Item 1.01 | Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement. |
As previously disclosed, on May 9, 2018, New Senior Investment Group Inc. (the Company), through certain of its wholly owned subsidiaries, as landlords (collectively, the Landlords), and certain affiliates of Holiday Retirement (Holiday), as tenants (collectively, the Tenants), entered into a Lease Termination Agreement (the Lease Termination Agreement) with respect to two triple net leases, each dated December 23, 2013 (collectively, the Master Leases), relating to 51 independent living senior housing facilities owned by the Company (the Holiday Portfolio). Pursuant to the Lease Termination Agreement, the parties agreed to terminate the Master Leases upon the satisfaction of certain conditions, including a condition that the Company refinance the Holiday Portfolio on or before May 21, 2018.
On May 14, 2018, certain wholly owned subsidiaries of the Company, as borrowers (collectively, the Borrowers), entered into a one-year term loan with JPMorgan Chase Bank, National Association (Lender) in the original principal amount of $720 million (the Loan and the agreements evidencing the same, the Loan Documents), including (i) a mortgage loan in the original principal amount of $625 million (the Mortgage Loan), which is secured by the Holiday Portfolio and (ii) a mezzanine loan in the original principal amount of $95 million, which is secured by a pledge of the equity interests of the Borrowers of the Mortgage Loan.
The Loan bears interest at a rate per annum equal to the sum of (i) LIBOR and (ii) 4.0% through the sixth monthly payment date, 4.5% after the sixth monthly payment date and 5.0% after the ninth monthly payment date. The Loan is subject to a 0.75% origination fee and certain exit fees payable to the originating Lender for prepayment under certain circumstances. The Loan Documents contain customary representations, warranties and covenants, including, but not limited to, a requirement that the Borrowers maintain a minimum debt yield ratio throughout the term of the Loan. In addition, the Loan Documents include customary events of default for financings of this type (with customary grace periods, as applicable).
Pursuant to the Loan Documents, the Company has guaranteed certain of the Borrowers obligations, including repayment of up to $50 million of the principal amount of the Loan. Pursuant to such guaranty, the Company is required to maintain a minimum net worth of $150 million and liquidity of at least $15 million.
On May 14, 2018, the Company used the funds from the Loan to prepay all amounts due and owing under the loan facilities entered into on December 23, 2013 by and between wholly owned subsidiaries of the Company, as borrowers, and GS Commercial Real Estate LP, as lender, which were secured by the Holiday Portfolio. The Company incurred prepayment fees and expenses of approximately $62 million.
On May 14, 2018, all of the conditions to the effectiveness of the termination of the Master Leases were satisfied. Accordingly, pursuant to the Lease Termination Agreement, (i) the Tenants paid to the Landlords a fee of $70 million and forfeited to the Landlords security deposits in the aggregate amount of approximately $46 million, (ii) the Master Leases were terminated, and (iii) the parties entered into a property management agreement for each facility in the Holiday Portfolio, which continues to be owned by the Company, pursuant to which Holiday will manage the Holiday Portfolio.
The foregoing description of the Loan Documents and the transactions contemplated thereby does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Loan Documents, copies of which are filed as Exhibits 10.1 and 10.2 hereto and are incorporated herein by reference.

(i) the Acceptable Counterparty is duly organized, validly existing, and in good standing under the laws of its jurisdiction of incorporation or formation and has the organizational power and authority to execute and deliver, and to perform its obligations under, the Interest Rate Cap Agreement;
(ii) the execution and delivery of the Interest Rate Cap Agreement by the Acceptable Counterparty, and any other agreement which the Acceptable Counterparty has executed and delivered pursuant thereto, and the performance of its obligations thereunder have been and remain duly authorized by all necessary action and do not contravene any provision of its certificate of incorporation or by-laws (or equivalent organizational documents) or any law, regulation or contractual restriction binding on or affecting it or its property;
(iii) all consents, authorizations and approvals required for the execution and delivery by the Acceptable Counterparty of the Interest Rate Cap Agreement, and any other agreement which the Acceptable Counterparty has executed and delivered pursuant thereto, and the performance of its obligations thereunder have been obtained and remain in full force and effect, all conditions thereof have been duly complied with, and no other action by, and no notice to or filing with any governmental authority or regulatory body is required for such execution, delivery or performance; and

(g) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 2.2.7 or elsewhere in this Agreement, if, at any time, Lender converts the Loan to either a Prime Rate Loan or an Alternate Rate Loan in accordance with Section 2.2.3 above (each, a Rate Conversion), then within thirty (30) days after such Rate Conversion, Borrower shall enter into, make all payments under, and satisfy all conditions precedent to the effectiveness of, a Substitute Interest Rate Cap Agreement (and in connection therewith, but not prior to Borrower taking all the actions described in this clause (i), Borrower shall have the right to terminate any then-existing Interest Rate Cap Agreement).
(h) As used herein, Substitute Interest Rate Cap Agreement shall mean an interest rate cap agreement between an Acceptable Counterparty and Borrower (or IR Cap Borrower on behalf of and for the benefit of Borrower), obtained by Borrower and collaterally assigned to Lender pursuant to an Assignment of Interest Rate Cap Agreement (or substantially similar collateral assignment) and shall contain each of the following:
(i) a term expiring no earlier than the end of the Interest Period in which the Maturity Date occurs;
(ii) the notional amount of the Substitute Interest Rate Cap Agreement shall be equal to or greater than the then outstanding principal balance of the Loan;
(iii) it provides that the only monetary and material obligation of Borrower thereunder is the making of a single payment to the Acceptable Counterparty thereunder upon the execution and delivery thereof and there are no other conditions to the effectiveness of such Substitute Interest Rate Cap Agreement;
(iv) it provides to Lender and Borrower (as determined by Lender in its sole but good faith discretion), for the term of the Substitute Interest Rate Cap Agreement, a protection against rising interest rates that is no less beneficial to Borrower and Lender than that which was provided by the Interest Rate Cap Agreement being replaced by the Substitute Interest Rate Cap Agreement ; and
(v) without limiting any of the provisions of the preceding clauses (i) through (iv) above, it satisfies all of the requirements set forth in clauses (i) through (iii) and clause (v) of Section 2.2.7(a) hereof.

(D) if a payment made to a Lender under any Loan Document would be subject to U.S. federal withholding tax imposed by FATCA if such Lender were to fail to comply with the applicable reporting requirements of FATCA (including those contained in Section 1471(b) or 1472(b) of the Code, as applicable), such Lender shall deliver to the Borrower at the time or times prescribed by law and at such time or times reasonably requested by the Borrower such documentation prescribed by applicable law (including as prescribed by Section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of the Code) and such additional documentation reasonably requested by the Borrower as may be necessary for the Borrower to comply with their obligations under FATCA and to determine that such Lender has complied with such Lenders obligations under FATCA or to determine the amount to deduct and withhold from such payment. Solely for purposes of this clause (D), FATCA shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the date of this Agreement.

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

4.1.5 Agreements. No Loan Party is a party to any agreement or instrument or subject to any restriction which would reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. No Loan Party is in default in any material respect in the performance, observance or fulfillment of any of the obligations, covenants or conditions contained in any agreement or instrument to which it is a party or by which Loan Party or any Individual Property is bound.

-54-
4.1.6 Title. Borrower has good, marketable and insurable fee simple title or with respect to the Ground Lease Properties, leasehold estate title, to the real property comprising part of each Individual Property, as applicable, and good title to the balance of such Individual Property, free and clear of all Liens whatsoever except the Permitted Encumbrances, such other Liens as are permitted pursuant to the Loan Documents and the Liens created by the Loan Documents. Operating Lessee has good, marketable and insurable leasehold estate title to the real property comprising part of each Individual Property, as applicable, and good title to the balance of such Individual Property, free and clear of all Liens whatsoever except the Permitted Encumbrances, such other Liens as are permitted pursuant to the Loan Documents and the Liens created by the Loan Documents. The Permitted Encumbrances in the aggregate do not materially and adversely affect the value, operation or use of the applicable Individual Property (as currently used) or Borrowers ability to repay the Loan. Each Mortgage, when properly recorded in the appropriate records, together with any Uniform Commercial Code financing statements required to be filed in connection therewith, will create (a) a valid, perfected first priority lien on the applicable Individual Property, subject only to Permitted Encumbrances and the Liens created by the Loan Documents and (b) perfected security interests in and to, and perfected collateral assignments of, all personalty (including the Leases), all in accordance with the terms thereof, in each case subject only to any applicable Permitted Encumbrances, such other Liens as are permitted pursuant to the Loan Documents and the Liens created by the Loan Documents.

