In the event that Agent or Lender shall have determined in its sole but good faith discretion (which determination shall be conclusive and binding upon Borrowers absent manifest error) that one or more Benchmark Transition Events shall have occurred, Agent shall determine the corresponding Benchmark Replacement Date in accordance with the definition thereof, and Agent shall, at any time after the Benchmark Replacement Date, have the sole and exclusive right at its election, to be exercised in its sole but good faith discretion, to convert the Loan from a Term SOFR Loan to an Alternate Rate Loan based on the applicable Benchmark Replacement selected by Agent as provided in the definition thereof, or if the Loan had previously been converted to an Alternate Rate Loan based upon a Benchmark Replacement, to an Alternate Rate Loan based on the applicable alternative Benchmark Replacement selected by Agent as provided in the definition thereof; provided, that, in each case such conversion shall be subject to satisfaction of the following conditions: (A) at the time of conversion, such applicable Benchmark Replacement is
60
49289660

a floating rate index that is then commonly used by Agent in its floating rate commercial real estate loans originated and held on its balance sheet as an alternative to the then-current Benchmark, as determined by Agent in its sole but good faith discretion (provided, further, that, such floating rate index is commonly used by Agent with respect to similarly situated borrowers under similar loans as the Loan), and (B) such applicable Benchmark Replacement is administratively and commercially reasonable for Agent and each Lender to implement, as determined by Agent in its sole but good faith discretion. In the event the foregoing conditions shall be satisfied and the Loan is converted to an Alternate Rate Loan as provided above, the Loan shall bear interest at the applicable Alternate Rate effective as of the first day on which the Loan is converted to the applicable Alternate Rate Loan. Agent will promptly notify the Borrowers of the conversion of the Loan to the applicable Alternate Rate Loan. Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, in no event shall Borrowers have the right to convert (x) a Term SOFR Loan to an Alternate Rate Loan or (y) an Alternate Rate Loan accruing interest at a rate based upon the then-current Benchmark Replacement to an alternative Alternate Rate Loan accruing interest at a rate based upon any alternative Benchmark Replacement.
(d)In the event that Agent shall have determined in its sole but good faith discretion (which determination shall be conclusive and binding upon Borrowers absent manifest error) that Term SOFR cannot be ascertained as provided in the definition of Term SOFR as set forth herein, or that the adoption of any requirement of law or any change therein or in the interpretation or application thereof, shall make it unlawful for any Lender to maintain a Term SOFR Loan as contemplated hereunder, or Term SOFR would be in excess of the maximum interest rate that Borrowers may by law pay, and the Loan has not previously been converted to an Alternate Rate Loan in accordance with Section 2.2(c) above, Agent may, in its sole but good faith discretion elect to give notice thereof to Borrowers (which may be by telephone or e-mail, followed promptly by written notice). If such notice is given, the Term SOFR Loan shall be converted, as of the first day of the next succeeding Interest Period, or upon such earlier date as may be required by law, at Agent’s option (in Agent’s sole but good faith discretion), to a Prime Rate Loan bearing interest at the Prime Rate. Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, in no event shall Borrowers have the right to convert a Term SOFR Loan to a Prime Rate Loan or an Alternate Rate Loan.
(e)If, pursuant to Section 2.2(d) hereof, the Loan has been converted to Prime Rate Loan and Agent shall determine (which determination shall be conclusive and binding upon Borrowers absent manifest error) that the event(s) or circumstance(s) which resulted in such conversion shall no longer be applicable and Term SOFR can be determined as provided in the definition of Term SOFR as set forth herein, Agent shall give notice thereof to Borrowers (which may be by telephone or e-mail, followed promptly by written notice) prior to the next succeeding Interest Determination Date. Upon the giving of such notice, the Loan shall be converted, as of the first day of the next succeeding Interest Period, to a Term SOFR Loan. Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, in no event shall Borrowers have the right to convert a Prime Rate Loan to a Term SOFR Loan or a Term SOFR Loan to a Prime Rate Loan.
(f)If, pursuant to the terms of Section 2.2(c) hereof, the Loan has been converted to an Alternate Rate Loan but thereafter Agent shall determine (which determination
61
49289660

shall be conclusive and binding upon Borrowers absent manifest error) that the applicable Alternate Index Rate cannot be ascertained, or that the adoption of any requirement of law or any change therein or in the interpretation or application thereof, shall make it unlawful for any Lender to maintain an Alternate Rate Loan as contemplated hereunder, or the applicable Alternate Rate would be in excess of the maximum interest rate that Borrowers may by law pay, Agent may, in its sole but good faith discretion, elect to give notice thereof to Borrowers (which may be by telephone or e-mail, followed promptly by written notice) prior to the next succeeding Interest Determination Date. If such notice is given, the Alternate Rate Loan shall be converted, as of the first day of the next succeeding Interest Period, or upon such earlier date as may be required by law, to a Prime Rate Loan bearing interest at the Prime Rate.
(g)If, pursuant to the terms of this Section 2.2, the Loan has been converted to a Prime Rate Loan and thereafter Agent has determined in its sole but good faith discretion that Term SOFR has been succeeded by a Benchmark Replacement and such Benchmark Replacement can be determined, then Agent shall have the sole and exclusive right, to be exercised in its sole but good faith discretion, to convert the Loan from a Prime Rate Loan to an Alternate Rate Loan in accordance with, and subject to satisfaction of the conditions set forth in, the provisions of Section 2.2.1(c) above, and Agent shall give notice thereof to Borrowers (which may be by telephone or e-mail, followed promptly by written notice) prior to the next succeeding Interest Determination Date, and if such notice is given, the Loan shall be converted, as of the first day of the next succeeding Interest Period, to an Alternate Rate Loan. Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, in no event shall Borrowers have the right to elect to convert an Alternate Rate Loan to a Prime Rate Loan or a Prime Rate Loan to an Alternate Rate Loan.
(h)Borrowers hereby agree to promptly pay to Agent or any Lender, as the case may be, within twenty (20) Business Days of Agent’s or such Lender’s written demand, any additional amounts necessary to compensate Agent or such Lender for any actual out-of-pocket costs incurred by Agent or such Lender in making any conversion in accordance with this Agreement, including without limitation, any interest or fees payable by Agent or such Lender to lenders of funds obtained by it in order to make or maintain the Term SOFR Loan (or Alternate Rate Loan) hereunder. Agent or any Lender’s notice of such costs, as certified to Borrowers, shall be conclusive absent manifest error. Upon written demand from Borrowers, Agent or the applicable Lender, as the case may be, shall demonstrate in reasonable detail the circumstances giving rise to Agent’s or such Lender’s, as the case may be, conversion determination and the calculation substantiating Agent’s or such Lender’s, as the case may be, calculation of the Alternate Rate or Prime Rate and any additional costs incurred by Agent or such Lender in making the conversion.
(i)In connection with the use, administration, adoption or implementation of a Benchmark Replacement, Agent shall have the right to make Conforming Changes from time to time and, notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein or in any other Loan Documents, any amendments implementing such Conforming Changes will become effective without any further action or consent of any Borrower or any other party to this Agreement. Agent will promptly notify Borrowers of the effectiveness of any such Conforming Changes.

3.Interest Calculation. Interest on the Outstanding Principal Balance, whether at the Interest Rate or the Default Rate, shall be calculated by multiplying (A) the actual number of days elapsed in the period for which the calculation is being made, by (B) a daily rate equal to the Interest Rate or the Default Rate (or, the weighted average of the Interest Rate and the Default Rate, based on the number of days in the respective period of calculation for which each such rate is applicable for any period during which both the Interest Rate and Default Rate are applicable) divided by 360, by (C) the average Outstanding Principal Balance during the relevant Interest Period for which interest is being calculated, and shall accrue with regard to the Loan based on the Outstanding Principal Balance applicable to the Loan. The accrual period for calculating interest due on each Payment Date shall be the Interest Period immediately prior to such Payment Date.
4.Principal Payments.
(a)Principal Payment at Maturity. Borrowers shall pay the unpaid principal balance of the Loan in a single installment on the Maturity Date, together with all accrued and unpaid Interest (including, to the extent applicable, interest at the Default Rate) to and including the date of such payment, all Additional Interest, Prepayment Fee, if applicable, fees, expenses, charges and any other amounts due and payable hereunder and under the other Loan Documents.
(b)Optional Prepayment. In addition to prepayments pursuant to Section 2.6, Borrowers may, upon not less than thirty (30) days’ prior notice to Agent, prepay the Loan, in whole (or, (x) in order to terminate a Cash Sweep Period, or (y) in order to satisfy the conditions precedent set forth in Section 2.17(b)(viii), 2.17(c)(viii) or 2.17(d)(vii) on a date no earlier than thirty (30) days prior to the Maturity Date, in part), on any Business Day in accordance with this Section 2.4(b). Any such prepayment notice shall specify the date of the prepayment, and shall be revocable, but if revoked in the three (3) Business Days prior to the date for prepayment specified in such notice, then Borrowers shall be responsible to pay any out-of-pocket costs incurred by Agent or Lenders by reason of such revocation. In connection with any prepayment other than in connection with Section 2.6, Borrowers shall be subject to compliance with the following:
(1)all prepayments shall be in amounts of not less than $1,000,000, unless the last remaining amount is less than $1,000,000 (in which case, such prepayment shall be in the full amount remaining);
(2)upon payment in full of the Loan, Borrowers shall pay to Agent, for the benefit of Lenders, the Prepayment Fee, if applicable;
(3)if payment is made on any date other than a Payment Date, Borrowers shall pay to Agent all applicable Breakage Costs; and
(4)concurrently with any such prepayment, Borrowers shall pay to Agent (x) all accrued and unpaid Interest (including, to the extent applicable, interest at the Default Rate) to and including the date of prepayment on the amount being prepaid, (y) all Additional Interest, fees, expenses, charges and any other amounts due and payable hereunder and under the other Loan Documents at the time of such prepayment and (z) all fees and expenses incurred by Agent, including Agent’s Counsel Fees in connection with such prepayment.
5.Other Sums. Borrowers shall pay to Agent all other sums owed to Agent pursuant to the Loan Documents when such sums are due and payable as provided in the applicable Loan Document, or if not provided therein, within five (5) days after written demand by Agent. To the
63
49289660

extent any other such sums are determined on a per diem or similar basis, such sums shall be calculated on the basis of a 360 day year and the actual number of days elapsed.
6.Mandatory Prepayment. Borrowers shall be required to prepay the Loan at any time and from time to time upon the occurrence of any of the circumstances requiring prepayment described in this Agreement, including Section 5.14, or the other Loan Documents by paying the principal amount so required to be prepaid, together with all accrued and unpaid Interest (including, to the extent applicable, interest at the Default Rate) to and including the date of such prepayment on the amount being prepaid, all Additional Interest, fees, the Prepayment Fee, if applicable, and any other amounts due and payable hereunder and under the other Loan Documents and all fees, expenses and charges incurred by Agent, including Agent’s Counsel Fees in connection with the Loan and/or with the such prepayment. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, so long as no Event of Default is continuing, no Prepayment Fee or any other prepayment premium, penalty or fee shall be due in connection with any prepayment made pursuant to this Section 2.6.
7.Prepayments After Default. If, during the continuance of an Event of Default, payment of all or any part of the Loan is tendered by Borrowers or is otherwise recovered by Agent (including through application of any Account Collateral), such tender or recovery shall be deemed to be a voluntary prepayment by Borrowers and Borrowers shall pay, as part of the Obligations, all of (without duplication): (i) all accrued Interest calculated at the Default Rate on the amount of principal being prepaid through and including the date of such prepayment together with an amount equal to the Interest that would have accrued at the Default Rate on the amount of principal being prepaid through the end of the Interest Period in which such prepayment occurs, notwithstanding that such Interest Period extends beyond the date of prepayment, (ii) Additional Interest, (iii) Breakage Costs, if any, without duplication of any sums paid pursuant to the preceding clause (ii) and (iv) the Prepayment Fee, as applicable.
8.Payment; Default Rate; Application of Certain Monies; Priority of Payments; Set-offs.
1.Manner of Payment. All sums payable by Borrowers under this Agreement or any other Loan Document shall be made in Dollars and in immediately available funds not later than 3:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the date when such payment is due pursuant to the terms of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents. In the event that any sums are received by Agent from or on behalf of Borrowers after the applicable time limit set forth in this Section 2.8.1 such sums shall be treated as being received by Agent on the immediately succeeding Business Day for all purposes and Borrowers shall be responsible for any out-of-pocket costs of Agent and Lenders resulting therefrom, including any Additional Interest or overdraft charges. All sums payable by Borrowers under this Agreement or under any other Loan Document shall be made in immediately available funds at Agent’s office or such other place as Agent shall from time to time designate.
2.Reserved.
3.Default Rate.
(a)Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein or in any other Loan Document, if an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Loan shall bear Interest from and including the date of the occurrence of such Event of Default (both before and after judgment) at a fluctuating rate of interest per annum equal to the Default Rate, which interest at the Default Rate shall be payable upon demand of Agent.
64
49289660

