To the extent permitted by applicable law, interest at the Default Rate shall be added to the Indebtedness, shall itself accrue interest at the same rate as the Loan and shall be secured by this Agreement and the Pledge. This paragraph shall not be construed as an agreement or privilege to extend the date of the payment of the Indebtedness, nor as a waiver of any other right or remedy accruing to Mezzanine Lender by reason of the occurrence of any Event of Default, and Mezzanine Lender retains its rights under the Mezzanine Note to accelerate and to continue to demand payment of the Indebtedness upon the happening of any Event of Default.
 
2.2.2  Method and Place of Payment.
 
(a)  On each Payment Date, Mezzanine Borrower shall pay or cause to be paid to Mezzanine Lender interest accruing pursuant to the Mezzanine Note for the entire Interest Period during which said Payment Date shall occur.
 
(b)  All amounts advanced by Mezzanine Lender pursuant to the applicable provisions of the Loan Documents (Junior Mezzanine), other than the Principal Amount, together with any interest at the Default Rate or other charges as provided therein, shall be due and payable hereunder as provided in the Loan Documents (Junior Mezzanine). In the event any such advance or charge is not so repaid by Mezzanine Borrower, Mezzanine Lender may, at its option and upon notice to Mezzanine Borrower, first apply any payments received under the Mezzanine Note to repay such advances, together with any interest thereon, or other charges as provided in the Loan Documents (Junior Mezzanine), and the balance, if any, shall be applied in payment of any installment of interest or principal then due and payable.
 
(c)  The Maturity Date Payment shall be due and payable in full on the Maturity Date.
 

26



 
2.2.3  Late Payment Charge. If any interest payment due under the Loan Documents (Junior Mezzanine) is not paid by Mezzanine Borrower within five (5) days after the date on which it is due (or, if such fifth (5th) day is not a Business Day, then the Business Day immediately preceding such day) on or prior to the date on which it is due, Mezzanine Borrower shall pay to Mezzanine Lender upon demand an amount equal to the lesser of three percent (3%) of such unpaid sum or the Maximum Legal Rate (the Late Payment Charge) in order to defray the expense incurred by Mezzanine Lender in handling and processing such delinquent payment and to compensate Mezzanine Lender for the loss of the use of such delinquent payment. Any such amount shall be secured by this Agreement, the Pledge and the other Loan Documents (Junior Mezzanine) to the extent permitted by applicable law. Mezzanine Borrower acknowledges and agrees that the five day grace period with respect to the applicability of the Late Payment Charge (i) shall only apply to Mezzanine Borrower's first failure to make a monthly interest payment in any calendar year and (ii) shall not constitute a payment grace period and shall in no way limit Mezzanine Lender's rights under Article XVII.
 
2.2.4  Usury Savings. This Agreement and the Mezzanine Note are subject to the express condition that at no time shall Mezzanine Borrower be obligated or required to pay interest on the Principal Amount of the Loan at a rate which could subject Mezzanine 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 (Junior Mezzanine), Mezzanine Borrower is at any time required or obligated to pay interest on the Principal Amount due under the Mezzanine Note at a rate in excess of the Maximum Legal Rate, then the LIBOR Rate or the Default Rate, as the case may be, shall be deemed to be immediately reduced to the Maximum Legal Rate and all previous payments in excess of the Maximum Legal Rate shall be deemed to have been payments in reduction of principal and not on account of the interest due under the Mezzanine Note. All sums paid or agreed to be paid to Mezzanine Lender for the use, forbearance, or detention of the sums due under the Loan, shall, to the extent permitted by applicable law, be amortized, prorated, allocated, and spread throughout the full stated term of the Loan until payment in full so that the rate or amount of interest on account of the Loan does not exceed the Maximum Legal Rate of interest from time to time in effect and applicable to the Loan for so long as the Loan is outstanding.

2.3.2  Prepayments After Event of Default. If, following an Event of Default, Mezzanine Lender shall accelerate the Indebtedness and Mezzanine Borrower thereafter tenders payment of all or any part of the Indebtedness, or if all or any portion of the Indebtedness is recovered by Mezzanine Lender after such Event of Default, (a) such payment may be made only on the next occurring Payment Date together with all unpaid interest thereon as calculated through the end of the Interest Period during which such Payment Date occurs (even if such period extends beyond such Payment Date and calculated as if such payment had not been made on such Payment Date), and all other fees and sums payable hereunder or under the Loan Documents (Junior Mezzanine), including without limitation, interest that has accrued at the Default Rate and any Late Payment Charges), (b) such payment shall be deemed a voluntary prepayment by Mezzanine Borrower, and (c) Mezzanine Borrower shall pay, in addition to the Indebtedness, an amount equal to the Prepayment Fee, if applicable.
 