Each Loan Party has (a) not entered into this transaction or executed the Note, this Agreement or any other Loan Documents with the actual intent to hinder, delay or defraud any creditor and (b) received reasonably equivalent value in exchange for its obligations under such Loan Documents. Giving effect to the Loan, the fair saleable value of each Loan Partys assets exceeds and will, immediately following the making of the Loan, exceed each Loan Partys total liabilities, including, without limitation, subordinated, unliquidated, disputed and contingent liabilities. The fair saleable value of each Loan Partys assets is and will, immediately following the making of the Loan, be greater than each Loan Partys probable liabilities, including the maximum amount of its contingent liabilities on its debts as such debts become absolute and matured. Each Loan Partys assets do not and, immediately following the making of the Loan will not, constitute unreasonably small capital to carry out its business as conducted or as proposed to be conducted. No Loan Party intends to, and does not believe that it will, incur debt and liabilities (including contingent liabilities and other commitments) beyond its ability to pay such debt and liabilities as they mature (taking into account the timing and amounts of cash to be received by each Loan Party and the amounts to be payable on or in respect of obligations of each Loan Party). No petition in bankruptcy has been filed against Borrower, any Loan Party or any constituent Person in the last seven (7) years, and neither Borrower, any Loan Party nor any constituent Person in the last seven (7) years has ever made an assignment for the benefit of creditors or taken advantage of any insolvency act for the benefit of debtors. Neither Borrower, any Loan Party nor any of its constituent Persons are contemplating either the filing of a petition by it under any state or federal bankruptcy or insolvency laws or the liquidation of all or a major portion of Borrowers or any Loan Partys assets or property, and neither Borrower nor any Loan Party has any knowledge of any Person contemplating the filing of any such petition against it or such constituent Persons.
-55-
4.1.8 Full and Accurate Disclosure. No statement of fact made by any Loan Party in this Agreement or in any of the other Loan Documents contains any untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state any material fact necessary to make statements contained herein or therein not misleading.

Each of the Borrower, Guarantor, each other Loan Party and their ERISA Affiliates is in compliance in all material respects with the applicable provisions of ERISA, the Code and other applicable law relating to any Plans and the regulations and published interpretations thereunder. Neither Borrower, any Loan Party nor Guarantor has incurred or reasonably expects to incur any liability for a Prohibited Transaction (as such term is defined in Section 406 of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code). No ERISA Event or termination of any Plan has occurred or is reasonably expected to occur and no notice of termination has been filed by or with the PBGC with respect to any Plan established or maintained by Borrower, Guarantor or any ERISA Affiliate.

Neither the Borrower, any Loan Party nor the Guarantor is a governmental plan within the meaning of Section 3(32) of ERISA and transactions by or with Borrower, any Loan Party or Guarantor are not subject to any state or other statute, regulation or other restriction regulating investments of, or fiduciary obligations with respect to, governmental plans within the meaning of Section 3(32) of ERISA which is similar to Section 406 of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code (Similar Law). The execution of this Agreement, the making of the Loan and the other transactions contemplated by the Loan Documents, including but not limited to the exercise by the Lender of its rights under the Loan Documents, are not and will not give rise to an unexempt Prohibited Transaction within the meaning of Section 406 of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code, and are not prohibited or otherwise restricted by Similar Law.

There has not been committed by Borrower, any Loan Party or any other Person in occupancy of or involved with the operation or use of the Properties any act or omission affording the federal government or any other Governmental Authority the right of forfeiture as against any Individual Property or any part thereof or any monies paid in performance of Borrowers or any Loan Partys obligations under any of the Loan Documents.

(e) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in the Loan Documents with respect to the disbursement of Insurance Proceeds or Condemnation Proceeds in respect of any Ground Lease Property, the Loan Parties acknowledge that the Ground Leases provide that the provisions set forth in this Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall govern and Borrower hereby agrees that compliance with the terms of this Agreement. and the other Loan Documents with respect to Insurance Proceeds and Condemnation Proceeds do not create a default under the terms and provisions of the applicable Ground Lease.

Borrower shall complete or cause the Required Repairs to be completed on or before December 31, 2018 or with respect to any Required Repair denoted with an asterisk, March 31, 2019 (subject to extension for Force Majeure); provided, however, if Borrower shall have been unable to complete a Required Repair by the Required Repair Deadline, after using commercially reasonable efforts to do so and provided that the failure to complete such Required Repair does not endanger any Tenant, resident, patron or other occupant of the applicable Individual Property or the general public and does not materially and adversely affect the value of the applicable Individual Property, the Required Repair Deadline shall be automatically extended solely as to such Required Repair to permit Borrower to complete such Required Repair so long as Borrower is at all times thereafter diligently proceeding to complete the same (provided that such additional period shall not, without the consent of Lender, exceed ninety (90) days in respect of any Required Repair). Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, Lender, at its option, may withdraw all Required Repair Funds from the Required Repair Account and Lender may apply such funds either to completion of the Required Repairs at one or more of the Properties or toward payment of the Debt in such order, proportion and priority as Lender may determine in its sole discretion. Lenders right to withdraw and apply Required Repair Funds shall be in addition to all other rights and remedies provided to Lender under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. On the Closing Date, Borrower shall deposit with Lender the amount for each Individual Property set forth on such Schedule III hereto to perform the Required Repairs for such Individual Property. Amounts so deposited with Lender shall be held by Lender in accordance with Section 7.6 hereof. Amounts so deposited shall hereinafter be referred to as Borrowers Required Repair Fund and the account in which such amounts are held shall hereinafter be referred to as Borrowers Required Repair Account.
7.1.2 Release of Required Repair Funds. Lender shall disburse to Borrower the Required Repair Funds from the Required Repair Account from time to time upon satisfaction by Borrower of each of the following conditions: (a) Borrower shall submit a written request for payment to Lender at least thirty (30) days prior to the date on which Borrower requests such payment be made and specifies the Required Repairs to be paid, (b) on the date such request is received by Lender and on the date such payment is to be made, no Default or Event of Default shall exist and remain uncured, (c) Lender shall have received an Officers Certificate (i) stating that all Required Repairs at the applicable Individual Property to be funded by the requested disbursement have been completed in good and workmanlike manner and in accordance with all applicable federal, state and local laws, rules and regulations, such certificate to be accompanied by a copy of any license, permit or other approval by any Governmental Authority required to commence and/or complete the Required Repairs,
-97-
(ii) identifying each Person that supplied materials or labor in connection with the Required Repairs performed at such Individual Property to be funded by the requested disbursement, and (iii) stating that each such Person has been paid in full or will be paid in full upon such disbursement, such Officers Certificate to be accompanied by lien waivers or other evidence of payment satisfactory to Lender, (d) at Lenders option, a title search for such Individual Property indicating that such Individual Property is free from all liens, claims and other encumbrances not previously approved by Lender, and (e) Lender shall have received such other evidence as Lender shall reasonably request that the Required Repairs at such Individual Property to be funded by the requested disbursement have been completed and are paid for or will be paid upon such disbursement to Borrower. Lender shall not be required to make disbursements from the Required Repair Account with respect to the any Individual Property (i) more than once a month and (ii) unless such requested disbursement is in an amount greater than $25,000.00 (or a lesser amount if the total amount in the Required Repair Account is less than $25,000.00), in which case only one disbursement of the amount remaining in the account shall be made) and such disbursement shall be made only upon satisfaction of each condition contained in this Section 7.1.2.
Section 7.2 Tax and Insurance Escrow Fund. Borrower shall pay to Lender on each Payment Date during a Cash Sweep Period, (i) one-twelfth (1/12) of the Taxes and Other Charges that Lender estimates will be payable during the next ensuing twelve (12) months in order to accumulate with Lender sufficient funds to pay all such Taxes and Other Charges at least thirty (30) days prior to their respective due dates, and (ii) one-twelfth (1/12) of the Insurance Premiums that Lender estimates will be payable for the renewal of the coverage afforded by the Policies upon the expiration thereof in order to accumulate with Lender sufficient funds to pay all such Insurance Premiums at least thirty (30) days prior to the expiration of the Policies (said amounts in (a) and (b) above hereinafter called the Tax and Insurance Escrow Fund). Lender will apply the Tax and Insurance Escrow Fund to payments of Taxes and Insurance Premiums required to be made by Borrower pursuant to Section 5.1.2 hereof and under the Mortgages. In making any payment relating to the Tax and Insurance Escrow Fund, Lender may do so according to any bill, statement or estimate procured from the appropriate public office (with respect to Taxes) or insurer or agent (with respect to Insurance Premiums), without inquiry into the accuracy of such bill, statement or estimate or into the validity of any tax, assessment, sale, forfeiture, tax lien or title or claim thereof. If the amount of the Tax and Insurance Escrow Fund shall exceed the amounts due for Taxes, Other Charges and Insurance Premiums pursuant to Section 5.1.2 hereof, Lender shall, in its sole discretion, return any excess to Borrower or credit such excess against future payments to be made to the Tax and Insurance Escrow Fund. If at any time Lender reasonably determines that the Tax and Insurance Escrow Fund is not or will not be sufficient to pay Taxes, Other Charges and Insurance Premiums by the dates set forth in (a) and (b) above, Lender shall notify Borrower of such determination and Borrower shall increase its monthly payments to Lender by the amount that Lender estimates is sufficient to make up the deficiency at least thirty (30) days prior to the due date of the Taxes and Other Charges and/or thirty (30) days prior to expiration of the Policies, as the case may be. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 7.2, provided that no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, to the extent that any of the insurance required to be maintained by Borrower under this Agreement and/or any other Loan Document is effected under a blanket policy reasonably satisfactory to Lender and otherwise in conformance with the requirements of Section 6.1 of this Agreement, Borrower shall not be required to make monthly deposits pursuant to clause (b) of this Section 7.2.

