(f) If any requirement of law or any change therein or in the interpretation or application thereof, shall hereafter make it unlawful for Lender to make or maintain a LIBOR Loan as contemplated hereunder (i) the obligation of Lender hereunder to make a LIBOR Loan or to convert a Prime Rate Loan to a LIBOR Loan shall be canceled forthwith, and (ii) any outstanding LIBOR Loan shall be converted automatically to a Prime Rate Loan on the next succeeding Payment Date or within such earlier period as required by law. Borrower hereby agrees promptly to pay Lender, upon demand, any additional amounts necessary to compensate Lender for any costs incurred by Lender in making any conversion in accordance with this Agreement, including, without limitation, any interest or fees payable by Lender to lenders of funds obtained by it in order to make or maintain the LIBOR Loan hereunder. Lender’s notice of such costs, as certified to Borrower, shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

(g) In the event that any change after the Closing Date in any requirement of law or in the interpretation or application thereof, or compliance by Lender with any request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) hereafter issued from any central bank or other Governmental Authority:

(i) shall hereafter impose, modify or hold applicable any reserve, special deposit, compulsory loan or similar requirement against assets held by, or deposits or other liabilities in or for the account of, advances or loans by, or other credit extended by, or any other acquisition of funds by, any office of Lender which is not otherwise included in the determination of LIBOR hereunder;

(ii) shall hereafter have the effect of reducing the rate of return on Lender’s capital as a consequence of its obligations hereunder to a level below that which Lender could have achieved but for such adoption, change or compliance (taking into consideration Lender’s policies with respect to capital adequacy) by any amount reasonably deemed in good faith by Lender to be material; or

 

35


(iii) shall hereafter impose on Lender any other condition and the result of any of the foregoing is to increase the cost to Lender of making, renewing or maintaining loans or extensions of credit or to reduce any amount receivable hereunder reasonably deemed in good faith by Lender to be material;

then, in any such case, if and to the extent Lender determines such additional cost or reduced amount receivable to be material, Borrower shall promptly pay Lender, upon written demand, any such additional amounts necessary to compensate Lender for such additional cost or reduced amount receivable which Lender deems to be material as determined by Lender. If Lender becomes entitled to claim any additional amounts pursuant to this Section 2.2.3(g), Lender shall provide Borrower with not less than ninety (90) days notice specifying in reasonable detail the event by reason of which it has become so entitled and the additional amount and basis for such additional amount required to fully compensate Lender for such additional cost or reduced amount incurred by Lender. A certificate as to any additional costs or amounts payable pursuant to the foregoing sentence submitted by Lender to Borrower shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error. This provision shall survive payment of the Note and the satisfaction of all other Obligations of Borrower under this Agreement and the Loan Documents.

(h) Without duplication of the payment obligations of Borrower set forth in this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, Borrower agrees to indemnify Lender and to hold Lender harmless from any actual out-of-pocket expense which Lender sustains or incurs as a consequence of (i) any default by Borrower in payment of the principal of or interest on a LIBOR Loan, including, without limitation, any such loss or expense arising from interest or fees payable by Lender to lenders of funds obtained by it in order to maintain a LIBOR Loan hereunder, and (ii) any prepayment (whether voluntary or mandatory) of the LIBOR Loan on a day that (A) is not the Payment Date, or (B) in the case of a voluntary prepayment only, is the Payment Date immediately following the last day of an Interest Period with respect thereto if Borrower did not give the prior notice of such voluntary prepayment as required pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, including, without limitation, such loss or expense arising from interest or fees payable by Lender to lenders of funds obtained by it in order to maintain the LIBOR Loan hereunder (the amounts referred to in clauses (i) and (ii) are herein referred to collectively as the “Breakage Costs”); provided, however, Borrower shall not indemnify Lender from any loss or expense arising from Lender’s willful misconduct, illegal acts, bad faith, fraud or gross negligence. This provision shall survive payment of the Note in full and the satisfaction of all Other Obligations of Borrower under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.

(i) Lender shall not be entitled to claim compensation pursuant to this Section 2.2.3 for any increased cost or reduction in amounts received or receivable hereunder, or any reduced rate of return, which was incurred or which accrued more than ninety (90) days before the date Lender notified Borrower of the change in law or other circumstance on which such claim of compensation is based and delivered to Borrower a written statement setting forth in reasonable detail the basis for calculating the additional amounts owed to Lender under this Section 2.2.3, which statement shall be conclusive and binding upon all parties hereto absent manifest error.

 

36


2.2.4 Additional Costs. Lender will use reasonable efforts (consistent with legal and regulatory restrictions) to maintain the availability of the LIBOR Loan and to avoid or reduce any increased or additional costs payable by Borrower under Section 2.2.3, including, if requested by Borrower, a transfer or assignment of the Loan to a branch, office or Affiliate of Lender in another jurisdiction, or a redesignation of its lending office with respect to the Loan, in order to maintain the availability of the LIBOR Loan or to avoid or reduce such increased or additional costs, provided that the transfer or assignment or redesignation (a) would not result in any additional costs, expenses or risk to Lender that are not reimbursed by Borrower and (b) would not be disadvantageous in any other respect to Lender as determined by Lender in its reasonable discretion.

2.2.5 Default Rate. In the event that, and for so long as, any Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Outstanding Principal Balance and, to the extent permitted by law, all accrued and unpaid interest in respect of the Loan and any other amounts due pursuant to the Loan Documents, shall accrue interest at the Default Rate, calculated from the date such payment was due without regard to any grace or cure periods contained herein.

2.2.6 Usury Savings. This Agreement, the Note and the other Loan Documents are subject to the express condition that at no time shall Borrower be obligated or required to pay interest on the Outstanding Principal Balance at a rate which could subject Lender to either civil or criminal liability as a result of being in excess of the Maximum Legal Rate. If, by the terms of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, Borrower is at any time required or obligated to pay interest on the Outstanding Principal Balance at a rate in excess of the Maximum Legal Rate, the Applicable Interest Rate or the Default Rate, as the case may be, shall be deemed to be immediately reduced to the Maximum Legal Rate and all previous payments in excess of the Maximum Legal Rate shall be deemed to have been payments in reduction of principal and not on account of the interest due hereunder. All sums paid or agreed to be paid to Lender for the use, forbearance, or detention of the sums due under the Loan, shall, to the extent permitted by applicable law, be amortized, prorated, allocated, and spread throughout the full stated term of the Loan until payment in full so that the rate or amount of interest on account of the Loan does not exceed the Maximum Legal Rate of interest from time to time in effect and applicable to the Loan for so long as the Loan is outstanding.

2.2.7 Interest Rate Cap Agreement.

(a) Borrower shall deliver confirmation to Lender’s reasonable satisfaction of the purchase of an Interest Rate Cap Agreement on the Closing Date and shall enter into an Interest Rate Cap Agreement with a LIBOR strike price equal to the Strike Price within seven (7) days of the Closing Date. The Interest Rate Cap Agreement shall (i) be in a form and substance reasonably acceptable to Lender, (ii) be with an Acceptable Counterparty, (iii) direct such Acceptable Counterparty to deposit directly into the First Mezzanine Cash Management Account designated by Lender any amounts due Borrower under such Interest Rate Cap Agreement so long as any portion of the Debt exists, provided that the Debt shall be deemed to exist if the Property is transferred by judicial or non-judicial foreclosure or deed-in-lieu thereof, (iv) be for a period equal to the term of the Loan, and (v) have an initial notional amount equal to the original principal amount of the Loan. Borrower shall collaterally assign to Lender, pursuant to the Collateral Assignment of Interest Rate Cap Agreement, all of its right, title and

 

37


interest to receive any and all payments under the Interest Rate Cap Agreement, and shall deliver to Lender an executed counterpart of such Interest Rate Cap Agreement (which shall, by its terms, authorize the assignment to Lender and require that payments be deposited directly into the First Mezzanine Cash Management Account designated by Lender).

(b) Borrower shall comply with all of its obligations under the terms and provisions of the Interest Rate Cap Agreement. All amounts paid by the Counterparty under the Interest Rate Cap Agreement to Borrower or Lender shall be deposited immediately into the First Mezzanine Cash Management Account designated by Lender. Borrower shall take all actions reasonably requested by Lender to enforce Lender’s rights under the Interest Rate Cap Agreement in the event of a default by the Counterparty and shall not, without Lender’s consent, waive, amend or otherwise modify any of its rights thereunder.

(c) In the event (i) Borrower exercises an Extension Option, or (ii) Lender notifies Borrower that there has been or will be a downgrade, withdrawal or qualification of the rating of the Counterparty by S&P or Moody’s, Borrower shall replace (or supplement, as applicable) the Interest Rate Cap Agreement with a Replacement Interest Rate Cap Agreement with a LIBOR strike price equal to the applicable Strike Price (x) which Replacement Interest Rate Cap Agreement shall extend the maturity date set forth in the Interest Rate Cap Agreement to the Fixed Maturity Date (with respect to the foregoing clause (i)) prior to or on the commencement date of the Extension Term, or (y) as required due to the occurrence of any of the events listed in the foregoing clause (ii), not later than ten (10) Business Days following receipt of notice from Lender of such downgrade, withdrawal or qualification. With respect to each Replacement Interest Rate Cap Agreement, Borrower shall deliver to Lender a Collateral Assignment of Interest Rate Cap Agreement in a form comparable to the Collateral Assignment of Interest Rate Cap Agreement that has been acknowledged by the Counterparty.

(d) In the event that Borrower fails to purchase and deliver to Lender the Interest Rate Cap Agreement or fails to maintain the Interest Rate Cap Agreement in accordance with the terms and provisions of this Agreement, Lender may purchase the Interest Rate Cap Agreement and the cost incurred by Lender in purchasing such Interest Rate Cap Agreement shall be paid by Borrower to Lender with interest thereon at the Default Rate from the date such cost was incurred by Lender until such cost is reimbursed by Borrower to Lender.

(e) In connection with the Interest Rate Cap Agreement, Borrower shall obtain and deliver to Lender an opinion from counsel (which counsel may be in-house counsel for the Counterparty) for the Counterparty (upon which Lender and its successors and assigns may rely) which shall provide, in relevant part, that:

(i) the Counterparty is duly organized, validly existing, and in good standing under the laws of its jurisdiction of incorporation and has the organizational power and authority to execute and deliver, and to perform its obligations under, the Interest Rate Cap Agreement;

(ii) the execution and delivery of the Interest Rate Cap Agreement by the Counterparty, and the performance of its obligations thereunder have been and remain duly authorized by all necessary action;

 

38


(iii) all consents, authorizations and approvals required for the execution and delivery by the Counterparty of the Interest Rate Cap Agreement, and the performance of its obligations thereunder have been obtained and remain in full force and effect, all conditions thereof have been duly complied with, and no other action by, and no notice to or filing with any governmental authority or regulatory body is required for such execution, delivery or performance; and

Each Interest Period thereafter commenced and shall continue to commence on and include the ninth (9th) day of each calendar month during the term of the Loan and shall end on and include the eighth (8th) day of the next occurring calendar month.

2.5.1 Release on Payment in Full. (a) Lender shall, upon the written request and at the expense of Borrower, upon payment in full of all principal and interest due on the Loan and all other amounts due and payable under the Loan Documents in accordance with the terms and provisions of the Note and this Agreement, release the Lien of the Pledge Agreement on the Collateral.

The execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents by Borrower, Principal and/or Guarantors, as applicable, will not conflict with or result in a breach of any of the terms or provisions of, or constitute a default under, or result in the creation or imposition of any lien, charge or encumbrance (other than

pursuant to the Loan Documents) upon any of the property or assets of Borrower pursuant to the terms of any indenture, mortgage, deed of trust, loan agreement, partnership agreement, management agreement or other agreement or instrument to which Borrower is a party or by which any of Borrower’s property or assets is subject, nor will such action result in any violation of the provisions of any statute or any order, rule or regulation of any Governmental Authority having jurisdiction over Borrower or any of Borrower’s properties or assets, and any consent, approval, authorization, order, registration or qualification of or with any such Governmental Authority required for the execution, delivery and performance by Borrower, Principal and/or Guarantors, as applicable, of this Agreement or any other Loan Documents has been obtained and is in full force and effect.

4.1.4 Litigation. There are no actions, suits or proceedings at law or in equity by or before any Governmental Authority or other agency now pending or, to Borrower’s knowledge, threatened (a) in writing against Borrower, Mortgage Borrower, the Property or the Collateral, which actions, suits or proceedings, if determined against Borrower, Mortgage Borrower, the Property or the Collateral, are reasonably likely to materially adversely affect the condition (financial or otherwise) or business of Borrower, Mortgage Borrower or the condition or ownership of the Property, or (b) that are not adequately covered by insurance.

