounts as such Lender may determine to be necessary to compensate such Lender for any costs incurred by such Lender that it determines are attributable to its making or maintaining of any LIBOR Loans or its obligation to make any LIBOR Loans hereunder, any reduction in any amount receivable by such Lender under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents in respect of any of such Loans or such obligation or the maintenance by such Lender of capital in respect of its Loans or its Commitment (such increases in costs and reductions in amounts receivable being herein called “Additional Costs”), to the extent resulting from any Regulatory Change that:  (i) changes the basis of taxation of any amounts payable to such Lender under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents in respect of any of such Loans or its Commitment (other than taxes, fees, duties, levies, imposts, charges, deductions, withholdings or other charges which are excluded from the definition of Taxes pursuant to the first sentence of Section 3.12.(a)); or (ii) imposes or modifies any reserve, special deposit or similar requirements (other than Regulation D of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System or other reserve requirement to the extent utilized in the determination of Adjusted LIBOR for such Loan) relating to any extensions of credit or other assets of, or any deposits with or other liabilities of, such Lender, or any commitment of such Lender (including, without limitation, the Commitment of such Lender hereunder); or (iii) has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on capital of such Lender to a level below that which such Lender could have achieved but for such Regulatory Change (taking into consideration such Lender’s policies with respect to capital adequacy).

(b)           Lender’s Suspension of LIBOR Loans. Without limiting the effect of the provisions of the immediately preceding subsection (a), if, by reason of any Regulatory Change,

54




any Lender either (i) incurs Additional Costs based on or measured by the excess above a specified level of the amount of a category of deposits or other liabilities of such Lender that includes deposits by reference to which the interest rate on LIBOR Loans is determined as provided in this Agreement or a category of extensions of credit or other assets of such Lender that includes LIBOR Loans or (ii) becomes subject to restrictions on the amount of such a category of liabilities or assets that it may hold, then, if such Lender so elects by notice to the Borrower (with a copy to the Agent), the obligation of such Lender to make or Continue, or to Convert any other Type of Loans into, LIBOR Loans hereunder shall be suspended until such Regulatory Change ceases to be in effect (in which case the provisions of Section 5.5. shall apply).

(c)           Additional Costs in Respect of Letters of Credit. Without limiting the obligations of the Borrower under the preceding subsections of this Section (but without duplication), if as a result of any Regulatory Change or any risk-based capital guideline or other requirement heretofore or hereafter issued by any Governmental Authority there shall be imposed, modified or deemed applicable any tax, reserve, special deposit, capital adequacy or similar requirement against or with respect to or measured by reference to Letters of Credit and the result shall be to increase the cost to the Agent of issuing (or any Lender of purchasing participations in) or maintaining its obligation hereunder to issue (or purchase participations in) any Letter of Credit or reduce any amount receivable by the Agent or any Lender hereunder in respect of any Letter of Credit, then, upon demand by the Agent or such Lender, the Borrower shall pay promptly, and in any event within 3 Business Days of demand, to the Agent for its account or the account of such Lender, as applicable, from time to time as specified by the Agent or a Lender, such additional amounts as shall be sufficient to compensate the Agent or such Lender for such increased costs or reductions in amount.

(d)           Notification and Determination of Additional Costs. Each of the Agent and each Lender agrees to notify the Borrower of any event occurring after the Agreement Date entitling the Agent or such Lender to compensation under any of the preceding subsections of this Section as promptly as practicable; provided, however, the failure of the Agent or any Lender to give such notice shall not release the Borrower from any of its obligations hereunder (and in the case of a Lender, to the Agent). The Agent or such Lender agrees to furnish to the Borrower (and in the case of a Lender, to the Agent) a certificate setting forth in reasonable detail the basis and amount of each request by the Agent or such Lender for compensation under this Section. Absent manifest error, determinations by the Agent or any Lender of the effect of any Regulatory Change shall be conclusive, provided that such determinations are made on a reasonable basis and in good faith.

Section 5.2. Suspension of LIBOR Loans.

Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, if, on or prior to the determination of Adjusted LIBOR for any Interest Period:

(a)           the Agent reasonably determines (which determination shall be conclusive) that by reason of circumstances affecting the relevant market, adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining Adjusted LIBOR for such Interest Period, or

55




(b)           the Agent reasonably determines (which determination shall be conclusive) that Adjusted LIBOR will not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to the Lenders of making or maintaining LIBOR Loans for such Interest Period;

then the Agent shall give the Borrower and each Lender prompt notice thereof and, so long as such condition remains in effect, the Lenders shall be under no obligation to, and shall not, make additional LIBOR Loans, Continue LIBOR Loans or Convert Loans into LIBOR Loans and the Borrower shall, on the last day of each current Interest Period for each outstanding LIBOR Loan, either cause such Loan to be repaid or cause such Loan to be Converted into a Base Rate Loan.

Section 5.3. Illegality.

Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, if any Lender shall reasonably determine (which determination shall be conclusive and binding) that it has become unlawful for such Lender to honor its obligation to make or maintain LIBOR Loans hereunder, then such Lender shall promptly notify the Borrower thereof (with a copy to the Agent) and such Lender’s obligation to make or Continue, or to Convert Loans of any other Type into, LIBOR Loans shall be suspended until such time as such Lender may again make and maintain LIBOR Loans (in which case the provisions of Section 5.5. shall be applicable).

Section 5.4. Compensation.