Section 7.3 Replacements and Replacement Reserve.
7.3.1 Replacement Reserve Fund. Borrower shall pay to Lender on each Payment Date during a Cash Sweep Period $170,508.33 (the Replacement Reserve Monthly Deposit) which amounts are reasonably estimated by Lender in its sole discretion to be due for capital improvements, replacements and repairs required to be made to the Properties during the calendar year (collectively, the Replacements). Amounts so deposited shall hereinafter be referred to as Borrowers Replacement Reserve Fund and the account in which such amounts are held shall hereinafter be referred to as Borrowers Replacement Reserve Account. Any amount held in the Replacement Reserve Account and allocated for an Individual Property shall be released by Lender to Borrower in the event such Individual Property is released from the Lien of its related Mortgage in accordance with Section 2.5 hereof.
7.3.2 Disbursements from Replacement Reserve Account. (a) Lender shall make disbursements from the Replacement Reserve Account to reimburse Borrower only for the costs of the Replacements. Lender shall not be obligated to make disbursements from the Replacement Reserve Account to reimburse Borrower for the costs of routine maintenance to an Individual Property, replacements of inventory or for costs which are to be reimbursed from the Required Repair Fund.
(b) Lender shall, upon written request from Borrower and satisfaction of the requirements set forth in this Section 7.3.2, disburse to Borrower amounts from the Replacement Reserve Account necessary to pay for the actual approved costs of Replacements or to reimburse Borrower therefor, upon completion of such Replacements (or, upon partial completion in the case of Replacements made pursuant to Section (e) hereof) as determined by Lender. In no event shall Lender be obligated to disburse funds from the Replacement Reserve Account if a Default or an Event of Default exists.
(c) Each request for disbursement from the Replacement Reserve Account shall be in a form specified or approved by Lender and shall specify (i) the specific Replacements for which the disbursement is requested, (ii) the quantity and price of each item purchased, if the Replacement includes the purchase or replacement of specific items, (iii) the price of all materials (grouped by type or category) used in any Replacement other than the purchase or replacement of specific items, and (iv) the cost of all contracted labor or other services applicable to each Replacement for which such request for disbursement is made. With each request Borrower shall certify that all Replacements have been made in accordance with all applicable Legal Requirements of any Governmental Authority having jurisdiction over the applicable Individual Property to which Replacements are being provided. Each request for disbursement shall include copies of invoices for all items or materials purchased and all contracted labor or services provided and, unless Lender has agreed to issue joint checks as described below in connection with a particular Replacement, each request shall include evidence satisfactory to Lender of payment of all such amounts. Except as provided in Section (e) hereof, each request for disbursement from the Replacement Reserve Account shall be made only after completion of the Replacement for which disbursement is requested. Borrower shall provide Lender evidence of completion of the subject Replacement satisfactory to Lender in its reasonable judgment.
-99-
(d) Borrower shall pay all invoices in connection with the Replacements with respect to which a disbursement is requested prior to submitting such request for disbursement from the Replacement Reserve Account or, at the request of Borrower, Lender will issue joint checks, payable to Borrower and the contractor, supplier, materialman, mechanic, subcontractor or other party to whom payment is due in connection with a Replacement. In the case of payments made by joint check, Lender may require a waiver of lien from each Person receiving payment prior to Lenders disbursement from the Replacement Reserve Account. In addition, as a condition to any disbursement, Lender may require Borrower to obtain lien waivers from each contractor, supplier, materialman, mechanic or subcontractor who receives payment in an amount equal to or greater than Fifty Thousand and No/100 Dollars ($50,000.00) for completion of its work or delivery of its materials. Any lien waiver delivered hereunder shall conform to the requirements of applicable law and shall cover all work performed and materials supplied (including equipment and fixtures) for the applicable Individual Property by that contractor, supplier, subcontractor, mechanic or materialman through the date covered by the current reimbursement request (or, in the event that payment to such contractor, supplier, subcontractor, mechanic or materialmen is to be made by a joint check, the release of lien shall be effective through the date covered by the previous release of funds request).
(e) If (i) the cost of a Replacement exceeds $50,000.00, (ii) the contractor performing such Replacement requires periodic payments pursuant to terms of a written contract, and (iii) Lender has approved in writing in advance such periodic payments, a request for reimbursement from the Replacement Reserve Account may be made after completion of a portion of the work under such contract, provided (A) such contract requires payment upon completion of such portion of the work, (B) the materials for which the request is made are on site at the applicable Individual Property and are properly secured or have been installed in the such Individual Property, (C) all other conditions in this Agreement for disbursement have been satisfied, (D) funds remaining in the Replacement Reserve Account are, in Lenders judgment, sufficient to complete such Replacement and other Replacements when required, and (E) if required by Lender, each contractor or subcontractor receiving payments under such contract shall provide a waiver of lien with respect to amounts which have been paid to that contractor or subcontractor.
(f) Borrower shall not be entitled to disbursement from the Replacement Reserve Account more frequently than once in any calendar month and (except in connection with the final disbursement) the total cost of all Replacements in any request shall not be less than Twenty-Five Thousand and No/100 Dollars ($25,000.00).
7.3.3 Performance of Replacements. (a) Borrower shall or shall cause Replacements to be made when required in order to keep each Individual Property in good order, condition and repair, and to keep each Individual Property or any portion thereof from deteriorating, ordinary wear and tear and casualty excepted. Borrower shall or shall cause all Replacements to be completed in a good and workmanlike manner as soon as practicable following the commencement of making each such Replacement.
-100-
(b) Lender reserves the right, at its option, to approve all contracts or work orders with materialmen, mechanics, suppliers, subcontractors, contractors or other parties providing labor or materials in connection with the Replacements (i) after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default or (ii) during a Cash Sweep Period, if the amounts under such contract shall equal or exceed $50,000.00. Upon Lenders request, Borrower shall assign any contract or subcontract to Lender.
(c) After the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, in the event Lender determines in its reasonable discretion that any Replacement is not being performed in a workmanlike or timely manner or that any Replacement has not been completed in a workmanlike or timely manner, Lender shall have the option to withhold disbursement for such unsatisfactory Replacement and to proceed under existing contracts or to contract with third parties to complete such Replacement and to apply the Replacement Reserve Fund toward the labor and materials necessary to complete such Replacement, without providing any prior notice to Borrower and to exercise any and all other remedies available to Lender upon an Event of Default hereunder.
(d) After the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, in order to facilitate Lenders completion or making of such Replacements pursuant to Section (c) above, Borrower grants Lender the right to enter onto any Individual Property and perform any and all work and labor necessary to complete or make such Replacements and/or employ watchmen to protect such Individual Property from damage. All sums so expended by Lender, to the extent not from the Replacement Reserve Fund, shall be deemed to have been advanced under the Loan to Borrower and secured by the Mortgages. For this purpose Borrower constitutes and appoints Lender its true and lawful attorney in fact with full power of substitution to complete or undertake such Replacements in the name of Borrower. Such power of attorney shall be deemed to be a power coupled with an interest and cannot be revoked. Borrower empowers said attorney in fact as follows: (i) to use any funds in the Replacement Reserve Account for the purpose of making or completing such Replacements; (ii) to make such additions, changes and corrections to such Replacements as shall be reasonably necessary or desirable to complete such Replacements; (iii) to employ such contractors, subcontractors, agents, architects and inspectors as shall be reasonably required for such purposes; (iv) to pay, settle or compromise all existing bills and claims which are or may become Liens against any Individual Property, or as may be reasonably necessary or desirable for the completion of such Replacements, or for clearance of title; (v) to execute all applications and certificates in the name of Borrower which may be reasonably required by any of the contract documents; (vi) to prosecute and defend all actions or proceedings in connection with any Individual Property or the rehabilitation and repair of any Individual Property; and (vii) to do any and every act which Borrower would reasonably be expected to do on its own behalf to fulfill the terms of this Agreement.
(e) Nothing in this Section 7.3.3 shall: (i) make Lender responsible for making or completing any Replacements; (ii) require Lender to expend funds in addition to the Replacement Reserve Fund to make or complete any Replacement; (iii) obligate Lender to proceed with any Replacements; or (iv) obligate Lender to demand from Borrower additional sums to make or complete any Replacement.
-101-
(f) Borrower shall permit Lender and Lenders agents and representatives (including, without limitation, Lenders engineer, architect, or inspector) or third parties making Replacements pursuant to this Section 7.3.3 to enter onto each Individual Property during normal business hours (subject to the rights of Tenants under their Leases) to inspect the progress of any Replacements and all materials being used in connection therewith, to examine all plans and shop drawings relating to such Replacements which are or may be kept at each Individual Property, and to complete any Replacements made pursuant to this Section 7.3.3. Borrower shall cause all contractors and subcontractors that provide goods or services in an amount exceeding $1,000,000 to cooperate with Lender or Lenders representatives or such other persons described above in connection with inspections described in this Section (f) or the completion of Replacements pursuant to this Section 7.3.3.