4.1.5 Agreements. Borrower is not a party to any agreement or instrument which is reasonably likely to materially and adversely affect Borrower, Mortgage Borrower, the Property, or the Collateral, or Borrower’s or Mortgage Borrower’s business, properties or assets, operations or condition, financial or otherwise. Neither Borrower nor Mortgage Borrower is in default in any material respect in the performance, observance or fulfillment of any of the obligations, covenants or conditions contained in any agreement or instrument to which it is a party or by which Borrower, Mortgage Borrower, the Property or the Collateral are bound which is reasonably likely to have a material adverse effect on Borrower, Mortgage Borrower, the Property or the Collateral, or Borrower’s or Mortgage Borrower’s business, properties or assets, operations or condition, financial or otherwise. Neither Borrower nor Mortgage Borrower has any material financial obligation under any indenture, mortgage, deed of trust, loan agreement or other agreement or instrument to which Borrower or Mortgage Borrower is a party or by which Borrower, Mortgage Borrower, the Property or the Collateral is otherwise bound, other than (a) any obligations incurred in the ordinary course of the operation of the Property as permitted pursuant to clause (t) of the definition of “Special Purpose Entity” set forth in Section 1.1 hereof, and (b) the obligations under the Loan Documents and the Mortgage Loan Documents, as applicable.

4.1.6 Title. The Pledgor under the Pledge Agreement is the record and beneficial owner of, and has good, and marketable title to the Collateral, free and clear of all Liens whatsoever except the Permitted Encumbrances, such other Liens as are permitted pursuant to the Loan Documents and the Liens created by the Loan Documents. The Permitted Encumbrances in the aggregate do not materially and adversely affect the value of the Collateral or Borrower’s ability to repay the Loan. The Pledge Agreement, together with the UCC Financing Statements relating to the Collateral, when properly filed in the appropriate records, will create a valid, perfected first priority security interests in and to, Borrower’s right, title and interest to the Collateral, all in accordance with the terms thereof, for which a Lien can be perfected by filing a UCC Financing Statement.

 

60


4.1.7 Solvency. Borrower has (a) not entered into the transaction contemplated by this Agreement or executed the Note, this Agreement or any other Loan Documents with the actual intent to hinder, delay or defraud any creditor and (b) received reasonably equivalent value in exchange for its obligations under such Loan Documents. The fair saleable value of Borrower’s assets exceeds and will, immediately following the making of the Loan, exceed Borrower’s probable liabilities, including, without limitation, subordinated, unliquidated, disputed and contingent liabilities. The fair saleable value of Borrower’s assets is and will, immediately following the making of the Loan, be greater than Borrower’s probable liabilities, including the maximum amount of its contingent liabilities on its debts as such debts become absolute and matured. Borrower’s assets do not and, immediately following the making of the Loan will not, constitute unreasonably small capital to carry out its business as conducted or as proposed to be conducted. Borrower does not intend to, and does not believe that it will, incur debts and liabilities (including contingent liabilities and other commitments) beyond its ability to pay such debts and liabilities as they mature (taking into account the timing and amounts of cash to be received by Borrower and the amounts to be payable on or in respect of the obligations of Borrower). No petition in bankruptcy has been filed against Borrower, Mortgage Borrower or Principal, and neither Borrower, Mortgage Borrower nor Principal has ever made an assignment for the benefit of creditors or taken advantage of any insolvency act for the benefit of debtors. Neither Borrower, Mortgage Borrower nor Principal are contemplating either the filing of a petition by it under any state or federal bankruptcy or insolvency laws or the liquidation of all or a major portion of Borrower’s, Mortgage Borrower’s or Principal’s assets or properties, and Borrower has no knowledge of any Person contemplating the filing of any such petition against Borrower, Mortgage Borrower or Principal.

4.1.8 Full and Accurate Disclosure. To Borrower’s knowledge, no statement of fact made by Borrower in this Agreement or in any of the other Loan Documents contains (or in the case of written material, at the time supplied contained) any untrue statement of a material fact or omits (or in the case of such written material, at the time supplied omitted) to state any material fact necessary to make statements contained herein or therein not misleading. There is no material fact presently known to Borrower which has not been disclosed to Lender which adversely affects, nor as far as Borrower can foresee, might adversely affect, Borrower, the Collateral, Mortgage Borrower or the Property or the business, operations or condition (financial or otherwise) of Borrower or Mortgage Borrower.

4.1.9 No Plan Assets.

(a) Borrower is not an “employee benefit plan,” as defined in Section 3(3) of ERISA, subject to Title I of ERISA, and none of the assets of Borrower constitutes or will constitute “plan assets” of one or more such plans within the meaning of 29 C.F.R.

To Borrower’ knowledge, Borrower is not in default or violation of any order, writ, injunction, decree or demand of any Governmental Authority. To Borrower’s knowledge, there has not been committed by Borrower or any other Person in occupancy of or involved with the operation or use of the Property any act or omission affording any Governmental Authority the right of forfeiture as against the Property or any part thereof or any monies paid in performance of Borrower’s obligations under any of the Loan Documents.

Except for Permitted Encumbrances, Borrower does not have any material contingent liabilities, liabilities for taxes, unusual forward or long-term commitments or unrealized or anticipated losses from any unfavorable commitments that are known to Borrower and reasonably likely to have a materially adverse effect on Borrower, the Collateral, Mortgage Borrower or the Property or the operation thereof as a hotel, except as referred to or reflected in said financial statements. Since the date of such financial statements, there has been no material adverse change in the financial condition, operation or business of Mortgage Borrower or Borrower from that set forth in said financial statements.

From the Closing Date and until payment and performance in full of all obligations of Borrower under the Loan Documents or the earlier release of the Lien of the Pledge Agreement (and all related obligations) in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, Borrower hereby covenants and agrees with Lender that:

5.1.1 Existence; Compliance with Legal Requirements. To the extent necessary to avoid a material adverse effect, Borrower shall do and shall cause Mortgage Borrower to do

 

66


with reasonable promptness all things necessary to preserve, renew and keep in full force and effect its existence, rights, licenses, permits and franchises and to comply with all material Legal Requirements applicable to Borrower, Mortgage Borrower, the Property and the Collateral, including, without limitation, Prescribed Laws. There shall never be committed by Borrower or Mortgage Borrower, and Borrower shall cause Mortgage Borrower to use commercially reasonable efforts not to permit any other Person in occupancy of or involved with the operation or use of the Property or the Collateral to commit, any act or omission affording the federal government or any state or local government the right of forfeiture against the Property or the Collateral or any part thereof or any monies paid in performance of Borrower’s obligations under any of the Loan Documents. Borrower shall at all times cause Mortgage Borrower to maintain, preserve and protect all franchises and trade names, preserve all the remainder of its property used in the conduct of its business, and shall keep or cause Mortgage Borrower to keep the Property in good working order and repair, and from time to time make, or cause to be made, all reasonably necessary repairs, renewals, replacements, betterments and improvements thereto, all as more fully provided in the Mortgage. Borrower, at its own expense, may contest (or cause Mortgage Borrower to contest) by appropriate legal proceeding promptly initiated and conducted in good faith and with due diligence, the validity of any Legal Requirement, the applicability of any Legal Requirement to Mortgage Borrower, Borrower, the Property or the Collateral or any alleged violation of any Legal Requirement, provided that (a) no Event of Default or Mortgage Loan Event of Default has occurred and remains uncured; (b) such proceeding shall not result in a default under any material agreement to which Borrower or Mortgage Borrower is subject and such proceeding shall be conducted in accordance with all applicable statutes, laws and ordinances; (c) neither the Property nor the Collateral nor any part thereof or interest therein will be in danger of being sold, forfeited, terminated, cancelled or lost; (d) Borrower shall, upon final determination thereof, promptly comply with any such Legal Requirement determined to be valid or applicable or cure any violation of any Legal Requirement; (e) such proceeding shall suspend the enforcement of the contested Legal Requirement against Mortgage Borrower, Borrower, the Collateral and the Property; and (f) Borrower shall furnish such security as may be required in the proceeding to insure compliance with such Legal Requirement, together with all interest and penalties payable in connection therewith. Lender may apply any such security, as necessary to cause compliance with such Legal Requirement at any time when, in the reasonable judgment of Lender, the validity, applicability or violation of such Legal Requirement is finally established or the Property or the Collateral (or any part thereof or interest therein) shall be in danger of being sold, forfeited, terminated, cancelled or lost.

5.1.2 Taxes and Other Charges. Borrower shall pay or shall cause Mortgage Borrower to pay all Taxes and Other Charges now or hereafter levied or assessed or imposed against the Property, or any part thereof as the same shall become due and payable; provided, however, Borrower’s obligation to cause Mortgage Borrower to directly pay Taxes shall be suspended for so long as Borrower complies with the terms and provisions of Section 7.2 hereof.

Borrower shall not suffer and shall not permit Mortgage Borrower and shall promptly cause Mortgage Borrower to promptly be paid and discharged any Lien or charge whatsoever which may be or become a Lien or charge against the Property and that is prohibited in accordance with Section 5.2.2 hereof, and shall

promptly pay for all utility services provided to the Property. After prior notice to Lender, Borrower, at its own expense, may contest (or cause Mortgage Borrower to contest) by appropriate legal proceeding, promptly initiated and conducted in good faith and with due diligence, the amount or validity or application in whole or in part of any Taxes or Other Charges, provided that (a) no Default or Event of Default or Mortgage Loan Default or Mortgage Loan Event of Default has occurred and remains uncured; (b) such proceeding shall be permitted under and be conducted in accordance with the provisions of any other instrument to which Borrower and Mortgage Borrower is subject and shall not constitute a default thereunder and such proceeding shall be conducted in accordance with all applicable statutes, laws and ordinances; (c) neither the Collateral, Property nor any part thereof or interest therein will be in danger of being sold, forfeited, terminated, cancelled or lost; (d) Borrower shall or shall cause Mortgage Borrower to promptly upon final determination thereof pay the amount of any such Taxes or Other Charges, together with all costs, interest and penalties which may be payable in connection therewith; (e) such proceeding shall suspend the collection of such contested Taxes or Other Charges from the Property; and (f) Borrower shall, or shall cause Mortgage Borrower to furnish such security as may be required in the proceeding, or as may be requested by Lender, to insure the payment of any such Taxes or Other Charges, together with all interest and penalties thereon, unless Mortgage Borrower has furnished security required by Mortgage Lender in accordance with the terms of Section 5.1.2 of the Mortgage Loan Agreement. Lender may pay over any such cash deposit or part thereof held by Lender to the claimant entitled thereto at any time when, in the judgment of Lender, the entitlement of such claimant is established or the Property (or any part thereof or interest therein) shall be in danger of being sold, forfeited, terminated, cancelled or lost or there shall be any danger of the Lien of the Mortgage being primed by any related Lien.

(c) Borrower will furnish, or cause to be furnished, to Lender on or before twenty-five (25) days after the end of each calendar month during the first year of the term of the Loan and on or before forty-five (45) days after the end of each calendar quarter thereafter, the following items, accompanied (with respect to quarterly reports only) by an Officer’s Certificate or an officer’s certificate delivered by Manager stating that, to such Person’s knowledge, such items are true, correct, accurate in all material respects and complete in all material respects and fairly present the financial condition and results of the operations of Borrower, Mortgage Borrower and the Property (subject to normal year-end adjustments) as applicable: (i) a rent roll for the subject month (or quarter, as applicable); (ii) monthly (or quarterly, as applicable) and year-to-date operating statements (including Capital Expenditures) prepared for each calendar month (or quarter, as applicable), noting Net Operating Income, Gross Income from Operations, and Operating Expenses (not including any contributions to the FF&E Reserve Funds), and, upon Lender’s reasonable request, other information necessary and sufficient to fairly represent the financial position and results of operation of the Property during such period, and containing a comparison of budgeted income and expenses and the actual income and expenses, all in form satisfactory to Lender; (iii) a calculation reflecting the annual Debt Service Coverage Ratio for the immediately preceding twelve (12) full calendar month period as of the last day of such month or quarter, and (iv) a reasonably detailed explanation of

 

70


any Emergency Expenses incurred during such calendar quarter. On or before twenty five (25) calendar days after the end of each calendar month during the first year of the term of the Loan and on or before forty-five (45) calendar days after the end of each calendar quarter thereafter (or as soon after such 45th day as such reports become available to Borrower) Borrower also will furnish, or cause to be furnished, to Lender the most current Smith Travel Research Reports then available to Borrower reflecting market penetration and relevant hotel properties competing with the Property.