(b)If Borrowers shall fail to make a payment within three (3) Business Days of when due of any sum under the Loan Documents (whether principal (other than principal which is accruing interest at the Default Rate pursuant to Section 2.8.3(a) above), Interest, Additional Interest, fees or other amounts), such sum shall bear Interest from and including the date such payment is due to but excluding the date such payment is made (after as well as before judgment) at a fluctuating rate of interest per annum equal to the Default Rate; provided, however, that the failure of Default Rate to commence accruing shall not negate the existence of any Event of Default arising out of the failure to make any payment when due (giving effect to any applicable grace period permitted by the Loan Documents).
(c)Agent’s failure to collect interest at the Default Rate at any time shall not constitute a waiver of Agent’s or any Lender’s right thereafter, at any time and from time to time (including upon acceleration of the Maturity Date or upon payment in full of the Loan), to collect such previously uncollected interest at the Default Rate or to collect subsequently accruing interest at the Default Rate.
4.Late Payment Fee. Borrowers shall pay to Agent, for the account of Lenders, a late payment premium in the amount of four percent (4%) of (i) that portion of the delinquent amount of the Loan not paid within three (3) Business Days of when due and (ii) any Interest (including, to the extent applicable, interest at the Default Rate), Additional Interest, fee, expense, charge or other amount payable under any Note, this Agreement or the other Loan Documents made after the due date thereof (giving effect to any applicable grace periods), which late payment premium shall be due with any such late payment; provided, however, without limiting Borrowers’ obligations to make payments accruing at the Default Rate pursuant to Section 2.8.3 hereof or to pay late payment premiums on principal amounts due on any date other than the Maturity Date, Borrowers shall not be required to pay a late payment premium with respect to the principal balance of the Loan if the principal balance of the Loan is not paid on the Maturity Date. The acceptance of a late payment premium shall not constitute a waiver of any Default or Event of Default then existing or thereafter arising. Agent’s failure to collect a late payment premium at any time shall not constitute a waiver of Agent’s or any Lender’s right thereafter, at any time and from time to time (including upon acceleration of the Maturity Date or upon payment in full of the Loan), to collect such previously uncollected late payment premiums or to collect subsequently accruing late payment premiums.
5.Priority of Payments. If no Event of Default is then continuing, all payments of principal and Interest in respect of the Loan, all payments of fees and all other expenses in respect of any other Obligations, and any other amounts received by Agent from or for the benefit of Borrowers shall be applied first, to pay such fees and expenses (including the Prepayment Fee, as applicable), second, to pay Interest on the Loan and then to repay the outstanding principal amount of the Loan.
6.No Set-Offs. All sums payable by Borrowers under the Note, this Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall be paid in full and without set-offs, counterclaims, deductions or withholdings of any kind.
7.Ratable Payments. Each payment by any Credit Party pursuant to any Loan Document shall be applied to the amounts of such obligations owing to Lenders pro rata according to the respective amounts then due and owing to Lenders. If any Lender shall obtain payment in respect of any of the Obligations resulting in such Lender receiving payment of a proportion of the aggregate amount of the Obligations owed to such Lender greater than its Pro Rata Share thereof, then the Lender receiving such greater proportion shall promptly (a) notify Agent of such fact, and (b) make such other adjustments as shall be equitable, so that the benefit of all such payments shall be shared by each Lender ratably in accordance with the aggregate amount of principal of and accrued interest on the Obligations owed to such Lender, provided,
65
49289660

that the provisions of this Section 2.8.7 shall not be construed to apply to (x) any payment made to Agent or any Lender as reimbursement of any costs, fees and expenses incurred by Agent or such Lender, pursuant to and in accordance with the express terms of this Agreement and any other Loan Document, including the Loan Fee Letter, (y) any payment obtained by a Lender as consideration for the assignment of or sale of a participation in any of the Obligations owed to such Lender to any assignee or participant or (z) any payment to a Lender for Additional Interest.
8.Breakage Costs.
(a)Borrowers agree to compensate Lenders for any loss, cost or expense (collectively, “Breakage Costs”) actually incurred by Lenders as a result of (i) a default by Borrowers in making any prepayment after Borrowers have given a notice thereof in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement or (ii) the payment of the Loan (including any mandatory or optional prepayment) for any reason (including, without limitation, the acceleration of the maturity of the Loan following an Event of Default) on a day that is not a Payment Date, including without limitation, any such loss, cost or expense arising from the reemployment of funds obtained by it, from fees payable to terminate the deposits from which such funds were obtained or from reversing any swap or other interest rate hedging arrangements (provided that Borrowers shall not be required to pay additional interest on the sums prepaid subsequent to the date of payment). The loss to any Lender attributable to any such event shall be deemed to include an amount determined by such Lender in good faith to be equal to the excess, if any, of (i) the amount of interest that such Lender would have accrued on the principal amount of the Loan for the period from the date of such payment, failure or assignment to the last day of the then current Interest Period for the Loan if the interest rate payable on such deposit were equal to the Term SOFR Rate (excluding, however, the Spread included therein) for such Interest Period, over (ii) the amount of interest (as determined by such Lender in good faith) which would have accrued to such Lender on such amount by placing such amount on deposit for a comparable period with leading banks in the interbank Eurodollar market.
(b)Lenders will furnish to Borrowers a certificate setting forth the basis and amount of each request by Lenders for compensation under this Section 2.8.8, which certificate shall provide reasonable detail as to the calculation of such Breakage Costs. Such certificate shall be conclusive absent manifest error. Borrowers shall pay such Lender the amount shown as due on any such certificate within ten (10) Business Days after receipt thereof.
9.Interest Rate Protection Agreement.
1.Interest Rate Protection Agreement. Prior to or contemporaneously with the Closing Date, Borrowers shall have obtained, and thereafter shall maintain in effect (subject to the terms of this Agreement), the Interest Rate Protection Agreement, which shall have a term expiring no earlier than the last day of the Interest Period ending in January, 2027 and have a notional amount based on the Rate Cap Notional Amount Schedule. The Interest Rate Protection Agreement shall have a strike rate equal to the Strike Price.
2.Pledge and Collateral Assignment. As security for the full and punctual payment and performance of the Obligations when due (whether upon Initial Maturity, by acceleration, early termination or otherwise), each Borrower, as pledgor, hereby pledges, assigns, hypothecates, transfers and delivers to Agent (on behalf of Lenders) as collateral and hereby grants to Agent (on behalf of Lenders) a continuing first priority lien on and security interest in, to and under all of the following whether now owned or hereafter acquired and whether now existing or hereafter arising (the “Rate Protection Collateral”): all of the right, title and interest of such Borrower in and to (i) the Interest Rate Protection Agreement; (ii) all payments, distributions, disbursements or proceeds due, owing, payable or required to be delivered to Borrower in respect of the Interest Rate Protection Agreement or arising out of the Interest Rate
66
49289660

Protection Agreement, whether as contractual obligations, damages or otherwise; and (iii) all of such Borrower’s claims, rights, powers, privileges, authority, options, security interests, liens and remedies, if any, under or arising out of the Interest Rate Protection Agreement, in each case including all accessions and additions to, substitutions for and replacements, products and proceeds of any or all of the foregoing. Upon entering into any Interest Rate Protection Agreement following the Closing Date, Borrowers shall reaffirm and ratify the foregoing grant of a continuing first priority lien on and security interest in, to and under the Rate Protection Collateral.
3.Covenants.
(a)Borrowers shall comply with all of its obligations under the terms and provisions of the Interest Rate Protection Agreement. All amounts paid by the Counterparty under the Interest Rate Protection Agreement to Borrower or Agent shall be deposited within two (2) Business Days of receipt thereof into the Clearing Account pursuant to Section 4.1. Subject to the terms hereof, provided no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, Borrowers shall be entitled to exercise all rights, powers and privileges of Borrowers under, and to control the prosecution of all claims with respect to, the Interest Rate Protection Agreement and the other Rate Protection Collateral. Borrowers shall take all actions reasonably requested by Agent to enforce Borrowers’ rights under the Interest Rate Protection Agreement in the event of a default by the Counterparty thereunder and shall not waive, amend or otherwise modify any of its rights thereunder.
(b)Borrowers shall use commercially reasonable efforts to defend Agent’s and Lenders’ right, title and interest in and to the Rate Protection Collateral pledged by Borrowers pursuant hereto or in which it has granted a security interest pursuant hereto against the claims and demands of all other Persons.
(c)In the event of any downgrade, withdrawal or qualification of the rating of the Counterparty such that the Counterparty has a long-term unsecured debt or counterparty rating of lower than “A-” by S&P or “A3” by Moody’s, Borrowers shall replace the Interest Rate Protection Agreement with a Replacement Interest Rate Protection Agreement not later than thirty (30) days following such downgrade, withdrawal or qualification.
(d)In the event that Borrowers fail to purchase and deliver to Agent any Interest Rate Protection Agreement as and when required hereunder, Agent may purchase the Interest Rate Protection Agreement and the cost incurred by Agent in purchasing the Interest Rate Protection Agreement shall be paid by Borrowers to Agent with interest thereon at the Default Rate from the date such cost was incurred by Agent until such cost is paid by Borrowers to Agent.
(e)Borrowers shall not sell, assign, or otherwise dispose of, or mortgage, pledge or grant a security interest in, any of the Rate Protection Collateral or any interest therein, and any sale, assignment, mortgage, pledge or security interest whatsoever made in violation of this covenant shall be a nullity and of no force and effect, and upon demand of Agent, shall forthwith be cancelled or satisfied by an appropriate instrument in writing.
67
49289660

(f)Borrowers shall not (i) without the prior written consent of Agent, modify, amend or supplement the terms of the Interest Rate Protection Agreement, (ii) without the prior written consent of Agent, except in accordance with the terms of the Interest Rate Protection Agreement, cause the termination of the Interest Rate Protection Agreement prior to the Initial Maturity Date, (iii) without the prior written consent of Agent, except as aforesaid, waive or release any obligation of the Counterparty (or any successor or substitute party to the Interest Rate Protection Agreement) under the Interest Rate Protection Agreement, (iv) without the prior written consent of Agent, consent or agree to any act or omission to act on the part of the Counterparty (or any successor or substitute party to the Interest Rate Protection Agreement) which, without such consent or agreement, would constitute a default under the Interest Rate Protection Agreement, (v) fail to exercise promptly and diligently each and every material right which it may have under the Interest Rate Protection Agreement, (vi) take or intentionally omit to take any action or intentionally suffer or permit any action to be omitted or taken, the taking or omission of which would result in any right of offset against sums payable under the Interest Rate Protection Agreement or any defense by the Counterparty (or any successor or substitute party to the Interest Rate Protection Agreement) to payment of any sums payable under the Interest Rate Protection Agreement or (vii) fail to give prompt notice to Agent of any notice of default given by or to Borrower under or with respect to the Interest Rate Protection Agreement, together with a complete copy of such notice.
(g)In connection with an Interest Rate Protection Agreement, unless the Counterparty under such Interest Rate Protection Agreement is JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. or its Affiliate, Borrowers shall obtain and deliver to Agent a customary opinion of counsel in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Agent from counsel (which counsel may be in-house counsel for the Counterparty) for the Counterparty upon which Agent, Lender and their successors and assigns may rely (the “Counterparty Opinion”), under New York law and, if the Counterparty is a non-U.S. entity, the applicable foreign law.
(h)Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 2.9.3(h) or elsewhere in this Agreement, if, at any time, the Loan is converted from a Term SOFR Loan to either a Prime Rate Loan or an Alternate Rate Loan or from a Prime Rate Loan to a Term SOFR Loan or Alternate Rate Loan in accordance with Section 2.2 above (each, a “Rate Conversion”) then:
(i)within thirty (30) days after such Rate Conversion, Borrowers shall either (A) enter into, make all premium payments under, and satisfy all conditions precedent to the effectiveness of, a Substitute Interest Rate Protection Agreement (and in connection therewith, but not prior to Borrowers taking all the actions described in this clause (i), Borrowers shall have the right to terminate any then-existing Interest Rate Protection Agreement) or (B) cause the then-existing Interest Rate Protection Agreement to be modified such that such then-existing Interest Rate Protection Agreement satisfies the requirements of a Substitute Interest Rate Protection Agreement as set forth below in the definition thereof (a “Conversion Interest Rate Protection Agreement”); and
68
49289660

