Section 2.1 The Original Loan; the New Loan. Original Borrower received only one borrowing in the amount of the Original Loan Amount and any amount borrowed and repaid with respect to the Original Loan may not be reborrowed. Borrower shall receive only one borrowing hereunder in the amount of the New Loan Amount and any amount borrowed and repaid hereunder may not be reborrowed. Borrower’s obligation to pay the Indebtedness is evidenced by this Agreement and by the Note and secured by the Mortgage, the Borrower Pledge Agreement, the Pledgor Pledge Agreement, and the other Loan Documents to the extent provided therein.

Section 2.2 Interest Rate.

(a) Interest shall accrue on the Principal Indebtedness of the Original Loan at six and eleven hundredths percent (6.11%) per annum (the “Original Loan Interest Rate”) commencing on the Original Closing Date.

(b) Interest shall accrue on the Principal Indebtedness of the New Loan at six percent (6.00%) per annum (the “New Loan Interest Rate” and, together with the Original Loan Interest Rate, collectively or individually, as the context may require, the “Interest Rate”) commencing on the Closing Date.

(c) Interest on Principal Indebtedness for any full month shall be calculated on the basis of a three hundred sixty (360) day year consisting of twelve (12) thirty (30) day months. For any partial month, interest shall be due in an amount equal to (i) the applicable Interest Rate divided by 360 multiplied by (ii) the number of days in such month any such Principal Indebtedness is outstanding through and including the day of payment.

Section 2.3 Payments. Borrower shall make the following payments to Lender:

(a) On March 5, 2012 and on the same calendar day of each calendar month during the term of the Original Loan (including the Maturity Date) (each, a “Payment Date”), Borrower shall pay to Lender a monthly payment in the amount of $805,912.50, which amount is based on the Original Loan Amount, the Original Loan Interest Rate and a 240-month

 

27


amortization schedule as of the Original Closing Date. Prior to an Event of Default, such payment shall be allocated by Lender towards the payment of the principal and interest due on the Original Loan, as set forth on Schedule 2 attached hereto.

(b) On the date hereof (unless the date hereof is the same calendar day as a Payment Date), Borrower shall pay to Lender a payment of interest only on the New Loan Amount for the period from the Closing Date to and including March 4, 2012 in the amount of $6,650.01.

(c) On April 5, 2012 and on each Payment Date thereafter, Borrower shall pay to Lender a monthly payment in the amount of $95,285.33, which amount is based on the New Loan Amount, New Loan Interest Rate and a 240-month amortization schedule as of the Closing Date. Prior to an Event of Default, such payment shall be allocated by Lender towards the payment of the principal and interest due on the New Loan.

(d) All proceeds of payment and payments with respect to any Loan, including any payment or recovery on any Property or any Equity Collateral, shall be applied to the aggregate Indebtedness and Notes in such order and in such manner and priority as Lender shall elect in Lender’s discretion.

(e) Upon Borrower’s payment of any Release Price pursuant to Section 13.6 of this Agreement, the next monthly payment coming due, and each monthly payment thereafter, shall be reduced to an amount which will result in the full amortization of the remaining Principal Indebtedness of the applicable Loan based on the applicable Interest Rate and an amortization over a term equal to 240 months less the number monthly payments made by the Borrower prior to the date of the payment of such Release Payment.

(f) The entire outstanding Indebtedness of the Original Loan and the New Loan shall be due and payable on the Payment Date occurring in April 5, 2017 (the “Maturity Date”), or such earlier date resulting from acceleration of any of the Indebtedness by Lender.

(g) For purposes of making payments hereunder, if the Payment Date of a given month shall not be a Business Day, then the Payment Date for such month shall be the preceding Business Day.

ARTICLE 3

DEPOSITS

Section 3.1 Tax and Insurance Deposits. At Lender’s option (1) following an Event of Default or (ii) in the event that Borrower and Pledgor fail to timely deliver to Lender evidence of payment of Impositions or insurance premiums as required by Section 5.1(b), Borrower shall make monthly deposits (the “Tax and Insurance Deposits” or “Deposits”) with Lender equal to one-twelfth (1/12th) of the annual Impositions (except for income taxes, franchise taxes, ground rents, maintenance charges and utility charges) and insurance premiums for all insurance required under the Loan Documents (“Insurance Premiums”) together with amounts sufficient to pay these items thirty (30) days before they are due. Lender shall estimate the amount of the Deposits until ascertainable. At that time, Borrower shall promptly deposit any deficiency.

 

28


Borrower and Pledgor shall promptly notify Lender of any changes to the amounts, schedules and instructions for payment of the Impositions and Insurance Premiums. Borrower and Pledgor authorize Lender or its agent to obtain the bills for Impositions directly from the appropriate Governmental Authority. If (i) there is no Event of Default at the time of payment, (ii) Borrower and Pledgor have delivered bills or invoices to Lender for the Impositions and Insurance Premiums in sufficient time to pay them when due, and (iii) the Deposits are sufficient to pay the Impositions and Insurance Premiums, as applicable, or Borrower has deposited the necessary additional amount, then Lender shall pay the Impositions prior to their due date. Any Deposits remaining after payment of the Impositions and insurance premiums shall, at Lender’s option, be credited against the Deposits required for the following year or paid to Borrower.

Section 3.2 Deposits Generally. All Deposits are pledged to Lender and shall constitute additional security for the Indebtedness. The Deposits shall be held by Lender without interest (except to the extent required under Laws) and may be commingled with other funds. If an Event of Default occurs, the Deposits may, at Lender’s option, be applied to the Indebtedness in any order of priority. Any application to principal shall be deemed a voluntary prepayment subject to the Prepayment Premium. Borrower and Pledgor shall not claim any credit against the Indebtedness for the Deposits. Upon an assignment or other transfer of the Loan, Lender may pay over the Deposits in its possession to the assignee or transferee and then it shall be completely released from all liability with respect to the Deposits. Borrower and Pledgor shall look solely to the assignee or transferee with respect thereto. This provision shall apply to every transfer of the Deposits to a new assignee or transferee. Subject to Article 6, a Transfer of the Property shall automatically transfer to the new owner the beneficial interest in the Deposits. Upon full payment and satisfaction of the Loan or, at Lender’s option, at any prior time, the balance of the Deposits in Lender’s possession shall be paid over to the record owner of the Property and no other party shall have any right or claim to the Deposits. Lender may transfer all its duties under this Section to such servicer or financial institution as Lender may periodically designate and Borrower agrees to make the Deposits to such servicer or institution.

(a) Borrower and Pledgor shall do or cause to be done all things necessary to preserve, renew and keep in full force and effect its existence, rights, licenses, Permits and franchises necessary for the conduct of its business and comply in all material respects with all applicable Legal Requirements, Contracts, Permits, and private covenants, conditions and restrictions that at any time apply to Borrower, Pledgor, the Equity Collateral, or the Property (including the Forest Service Land). Borrower and Pledgor shall notify Lender promptly of any written notice or order that Borrower or Pledgor receives from any Governmental Authority relating to any of Borrower’s or Pledgor’s failure to comply with such applicable Legal Requirements.

(b) Unless Borrower is making Deposits pursuant to the terms of Section 3.1, Borrower and/or Pledgor shall pay or cause to be paid by the Third Party Operator all Impositions and Insurance Premiums with respect to Borrower, Pledgor, the Equity Collateral and the Property (including the Forest Service Land) in accordance with the terms hereof and Borrower and/or Pledgor shall provide Lender with receipts evidencing such payments (except for income taxes, franchise taxes, ground rents, maintenance charges, and utility charges) within forty-five (45) days after their due date. Any Borrower or Pledgor, at its expense, after prior notice to Lender, may seek to enforce the obligations of the Third Party Operator with respect to such payments, and may contest by appropriate proceedings conducted in good faith and with due diligence, the validity or application of any Legal Requirements, Imposition, or any claims of mechanics, materialmen, suppliers or vendors, and may withhold payment of the same

 

41


pending such proceedings if permitted by law, as long as (1) in the case of any Impositions, judgment liens or claims of mechanics, materialmen, suppliers or vendors, such proceedings shall suspend the collection thereof from the Property (including the Forest Service Land) or the Equity Collateral, (ii) none of the Property (including the Forest Service Land), the Equity Collateral, or any part thereof or interest therein will be sold, forfeited or lost if Borrower or Pledgor pays the amount or satisfies the condition being contested, and Borrower would have the opportunity to do so, in the event of Borrower’s or Pledgor’s failure to prevail in such contest, (iii) Lender would not, by virtue of such permitted contest, be exposed to any risk of civil or criminal liability, and neither the Property (including the Forest Service Land) nor any part thereof or any interest therein would be subject to the imposition of any Lien for which Borrower or Pledgor has not furnished additional security as provided in clause (iv) below, as a result of the failure to comply with any Legal Requirement of such proceeding which would not be released if Borrower or Pledgor pays the amount or satisfies the condition being contested, and Borrower or Pledgor would have the opportunity to do so, in the event of Borrower’s or Pledgor’s failure to prevail in the contest, and (iv) Borrower or Pledgor shall have furnished to Lender additional security in respect of the claim or lien being contested or the loss or damage that may result from Borrower’s or Pledgor’s failure to prevail in such contest in such amount as may be requested by Lender, but in no event less than one hundred twenty-five percent (125%) of the amount of such claim.

Borrower and Pledgor may not, without Lender’s approval, perform alterations to the Improvements and Equipment which (a) exceed $1,000,000 (not including (i) tenant improvements and other capital improvements and alterations work, as set forth on Schedule 5.2 attached hereto, performed by a Third Party Operator as a matter of right pursuant to the terms of any Lease executed on or prior to the date hereof, (ii) alterations performed in connection with a Restoration, and (iii) work performed pursuant to Section 5.6), or (b) are not in the ordinary course of Borrower’s business (such alterations, “Material Alterations”).

Unless otherwise directed by Borrower in writing, Borrower hereby authorizes and directs that Lender withdraw from the Debt Service Deposits, on each date that an Allocated Monthly Payment Amount becomes due, the amount of such Allocated Monthly Payment Amount in satisfaction of the Borrower’s obligation to make such Allocated Monthly Payment Amount, and Lender’s failure to make such withdrawal shall not be deemed a default by Borrower so long as the Debt Service Reserve Account has adequate funds for such payment. In the alternative, Borrower shall have the right, at any time so long as the then due Allocated Monthly Payment Amount has been delivered to Lender (but in any event no more frequently than once per month), to request in writing to Lender that Lender release to Borrower from the Debt Service Reserve Account an amount equal to such Allocated Monthly Payment Amount (as shown on Schedule 2 of this Agreement) for each of Northstar and Sierra.

Pursuant to the terms of the Resolution Agreement, the equity owners of Booth Creek Resort Properties were required to contribute/invest cash in the aggregate amount of at least $3,000,000.00 in Booth Creek Resort Properties (the “Booth Creek Equity Requirement”).

Borrower hereby agrees that if operations at the Northstar/Sierra Property (as hereinafter defined) shall fail to meet the Earnings Threshold (as hereinafter defined) during the term of the Loan, Borrower shall, within three (3) Business Days after receipt of written notice from Lender, pledge to Lender additional cash collateral in the amount of $5,290,000.00 (the “Additional Cash Collateral”), which pledged Additional Cash Collateral shall (i) be held in an account in the name of Borrower and in a financial institution reasonably acceptable to Lender, and (ii) be subject to a first priority security interest in favor of Lender, shall constitute additional security for the Indebtedness and, upon the occurrence of an Event of Default may, at Lender’s option, be applied to the Indebtedness in any order of priority. In such case, Borrower agrees to fully cooperate with Lender with respect to the execution and delivery of any and all documents and instruments reasonably requested by Lender to evidence and perfect its security interest in the pledged Additional Cash Collateral including, without limitation, a Deposit Account Control Agreement in form and substance reasonably acceptable to Lender.

Full replacement cost will be determined, at Borrower’s and Pledgor’s expense, periodically upon policy expiration or renewal by the insurance company or an appraiser, engineer, architect, or contractor approved by said company and Lender.

Section 7.2 Liability and Other Insurance. Borrower shall maintain commercial general liability insurance with per occurrence limits of $1,000,000.00, a products/completed operations limit of $2,000,000.00, and a general aggregate limit of $2,000,000.00, with an excess/umbrella liability policy of not less than $25,000,000.00 per occurrence and annual aggregate covering Borrower, with Lender named as an additional insured, against claims for bodily injury or death or property damage occurring in, upon, or about the Property or any street, drive, sidewalk, curb, or passageway adjacent thereto. In addition to any other requirements, such commercial general liability and excess/umbrella liability insurance shall provide insurance against acts of terrorism and against claims applicable to the presence of Hazardous Materials, or such coverages shall be provided by separate policies or endorsements. The insurance policies shall also include operations and blanket contractual liability coverage which insures contractual liability under the indemnifications set forth in Section 12.25(b) below (but such coverage or the amount thereof shall in no way limit such indemnifications). Upon request, Borrower shall also carry additional insurance or additional amounts of insurance covering Borrower or the Property as Lender shall reasonably require.

Section 7.3 Form of Policy. All insurance required under this Article shall be fully paid for, non-assessable, and the policies shall contain such provisions, endorsements, and expiration dates as Lender shall reasonably require. The policies shall be issued by insurance companies authorized to do business in the State where the applicable Individual Property is located, approved by Lender, and must have and maintain a current financial strength rating of “A-, X” (or higher) from A.M. Best or equivalent (or if a rating by A.M. Best is no longer available, a similar rating from a similar or successor service). In addition, all policies shall (i) include a standard mortgagee clause, without contribution, in the name of Lender, (ii) provide that they shall not be canceled, amended, or materially altered (including reduction in the scope or limits of coverage) without at least thirty (30) days’ prior written notice to Lender except in the event of cancellation for non-payment of premium, in which case only ten (10) days’ prior written notice will be given to Lender, and (iii) include a waiver of subrogation clause substantially equivalent to the following: “The Company may require from the Insured an assignment of all rights of recovery against any party for loss to the extent that payment therefor is made by the Company, but the Company shall not acquire any rights of recovery which the Insured has expressly waived prior to loss, nor shall such waiver affect the Insured’s rights under this policy.”