The Borrower shall pay to the Agent for the account of each Lender, upon the request of such Lender through the Agent, such amount or amounts as shall be sufficient (in the reasonable opinion of such Lender) to compensate it for any loss (but not lost profits), cost or expense that such Lender reasonably determines is attributable to:

(a)           any payment or prepayment (whether mandatory or optional) of a LIBOR Loan, or Conversion of a LIBOR Loan, made by such Lender for any reason (including, without limitation, acceleration) on a date other than the last day of the Interest Period for such Loan; or

(b)           any failure by the Borrower or the Florida Borrower for any reason (including, without limitation, the failure of any of the applicable conditions precedent specified in Article VI. to be satisfied) to borrow a LIBOR Loan from such Lender on the requested date for such borrowing, or to Convert a Base Rate Loan into a LIBOR Loan or Continue a LIBOR Loan on the requested date of such Conversion or Continuation.

Upon the Borrower’s request, any Lender requesting compensation under this Section shall provide the Borrower with a statement setting forth in reasonable detail the basis for requesting such compensation and the method for determining the amount thereof. Absent manifest error, determinations by any Lender in any such statement shall be conclusive, provided that such determinations are made on a reasonable basis and in good faith.

56




Section 5.5. Treatment of Affected Loans.

If the obligation of any Lender to make LIBOR Loans or to Continue, or to Convert Base Rate Loans into, LIBOR Loans shall be suspended pursuant to Section 5.1.(b) or 5.3., then such Lender’s LIBOR Loans shall be automatically Converted into Base Rate Loans on the last day(s) of the then current Interest Period(s) for LIBOR Loans (or, in the case of a Conversion required by Section 5.1.(b) or 5.3., on such earlier date as such Lender may specify to the Borrower with a copy to the Agent) and, unless and until such Lender gives notice as provided below that the circumstances specified in Section 5.1. or 5.3. that gave rise to such Conversion no longer exist:

(a)           to the extent that such Lender’s LIBOR Loans have been so Converted, all payments and prepayments of principal that would otherwise be applied to such Lender’s LIBOR 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 LIBOR Loans shall be made or Continued instead as Base Rate Loans, and all Base Rate Loans of such Lender that would otherwise be Converted into LIBOR Loans shall remain as Base Rate Loans.

If such Lender gives notice to the Borrower (with a copy to the Agent) that the circumstances specified in Section 5.1. or 5.3. that gave rise to the Conversion of such Lender’s LIBOR Loans pursuant to this Section no longer exist (which such Lender agrees to do promptly upon such circumstances ceasing to exist) at a time when LIBOR Loans made by other Lenders are outstanding, then 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 LIBOR Loans, to the extent necessary so that, after giving effect thereto, all Loans held by the Lenders holding LIBOR Loans and by such Lender are held pro rata (as to principal amounts, Types and Interest Periods) in accordance with their respective Commitments.

Section 5.6. Change of Lending Office.

Each Lender agrees that it will use reasonable efforts to designate an alternate Lending Office with respect to any of its Loans affected by the matters or circumstances described in Section 3.12., 5.1. or 5.3. to reduce the liability of the Borrower or avoid the results provided thereunder, so long as such designation is not disadvantageous to such Lender as determined by such Lender in its sole discretion, except that such Lender shall have no obligation to designate a Lending Office located in the United States of America.

Section 5.7. Assumptions Concerning Funding of LIBOR Loans.

Calculation of all amounts payable to a Lender under this Article V. shall be made as though such Lender had actually funded  LIBOR Loans through the purchase of deposits in the relevant market bearing interest at the rate applicable to such LIBOR Loans in an amount equal to the amount of the LIBOR Loans and having a maturity comparable to the relevant Interest Period; provided, however, that each Lender may fund each of its LIBOR Loans in any manner it sees fit and the foregoing assumption shall be used only for calculation of amounts payable under this Article V.

Section 11.6. Performance by Agent.

If the Borrower shall fail to perform any covenant, duty or agreement contained in any of the Loan Documents, the Agent may, after notice to the Borrower, perform or attempt to perform such covenant, duty or agreement on behalf of the Borrower after the expiration of any cure or grace periods set forth herein. In such event, the Borrower shall, at the request of the Agent, promptly pay any amount reasonably expended by the Agent in such performance or attempted performance to the Agent, together with interest thereon at the applicable Post-Default Rate from the date of such expenditure until paid. Notwithstanding the foregoing, neither the Agent nor any Lender shall have any liability or responsibility whatsoever for the performance of any obligation of the Borrower under this Agreement or any other Loan Document.

The rights and remedies of the Agent and the Lenders under this Agreement and each of the other Loan Documents shall be cumulative and not exclusive of any rights or remedies which any of them may otherwise have under Applicable Law. In exercising their respective rights and remedies the Agent and the Lenders may be selective and no failure or delay by the Agent or any

91




of the Lenders in exercising any right shall operate as a waiver of it, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any power or right preclude its other or further exercise or the exercise of any other power or right.

Nothing herein shall be construed to deem the Agent a trustee or fiduciary for any Lender or to impose on the Agent duties or obligations other than those expressly provided for herein. At the request of a Lender, the Agent will forward to such Lender copies or, where appropriate, originals of the documents delivered to the Agent pursuant to this Agreement or the other Loan Documents. The Agent will also furnish to any Lender, upon the request of such Lender, a copy of any certificate or notice furnished to the Agent by the Borrower, any other Loan Party or any other Affiliate of the Borrower, pursuant to this Agreement or any other Loan Document not already delivered to such Lender pursuant to the terms of this Agreement or any such other Loan Document. As to any matters not expressly provided for by the Loan Documents (including, without limitation, enforcement or collection of any of the Obligations), the Agent shall not be required to exercise any discretion or take any action, but shall be required to act or to refrain from acting (and shall be fully protected in so acting or refraining from acting) upon the instructions of the Requisite Lenders (or all of the Lenders if explicitly required under any other provision of this Agreement), and such instructions shall be binding upon all Lenders and all holders of any of the Obligations; provided, however, that, notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, the Agent shall not be required to take any action which exposes the Agent to personal liability or which is contrary to this Agreement or any other Loan Document or Applicable Law. Not in limitation of the foregoing, the Agent shall not exercise any right or remedy it or the Lenders may have under any Loan Document upon the occurrence of a Default or an Event of Default unless the Requisite Lenders (or all of the Lenders if explicitly required under any provision of this Agreement) have so directed the Agent to exercise such right or remedy.