(ii)following such Rate Conversion (provided Lender has not converted the Loan back to a Term SOFR Loan in accordance with Section 2.2(e) hereof), in lieu of satisfying the conditions described in Section 2.17(b)(iv) or Section 2.17(c)(iv), with respect to any outstanding extension period, Borrowers shall instead enter into, make all premium payments under, and satisfy all conditions precedent to the effectiveness of a Substitute Interest Rate Protection Agreement on or prior to the first day of such extension period.
(i)Borrowers shall at all times comply with all Legal Requirements related to the Interest Rate Protection Agreement, including, without limitation, the requirement to maintain a “Legal Entity Identifier” number with respect to the Interest Rate Protection Agreement, and Borrowers shall, upon request by Agent, provide Agent with evidence reasonably satisfactory to Agent that Borrowers have complied with such requirements.
4.Powers of Borrower Prior to an Event of Default. Subject to the provisions of Section 2.9.3(a), provided no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, Borrowers shall be entitled to exercise all rights, powers and privileges of Borrowers under, and to control the prosecution of all claims with respect to, the Interest Rate Protection Agreement and the other Rate Protection Collateral.
5.Representations and Warranties. At any time that Borrowers are obligated to obtain and maintain the Interest Rate Protection Agreement, Borrowers hereby covenant with, and represent and warrant to, Agent and Lenders as follows:
(a)The Interest Rate Protection Agreement constitutes the legal, valid and binding obligation of Borrowers, enforceable against Borrowers in accordance with its terms, subject only to applicable bankruptcy, reorganization, insolvency, moratorium and similar laws affecting rights of creditors generally, and subject, as to enforceability, to general principles of equity (regardless of whether enforcement is sought in a proceeding in equity or at law).
(b)The Rate Protection Collateral is free and clear of all claims or security interests of every nature whatsoever, except such as are created pursuant to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and Borrowers have the right to pledge and grant a security interest in the same as herein provided without the consent of any other Person other than any such consent that has been obtained and is in full force and effect.
(c)The Rate Protection Collateral has been duly and validly pledged hereunder. All consents and approvals required to be obtained by Borrowers for the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement have been obtained.
(d)Giving effect to the aforesaid grant and assignment to Agent (on behalf of Lenders) in Section 2.9.2, Agent (on behalf of Lenders) shall have, a valid, and upon proper filing, perfected and continuing first priority lien upon and security interest in the Rate Protection Collateral; provided, however, that no representation or warranty is made with respect to the perfected status of the security interest of Agent (on behalf of Lenders) in the proceeds of Rate Protection Collateral consisting of “cash proceeds” or “non-cash proceeds” as defined in the
69
49289660

UCC except if, and to the extent, the provisions of Section 9-315 of the UCC shall be complied with.
(e)Except for financing statements filed or to be filed in favor of Agent (on behalf of Lenders) as secured party, there are no financing statements under the UCC covering any or all of the Rate Protection Collateral and Borrowers shall not, without the prior written consent of Agent, until payment in full of all of the Obligations, execute and file in any public office, any enforceable financing statement or statements covering any or all of the Rate Protection Collateral, except financing statements filed or to be filed in favor of Agent (on behalf of Lenders) as secured party.
6.Payments. If any Borrower at any time shall be entitled to receive any payments with respect to the Interest Rate Protection Agreement, such Borrower shall instruct Counterparty that such amounts shall, immediately upon becoming due and payable to such Borrower, be deposited by Counterparty into the Clearing Account.
7.Remedies. Subject to the provisions of the Interest Rate Protection Agreement, if an Event of Default shall occur and then be continuing:
(a)Agent, without obligation to resort to any other security, right or remedy granted under any other agreement or instrument, shall have the right to, in addition to all rights, powers and remedies of a secured party pursuant to the UCC, at any time and from time to time, sell, resell, assign and deliver, in its sole discretion, any or all of the Rate Protection Collateral (in one or more portions and at the same or different times) and all right, title and interest, claim and demand therein and right of redemption thereof, at public or private sale, for cash, upon credit or for future delivery, and in connection therewith Agent may grant options and may impose reasonable conditions such as requiring any purchaser to represent that any “securities” constituting any part of the Rate Protection Collateral are being purchased for investment only, each Borrower hereby waiving and releasing any and all equity or right of redemption to the fullest extent permitted by the UCC or applicable Legal Requirements. If all or any of the Rate Protection Collateral is sold by Agent upon credit or for future delivery, Agent shall not be liable for the failure of the purchaser to purchase or pay for the same and, in the event of any such failure, Agent may resell such Rate Protection Collateral. It is expressly agreed that Agent may exercise its rights with respect to less than all of the Rate Protection Collateral, leaving unexercised its rights with respect to the remainder of the Rate Protection Collateral, provided, however, that such partial exercise shall in no way restrict or jeopardize Agent’s right to exercise its rights with respect to all or any other portion of the Rate Protection Collateral at a later time or times.
(b)Agent may exercise, either by itself or by its nominee or designee, in the name of any Borrower, all of Agent’s rights, powers and remedies in respect of the Rate Protection Collateral, hereunder and under law.
(c)Each Borrower hereby irrevocably, in the name of such Borrower or otherwise, authorizes and empowers Agent and assigns and transfers unto Agent, and constitutes and appoints Agent its true and lawful attorney-in-fact, and as its agent, irrevocably, with full power of substitution for such Borrower and in the name of such Borrower, (i) to exercise and

enforce every right, power, remedy, authority, option and privilege of such Borrower under the Interest Rate Protection Agreement, including any power to subordinate or modify the Interest Rate Protection Agreement (but not, unless an Event of Default exists and is continuing, the right to terminate or cancel the Interest Rate Protection Agreement), or to give any notices, or to take any action resulting in such subordination, termination, cancellation or modification and (ii) in order to more fully vest in Agent the rights and remedies provided for herein, to exercise all of the rights, remedies and powers granted to Agent in this Agreement, and each Borrower further authorizes and empowers Agent, as such Borrower’s attorney-in-fact, and as its agent, irrevocably, with full power of substitution for such Borrower and in the name of such Borrower, to give any authorization, to furnish any information, to make any demands, to execute any instruments and to take any and all other action on behalf of and in the name of such Borrower which in the opinion of Agent may be necessary or appropriate to be given, furnished, made, exercised or taken under the Interest Rate Protection Agreement, in order to comply therewith, to perform the conditions thereof or to prevent or remedy any default by such Borrower thereunder or to enforce any of the rights of such Borrower thereunder. These powers-of-attorney are irrevocable and coupled with an interest, and any similar or dissimilar powers heretofore given by such Borrower in respect of the Rate Protection Collateral to any other Person are hereby revoked.
(d)Agent may, without notice to, or assent by, any Borrower or any other Person (to the extent permitted by law), but without affecting any of the Obligations, in the name of such Borrower or in the name of Agent, notify the Counterparty, or if applicable, any other counterparty to the Interest Rate Protection Agreement, to make payment and performance directly to Agent; extend the time of payment and performance of, compromise or settle for cash, credit or otherwise, and upon any terms and conditions, any obligations owing to any Borrower, or claims of any Borrower, under the Interest Rate Protection Agreement; file any claims, commence, maintain or discontinue any actions, suits or other proceedings deemed by Agent necessary or advisable for the purpose of collecting upon or enforcing the Interest Rate Protection Agreement; and execute any instrument and do all other things deemed necessary and proper by Agent to protect and preserve and realize upon the Rate Protection Collateral and the other rights contemplated hereby.
(e)Pursuant to the powers-of-attorney provided for above, Agent may take any action and exercise and execute any instrument which it may deem necessary or advisable to accomplish the purposes hereof; provided, however, that Agent shall not be permitted to take any action pursuant to said power-of-attorney that would conflict with any limitation on Agent’s rights with respect to the Rate Protection Collateral. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Agent, after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, shall have the right and power to receive, endorse and collect all checks and other orders for the payment of money made payable to any Borrower representing: (i) any payment of obligations owed pursuant to the Interest Rate Protection Agreement, (ii) interest accruing on any of the Rate Protection Collateral or (iii) any other payment or distribution payable in respect of the Rate Protection Collateral or any part thereof, and for and in the name, place and stead of any Borrower, to execute endorsements, assignments or other instruments of conveyance or transfer
71
49289660

in respect of any property which is or may become a part of the Rate Protection Collateral hereunder.
(f)Agent may exercise all of the rights and remedies of a secured party under the UCC.
(g)Without limiting any other provision of this Agreement or any of any Borrower’s rights hereunder, and without waiving or releasing any Borrower from any obligation or default hereunder, Agent shall have the right, but not the obligation, to perform any act or take any appropriate action, as it, in its reasonable judgment, may deem necessary to protect the security of this Agreement, to cure such Event of Default or to cause any term, covenant, condition or obligation required under this Agreement or the Interest Rate Protection Agreement to be performed or observed by any Borrower to be promptly performed or observed on behalf of any Borrower. All amounts advanced by, or on behalf of, Agent in exercising its rights under this Section 2.9.7(g) (including, but not limited to, reasonable legal expenses and disbursements incurred in connection therewith), together with interest thereon at the Default Rate from the date of each such advance, shall be payable by Borrowers to Agent upon demand and shall be secured by this Agreement.
8.Sales of Rate Protection Collateral. From and after the occurrence of an Event of Default, no demand, advertisement or notice, all of which are, to the fullest extent permitted by law, hereby expressly waived by Borrowers, shall be required in connection with any sale or other disposition of all or any part of the Rate Protection Collateral, except that Agent shall give Borrowers at least thirty (30) Business Days’ prior written notice of the time and place of any public sale or of the time when and the place where any private sale or other disposition is to be made, which notice each Borrower hereby agrees is reasonable, all other demands, advertisements and notices being hereby waived. To the extent permitted by law, Agent shall not be obligated to make any sale of the Rate Protection Collateral if it shall determine not to do so, regardless of the fact that notice of sale may have been given, and Agent may without notice or publication adjourn any public or private sale, and such sale may, without further notice, be made at the time and place to which the same was so adjourned. Upon each private sale of the Rate Protection Collateral of a type customarily sold in a recognized market and upon each public sale, unless prohibited by any applicable statute which cannot be waived, Agent (or its nominee or designee) may purchase any or all of the Rate Protection Collateral being sold, free and discharged from any trusts, claims, equity or right of redemption of any Borrower, all of which are hereby waived and released to the extent permitted by law, and may make payment therefor by credit against any of the Obligations in lieu of cash or any other obligations. In the case of all sales of the Rate Protection Collateral, public or private, Borrowers shall pay all reasonable costs and expenses of every kind for sale or delivery, including brokers’ and attorneys’ fees and disbursements and any tax imposed thereon. However, the proceeds of sale of Rate Protection Collateral shall be available to cover such costs and expenses, and, after deducting such costs and expenses from the proceeds of sale, Agent shall apply any residue to the payment of the Obligations in the order of priority as set forth in this Agreement.
9.Public Sales Not Possible. Borrowers acknowledge that the terms of the Interest Rate Protection Agreement may prohibit public sales, that the Rate Protection Collateral may not be of the type appropriately sold at public sales, and that such sales may be prohibited by law. In light of these considerations, Borrowers agree that private sales of the Rate Protection Collateral shall not be deemed to have been made in a commercially unreasonably manner by mere virtue of having been made privately.
72
49289660

10.Receipt of Sale Proceeds. Upon any sale of the Rate Protection Collateral by Agent hereunder (whether by virtue of the power of sale herein granted, pursuant to judicial process or otherwise), the receipt by Agent or the officer making the sale or the proceeds of such sale shall be a sufficient discharge to the purchaser or purchasers of the Rate Protection Collateral so sold, and such purchaser or purchasers shall not be obligated to see to the application of any part of the purchase money paid over to Agent or such officer or be answerable in any way for the misapplication or non-application thereof.
11.Replacement Interest Rate Protection Agreement. If, in connection with Borrowers’ exercise of each extension option pursuant to Section 2.17 hereof, Borrowers deliver a Replacement Interest Rate Protection Agreement, all the provisions of this Section 2.9 applicable to the initial Interest Rate Protection Agreement shall be applicable to the Replacement Interest Rate Protection Agreement.
10.Additional Interest.
Without duplication of any Breakage Costs required to be paid by Borrowers under this Agreement, Borrowers shall pay to Agent all losses, costs and expenses of Agent or any Lender incurred or estimated by Agent or such Lender, as applicable, to be incurred by reason of obtaining, liquidating or redeploying deposits or other funds acquired by Agent or such Lender to fund or maintain the Loan, including as a result of a repayment or prepayment of the Loan on any date other than a Payment Date or a revocation of a prepayment notice, including after the occurrence of an Event of Default. In any of the foregoing events, Borrowers shall pay to Agent, concurrently with any principal payment (provided Borrower shall have been notified of such amount prior to said principal payment) and within five (5) days after demand in all other cases, such amount as shall equal the amount of the Additional Interest certified by Agent (or the applicable Lender) to Borrowers by reason of such event. A certificate as to the amount of such Additional Interest submitted by Agent to Borrowers setting forth Agent’s (or the applicable Lender’s) basis for the determination of Additional Interest shall be conclusive evidence of the amount thereof, absent manifest error. Failure on the part of Agent to demand payment from Borrowers for any Additional Interest attributable to any particular period shall not constitute a waiver of Agent’s (or the applicable Lender’s) right to demand payment of such amount for any subsequent or prior period.
11.Taxes.
(a)Payments Free of Taxes. Any and all payments by or on account of any obligation of Borrowers under any Loan Document shall be made without deduction or withholding for any Taxes, except as required by applicable Legal Requirements. If any applicable Legal Requirements (as determined in the good faith discretion of Borrowers or Agent, as applicable) requires the deduction or withholding of any Tax from any such payment by Borrower or Agent, as applicable, then Borrowers or Agent, as applicable, shall be entitled to make such deduction or withholding and shall timely pay the full amount deducted or withheld to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable Legal Requirements and, if such Tax is an Indemnified Tax, then the sum payable by Borrowers shall be increased as necessary so that after such deduction or withholding has been made (including such deductions and withholdings applicable to additional sums payable under this Section 2.11(a)) the applicable Recipient receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deduction or withholding been made.
73
49289660