(g) Lender may require an inspection of the Individual Property at Borrowers expense prior to making a monthly disbursement from the Replacement Reserve Account in order to verify completion of the Replacements for which reimbursement is sought. Lender may require that such inspection be conducted by an appropriate independent qualified professional selected by Lender and/or may require a copy of a certificate of completion by an independent qualified professional acceptable to Lender prior to the disbursement of any amounts from the Replacement Reserve Account. Borrower shall pay the expense of the inspection as required hereunder, whether such inspection is conducted by Lender or by an independent qualified professional.
(h) The Replacements and all materials, equipment, fixtures, or any other item comprising a part of any Replacement shall be constructed, installed or completed, as applicable, free and clear of all mechanics, materialmens or other liens (except for those Liens existing on the date of this Agreement which have been approved in writing by Lender).
(i) Before each disbursement from the Replacement Reserve Account in excess of $500,000, Lender may require Borrower to provide Lender with a search of title to the applicable Individual Property effective to the date of the disbursement, which search shows that no mechanics or materialmens liens or other liens of any nature have been placed against the applicable Individual Property since the date of recordation of the related Mortgage and that title to the applicable Individual Property is free and clear of all Liens (other than the lien of the related Mortgage and any other Liens previously approved in writing by Lender, if any).
(j) All Replacements shall comply with all applicable Legal Requirements of all Governmental Authorities having jurisdiction over the applicable Individual Property and applicable insurance requirements including, without limitation, applicable building codes, special use permits, environmental regulations, and requirements of insurance underwriters.
(k) In addition to any insurance required under the Loan Documents, Borrower shall provide or cause to be provided workmens compensation insurance, builders risk, and public liability insurance and other insurance to the extent required under applicable law in connection with a particular Replacement. All such policies shall be in form and amount reasonably satisfactory to Lender. All such policies which can be endorsed with standard mortgagee clauses making loss payable to Lender or its assigns shall be so endorsed. Certified copies of such policies shall be delivered to Lender.
-102-
7.3.4 Replacement Reserve Fund. (a) Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, Lender may use the Replacement Reserve Fund (or any portion thereof) for any purpose, including but not limited to completion of the Replacements as provided in Section 7.3.3, or for any other repair or replacement to any Individual Property or toward payment of the Debt in such order, proportion and priority as Lender may determine in its sole discretion. Lenders right to withdraw and apply the Replacement Reserve Funds shall be in addition to all other rights and remedies provided to Lender under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.
(b) Nothing in this Agreement shall obligate Lender to apply all or any portion of the Replacement Reserve Fund on account of an Event of Default to payment of the Debt or in any specific order or priority.
7.3.5 Balance in the Replacement Reserve Account. The insufficiency of any balance in the Replacement Reserve Account shall not relieve Borrower from its obligation to fulfill all preservation and maintenance covenants in the Loan Documents.
Section 7.4 Intentionally Omitted.
Section 7.5 Ground Lease Reserve.
7.5.1 Deposits to Ground Lease Fund. On each Payment Date after the Closing Date, Borrower shall pay to Lender one-twelfth of the rents (including both base and additional rents) and other charges due under each Ground Lease that Lender estimates will be payable by the applicable Individual Borrower as lessee under the related Ground Lease (collectively, the Ground Rent) during the next ensuing twelve (12) months in order to accumulate with Lender sufficient funds to pay all such Ground Rent at least thirty (30) days prior to the respective due dates. In addition, on the Closing Date, Borrower shall pay to Lender an amount equal to any Ground Rent payable and outstanding under any Ground Lease within thirty (30) days of the first Payment Date, provided, that no such initial deposit is required to be made on the Closing Date. Amounts so deposited shall hereinafter be referred to as the Ground Lease Reserve Fund and the account in which such amounts are held shall hereinafter be referred to as the Ground Lease Reserve Account. The requirement to deposit the monthly deposit for Ground Rent for any Individual Property required under this Section 7.5.1 shall be waived for each such month, so long as (i) Borrower provides Lender evidence reasonably satisfactory to Lender that an amount equal to the Ground Rent is being paid directly by Loan Party and Loan Party is not in default beyond applicable notice and cure periods under the applicable Ground Lease and (ii) no Event of Default is continuing and no Cash Sweep Period is continuing.
7.5.2 Release of Ground Lease Reserve Fund. Lender shall apply amounts in the Ground Lease Reserve Fund to the payment of the Ground Rent. In making any payment relating to the Ground Rent, Lender may do so according to any bill, statement or estimate procured from the Ground Lessor under each Ground Lease, without inquiry into the accuracy of such bill, statement or estimate. Upon the reasonable request of Borrower, Lender shall deliver to Borrower a copy of any such bill, statement or estimate (provided that any failure by Lender to deliver any such bill, statement or estimate shall not constitute a default hereunder). If the
-103-
amount of Ground Lease Reserve Funds shall exceed the amounts due for the Ground Rent under each Ground Lease for the immediately succeeding twelve (12) months as determined by Lender, Lender shall, in its sole discretion, return any excess to Borrower or credit such excess against future payments to be made to the Ground Lease Reserve Fund. Any amounts remaining in the Ground Lease Reserve Fund after the Debt has been paid in full shall be returned to Borrower. If at any time Lender reasonably determines that the Ground Lease Reserve Fund is not or will not be sufficient to pay the Ground Rent by the dates set forth above, Lender shall notify Borrower of such determination and Borrower shall increase its monthly payments to Lender by the amount that Lender estimates is sufficient to make up the deficiency at least thirty (30) days prior to the due date of the Ground Rent.
Section 7.6 Excess Cash Flow Reserve Fund.
7.6.1 Deposits to Excess Cash Flow Reserve Fund. During a Cash Sweep Period, Borrower shall deposit with Lender all Excess Cash Flow in the Cash Management Account, which shall be held by Lender as additional security for the Loan and amounts so held shall be hereinafter referred to as the Excess Cash Flow Reserve Fund and the account to which such amounts are held shall hereinafter be referred to as the Excess Cash Flow Reserve Account.
7.6.2 Release of Excess Cash Flow Reserve Funds. Upon the occurrence of a Cash Sweep Event Cure, all Excess Cash Flow Reserve Funds shall be deposited into the Cash Management Account to be disbursed in accordance with the Cash Management Agreement. Any Excess Cash Flow Reserve Funds remaining after the Debt has been paid in full shall be paid to Borrower.
Section 7.7 Reserve Funds, Generally. (a) Borrower grants to Lender a first-priority perfected security interest in each of the Reserve Funds and any and all monies now or hereafter deposited in each Reserve Fund as additional security for payment of the Debt. Until expended or applied in accordance herewith, the Reserve Funds shall constitute additional security for the Debt.
(b) Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, Lender may, in addition to any and all other rights and remedies available to Lender, apply any sums then present in any or all of the Reserve Funds to the payment of the Debt in any order in its sole discretion.
(c) The Reserve Funds shall not constitute trust funds and may be commingled with other monies held by Lender. The Reserve Funds shall be held in an Eligible Account in Permitted Investments as directed by Lender or Lenders Servicer. Unless expressly provided for in this Article VII, all interest on a Reserve Fund shall be added to and become a part thereof. Borrower shall be responsible for payment of any federal, state or local income or other tax applicable to the interest earned on the Reserve Funds credited or paid to Borrower.
(d) Borrower shall not, without obtaining the prior written consent of Lender, further pledge, assign or grant any security interest in any Reserve Fund or the monies deposited therein or permit any lien or encumbrance to attach thereto, or any levy to be made thereon, or any UCC-1 Financing Statements, except those naming Lender as the secured party, to be filed with respect thereto.
-104-
(e) Lender and Servicer shall not be liable for any loss sustained on the investment of any funds constituting the Reserve Funds. Borrower shall indemnify Lender and Servicer and hold Lender and Servicer harmless from and against any and all actions, suits, claims, demands, liabilities, losses, damages, obligations and costs and expenses (including litigation costs and reasonable attorneys fees and expenses) arising from or in any way connected with the Reserve Funds or the performance of the obligations for which the Reserve Funds were established. Borrower shall assign to Lender all rights and claims Borrower may have against all persons or entities supplying labor, materials or other services which are to be paid from or secured by the Reserve Funds; provided, however, that Lender may not pursue any such right or claim unless an Event of Default has occurred and remains uncured.
(f) The required monthly deposits into the Reserve Funds and the Monthly Debt Service Payment Amount, shall be added together and shall be paid as an aggregate sum by Borrower to Lender.
(g) Any amount remaining in the Reserve Funds after the Debt has been paid in full shall be paid (A) if any portion of the Mezzanine Loan Debt (other than any contingent liabilities that survive repayment of the debt under the Mezzanine Loan Documents) is then outstanding, to Mezzanine Lender, (B) if no portion of the Mezzanine Loan Debt (other than any contingent liabilities that survive repayment of the debt under the Mezzanine Loan Documents), to Borrower.