2.3.3  Release of Collateral. Mezzanine Lender shall, upon the written request and at the reasonable expense of Mezzanine Borrower, upon payment in full of the Principal Amount and interest on the Loan and all other amounts due and payable under the Loan Documents (Junior Mezzanine) in accordance with the terms and provisions of the Mezzanine Note and this Agreement, release the Lien of (i) this Agreement upon the Account Collateral (Junior Mezzanine) and the Rate Cap Collateral (Junior

Section 17.2  Remedies
 
(a)  Unless waived in writing by Mezzanine Lender, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, all or any one or more of the rights, powers, privileges and other remedies available to Mezzanine Lender against Mezzanine Borrower and Guarantor under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents (Junior Mezzanine) executed and delivered by, or applicable to, Mezzanine Borrower or at law or in equity may be exercised by Mezzanine Lender at any time and from time to time, whether or not all or any of the Indebtedness shall be declared due and payable, and whether or not Mezzanine Lender shall have commenced any foreclosure proceeding or other action for the enforcement of its rights and remedies under any of the Loan Documents (Junior Mezzanine) with respect to the Collateral. Any such actions taken by Mezzanine Lender shall be cumulative and concurrent and may be pursued independently, singly, successively, together or otherwise, at such time and in such order as Mezzanine Lender may determine in its sole discretion, to the fullest extent permitted by law, without impairing or otherwise affecting the other rights and remedies of Mezzanine Lender permitted by law, equity or contract or as set forth herein or in the other Loan Documents (Junior Mezzanine). Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Mezzanine Borrower agrees that if an Event of Default is continuing (i) Mezzanine Lender shall not be subject to any one action or election of remedies law or rule and (ii) all liens and other rights, remedies or privileges provided to Mezzanine Lender shall remain in full force and effect until Mezzanine Lender has exhausted all of its remedies against the Collateral and this Agreement and the Pledge have been foreclosed, sold and/or otherwise realized upon in satisfaction of the Indebtedness or the Indebtedness has been paid in full.
 
(b)  Upon the occurrence of any Event of Default, Mezzanine Lender may, but without any obligation to do so and without notice to or demand on Mezzanine Borrower and without releasing Mezzanine Borrower from any obligation hereunder, take any action to cure such Event of Default. Mezzanine Lender may appear in, defend, or bring any action or proceeding to protect its interests in the Collateral or to foreclose its security interest under this Agreement and the Pledge or under any of the other Loan Documents (Junior Mezzanine) or collect the Indebtedness.
 
(c)  Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, with respect to the Account Collateral (Junior Mezzanine), the Mezzanine Lender may:
 
(i)  without notice to Mezzanine Borrower, except as required by law, and at any time or from time to time, charge, set-off and otherwise apply all or any part of the Account Collateral (Junior Mezzanine) against the Obligations (Junior Mezzanine) or any part thereof;
 

99



 
(ii)  in Mezzanine Lender's sole discretion, at any time and from time to time, exercise any and all rights and remedies available to it under this Agreement, and/or as a secured party under the UCC;
 
(iii)  demand, collect, take possession of or receipt for, settle, compromise, adjust, sue for, foreclose or realize upon the Account Collateral (Junior Mezzanine) (or any portion thereof) as Mezzanine Lender may determine in its sole discretion; and
 
(iv)  take all other actions provided in, or contemplated by, this Agreement.
 