Section 12.2. Agent’s Reliance, Etc.

Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Agreement or any other Loan Documents, neither the Agent nor any of its directors, officers, agents, employees or counsel shall be liable for any action taken or omitted to be taken by it or them under or in connection with this Agreement or any other Loan Document, except for its or their own gross negligence or willful misconduct as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final, non-appealable

92




judgment. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Agent: (a) may treat the payee of any Note as the holder thereof until the Agent receives written notice of the assignment or transfer thereof signed by such payee and in form satisfactory to the Agent; (b) may consult with legal counsel (including its own counsel or counsel for the Borrower or any other Loan Party), independent public accountants and other experts selected by it and shall not be liable for any action taken or omitted to be taken in good faith by it in accordance with the advice of such counsel, accountants or experts; (c) makes no warranty or representation to any Lender or any other Person and shall not be responsible to any Lender or any other Person for any statements, warranties or representations made by any Person in or in connection with this Agreement or any other Loan Document; (d) shall not have any duty to ascertain or to inquire as to the performance or observance of any of the terms, covenants or conditions of any of this Agreement or any other Loan Document or the satisfaction of any conditions precedent under this Agreement or any Loan Document on the part of the Borrower or other Persons (except for the delivery to it of any certificate or document specifically required to be delivered to it pursuant to Section 6.1.) or inspect the property, books or records of the Borrower or any other Person; (e) shall not be responsible to any Lender for the due execution, legality, validity, enforceability, genuineness, sufficiency or value of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, any other instrument or document furnished pursuant thereto or any collateral covered thereby or the perfection or priority of any Lien in favor of the Agent on behalf of the Lenders in any such collateral; and (f) shall incur no liability under or in respect of this Agreement or any other Loan Document by acting upon any notice, consent, certificate or other instrument or writing (which may be by telephone or telecopy) believed by it to be genuine and signed, sent or given by the proper party or parties.

Section 12.3. Notice of Defaults.

The Agent shall not be deemed to have knowledge or notice of the occurrence of a Default or Event of Default unless the Agent has received notice from a Lender or the Borrower referring to this Agreement, describing with reasonable specificity such Default or Event of Default and stating that such notice is a “notice of default.”  If any Lender (excluding the Lender which is also serving as the Agent) becomes aware of any Default or Event of Default, it shall promptly send to the Agent such a “notice of default.”  Further, if the Agent receives such a “notice of default”, the Agent shall give prompt notice thereof to the Lenders.

Section 12.4. Wachovia as Lender.

Wachovia, as a Lender, shall have the same rights and powers under this Agreement and any other Loan Document as any other Lender and may exercise the same as though it were not the Agent; and the term “Lender” or “Lenders” shall, unless otherwise expressly indicated, include Wachovia in each case in its individual capacity. Wachovia and its affiliates may each accept deposits from, maintain deposits or credit balances for, invest in, lend money to, act as trustee under indentures of, serve as financial advisor to, and generally engage in any kind of business with, the Borrower, any other Loan Party or any other Affiliate thereof as if it were any other bank and without any duty to account therefor to the other Lenders. Further, the Agent and any affiliate may accept fees and other consideration from the Borrower or any other Loan Party for services in connection with this Agreement and otherwise without having to account for the same to the other Lenders. The Lenders acknowledge that, pursuant to such activities, Wachovia

93




or its affiliates may receive information regarding the Borrower, other Loan Parties, other Subsidiaries and other Affiliates (including information that may be subject to confidentiality obligations in favor of such Person) and acknowledge that the Agent shall be under no obligation to provide such information to them.

Section 12.5. Approvals of Lenders.

All communications from the Agent to any Lender requesting such Lender’s determination, consent, approval or disapproval (a) shall be given in the form of a written notice to such Lender, (b) shall be accompanied by a description of the matter or issue as to which such determination, approval, consent or disapproval is requested, or shall advise such Lender where information, if any, regarding such matter or issue may be inspected, or shall otherwise describe the matter or issue to be resolved, (c) shall include, if reasonably requested by such Lender and to the extent not previously provided to such Lender, written materials and, as appropriate, a brief summary of all oral information provided to the Agent by the Borrower in respect of the matter or issue to be resolved, and (d) shall include the Agent’s recommended course of action or determination in respect thereof. Each Lender shall reply promptly, but in any event within 10 Business Days (or such lesser or greater period as may be specifically required under the Loan Documents) of receipt of such communication. Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, unless a Lender shall give written notice to the Agent that it specifically objects to the recommendation or determination of the Agent (together with a written explanation of the reasons behind such objection) within the applicable time period for reply, such Lender shall be deemed to have conclusively approved of or consented to such recommendation or determination.

Section 12.6. Collateral Matters.

(a)           The Agent is authorized on behalf of all of the Lenders, without the necessity of any notice to or further consent from any Lender, from time to time prior to an Event of Default, to take any action with respect to any Collateral or Loan Documents which may be necessary to perfect and maintain perfected the Liens upon the Collateral granted pursuant to any of the Loan Documents.

(b)           The Lenders hereby authorize the Agent, at its option and in its discretion, to release any Lien granted to or held by the Agent upon any Collateral (i) upon termination of this Agreement in accordance with Section 13.10.; or (ii) as required or permitted by Section 4.3. or Section 8.11. Upon request by the Agent at any time, the Lenders will confirm in writing the Agent’s authority to release particular types or items of Collateral pursuant to this Section or any other applicable provision of any of the other Loan Documents.