 

57


Section 7.4 Original Policies. Borrower and/or Pledgor shall deliver to Lender (i) original or certified copies of all policies (and renewals) required under this Article and (ii) receipts evidencing payment of all premiums on such policies at least thirty (30) days prior to their expiration. If original and renewal policies are unavailable or if coverage is under a blanket policy, Borrower and/or Pledgor shall deliver duplicate originals, or, if unavailable, original ACORD 27 and ACORD 25-S certificates (or equivalent certificates) evidencing that such policies are in full force and effect together with certified copies of the original policies.

Section 7.5 General Provisions. Borrower and Pledgor shall not carry separate or additional insurance concurrent in form or contributing in the event of loss with that required under this Article unless endorsed in favor of Lender as per this Article and approved by Lender in all respects. In the event of foreclosure of the Mortgage or other transfer of title or assignment of the Property in extinguishment, in whole or in part, of the Indebtedness, all right, title, and interest of Borrower in and to all policies of insurance then in force regarding the Property and all proceeds payable thereunder and unearned premiums thereon shall immediately vest in the purchaser or other transferee of the Property. No approval by Lender of any insurer shall be construed to be a representation, certification, or warranty of its solvency. No approval by Lender as to the amount, type, or form of any insurance shall be construed to be a representation, certification, or warranty of its sufficiency. Borrower and Pledgor shall each comply with all insurance requirements and shall not cause or permit any condition to exist which would be prohibited by any insurance requirement or would invalidate the insurance coverage on the Property.

Section 7.6 Waiver of Subrogation. A waiver of subrogation shall be obtained by Borrower from its insurers and, consequently, Borrower for itself, and on behalf of its insurers, hereby waives and releases any and all right to claim or recover against Lender, its officers, employees, agents and representatives, for any loss of or damage to Borrower, other Persons, the Property, Borrower’s property or the property of other Persons from any cause required to be insured against by the provisions of this Agreement or otherwise insured against by Borrower.

Section 7.7 Restoration Proceeds.

(a) Any and all awards, compensation, reimbursement, damages, proceeds, settlements, and other payments or relief paid or to be paid, together with all rights and causes of action relating to or arising from, (i) any insurance policy maintained by or on behalf of Borrower following any damage, destruction, casualty or loss to all or any portion of the Property (a “Casualty”, and such proceeds, “Insurance Proceeds”) or (ii) any temporary or permanent taking or voluntary conveyance of all or part of the Property, or any interest therein or right accruing thereto or use thereof, as the result of, or in settlement of, any condemnation or other eminent domain proceeding by any Governmental Authority whether or not the same shall have actually been commenced (a “Taking”, and such proceeds, “Condemnation Proceeds”, and together with Insurance Proceeds, collectively, “Restoration Proceeds”) are hereby assigned to Lender as additional collateral security hereunder subject to the Lien of the Mortgage, to be applied in accordance with this Article 7. Lender shall be entitled to receive and collect all Restoration Proceeds, and Borrower shall instruct and cause the issuer of each policy of insurance described herein and any applicable Governmental Authority to deliver to Lender all Restoration Proceeds. Borrower shall execute such further assignments of the Restoration

 

58


Proceeds as Lender may from time to time reasonably require. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Restoration Proceeds, less the amount of Lender’s costs and expenses (including attorneys’ fees and costs) incurred in collecting the same (the “Net Restoration Proceeds”), are $2,000,000 or less (the “Restoration Proceeds Threshold”), provided no Event of Default then exists, Lender shall deliver such Net Restoration Proceeds to Borrower. All Insurance Proceeds received by Borrower or Lender in respect of business interruption coverage, and all Condemnation Proceeds received with respect to a temporary Taking available to Borrower exceeding $100,000 in the aggregate, shall be deposited in a segregated escrow account with Lender or its servicer, as applicable, and Lender shall estimate the number of months required for Borrower to restore the damage caused by such Casualty or replace cash flow interrupted by such temporary Taking, as applicable, and shall divide the aggregate proceeds by such number of months, and, provided no Event of Default then exists, shall disburse a monthly installment thereof to Borrower each such month. Subject to Lender’s rights under Section 7.8, provided no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and the Restoration has been completed in accordance with this Agreement, any Net Restoration Proceeds available to Borrower for Restoration, to the extent not used by Borrower in connection with, or to the extent they exceed the cost of such Restoration and any costs incurred by Lender, shall be retained by Borrower.

(b) Lender shall be entitled at its option to participate in any compromise, adjustment or settlement in connection with (i) any insurance policy claims relating to any Casualty, and (ii) any Taking in an amount in controversy, in either case, in excess of the Restoration Proceeds Threshold, and Borrower shall within ten (10) Business Days after request therefor reimburse Lender for all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements) incurred by Lender in connection with such participation. Borrower shall not make any compromise, adjustment or settlement in connection with any such claim in excess of the Restoration Proceeds Threshold or if an Event of Default then exists without the prior written approval of Lender. Borrower shall not make any compromise, adjustment or settlement in connection with any claim unless same is commercially reasonable.

(c) If and to the extent Restoration Proceeds are not required to be made available to Borrower to be used for the Restoration of the Improvements, Equipment and Inventory affected by the Casualty or Taking, as applicable, pursuant to this Agreement, Lender shall be entitled, without Borrower’s consent, to apply such Restoration Proceeds or the balance thereof, at Lender’s option either (i) to the full or partial payment or prepayment of the Indebtedness in accordance with Section 5(b) of the Note; provided that such payment or prepayment shall not require any defeasance of the Loan and shall be without the payment of the Prepayment Premium, unless an Event of Default has occurred and is then continuing, in which event, Borrower shall pay to Lender an amount equal to the Prepayment Premium, if any, that may be required with respect to the amount of Insurance Proceeds or Condemnation Proceeds applied to the Indebtedness, or (ii) to the Restoration of all or any part of such Improvements, Equipment and Inventory affected by the Casualty or Taking, as applicable.

Section 7.8 Restoration. Borrower shall restore and repair the Improvements and Equipment or any part thereof now or hereafter damaged or destroyed by any Casualty or affected by any Taking; provided, however, that if the Casualty is not insured against or insurable, Borrower shall so restore and repair even though no Insurance Proceeds are received. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in Section 7.7, Lender agrees that Lender shall

 

59


make the Net Restoration Proceeds (other than business interruption insurance proceeds, which shall be held and disbursed as provided in Section 7.7) available to Borrower for Borrower’s restoration and repair of the Improvements, Equipment and Inventory affected by the Casualty or Taking (a “Restoration”), as applicable, on the following terms and subject to Borrower’s satisfaction of the following conditions; provided, that Lender shall have the right to waive any of the following conditions in its discretion:

(a) At the time of such Casualty or Taking, as applicable, and at all times thereafter there shall exist no Event of Default;

(b) The Improvements, Equipment and Inventory affected by the Casualty or Taking, as applicable, shall be capable of being restored (including replacements) to substantially the same condition, utility, quality and character, as existed immediately prior to such Casualty or Taking, as applicable, in all material respects with a fair market value and projected cash flow of the Property equal to or greater than prior to such Casualty or Taking, as applicable;

(c) Borrower shall demonstrate to Lender’s reasonable satisfaction Borrower’s ability to pay the Indebtedness coming due during such repair or restoration period (after taking into account proceeds from business interruption insurance carried by Borrower);

(d) Borrower shall have provided to Lender all of the following, and collaterally assigned the same to Lender pursuant to assignment documents acceptable to Lender; (i) an architect’s contract with an architect reasonably acceptable to Lender and complete plans and specifications for the Restoration of the Improvements, Equipment and Inventory lost or damaged to the condition, utility and value required by Section 7.8(b); (ii) fixed-price or guaranteed maximum cost construction contracts with contractors reasonably acceptable to Lender for completion of the Restoration work in accordance with the aforementioned plans and specifications; (iii) such additional funds (if any) as are necessary from time to time, in Lender’s reasonable opinion, to complete the Restoration (which funds shall be held by Lender as additional collateral securing the Indebtedness and shall be disbursed, if at all, pursuant to this Article 7); and (iv) copies of all permits and licenses necessary to complete the Restoration in accordance with the plans and specifications and all Legal Requirements.

(1) Borrower shall use commercially reasonable efforts to commence such work within one hundred twenty (120) days after such Casualty or Taking, as applicable, and shall diligently pursue such work to completion;

(e) Lender shall be satisfied that the Restoration will be completed on or before the earliest to occur of (A) the Maturity Date, (B) such time as may be required under applicable Legal Requirements in order to repair and restore the Property to the condition it was in immediately prior to such Casualty or such Taking, as applicable, (C) the expiration of the business interruption insurance coverage referred to in Section 7.1(d) (unless Borrower deposits funds with Lender to cover the business interruption period not covered by such insurance), and (D) earliest date required pursuant to the terms of any TPO Lease; and

(f) the Property and the use thereof after the Restoration will be in compliance with all applicable Legal Requirements.

 

60


Section 7.9 Disbursement.

(a) Each disbursement by Lender of such Restoration Proceeds shall be funded subject to conditions and in accordance with disbursement procedures which a commercial construction lender would typically establish in the exercise of sound banking practices, including requiring lien waivers and any other documents, instruments or items which may be reasonably required by Lender.

(b) In no event shall Lender be obligated to make disbursements of Restoration Proceeds in excess of an amount equal to the costs actually incurred from time to time for work in place as part of the Restoration, as determined by Lender, less, as to each contractor, subcontractor or materialman engaged in a Restoration, an amount equal to the greater of (i) ten percent (10%) of the costs actually incurred for work in place as part of such Restoration, as reasonably determined by Lender, and (ii) the amount actually withheld by Borrower (the “Casualty Retainage”). The Casualty Retainage shall not be released until Lender reasonably determines that the Restoration has been completed in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement and that all approvals necessary for the re-occupancy and use of the Property have been obtained from all appropriate Governmental Authorities, and Lender receives evidence satisfactory to Lender that the costs of the Restoration have been paid in full or will be paid in full out of the Casualty Retainage.

any source whatsoever relating in any way to an actual or threatened Release of Hazardous Substances in violation of Environmental Laws or the Remediation thereof or to any claim that Borrower or Pledgor is liable for the Release of Hazardous Substances or for the violation of Environmental Law; (e) Borrower and Pledgor shall, as may reasonably be required by Lender from time to time, but in no event more than twice yearly so long as no Event of Default exists, use its commercially reasonable efforts to provide Lender with an update, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Lender, as to the status of the Compliance Activity pursuant to the Existing Environmental Indemnity Agreements and any Remediation activities arising out of the Stevens Pass Environmental Issues; provided, however, if Lender has a reasonable belief that any such Compliance Activity or Remediation is not being completed in compliance with Environmental Laws or is not being diligently pursued to completion, Lender may require such reporting more frequently as it reasonably requires; and (f) neither Borrower nor Pledgor shall agree to any deed restriction, deed notice, restrictive covenant or other institutional control on the Property proposed as part of any Remediation or Compliance Activity. Borrower and Pledgor shall provide Lender with a copy of and a reasonable opportunity to review, approve and comment upon all reports related to such Compliance Activity or Remediation and any plan prepared with respect thereto regarding the Property Conditions and for which and to the same extent that Borrower or Pledgor has an opportunity to review, approve or comment upon prior to submission or implementation. Further, Borrower and Pledgor shall immediately notify Lender in writing upon becoming aware or receiving notice that (i) any Compliance Activity or Remediation is being implemented in violation of Environmental Laws or any requirement of a Governmental Authority, including, without limitation, any Voluntary Cleanup Agreement; or (ii) there is any material change in the scope, duration or cost of the Compliance Activity or Remediation which would be reasonably likely to adversely affect the use, operation or value of the Property (including the Forest Service Land), result in any liability to Borrower or Pledgor or any of its tenants or other occupants at the Property, or materially delay, condition or prevent the issuance of closure and/or no further action by the applicable Governmental Authority with jurisdiction with respect to the Property Conditions.

Section 9.3 Environmental Cooperation and Access. In the event any Indemnified Party has a reasonable basis for believing that an environmental condition exists on the Property (including the Forest Service Land) in violation of Environmental Laws, upon reasonable notice from Lender, Borrower and Pledgor shall, at Borrower’s and Pledgor’s sole cost and expense, promptly cause an engineer or consultant reasonably satisfactory to Lender to conduct any environmental assessment or audit (the scope of which shall be determined in the sole and absolute discretion of Lender) and take any samples of soil, groundwater or other water, air, or building materials or any other invasive testing reasonably requested by Lender and promptly deliver to Lender the results of any such assessment, audit, sampling or other testing; and provided, further, that the Indemnified Parties and any other Person designated by the Indemnified Parties, may at its option, enter upon the Property (including the Forest Service Land) at all reasonable times to assess any and all aspects of the environmental condition of the Property (including the Forest Service Land) and its use.