(d) Each Fiscal Year, Borrower shall submit to Lender an Annual Budget not later than forty-five (45) days prior to the commencement of such period or Fiscal Year in form reasonably satisfactory to Lender, except that the Annual Budget for the current Fiscal Year shall be delivered on or prior to the Closing Date. At all times during the term of the Loan when Excess Cash Flow is required to be deposited with Lender or applied towards payment of the Debt pursuant to Section 9.3 of the Mortgage Loan Agreement, the Annual Budget so submitted to Lender shall be subject to Lender’s approval, which shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed (each such Annual Budget, an “Approved Annual Budget”). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, Lender’s approval of any Annual Budget shall not be required if such Annual Budget submitted by Borrower provides for Net Cash Flow which would be sufficient to produce a Debt Service Coverage Ratio of 1.0:1.0 or better based on the then current Applicable Interest Rate and provides for expenses that are comparable to the expenses for the preceding year (with increases for fixed costs) and with such other changes as are reasonably consistent with income growth, marketing conditions and other variable items that fluctuate with occupancy levels. Lender shall use good faith efforts to respond within five (5) Business Days after Lender’s receipt of Borrower’s proposed Annual Budget. If Lender fails to respond to such request within five (5) Business Days, and Borrower sends a second request for approval of such Annual Budget containing a legend clearly marked in not less than fourteen (14) point bold face type, underlined, in all capital letters “REQUEST DEEMED APPROVED IF NO RESPONSE WITHIN 5 BUSINESS DAYS”, Lender’s approval shall be deemed given if no objection is made by Lender within five (5) Business Days after receipt thereof. In the event that Lender objects to a proposed Annual Budget submitted by Borrower which requires the approval of Lender hereunder, Lender shall advise Borrower of such objections within five (5) Business Days after receipt thereof (and deliver to Borrower a reasonably detailed description of such objections) and Borrower shall promptly revise such Annual Budget and resubmit the same to Lender. Lender shall advise Borrower of any objections to such revised Annual Budget within five (5) Business Days after receipt thereof (and deliver to Borrower a reasonably detailed description of such objections) and Borrower shall promptly revise the same in accordance with the process described in this subsection until Lender approves or is deemed to have approved the Annual Budget. Until such time that Lender approves or is deemed to have approved a proposed Annual Budget which requires the approval of Lender hereunder, the most recently Approved Annual Budget shall apply; provided that such Approved Annual Budget shall be adjusted to reflect actual increases in Taxes, Insurance Premiums, utilities expenses, union labor and fixed increases under previously executed agreements; provided, further, that the Approved Annual Budget shall be adjusted to reflect increased variable expenses as a result of increased occupancy levels from the prior year.

 

71


(e) In the event that Mortgage Borrower or Borrower must incur an extraordinary Operating Expense or Capital Expenditure (other than an Emergency Expense) not set forth in the Approved Annual Budget (each, an “Extraordinary Expense”), then Borrower shall promptly deliver to Lender a reasonably detailed explanation of such proposed Extraordinary Expense for approval, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, no approval from Lender shall be required if (i) a single Extraordinary Expense is equal to or less than five percent (5%) of the amount set forth in the Approved Annual Budget for such expense, or (ii) if no sum was budgeted for such expense in the Approved Annual Budget, the Extraordinary Expense is less than or equal to five percent (5%) of the Approved Annual Budget, provided that all Extraordinary Expenses in any Fiscal Year do not exceed five percent (5%) of the Approved Annual Budget or (iii) an emergency exists which requires the immediate expenditure of the Extraordinary Expense to preserve the value of the Property or to protect the health and safety of Persons located on the Property or adjacent to the Property or (iv) such expense is an expense required to be made to cause the Property to comply with the terms of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents.

(f) Any reports, statements or other information required to be delivered under this Agreement shall be delivered in paper form. Borrower agrees that Lender may disclose information regarding the Property, the Collateral, Mortgage Borrower and Borrower in accordance with Section 9.1 that is provided to Lender pursuant to this Section 5.1.11 in connection with the Securitization to such parties requesting such information in connection with such Securitization.

5.1.12 Business and Operations. Borrower will cause Mortgage Borrower to continue to engage in the businesses presently conducted by it as and to the extent the same are necessary for the ownership, maintenance, management and operation of the Property. Borrower shall cause Mortgage Borrower to qualify to do business and will remain in good standing under the laws of New York as and to the extent the same are required for the ownership, maintenance, management and operation of the Property. Borrower shall cause Mortgage Borrower to keep and maintain all licenses necessary for the operation of the Property for hotel and retail purposes, except to the extent that the failure to do so would have a material adverse effect on Borrower, Mortgage Borrower, the Collateral or the Property.

5.1.13 Title to the Property. Borrower will cause Mortgage Borrower to warrant and defend (a) the title to the Property and every part thereof, subject only to Liens permitted hereunder (including Permitted Encumbrances), and (b) the validity and priority of the Lien of the Mortgage and the Assignment of Leases, subject only to Liens permitted hereunder (including Permitted Encumbrances), in each case against the claims of all Persons whomsoever. Borrower will warrant and defend (a) the title to the Collateral and every part thereof, subject only to Liens permitted hereunder (including Permitted Encumbrances) and (b) the validity and priority of the Lien of the Pledge Agreement, subject only to Liens permitted hereunder (including Permitted Encumbrances), in each case against the claims of all Persons whomsoever.

72


5.1.14 Costs of Enforcement. In the event (a) that the Pledge Agreement is foreclosed in whole or in part or that the Pledge Agreement is put into the hands of an attorney for collection, suit, action or foreclosure, (b) of the foreclosure of any lien prior to or subsequent to the Pledge Agreement in which proceeding Lender is made a party, or (c) of the bankruptcy, insolvency, rehabilitation or other similar proceeding in respect of Borrower or any of its constituent Persons or an assignment by Borrower or any of its constituent Persons for the benefit of its creditors, Borrower, on behalf of itself and its successors and assigns, agrees that it/they shall be chargeable with and shall pay all costs of collection and defense, including attorneys’ fees and costs, incurred by Lender or Borrower in connection therewith and in connection with any appellate proceeding or post-judgment action involved therein, together with all required service or use taxes.

5.1.19 No Joint Assessment.

5.1.20 Leasing Matters.

(a) Any Leases with respect to the Property executed after the Closing Date for more than 2,500 square feet shall be submitted to Lender for approval, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. Upon request, Borrower shall furnish Lender with executed copies of all Leases. Any Leases for which Lender’s approval is not required in accordance with the preceding sentences of this Section 5.1.20(a) and all renewals of Leases (except for renewals of Leases pursuant to renewal rights in existence as of the Closing Date) shall provide for rental rates comparable to existing market rates for comparable space in comparable buildings in New York City. Any Leases for which Lender’s approval is not required in accordance with the preceding sentences of this Section 5.1.20(a) shall not contain any terms which would materially affect Lender’s rights under the Loan Documents. All proposed Leases executed after the Closing Date shall provide that they are subordinate to the Mortgage and that the lessee agrees to attorn to Mortgage Lender or any purchaser at a sale by foreclosure or power of sale. Borrower shall or shall cause Mortgage Borrower to (i) use commercially reasonable efforts to observe and perform, or cause to be performed, the obligations imposed upon the lessor under the Leases; (ii) use commercially reasonable efforts to enforce and may, in a commercially reasonable manner and in a manner not to impair the value of the Property involved, amend the terms, covenants and conditions contained in the Leases upon the part of the lessee thereunder to be observed or performed, or terminate or accept a surrender of such Lease, except that no termination or acceptance of surrender of any Leases shall be permitted unless by reason of a tenant default and except as expressly provided in the Leases; provided, however, that no such acceptance of surrender of any Lease covering more than 2,500 square feet will be permitted without the consent of Lender, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed provided a new Lease for the applicable portion of the Property is entered into contemporaneously with such cancellation on substantially the same (or more favorable) terms as the cancelled lease with a tenant of substantially similar quality; (iii) shall not cause or permit Mortgage Borrower to collect any of the rents more than one (1) month in advance (other than security deposits); (iv) shall not cause or permit Mortgage Borrower to execute any other assignment of lessor’s interest in the Leases or the Rents (except as contemplated by the Mortgage Loan Documents); (v) shall not cause or permit Mortgage Borrower to alter, modify or change the terms of the Leases in a manner inconsistent with the provisions of the Mortgage Loan Documents; and (vi) shall execute and deliver and shall cause Mortgage Borrower to execute and deliver at the request of Lender or Mortgage Lender all such further assurances, confirmations and assignments in connection with the Leases as Lender or

(b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 5.1.20:

(i) whenever Lender’s approval or consent is required pursuant to the provisions of this Section 5.1.20, Borrower shall have the right to submit a term sheet of such transaction to Lender for Lender’s approval, such approval not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. Any such term sheet submitted to Lender shall set forth all material terms of the proposed transaction, including identity of tenant, square footage, term, rent, rent credits, abatements, work allowances and tenant improvements to be constructed by Borrower. Lender shall use good faith efforts to respond within five (5) Business Days after Lender’s receipt of Borrower’s written request for approval or consent of such term sheet. If Lender fails to respond to such request within five (5) Business Days, and Borrower sends a second request containing a legend clearly marked in not less than fourteen (14) point bold face type, underlined, in all capital letters “REQUEST DEEMED APPROVED IF NO RESPONSE WITHIN 5 BUSINESS DAYS”, Lender shall be deemed to have approved or consented to such term sheet if Lender fails to respond to such second written request before the expiration of such five (5) Business Day period;

(ii) whenever Lender’s approval or consent is required pursuant to the provisions of this Section 5.1.20 for any matter with respect to which Lender has not previously approved a term sheet pursuant to Section 5.1.20(b)(i) above, Lender shall use good faith efforts to respond within five (5) Business Days after Lender’s receipt of Borrower’s written request for such approval or consent. If Lender fails to respond to such request within five (5) Business Days, and Borrower sends a second request containing a legend clearly marked in not less than fourteen (14) point bold face type, underlined, in all capital letters “REQUEST DEEMED APPROVED IF NO RESPONSE WITHIN 5 BUSINESS DAYS”, Lender shall be deemed to have approved or consented to such matter if Lender fails to respond to such second written request before the expiration of such five (5) Business Day period;

75


(iv) in the event that Lender shall have approved (or be deemed to have approved) a term sheet submitted by Borrower with respect to a certain Lease, Lender shall not withhold its approval or consent with respect to such Lease on the basis of any provisions of such Lease dealing with the items contained in the approved term sheet.

(c) If Borrower shall fail to cause Mortgage Borrower to enter into the Guitar Center Space Lease for all or any portion of the Guitar Center Space Lease Premises, Borrower may cause Mortgage Borrower to enter into a Lease (a “Guitar Center Space Substitute Lease”) with substitute tenant(s) of similar credit quality to the Guitar Center Space Tenant, in each case as are reasonably acceptable to Lender (a “Guitar Center Space Substitute Tenant”), provided that such Guitar Center Space Substitute Lease (a) otherwise complies with the requirements of Section 5.1.20(a) above, (b) is non-terminable for a term not less than ten (10) years, and (c) does not provide for tenant improvement and leasing commission expenses in excess of those provided in the Guitar Center Space Lease being replaced.