(b)Payment of Other Taxes by Borrower. Borrowers shall timely pay to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable Legal Requirements, or at the option of Agent timely reimburse it for the payment of, any Other Taxes.
(c)Indemnification by Borrower. Borrowers shall indemnify each Recipient, within ten (10) days after demand therefor, for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes (including Indemnified Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section 2.11(c)) payable or paid by such Recipient or required to be withheld or deducted from a payment to such Recipient and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to Borrowers by Lender (with a copy to Agent), or by Agent on its own behalf or on behalf of Lender, shall be conclusive absent manifest error.
(d)Indemnification by Lenders. Lender shall indemnify Agent, within ten (10) days after demand therefor, for (i) any Indemnified Taxes attributable to such Lender (but only to the extent that Borrowers have not already indemnified Agent for such Indemnified Taxes and without limiting the obligation of Borrowers to do so), (ii) any Taxes attributable to such Lender’s failure to comply with the provisions of Section 8.5 relating to the maintenance of a Participant Register and (iii) any Excluded Taxes attributable to such Lender, in each case, that are payable or paid by Agent in connection with any Loan Document, and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to Lender by Agent shall be conclusive absent manifest error. Lender hereby authorizes Agent to set off and apply any and all amounts at any time owing to such Lender under any Loan Document or otherwise payable by Agent to Lender from any other source against any amount due to Agent under this Section 2.11(d).
(e)Evidence of Payments. As soon as practicable after any payment of Taxes by Borrowers to a Governmental Authority pursuant to this Section 2.11, Borrowers shall deliver to Agent the original or a certified copy of a receipt issued by such Governmental Authority evidencing such payment, a copy of the return reporting such payment or other evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory to Agent.
(f)Status of Lenders. (i) If Lender is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding Tax with respect to payments made under any Loan Document and delivers to Borrowers and Agent, at the time or times reasonably requested by Borrowers or Agent, such properly completed and executed documentation reasonably requested by Borrowers or Agent, then such Lender shall be permitted to make such payments without withholding or at a reduced rate of withholding. In addition, Lender, if reasonably requested by Borrowers or Agent, shall deliver such other documentation prescribed by applicable Legal Requirements or reasonably requested by Borrowers or Agent as will enable Borrowers or Agent to determine whether or not such Lender is subject to backup withholding or information reporting requirements. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the preceding two sentences, the completion, execution and submission of such documentation (other than such documentation set forth in Section 2.11(f)(ii)(1), (ii)(2) and (ii)(4) below) shall not be required if in Lender’s reasonable judgment such completion, execution or submission would subject such Lender to any material unreimbursed cost or expense or would materially prejudice the legal or commercial position of such Lender.
(ii)    Without limiting the generality of the foregoing,
74
49289660

(1)if Lender is a U.S. Person, Lender shall deliver to Borrowers and Agent on or prior to the date on which such Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of Borrowers or Agent), executed copies of IRS Form W-9 certifying that such Lender is exempt from U.S. federal backup withholding tax;
(2)any Foreign Lender shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, deliver to Borrowers and Agent (in such number of copies as shall be requested by the recipient) on or prior to the date on which such Foreign Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Borrowers or Agent), whichever of the following is applicable:
(A)in the case of a Foreign Lender claiming the benefits of an income tax treaty to which the United States is a party (x) with respect to payments of interest under any Loan Document, executed copies of IRS Form W-8BEN or IRS Form W-8BEN-E establishing an exemption from, or reduction of, U.S. federal withholding Tax pursuant to the “interest” article of such tax treaty and (y) with respect to any other applicable payments under any Loan Document, IRS Form W-8BEN or IRS Form W-8BEN-E establishing an exemption from, or reduction of, U.S. federal withholding Tax pursuant to the “business profits” or “other income” article of such tax treaty;
(B)executed copies of IRS Form W-8ECI;
(C)in the case of a Foreign Lender claiming the benefits of the exemption for portfolio interest under Section 881(c) of the Code, (x) a certificate to the effect that such Foreign Lender is not a “bank” within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Code, a “10 percent shareholder” of the Borrower within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(B) of the Code, or a “controlled foreign corporation” described in Section 881(c)(3)(C) of the Code (a “U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate”) and (y) executed copies of IRS Form W-8BEN or IRS Form W-8BEN-E; or
(D)to the extent a Foreign Lender is not the beneficial owner, executed copies of IRS Form W-8IMY, accompanied by IRS Form W-8ECI, IRS Form W-8BEN, IRS W-8BEN-E, a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate, IRS Form W-9, and/or other certification documents from each beneficial owner, as applicable; provided that if the Foreign Lender is a partnership and one or more direct or indirect partners of such Foreign Lender are claiming the portfolio interest exemption, such Foreign Lender may provide a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate on behalf of each such direct and indirect partner;
(3)any Foreign Lender shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, deliver to Borrowers and Agent (in such number of copies as shall be requested by the recipient) on or prior to the date on which such Foreign Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of Borrowers or Agent), executed copies of any other form prescribed by applicable Legal Requirements as a basis for claiming exemption from or a reduction in U.S. federal withholding Tax, duly completed, together with such supplementary documentation as may be prescribed by applicable Legal Requirements to permit Borrowers or Agent to determine the withholding or deduction required to be made; and
75
49289660

(4)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 Borrowers and Agent at the time or times prescribed by law and at such time or times reasonably requested by Borrowers or Agent such documentation prescribed by applicable Legal Requirements (including as prescribed by Section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of the Code) and such additional documentation reasonably requested by Borrowers or Agent as may be necessary for Borrowers and Agent to comply with their obligations under FATCA and to determine that such Lender has complied with such Lender’s obligations under FATCA or to determine the amount to deduct, if any, and withhold from such payment. Solely for purposes of this clause (4), “FATCA” shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the date of this Agreement.
Lender agrees that if any form or certification it previously delivered expires or becomes obsolete or inaccurate in any respect, it shall update such form or certification or promptly notify Borrowers and Agent in writing of its legal inability to do so.
(g)Treatment of Certain Refunds. If any party determines, in its sole discretion exercised in good faith, that it has received a refund of any Taxes as to which it has been indemnified pursuant to this Section 2.11 (including by the payment of additional amounts pursuant to this Section 2.11), it shall pay to the indemnifying party an amount equal to such refund (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made under this Section with respect to the Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses (including Taxes) of such indemnified party and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund). Such indemnifying party, upon the request of such indemnified party, shall repay to such indemnified party the amount paid over pursuant to this Section 2.11(g) (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) in the event that such indemnified party is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 2.11(g), in no event will the indemnified party be required to pay any amount to an indemnifying party pursuant to this Section 2.11(g) 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 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 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 Taxes that it deems confidential) to the indemnifying party or any other Person.
(h)Survival. Each party’s obligations under this Section 2.11 shall survive the resignation or replacement of Agent or any assignment of rights by, or the replacement of, Lender, the termination of the commitments and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all obligations under any Loan Document.
(i)Defined Terms. For purposes of this Section 2.11, the term “applicable Legal Requirements” includes FATCA.
12.Reserved.
13.Increased Costs and Capital Adequacy.
(a)Borrowers agree to pay any Lender such additional amounts as are necessary to compensate it for costs incurred in maintaining its portion of the Loan, or any
76
49289660

portion thereof outstanding, or for the reduction of any amounts received or receivable, in either case, as a result of any change in any applicable law, regulation or treaty, or in the interpretation or administration thereof, in each case, which occurs after the date hereof and is applicable to such Lender, by any domestic or foreign Governmental Authority charged with the interpretation or administration thereof (whether or not having the force of law), or by any domestic or foreign court (including, notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act and all requests, rules, guidelines or directives thereunder or issued in connection therewith regardless of the date enacted, adopted or issued (but only to the extent actually implemented)), or any determination of a court or Governmental Authority, in each case that becomes effective after the date hereof, or compliance by such Lender with any guideline, request or directive issued or made after the date hereof by any central bank or other Governmental Authority (whether or not having the force of law and including all requests, rules, guidelines or directives promulgated by the Bank for International Settlements, the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision (or any successor or similar authority) or the United States or foreign regulatory authorities, in each case, pursuant to Basel III, regardless of the date enacted, adopted or issued (but only to the extent actually implemented)), (i) imposing, modifying or applying any reserve, special deposit or similar requirement against assets of, deposits with or for the account of, credit extended by, or any other acquisition of funds for loans by any Lender (whether directly, indirectly or on a portfolio wide basis) or (ii) imposing on any Lender any other condition affecting the Note or the Loan. Such Lender will endeavor to notify Borrowers (with a copy to Agent) of any event occurring after the date hereof which would entitle it to compensation pursuant to this paragraph as soon as practicable after it obtains knowledge of the event and determines to request such compensation (but any failure to so notify shall not reduce the compensation due such Lender), and will designate a new applicable lending office for those portions of the Loan affected by such event if such designation will avoid the need for, or reduce the amount of, such compensation and will not, in such Lender’s reasonable opinion, be disadvantageous to it, provided that such Lender shall have no obligation to so designate the applicable lending office located in the United States. In the event that the additional cost to Borrower pursuant to this Section 2.13(a) is in excess of the lesser of (x) one-half of one percent (0.5%) of the Outstanding Principal Balance per annum or (y) $2,000,000 in any one year, Borrowers shall have the right to prepay the Obligations in full on no less than ninety (90) days’ prior written notice, and no Additional Interest will be payable in connection with any such prepayment by Borrowers.
(b)If any Lender shall determine in good faith that (i) any change in or adoption of, in each case, which occurs after the date hereof, any law, rule, regulation or guideline regarding capital adequacy or the interpretation, administration or application thereof (including, notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, (1) the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act and all requests, rules, guidelines or directives thereunder or issued in connection therewith and (2) all requests, rules, guidelines or directives promulgated by the Bank for International Settlements, the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision (or any successor or similar authority) or the United States or foreign regulatory authorities, in each case, pursuant to Basel III, regardless in the case of clauses (1) and (2) of the date enacted, adopted or issued (but in the case of clauses (1) and (2) only to the extent actually implemented)) or (ii) compliance by any Lender, or any lending office of any Lender, or the holding company of any Lender, with any request or directive regarding capital adequacy (whether or not having the force of law) of any such authority, central bank or comparable agency based on any such change or adoption, has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on any Lender’s capital to a level below that which such Lender would have achieved but for such adoption, change or compliance (taking into consideration the policies of such Lender with respect to capital adequacy), then from time to time Borrowers shall pay to Agent such additional amounts as will compensate Lenders for such actual reduction with respect to any portion of the Loan outstanding. In the event that the additional cost to Borrowers pursuant to this Section 2.13(b) is in excess of the lesser of (x) one-half of one percent (0.5%) of the Outstanding Principal Balance
77
49289660

per annum or (y) $2,000,000 in any one year, Borrowers shall have the right to prepay the Obligations in full on no less than ninety (90) days’ prior written notice, and no Additional Interest will be payable in connection with any such prepayment by Borrowers.
(c)Any amount payable by Borrowers pursuant to Sections 2.13(a) or (b) hereof shall be paid to Agent for the benefit of each affected Lender within ten (10) days of receipt by Borrowers of a certificate of Agent setting forth the amount due and such Lender’s basis for the determination of such amount, which statement shall be conclusive and binding upon Borrowers absent manifest error. Each affected Lender shall endeavor to promptly inform Borrowers of the occurrence of any of the events referred to in this Section 2.13 which shall result in Borrowers being required to make any payments to Agent or such Lender pursuant to this Section 2.13; provided, however, the failure of such Lender to provide such notice shall not excuse Borrowers from their obligations pursuant to this Section 2.13 or provide Borrowers or any other Person the right to claim any damages or to exercise any other rights or remedies against Agent or any Lender; provided, further, that the failure on the part of Agent or any such Lender to demand payment from Borrowers for any such amount attributable to any particular period shall not constitute a waiver of Agent’s or any Lender’s right to demand payment of such amount for that period or any subsequent or prior period.
(d)With respect to any participant or assignee under Article VIII and this Section 2.13 “change in any applicable law, regulation or treaty, or in the interpretation or administration thereof” shall be compared to the law at the time such participant or assignee became a participant or assignee, as the case may be, and not based on the law as of the date hereof.
14.Changes in Law Regarding Taxation of Mortgaged Property. In the event of the passage after the date hereof of any law deducting from the value of real property for the purpose of taxation any Lien or encumbrance thereon or changing in any way the laws for the taxation of deeds of trust, mortgages or debts secured by deeds of trust or mortgages or the manner of the collection of any such taxes, and imposing a tax, either directly or indirectly, on any Note, the Mortgage or any other Loan Document, Borrowers shall to the extent permitted by law pay any tax imposed as a result of any such law plus such amount as shall be sufficient to compensate Lenders for any tax imposed upon it in consequence of any such payment within ten (10) days after demand by Agent, provided, that if, in the reasonable opinion of Agent’s Counsel, Borrowers are not permitted by law to pay such taxes, Agent shall have the right, at its option, by notice to Borrowers, to declare the Loan to be and become due and payable not less than ninety (90) days after the giving of such notice.
15.Usury. This Agreement, the Note and the other Loan Documents are subject to the express condition that at no time shall Borrowers be required to pay interest on the Outstanding Principal Balance at a rate which could subject Agent or any 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, Borrowers are at any time required or obligated to pay interest on the Outstanding Principal Balance at a rate in excess of the Maximum Legal Rate, then the Interest Rate 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 Agent or any Lender for the use, forbearance, or detention of the sums due under the Loan, shall, to the extent permitted by applicable Legal Requirements, 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 from time to time in effect and applicable to the Loan for so long as the Loan is outstanding.
78
49289660

16.Fees.
(a)Borrowers shall pay to Agent the fees and expenses payable in accordance with the terms of the Loan Fee Letter.
(b)Upon any repayment or prepayment of the Loan in full (including in connection with an acceleration of the Loan)(other than pursuant to Section 2.6 hereof), Borrowers shall pay to Agent on the date of such repayment or prepayment (or acceleration of the Loan) the Prepayment Fee. The Prepayment Fee shall be deemed to be earned by Lenders upon the closing of the Loan.
17.Extensions of Term.
(a)Generally. Subject to the conditions set forth in this Section 2.17, Borrowers shall have three (3) options (each, an “Extension Option”) to extend the then existing Maturity Date.