Section 8.2 Remedies. (a) Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, all or any one or more of the rights, powers, privileges and other remedies available to Lender against Borrower and any other Loan Party under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents executed and delivered by, or applicable to, Borrower and any other Loan Party or at law or in equity may be exercised by Lender at any time and from time to time, whether or not all or any of the Debt shall be declared due and payable, and whether or not Lender shall have commenced any foreclosure proceeding or other action for the enforcement of its rights and remedies under any of the Loan Documents with respect to all or any part of any Individual Property. Any such actions taken by Lender shall be cumulative and concurrent and may be pursued independently, singularly, successively, together or otherwise, at such time and in such order as Lender may determine in its sole discretion, to the fullest extent permitted by law, without impairing or otherwise affecting the other rights and remedies of Lender permitted by law, equity or contract or as set forth herein or in the other Loan Documents. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Borrower and each other Loan Party agrees that if an Event of Default is continuing (i) Lender is not subject to any one action or election of remedies law or rule, and (ii) all liens and other rights, remedies or privileges provided to Lender shall remain in full force and effect until Lender has exhausted all of its remedies against the Properties and each Mortgage has been foreclosed, sold and/or otherwise realized upon in satisfaction of the Debt or the Debt has been paid in full.
(b) With respect to Borrower and each other Loan Party and the Properties, nothing contained herein or in any other Loan Document shall be construed as requiring Lender to resort to any Individual Property for the satisfaction of any of the Debt in any preference or priority to any other Individual Property, and Lender may seek satisfaction out of all of the Properties, or any part thereof, in its absolute discretion in respect of the Debt. In addition, Lender shall have the right from time to time to partially foreclose the Mortgages in any manner and for any amounts secured by the Mortgages then due and payable as determined by Lender in its sole discretion including, without limitation, the following circumstances: (i) in the event Borrower and any other Loan Party defaults beyond any applicable grace period in the payment of one or more scheduled payments of principal and interest, Lender may foreclose one or more of the Mortgages to recover such delinquent payments or (ii) in the event Lender elects to accelerate less than the entire outstanding principal balance of the Loan, Lender may foreclose one or more of the Mortgages to recover so much of the principal balance of the Loan as Lender may accelerate and such other sums secured by the Mortgages as Lender may elect. Notwithstanding one or more partial foreclosures, the remaining Properties shall remain subject to the Mortgages to secure payment of sums secured by the Mortgages and not previously recovered.
(c) Lender shall have the right from time to time to sever the Note and the other Loan Documents into one or more separate notes, mortgages and other security documents (the Severed Loan Documents) in such denominations as Lender shall determine in its sole discretion for purposes of evidencing and enforcing its rights and remedies provided hereunder. Borrower and each other Loan Party shall execute and deliver to Lender from time to time, promptly after the request of Lender, a severance agreement and such other documents as Lender shall request in order to effect the severance described in the preceding sentence, all in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Lender. Following the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, Borrower and each other Loan Party hereby absolutely and irrevocably appoints Lender as its true and lawful attorney, coupled with an interest, in its name and stead to make and execute all documents necessary or desirable to effect the aforesaid severance, Borrower and each other Loan Party ratifying all that its said attorney shall do by
-109-
virtue thereof; provided, however, Lender shall not make or execute any such documents under such power until three (3) days after notice has been given to Borrower by Lender of Lenders intent to exercise its rights under such power. Borrower shall be obligated to pay any costs or expenses incurred in connection with the preparation, execution, recording or filing of the Severed Loan Documents and the Severed Loan Documents shall not contain any representations, warranties or covenants not contained in the Loan Documents and any such representations and warranties contained in the Severed Loan Documents will be given by Borrower only as of the Closing Date.
(d) As used in this Section 8.2, a foreclosure shall include, without limitation, any sale by power of sale.
Section 8.3 Remedies Cumulative; Waivers. The rights, powers and remedies of Lender under this Agreement shall be cumulative and not exclusive of any other right, power or remedy which Lender may have against Borrower and any other Loan Party pursuant to this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, or existing at law or in equity or otherwise. Lenders rights, powers and remedies may be pursued singularly, concurrently or otherwise, at such time and in such order as Lender may determine in Lenders sole discretion. No delay or omission to exercise any remedy, right or power accruing upon an Event of Default shall impair any such remedy, right or power or shall be construed as a waiver thereof, but any such remedy, right or power may be exercised from time to time and as often as may be deemed expedient. A waiver of one Default or Event of Default with respect to Borrower or any other Loan Party shall not be construed to be a waiver of any subsequent Default or Event of Default by Borrower or any other Loan Party or to impair any remedy, right or power consequent thereon.