Section 9.4 Environmental Indemnity. Each of Borrower and Pledgor covenants and agrees, at its sole cost and expense, to protect, defend, indemnify, release and hold each Indemnified Party harmless from and against any and all Losses imposed upon or incurred by or asserted against any Indemnified Party and directly or indirectly arising out of or in any way

 

67


relating to any one or more of the following: (a) any past, present or future, actual or threatened Release of Hazardous Substances in, on, above, under, from or affecting the Property (including the Forest Service Land), or any Remediation thereof; (b) the imposition, recording or filing or the threatened imposition, recording or filing of any Environmental Lien encumbering the Property; (c) any misrepresentation or inaccuracy in any representation or warranty concerning Hazardous Substances; and (d) any breach of Section 9.1 or Section 9.2 of this Agreement (collectively, “Environmental Claims”); provided, however, that this indemnity shall not apply if Borrower can conclusively prove that (A) the contamination of the Property was caused solely by actions, conditions, or events that occurred after the date that Lender (or any purchaser at a foreclosure sale) actually acquired title to the Property, and (B) the contamination of the Property was not caused by, contributed to, enhanced, or exacerbated by the direct or indirect actions or inaction of Borrower, any partner(s) of Borrower, any partner(s) of any partner(s) of Borrower, any member(s) of Borrower, or any officer(s), shareholder(s), employee(s), or agent(s) of Borrower.

Section 9.5 Duty to Defend. Solely regarding Environmental Claims and upon request by any Indemnified Party, Borrower and Pledgor shall defend same (if requested by any Indemnified Party, in the name of the Indemnified Party) by attorneys and other professionals reasonably approved by such Indemnified Party. Alternatively, any Indemnified Party may, in its reasonable discretion and at its sole cost and expense, engage their own attorneys and other professionals to defend or assist them, and, at the option of such Indemnified Party, its attorneys shall control the resolution of any claim or proceeding, provided that no compromise or settlement shall be entered without the consent of Borrower and Pledgor, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. Upon demand, Borrower and Pledgor shall pay or, in the sole discretion of any Indemnified Party, reimburse, such Indemnified Party for the payment of reasonable fees and disbursements of attorneys, engineers, environmental consultants, laboratories and other professionals in connection therewith.

ARTICLE 10

SECONDARY MARKET TRANSACTIONS

Section 10.1 General. Each of Borrower and Pledgor hereby acknowledges that Lender may in one or more transactions (a) sell or securitize the Loan or portions thereof in one or more transactions through the issuance of securities, which securities may be rated by the Rating Agencies, (b) sell or otherwise transfer the Loan or any portion thereof one or more times (including selling or assigning its duties, rights or obligations hereunder or under any Loan Document in whole, or in part, to a servicer and/or a trustee), (c) sell participation interests in the Loan one or more times, (d) re-securitize the securities issued in connection with any securitization, and/or (e) further divide the Loan into two or more separate notes or components and/or reallocate a portion of the Loan to a mezzanine loan to be secured by direct and/or indirect Equity Interests in Borrower or Pledgor (the transactions referred to in clauses (a) through (e) above, each a “Secondary Market Transaction” and collectively “Secondary Market Transactions”). With respect to any Secondary Market Transaction described in clause (e) above, (i) such notes, note components, and mezzanine loans may be assigned different principal amounts and interest rates, so long as immediately after the effective date of such modification, the aggregate amount of, and the weighted average of the interest rates payable under, any Loan and such component note(s) or mezzanine loan, equal the outstanding Principal Indebtedness of

 

68


such Loan and applicable Interest Rate, respectively, immediately prior to such modification, and (ii) each of Borrower and Pledgor agrees, at Lender’s expense, to (A) modify its organizational structure to create one or more new Single-Purpose Entities to be the mezzanine borrower(s) (and to be otherwise satisfactory to Lender) and cause the same and any other owners of direct or indirect Equity Interest in Borrower or Pledgor to enter into such agreements deemed reasonably necessary by Lender to evidence and secure such mezzanine loan, and (B) execute and deliver to Lender such amendments to the Loan Documents, title insurance endorsements, legal opinions and other customary loan documentation as Lender may reasonably require in connection therewith).

Section 10.2 Borrower and Pledgor Cooperation. Each of Borrower and Pledgor shall execute and deliver to Lender such documents, instruments, certificates, financial statements, assignments and other writings, do such other acts and provide such information, and participate in such meetings and discussions, in each case that are necessary to facilitate the consummation of each Secondary Market Transaction, all at Lender’s expense.

Section 10.3 Dissemination of Information. If Lender determines at any time to participate in a Secondary Market Transaction, Lender may forward to each purchaser, transferee, assignee, servicer, participant or investor in such securities (collectively, the “Investors”), any Rating Agency rating such securities, any organization maintaining databases on the underwriting and performance of commercial loans, trustee, counsel, accountant, and each prospective Investor, all documents and information which Lender now has or may hereafter acquire relating to the Loan, Borrower, any direct or indirect equity owner of Borrower, Pledgor any direct or indirect equity owner of Pledgor, any guarantor, any indemnitor, the Equity Collateral and the Property (including the Forest Service Land), which shall have been furnished by Borrower, Pledgor, any Affiliate of Borrower or Pledgor, any guarantor, any indemnitor, or any party to any Loan Document, or otherwise furnished in connection with the Loan, as Lender in its discretion determines necessary or desirable.

Section 10.4 Change of Payment Date. At any time prior to securitization of the Loan by Lender, Lender shall have the right to change the Payment Date to a date other than as set forth in the Note (such new date, the “New Payment Date”) on thirty (30) days notice to Borrower; provided, however, that any such change in the Payment Date: (i) shall not modify the amount of regularly scheduled monthly principal and interest payments, except that the first payment of principal and interest payable on the New Payment Date shall be accompanied by interest at the Interest Rate for the period from the Payment Date in the month in which the New Payment Date first occurs to the New Payment Date and (ii) shall extend the Maturity Date to the New Payment Date occurring in the calendar month set forth in the definition of Maturity Date.

Section 10.5 Register. For purposes of this Section 10.5, “Registrar” means The Prudential Insurance Company of America unless the Loan is transferred and The Prudential Insurance Company of America no longer owns any interest in the Loan, in which case, the servicer of the Loan. The Registrar, as agent of Borrower, shall maintain a record that identifies each owner (including successors, assignees, and participants) of an interest in the Loan, including the name and address of the owner, and each owner’s rights to principal and interest (the “Register”), and shall record all transfers of an interest in the Loan, including each assignment and participation, in the Register. Failure to make any such recordation, or any error

 

69


in such recordation shall not affect Borrower’s obligations in respect of such rights. Interests in the Loan (including assignments and participations) may be transferred only by notifying the Registrar, as agent of Borrower, of the proposed transfer and the name of the transferee, assignee or participant, and the Registrar, on behalf of Borrower, will update the Register to reflect the transfer. The Registrar shall permit Borrower to review such information as reasonably needed for Borrower to comply with its obligations under this Agreement or under any Legal Requirements. The parties intend for the Loan to be in registered form for tax purposes and this provision shall be construed in accordance with that intent.

Section 10.6 Borrower and Pledgor Indemnification. In connection with any Secondary Market Transaction, each of Borrower and Pledgor shall indemnify (a) each Indemnified Party and (b) the party that has filed the registration statement relating to the Secondary Market Transaction (the “Registration Statement”), each of its directors and officers who have signed the Registration Statement and each Person that controls such party within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act, and the party named as depositor in any private placement memorandum and each of its directors and officers who have signed the Registration Statement and each Person that controls such party (collectively, the “Underwriter Group”), for any Losses to which any of them may become subject (i) insofar as the Losses arise out of or are based upon any untrue statement of any material fact made by Borrower, Pledgor or Guarantor with respect to Borrower or Pledgor, any of Borrower’s or Pledgor’s Affiliates, Guarantor, the Property (including the Forest Service Land), the Equity Collateral or any Third Party Operator, or arise out of or are based upon the omission by Borrower, Pledgor or Guarantor to state therein a material fact required to be stated in order to make such statements, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, or (ii) as a result of any untrue statement of material fact in any of the financial statements of Borrower, Pledgor or Guarantor or the failure to include in such financial statements any material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading; provided however, the indemnification described in this Section 10.6 shall not apply to any matter described in the foregoing clauses (i) and (ii) in the event that, (a) Lender fails to provide the applicable Registration Statement (or drafts or excerpts thereof containing the statements regarding which indemnity is sought hereunder) to Borrower and/or Pledgor for review prior to the applicable Secondary Market Transaction, or (b) prior to the applicable Secondary Market Transaction, Borrower and/or Pledgor inform Lender in writing of the existence of any untrue statement of material fact or omission of a material fact described in the preceding clauses (i) and (ii), and Lender (or any applicable member of the Underwriter Group) fails to correct such untrue statement or omission. In addition, in connection with the foregoing, each of Borrower and Pledgor agrees to reimburse the Indemnified Party and the Underwriter Group for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by the Indemnified Party and the Underwriter Group in connection with investigating or defending the Losses.

Section 10.7 Additional Financial Information.

(a) If requested by Lender in connection with a public securitization in which the Loan constitutes at least ten percent (10%) of the assets of the securitization, Borrower and Pledgor, at Lender’s expense, shall provide Lender with all financial statements and other financial, statistical or operating information, to the extent required pursuant to Regulation S-X

 

70


of the Securities Act or any other Legal Requirements in connection with any (1) preliminary or final private placement memorandum or other offering documents or (2) preliminary or final prospectus, as applicable (each, a “Disclosure Document”) or any filing under or pursuant to the Securities Act or the Exchange Act in connection with or relating to a securitization (each, a “Securities Filing”). All financial statements provided by Borrower and Pledgor pursuant to this Section shall be prepared in accordance with GAAP and shall meet the requirements of Regulation S-X and other applicable Legal Requirements. All financial statements reporting for a full operating year (1) shall be audited by the independent accountants in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards, Regulation S-X and all other applicable Legal Requirements, (ii) shall be accompanied by the manually executed report of the independent accountants thereon, which report shall meet the requirements of Regulation S-X and all other applicable Legal Requirements, and (iii) shall be accompanied by a manually executed written consent of the independent accountants, acceptable to Lender, that authorizes the inclusion of such financial statements in any Disclosure Document or Securities Filing and permits the use of the name of such independent accountants and reference to such independent accountants as “experts” in any Disclosure Document and Securities Filing, all of which shall be provided, at Borrower’s and Pledgor’s expense, at the same time as the related financial statements are required to be provided. All other financial statements shall be certified by the chief financial officer of the Borrower and/or Pledgor, which certification shall state that such financial statements meet the requirements set forth in the first sentence of this paragraph.

(b) If requested by Lender, Borrower and/or Pledgor shall provide Lender, promptly upon request, with any other or additional financial statements or financial, statistical or operating information as Lender determines to be required pursuant to Regulation S-X or other legal requirements in connection with any Disclosure Document or any Securities Filing.

Whenever in this Agreement any of the parties hereto is referred to, such reference shall be deemed to include the successors and assigns of such party. All covenants, promises and agreements in this Agreement contained, by or on behalf of Borrower and Pledgor, shall inure to the benefit of the respective successors and assigns of Lender. Nothing in this Agreement or in any other Loan Document, express or implied, shall give to any Person other than the parties and the holder(s) of the Note, the Mortgage, the Pledge Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and their legal representatives, successors and assigns, any benefit or any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim hereunder.

 

71


Section 12.2 Lender’s Discretion. Whenever pursuant to this Agreement or any other Loan Document, Lender exercises any right, option or election given to Lender to approve or disapprove, or consent or withhold consent, or any arrangement or term is to be satisfactory to Lender or is to be in Lender’s discretion, the decision of Lender to approve or disapprove, consent or withhold consent, or to decide whether arrangements or terms are satisfactory or not satisfactory or acceptable or not acceptable to Lender in Lender’s discretion, shall (except as is otherwise specifically herein provided) be in the sole and absolute discretion of Lender and may be given or withheld for any or for no reason or given conditionally.

(a) This Agreement and each of the other Loan Documents (except as set forth therein) shall be interpreted and enforced according to the laws of the State of New York (without giving effect to rules regarding conflict of laws).

(b) Each of Borrower and Pledgor hereby consents and submits to the exclusive jurisdiction and venue of the Supreme Court of New York County, New York, and the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York, with respect to any legal action or proceeding arising with respect to the Loan Documents and waives all objections which it may have to such jurisdiction and venue.

Section 12.4 Modification, Waiver in Writing. No modification, amendment, extension, discharge, termination or waiver of any provision of this Agreement, the Note or any other Loan Document, or consent to any departure by Borrower or Pledgor therefrom, shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be in a writing signed by the party against whom enforcement is sought, and then such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance, and for the purpose, for which given. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, no notice to or demand on Borrower or Pledgor shall entitle Borrower or Pledgor to any other or future notice or demand in the same, similar or other circumstances.

Section 12.5 Delay Not a Waiver. Neither any failure nor any delay on the part of Lender in insisting upon strict performance of any term, condition, covenant or agreement, or exercising any right, power, remedy or privilege under any Loan Document, or any other instrument given as security therefor, shall operate as or constitute a waiver thereof, nor shall a single or partial exercise thereof preclude any other future exercise, or the exercise of any other right, power, remedy or privilege. In particular, and not by way of limitation, by accepting payment after the due date of any amount payable under any Loan Document, Lender shall not be deemed to have waived any right either to require prompt payment when due of all other amounts due under any Loan Document, or to declare a default for failure to effect prompt payment of any such other amount.

Each of Borrower and Pledgor hereby expressly waives the right to receive any notice from Lender with respect to any matter for which this Agreement or the other Loan Documents does not specifically and expressly provide for the giving of notice by Lender to Borrower or Pledgor.

Section 12.12 Intentionally Omitted.

Section 12.13 Exhibits Incorporated. The information set forth on the cover, heading and recitals hereof, the Schedules attached hereto, the Exhibits attached hereto, are hereby incorporated herein as a part of this Agreement with the same effect as if set forth in the body hereof.

Section 12.14 Offsets, Counterclaims and Defenses. Any assignee of Lender’s interest in and to the Loan Documents shall take the same free and clear of all offsets, counterclaims or defenses which are unrelated to the Loan, and the Loan Documents which Borrower or Pledgor may otherwise have against any assignor, and no such unrelated counterclaim or defense shall be interposed or asserted by Borrower or Pledgor in any action or proceeding brought by any such assignee upon, the Loan Documents and any such right to interpose or assert any such unrelated offset, counterclaim or defense in any such action or proceeding is hereby expressly waived by Borrower and Pledgor.