5.1.21 Alterations.

(a) Borrower shall obtain Lender’s prior consent to any alterations to any Improvements, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Lender’s consent shall not be required in connection with any alterations that (x) will not have a material adverse effect on Borrower’s or Mortgage Borrower’s financial condition, the value of the Property or the Net Cash Flow, (y) do not adversely affect any structural component of any Improvements, any utility or HVAC system contained in any Improvements or the exterior of any Building constituting any Improvements, and (z) (1) have an aggregate cost not exceeding Four Million Five Hundred Thousand and 00/100 Dollars ($4,500,000), (2) are being performed in connection with tenant improvement work performed pursuant to the terms of any Lease entered into in accordance with the terms hereof, (3) are being performed in connection with a Restoration in accordance with the terms and provisions of the Mortgage Loan Agreement, or (4) are being performed in connection with a PIP approved by Lender in accordance with the terms and provisions of this Agreement. In any event, if the total unpaid amounts due and payable with respect to alterations to the Improvements at the Property (other than such amounts to be paid or reimbursed by tenants under the Leases and other than in connection with a PIP approved by Lender in accordance with the terms and provisions of this Agreement) shall at any time exceed Four Million Five Hundred Thousand and 00/100 Dollars ($4,500,000) (the “Threshold Amount”), Borrower shall promptly deliver to Lender as security for the payment of such amounts and as additional security for Borrower’s obligations under the Loan Documents any of the following: (i) cash, (ii) U.S. Obligations, (iii) other securities having a rating acceptable to Lender and that the applicable Rating Agencies have confirmed in writing will not, in and of itself, result in a downgrade, withdrawal or qualification of the initial, or, if higher, then current ratings assigned to any Securities or any class thereof in connection with any Securitization, or (iv) a completion and performance bond or an irrevocable letter of credit (payable on sight draft only) issued by a financial institution (A) having a rating by S&P of not less than “A-1+” if the term of such bond or letter of credit is no longer than three (3) months or, if such term is in excess of three (3) months, issued by a financial institution having a rating that is acceptable to Lender, and (B) that the applicable Rating Agencies have confirmed in writing

 

76


will not, in and of itself, result in a downgrade, withdrawal or qualification of the initial, or, if higher, then current ratings assigned to any Securities or any class thereof in connection with any Securitization; provided, however, that (i) in the event Mortgage Borrower is required to and does deliver such security to Mortgage Lender under the Mortgage Loan, and (ii) upon request, Lender receives evidence reasonably acceptable to it of the delivery of such security by Mortgage Lender, then Borrower shall not be required to deliver such security to Lender.. Such security shall be in an amount equal to the excess of the total unpaid amounts with respect to alterations to the Improvements on the Property (other than such amounts to be paid or reimbursed by tenants under the Leases) over the Threshold Amount and Lender shall (or with respect to a letter of credit or performance bond, may) apply such security from time to time to pay for such alterations in accordance with the procedures and requirements set forth in Section 7.3.2 relating to the disbursement of funds from the FF&E Reserve Account. Borrower shall complete any alterations in a good and workmanlike manner.

(b) For alterations to the Improvements done in connection with a PIP approved by Lender in accordance with the terms of this Agreement (the “PIP Alterations”), prior to commencing any such alterations, Guarantor shall guaranty in writing to Lender (irrespective of any other guaranty given to any other third party) that, at Guarantor’s option, either (x) any portion of such PIP Alterations which are commenced by Mortgage Borrower shall be completed, or (y) Mortgage Borrower shall perform such alterations as are reasonably necessary to restore the Property to be fully operational and in a condition at least equal to the condition of the Property, and with amenities at least equal to the amenities, which existed prior to commencement of the PIP Alterations, which PIP Alterations or alterations, as applicable, pursuant to clause (x) or clause (y) of this Section 5.1.21(b) shall be completed in a good, workmanlike and lien free manner. Such Guaranty shall be in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Lender.

5.1.22 Operation of Property.

(a) Borrower shall cause Mortgage Borrower to operate the Property, in all material respects, in accordance with the Management Agreement or Replacement Management Agreement, as applicable; provided, however, that Borrower shall not be deemed to be in default hereunder if Manager, and not Mortgage Borrower, is in default under the terms of the Management or Replacement Management Agreement and Borrower is otherwise complying with the provisions of this Section 5.1.22. In the event that the Management Agreement expires or is terminated (without limiting any obligation of Borrower to obtain Lender’s consent to any termination or modification of the Management Agreement in accordance with the terms and provisions of this Agreement), Borrower shall promptly, after obtaining Lender’s consent, cause Mortgage Borrower to enter into a Replacement Management Agreement with Manager or another Qualified Manager, as applicable. Any breach of the covenants contained in this Section 5.1.22 with respect to the Management Agreement shall not result in an Event of Default as long as Borrower is actively seeking Lender’s consent to cause Mortgage Borrower to enter into a Replacement Management Agreement with Manager or another Qualified Manager or, in the case of a termination, the Manager is replaced within thirty (30) days by a Qualified Manager pursuant to Section 9.5.

 

77


(b) Borrower shall: (i) cause Mortgage Borrower to use commercially reasonable efforts to perform and/or observe in all material respects all of the covenants and agreements required to be performed and observed by it under the Management Agreement and do all things necessary to preserve and to keep unimpaired its material rights thereunder; (ii) promptly notify Lender of any material default under the Management Agreement of which it is aware; (iii) cause Mortgage Borrower to promptly deliver to Lender a copy of each financial statement, business plan, capital expenditures plan, notice, report and estimate received by it under the Management Agreement; and (iv) cause Mortgage Borrower to use commercially reasonable efforts to enforce the performance and observance of all of the covenants and agreements required to be performed and/or observed by Manager under the Management Agreement, in a commercially reasonable manner.

(b) Borrower shall or shall cause Mortgage Borrower to timely pay all Assessments levied against the portion of the Property then owned by Borrower pursuant to the Existing Condominium Documents or any Amended Condominium Documents as the same shall become due and payable, and Borrower hereby covenants that, for so long as any of the Obligations are outstanding, Borrower shall not cause or permit the Mortgage Borrower to exercise any right to, or otherwise elect to, provide a guaranty to any condominium association covering, or indemnify any such condominium association for, any expenses incurred by such association in lieu of paying any Assessments that would otherwise be due and payable by Borrower;

(c) Borrower shall cause Mortgage Borrower to comply in all respects with all of the terms, covenants and conditions on Borrower’s part to be complied with pursuant to the Existing Condominium Documents and any Amended Condominium Documents and any rules and regulations that may be adopted pursuant thereto, as the same shall be in force and effect from time to time;

78


(f) Borrower agrees that it shall be an Event of Default if (A) any provision of the Existing Condominium Documents or any Amended Condominium Documents or any section, sentence, clause, phrase or word or the application thereof in any circumstance is held invalid and such invalidity is reasonably likely to materially and adversely affect the Lien of the Pledge Agreement or Lender’s rights under this Agreement or any other Loan Documents, or (B) except in conformance with Subsection (e) above, the Existing Condominium or any Amended Condominium shall become subject to any action for partition by any condominium unit owner and said action has been commenced and not dismissed within thirty (30) days after commencement thereof, or (C) except in conformity with Subsection (e) above, the Existing Condominium or any Amended Condominium is withdrawn from the condominium regime established under the Condominium Act;

5.1.25 Mortgage Loan Reserve Funds. Borrower shall cause Mortgage Borrower to deposit and maintain each of the Mortgage Loan Reserve Funds as more particularly set forth in Article VII of the Mortgage Loan Agreement and to perform and comply with all the terms and provisions relating thereto.

(ix) if the Property is or becomes a legal “non-conforming” use, ordinance or law coverage and insurance coverage to compensate for the cost of demolition or rebuilding of the undamaged portion of the Property along with any reduced value and the increased cost of construction in amounts as requested by Lender;

(x) the commercial property, liability and business income insurance required under Sections 6.1.2(i), (ii) and (iii) above shall cover perils of terrorism and acts of terrorism (whether caused by a foreign or domestic source) and Borrower shall maintain commercial property and business income insurance for loss resulting from perils and acts of terrorism (whether caused by a foreign or domestic source) on terms (including amounts) consistent with those required under Sections 6.1.2(i), (ii) and (iii) above at all times during the term of the Loan; provided, however, that notwithstanding the foregoing Borrower shall only be required to provide coverage in an amount not to exceed $100,000,000 in respect of non-certified acts of terrorism; and

(xi) upon not less than sixty (60) days’ notice, such other reasonable insurance and in such reasonable amounts as Lender from time to time may reasonably request against such other insurable hazards which at the time are commonly insured against for properties similar to the Property located in or around the region in which the Property is located.

(b) All insurance provided for in Section 6.1 shall be obtained under valid and enforceable policies (collectively, the “Policies” or in the singular, the “Policy”), and shall be subject to the approval of Lender as to insurance companies, amounts, deductibles, loss payees and insureds. The Policies shall be issued by a syndicate of not less than five (5) financially sound and responsible insurance companies authorized to do business in the State, of which either (i) one hundred percent (100%) shall have a claims paying ability rating of “A” or better (and the equivalent thereof) by at least two (2) of the Rating Agencies rating the Securities (one of which must be S&P if S&P is rating the Securities, and one of which must be Moody’s if Moody’s is rating the Securities), or if only one Rating Agency is rating the Securities, then only by such Rating Agency, or (ii) sixty percent (60%) shall have a claims paying ability rating of

 

92


“A” or better (and the equivalent thereof) by at least two (2) of the Rating Agencies rating the Securities (one of which must be S&P if S&P is rating the Securities, and one of which must be Moody’s if Moody’s is rating the Securities), or if only one Rating Agency is rating the Securities, then only by such Rating Agency, and the remaining forty percent (40%) of which shall have a claims paying ability rating of “BBB-” or better (and the equivalent thereof) by at least two (2) of the Rating Agencies rating the Securities (one of which must be S&P if S&P is rating the Securities, and one of which must be Moody’s if Moody’s is rating the Securities), or (iii) the claims paying ability rating by at least two (2) of the Rating Agencies rating the Securities (one of which must be S&P if S&P is rating the Securities, and one of which must be Moody’s if Moody’s is rating the Securities), or if only one Rating Agency is rating the Securities, then only by such Rating Agency, shall be equivalent to or better than the claims paying ability rating of such insurance companies on the Closing Date. The Policies described in Section 6.1.2 (other than those strictly limited to liability protection) shall designate Lender as mortgagee and loss payee. Not less than six (6) months prior to the expiration dates of the Policies theretofore furnished to Lender, certificates of insurance evidencing the Policies accompanied by evidence satisfactory to Lender of payment of the premiums due thereunder (the “Insurance Premiums”), shall be delivered by Borrower to Lender.

(c) Any blanket insurance Policy shall specifically allocate to the Property the amount of coverage from time to time required hereunder and shall otherwise provide the same protection as would a separate Policy insuring only the Property in compliance with the provisions of Section 6.1.2.

(d) All Policies provided for or contemplated by Section 6.1.2(ii) and (vii) shall name Mortgage Borrower as the insured and Mortgage Lender (and its affiliates), Lender (and its affiliates) and Borrower, as the additional insured, as its interests may appear, and in the case of property damage, boiler and machinery, flood and earthquake insurance, shall contain a so-called New York standard non-contributing mortgagee clause in favor of Mortgage Lender and Lender providing that the loss thereunder shall be payable to Mortgage Lender and Lender, as applicable.

(e) All Policies provided for in Section 6.1 shall contain clauses or endorsements to the effect that:

(i) no act or negligence of Mortgage Borrower or Borrower or anyone acting for any of the foregoing, or of any tenant or other occupant, or failure to comply with the provisions of any Policy, which might otherwise result in a forfeiture of the insurance or any part thereof, shall in any way affect the validity or enforceability of the insurance insofar as Lender is concerned;

(ii) the Policies shall not be materially changed (other than to increase the coverage provided thereby) or canceled without at least thirty (30) days’ notice to Lender and any other party named therein as an additional insured;

(iii) the issuers thereof shall give notice to Lender if the Policies have not been renewed fifteen (15) days prior to its expiration; and

 

93


(iv) Lender shall not be liable for any Insurance Premiums thereon or subject to any assessments thereunder.

(f) If at any time Lender is not in receipt of written evidence that all Policies are in full force and effect, Lender shall have the right, without notice to Borrower, to take such action as Lender deems necessary to protect its interest in the Property, including, without limitation, the obtaining of such insurance coverage as Lender in its sole discretion deems appropriate. All premiums incurred by Lender in connection with such action or in obtaining such insurance and keeping it in effect shall be paid by Borrower to Lender upon demand and, until paid, shall be secured by the Mortgage and shall bear interest at the Default Rate.