In particular, and not by way of limitation, by accepting payment after the due date of any amount payable under
-119-

Section 10.8 Headings. The Article and/or Section headings and the Table of Contents in this Agreement are included herein for convenience of reference only and shall not constitute a part of this Agreement for any other purpose.
Section 10.9 Severability. Wherever possible, each provision of this Agreement shall be interpreted in such manner as to be effective and valid under applicable law, but if any provision of this Agreement shall be prohibited by or invalid under applicable law, such provision shall be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or invalidity, without invalidating the remainder of such provision or the remaining provisions of this Agreement.

To the extent Borrower makes a payment or payments to Lender, which payment or proceeds or any part thereof are subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside or required to be repaid to a trustee, receiver or any other party under any bankruptcy law, state or federal law, common law or equitable cause, then, Lender shall have the continuing and exclusive right to apply or reverse and reapply any and all payments by Borrower to any portion of the obligations of Borrower hereunder to the extent of such payment or proceeds received, the obligations hereunder or part thereof intended to be satisfied shall be revived and continue in full force and effect, as if such payment or proceeds had not been received by Lender.
-121-
Section 10.11 Waiver of Notice. No Loan Party shall be entitled to any notices of any nature whatsoever from Lender except with respect to matters for which this Agreement or the other Loan Documents specifically and expressly provide for the giving of notice by Lender to Borrower or such other Loan Party and except with respect to matters for which a Loan Party is not, pursuant to applicable Legal Requirements, permitted to waive the giving of notice. Each Loan Party hereby expressly waives the right to receive any notice from Lender with respect to any matter for which this Agreement or the other Loan Documents do not specifically and expressly provide for the giving of notice by Lender to such other Loan Party.
Section 10.12 Remedies of Borrower. In the event that a claim or adjudication is made that Lender or its agents have acted unreasonably or unreasonably delayed acting in any case where by law or under this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, Lender or such agent, as the case may be, has an obligation to act reasonably or promptly, each Loan Party agrees that neither Lender nor its agents shall be liable for any monetary damages, and each Loan Partys sole remedies shall be limited to commencing an action seeking injunctive relief or declaratory judgment. The parties hereto agree that any action or proceeding to determine whether Lender has acted reasonably shall be determined by an action seeking declaratory judgment.
Section 10.13 Expenses; Indemnity. (a) Borrower covenants and agrees to pay or, if Borrower fails to pay, to reimburse, Lender upon receipt of written notice from Lender for all reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys fees and expenses) incurred by Lender in connection with (i) the preparation, negotiation, execution and delivery of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby and all the costs of furnishing all opinions by counsel for each Loan Party (including without limitation any opinions requested by Lender as to any legal matters arising under this Agreement or the other Loan Documents with respect to the Properties); provided that Borrower shall not be required to pay for costs and expenses incurred by Lender in connection with a Secondary Market Transaction; (ii) each Loan Partys ongoing performance of and compliance with each Loan Partys respective agreements and covenants contained in this Agreement and the other Loan Documents on its part to be performed or complied with after the Closing Date, including, without limitation, confirming compliance with environmental and insurance requirements; (iii) Lenders ongoing performance and compliance with all agreements and conditions contained in this Agreement and the other Loan Documents on its part to be performed or complied with after the Closing Date; (iv) the negotiation, preparation, execution, delivery and administration of any consents, amendments, waivers or other modifications to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and any other documents or matters requested by any Loan Party; (v) securing each Loan Partys compliance with any requests made pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement; (vi) the filing and recording fees and expenses, title insurance and fees and expenses of counsel for providing to Lender all required legal opinions, and other similar expenses incurred in creating and perfecting the Liens in favor of Lender pursuant to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents; (vii) enforcing or preserving any rights, in response to third party claims or the prosecuting or defending of any action or proceeding or other litigation, in each case against, under or affecting any Loan Party, this Agreement, the other Loan Documents, the Properties, or any other security given for the Loan; and (viii) enforcing any obligations of or collecting any payments due from any Loan Party under this Agreement, the other Loan Documents or with respect to the Properties
-122-
(including, without limitation, any fees and expenses incurred by or payable to Servicer or a trustee in connection with the transfer of the Loan to a special servicer upon Servicers anticipation of a Default or Event of Default, liquidation fees, workout fees, special servicing fees, operating advisor fees or any other similar fees and interest payable on advances made by the Servicer with respect to delinquent debt service payments or expenses of curing any Loan Partys defaults under the Loan Documents) or in connection with any refinancing or restructuring of the credit arrangements provided under this Agreement in the nature of a work out or of any insolvency or bankruptcy proceedings or any other amounts required under Section 9.5; provided, however, that no Loan Party shall be liable for the payment of any such costs and expenses to the extent the same arise by reason of the gross negligence, illegal acts, fraud or willful misconduct of Lender. Any cost and expenses due and payable to Lender may be paid from any amounts in the Lockbox Account or Cash Management Account, as applicable.
(b) Each Loan Party shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless the Indemnified Parties from and against any and all other liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, claims, costs, expenses and disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever (including, without limitation, the reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel in connection with any investigative, administrative or judicial proceeding commenced or threatened, whether or not an Indemnified Party shall be designated a party thereto), that may be imposed on, incurred by, or asserted against any Indemnified Party in any manner relating to or arising out of (i) any breach by any Loan Party of its obligations under, or any material misrepresentation by any Loan Party contained in, this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, or (ii) the use or intended use of the proceeds of the Loan (collectively, the Indemnified Liabilities); provided, however, that Borrower shall not have any obligation to any Indemnified Party hereunder to the extent that such Indemnified Liabilities arise from the gross negligence, illegal acts, fraud or willful misconduct of such Indemnified Party. To the extent that the undertaking to indemnify, defend and hold harmless set forth in the preceding sentence may be unenforceable because it violates any law or public policy, Loan Party shall pay the maximum portion that it is permitted to pay and satisfy under applicable law to the payment and satisfaction of all Indemnified Liabilities incurred by the Indemnified Parties.
Section 10.14 Schedules Incorporated. The Schedules annexed hereto are hereby incorporated herein as a part of this Agreement with the same effect as if set forth in the body hereof.
Section 10.15 Offsets, Counterclaims and Defenses. Any assignee of Lenders interest in and to this Agreement, the Note and the other Loan Documents shall take the same free and clear of all offsets, counterclaims or defenses which are unrelated to such documents which any Loan Party may otherwise have against any assignor of such documents, and no such unrelated counterclaim or defense shall be interposed or asserted by any Loan Party in any action or proceeding brought by any such assignee upon such documents and any such right to interpose or assert any such unrelated offset, counterclaim or defense in any such action or proceeding is hereby expressly waived by such Loan Party.
-123-
Section 10.16 No Joint Venture or Partnership; No Third Party Beneficiaries. (a) Each Loan Party and Lender intend that the relationships created hereunder and under the other Loan Documents be solely that of borrower and lender. Nothing herein or therein is intended to create a joint venture, partnership, tenancy in common, or joint tenancy relationship between any Loan Party and Lender nor to grant Lender any interest in the Properties other than that of mortgagee, beneficiary or lender. (b) This Agreement and the other Loan Documents are solely for the benefit of Lender and each Loan Party and nothing contained in this Agreement or the other Loan Documents shall be deemed to confer upon anyone other than Lender and each Loan Party any right to insist upon or to enforce the performance or observance of any of the obligations contained herein or therein. All conditions to the obligations of Lender to make the Loan hereunder are imposed solely and exclusively for the benefit of Lender and no other Person shall have standing to require satisfaction of such conditions in accordance with their terms or be entitled to assume that Lender will refuse to make the Loan in the absence of strict compliance with any or all thereof and no other Person shall under any circumstances be deemed to be a beneficiary of such conditions, any or all of which may be freely waived in whole or in part by Lender if, in Lenders sole discretion, Lender deems it advisable or desirable to do so.
Section 10.17 Publicity. All news releases, publicity or advertising by any Loan Party or its Affiliates through any media intended to reach the general public which refers to the Loan Documents or the financing evidenced by the Loan Documents, to Lender, JPMorgan Chase Bank, National Association, or any of their Affiliates shall be subject to the prior written approval of Lender and JPMorgan Chase Bank, National Association in their sole discretion; provided, that the foregoing shall not include any filings which may be required with Governmental Authorities and financial or regulatory authorities which shall not be subject to the foregoing. No news release, publicity or advertising intended to reach the general public shall contain the name of Fortress Investment Group or any Affiliate thereof, or any part thereof, without the prior written consent of Borrower, provided that, Lender is expressly permitted hereunder, and no consent of Borrower or any other Person shall be required with respect to, Lenders use of the name Fortress Investment Group or any Affiliate thereof, or any part thereof in connection with only one or more Secondary Market Transactions of all or any part of the Loan and with Lenders reasonable and customary marketing activities that are a part of any such Secondary Market Transaction.
Section 10.18 Cross Default; Cross Collateralization; Waiver of Marshalling of Assets. (a) Each Loan Party acknowledges that Lender has made the Loan to Borrower upon the security of its collective interest in the Properties and in reliance upon the aggregate of the Properties taken together being of greater value as collateral security than the sum of each Individual Property taken separately. Each Loan Party agrees that the Mortgages are and will be cross-collateralized and cross-defaulted with each other so that (i) an Event of Default under any of the Mortgages shall constitute an Event of Default under each of the other Mortgages which secure the Note; (ii) an Event of Default under the Note or this Agreement shall constitute an Event of Default under each Mortgage; (iii) each Mortgage shall constitute security for the Note as if a single blanket lien were placed on all of the Properties as security for the Note; and (iv) such cross-collateralization shall in no event be deemed to constitute a fraudulent conveyance.
-124-
(b) To the fullest extent permitted by law, each Loan Party, for itself and its successors and assigns, waives all rights to a marshalling of the assets of such Loan Party, such Loan Partys partners and others with interests in such Loan Party, and of the Properties, or to a sale in inverse order of alienation in the event of foreclosure of all or any of the Mortgages, and agrees not to assert any right under any laws pertaining to the marshalling of assets, the sale in inverse order of alienation, homestead exemption, the administration of estates of decedents, or any other matters whatsoever to defeat, reduce or affect the right of Lender under the Loan Documents to a sale of the Properties for the collection of the Debt without any prior or different resort for collection or of the right of Lender to the payment of the Debt out of the net proceeds of the Properties in preference to every other claimant whatsoever. In addition, each Loan Party, for itself and its successors and assigns, waives in the event of foreclosure of any or all of the Mortgages, any equitable right otherwise available to Borrower which would require the separate sale of the Properties or require Lender to exhaust its remedies against any Individual Property or any combination of the Properties before proceeding against any other Individual Property or combination of Properties; and further in the event of such foreclosure each Loan Party does hereby expressly consents to and authorizes, at the option of Lender, the foreclosure and sale either separately or together of any combination of the Properties.
Section 10.19 Waiver of Counterclaim. Each Loan Party 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.
Section 10.20 Conflict; Construction of Documents; Reliance. In the event of any conflict between the provisions of this Agreement and any of the other Loan Documents, the provisions of this Agreement shall control. The parties hereto acknowledge that they were represented by competent counsel in connection with the negotiation, drafting and execution of the Loan Documents and that such Loan Documents shall not be subject to the principle of construing their meaning against the party which drafted same. Each Loan Party acknowledges that, with respect to the Loan, it shall rely solely on its own judgment and advisors in entering into the Loan without relying in any manner on any statements, representations or recommendations of Lender or any parent, subsidiary or Affiliate of Lender. Lender shall not be subject to any limitation whatsoever in the exercise of any rights or remedies available to it under any of the Loan Documents or any other agreements or instruments which govern the Loan by virtue of the ownership by it or any parent, subsidiary or Affiliate of Lender of any equity interest any of them may acquire in any Loan Party, and each Loan Party hereby irrevocably waives the right to raise any defense or take any action on the basis of the foregoing with respect to Lenders exercise of any such rights or remedies. Each Loan Party acknowledges that Lender engages in the business of real estate financings and other real estate transactions and investments which may be viewed as adverse to or competitive with the business of each Loan Party or its Affiliates.
Section 10.21 Brokers and Financial Advisors. Each Loan Party hereby represents that it has dealt with no financial advisors, brokers, underwriters, placement agents, agents or finders in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. Each Loan Party hereby agrees to indemnify, defend and hold Lender harmless from and against any and all claims, liabilities, costs and expenses of any kind (including Lenders attorneys fees and expenses) in any way relating to or arising from a claim by any Person that such Person acted on behalf of any Loan Party or Lender in connection with the transactions contemplated herein. The provisions of this Section 10.21 shall survive the expiration and termination of this Agreement and the payment of the Debt.
-125-
Section 10.22 Prior Agreements. This Agreement and the other Loan Documents contain the entire agreement of the parties hereto and thereto in respect of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby, and all prior agreements among or between such parties, whether oral or written, between any Loan Party and Lender are superseded by the terms of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.
Section 10.23 Joint and Several Liability. If Borrower consists of more than one (1) Person the obligations and liabilities of each of the entities comprising the Borrower shall be joint and several. If Operating Lessee consists of more than one (1) Person the obligations and liabilities of each of the entities comprising Operating Lessee shall be joint and several. If OpCo Manager consists of more than one (1) Person the obligations and liabilities of each of the entities comprising the OpCo Manager shall be joint and several.
Section 10.24 Certain Additional Rights of Lender (VCOC). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, Lender shall have:
(a) the right to routinely consult with and advise Borrowers 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. Consultation meetings should occur on a regular basis (no less frequently than quarterly) with Lender having the right to call special meetings at any reasonable times and upon reasonable advance notice;
(b) the right, upon not less than fifteen (15) Business Days prior written notice to the Loan Parties in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, to examine the books and records of the Loan Parties at any reasonable times during business hours but no more than one (1) time during any calendar year; provided that any such examination shall be conducted so as not to unreasonably interfere with the business of Borrower, Master Tenant and each Operator or any Tenants or other occupants of any Individual Property;
(c) the right, in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, including, without limitation, Section 5.1.11 hereof, to receive monthly, quarterly and year-end financial reports, including balance sheets, statements of income, shareholders equity and cash flow, a management report and schedules of outstanding indebtedness; and
(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 Property).
The rights described above in this Section 10.24 may be exercised by any entity which owns and controls, directly or indirectly, substantially all of the interests in Lender.
Section 10.25 Acknowledgement and Consent to Bail-In of EEA Financial Institutions. (a) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in any Loan Document or in any other agreement, arrangement or understanding among the respective parties thereto, each party hereto acknowledges that any liability of any EEA Financial Institution arising under any Loan Document, to the extent such liability is unsecured, may be subject to the write-down and conversion powers of an EEA Resolution Authority and agrees and consents to, and acknowledges and agrees to be bound by:
-126-
(i) the application of any Write-Down and Conversion Powers by an EEA Resolution Authority to any such liabilities arising hereunder which may be payable to it by any party hereto that is an EEA Financial Institution; and
(ii) the effects of any Bail-in Action on any such liability, including, if applicable:

(B) a conversion of all, or a portion of, such liability into shares or other instruments of ownership in such EEA Financial Institution, its parent undertaking, or a bridge institution that may be issued to it or otherwise conferred on it, and that such shares or other instruments of ownership will be accepted by it in lieu of any rights with respect to any such liability under this Agreement or any other Loan Document; or
(iii) the variation of the terms of such liability in connection with the exercise of the write-down and conversion powers of any EEA Resolution Authority.