The parties hereto acknowledge that they were represented by counsel in connection with the negotiation and drafting of the Loan Documents and that the Loan Documents shall not be subject to the principle of construing their meaning against the party which drafted same.

Section 12.19 Brokers and Financial Advisors. Each of Borrower and Pledgor hereby represent that they have dealt with no financial advisors, brokers, underwriters, placement agents, agents or finders (“Broker”) in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement except for Holliday Fenoglio Fowler, LP. Each of Borrower and Pledgor hereby agrees to indemnify and hold Lender harmless from and against any and all Losses in any way relating to, arising out of or incurred as a result of the inaccuracy of such representation or a claim by any Person that such Person acted on behalf of Borrower or Pledgor in connection with the transactions contemplated herein. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in any Loan Document, Borrower shall have full recourse liability for this indemnity. Borrower and Pledgor agree that Lender is not responsible for any advise, assurances, waivers or recommendations given to Borrower or Pledgor by Broker (including, without limitation, statements made concerning the economic terms of the agreements between Lender and Broker) or actions taken by Broker, that Lender and Borrower and Pledgor are dealing at arm’s length with each other in a commercial lending transaction, and that no fiduciary or other special relationship exists or shall exist between them. Borrower and Pledgor acknowledge and agree that Lender may have a separate compensation arrangement with Broker pursuant to which Lender may make payments to Broker or other compensation may be earned by Broker. The payments may, among others, take the form of (a) a direct, one-time payment and/or periodic payments, and/or (b) incentive payments or other benefits based on various factors, including, without limitation, the volume of business done with Lender (which may include the Loan and other loans made by Lender), over a longer period of time and/or (c) an ongoing interest strip in the Loan. Such compensation may be in addition to the fees paid to Broker by Borrower. In addition, Broker may act as a primary servicer or sub-servicer for (or retain the right to service) the Loan and receive fees or compensation, as determined by Lender, relating to (x) such servicing activity or (y) a buyout or other termination of such servicing rights. The provisions of this Section 12.19 shall survive the expiration and termination of this Agreement and the repayment of the Indebtedness.

Section 12.25 Liability and Indemnification.

(a) Lender shall not be liable for any loss sustained by Borrower or Pledgor resulting from any act or omission of any Indemnified Party unless it is finally judicially determined that such loss was solely caused by the fraud, gross negligence or willful misconduct of Lender or any Indemnified Party. Lender shall not be obligated to perform or discharge any obligation, duty or liability with respect to the ownership, operation and/or maintenance of the Property or the Forrest Service Land (including under any Lease, Contract, Permit or Forest Service Permits) or the Equity Collateral or under or by reason of any Loan Document. Unless and until Lender becomes the fee owner of the Property (and the permit holder with respect to the Forest Service Land) following an Event of Default, the Loan Documents shall not place responsibility for the control, care, management or repair of the Property (including the Forest Service Land) upon Lender, nor for complying with any Lease, Contract, Permit or Forest Service Permits; nor shall it make Lender responsible or liable for any waste committed on the

 

77

(b) Each of Borrower and Pledgor shall indemnify and hold each Indemnified Party harmless against any and all Losses, and reimburse them for any costs and expenses incurred, in connection with, arising out of or as a result of (i) the negotiation, preparation, execution and delivery of the Loan Documents and the documents and instruments referred to therein, (ii) the creation, perfection or protection of Lender’s Liens in the Equity Collateral and the Property (including fees and expenses for title and lien searches and filing and recording fees, intangibles taxes, personal property taxes, mortgage recording taxes, due diligence expenses, travel expenses, accounting firm fees, costs of the appraisal, environmental report(s) (and an environmental consultant), surveys and the engineering report(s) obtained by or delivered to Lender in connection with the Loan, (iii) the negotiation, preparation, execution and delivery of any amendment, waiver or consent relating to any of the Loan Documents, (iv) the exercise of any of Lender’s or any Indemnified Party’s remedies under any Loan Document, (v) any alleged or actual obligations or undertakings to perform or discharge any obligation, duty or liability with respect to the ownership, operation and/or maintenance of the Property and the Forest Service Land (including under any Lease, Contract, Permit or Forest Service Permit), except to the extent that it is finally judicially determined that any such Loss resulted directly and solely from the fraud, gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnified Party, (vi) any Transaction Taxes, (vii) (a) a Violation, (b) in the investigation, defense, and settlement of a Violation, (c) as a result of a breach of the representations in Section 4.7, (d) in correcting any prohibited transaction or the sale of a prohibited loan, and (e) in obtaining any individual prohibited transaction exemption under ERISA that may be required, in Lender’s discretion, (viii) an OFAC Violation, or (ix) any Prior Taxes. If any Indemnified Party becomes involved in any action, proceeding or investigation in connection with any matter described in clauses (i) through (viii) above, Borrower and Pledgor shall upon request, defend such Indemnified Party (in Borrower’s, Pledgor’s or the Indemnified Party’s names) by attorneys and other professionals approved by such Indemnified Party. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Indemnified Parties may, in their sole and absolute discretion and at their sole cost and expense, engage their own attorneys and professionals to defend or assist them and, at their option, their attorneys shall control the resolution of any claims or proceedings. Upon demand, Borrower and/or Pledgor shall pay or, in the sole and absolute discretion of the Indemnified Parties, reimburse and/or indemnify the Indemnified Parties for all costs imposed on, incurred by, or asserted against the Indemnified Parties by reason of any items set forth in this Section and/or the enforcement or preservation of the Indemnified Parties’ rights under the Loan Documents. Any amount payable to the Indemnified Parties under this Section shall (a) be deemed a demand obligation, (b) be part of the Indebtedness, (c) bear interest from the date of demand at the Default Rate, until paid if not paid on demand, and (d) be secured by the Lien of the Loan Documents.

Section 12.26 Publicity. Lender shall have the right, with reasonable notice and copies to the Borrower, to issue press releases, advertisements and other promotional materials describing the Loan (including the amount and purpose of the Loan) and Lender’s participation in the origination of the Loan or the Loan’s inclusion in any Secondary Market Transaction effectuated or to be effectuated by Lender. All news releases, publicity or advertising by

 

78


Borrower, Pledgor or their respective affiliates through any media intended to reach the general public which refers to the Loan Documents or the financing evidenced by the Loan Documents, to Lender or any of its Affiliates shall be subject to the prior approval of Lender, except for disclosures required by law which shall not require Lender approval but which shall require prior notice to Lender.

Section 12.27 Time of the Essence. Time shall be of the essence in the performance of all obligations of Borrower and Pledgor hereunder and under each of the other Loan Documents.

Section 12.28 Taxes. All payments made under the Loan Documents shall be made free and clear of, and without deduction or withholding for or on account of, any present or future income, stamp or other taxes, levies, imposts, duties, charges, fees, deductions or withholdings, and all liabilities with respect thereto, now or hereafter imposed, levied, collected, withheld or assessed by any Governmental Authority (“Transaction Taxes”). If Borrower or Pledgor is required by law to deduct any Transaction Taxes from any sum payable under the Loan Document, such sum shall be increased as necessary so that after making all required deductions (including deductions applicable to additional sums payable under this Section 12.28), Lender receives an amount equal to the sum Lender would have received had no such deductions been made. In the event of the passage of any Legal Requirement subsequent to the date hereof in any manner changing or modifying Legal Requirements now in force governing the taxation of mortgages or security agreements or debts secured thereby or the manner of collecting such taxes so as to adversely affect Lender or the Lien of the Loan Documents, Borrower and/or Pledgor will pay any such tax on or before the due date thereof. In the event Borrower or Pledgor is prohibited by Legal Requirements from assuming liability for payment of any such taxes (or if any Legal Requirement would penalize Lender if Borrower or Pledgor makes such payment or if, in the reasonable opinion of Lender, the making of such payment might result in the imposition of interest beyond the Maximum Amount) or from paying any other Imposition, the outstanding Indebtedness shall, at the option of Lender, become due and payable on the date that is one hundred twenty (120) days after Lender provides notice to Borrower or Pledgor of such change in law and its election to accelerate the Maturity Date; and failure to pay such amounts on the date due shall be an Event of Default; provided, however, that any such prepayment made under this Section 12.28 shall be made without the payment of any Prepayment Premium.

Section 12.29 Further Assurances. Each of Borrower and Pledgor shall execute and deliver to Lender such documents, instruments, certificates, assignments and other writings, and do such other acts necessary or desirable in Lender’s reasonable discretion, to (a) evidence, preserve or protect the Property and the Equity Collateral at any time securing or intended to secure the Indebtedness, (b) enable Lender to perfect, exercise and enforce Lender’s rights and remedies under any Loan Document, (c) comply with any Legal Requirements, (d) resolve any conflicts between the Loan Documents and other agreements or contracts to which Borrower, Pledgor or the Property are subject, or (e) avoid, cure or mitigate any Material Adverse Effect.

Section 12.30 Certain Additional Rights of Lender (VCOC). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary which may be contained in this Agreement, Lender and any holder of any note representing all or any portion of the Loan (“Noteholder”) shall have:

(a) the right to call annual meetings (at which meetings the Lender and the other Noteholders who have similar rights under this Section may be permitted to attend, and any Noteholder may attend other meetings at such other times as the Lender or other Noteholders who have similar rights under this Section may be entitled to have) with Borrower’s and/or Pledgor’s management regarding the significant business activities and business and financial developments of the Borrower and Pledgor, provided, however, that such meetings shall not include discussions of environmental compliance programs or disposal of Hazardous Substances. Consultation meetings should occur at a mutually agreeable time and location; provided that the Borrower shall be under no obligation to follow or implement any advice or recommendations of Lender or any Noteholder at any such meeting. Otherwise, the Borrower shall not be required to hold any other meetings with Lender or any Noteholder unless it demonstrates to the reasonable satisfaction of the Borrower that other times (but not more frequently than quarterly) are required under applicable law after the date of this Agreement for Lender or any Noteholder to maintain its status as a “venture capital operating company” (a “VCOC”) as such term is defined in the U.S. Department of Labor Regulations codified at 29 C.F.R. Section 2510.3-101(d) (the “Plan Asset Regulation”);

(b) the right, in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, subject to compliance with applicable laws and confidentiality obligations to third parties, to examine the books and records of Borrower at any time upon reasonable notice and to a reasonable extent; provided that the rights granted in this Section shall be exercised no more than once during any twelve-month period or unless Lender or any Noteholder demonstrates to the reasonable satisfaction of the Borrower that other times are required by applicable law after the date of this Agreement for Lender or any Noteholder to maintain its status as a VCOC; provided further that Lender’s rights under this paragraph shall be at Lender’s cost unless Borrower is otherwise obligated to pay such costs pursuant to the Loan Documents; and

(c) the right, in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, to receive all financial reports required to be delivered to Lender under the Loan

The aforementioned consultation rights are intended by Lender and each Noteholder to satisfy the requirement of management rights for purposes of the Department of Labor “plan assets” regulation 29 C.F.R., Section 2510.3-101. The rights described in this Section may be exercised by all of Lender, each Noteholder and any Person which is intended to qualify as a VCOC and owns directly or indirectly, substantially all of the interests in Lender or any Noteholder.

Section 12.31 Co-Lenders. All copies of documents, reports, requests and other delivery obligations of Borrower and Pledgor required in this Agreement or any other Loan Document shall be delivered by Borrower to each Co-Lender. The liabilities of each Co-Lender shall be several and not joint. Neither Co-Lender shall be responsible for the obligations of the other Co-Lender. All indemnities and similar agreements by Borrower or Pledgor and obligations for Losses, costs, expenses, damages, advances and similar amounts set forth in this Agreement or any other Loan Document shall run to and benefit each Co-Lender. Borrower and Pledgor acknowledge and agree that all consent, approval and similar rights (including, without limitation, all types mentioned in Section 12.2) may, at Lender’s option in its discretion, require the consent, approval, determination, and/or consultation of both Co-Lenders.

Section 13.2 Cross-Default; Cross-Collateralization; Waiver of Marshalling of Assets.

(a) Each Borrower acknowledges that Lender has made the Loan to Borrower upon the security of its collective interest in the Property and the Borrower Equity Collateral and each Pledgor’s interest in the Pledgor Equity Collateral and in reliance upon the aggregate of the Property and the Equity Collateral taken together being of greater value as collateral security than the sum of each Individual Property and each Individual Equity Collateral taken separately. Each Borrower and each Pledgor agrees that the Mortgages and the Pledge Agreements are and will be cross-collateralized and cross-defaulted with each other so that (i) an Event of Default under any of the Mortgages or the Pledge Agreements shall constitute an Event of Default under each of the other Mortgages and Pledge Agreements; (ii) an Event of Default under any Note, this Agreement or any other Loan Document shall constitute an Event of Default under each

(b) To the fullest extent permitted by law, each Borrower, for itself and its successors and assigns, and each Pledgor, for itself and its successors and assigns, waives all rights to a marshalling of the assets of Borrower, Pledgor, Borrower’s or Pledgor’s partners and others with interests in Borrower or Pledgor, and of the Property or the Equity Collateral, or to a sale in inverse order of alienation in the event of foreclosure of all or any of the Mortgages or Pledge Agreements, and agrees not to assert any right under any laws pertaining to the marshalling of assets, the sale in inverse order of alienation, homestead exemption, the administration of estates of decedents, or any other matters whatsoever to defeat, reduce or affect the right of Lender under the Loan Documents to a sale of the Property or the Equity Collateral for the collection of the Loan without any prior or different resort for collection or of the right of Lender to the payment of the Indebtedness out of the net proceeds of the Property or the Equity Collateral in preference to every other claimant whatsoever. Each Borrower, for itself and its successors and assigns, waives in the event of foreclosure of any or all of the Mortgages (or the Borrower Pledge Agreements, as applicable), any equitable right otherwise available to Borrower which would require the separate sale of any portion of the Property (or the Borrower Equity Collateral, as applicable) or require Lender to exhaust its remedies against any Individual Property (or Individual Borrower Equity Collateral, as applicable) or any combination of the Individual Properties (or Individual Borrower Equity Collateral, as applicable) before proceeding against any other Individual Property (or Individual Borrower Equity Collateral, as applicable) or combination of Individual Properties (or Individual Borrower Equity Collateral, as applicable); and further in the event of such foreclosure Borrower does hereby expressly consent to and authorize, at the option of Lender, the foreclosure and sale either separately or together of any combination of the Individual Properties (or Individual Borrower Equity Collateral, as applicable). Each Pledgor, for itself and its successors and assigns, waives in the event of foreclosure of any or all of the Pledgor Pledge Agreements, any equitable right otherwise available to Pledgor which would require the separate sale of any portion of the Pledgor Equity Collateral or require Lender to exhaust its remedies against any Individual Pledgor Equity Collateral or any combination of the Individual Pledgor Equity Collateral before proceeding against any other Individual Pledgor Equity Collateral or combination of Individual Pledgor Equity Collateral; and further in the event of such foreclosure Pledgor does hereby expressly consent to and authorize, at the option of Lender, the foreclosure and sale either separately or together of any combination of the Individual Borrower Equity Collateral.