7. No Obligation to do Work. Nothing in this Section 2.20 shall make Agent or any Lender responsible for performing or completing all or any portion of the work to be funded by an Advance or any other portion of the Project.
8.Insufficiency of Loan Proceeds. At any time and from time to time during the term of the Loan, Agent shall have the right (but not the obligation) to notify Borrowers in writing (each, a “Renovation/PIP Costs Shortfall Notice”) that, as determined in Agent’s sole but good faith discretion, the cost of all Approved Renovation/PIP Expenses necessary to achieve Final Completion of both the Phase Zero Renovation Project and PIP Project that remain unpaid at the time in question exceeds the sum of (i) the undisbursed proceeds of the all Phase Zero Renovation Advances and PIP Advances, (ii) amounts on deposit in the Renovation/PIP Costs Rebalancing Reserve Sub-Account and the Key Money Reserve Sub-Account, and (iii) all remaining Future Equity Contributions to be made together therewith (the amount of any such deficiency being herein referred to as the “Renovation/PIP Costs Shortfall”). If Agent at any time shall deliver a Renovation/PIP Costs Shortfall Notice to Borrowers, Borrowers shall fund one hundred percent (100%) of all subsequent Approved Renovation/PIP Expenses out of cash equity funded to Borrowers by the direct and indirect owners of Borrowers and Lender shall have no obligation to fund any Advances until such time as the Renovation/PIP Costs Shortfall no longer exists; provided, that, upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, Borrowers shall be required to deposit funds with Lender in a Sub-Account (the “Renovation/PIP Costs Rebalancing Reserve Sub-Account”) an amount equal to such Renovation/PIP Costs Shortfall (or the remaining portion thereof that has not been previously funded by Borrowers) within ten (10) Business Days of such Event of Default. During an Event of Default, Agent, in its sole discretion, may apply such amounts either to the remaining Approved Renovation/PIP Expenses or to the immediate payment of any Obligations of Borrowers. No Lender shall have any obligation to fund any Advances so long as there are funds on deposit in the Renovation/PIP Costs Rebalancing Reserve.

(i)As soon as available and in any event within thirty (30) days prior to the end of each Fiscal Year, a copy of a proposed Annual Budget for the upcoming Fiscal Year, which, so long as no Cash Sweep Period is in effect, shall be for informational purposes only, and if a Cash Sweep Period is then in effect, such Annual Budget shall require Agent’s prior written approval, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed (provided that with respect to the Hotel Property, so long as a Hotel Management Agreement is in effect, Agent shall have an approval right with respect to the Annual Budget only to the extent Operating Lessee Borrower and/or Hotel Fee Borrower have the right to approve any such budget) (such Annual Budget, as approved by Agent or deemed approved pursuant to this clause (f) (if approval is required), as the same may be amended in accordance with the provisions hereof, the “Approved Annual Budget”). Upon receipt of Agent’s approval of an Annual Budget (or upon an Annual Budget being deemed approved or otherwise created), each Borrower shall deliver to Agent a copy of the Approved Annual Budget, which copy shall be certified by Borrower as the Approved Annual Budget for the applicable Fiscal Year. Agent acknowledges and agrees that on or prior to the Closing Date, each Borrower submitted to Agent the Annual Budget for the balance of 2024 and the Annual Budget for 2025 attached hereto as Schedule IV, which Agent has approved as an initial “Approved Annual Budget”. In addition, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section
110
49289660

5.1(f), upon entry into a Replacement Hotel Management Agreement, Hotel Fee Borrower shall deliver to Agent an updated Annual Budget for the remainder of the then applicable year, which such Annual Budget shall require Agent’s prior written approval, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed (and for purposes of emphasis, such approval shall be required whether a Cash Sweep Period is in effect or not).
(ii)At any time Agent’s prior approval is required for an Annual Budget in accordance herewith, until such time that Agent approves a proposed Annual Budget (or a proposed Annual Budget is deemed approved), the most recently Approved Annual Budget which has actually been approved or deemed approved by Agent shall apply for the next Fiscal Year, as the same may be Modified by Borrower in accordance with this Section 5.1(f). Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of a Cash Sweep Period, upon Lender’s request, each Borrower shall deliver, on a quarterly basis (or cause the Hotel Manager to prepare for delivery to Agent) an updated Annual Budget, which shall be subject to the approval of Agent, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed (provided that with respect to the Hotel Property, so long as a Hotel Management Agreement is in effect, Agent shall have an approval right with respect to the Annual Budget only to the extent Operating Lessee Borrower and/or Hotel Fee Borrower have the right to approve any such budget). With respect to each Approved Annual Budget, such Borrower shall be permitted to Modify such Approved Annual Budget, without Agent’s prior review or approval, to make changes in budget line items in any such Approved Annual Budget (i) to account for increases in Taxes, Insurance Premiums and utilities expenses and (ii) to increase any such budget line item by up to ten percent (10%); provided, that, in no event shall the aggregate amount of all such changes pursuant to this clause (ii) result in increases exceeding five percent (5%) of the aggregate amount set forth in the most recent Approved Annual Budget without Agent’s approval. In the event any Borrower fails to deliver the information required under this clause (f) within the time period provided, such failure shall not constitute an Event of Default unless such Borrower fails to provide such information within thirty (30) days after Borrower has received written notice of such failure from Agent. Except as expressly set forth in this clause (f), no Borrower shall Modify any Approved Annual Budget unless a copy of such Modification is delivered to Agent at least twenty (20) days prior to the effectiveness thereof and is approved by Agent, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. In addition, each Borrower shall deliver a copy of any new, Modified or updated Approved Annual Budget, if any, within twenty (20) days after the effectiveness thereof. Each request for approval of the Annual Budget or any Modification thereof shall contain a legend in capitalized bold letters on the top of the cover page stating: “THIS IS A REQUEST FOR CONSENT TO AN ANNUAL BUDGET OR A MODIFICATION OF AN ANNUAL BUDGET. AGENT’S RESPONSE IS REQUESTED WITHIN TEN (10) BUSINESS DAYS. AGENT’S FAILURE TO RESPOND WITHIN SUCH TIME PERIOD SHALL RESULT IN AGENT’S APPROVAL BEING DEEMED TO HAVE BEEN GRANTED.” In the event that Agent fails to grant or withhold its approval to any Annual Budget or Modification within such ten (10) Business Day period and such Borrower gives a duplicate notice upon the expiration of such ten (10) Business Day period in similar fashion providing that the failure to respond within five (5) Business Days of receipt of such second notice shall constitute deemed approval and Agent shall fail to respond to such second notice, then Agent’s approval shall be deemed to have been granted; provided, however that for so long as the “Agent” under this Agreement is Deutsche Bank or one of its Affiliates, there shall be no deemed approval under this Section 5.1(f), and any Annual Budget that requires Agent’s consent under this Agreement shall require the actual consent of Deutsche Bank or its applicable Affiliate. In the case of a withholding of consent, Agent shall state the grounds therefor.

Borrowers shall be permitted to terminate without Agent’s prior consent (i) any Lease that is not a Material Lease and (ii) any Material Lease in connection with a monetary or material non-monetary default (after giving effect to any all applicable cure and grace periods) by the Lessee thereunder, as long as in each case, such termination would not result in any Borrower’s default under the subject Lease. With respect to any Material Leases that do not already provide for the Lessee to subordinate to the Mortgage, Agent may, in its sole discretion, require a subordination non-disturbance and attornment agreement in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Agent. If requested by Borrowers, Agent agrees to enter into a subordination non-disturbance and attornment agreement, on Agent’s standard form together with customary modifications requested by the Lessee, with respect to any Material Lease.
(b)Any Leasing Action that requires Agent’s consent shall be delivered to Agent for approval not less than ten (10) Business Days prior to the effective date of such Leasing Action, together with all other materials reasonably necessary in order to evaluate such Leasing Action. Each such request for approval and consent shall contain a legend in capitalized bold letters on the top of the cover page stating: “THIS IS A REQUEST FOR CONSENT TO A LEASING ACTION. AGENT’S RESPONSE IS REQUESTED WITHIN TEN (10) BUSINESS DAYS. AGENT’S FAILURE TO RESPOND WITHIN SUCH TIME PERIOD SHALL RESULT IN AGENT’S CONSENT BEING DEEMED TO HAVE BEEN GRANTED.” In the event that Agent fails to grant or withhold its approval and consent to such Leasing Action within such ten (10) Business Day period and Borrowers give a duplicate notice upon the expiration of such ten (10) Business Day period in similar fashion providing that the failure to respond within five (5) Business Days of receipt of such second notice shall constitute deemed approval and Agent shall fail to respond to such notices, then Agent’s approval and consent shall be deemed to have been granted; provided, however that for so long as the “Agent” under this Agreement is Deutsche Bank or one of its Affiliates, there shall be no deemed consent under this Section 5.10(b), and any Leasing Action that requires Agent’s consent under this Agreement shall require the actual consent of Deutsche Bank or its applicable Affiliate. In the case of a withholding of consent, Agent shall state the grounds therefor.

153
49289660

Event of Default, Agent may, by notice to Borrowers, declare the indebtedness evidenced by the Note, together with all other sums payable thereunder and under the other Loan Documents, immediately due and payable (except with respect to any event of the nature described in Section 7.1(f) or (g), with respect to which such indebtedness and all other such sums shall automatically become due and payable upon the occurrence of any such event) and may exercise Agent’s rights and remedies pursuant to any one or more of the Security Documents, the other Loan Documents or as may be available at law or equity.
3.Agent’s Right to Complete; Sums Advanced.
(a)Agent’s Right to Complete.

4.Reserved.
5.Collateral Accounts. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein but subject to Legal Requirements, after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, the rights of Borrowers and each and every other Person (excluding Agent) with respect to the Collateral Accounts, upon notice to Borrowers, shall immediately terminate, and no such Person (excluding Agent) shall make any further withdrawal therefrom. Thereafter, Agent may from time to time designate such signatories with respect to the Collateral Accounts as Agent may desire, and may make or authorize withdrawals from the Collateral Accounts to pay the Obligations in whole or in part and/or pay operating expenses and capital expenditures with respect to the Mortgaged Property and/or any other expenses, all as Agent may deem necessary or appropriate and in such order as Agent may elect. Agent may notify the financial institutions in which any Collateral Account is held that Borrowers no longer have a right to instruct such financial institution with respect to matters relating to the withdrawal, operation or administration of, or investment or application of funds on deposit in such Collateral Account. Without limiting the foregoing, Agent shall have the right to cause the withdrawal of all funds on deposit in any Collateral Account and the deposit of such funds in an account established with Agent at any time following receipt by the financial institution in which such Collateral Account is held of a notice from Agent pursuant to the Account Agreement with respect to such Collateral Account, and Borrowers hereby authorize and direct such financial institutions to make payment directly to Agent of the funds in or credited to such accounts, or such part thereof as Agent may request. Such financial institution shall have the absolute right to rely upon such notice without inquiring as to the accuracy of the matters referred to in such notice and the depositories shall be
154
49289660