(c) If at any time Lender has determined in good faith (which determination shall be conclusive and binding upon Borrower absent manifest error) that the LIBOR Rate Index has been succeeded by an Alternate Rate Index, the Loan shall be converted from a LIBOR Rate Loan to an Alternate Rate Loan bearing interest based on the Alternate Rate in effect on the related Determination Date, provided that the same does not violate applicable law. Lender may exercise the foregoing conversion right by giving notice of such determination in writing to Borrower at least one (1) Business Day prior to any Determination Date Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, in no event shall (i) Borrower have the right to convert the Loan to a Prime Rate Loan or an Alternate Rate Loan, (ii) Borrower have the right to convert a LIBOR Rate Loan to an Alternate Rate Loan, or to convert an Alternate Rate Loan to a LIBOR Rate Loan or a Prime Rate Loan, (iii) the Prime Rate be less than the LIBOR Rate Floor plus the LIBOR Rate Spread as of the Closing Date, or (iv) the Alternate Rate be less than the LIBOR Rate Floor plus the LIBOR Rate Spread as of the Closing Date.

(e) In the event that any change in any requirement of law or in the interpretation or application thereof, or compliance by Lender with any request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) hereafter issued from any central bank or other Governmental Authority:
(i) shall hereafter impose, modify or hold applicable any reserve, special deposit, compulsory loan or similar requirement against assets held by, or deposits or other liabilities in or for the account of, advances or loans by, or other credit extended by, or any other acquisition of funds by, any office of Lender which is not otherwise included in the determination of the LIBOR Rate Index, the Prime Rate Index or the Alternate Rate Index hereunder;
-40-
(ii) shall hereafter have the effect of reducing the rate of return on Lenders capital as a consequence of its obligations hereunder to a level below that which Lender could have achieved but for such adoption, change or compliance (taking into consideration Lenders policies with respect to capital adequacy) by any amount deemed by Lender to be material;
(iii) shall hereafter subject Lender to any Section 2.7 Taxes (other than (A) Indemnified Taxes, (B) Section 2.7 Taxes described in clauses (b) through (d) of the definition of Excluded Taxes and (C) Connection Income Taxes) on its loans, loan principal, letters of credit, commitments, or other obligations, or its deposits, reserves, other liabilities or capital attributable thereto; or
(iv) shall hereafter impose on Lender any other condition (other than Section 2.7 Taxes);

If Lender becomes entitled to claim any additional amounts pursuant to this Section 2.2.3(e), Lender shall provide Borrower with not less than thirty (30) days written notice specifying in reasonable detail the event by reason of which it has become so entitled and the additional amount required to fully compensate Lender for such additional cost or reduced amount.

This provision shall survive payment of the Note in full and the satisfaction of all other obligations of Borrower under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.
2.2.4 Additional Costs. Lender will use reasonable efforts (consistent with legal and regulatory restrictions) to maintain the availability of the LIBOR Rate Loan and to avoid or reduce any increased or additional costs payable by Borrower under Section 2.2.3, including, if requested by Borrower, a transfer or assignment of the Loan to a branch, office or Affiliate of Lender in another jurisdiction, or a redesignation of its lending office with respect to the Loan, in order to maintain the availability of the LIBOR Rate Loan or to avoid or reduce such increased or additional costs, provided that the transfer or assignment or redesignation (a) would not result in any additional costs, expenses or risk to Lender that are not reimbursed by Borrower and (b) would not be disadvantageous in any other respect to Lender as determined by Lender in its reasonable discretion.
2.2.5 Default Rate.

2.2.6 Usury Savings. This Agreement, the Note and the other Loan Documents are subject to the express condition that at no time shall Borrower be obligated or required to pay interest on the principal balance of the Loan at a rate which could subject Lender to either civil or criminal liability as a result of being in excess of the Maximum Legal Rate. If, by the terms of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, Borrower is at any time required or obligated to pay interest on the principal balance due hereunder at a rate in excess of the Maximum Legal Rate, the Interest Rate or the Default Rate, as the case may be, shall be deemed to be immediately reduced to the Maximum Legal Rate and all previous payments in excess of the Maximum Legal Rate shall be deemed to have been payments in reduction of principal and not on account of the interest due hereunder. All sums paid or agreed to be paid to Lender for the use, forbearance, or detention of the sums due under the Loan, shall, to the extent permitted by applicable law, be amortized, prorated, allocated, and spread throughout the full stated term of the Loan until payment in full so that the rate or amount of interest on account of the Loan does not exceed the Maximum Legal Rate of interest from time to time in effect and applicable to the Loan for so long as the Loan is outstanding.
2.2.7 Interest Rate Cap Agreement. (a) Prior to or contemporaneously with the Closing Date, Borrower (or an Individual Borrower on behalf of and for the benefit of Borrower (such Individual Borrower, the IR Cap Borrower)) shall enter into an Interest Rate Cap Agreement with a LIBOR strike price equal to the Strike Price.

(e) In connection with the Interest Rate Cap Agreement, Borrower shall obtain and deliver to Lender (a) a resolution/consent, as applicable, of the Acceptable Counterparty authorizing the delivery of the Interest Rate Cap Agreement acceptable to Lender, and (b) an opinion from counsel (which counsel may be in-house counsel for the Acceptable Counterparty) for the Acceptable Counterparty (upon which Lender and its successors and assigns may rely) which shall provide, in relevant part, that:
(i) the Acceptable Counterparty is duly organized, validly existing, and in good standing under the laws of its jurisdiction of incorporation or formation and has the organizational power and authority to execute and deliver, and to perform its obligations under, the Interest Rate Cap Agreement;
-43-
(ii) the execution and delivery of the Interest Rate Cap Agreement by the Acceptable Counterparty, and any other agreement which the Acceptable Counterparty has executed and delivered pursuant thereto, and the performance of its obligations thereunder have been and remain duly authorized by all necessary action and do not contravene any provision of its certificate of incorporation or by-laws (or equivalent organizational documents) or any law, regulation or contractual restriction binding on or affecting it or its property;
(iii) all consents, authorizations and approvals required for the execution and delivery by the Acceptable Counterparty of the Interest Rate Cap Agreement, and any other agreement which the Acceptable Counterparty has executed and delivered pursuant thereto, and the performance of its obligations thereunder have been obtained and remain in full force and effect, all conditions thereof have been duly complied with, and no other action by, and no notice to or filing with any governmental authority or regulatory body is required for such execution, delivery or performance; and

(g) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 2.2.7 or elsewhere in this Agreement, if, at any time, Lender converts the Loan to either a Prime Rate Loan or an Alternate Rate Loan in accordance with Section 2.2.3 above (each, a Rate Conversion), then within thirty (30) days after such Rate Conversion, Borrower shall enter into, make all payments under, and satisfy all conditions precedent to the effectiveness of, a Substitute Interest Rate Cap Agreement (and in connection therewith, but not prior to Borrower taking all the actions described in this clause (i), Borrower shall have the right to terminate any then-existing Interest Rate Cap Agreement).

-54-
(D) if a payment made to a Lender under any Loan Document would be subject to U.S. federal withholding tax imposed by FATCA if such Lender were to fail to comply with the applicable reporting requirements of FATCA (including those contained in Section 1471(b) or 1472(b) of the Code, as applicable), such Lender shall deliver to the Borrower at the time or times prescribed by law and at such time or times reasonably requested by the Borrower such documentation prescribed by applicable law (including as prescribed by Section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of the Code) and such additional documentation reasonably requested by the Borrower as may be necessary for the Borrower to comply with their obligations under FATCA and to determine that such Lender has complied with such Lenders obligations under FATCA or to determine the amount to deduct and withhold from such payment.

Such indemnifying party, upon the request of such indemnified party, shall repay to such indemnified party the amount paid over pursuant to this paragraph (f) (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) in the event that such indemnified party is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this paragraph (f), in no event will the indemnified party be required to pay any amount to an indemnifying party pursuant to this paragraph (f) the payment of which would place the indemnified party in a less favorable net after-tax position than the indemnified party would have been in if the Section 2.7 Tax subject to indemnification and giving rise to such refund had not been deducted, withheld or otherwise imposed and the indemnification payments or additional amounts with respect to such Section 2.7 Tax had never been paid. This paragraph shall not be construed to require any indemnified party to make available its tax returns (or any other information relating to its Section 2.7 Taxes that it deems confidential) to the indemnifying party or any other Person.
(g) Survival. Each partys obligations under this Section 2.7 shall survive any assignment of rights by, or the replacement of, a Lender and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all obligations under any Loan Document.

