(e) In addition, Borrower, Operating Tenant and Manager shall cause all amounts payable under the Interest Rate Protection Agreement to be deposited into the Deposit Account.

(f) Upon Lender’s request from time to time, Borrower or Operating Tenant shall provide a written statement to Lender itemizing any amounts deposited in the Deposit Account by Borrower or Manager for the period covered by Lender’s request and such supporting documentation as Lender may reasonably require.

5. Deposits; Disbursements.

Borrower hereby acknowledges and agrees that Lender shall have the right, at its option, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of a Cash Trap Event Period, to deliver written notice to Bank directing Bank to disburse all available funds then and thereafter on deposit in the Deposit Account to the Cash Management Account. In the event that such written notice is given by Lender to Bank, when and if any such Cash Trap Event Period ceases to be continuing, Lender shall give written notice to Bank directing Bank to cease disbursing all available funds then and thereafter on deposit in the Deposit Account to the Cash Management Account.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, Borrower hereby covenants and agrees to cause the Minimum Account Balance to be maintained in the Cash Management Account at all times during the continuance of a Cash Trap Event Period until the Loan is paid in full.

(b) Disbursements. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of a Cash Trap Event Period, Lender or Servicer, on behalf of Lender, shall, on each Monthly Payment Date and provided no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing withdraw all funds, if any, on deposit in the Cash Management Account (other than the Minimum Account Balance) and disburse such funds in the following order of priority:

(i) First, the monthly amount required to be deposited pursuant to the Loan Agreement for the payment of Taxes shall be deposited in the Tax Subaccount;

(ii) Second, the monthly amount required to be deposited pursuant to the Loan Agreement for the payment of Insurance Premiums shall be deposited in the Insurance Subaccount;

6. Withdrawals.

(a) Withdrawals From Tax Subaccount, Insurance Premium Subaccount and Debt Service Subaccount. Lender shall have the right to withdraw amounts on deposit in the Tax Subaccount to pay Taxes at the Property on or before the date Taxes are due and payable. Lender shall have the right to withdraw amounts from the Insurance Subaccount to pay Insurance Premiums on or before the date Insurance Premiums are due and payable.

(b) Requests for Withdrawals from the FF&E Reserve Subaccount. Lender shall disburse funds on deposit in the FF&E Reserve Subaccount in accordance with the written request of Borrower or Operating Tenant approved in writing by Lender in the exercise of its reasonable discretion, such approval not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. Lender shall so approve provided the procedures and requirements set forth in the Loan Agreement for such withdrawal have been complied with in all respects.

(c) Requests for Withdrawals from the PIP Reserve Subaccount. Lender shall disburse funds on deposit in the PIP Reserve Subaccount in accordance with the written request of Borrower or Operating Tenant approved in writing by Lender in the exercise of its reasonable discretion, such approval not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. Lender shall so approve provided the procedures and requirements set forth in the Loan Agreement for such withdrawal have been complied with in all respects.

(d) Disbursements from Excess Cash Flow Subaccount. All funds in the Excess Cash Flow Subaccount shall be held as additional collateral for the Loan. Upon the termination of any Cash Trap Event Period, provided that no other Cash Trap Event Period has occurred and is continuing, Lender shall disburse all funds on deposit in the Excess Cash Flow Subaccount to Borrower.

(e) Sole Dominion and Control. Borrower and Operating Tenant agree that the Accounts are subject to the sole dominion, control and discretion of Lender, its authorized agents or designees, including Bank, subject to the terms hereof. Neither Borrower nor Manager shall have any right of withdrawal with respect to any Account except as provided in this Agreement or with the prior written consent of Lender. Lender shall have the right to control the disposition of funds in the Accounts, subject to the terms of this Agreement and the Loan Agreement, without the further consent of Borrower, Operating Tenant or Manager or any other person or entity.

(f) Deficiencies. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, Borrower acknowledges that Borrower is responsible for monitoring the sufficiency of funds deposited in the Accounts and that Borrower is liable for any deficiency in available funds, irrespective of whether Borrower has received any account statement, notice or demand from Lender. If on any Monthly Payment Date during the continuance of a Cash Trap Event Period, the amount of the available funds in the Accounts is insufficient to make all of the disbursements described in subsections 5(b)(i) through (viii), inclusive, Borrower shall deposit into the Cash Management Account on or prior to such Monthly Payment Date, without the need for any notice or demand from Lender, the amount of such deficiency in immediately available funds.

 

8


(g) Disbursements to Borrower. Any disbursements to be made to Borrower or Operating Tenant pursuant to the terms of this Agreement shall be wired to the account set forth on Exhibit B attached hereto or such other account as Borrower or Operating Tenant may advise pursuant to written instructions delivered to Lender.