fully protected by Borrowers in relying upon such notice from Agent. In the event that Agent delivers such a notice, Agent shall thereafter have the exclusive right to so instruct such financial institution. Nothing in this Section 7.5 shall be construed so as to limit or impair Agent’s absolute right to have a receiver appointed following an Event of Default.
6.No Liability of Agent or Lenders. Whether or not Agent elects to employ any or all of the remedies pursuant to the Loan Documents or otherwise available to it at law or equity upon the occurrence of a Default or an Event of Default, neither Agent nor any Lender shall be liable with respect to any rights or obligations of Borrower or its Affiliates, including the rights and obligations of Borrowers in and to any Leases or to protect the Mortgaged Property or any of the other Collateral, or for payment of any expense incurred in connection with the exercise of any remedy available to Agent or Lenders or for the performance or non-performance of any other obligation of Borrowers. It is expressly understood that Agent and Lenders assume no liability or responsibility for (i) performance of any duties of any Borrower or any other Credit Party hereunder or under any of the other Loan Documents, the Hotel Management Agreement, the Garage Management Agreement, any Permitted Encumbrances, or any Lease, (ii) compliance with any Legal Requirements or any Permitted Encumbrances or (iii) any other matters pertaining to control over the management and affairs of any Borrower or any other Credit Party or the operation, management or ownership of the Mortgaged Property, nor by any such action shall Agent and Lenders be deemed to create a partnership or joint venture with any Borrower or any other Credit Party.
7.Management Agreement. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, in addition to any other rights or remedies of Agent hereunder or under the other Loan Documents, Agent may exercise any rights and remedies available to Agent pursuant to the applicable Manager Subordination Agreement, if in effect and/or may require that Borrowers exercise any rights and remedies available to Borrower pursuant to any Management Agreement including the termination thereof, subject to the provisions of the applicable Manager Subordination Agreement. Upon a foreclosure or deed in lieu of foreclosure with respect to all or any portion of the Mortgaged Property, Agent shall have the right to exercise all rights and remedies pursuant to and as and upon the terms described in any Management Agreement and/or the Manager Subordination Agreement.
8.Set-Off. In addition to any rights and remedies of the Lenders provided by law, if an Event of Default exists, with the prior written consent of Agent (in its sole and absolute discretion), each Lender is authorized at any time and from time to time, without prior notice to the Borrower, any such notice being waived by the Borrowers to the fullest extent permitted by law, to set off and apply in favor of the Lenders any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final) at any time held by, and other indebtedness at any time owing to, such Lender to or for the credit or the account of the Borrowers against any and all Obligations owing to the Lenders, now or hereafter existing, irrespective of whether or not the Agent or such Lender shall have made demand under this Agreement or any Loan Document and although such Obligations may be contingent or unmatured. Without limiting the foregoing, and notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement or any other Loan Document, no Lender, any assignee of a Lender, participant or Affiliate thereof shall proceed directly, by right of set-off, banker’s lien, counterclaim or otherwise, against any assets of Borrowers or any Credit Party (including any general or special, time or demand, provisional or other deposits or other indebtedness owing by such Persons to or for the credit or the account of any Borrower or any Credit Party) for the purpose of applying such assets against the Obligations, without the prior written consent of Agent (in its sole and absolute discretion). Any attempt by a Lender to exercise any such rights, whether purportedly under any authority granted pursuant to the Loan Documents or on account of any other legal or equitable right or theory, without first obtaining the prior written consent of Agent (in its sole and absolute discretion) shall be void, of no force or effect, and shall not have any effect on (and under no circumstances
155
49289660

shall be applied in respect of) any outstanding Obligations hereunder. Agent agrees promptly to (i) notify the Borrowers after any such authorized set-off and application made by a Lender; provided, however, that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such set-off and application and (ii) any Lender exercising such set-off rights in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, shall pay such amounts that are set-off to the Agent for the ratable benefit of the Lenders.
9.Termination of Loan Agreement. Subject to Section 10.25, the obligations of Borrowers hereunder, excluding those which expressly or by the nature thereof survive the termination hereof or repayment of the Loan, shall terminate only upon repayment in full of the Outstanding Principal Balance of the Loan, together with all interest and other indebtedness due and payable in connection therewith, and all other outstanding Obligations.
10.Interest Rate Protection Agreement. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, in addition to any other rights or remedies of Agent hereunder or under the other Loan Documents, Agent may exercise all rights and remedies of Agent as a secured party with respect to the security interest of Agent or Lenders in any Interest Rate Protection Agreement or which otherwise arise pursuant to the Loan Documents. Without limiting the foregoing, Agent may cause any Interest Rate Protection Agreement to be terminated or otherwise direct Borrowers’ counterparty under any Interest Rate Protection Agreement to take such actions or omit to take such actions as Agent shall determine. Borrowers covenant and agree to reimburse and indemnify Agent and Lenders for any termination or breakage costs Agent or Lenders may incur as a result of any such termination.
11.Cash Collateral. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, in addition to any other rights or remedies of Agent hereunder or under the other Loan Documents, Agent may apply any cash collateral provided in connection with any Alterations to the Obligations, in such order and manner as Agent may elect in its sole and absolute discretion.
12.Guarantor Cure Right. Notwithstanding any provision of the Loan Documents to the contrary, if any Default or Event of Default results from the failure of Guarantor to satisfy the Guarantor Financial Covenants, the same shall be deemed to not constitute a Default or Event of Default hereunder or under the other Loan Documents if, within forty-five (45) days after obtaining knowledge of such Default or Event of Default, an Approved Guarantor, together with Guarantor, as applicable, satisfies the Guarantor Financial Covenants on a standalone or combined basis, as applicable (so long as neither the Guarantor (if it is remaining a Guarantor) nor the Approved Guarantor is the subject of any bankruptcy or other insolvency proceeding) and satisfies the Approved Guarantor Conditions.

proposed assignee or participant other than to their respective employees, directors, officers, advisors or agents who need that information and agree to be bound by the provisions of this Section 8.2. Without the consent of Borrowers, neither Agent nor any Lender shall deliver to any third party any non-public information relating to Borrowers or any other Credit Party which (a) has been received by Agent or any Lender from Borrowers or any other Credit Party or from Agent and (b) Borrowers or such other Credit Party or Agent has advised Agent or such Lender in writing that the same is confidential, however, information may be disclosed by Agent or any Lender pursuant to the first sentence of this Section 8.2 and in the event that any of them becomes required by law, regulation or legal or regulatory process or is requested by a governmental agency or self-regulatory organization (collectively, “Law”) to disclose information; provided that Agent or Lender, as applicable, will, to the extent not prohibited by Law, provide Borrowers with prompt notice of such requirement or request so that Borrowers, at its sole expense, may seek a protective order or other appropriate remedy, or waive Agent’s or such Lender’s, as applicable, compliance with the provisions of this Agreement, or both. In the event Borrowers fail to obtain a protective order or other appropriate remedy, or if Borrowers waive compliance with the terms of this Agreement, Agent or such Lender may, without liability under this Agreement, disclose that portion of such information that its counsel advises is so required or requested by Law to be disclosed.
3.Severance.
1.Severance Documentation.     Agent, without in any way limiting Agent’s and Lender’s other rights hereunder, in its sole and absolute discretion, shall have the right, at any time (whether prior to or after any Secondary Market Transaction), to require Borrowers to execute and deliver “component” notes and/or one or more substitute notes evidencing the portion of the Loan held by a particular Lender (and the term “Note” as used in this Agreement and in all the other Loan Documents shall include all such component notes and/or substitute notes but shall exclude any Note replaced by the same), and/or modify the Loan in order to create one or more senior and subordinate notes (e.g., an A/B or A/B/C structure) or pari passu notes and/or one or more additional components of the Note or Notes, reduce the number of components of the Note, revise the interest rate for each component, reallocate the principal balances of the Note and/or the components, increase or decrease the monthly debt service payments for each component or eliminate the component structure and/or the multiple note structure of the Loan (including the elimination of the related allocations of principal and interest payments); provided, that, notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, in no case shall Borrowers be required to make (nor shall Lender be permitted to make) any Prohibited Changes.

average interest rate effective immediately prior to such modification or the amortization of principal as set forth herein or in the Note (provided that such weighted average interest rate may thereafter change to reflect any implementation of the Default Rate after principal payments and/or the application of Net Insurance Proceeds pursuant hereto), (b) alter the rights or benefits or increase the obligations or liabilities of Borrowers or Guarantor under the Loan Documents (other than to a de minimis extent), or (c) modify or amend any other economic or other term of the Loan (other than to a de minimis extent) and (II) create a mezzanine loan (i.e., a loan with pledged equity as collateral) or a preferred equity investment arrangement (the changes described in the foregoing clauses (I) and (II) being collectively referred to as “Prohibited Changes”). In the event Borrowers fail to execute and deliver such documents to Agent within five (5) Business Days following such request by Agent, Borrowers hereby absolutely and irrevocably appoint Agent 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 such transactions, Borrowers hereby ratifying all that such attorney shall do by virtue thereof (provided that notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, Lender shall not be permitted to make any Prohibited Changes). It shall be an Event of Default under this Agreement, the Note, the Mortgage and the other Loan Documents if Borrowers fail to comply with any of the terms, covenants or conditions of this Section 8.3 after expiration of five (5) Business Days after notice thereof.
4.Costs and Expenses. In connection with any Secondary Market Transaction, Borrowers shall be responsible for their own costs and expenses (including legal fees) incurred in connection with such Secondary Market Transaction and for the reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred by Agent and Lender; provided, however, that notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, with respect to any Secondary Market Transaction, Borrowers shall not be required to pay or incur costs and expenses covered by this Section 8.4 (whether costs or expenses of Borrowers or Agent and Lenders, and including costs pursuant to clause (C) of Section 8.1(b)(ii)) in excess of $50,000.
5.Register.
(a)Loan Register. Agent, acting solely for this purpose as an agent of Borrowers, shall maintain at one of its offices in the United States a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of Lenders, and the principal amounts (and stated interest) of the Loans (or portions thereof) owing to each Lender pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time and each repayment with respect to the principal amount (and stated interest) of the Loan of each Lender (the “Register”). Failure to make any such recordation, or any error in such recordation shall not affect Borrowers’, Agent’s or any Lender’s obligations in respect of the Loan. Without limiting the terms and provisions of Section 8.1 hereof, no assignment, sale, negotiation, pledge, hypothecation or other transfer of any part of any Lender’s interest in and to the Loan shall be effective until such Lender shall have provided Agent with written notice of such transfer and Agent shall have registered such assignee’s name and address in the Register. The entries in the Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and Borrowers, Agent and Lender may treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement, notwithstanding notice to the contrary. The Register shall be available for inspection by Borrowers and any Lender, at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice. Lender hereby agrees to indemnify Agent and to hold Agent harmless from any actions, suits, claims, demands, liabilities, losses, damages, obligations and actual costs and expenses which Lender sustains or incurs as a consequence of Agent maintaining the Registry, except to the extent such loss or expense is caused by Agent’s fraud or willful misconduct.
159
49289660

(b)Participant Registry. Borrowers agree that each participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 2.13 (subject to the requirements and limitations therein, including the requirements under Section 2.13 (it being understood that the documentation required under Section 2.13 shall be delivered to the participating Lender)) to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to Section 8.1; provided that such participant shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Section 2.13, with respect to any participation, than its participating Lender would have been entitled to receive, except to the extent such entitlement to receive a greater payment results from a Regulatory Change that occurs after the participant acquired the applicable participation. Each Lender that sells a participation interest in the Loan shall, acting solely for this purpose as an agent of Borrowers, maintain a register on which it enters the name and address of each participant and the principal amounts (and stated interest) of each participant’s interest in the Loans or other obligations under the Loan Documents (the “Participant Register”); provided that no Lender shall have any obligation to disclose all or any portion of the Participant Register (including the identity of any participant or any information relating to a participant’s interest in the Loan or its other obligations under any Loan Document) to any Person except to the extent that such disclosure is necessary to establish that the Loan or other obligation is in registered form under Section 5f.103-1(c) of the United States Treasury Regulations. The entries in the Participant Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and such Lender shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Participant Register as the owner of such participation for all purposes of this Agreement notwithstanding any notice to the contrary. For the avoidance of doubt, Agent (in its capacity as Agent) shall have no responsibility for maintaining a Participant Register.
(c)This Section 8.5, the Register and the Participant Register are intended to be construed so that the Note is at all times maintained in “registered form” within the meaning of Section 5f.103-1(c) of the United States Treasury Regulations (or any other successor provision of such regulations).
Article IX
AGENT AND LENDERS
1.Appointment.
(a)Each Lender hereby irrevocably designates and appoints Agent as the agent of such Lender under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, including acting as collateral agent for Lenders under the Loan Documents, or any of them. Each such Lender irrevocably authorizes Agent, as the agent for such Lender, to take such action on its behalf and in Agent’s designated capacity under the provisions of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and to exercise such powers and perform such duties as are expressly delegated to Agent by the terms of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, together with such other powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. So long as no Event of Default exists and Deutsche Bank AG, New York Branch owns twenty-five percent (25%) or more of the Loan, Deutsche Bank AG, New York Branch or an Affiliate of Deutsche Bank AG, New York Branch shall remain as Agent (unless removed for cause or required to resign for cause as Agent by the Lenders pursuant to the terms of the Co-Lender Agreement). Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary elsewhere in this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, Agent shall not have any duties or responsibilities, except those expressly set forth herein or therein, or any fiduciary relationship with any Lender, and no implied covenants, functions, responsibilities, duties,
160
49289660