(c)           Upon any sale and transfer of Collateral which is expressly permitted pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, and upon at least 5 Business Days’ prior written request by the Borrower, the Agent shall (and is hereby irrevocably authorized by all of the Lenders to) execute such documents as may be necessary to evidence the release of the Liens granted to the Agent for the benefit of the Lenders herein or pursuant hereto upon the Collateral that was sold or transferred; provided, however, that (i) the Agent shall not be required to execute any such document on terms which, in the Agent’s opinion, would expose the Agent to liability or create

94




any obligation or entail any consequence other than the release of such Liens without recourse or warranty; and (ii) such release shall not in any manner discharge, affect or impair the Obligations or any Liens upon (or obligations of the Borrower or any other Loan Party in respect of) all interests retained by the Borrower or any other Loan Party, including (without limitation) the proceeds of the sale, all of which shall continue to constitute part of the Collateral. In the event of any sale or transfer of Collateral, or any foreclosure with respect to any of the Collateral, the Agent shall be authorized to deduct all of the expenses reasonably incurred by the Agent from the proceeds of any such sale, transfer or foreclosure.

(d)           The Agent shall have no obligation whatsoever to the Lenders or to any other Person to assure that the Collateral exists or is owned by any Loan Party or is cared for, protected or insured or that the Liens granted to the Agent herein or pursuant hereto have been properly or sufficiently or lawfully created, perfected, protected or enforced or are entitled to any particular priority, or to exercise or to continue exercising at all or in any manner or under any duty of care, disclosure or fidelity any of the rights, authorities and powers granted or available to the Agent in this Section or in any of the Loan Documents, it being understood and agreed that in respect of the Collateral, or any act, omission or event related thereto, the Agent may act in any manner it may deem appropriate, in its sole discretion, given the Agent’s own interest in the Collateral as one of the Lenders and that the Agent shall have no duty or liability whatsoever to the Lenders, except to the extent found in a final non-appealable judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from the Agent’s gross negligence or willful misconduct.

Section 12.7. Lender Credit Decision, Etc.

Each Lender expressly acknowledges and agrees that neither the Agent nor any of its officers, directors, employees, agents, counsel, attorneys-in-fact or other affiliates has made any representations or warranties as to the financial condition, operations, creditworthiness, solvency or other information concerning the business or affairs of Holdings, the Borrower, any other Loan Party, any other Subsidiary or any other Person to such Lender and that no act by the Agent hereafter taken, including any review of the affairs of Holdings, the Borrower, any other Loan Party or any other Subsidiary, shall be deemed to constitute any such representation or warranty by the Agent to any Lender. Each Lender acknowledges that it has made its own credit and legal analysis and decision to enter into this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby, independently and without reliance upon the Agent, any other Lender or counsel to the Agent, or any of their respective officers, directors, employees and agents, and based on the financial statements of the Holdings, Borrower, the other Subsidiaries or any other Affiliate thereof, and inquiries of such Persons, its independent due diligence of the business and affairs of the Borrower, the other Loan Parties, the Subsidiaries and other Persons, its review of the Loan Documents, the legal opinions required to be delivered to it hereunder, the advice of its own counsel and such other documents and information as it has deemed appropriate. Each Lender also acknowledges that it will, independently and without reliance upon the Agent, any other Lender or counsel to the Agent or any of their respective officers, directors, employees and agents, and based on such review, advice, documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own decisions in taking or not taking action under the Loan Documents. Except for notices, reports and other documents and information expressly required to be furnished to the Lenders by the Agent under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, the Agent shall have no duty or responsibility to provide any Lender with any

95




credit or other information concerning the business, operations, property, financial and other condition or creditworthiness of Holdings, the Borrower, any other Loan Party or any other Affiliate thereof which may come into possession of the Agent, or any of its officers, directors, employees, agents, attorneys-in-fact or other affiliates. Each Lender acknowledges that the Agent’s legal counsel in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement is only acting as counsel to the Agent and is not acting as counsel to such Lender.

Section 12.8. Indemnification of Agent.

Each Lender agrees to indemnify the Agent (to the extent not reimbursed by the Borrower and without limiting the obligation of the Borrower to do so) pro rata in accordance with such Lender’s respective Commitment Percentage, from and against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses, or disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever which may at any time be imposed on, incurred by, or asserted against the Agent (in its capacity as Agent but not as a Lender) in any way relating to or arising out of the Loan Documents, any transaction contemplated hereby or thereby or any action taken or omitted by the Agent under the Loan Documents (collectively, “Indemnifiable Amounts”); provided, however, that no Lender shall be liable for any portion of such Indemnifiable Amounts to the extent resulting from the Agent’s gross negligence or willful misconduct as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final, non-appealable judgment or if the Agent fails to follow the written direction of the Requisite Lenders (or all of the Lenders if expressly required hereunder) unless such failure results from the Agent following the advice of counsel to the Agent of which advice the Lenders have received notice. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing but subject to the preceding proviso, each Lender agrees to reimburse the Agent (to the extent not reimbursed by the Borrower and without limiting the obligation of the Borrower to do so), promptly upon demand for its ratable share of any out-of-pocket expenses (including counsel fees of the counsel(s) of the Agent’s own choosing) incurred by the Agent in connection with the preparation, negotiation, execution, or enforcement of, or legal advice with respect to the rights or responsibilities of the parties under, the Loan Documents, any suit or action brought by the Agent to enforce the terms of the Loan Documents and/or collect any Obligations, any “lender liability” suit or claim brought against the Agent and/or the Lenders, and any claim or suit brought against the Agent, and/or the Lenders arising under any Environmental Laws. Such out-of-pocket expenses (including counsel fees) shall be advanced by the Lenders on the request of the Agent notwithstanding any claim or assertion that the Agent is not entitled to indemnification hereunder upon receipt of an undertaking by the Agent that the Agent will reimburse the Lenders if it is actually and finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction that the Agent is not so entitled to indemnification. The agreements in this Section shall survive the payment of the Loans and all other amounts payable hereunder or under the other Loan Documents and the termination of this Agreement. If the Borrower shall reimburse the Agent for any Indemnifiable Amount following payment by any Lender to the Agent in respect of such Indemnifiable Amount pursuant to this Section, the Agent shall share such reimbursement on a ratable basis with each Lender making any such payment.