Section 6.2 Casualty. If the Property shall be damaged or destroyed, in whole or in part, by fire or other casualty (a “Casualty”), Borrower shall (a) give prompt notice of such damage to Lender, and (b) shall cause Mortgage Borrower, at Mortgage Borrower’s option, either (x) promptly commence and diligently prosecute the completion of the Restoration (or use commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Condominium acting through the Condominium Board, to do so) so that the Property resembles, as nearly as possible, the condition the Property was in immediately prior to such Casualty, with such alterations as may be reasonably approved by Lender and otherwise in accordance with Section 6.4 of the Mortgage Loan Agreement, or (b) prepay the Mortgage Loan in whole (even if such prepayment occurs prior to the Lockout Release Date), in which case no Prepayment Premium (as defined in the Mortgage Loan Agreement) shall be due; provided, however, that in the event Mortgage Borrower elects to prepay the Mortgage Loan in whole as provided in the foregoing clause (b) of this Section 6.2, then Borrower shall prepay the Loan in whole in which case no Prepayment Premium shall be due. Borrower shall pay all costs of such Restoration whether or not such costs are covered by insurance. Lender may, but shall not be obligated to make proof of loss if not made promptly by Borrower. In addition, Lender may participate in any settlement discussions with any insurance companies with respect to any Casualty in which the Net Proceeds or the costs of completing the Restoration are equal to or greater than Eight Million Two Hundred Fifty Thousand and No/100 Dollars ($8,250,000) and Borrower shall deliver to Lender all instruments required by Lender to permit such participation.

Section 6.3 Condemnation. Borrower shall promptly give Lender notice of the actual or threatened commencement of any proceeding in respect of Condemnation of the Property and shall cause Mortgage Borrower to deliver to Lender copies of any and all papers served in connection with such proceedings. Lender may participate in any such proceedings, and Borrower shall from time to time deliver to Lender all instruments requested by Lender to permit such participation. Borrower shall, at its expense, diligently prosecute any such proceedings, and shall consult with Lender, its attorneys and experts, and cooperate with them in the carrying on or defense of any such proceedings. Notwithstanding any taking by any public or quasi-public authority through Condemnation or otherwise (including, but not limited to, any transfer made in lieu of or in anticipation of the exercise of such taking), Borrower shall continue to perform the Obligations at the time and in the manner provided in this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and the Outstanding Principal Balance shall not be reduced until any Award shall have been actually received and applied by Lender, after the deduction of expenses of collection, to the reduction or discharge of the Obligations. Lender shall not be limited to the interest paid

 

94


on the Award by the applicable Governmental Authority but shall be entitled to receive out of the Award interest at the rate or rates provided herein or in the Note. If the Property or any portion thereof is taken by a Governmental Authority, Borrower shall cause Mortgage Borrower to promptly commence and diligently prosecute Restoration and otherwise comply with the provisions of Section 6.4 of the Mortgage Loan Agreement. If the Property is sold, through foreclosure or otherwise, prior to the receipt by Lender of the Award, Lender shall have the right, whether or not a deficiency judgment on the Note shall have been sought, recovered or denied, to receive the Award, or a portion thereof sufficient to pay the Debt.

Section 6.4 Restoration. Borrower shall, or shall cause Mortgage Borrower to, deliver to Lender all reports, plans, specifications, documents and other materials that are delivered to Mortgage Lender under Section 6.4 of the Mortgage Loan Agreement in connection with the Restoration of the Property after a Casualty or Condemnation. Upon repayment in full of the Mortgage Loan, the provisions of Section 6.4 of the Mortgage Loan Agreement shall be incorporated into this Agreement in their entirety.

RESERVE FUNDS

Section 7.1 Required Repair Funds.

7.1.1 Deposits. Borrower shall perform, or shall cause Mortgage Borrower to perform, the repairs at the Property as more particularly set forth on Schedule II attached hereto (such repairs hereinafter collectively referred to as “Required Repairs”). Borrower shall complete, or shall cause Mortgage Borrower to complete, the Required Repairs on or before the required deadline for each repair as set forth on Schedule II hereto. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, Lender, at its option, may withdraw all Required Repair Funds from the Required Repair Account and Lender may apply such funds either to completion of the Required Repairs or toward reduction of the Outstanding Principal Balance in such order, proportion and priority as Lender may determine in its sole discretion until the Debt is paid in full, with any amounts remaining being disbursed to Borrower. Lender’s right to withdraw and apply Required Repair Funds shall be in addition to all other rights and remedies provided to Lender under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. On the Closing Date, Borrower shall deposit with Lender the amount set forth on such Schedule II hereto to perform the Required Repairs multiplied by one hundred ten percent (110%). Amounts so deposited with Lender shall be held by Lender in accordance with Section 7.8 hereof. Amounts so deposited shall hereinafter be referred to as Borrower’s “Required Repair Funds” and the account in which such amounts are held shall hereinafter be referred to as Borrower’s “Required Repair Account.”

7.1.2 Release of Required Repair Funds. (a) Lender shall disburse to Borrower the Required Repair Funds from the Required Repair Account from time to time, but not more frequently than once in any thirty (30) day period, upon satisfaction by Borrower of each of the following conditions with respect to each disbursement: (i) Borrower shall submit a written request for payment to Lender at least ten (10) days prior to the date on which Borrower requests such payment be made, which request specifies the Required Repairs to be paid, (ii) on the date

 

95


such payment is to be made, no Default or Event of Default or Mortgage Loan Default or Mortgage Loan Event of Default shall exist and remain uncured, (iii) Lender shall have received an Officer’s Certificate (A) except as provided in Section 7.1.2(e), stating that all Required Repairs to be funded by the requested disbursement have been completed in a good and workmanlike manner and in accordance with all applicable federal, state and local laws, rules and regulations, such Officer’s Certificate to be accompanied by a copy of any license, permit or other approval by any Governmental Authority required to commence and/or complete the Required Repairs, (B) identifying each Person that supplied materials or labor in connection with the Required Repairs to be funded by the requested disbursement, (C) stating that each such Person has been paid in full or will be paid in full upon such disbursement for work completed and/or materials furnished to date, such Officer’s Certificate to be accompanied by lien waivers or other evidence of payment satisfactory to Lender and the Title Company, (D) stating that the Required Repairs to be funded have not been the subject of a previous disbursement, (E) stating that all previous disbursements of Required Repairs Funds have been used to pay the previously identified Required Repairs, and (iv) Lender shall have received such other evidence as Lender shall reasonably request that the Required Repairs to be funded by the requested disbursement have been completed and are paid for or will be paid upon such disbursement to Borrower. Lender shall not be required to make disbursements from the Required Repair Account unless such requested disbursement is in an amount greater than $5,000 (or a lesser amount if the total amount in the Required Repair Account is less than $5,000, in which case only one disbursement of the amount remaining in the account shall be made) and such disbursement shall be made only upon satisfaction of each condition contained in this Section 7.1.2.

(b) Nothing in this Section 7.1.2 shall (i) make Lender responsible for performing or completing any Required Repairs; (ii) require Lender to expend funds in addition to the Required Repairs Funds to complete any Required Repairs; (iii) obligate Lender to proceed with any Required Repairs; or (iv) obligate Lender to demand from Borrower additional sums to complete any Required Repairs.

(c) If the cost of any Required Repairs exceeds $250,000, Borrower shall permit Lender and Lender’s agents and representatives (including Lender’s engineer, architect or inspector) or third parties to enter onto the Property during normal business hours (subject to the rights of tenants under their Leases) to inspect the progress of any Required Repairs and all materials being used in connection therewith and to examine all plans and shop drawings relating to such Required Repairs. Borrower shall cause all contractors and subcontractors to cooperate with Lender or Lender’s representatives or such other Persons described above in connection with inspections described in this Section 7.1.2(c).

(d) If a disbursement will exceed $250,000 Lender may require an inspection of the Property at Borrower’s expense prior to making a disbursement of Required Repairs Funds in order to verify completion of the Required Repairs for which reimbursement is sought. Lender may require that such inspection be conducted by an appropriate independent qualified professional selected by Lender and may require a certificate of completion by an independent qualified professional architect acceptable to Lender prior to the disbursement of Required Repairs Funds. Borrower shall pay the expense of the inspection as required hereunder, whether such inspection is conducted by Lender or by an independent qualified professional architect.

 

96


(e) If the contractor performing such Required Repairs requires periodic payments pursuant to the terms of a written contract and, in the case of a contract providing for aggregate payments in excess of $250,000, if Lender has approved in writing in advance such periodic payments, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, and shall be deemed given if not expressly denied within ten (10) Business Days after receipt by Lender of a written request therefore and all information reasonably required in order to adequately review such request and requested by Lender, then disbursements from the Required Repair Account shall, upon Borrower’s request delivered pursuant to Section 7.1.2(a), be made after completion of a portion of the work under such contract, provided such contract requires payment upon completion of such portion of the work and all other conditions in this Agreement for disbursement have been satisfied.

7.1.3 Balance in Required Repair Account. The insufficiency of any balance in the Required Repair Account shall not relieve Borrower from its obligation to perform the Required Repairs in a good and workmanlike manner and in accordance with all Legal Requirements.

7.1.4 Waiver of Required Repair Account. Borrower shall be entitled to a credit against the deposits of Required Repairs Funds under Section 7.1.1 above in an amount equal to deposits in respect of Required Repairs made under the Mortgage Loan, provided that (a) Mortgage Borrower is required to and does make deposits to a required repair account under the Mortgage Loan, and (b) upon request, Lender receives evidence reasonably acceptable to it of the making of such deposits.

Section 7.2 Tax and Insurance Escrow Funds.

7.2.1 Deposit of Tax and Insurance Escrow Funds. Borrower shall pay to Lender (a) on the Closing Date, $1,696,888.02, and (b) on each Payment Date (1) one-twelfth of the Taxes that Lender estimates will be payable during the next ensuing twelve (12) months in order to accumulate with Lender sufficient funds to pay all such Taxes at least thirty (30) days prior to their respective due dates, and (2) in the event that Borrower has not provided Lender with reasonably satisfactory evidence of payment of Insurance Premiums twenty (20) calendar days prior to the expiration of the Policies in accordance with Section 6.1(b), one-twelfth of the Insurance Premiums that Lender estimates will be payable for the renewal of the coverage afforded by the Policies upon the expiration thereof in order to accumulate with Lender sufficient funds to pay all such Insurance Premiums at least thirty (30) days prior to the expiration of the Policies (the foregoing amounts deposited with Lender on the Closing Date and in clauses (a) and (b) above are hereinafter called the “Tax and Insurance Escrow Funds”). The Tax and Insurance Escrow Funds and the payment of the monthly Debt Service, shall be added together and shall be paid as an aggregate sum by Borrower to Lender. Provided no Event of Default or Mortgage Loan Event of Default shall exist and remain uncured, Lender will promptly and timely apply the Tax and Insurance Escrow Funds to payments of Taxes and Insurance Premiums required to be made by Borrower pursuant to Section 5.1.2 hereof and under the Mortgage, subject to Borrower’s right to contest Taxes in accordance with Section 5.1.2 hereof. In making any payment relating to the Tax and Insurance Escrow Funds, Lender may do so according to any bill, statement or estimate procured from the appropriate public office (with respect to Taxes) or insurer or agent (with respect to Insurance Premiums), without inquiry into

 

97


the accuracy of such bill, statement or estimate or into the validity of any tax, assessment, sale, forfeiture, tax lien or title or claim thereof. If the amount of the Tax and Insurance Escrow Funds shall exceed the amounts due for Taxes and Insurance Premiums pursuant to Section 5.1.2 hereof, Lender shall, in its sole discretion, return any excess to Borrower or credit such excess against future payments to be made to the Tax and Insurance Escrow Funds. Any amount remaining in the Tax and Insurance Escrow Funds after the Debt has been paid in full shall be returned to Borrower. In allocating such excess, Lender may deal with the Person shown on the records of Lender to be the owner of the Property. If at any time Lender reasonably determines that the Tax and Insurance Escrow Funds are not or will not be sufficient to pay Taxes and Insurance Premiums by the dates set forth in (a) and (b) above, Lender shall notify Borrower of such determination and Borrower shall increase its monthly payments to Lender by the amount that Lender reasonably estimates is sufficient to make up the deficiency at least thirty (30) days prior to the due date of the Taxes and/or thirty (30) days prior to expiration of the Policies, as the case may be. Upon payment of the Taxes and Insurance Premiums, Lender shall reassess the amount necessary to be deposited in the Tax and Insurance Escrow Funds for the succeeding period, which calculation shall take into account any excess amounts remaining in the Tax and Insurance Escrow Funds.

7.2.2 Waiver of Tax Escrow. Borrower shall be relieved of its obligation to make deposits of Tax and Insurance Escrow Funds under Section 7.2.1 above, provided that (a) Mortgage Borrower is required to and does make monthly deposits to a tax escrow account under the Mortgage Loan, and (b) upon request, Lender receives evidence reasonably acceptable to it of the making of such deposits and of the payment of all such Taxes.

Section 7.3 FF&E Reserve Funds.