obligations or liabilities shall be read into this Agreement or any other Loan Document or otherwise exist against Agent and in favor of Lenders.
(b)No individual Lender or group of Lenders shall have any right to modify or waive, or consent to the departure of any party from any provision of any Loan Document, or secure or enforce the Obligations. All such rights, on behalf of Agent or any Lender or Lenders, shall be held and exercised solely by and at the option of Agent for the pro-rata benefit of Lenders. Except as expressly otherwise provided in this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, Agent shall have and may use its sole discretion with respect to exercising or refraining from exercising any discretionary rights or taking or refraining from taking any actions which Agent is expressly entitled to exercise or take under this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, including (i) the determination if and to what extent matters or items subject to Agent’s satisfaction are acceptable or otherwise within its discretion, and (ii) the exercise of remedies under this Agreement or any other Loan Document, and any action so taken or not taken shall be deemed consented to by Lenders.
(c)In case of the pendency of any bankruptcy, receivership, insolvency, liquidation, reorganization, arrangement, adjustment, composition or other judicial proceeding relative to any Borrower, Guarantor or any Affiliate of any Borrower or Guarantor, no individual Lender or group of Lenders shall have the right, and Agent (irrespective of whether the principal of the Loan shall then be due and payable as herein expressed or by declaration or otherwise and irrespective of whether Agent shall have made any demand on Borrowers) shall be exclusively entitled and empowered on behalf of itself and Lenders, by intervention in such proceeding or otherwise:
(i)to file and prove a claim for the whole amount of the principal and interest owing and unpaid in respect of the Loan and all other Obligations that are owing and unpaid and to file such other documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of Lenders and Agent (including any claim for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of Lenders and Agent and their respective agents and counsel) and all other amounts due Lenders and Agent hereunder allowed in such judicial proceeding; and
(ii)to collect and receive any monies or other property payable or deliverable on any such claims and to distribute the same; and any custodian, receiver, assignee, trustee, liquidator, conservator, sequestrator or other similar official in any such judicial proceeding is hereby authorized by each Lender to make such payments to Agent and, in the event that Agent shall consent to the making of such payments directly to Lenders, to pay to Agent any amount due for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of Agent and its agents and counsel, and any other amounts due Agent hereunder. Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to authorize Agent to authorize or consent to or accept or adopt on behalf of any Lender any plan of reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition affecting the Obligations or the rights of Lenders except as approved by Lenders or to authorize Agent to vote in respect of the claims of Lenders except as approved by Lenders in any such proceeding.
2.Delegation of Duties. Agent may execute any of its duties under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents by or through agents or attorneys-in-fact and shall be entitled to receive and rely upon advice of counsel concerning all matters pertaining to such duties. Agent shall not be responsible for the negligence or misconduct of any agents or attorneys-in-fact selected by it with reasonable care.
3.Exculpatory Provisions. Neither Agent nor any of its officers, directors, employees, agents, attorneys-in-fact or affiliates shall be (i) liable for any action lawfully taken
161
49289660

or omitted to be taken by it or such Person or Persons under or in connection with this Agreement or any other Loan Document (except to the extent that any of the foregoing are found by a final and nonappealable decision of a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from its or such Person or Persons’ own gross negligence or willful misconduct) or (ii) responsible in any manner to any Lender for any recitals, statements, representations or warranties made by any Borrower or Guarantor or any officer thereof contained in any Loan Document or in any certificate, report, statement or other document referred to or provided for in, or received by Agent under or in connection with, this Agreement or any other Loan Document or for the value, validity, effectiveness, genuineness, enforceability or sufficiency of this Agreement or any other Loan Document or for any failure of any Borrower or Guarantor to perform its obligations thereunder. Agent shall not be under any obligation to any Lender to ascertain or to inquire as to the observance or performance of any of the agreements contained in, or conditions of, this Agreement or any other Loan Document, or to inspect the properties, books or records of any Borrower or Guarantor.
4.Reliance by Agent. Agent shall be entitled to rely, and shall be fully protected in relying, upon any note, instrument, writing, resolution, notice, consent, certificate, certification, affidavit, letter, facsimile message, statement, order or other document or conversation believed by it to be genuine and correct and to have been signed, sent or made by the proper Person or Persons and upon advice and statements of legal counsel (including, without limitation, counsel to the parties to the Loan), independent accountants and other experts selected by Agent. Agent shall take any and all direction with regard to administration of the Loan Documents from Lenders holding such portion of the Loan as may be agreed by Lenders in any Co-Lender Agreement. Agent may deem and treat the payee of any Note as the owner thereof for all purposes unless such Note shall have been transferred in accordance with this Agreement and all actions required in connection with such transfer shall have been taken. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein: Agent shall be fully justified in failing or refusing to take any action under this Agreement or any other Loan Document unless it shall first receive such advice or concurrence of one hundred percent (100%) of Lenders (or any other instructing group of Lenders specified by this Agreement or by a separate agreement between Agent and any of the Lenders) as it deems appropriate or it shall first be indemnified to its satisfaction by Lenders against any and all liability and expense that may be incurred by it by reason of taking or continuing to take any such action. Agent shall in all cases be fully protected in acting, or in refraining from acting, under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents in accordance with a request of Lenders as may be directed under the Co-Lender Agreement and such request and any action taken or failure to act pursuant thereto shall be binding upon all Lenders and all future holders of all or any interest in the Loan.
5.Notice of Default. Agent shall not be deemed to have knowledge or notice of the occurrence of any Default or Event of Default hereunder or under any of the other Loan Documents unless Agent shall have received notice from a Lender or Borrowers, referring to the Loan Documents, describing such Default or Event of Default and stating that such notice is a “notice of default”. In the event that Agent receives such a notice and a Default has occurred, Agent shall promptly give notice thereof to Lenders. Agent shall take such action with respect to such Default or Event of Default as may be agreed by Agent and Lenders separately in any Co-Lender Agreement; provided that unless and until Agent shall have received such directions, Agent may (but shall not be obligated to) take such action, or refrain from taking such action, with respect to such Default or Event of Default as it shall deem advisable in the best interests of Lenders.
6.Non-Reliance on Agent and Other Lenders. Each Lender expressly acknowledges that neither Agent nor any of its respective officers, directors, employees, agents, attorneys-in-fact or Affiliates have made any representations or warranties to it and that no act by Agent hereafter taken, including any review of the affairs of any Borrower or Guarantor or any Affiliate
162
49289660

of any Borrower or Guarantor, shall be deemed to constitute any representation or warranty by Agent to any Lender. Each Lender represents to Agent that it has, independently and without reliance upon Agent or any other Lender, and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own appraisal of an investigation into the business, operations, property, financial and other condition and creditworthiness of the Credit Parties and their Affiliates and made its own decision to make its Ratable Share of the Loan hereunder and enter into this Agreement. Each Lender also represents that it will, independently and without reliance upon Agent or any other Lender, and based on such documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own credit analysis, appraisals and decisions in taking or not taking action under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and to make such investigation as it deems necessary to inform itself as to the business, operations, property, financial and other condition and creditworthiness of the parties to the Loan and their Affiliates. Except for notices, reports and other documents expressly required to be furnished to Lenders by Agent hereunder, Agent shall not have any duty or responsibility to provide any Lender with any credit or other information concerning the business, operations, property, condition (financial or otherwise), prospects or creditworthiness of any Credit Party or any Affiliate of any Credit Party that may come into the possession of Agent or any of its officers, directors, employees, agents, attorneys-in-fact or Affiliates.
7.Indemnification. Lenders agree to indemnify Agent in its capacity as such (to the extent not reimbursed by Borrowers and without limiting the obligation of Borrowers to do so to the extent required pursuant to the other provisions of this Agreement), ratably according to their respective Ratable Share on the date on which indemnification is sought under this Section 9.7 (or, if indemnification is sought after the date upon which the Loan shall have been paid in full, ratably in accordance with such Ratable Share immediately prior to such date), for, and to save Agent harmless from and against, any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind whatsoever which may at any time (including, without limitation, at any time following the payment of the Obligations) be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against Agent in any way relating to or arising out of, the Loan, this Agreement, any of the other Loan Documents or any documents contemplated by or referred to herein or therein or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby or any action taken or omitted by Agent under or in connection with any of the foregoing; provided that no Lender shall be liable for the payment of any portion of such liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements that are found by a final and nonappealable decision of a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from Agent’s gross negligence or willful misconduct. The provisions of this Section 9.7 shall survive the payment of the Obligations and the termination of this Agreement.
8.Agent in Its Individual Capacity. Agent and its Affiliates may make loans to, accept deposits from and generally engage in any kind of business with any Credit Party or any Affiliate of any Credit Party as though Agent were not an agent hereunder. With respect to the Ratable Share of the Loan made or held by it at any time, Agent shall have the same rights and powers under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents as any Lender and may exercise the same as though it were not an agent, and the terms “Lender” and “Lenders” shall include Agent in its individual capacity.
9.Appraisals. Agent may, at its option, commission one or more new and/or updated appraisals from time to time after the Closing Date; provided, however, that Borrowers shall only be required to reimburse Agent for such new and/or updated appraisal (A) not more than one (1) time annually unless an Event of Default is continuing, (B) in connection with Section 2.17 hereof, (C) in connection with a Secondary Market Transaction (but subject to Section 8.4) and (D) at any time such appraisal is required by applicable Legal Requirements or regulatory requirements.
163
49289660

10.Ratable Share. (i) The liabilities of Lenders shall be several and not joint, (ii) no Lender shall be responsible for the obligations of any other Lender, and (iii) each Lender shall be liable to Borrowers only for its respective Ratable Share of the Loan. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, all indemnities by Borrower and obligations for costs, expenses, damages or advances set forth herein shall run to and benefit each Lender in accordance with its Ratable Share.
11.Reserved.
12.Co-Lender Agreement.
(a)    Each Borrower hereby acknowledges and agrees that, subject to the terms set forth in Section 9.12(b), Lender, any other Lenders and Agent may at any time and from time to time enter into one or more agreements (any such agreement as the same may be modified, amended, restated supplemented or replaced from time to time, a “Co-Lender Agreement”) governing the relationship between such parties, including, without limitation, the rights of Lenders as among themselves and the manner in which Agent shall administer the Loan. Each Borrower acknowledges and agrees that Agent’s discretion under this Agreement or the other Loan Documents may be subject to the limitations in any such Co-Lender Agreements, including the requirement that Agent obtain approval of a specified percentage of Lenders or all of the Lenders prior to granting certain consents or approvals or taking certain actions under this Agreement and under the other Loan Documents. Any Co-Lender Agreement is intended and will be solely for the benefit of Agent and the applicable Lenders, and each Borrower acknowledges and agrees that neither any Credit Party nor any other Person shall be a third-party beneficiary (intended or otherwise) of any of the provisions therein, or have any rights thereunder or be entitled to rely on any of the provisions contained therein. Neither Agent nor any Lenders shall have any obligation to provide a copy of any Co-Lender Agreement to any Borrower Related Party or any Affiliate of any Borrower Related Party or to disclose to any Borrower Related Party or any Affiliate of any Borrower Related Party the contents of any Co-Lender Agreement. The Credit Party’s obligations under the Loan Documents are and will be independent of any Co-Lender Agreement and shall remain unmodified by the provisions thereof (although Borrower acknowledges that with respect to certain approvals, calculations and other decisions hereunder, any Co-Lender Agreement may (subject to the terms set forth in Section 9.12(b)) require Agent to consult with or receive the approval of one or more Lenders prior to providing its own approval or determination regarding the same).
    (b)    Agent agrees that in the event that Agent enters into a Co-Lender Agreement after the date hereof, such Co-Lender Agreement shall not include any (I) Unanimous Decisions (as defined below) other than those listed on Exhibit E attached hereto (although, for the avoidance of doubt, (a) not all of the decisions specified on Exhibit E attached hereto will necessarily be unanimous decisions in such Co-Lender Agreement (and some may be Required Lender Decisions (as defined below)) at any given time, and (b) the terminology of the decisions set forth in any such Co-Lender Agreement may differ from the precise terminology set forth on Exhibit E attached hereto, and, in particular, there may exist certain exceptions to any Unanimous Decision which renders such a decision not to be a Unanimous Decision) or (II) Required Lender Decisions other than those listed on Exhibit F attached hereto (although, for the avoidance of doubt, (a) not all of the decisions specified on Exhibit F attached hereto will
164
49289660

necessarily be Required Lender Decisions in such Co-Lender Agreement, and (b) the terminology of the decisions set forth in such Co-Lender Agreement may differ from the precise terminology set forth on Exhibit F attached hereto, and, in particular, there may exist certain exceptions to any Required Lender Decision which renders such a decision not to be a Required Lender Decision). Borrowers acknowledge and agree that upon not less than five (5) Business Days’ prior written notice to Borrowers (an “Update Notice”), but without any consent right of Borrowers thereto, in connection with the execution of any Co-Lender Agreement, Lenders and Agent may update such Exhibit F to amend, modify, supplement, limit, caveat, add, and/or delete any Required Lender Decision (it being agreed that, from and after the expiration of such five (5) Business Day period, the then current Exhibit F shall be deemed deleted in full as an exhibit to this Agreement and replaced in full with the new Exhibit F, included in the Update Notice).
13.Future Funding Obligations. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the parties acknowledge that the Loan may be severed into one or more component notes where one Lender (the “Future Funding Lender”) retains the obligations of the Lender hereunder to fund any Advances (the “Future Funding Obligations”). The Future Funding Obligations will be solely the obligation of Future Funding Lender and will not be transferred or assigned to any subsequent holder of the applicable Note(s) (the “Holder”), including the Servicer and any trust or trustee or substituted or successor trustee established in connection with any Secondary Market Transaction. No Holder other than Future Funding Lender shall have any liability with respect to the Future Funding Obligations.
14.Modifications to Article IX. Borrowers, Agent and Lenders acknowledge and agree that the provisions of this Article IX (other than Section 9.12(b) and the third sentence of Section 9.1(a)) solely govern the relationship among Lenders and Agent and do not alter or otherwise modify the provisions of this Agreement applicable to Borrowers or otherwise apply to Borrowers. The provisions of this Article IX may be modified without Borrowers’ consent so long as such modifications do not alter any of Borrowers’ rights or obligations under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents or otherwise alter the economic terms of the Loan or the Loan Documents in any manner.
15.Successor Agents. Agent may resign as Agent under the Loan Documents upon notice to Lenders and Borrowers. If Agent shall resign, then Lender shall appoint a successor Agent. The term “Agent” shall mean each such successor Agent, effective upon its appointment, and the former Agent’s rights, powers and duties as Agent shall be terminated, without any other or further act or deed on the part of such former Agent or any of the parties to this Agreement or any of the Loan Documents or successors thereto. After any retiring Agent’s resignation hereunder as Agent, the provisions of the Loan Documents shall inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was an Agent under the Loan Documents. In no event shall there be more than one Agent hereunder.
16.Limitation on Agent’s Liability. No syndication agents, arranger, or book running manager, in such capacities, shall have any right, power, obligation, liability, responsibility or duty under this Agreement.