96




Section 12.9. Successor Agent.

The Agent may resign at any time as Agent under the Loan Documents by giving written notice thereof to the Lenders and the Borrower. Upon any such resignation, the Requisite Lenders shall have the right to appoint a successor Agent which appointment shall, provided no Default or Event of Default exists, be subject to the Borrower’s approval, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed (except that the Borrower shall, in all events, be deemed to have approved each Lender and its affiliates as a successor Agent). If no successor Agent shall have been so appointed in accordance with the immediately preceding sentence, and shall have accepted such appointment, within 30 days after the resigning Agent’s giving of notice of resignation, then the resigning Agent may, on behalf of the Lenders, appoint a successor Agent, which shall be a Lender, if any Lender shall be willing to serve, and otherwise shall be a commercial bank having total combined assets of at least $50,000,000,000 and provided no Default or Event of Default exists, shall be subject to the Borrower’s approval, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. Upon the acceptance of any appointment as Agent hereunder by a successor Agent, such successor Agent shall thereupon succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring Agent, and the retiring Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations under the Loan Documents. Such successor Agent shall issue letters of credit in substitution for the Letters of Credit, if any, outstanding at the time of such succession or shall make other arrangements satisfactory to the current Agent, in either case, to assume effectively the obligations of the current Agent with respect to such Letters of Credit. After any Agent’s resignation hereunder as Agent, the provisions of this Article XII. shall continue to inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was Agent under the Loan Documents.

Section 12.10. Titled Agents.

Each of the Titled Agents in each such respective capacity, assumes no responsibility or obligation hereunder, including, without limitation, for servicing, enforcement or collection of any of the Loans, or for any duties as an agent hereunder for the Lenders. The titles of “Arrangers”, “Syndication Agent”, and other similar titles are solely honorific and imply no fiduciary responsibility on the part of the Titled Agents to the Agent, the Borrower or any Lender and the use of such titles does not impose on the Titled Agents any duties or obligations greater than those of any other Lender or entitle the Titled Agents to any rights other than those to which any other Lender is entitled.

(b)           Assignments by Lenders. Any Lender may at any time assign to one or more assignees (an “Assignee”) all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment and the Loans at the time owing to it); provided that any such assignment shall be subject to the following conditions:

(i)            Minimum Amounts.

(A)          in the case of an assignment of the entire remaining amount of the assigning Lender’s Commitment and the Loans at the time owing to it or in the case of an assignment to a Lender, an affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund, no minimum amount need be assigned; and

(B)           in any case not described in the immediately preceding subsection (A), the aggregate amount of the Commitment (which for this purpose includes Loans outstanding thereunder) or, if the applicable Commitment is not then in effect, the principal outstanding balance of the Loans of the assigning Lender subject to each such assignment (determined as of the date the Assignment and Assumption with respect to such assignment is delivered to the Agent or, if “Trade Date” is specified in the Assignment and Assumption, as of the Trade Date) shall not be less than $5,000,000 unless each of the Agent and, so long as no Default or Event of Default shall exist, the Borrower otherwise consents (each such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed).

(ii)           Proportionate Amounts.

(c)           Register. The Agent, acting solely for this purpose as an agent of the Borrower, shall maintain at the Principal Office a copy of each Assignment and Acceptance delivered to it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders, and the

102




Commitments of, and principal amounts of the Loans owing to, each Lender pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the “Register”). The entries in the Register shall be conclusive, and the Borrowers, the Agent and the Lenders may treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement, notwithstanding notice to the contrary. The Register shall be available for inspection by the Borrower and any Lender, at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.

(d)           Participations. Any Lender may at any time, without the consent of, or notice to, the Borrowers or the Agent, sell participations to any Person (other than a natural person or the Borrower or any of the Borrower’s Affiliates or Subsidiaries) (each, a “Participant”) in all or a portion of such Lender’s rights and/or obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment and/or the Loans owing to it); provided that (i) such Lender’s obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (ii) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations and (iii) the Borrowers, the Agent and the Lenders shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement. Any agreement or instrument pursuant to which a Lender sells such a participation shall provide that such Lender shall retain the sole right to enforce this Agreement and to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any  provision of this Agreement; provided that such agreement or instrument may provide that such Lender will not, without the consent of the Participant, agree to any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of any Loan Document described in the second sentence of Section 13.6. that adversely affects such Participant. Subject to the immediately following subsection (e), the Borrowers agree that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 3.12., 5.1., 5.4. to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to paragraph (b) of this Section. To the extent permitted by Applicable Law, each Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 13.3. as though it were a Lender, provided such Participant agrees to be subject to Section 3.3. as though it were a Lender. Upon request from the Agent, a Lender shall notify the Agent and the Borrower of the sale of any participation hereunder.

(e)           Limitations upon Participant Rights. A Participant shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Sections 3.12. and 5.1. 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 the Borrower’s prior written consent. A Participant that would be a Foreign Lender if it were a Lender shall not be entitled to the benefits of Section 3.12. unless the Borrower is notified of the participation sold to such Participant and such Participant agrees, for the benefit of the Borrowers and the Agent, to comply with Section 3.12.(c) as though it were a Lender.