7.3.1 Deposit to FF&E Reserve Account. Borrower shall deposit with Lender on each Payment Date an amount equal to four percent (4%) of the Gross Income from Operations for the prior calendar month (the “FF&E Monthly Deposit”), which is the amount reasonably estimated by Lender in its sole discretion to be due for replacements and repairs of the furniture, fixtures and equipment used in connection with the Property (collectively, the “FF&E”). Amounts so deposited shall hereinafter be referred to as Borrower’s “FF&E Reserve Funds” and the account in which such amounts are held shall hereinafter be referred to as Borrower’s “FF&E Reserve Account.” Lender may reassess its estimate of the amount necessary for the FF&E Reserve Funds from time to time, and may increase the monthly amounts required to be deposited into the FF&E Reserve Account upon thirty (30) days notice to Borrower if Lender determines in its reasonable discretion that an increase is necessary due to a material adverse change in the condition of the Property.

7.3.2 Disbursements from FF&E Reserve Account. Lender shall make disbursements from the FF&E Reserve Account as requested by Borrower, no more frequently than once in any thirty (30) day period and of no less than $5,000.00 per disbursement, upon satisfaction by Borrower of each of the following conditions with respect to each such disbursement: (i) Borrower shall submit Lender’s standard form of draw request for payment to Lender at least ten (10) days prior to the date on which Borrower requests such payment be made, which request shall specify the expense for FF&E to be paid and shall be accompanied by copies of paid invoices for the amounts requested; (ii) on the date such request is received by

 

98


Lender and on the date such payment is to be made, no Event of Default or Mortgage Loan Event of Default shall exist and remain uncured; and (iii) Lender shall have received (1) an Officer’s Certificate from Borrower (A) stating a description of the FF&E for which the disbursement is being requested, (B) stating that all FF&E to be funded by the requested disbursement have been completed in a good and workmanlike manner and in accordance with all applicable Legal Requirements, (C) identifying each Person that supplied materials or labor in connection with the FF&E to be funded by the requested disbursement, (D) stating that each such Person has been paid in full or will be paid in full upon such disbursement, (E) stating that the FF&E to be funded have not been the subject of a previous disbursement, and (F) stating that all previous disbursements of FF&E Reserve Funds have been used to pay the previously identified expenses for FF&E, (2) a copy of any license, permit or other approval by any Governmental Authority required in connection with the FF&E and not previously delivered to Lender, (3) if required by Lender for requests in excess $10,000.00 for a single item, lien waivers and releases from all parties furnishing materials and/or services in connection with the requested payment or other evidence of payment satisfactory to Lender, and (4) such other evidence as Lender shall reasonably request to demonstrate that the expenses for FF&E to be funded by the requested disbursement have been completed and are paid for or will be paid upon such disbursement to Borrower. Lender may require an inspection of the Property at Borrower’s expense prior to making a monthly disbursement in order to verify completion of replacements and/or repairs of FF&E in excess of $250,000.00 for which reimbursement is sought.

7.3.3 Balance in the FF&E Reserve Account. The insufficiency of any balance in the FF&E Reserve Account shall not relieve Borrower from its obligation to fulfill all preservation and maintenance covenants in the Loan Documents.

7.3.4 Waiver of FF&E Reserve Account. Borrower shall be entitled to a credit against the monthly deposits of FF&E Reserve Funds under Section 7.3 above in an amount equal to monthly deposits in respect of FF&E made under the Mortgage Loan, provided that (a) Mortgage Borrower is required to and does make monthly deposits to a replacement reserve account under the Mortgage Loan, and (b) upon request, Lender receives evidence reasonably acceptable to it of the making of such deposits.

Section 7.4 Intentionally Omitted.

Section 7.5 Debt Service Reserve Funds.

7.5.1 Deposits to Debt Service Reserve Account. On November 9, 2006, Borrower either (i) deposited with Lender the amount of Ten Million and No/100 Dollars ($10,000,000.00), or (ii) in lieu of cash, provided Lender with an irrevocable letter of credit in the amount of Ten Million and No/100 Dollars ($10,000,000.00) from a financial institution reasonably deemed to be acceptable to Lender (the “Initial Debt Service Reserve Deposit”) to be held by Lender as additional collateral for the Loan. Borrower shall not be required to replenish the Initial Debt Service Reserve Deposit; provided, however, Borrower shall make such additional deposits from time to time to the Debt Service Reserve Account as may be reasonably required, after taking into account the Rebranding Deficit, to offset loss of Net Operating Income as result of the execution of any PIP (the “Rebranding Reserve Deposit”). Amounts so deposited including the Initial Debt Service Reserve Deposit and any Rebranding

 

99


Reserve Deposit shall hereinafter be referred to as Borrower’s “Debt Service Reserve Funds” and the account in which such amounts are held shall hereinafter be referred to as Borrower’s “Debt Service Reserve Account.”

7.5.2 Withdrawal from Debt Service Reserve Account. Provided that no Event of Default shall exist and remain uncured, if, on any Payment Date, there has been insufficient Gross Income from Operations for the prior Interest Period deposited into the Mortgage Cash Management Account to pay the Aggregate Monthly Interest Payment then due and payable to Lender (such shortfall the “Monthly Shortfall”), Lender shall apply Debt Service Reserve Funds then on deposit to the payment of the Aggregate Monthly Interest Payment (but in no event to exceed the Monthly Shortfall), and the Debt Service Reserve Funds shall be reduced by an equal amount. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Borrower expressly acknowledges and agrees that in the event that on any day on which a Monthly Interest Payment is due and payable (i) an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing hereunder, or (ii) the amount of such Aggregate Monthly Amount exceeds the Debt Service Reserve Funds then on deposit, Borrower shall remain liable for the payment of all Monthly Interest Payments as and when due.

7.5.3 Release of Initial Debt Service Reserve Deposit. Upon Borrower’s written request, the balance, if any, of the Initial Debt Service Reserve Deposit (to the extent such Initial Debt Service Reserve Deposit exceeds the Reflagging Deficit) shall be released to Borrower so long as (i) no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, and (ii) the Debt Service Coverage Ratio is equal to or greater than 1.05:1.00; provided, however, in no event shall any portion of the Initial Debt Service Reserve Deposit be released to Borrower prior to May 1, 2008, if such a release would cause the Initial Debt Service Reserve Deposit on such date prior to May 1, 2008 to fall below $3,000,000, unless the Debt Service Coverage Ratio is equal to or greater than 1.15:1.0.

7.5.4 Release of Rebranding Reserve Deposit. After the completion of the PIP to the reasonable satisfaction of Franchisor, upon Borrower’s written request, the balance, if any, of the Rebranding Reserve Deposit shall be released to Borrower so long as (i) no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, and (ii) the Debt Service Coverage Ratio is equal to or greater than 1.05:1.00; provided, however, in no event shall any portion of the Initial Debt Service Reserve Deposit be released to Borrower prior to May 1, 2008 if such a release would cause the Rebranding Reserve Deposit to fall below $3,000,000, unless the Debt Service Coverage Ratio on such date prior to May 1, 2008 is equal to or greater than 1.15:1.00.

7.5.5 Waiver of Debt Service Reserve Account. Borrower shall be entitled to a credit against the deposits of Debt Service Reserve Funds under Section 7.5.1 above in an amount equal to deposits in respect of Debt Service Reserve Funds made under the Mortgage Loan, provided that (a) Mortgage Borrower is required to and does make deposits to a replacement reserve account under the Mortgage Loan, and (b) upon request, Lender receives evidence reasonably acceptable to it of the making of such deposits.

Section 7.6 Assessment Reserve.

7.6.1 Deposits to Assessment Reserve. On November 9, 2006, Borrower deposited with Lender Ten Thousand Eighty and 82/100 Dollars ($10,080.82) on account of the

 

100


Assessments next coming due. Additionally, Borrower shall pay to Lender on each Payment Date an amount equal to all Assessments that Lender reasonably estimates will become due from Borrower prior to the next succeeding Payment Date pursuant to the terms of the Existing Condominium Documents and/or the Amended Condominium Documents, which amounts shall be transferred by the Deposit Bank into an account established to hold such funds (the “Assessment Reserve Account”). Amounts deposited from time to time in the Assessment Reserve Account pursuant to this Section 7.6 are referred to herein as the “Assessment Reserve Funds”. Borrower shall, promptly upon the demand of Lender, make additional deposits to the Assessment Reserve Account as Lender may from time to time require due to the underestimation of the amounts of the Assessments due.

7.6.2 Disbursement of Assessment Reserve Funds. So long as no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, Lender shall, without the necessity of notifying Borrower, apply the Assessment Reserve Funds to payments of any Assessments as and when the same shall become due and payable. Borrower agrees and acknowledges that neither the insufficiency of the amount of, nor the unavailability of, the Assessment Reserve Funds is intended to, and shall therefore not, constitute a limitation on the obligation of Borrower to pay any Assessments. Borrower shall be responsible for ensuring the receipt by Lender, at least thirty (30) days prior to the respective due date for payment thereof, of all bills, invoices and statements for all Assessments to be paid from the Assessment Reserve Funds, to the extent the same are in Borrower’s possession or able to be produced by Borrower, after reasonable and good faith efforts by Borrower to obtain the same. In making any payment relating to Assessments, Lender may do so according to any bill or statement given by or on behalf of the Existing Condominium Board and/or any association formed pursuant to any Amended Condominium Documents master association, without inquiry into the accuracy of such bill or statement. Upon full payment of the Debt in accordance with the Loan Documents, the balance of the Assessment Reserve Funds then in Lender’s possession, if any, shall be paid over to Borrower and no other party shall have any right or claim thereto.

7.6.3 Waiver of Assessment Reserve. Borrower shall be relieved of its obligation to make deposits of Assessment Reserve Funds under Section 7.6.1 above provided that (a) Mortgage Borrower is required to and does make monthly deposits to an assessment reserve account under the Mortgage Loan, and (b) upon request, Lender receives evidence reasonably acceptable to it of the making of such deposits and of the payment of all such Assessment.

Section 7.7 Environmental Repair Funds.

7.7.1 Deposits. Borrower shall perform the environmental repairs at the Property as more particularly set forth on Schedule VI attached hereto (such environmental repairs hereinafter collectively referred to as “Environmental Repairs”). Borrower shall complete the Environmental Repairs on or before the required deadline for each environmental repair as set forth on Schedule VI hereto. It shall be an Event of Default under this Agreement if (a) Borrower does not complete the Environmental Repairs by the required deadline for each repair as set forth on Schedule VI, or (b) Borrower does not satisfy each condition contained in Section 7.7.2 hereof. Upon the occurrence of such an Event of Default, Lender, at its option, may withdraw all Environmental Repair Funds from the Environmental Repair Account and Lender may apply such funds either to completion of the Environmental Repairs or toward reduction of

 

101


the Outstanding Principal Balance in such order, proportion and priority as Lender may determine in its sole discretion. Lender’s right to withdraw and apply Environmental Repair Funds shall be in addition to all other rights and remedies provided to Lender under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. On the Closing Date, Borrower shall deposit with Lender the amount of $125,290.00 to perform the Environmental Repairs. Amounts so deposited with Lender shall be held by Lender in accordance with Section 7.8 hereof.

Section 7.9 Reserve Funds, Generally.

(a) Borrower grants to Lender a first-priority perfected security interest in all of the Reserve Funds and any and all monies now or hereafter deposited in each Reserve Fund as additional security for the Obligations. Until expended or applied in accordance herewith, the Reserve Funds shall constitute additional security for payment of the Obligations. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, Lender may, in addition to any and all other rights and remedies available to Lender, apply any sums then present in any or all of the Reserve Funds to the reduction of the Outstanding Principal Balance or the Mortgage Loan Outstanding Principal Balance in any order or manner of priority in its sole discretion until the Debt is paid in full, with any amounts remaining being disbursed, as a distribution permitted under applicable law, to Borrower. Any amount remaining in the Reserve Funds after the Obligations have been satisfied shall be released to Borrower.

(b) Borrower shall not, without obtaining the prior consent of Lender, further pledge, assign or grant any security interest in any Reserve Fund or the monies deposited therein or permit any lien or encumbrance to attach thereto, or any levy to be made thereon, or any UCC-1 Financing Statements, except those naming Lender as the secured party, to be filed with respect thereto.