Each Loan Party has good, marketable title to the Collateral it owns, free and clear of all Liens whatsoever except the Permitted Encumbrances, such other Liens as are permitted pursuant to the Loan Documents and the Liens created by the Loan Documents.

Each Mortgage, when properly recorded in the appropriate records, together with any Uniform Commercial Code financing statements required to be filed in connection therewith, will create (a) a valid, perfected first priority lien on the applicable Individual Property, subject only to Permitted Encumbrances and the Liens created by the Loan Documents and (b) perfected security interests in and to, and perfected collateral assignments of, all personalty (including the Leases), all in accordance with the terms thereof, in each case subject only to any applicable Permitted Encumbrances, such other Liens as are permitted pursuant to the Mortgage Loan Documents and the Liens created by the Mortgage Loan Documents.

Each Loan Party has (a) not entered into this transaction or executed the Note, this Agreement or any other Loan Documents with the actual intent to hinder, delay or defraud any creditor and (b) received reasonably equivalent value in exchange for its obligations under such Loan Documents. Giving effect to the Loan, the fair saleable value of each Loan Partys assets exceeds and will, immediately following the making of the Loan, exceed each Loan Partys total liabilities, including, without limitation, subordinated, unliquidated, disputed and contingent liabilities. The fair saleable value of each Loan Partys assets is and will, immediately following the making of the Loan, be greater than each Loan Partys probable liabilities, including the maximum amount of its contingent liabilities on its debts as such debts become absolute and matured. Each Loan Partys assets do not and, immediately following the making of the Loan will not, constitute unreasonably small capital to carry out its business as conducted or as proposed to be conducted. No Loan Party intends to, and does not believe that it will, incur debt and liabilities (including contingent liabilities and other commitments) beyond its ability to pay such debt and liabilities as they mature (taking into account the timing and amounts of cash to be received by each Loan Party and the amounts to be payable on or in respect of obligations of each Loan Party).

4.1.8 Full and Accurate Disclosure. No statement of fact made by any Loan Party in this Agreement or in any of the other Loan Documents contains any untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state any material fact necessary to make statements contained herein or therein not misleading.

Section 8.2 Remedies. (a) Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, all or any one or more of the rights, powers, privileges and other remedies available to Lender against Borrower and any other Loan Party under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents executed and delivered by, or applicable to, Borrower and any other Loan Party or at law or in equity may be exercised by Lender at any time and from time to time, whether or not all or any of the Debt shall be declared due and payable, and whether or not Lender shall have commenced any foreclosure proceeding or other action for the enforcement of its rights and remedies under any of the Loan Documents with respect to all or any part of any of the Collateral. Any such actions taken by Lender shall be cumulative and concurrent and may be pursued independently, singularly, successively, together or otherwise, at such time and in such order as Lender may determine in its sole discretion, to the fullest extent permitted by law, without impairing or otherwise affecting the other rights and remedies of Lender permitted by law, equity or contract or as set forth herein or in the other Loan Documents. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Borrower and each other Loan Party agrees that if an Event of Default is continuing (i) Lender is not subject to any one action or election of remedies law or rule, and (ii) all liens and other rights, remedies or privileges provided to Lender shall remain in full force and effect until Lender has exhausted all of its remedies against the Collateral has been foreclosed, sold and/or otherwise realized upon in satisfaction of the Debt or the Debt has been paid in full.
(b) With respect to Borrower and each other Loan Party and the Collateral, nothing contained herein or in any other Loan Document shall be construed as requiring Lender to resort to any portion of the Collateral for the satisfaction of any of the Debt in any preference or priority to any other portion of the Collateral, and Lender may seek satisfaction out of all of the Collateral, or any part thereof, in its absolute discretion in respect of the Debt. In addition, Lender shall have the right from time to time to partially foreclose the Collateral in any manner and for any amounts secured by the Pledge Agreement then due and payable as determined by Lender in its sole discretion including, without limitation, the following circumstances: (i) in the event Borrower and any other Loan Party defaults beyond any applicable grace period in the payment of one or more scheduled payments of principal and interest, Lender may foreclose upon all or any portion of the Collateral to recover such delinquent payments or (ii) in the event
-104-
Lender elects to accelerate less than the entire outstanding principal balance of the Loan, Lender may foreclose upon all or any portion of the Collateral to recover so much of the principal balance of the Loan as Lender may accelerate and such other sums secured by the Pledge Agreement as Lender may elect. Notwithstanding one or more partial foreclosures, the remaining portions of the Collateral shall remain subject to the Pledge Agreement and the other Loan Documents to secure payment of sums secured by the Pledge Agreement and the other Loan Documents and not previously recovered.
(c) Lender shall have the right from time to time to sever the Note and the other Loan Documents into one or more separate notes, pledges and other security documents (the Severed Loan Documents) in such denominations as Lender shall determine in its sole discretion for purposes of evidencing and enforcing its rights and remedies provided hereunder. Borrower and each other Loan Party shall execute and deliver to Lender from time to time, promptly after the request of Lender, a severance agreement and such other documents as Lender shall request in order to effect the severance described in the preceding sentence, all in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Lender. Following the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, Borrower and each other Loan Party hereby absolutely and irrevocably appoints Lender as its true and lawful attorney, coupled with an interest, in its name and stead to make and execute all documents necessary or desirable to effect the aforesaid severance, Borrower and each other Loan Party ratifying all that its said attorney shall do by virtue thereof; provided, however, Lender shall not make or execute any such documents under such power until three (3) days after notice has been given to Borrower by Lender of Lenders intent to exercise its rights under such power. Borrower shall be obligated to pay any costs or expenses incurred in connection with the preparation, execution, recording or filing of the Severed Loan Documents and the Severed Loan Documents shall not contain any representations, warranties or covenants not contained in the Loan Documents and any such representations and warranties contained in the Severed Loan Documents will be given by Borrower only as of the Closing Date.
(d) As used in this Section 8.2, a foreclosure shall include, without limitation, any sale by power of sale.
(e) Any amounts recovered from the Collateral after and during the continuance of an Event of Default may be applied by Lender toward the payment of any interest and/or principal of the Loan and/or any other amounts due under the Loan Documents in such order, priority and proportions as Lender in its sole discretion shall determine.
Section 8.3 Remedies Cumulative; Waivers. The rights, powers and remedies of Lender under this Agreement shall be cumulative and not exclusive of any other right, power or remedy which Lender may have against Borrower and any other Loan Party pursuant to this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, or existing at law or in equity or otherwise. Lenders rights, powers and remedies may be pursued singularly, concurrently or otherwise, at such time and in such order as Lender may determine in Lenders sole discretion. No delay or omission to exercise any remedy, right or power accruing upon an Event of Default shall impair any such remedy, right or power or shall be construed as a waiver thereof, but any such remedy, right or power may be exercised from time to time and as often as may be deemed expedient. A waiver of one Default or Event of Default with respect to Borrower or any other
Loan Party shall not be construed to be a waiver of any subsequent Default or Event of Default by Borrower or any other Loan Party or to impair any remedy, right or power consequent thereon.
-105-
Section 8.4 Right to Cure Defaults. During the continuation of an Event of Default, Lender may, but without any obligation to do so and without notice to or demand on any Loan Party and without releasing any Loan Party from any obligation hereunder or being deemed to have cured any Event of Default hereunder, make, do or perform any obligation of any Loan Party hereunder in such manner and to such extent as Lender may deem necessary. Subject to the rights of Mortgage Lender, if any, Lender is authorized to enter upon the Properties for such purposes, or appear in, defend, or bring any action or proceeding to protect its interest in such Individual Property for such purposes, and the cost and expense thereof (including reasonable attorneys fees to the extent permitted by law), with interest as provided in this Section 8.4, shall constitute a portion of the Debt and shall be due and payable to Lender upon demand. All such costs and expenses incurred by Lender in remedying such Event of Default or such failed payment or act or in appearing in, defending, or bringing any action or proceeding shall bear interest at the Default Rate, for the period after such cost or expense was incurred until the date of payment to Lender. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of a Mortgage Loan Event of Loan Default, Lender may, but without any obligation to do so and without notice to or demand on any Loan Party, Mortgage Borrower or Operating Lessee and without releasing any Loan Party from any obligation under the Loan Documents or being deemed to have cured any Mortgage Loan Event Default, make, do or perform any obligation of Mortgage Borrower or Operating Lessee under the Mortgage Loan Documents in such manner and to such extent as Lender may deem necessary. All such costs and expenses incurred by Lender in remedying such Mortgage Loan Event of Default or such failed payment or act shall bear interest at the Default Rate, for the period after such cost or expense was incurred to the date of payment to Lender. All such costs and expenses incurred by Lender together with interest thereon calculated at the Default Rate shall be deemed to constitute a portion of the Debt and be secured by the liens, claims and security interests provided to Lender under the Loan Documents and shall be immediately due and payable upon demand by Lender therefor.