Each Pledgor shall be jointly and severally liable for payment of the Indebtedness (pursuant to the Pledgor Pledge Agreements) and the performance of all other obligations of all Pledgors (or any of them) under this Agreement and any other Loan Document.

Section 13.4 Borrower Contribution.

(a) Each Individual Borrower will benefit, directly and indirectly, from each Individual Borrower’s obligation to pay the aggregate Indebtedness and perform its obligations under the Loan Documents. In consideration therefor, the Individual Borrowers desire to enter into an allocation and contribution agreement among themselves as set forth in this Section 13.4 to allocate such benefits among themselves and to provide a fair and equitable agreement to make contributions among each of the Individual Borrowers in the event any payment is made by any Individual Borrower hereunder to Lender (any such payment, a “Borrower Contribution”, including any exercise of recourse by Lender against any Individual Property (or any portion thereof), or any Individual Borrower Equity Collateral (or any portion thereof), of an Individual Borrower and application of proceeds of such Individual Property (or any portion thereof) or any Individual Borrower Equity Collateral (or any portion thereof) in satisfaction of such Individual Borrower’s obligations to Lender under the Loan Documents).

(b) Each Individual Borrower shall be liable hereunder with respect to the aggregate Indebtedness only for such total maximum amount (if any) that would not render its Indebtedness hereunder or under any of the Loan Documents subject to avoidance under Section 548 of the Federal Bankruptcy Code or any comparable provisions of any State law.

(c) In order to provide for a fair and equitable contribution among Individual Borrowers in the event that any Borrower Contribution is made by an Individual Borrower (a “Funding Borrower”), such Funding Borrower shall be entitled to a reimbursement Borrower Contribution (“Borrower Reimbursement Contribution”) from all other Individual Borrowers for all payments, damages and expenses incurred by such Funding Borrower in discharging any of the aggregate Indebtedness, in the manner and to the extent set forth in this Section.

(d) Each Individual Borrower shall be liable to a Funding Borrower in an amount equal to the greater of (i) (A) the ratio of the Borrower Benefit Amount (as defined below) of such Individual Borrower to the total amount of aggregate Indebtedness, multiplied by (B) the amount of aggregate Indebtedness paid by such Funding Borrower, and (ii) ninety-five percent (95%) of the excess of (A) the fair saleable value of the Individual Property (or Individual Borrower Equity Collateral, as applicable) owned by such Individual Borrower over (B) the total liabilities of such Individual Borrower (including the maximum amount reasonably expected to become due in respect of contingent liabilities) determined as of the date on which the payment made by a Funding Borrower is deemed made for purposes hereof (giving effect to all payments made by other Funding Borrowers as of such date in a manner to maximize the amount of such Borrower Contributions). For purposes hereof, the “Borrower Benefited Amount” of any Individual Borrower as of any date of determination shall be the net value of the benefits to such Individual Borrower and its Affiliates from extensions of credit made by Lender to (1) such Individual Borrower and (2) the other Individual Borrowers hereunder and the other Loan Document to the extent such other Individual Borrowers have guaranteed, mortgaged, or pledged their respective Individual Properties or Individual Borrower Equity Collateral to secure the obligations of such Individual Borrower to Lender.

 

83


(e) If at any time there exists more than one Funding Borrower with respect to any Borrower Contribution (in any such case, the “Applicable Borrower Contribution”), then Borrower Reimbursement Contributions from other Individual Borrowers shall be allocated among such Funding Borrowers in proportion to the total amount of the Borrower Contribution made for or on account of the other Individual Borrowers by each such Funding Borrower pursuant to the Applicable Borrower Contribution. If at any time any Individual Borrower pays an amount hereunder in excess of the amount calculated pursuant to this Section 13.4, such Individual Borrower shall be deemed to be a Funding Borrower to the extent of such excess and shall be entitled to a Borrower Reimbursement Contribution from the other Individual Borrowers in accordance with the provisions of this Section.

(f) Each Individual Borrower acknowledges that the right to Borrower Reimbursement Contribution hereunder shall constitute an asset in favor of such Individual Borrower to which such Borrower Reimbursement Contribution is owing.

(g) No Borrower Reimbursement Contribution payments payable by an Individual Borrower pursuant to the terms of this Section 13.4 shall be paid until all amounts then due and payable by all of Individual Borrowers to Lender, pursuant to the terms of the Loan Documents, are paid in full. Nothing contained in this Section 13.4 shall limit or affect the Indebtedness of any Individual Borrower to Lender under the Note or any other Loan Documents.

(h) Each Individual Borrower waives:

(i) any right to require Lender to proceed against any other Individual Borrower or any other person or to proceed against or exhaust any security held by Lender at any time or to pursue any other remedy in Lender’s power before proceeding against such Individual Borrower;

(ii) any defense or rights based upon or arising out of: (A) any legal disability or other defense of any other Individual Borrower, any guarantor of any other person or by reason of the cessation or limitation of the liability of any other Individual Borrower or any guarantor from any cause other than full payment of all sums payable under the Note and the other Loan Documents; (B) any lack of authority of the officers, directors, partners or agents acting or purporting to act on behalf of any other Individual Borrower or any principal of any other Individual Borrower or any defect in the formation of any other Individual Borrower or any principal of any other Individual Borrower; (C) any statute or rule of law which provides that the obligation of a surety must be neither larger in amount nor in any other respects more burdensome than that of a principal; (D) any failure by Lender to obtain collateral for the Indebtedness or failure by Lender to perfect a lien on any Individual Property (or any portion thereof), or any Individual Borrower Equity Collateral (or any portion thereof); (E) presentment, demand, protest and notice of any kind; (F) any failure of Lender to give notice of sale or other disposition of any Individual Property (or any portion thereof) or any Individual Borrower Equity Collateral (or any portion thereof) to any other Individual Borrower or to any other Person or any defect in any notice that may be given in connection with any such sale or disposition; (G) intentionally omitted; (H) any use of cash collateral under Section 363 of the Federal Bankruptcy Code; (I) any agreement or stipulation entered into by Lender with respect to

 

84


the provision of adequate protection in any bankruptcy proceeding; (J) any borrowing or any grant of a security interest under Section 364 of the Federal Bankruptcy Code; (K) the avoidance of any security interest in favor of Lender for any reason; (L) any bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, arrangement, readjustment of debt, liquidation or dissolution proceeding, including any discharge of, or bar or stay against collecting, all or any of the obligations evidenced by the Note or owing under any of the Loan Documents; (M) such Individual Borrower’s, or any other party’s, resignation of the portion of any obligation secured by the Mortgages to be satisfied by any payment from any other Individual Borrower or any such party; or (N) an election of remedies by Lender even though the election of remedies, such as non - judicial foreclosure with respect to security for the Loan or any other amounts owing under the Loan Documents, has destroyed such Individual Borrower’s rights of subrogation and reimbursement against any other Individual Borrower;

(iii) all rights and defenses that such Individual Borrower may have because any of the Indebtedness is secured by real property. This means, among other things, subject to the exculpation provisions of Section 17 of the Note: (A) Lender may collect from such Individual Borrower without first foreclosing on any real or personal property collateral pledged by any other Individual Borrower; (B) if Lender forecloses on any real property collateral pledged by any other Individual Borrower, (1) the amount of the aggregate Indebtedness may be reduced only by the price for which that collateral is sold at the foreclosure sale, even if the collateral is worth more than the sale price, and (2) Lender may collect from such Individual Borrower even if any other Individual Borrower, by foreclosing on the real property collateral, has destroyed any right such Individual Borrower may have to collect from any other Individual Borrower. This is an unconditional and irrevocable waiver of any rights and defenses such Individual Borrower may have because any of the Indebtedness is secured by real property; and

(iv) except as may be expressly and specifically permitted herein, any claim or other right which such Individual Borrower might now have or hereafter acquire against any other Individual Borrower or any other person that arises from the existence or performance of any obligations under the Note or the other Loan Documents, including any of the following: (A) any right of subrogation, reimbursement, exoneration, contribution, or indemnification; or (B) any right to participate in any claim or remedy of Lender against any other Individual Borrower or any collateral security therefor, whether or not such claim, remedy or right arises in equity or under contract, statute or common law.

Section 13.5 Pledgor Contribution.

(a) Each Individual Pledgor will benefit, directly and indirectly, from each Individual Pledgor’s obligation to pay the aggregate Indebtedness (pursuant to the Pledgor Pledge Agreements) and perform its obligations under the Loan Documents. In consideration therefor, Individual Pledgors desire to enter into an allocation and contribution agreement among themselves as set forth in this Section 13.5 to allocate such benefits among themselves and to provide a fair and equitable agreement to make contributions among each of the Individual Pledgor’s in the event any payment is made by any Individual Pledgor to Lender pursuant to any Loan Document (any such payment, a “Pledgor Contribution”, including any exercise of recourse by Lender against any Individual Pledgor Equity Collateral (or any portion thereof) of

 

85


an Individual Pledgor and application of proceeds of such Individual Pledgor Equity Collateral (or any portion thereof) in satisfaction of such Individual Pledgor’s obligations to Lender under the Loan Documents).

(b) Each Individual Pledgor shall be liable with respect to the aggregate Indebtedness pursuant to Pledgor Pledge Agreements only for such total maximum amount (if any) that would not render its obligations hereunder or under any of the Loan Documents subject to avoidance under Section 548 of the Federal Bankruptcy Code or any comparable provisions of any State law.

(c) In order to provide for a fair and equitable contribution among Individual Pledgors in the event that any Pledgor Contribution is made by an Individual Pledgor (a “Funding Pledgor”), such Funding Pledgor shall be entitled to a reimbursement Pledgor Contribution (“Pledgor Reimbursement Contribution”) from all other Individual Pledgor for all payments, damages and expenses incurred by such Funding Pledgor in discharging any of the Indebtedness, in the manner and to the extent set forth in this Section.

(d) Each Individual Pledgor shall be liable to a Funding Pledgor in an amount equal to the greater of (i) (A) the ratio of the Pledgor Benefit Amount (as defined below) of such Individual Pledgor to the total amount of Indebtedness, multiplied by (B) the amount of Indebtedness paid by such Funding Pledgor, and (ii) ninety-five percent (95%) of the excess of (A) the fair saleable value of the Individual Pledgor Equity Collateral owned by such Individual Pledgor over (B) the total liabilities of such Individual Pledgor (including the maximum amount reasonably expected to become due in respect of contingent liabilities) determined as of the date on which the payment made by a Funding Pledgor is deemed made for purposes hereof (giving effect to all payments made by other Funding Pledgor as of such date in a manner to maximize the amount of such Pledgor Contributions). For purposes hereof, the “Pledgor Benefited Amount” of any Individual Pledgor as of any date of determination shall be the net value of the benefits to such Individual Pledgor and its Affiliates from extensions of credit made by Lender to Borrower.

(e) If at any time there exists more than one Funding Pledgor with respect to any Pledgor Contribution (in any such case, the “Applicable Pledgor Contribution”), then Pledgor Reimbursement Contributions from other Individual Pledgor shall be allocated among such Funding Pledgor in proportion to the total amount of the Pledgor Contribution made for or on account of the other Individual Pledgor by each such Funding Pledgor pursuant to the Applicable Pledgor Contribution. If at any time any Individual Pledgor pays an amount hereunder in excess of the amount calculated pursuant to this Section 13.5, such Individual Pledgor shall be deemed to be a Funding Pledgor to the extent of such excess and shall be entitled to a Pledgor Reimbursement Contribution from the other Individual Pledgor in accordance with the provisions of this Section.

Nothing contained in this Section 13.5 shall limit or affect the guaranty of the Indebtedness of any Individual Pledgor to Lender under the Pledgor Pledge Agreements or any other Loan Documents.