(f)            Certain Pledges. Any Lender may at any time pledge or assign a security interest in all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement to secure obligations of such Lender, including any pledge or assignment to secure obligations to a Federal Reserve Bank; provided that no such pledge or assignment shall release such Lender from any of its obligations hereunder or substitute any such pledgee or assignee for such Lender as a party hereto.

103




(g)           No Registration. Each Lender agrees that, without the prior written consent of the Borrower and the Agent, it will not make any assignment hereunder in any manner or under any circumstances that would require registration or qualification of, or filings in respect of, any Loan or Note under the Securities Act or any other securities laws of the United States of America or of any other jurisdiction.

Section 13.6. Amendments.

(a)           Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement, any consent or approval required or permitted by this Agreement or any other Loan Document to be given by the Lenders may be given, and any term of this Agreement or of any other Loan Document may be amended, and the performance or observance by the Borrower or any other Loan Party or any Subsidiary of any terms of this Agreement or such other Loan Document or the continuance of any Default or Event of Default may be waived (either generally or in a particular instance and either retroactively or prospectively) with, but only with, the written consent of the Requisite Lenders (and, in the case of an amendment to any Loan Document, the written consent of each Loan Party a party thereto).

(b)           Notwithstanding the foregoing, without the prior written consent of each Lender adversely affected thereby, no amendment, waiver or consent shall do any of the following:

(i)            increase the Commitments of the Lenders (except for any increase in the Commitments effectuated pursuant to Section 2.14.) or subject the Lenders to any additional obligations;

(ii)           reduce the principal of, or interest that has accrued or the rates of interest that will be charged on the outstanding principal amount of, any Loans or other Obligations;

(iii)          reduce the amount of any Fees payable hereunder or postpone any date fixed for payment thereof;

(iv)          modify the definition of the term “Termination Date” or otherwise postpone any date fixed for any payment of any principal of, or interest on, any Loans or any other Obligations (including the waiver of any Default or Event of Default as a result of the nonpayment of any such Obligations as and when due), or extend the expiration date of any Letter of Credit beyond the Termination Date;

(v)           amend or otherwise modify the provisions of Section 3.2.;

(vi)          modify the definition of the term “Requisite Lenders” or otherwise modify in any other manner the number or percentage of the Lenders required to make any determinations or waive any rights hereunder or to modify any provision hereof, including without limitation, any modification of this Section 13.6. if such modification would have such effect;

104




(vii)         release any Guarantor from its obligations under the Guaranty (except as otherwise permitted under Section 8.11.(b) or in connection with the release of a Collateral Property as permitted in Section 4.3.);

(viii)        release any of the Collateral from the Lien of the Security Documents (except as otherwise permitted under Section 8.11.(c) or in connection with the release of a Collateral Property as permitted in Section 4.3.); or

(ix)           amend or otherwise modify the provisions of Section 2.13.

(c)           No amendment, waiver or consent, unless in writing and signed by the Agent, in such capacity, in addition to the Lenders required hereinabove to take such action, shall affect the rights or duties of the Agent under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents. Any amendment, waiver or consent relating to Section 2.2. or the obligations of the Swingline Lender under this Agreement or any other Loan Document shall, in addition to the Lenders required hereinabove to take such action, require the written consent of the Swingline Lender.

(d)           No waiver shall extend to or affect any obligation not expressly waived or impair any right consequent thereon and any amendment, waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose set forth therein. Except as otherwise provided in Section 12.5., no course of dealing or delay or omission on the part of the Agent or any Lender in exercising any right shall operate as a waiver thereof or otherwise be prejudicial thereto. Any Event of Default occurring hereunder shall continue to exist until such time as such Event of Default is waived in writing in accordance with the terms of this Section, notwithstanding any attempted cure or other action by the Borrower, any other Loan Party or any other Person subsequent to the occurrence of such Event of Default. Except as otherwise explicitly provided for herein or in any other Loan Document, no notice to or demand upon the Borrower shall entitle the Borrower to any other or further notice or demand in similar or other circumstances.

Section 13.7. Nonliability of Agent and Lenders.

The relationship between the Borrowers, on the one hand, and the Lenders and the Agent, on the other hand, shall be solely that of borrower and lender. Neither the Agent nor any Lender shall have any fiduciary responsibilities to the Borrower or any other Loan Party and no provision in this Agreement or in any of the other Loan Documents, and no course of dealing between or among any of the parties hereto, shall be deemed to create any fiduciary duty owing by the Agent or any Lender to any Lender, the Borrower, any Subsidiary or any other Loan Party. Neither the Agent nor any Lender undertakes any responsibility to the Borrowers to review or inform the Borrowers of any matter in connection with any phase of the Borrowers’ business or operations.

Section 13.8. Confidentiality.

The Agent and each Lender shall use reasonable efforts to assure that information about Holdings, the Borrower, the other Loan Parties and the other Subsidiaries, and the Properties thereof and their operations, affairs and financial condition, not generally disclosed to the public, which is furnished to the Agent or any Lender pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement or

105




any other Loan Document, is used only for the purposes of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and shall not be divulged to any Person other than the Agent, the Lenders, and their respective agents who are actively and directly participating in the evaluation, administration or enforcement of the Loan Documents and other transactions between the Agent or such Lender, as applicable, and the Holdings or Borrower, as applicable, but in any event the Agent and the Lenders may make disclosure: (a) to any of their respective affiliates (provided they shall agree to keep such information confidential in accordance with the terms of this Section 13.8.); (b) as reasonably requested by any potential or actual Assignee, Participant or other transferee in connection with the contemplated transfer of any Commitment or participations therein as permitted hereunder (provided they shall agree to keep such information confidential in accordance with the terms of this Section); (c) as required or requested by any Governmental Authority or representative thereof or pursuant to legal process or in connection with any legal proceedings or as otherwise required by Applicable Law; (d) to the Agent’s or such Lender’s independent auditors and other professional advisors (provided they shall be notified of the confidential nature of the information); (e) after the happening and during the continuance of an Event of Default, to any other Person, in connection with the exercise by the Agent or the Lenders of rights hereunder or under any of the other Loan Documents; (f) upon the prior consent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld) of Holdings or the Borrower, as applicable, to any contractual counter-parties to any swap or similar hedging agreement or to any rating agency; and (g) to the extent such information (x) becomes publicly available other than as a result of a breach of this Section actually known to such Lender to be such a breach or (y) becomes available to the Agent or any Lender on a nonconfidential basis from a source other than the Borrower or any Affiliate. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Agent and each Lender may disclose any such confidential information, without notice to the Borrower or any other Loan Party, to Governmental Authorities in connection with any regulatory examination of the Agent or such Lender or in accordance with the regulatory compliance policy of the Agent or such Lender.