(c) The Reserve Funds shall be held in an Eligible Account and shall be invested in Permitted Investments. Provided that no Event of Default or Mortgage Loan Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, all interest or other earnings on a Reserve Fund

 

104


shall be added to and become a part of such Reserve Fund and shall be disbursed in the same manner as other monies deposited in such Reserve Fund, except that all interest or other earnings on the Tax and Insurance Escrow Funds shall be retained by Lender. Borrower shall be responsible for payment of any federal, state or local income or other tax applicable to the interest or income earned on the Reserve Funds, except for any such taxes applicable to the interest or income earned on the Tax and Insurance Escrow Funds which is retained by Lender. No other investments of the sums on deposit in the Reserve Funds shall be permitted except as set forth in this Section 7.9. Borrower shall bear all reasonable costs associated with the investment of the sums in the account in Permitted Investments. Such costs shall be deducted from the income or earnings on such investment, if any, and to the extent such income or earnings shall not be sufficient to pay such costs, such costs shall be paid by Borrower promptly on demand by Lender. Lender shall have no liability for the rate of return earned or losses incurred on the investment of the sums in Permitted Investments.

(d) Borrower shall indemnify Lender and hold Lender harmless from and against any and all actions, suits, claims, demands, liabilities, losses, damages, obligations and costs and expenses (including litigation costs and reasonable attorneys fees and expenses) arising from or in any way connected with the Reserve Funds or the performance of the obligations for which the Reserve Funds were established. Borrower shall, effective upon an Event of Default, assign to Lender all rights and claims Borrower may have against all Persons supplying labor, materials or other services which are to be paid from or secured by the Reserve Funds; provided, however, that Lender may not pursue any such right or claim unless an Event of Default has occurred and remains uncured.

The aggregate amount of any Letters of Credit and cash on deposit with respect to the foregoing items (i) or (ii) shall at all times be at least equal to the aggregate amount which Borrower is required to have on deposit in respect of such items pursuant to this Agreement, as reasonably estimated by Lender.

(b) Borrower shall give Lender no less than thirty (30) days notice of Borrower’s election to deliver a Letter of Credit and Borrower shall pay to Lender all of Lender’s reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses in connection therewith.

Upon thirty (30) days notice to Lender, Borrower may replace a Letter of Credit with a cash deposit to the Debt Service Reserve Account.

7.10.2 Security for Debt. Each Letter of Credit delivered under this Agreement shall be additional security for the payment of the Debt. Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, Lender shall have the right, at its option, to draw on any Letter of Credit and to apply all or any part thereof to the payment of the items for which such Letter of Credit was established or to apply each such Letter of Credit to payment of the Debt in such order, proportion or priority as Lender may determine. Any such application to the Debt shall be subject to the Prepayment Premium and/or Spread Maintenance Premium due hereunder.

 

105

In addition to any other right Lender may have to draw upon a Letter of Credit pursuant to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, Lender shall have the additional rights to draw in full any Letter of Credit: (a) with respect to any evergreen Letter of Credit, if Lender has received a notice from the issuing bank that the Letter of Credit will not be renewed and a substitute Letter of Credit is not provided at least thirty (30) days prior to the date on which the outstanding Letter of Credit is scheduled to expire; (b) with respect to any Letter of Credit with a stated expiration date, if Lender has not received a notice from the issuing bank that it has renewed the Letter of Credit at least thirty (30) days prior to the date on which such Letter of Credit is scheduled to expire and a substitute Letter of Credit is not provided at least thirty (30) days prior to the date on which the outstanding Letter of Credit is scheduled to expire; (c) upon receipt of notice from the issuing bank that the Letter of Credit will be terminated (except if the termination of such Letter of Credit is permitted pursuant to the terms and conditions of this Agreement or a substitute Letter of Credit is provided); (d) if Lender has received notice that the bank issuing the Letter of Credit shall cease to be an Eligible Institution and Borrower has not substituted a Letter of Credit from an Eligible Institution within ten (10) Business Days after notice or (e) if the bank issuing the Letter of Credit shall not consent to the assignment of the Letter of Credit to such party as Lender shall request and Borrower has not substituted a Letter of Credit from an Eligible Institution within ten (10) Business Days after receiving notice from Lender of such failure to consent by the issuing bank. If Lender draws upon a Letter of Credit pursuant to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, Lender shall apply all or any part thereof for the purposes for which such Letter of Credit was established. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in the above, Lender is not obligated to draw any Letter of Credit upon the happening of an event specified in (a), (b), (c) (d) or (e) above and shall not be liable for any losses sustained by Borrower due to the insolvency of the bank issuing the Letter of Credit if Lender has not drawn the Letter of Credit.

Lender against Borrower under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents executed and delivered by, or applicable to, Borrower or at law or in equity may be exercised by Lender at any time and from time to time, whether or not all or any of the Debt shall be declared due and payable, and whether or not Lender shall have commenced any foreclosure proceeding or other action for the enforcement of its rights and remedies under any of the Loan Documents. Any such actions taken by Lender shall be cumulative and concurrent and may be pursued independently, singularly, successively, together or otherwise, at such time and in such order as Lender may determine in its sole discretion, to the fullest extent permitted by law, without impairing or otherwise affecting the other rights and remedies of Lender permitted by law, equity or contract or as set forth herein or in the other Loan Documents. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Borrower agrees that if an Event of Default is continuing (i) Lender shall not be subject to any “one action” or “election of remedies” law or rule, and (ii) all liens and other rights, remedies or privileges provided to Lender shall remain in full force and effect until Lender has exhausted all of its remedies against the Property and the Mortgage has been foreclosed, sold and/or otherwise realized upon in satisfaction of the Debt or the Obligations have been paid in full.

Notwithstanding one or more partial foreclosures, the Collateral shall remain subject to the Pledge Agreement and the other Loan Documents to secure payment of sums secured by the Pledge Agreement and the other Loan Documents and not previously recovered.

(d) Any amounts recovered from the Collateral after an Event of Default may be applied by Lender toward the payment of any interest and/or principal of the Loan and/or any other amounts due under the Loan Documents in such order, priority and proportions as Lender in its sole discretion shall determine.

(e) The rights, powers and remedies of Lender under this Agreement shall be cumulative and not exclusive of any other right, power or remedy which Lender may have against Borrower pursuant to this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, or existing at law or in equity or otherwise. Lender’s rights, powers and remedies may be pursued singularly, concurrently or otherwise, at such time and in such order as Lender may determine in Lender’s

 

110


sole discretion. No delay or omission to exercise any remedy, right or power accruing upon an Event of Default shall impair any such remedy, right or power or shall be construed as a waiver thereof, but any such remedy, right or power may be exercised from time to time and as often as may be deemed expedient. A waiver of one Default or Event of Default with respect to Borrower shall not be construed to be a waiver of any subsequent Default or Event of Default by Borrower or to impair any remedy, right or power consequent thereon.

(a) Borrower understands that certain of the Provided Information may be included in Disclosure Documents in connection with the Securitization and may also be included in filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), or provided or made available to investors or prospective investors in the Securities, the Rating Agencies, and service providers relating to the Securitization. In the event that the Disclosure Document is required to be revised prior to the sale of all Securities, Borrower will reasonably cooperate with the holder of the Note in updating the Disclosure Document by providing reasonably current information regarding the Property, Borrower and/or Mortgage Borrower necessary to keep the Disclosure Document accurate and complete in all material respects as it relates to the Property, Borrower and Principal.

(b) The Indemnifying Persons agree to provide, in connection with the Securitization, an indemnification agreement (i) certifying that the Indemnifying Persons have carefully examined those portions of the Disclosure Documents reasonably designated in writing by Lender for Borrower’s review regarding the Property, Borrower and/or Mortgage Borrower including, without limitation, the sections entitled “Risk Factors,” “Special Considerations,” “Description of the Mortgage Loans and Mortgaged Property” (solely as it relates to Borrower or the Property itself and not with respect to the Loan, the Loan Documents or any other matter), “The Manager,” and “The Borrower” (collectively with the Provided Information, the “Covered Disclosure Information”) and that the information provided in such portions of the Disclosure Documents regarding the Property, the Borrower and the Manager does not (except to the extent specified by Borrower if Borrower does not agree with the statements contained therein), as of the date of such certificate, contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements made, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, and (ii) jointly and severally indemnifying Lender, Credit Suisse (whether or not it is Lender), any Affiliate of Credit Suisse that has filed any registration statement relating to the Securitization or has acted as the sponsor or depositor in connection with the Securitization, any Affiliate of Credit Suisse that acts as an underwriter, placement agent or initial purchaser of Securities issued in the Securitization, any other co-underwriters, co-placement agents or in the case of an offering pursuant to Rule 144A, co-initial purchasers of Securities issued in the Securitization, and each of their respective officers, directors, partners, employees, representatives, agents and Affiliates and each Person or entity who controls any such Person within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act (collectively, the “Indemnified Persons”), for any actual out-of-pocket losses, claims, damages (excluding lost profits, diminution in value and other consequential damages), liabilities, costs or expenses (including without limitation legal fees and expenses for enforcement of these obligations (collectively, the “Liabilities”)) to which any such Indemnified Person may become subject to the extent the Liabilities arise out of or are based upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of any material fact contained in the Covered Disclosure Information or arise out of or are based upon the omission or alleged omission to state in the Covered Disclosure Information a material fact required to be stated in the Covered Disclosure Information or necessary in order to make the statements in the Covered Disclosure Information, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any indemnification agreement, (x) each Indemnifying Person’s obligation to indemnify in respect of any information contained in a preliminary or final registration

 

113


statement, private placement memorandum or preliminary or final prospectus that is derived in part from information provided by Borrower and in part from information provided by others unrelated to or not employed by Borrower shall be limited to any untrue statement or omission of material fact in the Covered Disclosure Information known to Borrower that results directly from an error in any information provided (or which should have been provided) by Borrower which Borrower has been given the opportunity to examine and reasonably approve and (y) Borrower shall have no responsibility for the failure of any member of the Securitization underwriting group to accurately transcribe written information supplied by Borrower or to include such portions of the Covered Disclosure Information); provided, however, that (1) the Indemnifying Persons will be liable in any such case under clause (ii) above only to the extent that any such Liabilities arise out of or are based upon any such untrue statement or omission made in the Covered Disclosure Information which the Indemnifying Persons have been given the opportunity to examine and reasonably approve in reliance upon and in conformity with information furnished to the Indemnified Persons by or on behalf of the Indemnifying Persons in connection with the preparation of the Covered Disclosure Information. This indemnity agreement will be in addition to any liability which Borrower may otherwise have. Moreover, the indemnification provided for in clauses (ii) and (iii) above shall be effective whether or not an indemnification agreement described in clause (i) above is provided. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 9.2, the indemnity, reimbursement and contribution obligations set forth in this Section 9.2 with respect to any preliminary private placement memorandum or preliminary prospectus shall not inure to the benefit of any Indemnified Person if the Person asserting any such loss, claim, damage or liability purchased any of the Securities which are the subject thereof and did not receive a copy of the final private placement memorandum or final prospectus (or the final private placement memorandum or final prospectus as supplemented) at or prior to the confirmation of the sale of such Securities to such Person in any case where such delivery is required and the untrue statement or omission of a material fact contained in such preliminary private placement memorandum or preliminary prospectus was corrected in the final private placement memorandum or final prospectus (or the final private placement memorandum or final prospectus as supplemented).

(c) Promptly after receipt by an Indemnified Person of notice of any claim or the commencement of any action, the Indemnified Person shall, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against any Indemnifying Person, notify such Indemnifying Person in writing of the claim or the commencement of that action; provided, however, that the failure to notify such Indemnifying Person shall not relieve it from any liability which it may have under the indemnification provisions of this Section 9.2 except to the extent that it has been materially prejudiced by such failure. If any such claim or action shall be brought against an Indemnified Person, and it shall notify any Indemnifying Person thereof, such Indemnifying Person shall be entitled to participate therein and, to the extent that it wishes, may elect through written notice delivered to an Indemnified Party promptly after receiving the aforesaid notice from such Indemnified Person to assume the defense thereof with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Person. After notice from any Indemnifying Person to the Indemnified Person of its election to assume the defense of such claim or action, such Indemnifying Person shall not be liable to the Indemnified Person for any legal or other expenses subsequently incurred by the Indemnified Person in connection with the defense thereof except as provided in the following sentence; provided, however, if the defendants in any such action include both an Indemnifying Person, on the one hand, and one or more Indemnified Persons on the other hand, and an

 

114


Indemnified Person shall have reasonably concluded that there are any legal defenses available to it and/or other Indemnified Persons that are different or in addition to those available to the Indemnifying Person, the Indemnified Person or Persons shall have the right to select separate counsel to assert such legal defenses and to otherwise participate in the defense of such action on behalf of such Indemnified Person or Persons. The Indemnified Person shall instruct its counsel to maintain reasonably detailed billing records for fees and disbursements for which such Indemnified Person is seeking reimbursement hereunder and shall submit copies of such detailed billing records to substantiate that such counsel’s fees and disbursements are solely related to the defense of a claim for which the Indemnifying Person is required hereunder to indemnify such Indemnified Person. No Indemnifying Person shall be liable for the expenses of more than one (1) such separate counsel unless any Indemnified Person shall have reasonably concluded (based on written advice of its counsel) that there may be legal defenses available to it that are different from or additional to those available to any Indemnifying Person.