No failure or delay on the part of Agent or any Lender in exercising any right, power or remedy hereunder or under or in connection with this Agreement or the other Loan Documents or to insist upon the strict performance of any term of this Agreement or any other Loan Document shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right, power or remedy preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or remedy under or in connection with this Agreement or any other Loan Document.
3.Agent’s Review. Observation, inspection and approvals by or on behalf of Agent shall impose no responsibility or liability of any nature whatsoever on Agent, any Lender and no Person shall, under any circumstances, be entitled to rely upon such observations, inspections and approvals by Agent for any reason, except that the condition or requirement that such observation or inspection be done or approval be obtained may be considered by Borrowers as having been satisfied once such observation or inspection is performed or approval is obtained, as the case may be.
4.Submission of Evidence. Any condition of this Agreement which requires the submission of evidence of the existence or non-existence of a specified fact or facts implies as a condition the existence or non-existence, as the case may be, of such fact or facts, and Agent shall, at all times, be free to independently establish to its satisfaction such existence or non-existence.

No Person other than Agent and Lenders shall be deemed to be beneficiary of the terms, provisions, covenants and other conditions of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, any or all of which may be freely waived, in whole or in part, by Agent at any time if Agent deems it advisable or desirable to do so.
6.Third Party Beneficiaries.

7.Entire Agreement. This Agreement and the other Loan Documents embody the entire agreement and understanding among Borrowers, the other Credit Parties, Agent and Lenders with respect to the Loan and supersede and cancel all prior loan applications, expressions of interest, commitments, agreements and understandings, whether oral or written, relating to the subject matter hereof, except as specifically agreed in writing to the contrary.

9.Further Assurances; Filing of Financing Statements. Borrowers shall promptly execute and acknowledge (or cause to be executed and acknowledged), and deliver all documents, instruments and agreements, and take all actions, reasonably required by Agent from time to time in order to confirm the rights created or intended to be created under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and any security interest created or purported to be created hereunder or thereunder, to protect the validity, priority and enforceability of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, to subject to the Loan Documents any property of Borrowers intended by the terms of any one or more of the Loan Documents to be encumbered by the Loan Documents, or otherwise carry out the intent and purposes of the Loan Documents and the transactions contemplated thereunder, provided that the foregoing shall not impose any additional material liability or obligations on, nor materially reduce the rights or remedies of, any Borrower or any Guarantor, or change the timing of payments of interest or principal.

10.Cumulative Remedies. The remedies in this Agreement and the other Loan Documents herein are cumulative and not exclusive of any remedies available at law or equity or in any other agreement, document or instrument.
11.Amendments, Waivers, Consents and Approvals.

No waiver of any provision of this Agreement or in any of the other Loan Documents or consent to any departure by Borrowers or any other Person therefrom shall in any event be effective unless signed in writing by Agent in accordance with this Agreement (including Sections 9.10 and 9.11), and then such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the purpose for which given. Consents, approvals and waivers granted by Agent for any matters covered under this Agreement or any Loan Document shall not be effective unless signed in writing by Agent hereof in accordance with this Agreement (including Sections 9.10 and 9.11), and such consents, approvals and waivers shall be narrowly construed to cover only the parties and facts identified in any such consent, approval or waiver.

(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:

27.Exculpation. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in the Loan Documents, the Loan shall be fully recourse to Borrowers. Moreover, all of the terms and provisions of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents to which Borrowers are a party are obligations of Borrowers and not restricted by any limitation on personal liability; provided, however, that (a) if any Borrower is a limited partnership, in no event shall any general partner, limited partner, officer, director, employee, agent or direct or indirect owner of Borrower have any personal liability for the obligations of such Borrower hereunder, (b) if any Borrower is a limited liability company in no event shall any member, manager, officer, director, employee, agent or direct or indirect owner of such Borrower have any personal liability for the obligations of such Borrower hereunder, or (c) if any Borrower is a corporation, in no event shall any officer, director, employee, agent, direct or indirect owner, shareholder or authorized signatory of such

Borrowers shall indemnify, defend and hold Agent and each Lender harmless from and against any and all claims, liabilities, losses, costs and expenses of any kind (including Agent’s and each Lender’s reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses) in any way relating to or arising out of a claim by any Person (including Broker) that such Person acted on behalf of Borrowers or Agent or any Lender in connection with the transactions contemplated herein. The provisions of this Section 10.28 shall survive the expiration and termination of this Agreement and the payment of the Obligations.
29.Servicer.
(a)At the option of Agent, the Loan may be serviced by one or multiple servicers, special servicers and/or trustees (any such servicers, special servicers and trustees, together with their agent’s, nominees or designees, are collectively referred to as “Servicer”) selected by Agent and Agent may delegate all or any portion of its responsibilities under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents to the Servicer pursuant to a servicing agreement between Agent and Servicer. Servicer may, at any time, delegate all or any portion of its responsibilities for the servicing and administration of the Loan to a sub-servicer or sub-servicers.

All amounts payable to Agent or Servicer in exercising its rights under this Section 10.29 (including, but not limited to, disbursements, advances and reasonable legal expenses incurred in connection therewith), shall be payable within five (5) days of demand therefor, secured by this Agreement and interest thereon shall accrue at the Default Rate from the date due.
30.Creation of Security Interest. Notwithstanding any other provision set forth in this Agreement, the Note, the Mortgage or any of the other Loan Documents, Agent or any Lender may at any time create a security interest in all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement, the Note, the Mortgage and any other Loan Document (including the advances owing to it) in favor of (i) any Federal Reserve Bank, any Federal Home Loan Bank or the
175
49289660

central reserve bank or similar authority of any country to secure any obligation of Lender to such bank or similar authority (a “Central Bank Pledge”) or (ii) the trustee, administrator or receiver (or their respective nominees, collateral agents or collateral trustees) of a mortgage pool securing covered mortgage bonds issued by a German mortgage bank, or any other Person permitted to issue covered mortgage bonds, under German Pfandbrief legislation, as such legislation may be amended and in effect from time to time, on any substitute or successor legislation (a “Pfandbrief Pledge”). In the event that the interest of Agent and/or any Lender that is assigned in connection with a Central Bank Pledge is foreclosed upon and transferred to the pledge thereof, Agent or such Lender, as applicable, shall have no further liability hereunder with respect to the interest that was the subject of such transfer and the assignee shall be Agent or such Lender, as applicable with respect to such interest. Neither Agent nor any Lender shall be required to notify Borrowers of any Central Bank Pledge or Pfandbrief Pledge. Borrowers agree to execute, within fifteen (15) Business Days after request therefor is made by Agent or any Lender, any documents or any amendments, amendments and restatements, and/or modifications to any Loan Documents and/or additional documents (including, without limitation, amended, amended and restated, modified and/or additional promissory notes) and/or estoppel certificates reasonably requested by Agent and/or such Lender in order to make the Loan Documents eligible under German pfandbrief legislation; provided, however, that Borrowers shall not be required to make any Prohibited Changes.
31.Publicity. All news releases, publicity or advertising by any Borrower or its Affiliates through any media intended to reach the general public which refers to the Loan Documents or the financing evidenced by the Loan Documents, to Agent, Lenders, any Affiliate of Agent, any Affiliate of any Lender shall be subject to the prior written approval of Agent and/or such Lender, such approval not to be unreasonably withheld. All news releases, publicity or advertising by Agent and/or any Lender or any of their 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 any Borrower or Guarantor or any Affiliate of any Borrower or Guarantor shall be subject to the prior written approval of Borrowers, such approval not to be unreasonably withheld; provided, however that the foregoing shall in no way limit Agent’s and each Lender’s rights pursuant to Article XIII. Notwithstanding the foregoing (and in no way limiting Agent’s and each Lender’s rights under Article XIII), Borrowers authorize Agent and each Lender to issue press releases, advertisements and other promotional materials in connection with Agent’s and each Lenders’ own promotional and marketing activities, including in connection with a Secondary Market Transaction, and such materials may describe the Loan in general terms or in detail and Agent’s and Lenders’ participation therein.
32.Joint and Several Liability; Suretyship Waivers. Each Borrower acknowledges that Lender has made the Loan to each Borrower upon the security of their collective interest in the Property and in reliance upon the aggregate of the Property taken together being of greater value as collateral security than the sum of each individual Borrower’s interest in the Property.
(a)As more specifically set forth in this Section 10.32, the waivers set forth in this Section 10.32 are intended only to apply to rights or defenses which any individual Borrower may have or assert in the event that such individual Borrower is held to be, or asserts that such individual Borrower is, a surety of any other individual Borrower. Without limiting any other provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, nothing in this Section 10.32 shall be deemed a waiver by Borrower or any individual Borrower, in its capacity as a debtor or obligor (as opposed to any capacity as a surety), of any of its rights, remedies and defenses otherwise afforded to it as a debtor or obligor (as opposed to a surety) under applicable law where the debt is secured by real property.
(b)Each individual Borrower acknowledges and agrees that (A) the obligations and liability of each individual Borrower under this Agreement and the other Loan
176
49289660

Documents to which such individual Borrower is a party are joint and several and (B) each of the individual Borrowers and Agent, on behalf of the Lender, do not intend that any individual Borrower be treated or held to be a surety or guarantor of the obligations of any other individual Borrower under the Loan Documents. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if and to the extent that any individual Borrower may be treated as or deemed to be a surety or held to have any of the rights, remedies or defense of a surety for the obligations of any other individual Borrower under the Loan Documents, then each individual Borrower, to the fullest extent permitted by law, hereby knowingly, voluntarily and irrevocably waives and agrees not to assert or take advantage of any such rights, remedies or defenses.
(c)Without limiting the generality of the foregoing provisions, the validity, priority and enforceability of the Mortgage shall not be impaired or otherwise affected by (A) any failure of any individual Borrower (should such individual Borrower, in its individual capacity, be deemed to be a surety) to receive notice of any default in the payment or performance of any indebtedness or other obligations of any other individual Borrower (in its individual capacity as an obligor under the Loan Documents) that are secured by the Mortgage; (B) any limitation on the personal liability of any individual Borrower (in its individual capacity as an obligor under the Loan Documents) for any indebtedness or obligation secured by the Mortgage; (C) any failure of any individual Borrower (should such individual Borrower, in its individual capacity, be deemed to be a surety) to receive notice of, or consent to, any extension, alteration, impairment or suspension of any indebtedness or other obligations that are secured by the Mortgage; (D) any failure of any individual Borrower (should such individual Borrower, in its individual capacity, be deemed to be a surety) to receive notice of, or consent to, the release by Agent, on behalf of the Lender, of any other security for, or guaranty of, any indebtedness or obligations that are secured by the Mortgage; (E) any failure of Agent to enforce any other right or remedy, or to resort to any other security or guaranty, before enforcing Agent’s foreclosure, receivership and other remedies under the Mortgage; and (F) any election of remedies by Agent, on behalf of the Lender, that impairs or destroys any right or remedy of any individual Borrower (should such individual Borrower, in its individual capacity, be deemed to be a surety) against any other individual Borrower (in its individual capacity treated as an obligor under the Loan Documents) including any destruction of the right of any individual Borrower (should such individual Borrower, in its individual capacity, be deemed to be a surety) to seek reimbursement from any other individual Borrower (in its individual capacity treated as an obligor under the Loan Documents) based on the principle of equitable subrogation as a result of Agent’s election to foreclose under the Mortgage by a nonjudicial trustee’s sale.
(d)Each individual Borrower (should such individual Borrower be deemed to be such, in its individual capacity as a surety) hereby further knowingly, voluntarily and irrevocably waives (A) any claim against any other individual Borrower (in its individual capacity treated as an obligor under the Loan Documents) including any equitable claim for reimbursement based on any loss suffered by such individual Borrower (should such individual Borrower, in its individual capacity, be deemed to be a surety) as a result of Agent’s enforcement of its remedies under the Mortgage; and (B) any right to receive, resort to, or in any way have the benefit of any other security or guaranty held by Agent, on behalf of the Lender.
(e)The continuing validity and enforceability of the covenants and waivers of each individual Borrower (should such individual Borrower, in its individual capacity, be deemed to be a surety) in this Section 10.32 shall not be impaired or otherwise affected by any election of Agent, in its discretion, to give any particular notice to such individual Borrower (should such individual Borrower, in its individual capacity, be deemed to be a surety) or to solicit any particular consent of such individual Borrower (should such individual Borrower, in its individual capacity, be deemed to be a surety) that Agent is not obligated to give or solicit by reason of the provisions of this Section 10.32.