(d)  With respect to Mezzanine Borrower, the Account Collateral (Junior Mezzanine), the Rate Cap Collateral (Junior Mezzanine) and the Collateral, nothing contained herein or in any other Loan Document (Junior Mezzanine) shall be construed as requiring Mezzanine Lender to resort to the Collateral for the satisfaction of any of the Indebtedness, and Mezzanine Lender may seek satisfaction out of the Collateral or any part thereof, in its absolute discretion in respect of the Indebtedness. In addition, Mezzanine Lender shall have the right from time to time to partially foreclose this Agreement and the Pledge in any manner and for any amounts secured by this Agreement or the Pledge then due and payable as determined by Mezzanine Lender in its sole discretion including, without limitation, the following circumstances: (i) in the event Mezzanine Borrower defaults beyond any applicable grace period in the payment of one or more scheduled payments of principal or interest, Mezzanine Lender may foreclose this Agreement and the Pledge to recover such delinquent payments, or (ii) in the event Mezzanine Lender elects to accelerate less than the entire outstanding principal balance of the Loan, Mezzanine Lender may foreclose this Agreement and the Pledge to recover so much of the principal balance of the Loan as Mezzanine Lender may accelerate and such other sums secured by this Agreement or the Pledge as Mezzanine Lender may elect. Notwithstanding one or more partial foreclosures, the Collateral shall remain subject to this Agreement and the Pledge to secure payment of sums secured by this Agreement and the Pledge and not previously recovered.
 
Section 17.3  Remedies Cumulative; Waivers
 
. The rights, powers and remedies of Mezzanine Lender under this Agreement and the Loan Documents (Junior Mezzanine) shall be cumulative and not exclusive of any other right, power or remedy which Mezzanine Lender may have against Mezzanine Borrower pursuant to this Agreement or the other Loan Documents (Junior Mezzanine), or existing at law or in equity or otherwise. Mezzanine Lender's rights, powers and remedies may be pursued singly, concurrently or otherwise, at such time and in such order as Mezzanine Lender may determine in Mezzanine Lender's sole discretion. No delay or omission to exercise any remedy, right or power accruing upon an Event of Default shall impair any such remedy, right or power or shall be construed as a waiver thereof, but any such remedy, right or power may be exercised from time to time and as
 

100


often as may be deemed expedient. A waiver of one Default or Event of Default with respect to Mezzanine Borrower or any Guarantor shall not be construed to be a waiver of any subsequent Default or Event of Default by Mezzanine Borrower or any Guarantor or to impair any remedy, right or power consequent thereon.
 
Section 17.4  Costs of Collection
 
. In the event that after an Event of Default: (i) the Mezzanine Note or any of the Loan Documents (Junior Mezzanine) is placed in the hands of an attorney for collection or enforcement or is collected or enforced through any legal proceeding; (ii) an attorney is retained to represent Mezzanine Lender in any bankruptcy, reorganization, receivership, or other proceedings affecting creditors' rights and involving a claim under this Agreement, the Mezzanine Note or any of the Loan Documents (Junior Mezzanine); or (iii) an attorney is retained to protect or enforce the lien or any of the terms of this Agreement, the Pledge or any of the Loan Documents (Junior Mezzanine); then Mezzanine Borrower shall pay to Mezzanine Lender all reasonable attorney's fees, costs and expenses actually incurred in connection therewith, including costs of appeal, together with interest on any judgment obtained by Mezzanine Lender at the Default Rate.
 
Section 17.5  Distribution of Collateral Proceeds
 
. In the event that, following the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, any monies are received in connection with the enforcement of any of the Loan Documents (Junior Mezzanine), or otherwise with respect to the realization upon any of the Collateral, such monies shall be distributed for application as follows:
 
(a)  First, to the payment of, or (as the case may be) the reimbursement of, Mezzanine Lender for or in respect of all reasonable costs, expenses, disbursements and losses which shall have been incurred or sustained by Mezzanine Lender to protect or preserve the Collateral or in connection with the collection of such monies by Mezzanine Lender (including without limitation, enforcement costs), for the exercise, protection or enforcement by Mezzanine Lender of all or any of the rights, remedies, powers and privileges of Mezzanine Lender under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents (Junior Mezzanine) or in respect of the Collateral or in support of any provision of adequate indemnity to Mezzanine Lender against any taxes or liens which by law shall have, or may have, priority over the rights of Mezzanine Lender to such monies;
 
(b)  Second, to all other Obligations (Junior Mezzanine) in such order or preference as Mezzanine Lender shall determine in its sole and absolute discretion;
 
(c)  Third, the excess, if any, shall be returned to Mezzanine Borrower or to such other Persons as are entitled thereto.

Any Indemnified
 

112


Party will give Mezzanine Borrower prompt notice after such Indemnified Party obtains actual knowledge of any potential claim by such Indemnified Party for indemnification hereunder. The Indemnified Parties shall not settle or compromise any action, proceeding or claim as to which it is indemnified hereunder without notice to Mezzanine Borrower.