Section 13.9. Indemnification.

(a)           The Borrower shall and hereby agrees to indemnify, defend and hold harmless the Agent, each of the Lenders, any affiliate of the Agent or any Lender, and their respective directors, officers, shareholders, agents, employees and counsel (each referred to herein as an “Indemnified Party”) to the fullest extent permitted by law, from and against any and all of the following (collectively, the “Indemnified Costs”):  losses, costs, claims, damages, liabilities, deficiencies, judgments or reasonable expenses of every kind and nature (including, without limitation, amounts paid in settlement, court costs and the reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel incurred in connection with any litigation, investigation, claim or proceeding or any advice rendered in connection therewith, but excluding losses, costs, claims, damages, liabilities, deficiencies, judgments or expenses indemnification in respect of which is specifically covered by Section 3.12. or 5.1. or expressly excluded from the coverage of such Section 3.12. or 5.1.) incurred by an Indemnified Party in connection with, arising out of, or by reason of, any suit, cause of action, claim, arbitration, investigation or settlement, consent decree or other proceeding (the foregoing referred to herein as an “Indemnity Proceeding”) which is in any way related directly or indirectly to: (i) this Agreement or any other Loan Document or the transactions contemplated thereby; (ii) the making of any Loans or issuance of Letters of Credit hereunder; (iii) any actual or proposed use by the Borrowers of the proceeds of the Loans or Letters of

106




Credit; (iv) the Agent’s or any Lender’s entering into this Agreement; (v) the fact that the Agent and the Lenders have established the credit facility evidenced hereby in favor of the Borrowers; (vi) the fact that the Agent and the Lenders are creditors of the Borrowers and have or are alleged to have information regarding the financial condition, strategic plans or business operations of the Borrower and the Subsidiaries; (vii) the fact that the Agent and the Lenders are material creditors of the Borrowers and are alleged to influence directly or indirectly the business decisions or affairs of the Borrower and the Subsidiaries or their financial condition; (viii) the exercise of any right or remedy the Agent or the Lenders may have under this Agreement or the other Loan Documents; (ix) any civil penalty or fine assessed by the OFAC against, and all reasonable costs and expenses (including counsel fees and disbursements) incurred in connection with defense thereof by, the Agent or any Lender as a result of conduct of the Borrower, any other Loan Party or any Subsidiary that violates a sanction enforced by the OFAC; or (x) any violation or non-compliance by the Borrower or any Subsidiary of any Applicable Law (including any Environmental Law) including, but not limited to, any Indemnity Proceeding commenced by (A) the Internal Revenue Service or state taxing authority or (B) any Governmental Authority or other Person under any Environmental Law, including any Indemnity Proceeding commenced by a Governmental Authority or other Person seeking remedial or other action to cause the Borrower or its Subsidiaries (or its respective properties) (or the Agent and/or the Lenders as successors to the Borrower) to be in compliance with such Environmental Laws; provided, however, that the Borrower shall not be obligated to indemnify any Indemnified Party for (A) any acts or omissions of such Indemnified Party in connection with matters described in this subsection to the extent arising from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnified Party, as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final, non-appealable judgment or (B) Indemnified Costs to the extent arising directly out of or resulting directly from claims of one or more Indemnified Parties against another Indemnified Party.

(b)           The Borrower’s indemnification obligations under this Section 13.9. shall apply to all Indemnity Proceedings arising out of, or related to, the foregoing whether or not an Indemnified Party is a named party in such Indemnity Proceeding. In this regard, this indemnification shall cover all Indemnified Costs of any Indemnified Party in connection with any deposition of any Indemnified Party or compliance with any subpoena (including any subpoena requesting the production of documents). This indemnification shall, among other things, apply to any Indemnity Proceeding commenced by other creditors of the Borrower or any Subsidiary, any shareholder of the Borrower or any Subsidiary (whether such shareholder(s) are prosecuting such Indemnity Proceeding in their individual capacity or derivatively on behalf of the Borrower), any account debtor of the Borrower or any Subsidiary or by any Governmental Authority. If indemnification is to be sought hereunder by an Indemnified Party, then such Indemnified Party shall notify the Borrower of the commencement of any Indemnity Proceeding; provided, however, that the failure to so notify the Borrower shall not relieve the Borrower from any liability that it may have to such Indemnified Party pursuant to this Section 13.9.

(c)           This indemnification shall apply to any Indemnity Proceeding arising during the pendency of any bankruptcy proceeding filed by or against the Borrower and/or any Subsidiary.

(d)           All out-of-pocket fees and expenses of, and all amounts paid to third-persons by, an Indemnified Party shall be advanced by the Borrower at the request of such Indemnified Party

107




notwithstanding any claim or assertion by the Borrower that such Indemnified Party is not entitled to indemnification hereunder, upon receipt of an undertaking by such Indemnified Party that such Indemnified Party will reimburse the Borrower if it is actually and finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction that such Indemnified Party is not so entitled to indemnification hereunder.

