Without limitation of the foregoing, from and after the date hereof, Borrower shall notify and advise each Tenant under each Lease (whether such Lease is presently effective or executed after the date hereof), which requires a monthly rental payment in excess of $5,000.00, to send directly to the Restricted Account all payments of Rent pursuant to an instruction letter in the form of Exhibit A attached hereto (a “Tenant Direction Letter”). Notwithstanding the foregoing, Borrower shall not be required to deliver a Tenant Direction Letter to the Operating Lessee under the Operating Lease.

(b) Commencing with the first billing statement delivered after the date hereof and for each subsequent statement delivered, Borrower and Manager shall instruct all persons and entities that maintain open accounts with Borrower or Manager or with whom Borrower or Manager does business on an “accounts receivable” basis with respect to the Property to deliver all payments due under such accounts to Borrower or Manager; and Borrower and Manager, as applicable, shall cause such payments to be deposited in each respective Local Bank in accordance with Section 4(a) hereof. Borrower and Manager shall cause the applicable Local Bank to transfer funds on deposit in the applicable Local Account to the Restricted Account in accordance with Section 4(a) hereof. Neither Borrower nor Manager shall direct any such person or entity to make payments due under such accounts in any other manner.

(c) Commencing on the date hereof, Borrower and Manager shall cause all credit card receipts to be deposited directly into the Restricted Account. Without limitation of the foregoing, Borrower shall instruct and shall continuously hereafter instruct each of the credit card banks with which Borrower has entered into agreements for the clearance of credit card receipts (collectively, “Credit Card Banks”) that all credit card receipts with respect to the Property (net of any expenses charged for such processing) cleared by such Credit Card Banks shall be transferred by such Credit Card Banks by wire transfer or the ACH System to Bank for deposit in the Restricted Account pursuant to an instruction letter in the form of Exhibit B attached hereto (a “Credit Card Bank Payment Direction Letter”). Borrower shall also instruct and shall continuously hereafter instruct each of the credit card companies with which Borrower has entered into merchants agreements (collectively, “Credit Card Companies”) that all credit card receipts with respect to the Property (net of any expenses charged for such processing) received by such Credit Card Companies shall be transferred by such Credit Card Companies by wire transfer or the ACH System to Bank for deposit in the Restricted Account pursuant to an instruction letter in the form of Exhibit C attached hereto (a “Credit Card Company Payment Direction Letter”).

(d) If, notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 4, Borrower or Manager receives any Rents or other income from the Property, then (i) such amounts shall be deemed to be collateral for the Loan and shall be held in trust for the benefit, and as the property, of Lender, (ii) such amounts shall not be commingled with any other funds or property of Borrower or Manager, and (iii) Borrower or Manager shall deposit such amounts in the Restricted Account within three (3) Business Days of receipt.

(e) Upon Lender’s request from time to time, Borrower shall provide a written statement to Lender itemizing any amounts deposited in the Restricted 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.

(a) Deposits. Borrower shall make or cause to be made such deposits into the Accounts as may be required by the Loan Agreement and this Agreement.

(b) Disbursements.

Provided that no Cash Sweep Period has occurred and is continuing, all funds in the Restricted Account shall be transferred to Borrower on each Business Day in accordance with the terms of the Restricted Account Agreement. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of a Cash Sweep Period, Lender or Servicer, on behalf of Lender, shall, on each Monthly Payment Date, withdraw all funds, if any, on deposit in the Deposit Account and disburse such funds (the “Available 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;

(iii) Third, funds sufficient to pay any interest accruing at the Default Rate and late payment charges, if any, shall be deposited in the Debt Service Subaccount;

(iv) Fourth, funds sufficient to pay the Debt Service due on such Monthly Payment Date shall be deposited in the Debt Service Subaccount;

(v) Fifth, funds sufficient to pay the customary and reasonable cash management servicing fees associated with the administration of the Accounts for the calendar month immediately preceding such Payment Date shall be deposited in the Cash Management Servicing Fees Subaccount;

(vi) Sixth, funds sufficient to pay the Monthly FF&E Expenditure Amount shall be deposited in the FF&E Expenditure Subaccount;

(vii) Seventh, funds sufficient to pay the Monthly Franchise Amount shall be deposited in the Franchise Subaccount;

(viii) Eighth, provided that an Event of Default has not occurred, funds sufficient to pay the Monthly Operating Expense Amount for the calendar month in which such Monthly Payment Date occurs shall be disbursed to Borrower pursuant to written instructions provided by Borrower; and

 

7


(ix) Ninth, provided that an Event of Default has not occurred, the remaining portion, if any, of the Available Funds (the “Excess Cash Flow”) after deposits for items (i) through (viii) shall be deposited into the Excess Cash Subaccount. Further, by way of clarification, the following items shall not be deemed Rent: (x) any funds transferred to Borrower from the Restricted Account pursuant to the terms of the Restricted Account Agreement and (y) any remaining Excess Cash Flow transferred to Borrower.

6. Withdrawals.

(a) Withdrawals From the Tax Subaccount, the Insurance Premium Subaccount, the Debt Service Subaccount, and the Cash Management Servicing Fees 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. Lender shall have the right to withdraw amounts from the Debt Service Subaccount to pay default interest and late charges, if any, and to pay the Debt Service due on each Monthly Payment Date. Lender shall have the right to withdraw amounts from the Cash Management Servicing Fees Subaccount to pay customary and reasonable cash management servicing fees which are due and payable to Servicer in connection with the administration of the Accounts.

(b) Requests for Withdrawals from the FF&E Expenditure Subaccount and the Franchise Subaccount. Lender shall disburse funds on deposit in the FF&E Expenditure Subaccount in accordance with the terms of Section 6.4 of the Loan Agreement. Lender shall disburse funds on deposit in the Franchise Subaccount in accordance with the terms of Section 6.5 of the Loan Agreement.

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

(d) Sole Dominion and Control. Borrower and Manager acknowledge and 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 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, without the further consent of Borrower or Manager or any other person or entity.

(e) 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, the amount of the Available Funds is insufficient to make all of the disbursements required to be made in subsections 5(b)(i) through (viii), inclusive, Borrower shall deposit into the Deposit 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


7. Termination of Agreement. This Agreement shall terminate upon the repayment in full of the Loan. Upon any such termination, (i) 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 and (ii) Lender shall provide written consent to terminate the Restricted Account Agreement as of the date this Agreement is terminated.

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 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 (other than customary set-off rights in favor of Bank for customary account fees and debits). Borrower 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 and/or Manager’s failure to timely and fully perform its obligations under this Agreement shall constitute a default under this Agreement (“Event of Default”) and also shall 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 Restricted 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 Restricted 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 default by Borrower.

(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 and/or during the continuation of any Cash Sweep Period, Borrower hereby acknowledges and agrees that Lender shall have the right, at its option,

 

9


to deliver written notice to Bank directing Bank to disburse all available funds then and thereafter on deposit in the Restricted Account to an account designated by Lender (which account may, in Lender’s sole discretion, be the Deposit Account) in accordance with the terms of the Restricted Account Agreement.

10. Fees and Expenses. Borrower acknowledges and agrees that it solely shall be, and shall at all times remain, liable to Lender for all 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 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 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. Each party may establish a new address from time to time by written notice to the other given in accordance with this Section; provided, however, that no change of address will be effective until written notice thereof actually is received by the party to whom such change of address is sent. Notice to outside counsel designated by a party entitled to receive notice is for convenience only and is not required for notice to a party to be effective in accordance with this Section.