(h) Each Individual Pledgor waives:

(iii) except as may be expressly and specifically permitted herein, any claim or other right which such Individual Pledgor might now have or hereafter acquire against any other Individual Pledgor or any other person that arises from the existence or performance of

(ii) any such request may be made no sooner than the later of (a) nine (9) months after the Closing Date or (b) six (6) months after the completion of the most recent Property Release or Substitution, and such written request must be received no later than twelve (12) months prior to the Maturity Date (except under the circumstances described in subsection (f) below with respect to the Brighton Ski Resort);

(iii) each Released Property shall consist of an Individual Property, and each Property Release shall involve no more than one Individual Property;

(iv) for each Released Property, Borrower shall have paid to Lender the “Release Price”, which shall be equal to (a) one hundred ten percent (110%) of the then unpaid principal balance of the Allocated Loan Amount applicable to the Released Property (such amount shall herein be called the “Principal Payment Amount”) plus (b) the applicable Prepayment Premium (based on the Principal Payment Amount) plus (c) all accrued interest with respect to Allocated Loan Amount applicable to the Released Property and all accrued and unpaid charges and other amounts with respect to the Loan;

(v) the Principal Payment Amount shall be applied to pay in full the principal balance due with respect to the Allocated Loan Amount applicable to the Released Property, and Lender, in its discretion, shall apply the portion of the Principal Payment Amount which is in excess of the then outstanding principal balance of the Allocated Loan Amount applicable to the Released Property to one of more of the other Allocated Loan Amounts applicable to the other Individual Properties;

(vi) Lender shall have determined that following the Property Release, the Debt Service Coverage Ratio, calculated with respect to the remaining Property (excluding the Released Property) shall be at least equal to 2.00 to 1.00.

88


(vii) Lender shall have determined that following the Property Release, the Loan to Value Ratio, calculated with respect to the remaining Property (excluding the Released Property), shall not exceed fifty percent (50%).

(viii) at the time the Borrower makes its written request to Lender for a Property Release, Borrower shall pay to Lender a non-refundable administrative fee of $25,000.

(ix) whether or not the Property Release actually closes, Borrower shall pay to Lender all escrow, closing and recording charges and taxes including, but not limited to, the cost of preparing and delivering releases, any re-conveyance documentation and modifications of the Loan Documents, including legal fees and costs, the cost of any title insurance endorsements that Lender may require, any expenses incurred by the Lender in connection with the Property Release, and any sums then due and payable under the Loan Documents;

(x) Lender has determined that, following the release of the Released Property, the unpaid principal balance of the Loan shall be greater than sixty-one percent (61%) of the original principal amount of the Loan;

(xii) Such other terms and conditions as Lender shall reasonably require.

(b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement or any other Loan Document, Borrower shall only have the right to a combined cumulative total (during the entire term of the Loan) of two (2) Property Releases and Substitutions; provided however, in the event that two (2) Individual Properties other than the Brighton Ski Resort have been subject to a Property Release, Borrower shall have the right to a third (3rd) Property Release for the Brighton Ski Resort only, subject to the conditions of subsection (f) below.

(c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement or any other Loan Document, in no event shall the Individual Property identified as “Northstar at Tahoe” on Schedule 2 be eligible for a Property Release.

 

89


(d) For each Property Release, the Release Property shall include (i) all “Property” as defined in the applicable Mortgage encumbering the Individual Property to be released and (ii) all “Equity Collateral” as defined in the Pledge Agreement encumbering the Individual Pledgor Equity Collateral and the Individual Borrower Equity Collateral relating to the Individual Property to be released, as determined by Lender.

(e) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement or any other Loan Document, this Section 13.6 shall be personal to the Borrower, and no transferee of Borrower shall have any rights under this Section 13.6.

(f) Borrower shall have the right to a third (3rd) Property Release for the Brighton Ski Resort only, during the six months immediately preceding the Maturity Date, provided that (i) the Principal Payment Amount with respect to a Property Release of the Brighton Ski Resort during the six (6) months immediately preceding the Maturity Date shall be equal to the greater of (a) the Principal Payment Amount determined in accordance with Section 13.6(a)(iv) hereof, or (b) one hundred percent (100%) of the net sales proceeds (after payment of customary and reasonable closing costs reasonably approved by Lender), and (ii) the Principal Payment Amount determined pursuant to the preceding clause (i) shall be paid directly to Lender by the purchaser of the Brighton Ski Resort or by the escrow agent for such Property Release. Except as expressly provided in the immediately preceding sentence, any Property Release of the Brighton Ski Resort occurring within six (6) months of the Maturity Date shall comply with all other provisions of this Section 13.6.

(g) In the event that the Principal Payment Amount with respect to the Brighton Ski Resort determined in accordance with the preceding Section 13.6(f) is insufficient to (i) increase the Debt Service Coverage Ratio of the remaining Property (excluding the Released Property) to the level required pursuant to Section 13.6(a)(vi), and (ii) reduce the Loan to Value Ratio of the remaining Property (excluding the Released Property) to the level required pursuant to Section 13.6(a)(vii), then the Borrower shall pay to Lender the amounts necessary to satisfy the requirements of Sections 13.6(a)(vi) and (vii). Without limitation of the foregoing, in the event that Lender releases the Brighton Ski Resort pursuant to Section 2 of that certain Subordination, Non-Disturbance, Attornment and Estoppel Agreement of even date herewith by and among Lender, Third Party Operator, and Brighton, Borrower covenants and agrees to satisfy and perform the requirements of this Section 13.6.

(x) at the time of the Substitution, the Substitute Property shall not be less than one-hundred percent (100%) occupied by third-party tenants in occupancy and paying rent, and free rent or other rental concessions shall have been extinguished except as may otherwise be approved in writing by Lender;

(xi) the credit of the tenants (or if a lease is guaranteed, the credit of the guarantor so long as such lease is guaranteed pursuant to a guaranty satisfactory to Lender) occupying the Substitute Property and the lease rollover schedule for such tenants shall be satisfactory to Lender;

 

91


(xii) Lender shall have received a physical condition report (conforming with Lender’s then current underwriting standards) of the Substitute Property from an engineer or architect chosen by Lender, which report shall be satisfactory in all respects to Lender. In addition, Lender shall have received an environmental report (conforming with Lender’s then current underwriting standards) of the Substitute Property from an environmental consulting firm chosen by Lender, which environmental report shall be satisfactory in all respects to Lender. The cost of preparation of all such reports and all necessary inspections shall be paid by Borrower;

(xiii) the Substitute Property (including, without limitation, the location, the demographics of the market area, appearance, configuration, quality and age of the Substitute Property) shall be satisfactory to Lender;

(xiv) the value and NOI of the Substitute Property shall equal or exceed the then-market value and NOI of the Exiting Property, all as determined by Lender;

(xv) all conditions that Borrower was obligated to meet and satisfy under the terms of the Original Loan Application in connection with the closing of the Loan, or, if required by Lender, Lender’s then current closing and underwriting requirements, shall be satisfied regarding the Substitute Property, including without limitation, that (i) all Loan Documents shall be satisfactory to Lender, (ii) Lender receives satisfactory legal opinions from Borrower’s counsel, (iii) title to the Substitute Property shall be satisfactory in all respects to Lender (including, without limitation, evidence that Lender shall have a first and exclusive lien on the fee simple interest in the Substitute Property), (iv) Lender shall receive a satisfactory survey and title insurance policy, (v) Lender receives satisfactory evidence that the Substitute Property complies with all applicable governmental requirements, (vi) Borrower’s current financial condition shall be satisfactory, and (vii) if applicable, Borrower shall deliver such tri-party agreements requested by Lender in connection with any USFS permits;

At the closing of the Substitution, Borrower shall pay to Lender a non-refundable fee of 0.5% of the Allocated Loan Amount for the Exiting Property, but Lender shall credit against such 0.5% fee (which fee shall not be less than zero) the Substitution Administrative Fee Borrower previously paid to Lender. Neither the Substitution Administrative Fee nor the 0.5% fee shall be applied to the Allocated Loan Amount or the outstanding principal balance due under the Loan;

(xvii) whether or not the Substitution actually closes, Borrower shall pay all costs and expenses associated with the Substitution, including but not limited to, title insurance and survey fees and expenses, recording charges and taxes, documentary stamp taxes, intangible taxes, attorneys’ fees (including attorneys’ fees and expenses for Lender’s staff attorneys and outside counsel), fees of Lender’s architect and engineer, and fees related to any environmental report;

(xviii) Lender shall have determined after giving effect to the proposed Substitution (excluding the Exiting Property, but including the Substitute Property), the Loan to

 

92


Value Ratio for the Property shall not exceed fifty percent (50%), and Lender shall have determined that after giving effect to the proposed Substitution (excluding the Exiting Property, but including the Substitute Property), the Debt Service Coverage Ratio for the Property shall be at least 2.00 to 1.00, or in Lender’s good faith discretion, as low as 1.80 to 1.00 depending on the quality, size, operating history, industry reputation, purchase price or other factors which Lender may take into account at that time;

(xix) Lender shall have determined, that following the Substitution, the Allocated Loan Amounts of all Individual Properties that comprised part of the Property on the Closing Date and that would remain as part of the Property, shall be greater than 70% of the total original principal amount of the Loan;

(xx) Lender’s decision to accept or reject any proposed Substitute Property shall be in Lender’s discretion, it being understood that, without limiting the foregoing, under no circumstances shall the Substitute Property qualify for a Substitution unless the value of the Substitute Property is, in Lender’s judgment, equal to or greater than one hundred percent (100%) of the value of the Property, as determined by Lender, and is at least equal to the Property in each of the following respects: (a) stability of cash flow, taking into consideration weighted average lease maturities; (b) tenant credit and quality and diversification; (c) building quality and diversification; and (d) location quality and diversification. Borrower acknowledges that Lender may reject a property proposed as a Substitute Property for any reason or without giving a reason, and Borrower assumes such risk notwithstanding that it may spend substantial resources preparing the reports and other information required by Lender with respect to the Substitute Property;

(xxi) Lender determines in its discretion that the Substitution would not result in a violation of the ERISA provisions contained in Lender’s then current underwriting guidelines, and Borrower delivers such certifications and other documents as Lender may request in connection therewith; and

(xxii) Lender is satisfied, and Borrower shall deliver such assurances as may be reasonably requested by Lender (including a reaffirmation certification or other agreement) that any guaranty, indemnity or similar instrument delivered to Lender in connection with the Loan remains in full force and effect, notwithstanding and taking into consideration the Substitution.

Section 13.8 Ground Leases.

(a) Each of Borrower and Pledgor hereby covenants, represents and warrants to Lender with respect to each Ground Lease as follows:

(i) There is and has been no default in the performance of the Ground Lease by Borrower or landlord under the Ground Lease, nor has any event occurred or condition arisen to the best knowledge of Borrower and Pledgor which, with the passage of time, or the giving of notice, or both, would constitute a default under or a breach of the Ground Lease by the Borrower or landlord under the Ground Lease. Borrower is in quiet possession of the property demised under the Ground Lease (provided however, Lender acknowledges that, as of the Closing Date, Borrower does not maintain actual possession of the property demised under the Ground Lease and that actual possession is maintained by the Third Party Operator pursuant to the TPO Lease).

(ii) All rents, additional rents, percentage rents and all other charges due and payable under the Ground Lease have been fully paid to the extent same were payable prior to the date hereof.

(iii) Except as otherwise previously disclosed in writing by Borrower or Pledgor to Lender, the Ground Lease covers one hundred percent (100%) of the leasehold interest in and to the real property demised thereby, and Borrower is the owner of the entire tenant’s interest in, to and under the Ground Lease and has the right and authority under such Ground Lease to execute the Loan Documents and to encumber Borrower’s interest therein.

(iv) Borrower shall, at its sole cost and expense, promptly and timely perform and observe all the terms, covenants and conditions required to be performed and observed by Borrower as tenant under the Ground Lease (including, but not limited to, the payment of all rent, additional rent, percentage rent and other charges required to be paid under the Ground Lease).

 

94


(v) If Borrower shall violate any of the covenants specified in (iv) above, Borrower grants to Lender the right (but not the obligation), without notice to Borrower or Pledgor, to take any action as may be necessary to prevent or cure any default of Borrower under the Ground Lease, if necessary to protect Lender’s interest hereunder, and Lender shall have the right to enter all or any portion of the Property at such times and in such manner as Lender deems necessary, in order to prevent or to cure any such default.

(vi) The curing by Lender of any default by Borrower under the Ground Lease shall not remove or waive, as between Borrower or Pledgor and Lender, the default that occurred hereunder by virtue of the default by Borrower under the Ground Lease. All sums expended by Lender in order to cure any such default shall be paid by Borrower to Lender, upon demand, with interest thereon at the Default Rate unless prohibited by applicable law. All such amounts shall be added to the Indebtedness. No action or payment taken or made by Lender to prevent or cure a default by Borrower under the Ground Lease shall waive or cure the corresponding default by Borrower or Pledgor under the Loan Documents.

(vii) Borrower or Pledgor shall notify Lender promptly in writing of (a) the occurrence of any material default by the landlord under the Ground Lease or the occurrence of any event which, with the passage of time or service of notice, or both, would constitute a material default by the landlord under the Ground Lease, and/or (b) of the receipt by Borrower or Pledgor of any notice (written or otherwise) from the landlord under the Ground Lease noting or claiming the occurrence of any default by Borrower under the Ground Lease or the occurrence of any event which, with the passage of time or service of notice, or both, would constitute a default by Borrower under the Ground Lease.

(viii) Promptly upon demand by Lender from time to time, Borrower or Pledgor shall use reasonable efforts (other than payment to the landlord under the Ground Lease) to obtain from the landlord under the Ground Lease and furnish to Lender the estoppel certificate of the landlord under the Ground Lease stating the date through which rent has been paid and whether or not there are any defaults under the Ground Lease and specifying the nature of such claimed defaults, if any.

(ix) Borrower or Pledgor shall promptly notify Lender, in writing, of any request made by either party to the Ground Lease for arbitration or appraisal proceedings pursuant to the Ground Lease, and of the institution of any arbitration or appraisal proceedings, as well as of all proceedings thereunder, and shall promptly deliver to Lender a copy of the determination of the arbitrators or appraisers in each such arbitration or appraisal proceeding. Lender shall have the right (but not the obligation), following the delivery of written notice of Borrower or Pledgor, to participate in the appointment of any arbitrator or appraiser to be appointed by Borrower and to participate in such arbitration or appraisal proceedings in association with Borrower or on its own behalf as an interested party. Borrower or Pledgor shall promptly notify Lender, in writing, of the institution of any legal proceedings involving obligations under the Ground Lease. Lender may intervene in any such legal proceedings and be made a party to them. Borrower or Pledgor shall promptly provide Lender with a copy of any decisions rendered in connection with such proceedings.