7. Termination of Agreement. This Agreement shall terminate upon the indefeasible payment of the Debt in full. Upon any such termination, the funds remaining in the Accounts shall be disbursed to Borrower after first deducting all amounts then currently due and owing to Lender under the Loan Agreement and the other Loan Documents.

8. Funds in Accounts as Security for the Loan. As security for full payment of the Loan and timely performance of Borrower’s obligations under this Agreement, the Loan Agreement and the other Loan Documents, Borrower and Operating Tenant hereby pledges, transfers and assigns to Lender, and grants to Lender a continuing security interest in and to the Accounts and all profits and proceeds thereof, which security interest is prior to all other liens (except Permitted Encumbrances). Borrower and Operating Tenant agrees to execute, acknowledge, deliver, file or do, at its sole cost and expense, all other acts, assignments, notices, agreements or other instruments as Lender may reasonably require in order to perfect the foregoing security interest, pledge and assignment or otherwise to fully effectuate the rights granted to Lender by this Section. Other than in connection with the Loan, Borrower has not sold or otherwise conveyed the Accounts. The Accounts constitute “deposit accounts” within the meaning of the Uniform Commercial Code of the State of New York.

9. Default.

(a) Borrower’s, Operating Tenant’s and/or Manager’s failure to timely and fully perform its obligations under this Agreement and (i) in connection with any monetary defaults by Borrower, Operating Tenant and/or Manager hereunder, if Borrower, Operating Tenant and/or Manager has not cured such monetary default within the time period provided to cure such monetary defaults, as set forth in Section 10.1(a) of the Loan Agreement, and (ii) in connection with any non-monetary defaults by Borrower, Operating Tenant and/or Manager hereunder, if Borrower, Operating Tenant and/or Manager has not cured such non-monetary defaults within the time period provided to cure non-monetary defaults, as set forth in Section 10.1(u) of the Loan Agreement, then such breach shall constitute an “Event of Default” hereunder and, if any such breach is not cured as provided herein, shall also constitute an automatic “Event of Default” under and as defined in the Loan Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and the occurrence of an “Event of Default” under and as defined in the Loan Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents shall constitute an automatic Event of Default under this Agreement.

(b) Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default under this Agreement, Lender shall have the continuing exclusive control of, and right to withdraw and apply, the funds in the Deposit Account and the Accounts to payment of any and all debts, liabilities and obligations of Borrower to Lender pursuant to or in connection with this Agreement, the Loan Agreement and the other Loan Documents, in such order, proportion and priority as Lender may determine in its sole discretion. Lender’s right to withdraw and apply funds in the Deposit Account and the Accounts shall be in addition to all other rights and remedies provided to Lender under this Agreement, the Loan Agreement and the other Loan Documents and at law or in equity as a result of Borrower’s default. Lender’s continuation of payments from the Accounts when and as contemplated by this Agreement shall not be deemed Lender’s waiver or a cure of any Event of Default by Borrower.

 

9


(c) Without in any way limiting any of Lender’s other rights and remedies hereunder or under the Loan Agreement or the other Loan Documents, upon the occurrence of an Event of Default under this Agreement, Borrower hereby acknowledges and agrees that Lender shall have the right, at its option, to deliver written notice to Bank directing Bank to disburse all available funds then and thereafter on deposit in the Deposit Account to an account designated by Lender (which account may, in Lender’s sole discretion, be the Cash Management Account) in accordance with the terms of the Deposit Account Agreement. In the event that such written notice is given by Lender to Bank, when and if any such Event of Default ceases to be continuing, Lender shall give written notice to Bank, directing Bank to cease disbursing all available funds then and thereafter on deposit in the Deposit Account to the account designated by Lender.

10. Fees and Expenses. Borrower acknowledges and agrees that it solely shall be, and shall at all times remain, liable to Lender for all customary and reasonable fees, charges, costs and expenses in connection with the Accounts, this Agreement and the enforcement hereof, including, without limitation, the reasonable fees and expenses of legal counsel to Lender and Servicer as needed to enforce, protect or preserve the rights and remedies of Lender and/or Servicer under this Agreement.

11. Miscellaneous.

(a) Notices. All notices and other communications under this Agreement will be made in writing and given in accordance with this Section. Notices are to be addressed to each party as provided below and will be deemed to have been duly given (i) on being given by hand, if such party’s receipt thereof is acknowledged in writing, (ii) one (1) Business Day after having been timely deposited for overnight delivery, fee prepaid, with any reputable overnight courier service with a reliable tracking system, (iii) three (3) Business Days after having been deposited in any post office or mail depository regularly maintained by the U.S. Postal Service and sent by certified mail, postage prepaid, return receipt requested or (iv) on being sent by facsimile as of when confirmation of receipt is electronically recorded.