(e)           An Indemnified Party may conduct its own investigation and defense of, and may formulate its own strategy with respect to, any Indemnity Proceeding covered by this Section and, as provided above, all Indemnified Costs incurred by such Indemnified Party shall be reimbursed by the Borrower. No action taken by legal counsel chosen by an Indemnified Party in investigating or defending against any such Indemnity Proceeding shall vitiate or in any way impair the obligations and duties of the Borrower hereunder to indemnify and hold harmless each such Indemnified Party; provided, however, that if (i) the Borrower is required to indemnify an Indemnified Party pursuant hereto and (ii) the Borrower has provided evidence reasonably satisfactory to such Indemnified Party that the Borrower has the financial wherewithal to reimburse such Indemnified Party for any amount paid by such Indemnified Party with respect to such Indemnity Proceeding, such Indemnified Party shall not settle or compromise any such Indemnity Proceeding without the prior written consent of the Borrower (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed). Notwithstanding the foregoing, an Indemnified Party may settle or compromise any such Indemnity Proceeding without the prior written consent of the Borrower where (x) no monetary relief is sought against such Indemnified Party in such Indemnity Proceeding or (y) there is an allegation of a violation of law by such Indemnified Party.

(f)            If and to the extent that the obligations of the Borrower under this Section are unenforceable for any reason, the Borrower hereby agrees to make the maximum contribution to the payment and satisfaction of such obligations which is permissible under Applicable Law.

(g)           The Borrower’s obligations under this Section shall survive any termination of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and the payment in full in cash of the Obligations, and are in addition to, and not in substitution of, any other of their obligations set forth in this Agreement or any other Loan Document to which it is a party.

Section 13.10. Termination; Survival.

At such time as (a) all of the Commitments have been terminated, (b) all Letters of Credit have terminated or expired, (c) none of the Lenders nor the Swingline Lender is obligated any longer under this Agreement to make any Loans and (d) all Obligations (other than obligations which survive as provided in the following sentence) have been paid and satisfied in full, this Agreement shall terminate. The indemnities to which the Agent, the Lenders and the Swingline Lender are entitled under the provisions of Sections 3.12., 5.1., 5.4., 12.8., 13.2. and 13.9. and any other provision of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and the provisions of Section 13.4., shall continue in full force and effect and shall protect the Agent, the Lenders and the Swingline Lender (i) notwithstanding any termination of this Agreement, or of the other Loan Documents, against events arising after such termination as well as before and (ii) at all times after any such party ceases to be a party to this Agreement with respect to all matters and events existing on or prior to the date such party ceased to be a party to this Agreement. The

108




Agent agrees to furnish to the Borrower, upon the Borrower’s request and at the Borrower’s sole cost and expense, any release, termination, or other agreement or document evidencing the foregoing termination and the release of the Liens created under any of the Security Documents as may be reasonably requested by the Borrower.

Section 13.11. Severability of Provisions.

Any provision of this Agreement which is prohibited or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective only to the extent of such prohibition or unenforceability without invalidating the remainder of such provision or the remaining provisions or affecting the validity or enforceability of such provision in any other jurisdiction.

Section 13.12. GOVERNING LAW.

THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK APPLICABLE TO CONTRACTS EXECUTED, AND TO BE FULLY PERFORMED, IN SUCH STATE.

Section 13.13. Patriot Act.

The Lenders and the Agent each hereby notifies the Borrowers that pursuant to the requirements of the USA Patriot Act (Title III of Pub. L. 107-56 (signed into law October 26, 2001)), it is required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies the Borrower and the other Loan Parties, which information includes the name and address of the Borrower and the other Loan Parties and other information that will allow such Lender or the Agent, as applicable, to identify the Borrower and the other Loan Parties in accordance with such Act.

Section 13.14. Counterparts.

This Agreement and any amendments, waivers, consents or supplements may be executed in any number of counterparts and by different parties hereto in separate counterparts, each of which when so executed and delivered shall be deemed an original, but all of which counterparts together shall constitute but one and the same instrument.

Section 13.15. Obligations with Respect to Loan Parties.

The obligations of the Borrower to direct or prohibit the taking of certain actions by the other Loan Parties as specified herein shall be absolute and not subject to any defense the Borrower may have that the Borrower does not control such Loan Parties.

Section 13.16. Limitation of Liability.

Neither the Agent nor any Lender, nor any affiliate, officer, director, employee, attorney, or agent of the Agent or any Lender shall have any liability with respect to, and each of Holdings and the Borrower hereby waives, releases, and agrees not to sue any of them upon, any claim for any special, indirect, incidental, or consequential damages suffered or incurred by Holdings or the Borrower in connection with, arising out of, or in any way related to, this Agreement or any

109




of the other Loan Documents, or any of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents. Each of Holdings and the Borrower hereby waives, releases, and agrees not to sue the Agent or any Lender or any of the Agent’s or any Lender’s affiliates, officers, directors, employees, attorneys, or agents for punitive damages in respect of any claim in connection with, arising out of, or in any way related to, this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, or any of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or financed hereby.

Section 13.17. Entire Agreement.

This Agreement and the other Loan Documents referred to herein embody the final, entire agreement among the parties hereto and supersede any and all prior commitments, agreements, representations, and understandings, whether written or oral, relating to the subject matter hereof and thereof and may not be contradicted or varied by evidence of prior, contemporaneous, or subsequent oral agreements or discussions of the parties hereto. There are no oral agreements among the parties hereto.

Section 13.18. Construction.

The Agent, each Lender, the Borrowers and Holdings acknowledge that each of them has had the benefit of legal counsel of its own choice and has been afforded an opportunity to review this Agreement and the other Loan Documents with its legal counsel and that this Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall be construed as if jointly drafted by the Agent, each Lender, the Borrowers and Holdings.