 

95


(x) Borrower shall promptly execute, acknowledge and deliver to Lender such instruments as may be reasonably required to permit Lender to cure any default under the Ground Lease or permit Lender to take such other action as may be necessary to cure or remedy the matter in default and preserve the security interest of Lender under the Loan Documents. Borrower hereby irrevocably appoints Lender as its true and lawful attorney-in-fact to do, in its name or otherwise, any and all acts and to execute any and all documents which are necessary to preserve any rights of Borrower under or with respect to the Ground Lease, including, without limitation, the right to effectuate any extension or renewal of the Ground Lease, or to preserve any rights of Borrower whatsoever in respect of any part of the Ground Lease (and the above powers granted to Lender are coupled with an interest and shall be irrevocable).

(xi) Borrower shall not, without Lender’s prior written consent, surrender, terminate, forfeit, or suffer or permit, by acquiescence or otherwise, the surrender, termination or forfeiture of, or change, modify or amend, the Ground Lease. Consent to one amendment, change, agreement or modification shall not be deemed to be a waiver of the right to require consent to other, future or successive amendments, changes, agreements or modifications.

(xii) Any acquisition of the landlord’s interest in the Ground Lease by Borrower or any affiliate of Borrower shall be accomplished by Borrower in such a manner as will avoid a merger of the interests of the landlord and tenant under the Ground Lease. In the event both the landlord’s and tenant’s estate under the Ground Lease or any portion thereof shall at any time become vested in one owner, the Mortgage and the lien created thereby shall not be destroyed or terminated by application of the doctrine of merger unless Lender so elects as evidenced by recording a written declaration so stating and, unless and until Lender so elects, Lender shall continue to have and enjoy all of the rights and privileges of lender and mortgagee as to the separate estates. In addition, upon the foreclosure of the lien created by the Mortgage, any leases or subleases then existing and affecting all or any portion of the Property shall not be destroyed or terminated by application of the law of merger or as a matter of law or as a result of such foreclosure unless Lender or any purchaser at such foreclosure shall so elect. No act by or on behalf of Lender or any such purchaser shall constitute a termination of any lease or sublease unless Lender or such purchaser shall give written notice thereof to such tenant or subtenant. If Borrower shall acquire fee title to the real property subject to the Ground Lease, the Mortgage shall automatically be a lien on the fee title.

(xiii) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein contained with respect to the Ground Lease:

(1) The Lien created by the Loan Documents attaches to all of Borrower’s rights and remedies at any time arising under or pursuant to subsection 365(h) of the Bankruptcy Code, including, without limitation, all of Borrower’s rights to remain in possession of the Property.

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

 

96


(3) Borrower shall object promptly and as and when required under the Bankruptcy Code in order to prevent a sale of all or a portion of the real property underlying the Property free and clear of the Ground Lease under subsection 363(f) of the Bankruptcy Code. Lender shall have the right to act on Borrower’s behalf in connection with any such attempted sale.

(4) Borrower shall affirmatively assert and pursue its right to adequate protection under subsection 363(e) of the Bankruptcy Code in the event of any sale of all or a portion of the real property underlying the Property under subsection 363(f) of the Bankruptcy Code. Lender shall have the right to act on Borrower’s behalf in connection with the assertion of any such rights of adequate protection.

(5) As security for the Indebtedness, Borrower hereby unconditionally assigns, transfers and sets over to Lender all of Borrower’s claims and rights to the payment of damages arising under any claim or cause of action under the Bankruptcy Code. Lender and Borrower shall proceed jointly or in the name of Borrower in respect of any claim, suit, action or proceeding relating to the rejection or other termination of the Ground Lease, including, without limitation, the right to file and prosecute any proofs of claim, complaints, motions, applications, notices and other documents in any case in respect of such landlord under the Bankruptcy Code. Lender shall have the right to file all pleadings, claims, notices, proofs, objections, acceptances, and rejections on behalf of Borrower and Borrower shall not take any action in contravention of any such filings or contest any of Lender’s actions or filings in connection with any and all claims relating to a filing by the lessor under the Ground Lease under the Bankruptcy Code. Without limiting the foregoing, Borrower hereby authorizes Lender, and assigns Borrower’s rights, to vote or consent in any proceedings concerning the Ground Lease under the Bankruptcy Code. This assignment constitutes a present, irrevocable and unconditional assignment of the foregoing claims, rights and remedies, and shall continue in effect until all of the Indebtedness secured by the Loan Documents shall have been satisfied and discharged in full. Any amounts received by Lender or Borrower as damages arising under the Bankruptcy Code as aforesaid shall be applied first to all costs and expenses of Lender (including, without limitation, attorneys’ fees and costs) incurred in connection with the exercise of any of its rights or remedies under this Section 13.8 and then in accordance with the other applicable provisions of the Mortgage.

(6) If, pursuant to subsection 365(h)(2) of the Bankruptcy Code, Borrower seeks to offset, against the rent reserved in the Ground Lease, the amount of any damages caused by the nonperformance by the landlord thereunder of any of such landlord’s obligations under the Ground Lease after the rejection by the landlord under the Ground Lease under the Bankruptcy Code, Borrower shall, prior to effecting such offset, notify Lender in writing of its intent so to do, setting forth the amounts proposed to be so offset, and, in the event Lender objects, Borrower shall not effect any offset of the amounts so objected to by Lender.

(7) If any action, proceeding, motion or notice shall be commenced or filed in respect of any landlord under the Ground Lease or the real property demised by the Ground Lease or any portion thereof in connection with any case under the Bankruptcy Code, Lender and Borrower shall cooperatively conduct and control any such litigation with counsel agreed upon between Borrower and Lender in connection therewith.

 

97


Borrower shall, upon demand, pay to Lender all costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs) paid or incurred by Lender in connection with the cooperative prosecution or conduct of any such proceedings. All such costs and expenses shall be secured by the Lien created by the Loan Documents.

(8) Borrower shall promptly, after obtaining knowledge thereof, notify Lender orally of any filing by or against the landlord under the Ground Lease of a petition under the Bankruptcy Code. Borrower shall thereafter promptly give written notice of such filing to Lender, setting forth any information available to Borrower, including, without limitation, the date of such filing, the court in which such petition was filed, and the relief sought therein. Borrower shall promptly deliver to Lender, following its receipt thereof, any and all notices, summonses, pleadings, applications and other documents received by Borrower in connection with any such petition and any proceedings relating thereto.

(xiv) To the extent permitted by law, the price payable by Borrower or any other party in the exercise of the right of redemption, if any, from any sale under or decree of foreclosure of the Mortgage shall include all rents and other amounts paid and other sums advanced by Lender on behalf of Borrower as the tenant under the Ground Lease.

(xv) Borrower hereby grants and assigns to Lender a security interest in all prepaid rent and security deposits and all other security that the landlord under the Ground Lease may hold now or later for the performance of Borrower’s obligations as the tenant under the Ground Lease.

(xvi) Borrower shall not, without Lender’s written consent, fail to exercise any option or right to renew or extend the term of the Ground Lease at least six (6) months prior to the date of termination of any such option or right, shall give immediate written notice thereof to Lender, and shall execute, acknowledge, deliver and record any document requested by Lender to evidence the Lien created by the Loan Documents on such extended or renewed lease term; provided, however, that Borrower shall not be required to exercise any particular such option or right to renew or extend to the extent Borrower shall have received the prior written consent of Lender (which consent may be withheld by Lender in its discretion) allowing Borrower to forego exercising such option or right to renew or extend. If Borrower shall fail to exercise any such option or right as aforesaid, Lender may exercise the option or right as Borrower’s agent and attorney-in-fact pursuant to subsection (x) above, or in Lender’s own name or in the name of and on behalf of a nominee of Lender, as Lender may determine in the exercise of its discretion.

(xvii) Borrower shall notify Lender in writing prior to exercising any option or right to acquire fee title to the real property subject to the Ground Lease. In the event such right is exercisable by Borrower, Borrower shall give immediate written notice thereof to Lender. Upon Borrower’s exercise of such right, Borrower shall (a) execute an amendment to the Mortgage in recordable form and such other Loan Documents as Lender may require, which amendments shall spread the lien of the Mortgage to encumber the real property acquired pursuant to Borrower’s exercise of such option or right, (ii) deliver to Lender such title insurance endorsements as Lender may reasonably require, reflecting the addition of the real property to the Property, and (iii) pay all costs and expenses associated with the foregoing.

 

98


(xviii) All subleases entered into by Borrower (and all existing subleases modified or amended by Borrower) shall provide that such subleases are subordinate to the Lien created by the Loan Documents and any extensions, replacements and modifications of the Loan Documents and the Indebtedness and that if Lender forecloses under the Mortgage or enters into a new lease with any landlord under the Ground Lease, then the sublessee shall attorn to Lender or its assignee and the sublease will remain in full force and effect in accordance with its terms notwithstanding the termination of the Ground Lease.

(xix) The Ground Lease has not been amended, modified, extended, renewed, substituted or assigned and Borrower has delivered to Lender true, accurate and complete copies thereof. Upon the request of Lender, Borrower shall deposit with Lender the original fully executed Ground Lease (or a certified copy if original is no longer available), as further security to the Lender, until all of the Indebtedness is fully paid and performed. Borrower hereby represents that the Ground Lease or a legally valid memorandum thereof has been properly filed or recorded in the city, town, county or parish records (as appropriate) in which the real property covered thereby is located and that the filing and recording data for the same shall be accurately set forth in the Mortgage.

(xx) Borrower shall not waive, excuse, condone or in any way release or discharge the landlord under the Ground Lease from such landlord’s obligations and/or covenants under the Ground Lease, or any other conditions under the Ground Lease, without the prior written consent of Lender.

(xxi) The generality of the provisions of this Section relating to the Ground Lease shall not be limited by other provisions of the Loan Documents setting forth particular obligations of Borrower which are also required of Borrower with respect to the Ground Lease or the real property which is the subject thereof.

(xxii) Each of Lender’s rights contained in this Section 13.8 shall be without limitation of any other rights granted to Lender pursuant to the provisions of the Loan Documents.

Section 13.9 Forest Service Permits.

(a) Each of Borrower and Pledgor hereby covenants, represents and warrants to Lender with respect to each Forest Service Permit as follows:

(i) Borrower has obtained (in its own name) all permits issued by the USFS necessary to use, operate and manage the Property (including the Forest Service Land), and all the Forest Service Permits are in full force and effect. There exists no permit issued by the USFS in the name of the Borrower or Pledgor other than those set forth on Schedule 5 attached hereto. There is and has been no default in the performance of the Forest Service Permits by Borrower or the USFS, nor has any event occurred or condition arisen to the best knowledge of Borrower and Pledgor which, with the passage of time, or the giving of notice, or both, would constitute a default under or a breach of the Forest Service Permits by the Borrower or USFS.

 

99


(ii) All rents, additional rents, percentage rents and all other charges due and payable under the Forest Service Permits have been fully paid to the extent same were payable prior to the date hereof.

(iii) Borrower is the sole holder of the entire interest in, to and under the Forest Service Permits. No Person, other than Borrower, the Third Party Operators and parties set forth on the rent roll attached hereto as Exhibit E (subject to the terms and conditions of their respective leases) has any rights to use and/or operate the real property described in the legal description and map attached to the Forest Service Permits.

(iv) Borrower shall, at its sole cost and expense, promptly and timely perform and observe all the terms, covenants and conditions required to be performed and observed by Borrower as under the Forest Service Permits (including, but not limited to, the payment of all rent, additional rent, percentage rent and other charges required to be paid under the Forest Service Permits).

(v) If Borrower shall violate any of the covenants specified in (iv) above, Borrower grants to Lender the right (but not the obligation), without notice to Borrower or Pledgor, to take any action as may be necessary to prevent or cure any default of Borrower under any Forest Service Permit, if necessary to protect Lender’s interest hereunder, and Lender shall have the right to enter all or any portion of the Property at such times and in such manner as Lender deems necessary, in order to prevent or to cure any such default.

(vi) The curing by Lender of any default by Borrower under any Forest Service Permit shall not remove or waive, as between Borrower or Pledgor and Lender, the default that occurred hereunder by virtue of the default by Borrower under the Forest Service Permit. All sums expended by Lender in order to cure any such default shall be paid by Borrower to Lender, upon demand, with interest thereon at the Default Rate unless prohibited by applicable law. All such amounts shall be added to the Indebtedness. No action or payment taken or made by Lender to prevent or cure a default by Borrower under any Forest Service Permit shall waive or cure the corresponding default by Borrower or Pledgor under the Loan Documents.

(vii) Borrower or Pledgor shall notify Lender promptly in writing of (a) the occurrence of any material default by the USFS or the occurrence of any event which, with the passage of time or service of notice, or both, would constitute a material default by the USFS, and/or (b) of the receipt by Borrower or Pledgor of any notice (written or otherwise) from the USFS noting or claiming the occurrence of any default by Borrower under any Forest Service Permit or the occurrence of any event which, with the passage of time or service of notice, or both, would constitute a default by Borrower under any Forest Service Permit.

(viii) Promptly upon demand by Lender from time to time, Borrower or Pledgor shall use reasonable efforts (other than payment to the USFS) to obtain from the USFS and furnish to Lender the estoppel certificate of the USFS stating the date through which rent has been paid and whether or not there are any defaults under the Forest Service Permits and specifying the nature of such claimed defaults, if any.

 

100


(ix) Borrower shall promptly execute, acknowledge and deliver to Lender such instruments as may be reasonably required to permit Lender to cure any default under the Forest Service Permits or permit Lender to take such other action as may be necessary to cure or remedy the matter in default and preserve the security interest of Lender under the Loan Documents. Borrower hereby irrevocably appoints Lender as its true and lawful attorney-in-fact to do, in its name or otherwise, any and all acts and to execute any and all documents which are necessary to preserve any rights of Borrower under or with respect to the Forest Service Permits, including, without limitation, the right to effectuate any extension or renewal of any Forest Service Permit, or to preserve any rights of Borrower whatsoever in respect of any part of any Forest Service Permit (and the above powers granted to Lender are coupled with an interest and shall be irrevocable).

(x) Borrower shall not, without Lender’s prior written consent, surrender, terminate, forfeit, or suffer or permit, by acquiescence or otherwise, the surrender, termination or forfeiture of, or change, modify or amend, any Forest Service Permit. Consent to one amendment, change, agreement or modification shall not be deemed to be a waiver of the right to require consent to other, future or successive amendments, changes, agreements or modifications.

(xi) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein contained with respect to the Forest Service Permits:

(1) If and to the extent allowed under the terms of the Forest Service Permit, the Lien created by the Loan Documents will attach to all of Borrower’s rights and remedies at any time arising under or pursuant to subsection 365(h) of the Bankruptcy Code, including, without limitation, all of Borrower’s rights to remain in possession of the Property.

(2) Borrower shall not, without Lender’s written consent, elect to treat the Forest Service Permit as terminated under subsection 365(h)(1) of the Bankruptcy Code. Any such election made without Lender’s prior written consent shall be void.

(3) Borrower shall object promptly and as and when required under the Bankruptcy Code in order to prevent a sale of all or a portion of the real property underlying the Property free and clear of the Forest Service Permit under subsection 363(f) of the Bankruptcy Code. Lender shall have the right to act on Borrower’s behalf in connection with any such attempted sale.

(4) Borrower shall affirmatively assert and pursue its right to adequate protection under subsection 363(e) of the Bankruptcy Code in the event of any sale of all or a portion of the real property underlying the Property under subsection 363(f) of the Bankruptcy Code. Lender shall have the right to act on Borrower’s behalf in connection with the assertion of any such rights of adequate protection.

(xii) To the extent permitted by law, the price payable by Borrower or any other party in the exercise of the right of redemption, if any, from any sale under or decree of foreclosure of the Mortgage shall include all rents and other amounts paid and other sums advanced by Lender on behalf of Borrower as holder of the Forest Service Permit.

 

101


(xiii) Subject to the rights of the USFS therein, Borrower hereby grants and assigns to Lender a security interest in all prepaid rent and security deposits and all other security that the USFS may hold now or later for the performance of Borrower’s obligations as holder of the Forest Service Permits.

(xiv) Borrower shall not, without Lender’s written consent, exercise any option or right to acquire fee title to the Forest Service Land. In the event such right is exercisable by Borrower, Borrower shall give immediate written notice thereof to Lender. Upon Borrower’s exercise of such right, Borrower shall (a) execute an amendment to the Mortgage in recordable form and such other Loan Documents as Lender may require, which amendments shall spread the lien of the Mortgage to encumber the real property acquired pursuant to Borrower’s exercise of such option or right, (ii) deliver to Lender such title insurance endorsements as Lender may reasonably require, reflecting the addition of the real property to the Property, and (iii) pay all costs and expenses associated with the foregoing.

(xv) All permits and concessions entered into by Borrower (and all existing permits and concessions modified or amended by Borrower) which grant any rights relating to the Forest Service Land shall provide that such permits and concessions are subordinate to the Lien created by the Loan Documents and any extensions, replacements and modifications of the Loan Documents and the Indebtedness and that if Lender forecloses under the Mortgage and enters into a new permit with the USFS, then the permit and concession holders shall attorn to Lender or its assignee and the permit or concession will remain in full force and effect in accordance with its terms notwithstanding the termination of the Forest Service Permit.

(xvi) No Forest Service Permit has been amended, modified, extended, renewed, substituted or assigned and Borrower has delivered to Lender true, accurate and complete copies thereof.

(xvii) Borrower shall not waive, excuse, condone or in any way release or discharge the USFS from USFS’s obligations and/or covenants under the Forest Service Permits, or any other conditions under the Forest Service Permits, without the prior written consent of Lender.

(xviii) Borrower and Pledgor shall do or cause to be done all things necessary to preserve, renew and keep in full force and effect the Forest Service Permits.

(xix) The generality of the provisions of this Section relating to the Forest Service Permits shall not be limited by other provisions of the Loan Documents setting forth particular obligations of Borrower which are also required of Borrower with respect to the Forest Service Permits or the real property which is the subject thereof.

(xx) Each of Lender’s rights contained in this Section 13.9 shall be without limitation of any other rights granted to Lender pursuant to the provisions of the Loan Documents.

 

102


ARTICLE 14

DUE ON SALE AND APPLICATION OF PROCEEDS

Section 14.1 Parent Debt Documents. The Parent Debt Documents shall permit, that upon a sale of a respective Individual Property (not including, however, the Stevens Pass Resort, as described on Schedule 2 hereof, which is not included in the Parent Debt Documents), the proceeds of such sale (the “Sale Proceeds”) may first be used to pay the applicable Release Price plus any additional required payments under the Loan Documents, including the Prepayment Premium, and other charges due under the Loan Documents in connection therewith (collectively, the “Loan Paydown”), before being available for application to the Parent Debt and Related Guarantees. Borrower hereby agrees to apply all Sale Proceeds first to the Loan Paydown, before using the Sale Proceeds for application to the Parent Debt and Related Guarantees.

b. Covenants. Each of Borrower and Pledgor covenant and agree that, from the Closing Date and until payment in full of the Indebtedness;

i. Northstar Capex Funding Obligation.

iv. Essential Ski Property Deed of Trust. In the event that Borrower shall acquire fee title to the Essential Ski Property (as such term is defined in the Essential Ski Property Deed of Trust), Borrower shall (i) execute an amendment to the Mortgage in recordable form and such other Loan Documents as Lender may require, which amendments shall spread the lien of the Mortgage to encumber the Essential Ski Property, (ii) deliver to Lender such title insurance endorsements as Lender may reasonably require, reflecting the addition of the Essential Ski Property to the Property, and (iii) pay all costs and expenses associated with the foregoing.

2. Summit at Snoqualmie:

a. Representations, Warranties and Covenants Regarding the Snoqualmie Licenses. Each of Borrower and Pledgor hereby covenants, represents and warrants to Lender with respect to each Snoqualmie License as follows:

i. There is and has been no default in the performance of the Snoqualmie License by Borrower or, to the knowledge of Borrower and/or Pledgor, the licensor under the Snoqualmie License, nor has any event occurred or condition arisen to the best knowledge of Borrower and Pledgor which, with the passage of time, or the giving of notice, or both, would constitute a default under or a breach of the Snoqualmie License by the Borrower or the licensor under the Snoqualmie License.

ii. All rents, additional rents, percentage rents and all other charges due and payable under the Snoqualmie License have been fully paid to the extent same were payable prior to the date hereof.

iii. The Snoqualmie License covers one hundred percent (WO%) of the licensed interest in and to the real property demised therein, and Borrower is the owner of the entire licensee interest in, to and under the Snoqualmie License and has the right and authority under such Snoqualmie License to execute the Loan Documents and to encumber Borrower’s interest therein, subject to Borrower obtaining the consent of the Plum Creek licensor.

iv. Borrower shall, at its sole cost and expense, promptly and timely perform and observe, or enforce the obligation of TPO Snoqualmie to perform, all the terms, covenants and conditions required to be performed and observed by Borrower as licensee under the Snoqualmie License (including, but not limited to, the payment of all rent, additional rent, percentage rent and other charges required to be paid under the Snoqualmie License).

v. If Borrower shall violate any of the covenants specified in (iv) above, Borrower grants to Lender the right (but not the obligation), with reasonable notice to Borrower or Pledgor, in the case of an emergency, to take any action as may be necessary to prevent or cure any default of Borrower under the Snoqualmie License, if necessary to protect Lender’s interest hereunder, and, subject to the rights of TPO Snoqualmie, Lender shall have the right to enter all or any portion of the Property at such times and in such manner as Lender deems necessary, in order to prevent or to cure any such default.

 

D-2


vi. The curing by Lender of any default by Borrower under the Snoqualmie License shall not remove or waive, as between Borrower or Pledgor and Lender, the default that occurred hereunder by virtue of the default by Borrower under the Snoqualmie License. All sums expended by Lender in order to cure any such default shall be paid by Borrower to Lender, upon demand, with interest thereon at the Default Rate unless prohibited by applicable law. All such amounts shall be added to the Indebtedness. No action or payment taken or made by Lender to prevent or cure a default by Borrower under the Snoqualmie License shall waive or cure the corresponding default by Borrower or Pledgor under the Loan Documents.

vii. Borrower or Pledgor shall notify Lender promptly in writing of (a) the occurrence of any material default by the licensor under the Snoqualmie License or the occurrence of any event which, with the passage of time or service of notice, or both, would constitute a material default by the licensor under the Snoqualmie License, and/or (b) of the receipt by Borrower or Pledgor of any notice (written or otherwise) from the licensor under the Snoqualmie License noting or claiming the occurrence of any default by Borrower under the Snoqualmie License or the occurrence of any event which, with the passage of time or service of notice, or both, would constitute a default by Borrower under the Snoqualmie License.

viii. Promptly upon demand by Lender from time to time, but no more frequently than annually, Borrower or Pledgor shall use reasonable efforts (other than payment to the licensor under the Snoqualmie License) to obtain from the licensor under the Snoqualmie License and furnish to Lender the estoppel certificate of the licensor under the Snoqualmie License stating the date through which rent has been paid and whether or not there are any defaults under the Snoqualmie License and specifying the nature of such claimed defaults, if any.

ix. Borrower or Pledgor shall promptly notify Lender, in writing, of any request made by either party to the Snoqualmie License for arbitration or appraisal proceedings pursuant to the Snoqualmie License, and of the institution of any arbitration or appraisal proceedings, as well as of all proceedings thereunder, and shall promptly deliver to Lender a copy of the determination of the arbitrators or appraisers in each such arbitration or appraisal proceeding. Lender shall have the right (but not the obligation), following the delivery of written notice of Borrower or Pledgor, to advise and recommend candidates for the appointment of any arbitrator or appraiser to be appointed by Borrower and to participate in such arbitration or appraisal proceedings in association with Borrower or on its own behalf as an interested party. Borrower or Pledgor shall promptly notify Lender, in writing, of the institution of any legal proceedings involving obligations under the Snoqualmie License. Lender may intervene in any such legal proceedings and be made a party to them. Borrower or Pledgor shall promptly provide Lender with a copy of any decisions rendered in connection with such proceedings.

x. Borrower shall promptly execute, acknowledge and deliver to Lender such instruments as may be reasonably required to permit Lender to cure any default under the Snoqualmie License or permit Lender to take such other action as may be necessary to cure or remedy the matter in default and preserve the security interest of Lender under the Loan Documents. Borrower hereby irrevocably appoints Lender as its true and lawful attorney-in-fact

 

D-3


to do, in its name or otherwise, any and all acts and to execute any and all documents which are necessary to preserve any rights of Borrower under or with respect to the Snoqualmie License, including, without limitation, the right to effectuate any extension or renewal of the Snoqualmie License, or to preserve any rights of Borrower whatsoever in respect of any part of the Snoqualmie License (and the above powers granted to Lender are coupled with an interest and shall be irrevocable).

xi. Borrower shall not (A) without Lender’s prior written consent, surrender, terminate, forfeit, or suffer or permit, by acquiescence or otherwise, the surrender, termination or forfeiture of the Snoqualmie License, or (B) except as permitted pursuant to the Loan Documents, otherwise change, modify or amend the Snoqualmie License. Consent to one amendment, change, agreement or modification shall not be deemed to be a waiver of the right to require consent to other, future or successive amendments, changes, agreements or modifications.

xii. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein contained with respect to the Snoqualmie License, Borrower agrees that:

1. The Lien created by the Loan Documents attaches to all of Borrower’s rights and remedies at any time arising under or pursuant to subsection 365(h) of the Bankruptcy Code, including, without limitation, all of Borrower’s rights to remain in possession of the Property.

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

3. Borrower shall object promptly and as and when required under the Bankruptcy Code in order to prevent a sale of all or a portion of the real property underlying the Property free and clear of the Snoqualmie License under subsection 363(f) of the Bankruptcy Code. Lender shall have the right to act on Borrower’s behalf in connection with any such attempted sale.

4. Borrower shall affirmatively assert and pursue its right to adequate protection under subsection 363(e) of the Bankruptcy Code in the event of any sale of all or a portion of the real property underlying the Property under subsection 363(f) of the Bankruptcy Code. Lender shall have the right to act on Borrower’s behalf in connection with the assertion of any such rights of adequate protection.

5. As security for the Indebtedness, Borrower hereby unconditionally assigns, transfers and sets over to Lender all of Borrower’s claims and rights to the payment of damages arising under any claim or cause of action under the Bankruptcy Code. Lender and Borrower shall proceed jointly or in the name of Borrower in respect of any claim, suit, action or proceeding relating to the rejection or other termination of the Snoqualmie License, including, without limitation, the right to file and prosecute any proofs of claim, complaints, motions, applications, notices and other documents in any case in respect of such landlord under the Bankruptcy Code. Lender shall have the right to file all pleadings, claims, notices, proofs,

 

D-4


objections, acceptances, and rejections on behalf of Borrower and Borrower shall not take any action in contravention of any such filings or contest any of Lender’s actions or filings in connection with any and all claims relating to a filing by the licensor under the Snoqualmie License under the Bankruptcy Code.