(d) Without the prior consent of Credit Suisse (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), no Indemnifying Person shall settle or compromise or consent to the entry of any judgment in any pending or threatened claim, action, suit or proceeding in respect of which indemnification has been sought hereunder unless the Indemnifying Person shall have given Credit Suisse reasonable prior notice thereof and shall have obtained an unconditional release of each Indemnified Person hereunder from all liability arising out of such claim, action, suit or proceeding to the extent, and only to the extent, the settled claim, action, suit or proceeding relates, directly or indirectly, to the Covered Disclosure Information. Without the prior consent of Borrower (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), no Indemnifying Person shall settle or compromise or consent to the entry of any judgment in any pending claim, action, suit or proceeding in respect of which indemnification has been sought hereunder. As long as an Indemnifying Person has complied with its obligations to defend and indemnify hereunder, such Indemnifying Person shall not be liable for any settlement made by any Indemnified Person without the consent of such Indemnifying Person (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed).

(e) The Indemnifying Persons agree that if any indemnification or reimbursement sought pursuant to this Section 9.2 is finally judicially determined to be unavailable for any reason or is insufficient to hold any Indemnified Person harmless (with respect only to the Liabilities that are the subject of this Section 9.2), then the Indemnifying Persons, on the one hand, and such Indemnified Person, on the other hand, shall contribute to the Liabilities for which such indemnification or reimbursement is held unavailable or is insufficient as a result of such actual or out-of-pocket losses, third party claims, damages or liabilities (or action in respect thereof) (but excluding damages for lost profits, diminution in value of the Property and consequential damages): (x) in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative benefits to the Indemnifying Persons, on the one hand, and such Indemnified Person, on the other hand, from the transactions to which such indemnification or reimbursement relates; or (y) if the allocation provided by clause (x) above is not permitted by applicable law, in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only the relative benefits referred to in clause (x) but also the relative faults of the Indemnifying Persons, on the one hand, and all Indemnified Persons, on the other hand, as well as any other equitable considerations. Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 9.2, no party found liable for a fraudulent misrepresentation shall be entitled to contribution from any other party who is not also found liable for such fraudulent misrepresentation.

 

115


(f) The Indemnifying Persons agree that the indemnification, contribution and reimbursement obligations set forth in this Section 9.2 shall apply whether or not any Indemnified Person is a formal party to any lawsuits, claims or other proceedings. The Indemnifying Persons further agree that the Indemnified Persons are intended third party beneficiaries under this Section 9.2.

(g) The rights, liabilities and obligations of the Indemnified Persons and the Indemnifying Persons under this Section 9.2 shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the satisfaction and discharge of the Obligations.

(h) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, neither Borrower nor any Affiliate thereof shall have any obligation to act as depositor with respect to the Loan or an issuer or registrant with respect to the Securities issued in any Securitization.

(i) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary provided in this Agreement or in any other Loan Document or indemnification agreement, the indemnification provided in this Section 9.2 shall be fully recourse to Borrower, but shall be limited to Borrower’s interest in the Property.

Section 9.3 Intentionally Omitted.

Section 9.4 Exculpation. Subject to the qualifications below, Lender shall not enforce the liability and obligation of Borrower to perform and observe the obligations contained in the Note, this Agreement, the Pledge Agreement or the other Loan Documents by any action or proceeding wherein a money judgment shall be sought against Borrower, except that Lender may bring a foreclosure action, an action for specific performance or any other appropriate action or proceeding to enable Lender to enforce and realize upon its interest under the Note, this Agreement, the Pledge Agreement and the other Loan Documents, or in the Collateral or any other collateral given to Lender pursuant to the Loan Documents; provided, however, that, except as specifically provided herein, any judgment in any such action or proceeding shall be enforceable against Borrower only to the extent of Borrower’s interest in the Collateral and in any other collateral given to Lender, and Lender, by accepting the Note, this Agreement, the Pledge Agreement and the other Loan Documents, agrees for itself and its successors and assigns that it and its successors and assigns shall not sue for, seek or demand any deficiency judgment against Borrower in any such action or proceeding under, or by reason of, or in connection with, the Note, this Agreement, the Pledge Agreement or the other Loan Documents. The provisions of this Section shall not, however, (a) constitute a waiver, release or impairment of any obligation evidenced or secured by any of the Loan Documents; (b) impair the right of Lender to name Borrower as a party defendant in any action or suit for foreclosure and sale under the Pledge Agreement; (c) affect the validity or enforceability of or any Guaranty made in connection with the Loan or any of the rights and remedies of Lender thereunder; (d) impair the right of Lender to obtain the appointment of a receiver; (e) impair the enforcement of the Assignment of Leases; (f) constitute a prohibition against Lender to seek a deficiency judgment against Borrower in order to fully realize the security granted by the Pledge Agreement or to

 

116


commence any other appropriate action or proceeding in order for Lender to exercise its remedies against the Collateral; or (g) constitute a waiver of the right of Lender to enforce the liability and obligation of Borrower under the terms of this Agreement, by money judgment or otherwise, to the extent of any actual out of pocket loss, damage, cost, expense, liability, claim or other obligation incurred by Lender (including attorneys’ fees and costs reasonably incurred) arising out of or in connection with the following:

(i) fraud or intentional misrepresentation by Borrower or any Guarantor in connection with the Loan;

(ii) the breach of any representation, warranty, covenant or indemnification provision in the Environmental Indemnity Agreement or in the Mortgage concerning environmental laws, hazardous substances or asbestos;

(iii) the wrongful removal or destruction of any material portion of the Property or the Collateral after an Event of Default, provided that Borrower has received notice of such wrongful removal or destruction;

(iv) the misappropriation or conversion by or on behalf of Borrower or Mortgage Borrower of (A) any Net Liquidation Proceeds or Insurance Proceeds paid by reason of any Casualty, (B) any Awards received in connection with a Condemnation, (C) any Rents following an Event of Default, (D) any Rents paid more than one (1) month in advance, or (E) any Gross Sales Proceeds not applied in accordance with the terms of this Agreement or the Mortgage Loan Agreement, in each case only to the extent of the amounts received by Borrower or Mortgage Borrower; and

(v) any security deposits, advance deposits or any other deposits collected with respect to the Property which are not delivered to Lender upon a foreclosure of the Property or action in lieu thereof, except to the extent any such security deposits were applied in accordance with the terms and conditions of any of the Leases prior to such foreclosure or action in lieu thereof.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the Note or any of the Loan Documents, (A) Lender shall not be deemed to have waived any right which Lender may have under Section 506(a), 506(b), 1111(b) or any other provisions of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code to file a claim for the full amount of the Debt secured by the Pledge Agreement or to require that all collateral shall continue to secure all of the Obligations in accordance with the Loan Documents, and (B) the Debt shall be fully recourse to Borrower (i) in the event of: (a) Borrower or Mortgage Borrower filing a voluntary petition under the Bankruptcy Code or any other Federal or state bankruptcy or insolvency law; (b) the filing of an involuntary petition against Borrower or Mortgage Borrower under the Bankruptcy Code or any other Federal or state bankruptcy or insolvency law if and only if Borrower has acted in concert with, colluded or conspired with the petitioning creditors for any involuntary petition from any Person in order to cause the filing thereof to interfere with the enforcement rights of Lender; (c) Borrower or Mortgage Borrower consenting to or acquiescing in or joining in an application for the appointment of a custodian, receiver, trustee, or examiner for Borrower or Mortgage Borrower or any portion of the Property or the Collateral if and only if Borrower has acted in concert with, colluded or conspired with the

 

117


Persons bringing such application; (d) Borrower or Mortgage Borrower making an assignment for the benefit of creditors, or admitting, in writing or in any legal proceeding, its insolvency or inability to pay its debts as they become due, and, with respect to such events described in the foregoing clauses (b) and (c), either any or all of Borrower, Principal or Guarantor has acted in concert with, colluded or conspired to cause such condition or event in order to interfere with the enforcement of Lender’s rights and remedies; (ii) if Borrower or Mortgage Borrower fail to maintain its status as a Special Purpose Entity in compliance with clauses (a), (b), (c), (d), (i), (n), (u), (v), (y), and (bb) of the definition of “Special Purpose Entity”, each as required by, and in accordance with, the terms and provisions of this Agreement; (iv) if Borrower fails to obtain Lender’s prior consent to any Indebtedness for borrowed money as required by this Agreement; or (v) if Borrower fails to obtain Lender’s prior consent to any Transfer as required by this Agreement or the Mortgage.

Section 9.5 Matters Concerning Manager. If (i) an Event of Default occurs and is continuing, (ii) the Manager shall become bankrupt or insolvent, or (iii) an Event of Default (as defined in the Management Agreement) occurs under the Management Agreement beyond any applicable grace and cure periods, Borrower shall, at the request of Lender, use commercially reasonable efforts to terminate the Management Agreement and replace the Manager with a manager approved by Lender on terms and conditions reasonably satisfactory to Lender, provided, however, that notwithstanding the foregoing, each of the Persons listed on Schedule IV (each, an “Approved Manager”) shall be deemed approved by Lender as a potential manager of the Property (and such Approved Managers shall not require the prior approval of either Lender or the Rating Agencies) as long as at the time of such replacement there has been no material adverse chance in the business or condition, financial or otherwise, of such Person; it being understood and agreed that the management fee for such replacement manager shall not exceed then prevailing market rates.

Section 9.6 Servicer. At the option of Lender, the Loan may be serviced by a servicer/trustee (the “Servicer”) selected by Lender and Lender may delegate all or any portion of its responsibilities under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents to the Servicer pursuant to a servicing agreement (the “Servicing Agreement”) between Lender and Servicer. Borrower shall be responsible for any reasonable set-up fees or any other initial costs relating to or arising under the Servicing Agreement; provided, however, that Borrower shall not be responsible for payment of the monthly servicing fee due to the Servicer under the Servicing Agreement.

Section 9.7 Restructuring of Loan. Lender, without in any way limiting Lender’s other rights hereunder, in its sole and absolute discretion, shall have the right at any time to require Borrower to restructure the Loan into multiple notes (which may include component notes and/or senior and junior notes) and/or to create participation interests in the Loan, which restructuring may include reallocation of principal amounts of the Loan and/or the Mortgage Loan or the restructuring of a portion of the Loan and/or the Mortgage Loan and/or the creation of an additional mezzanine loan (the “New Mezzanine Loan”) to the owners of the equity interests in Borrower, secured by a pledge of such interests, the establishment of different interest rates, floor interest rates and debt service payments for the Loan, the Mortgage Loan and the New Mezzanine Loan and the payment of the Loan, the Mortgage Loan and the New Mezzanine Loan in such order of priority as may be designated by Lender; provided, that (i) the total principal

 

118


amounts of the Loan, the Mortgage Loan and the New Mezzanine Loan shall equal the total principal amount of the Loan and the Mortgage Loan immediately prior to the restructuring, (ii) except in the case of a Mortgage Loan Event of Default, an Event of Default, and/or an Event of Default under the New Mezzanine Loan, the weighted average spread above LIBOR of the Loan, the Mortgage Loan and the New Mezzanine Loan, if any, shall, in the aggregate, equal to two and one-half percent (2.50%), and (iii) except in the case of a Mortgage Loan Event of Default, an Event of Default and/or an Event of Default under the New Mezzanine Loan, the debt service payments on the Loan, the Mortgage Loan and the New Mezzanine Loan shall equal the aggregate debt service payments which would have been payable under the Loan and the Mortgage Loan had the restructuring not occurred; provided, further, that, notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 9.7, Lender may, in its sole and absolute discretion, reallocate the application of amortization amounts to any portion of the Loan, the New Mezzanine Loan and/or the Mortgage Loan regardless of whether such reallocation results in any adverse effect, economic or otherwise change, with respect to the Loan, the New Mezzanine Loan and/or the Mortgage Loan. Borrower shall cooperate with all reasonable requests of Lender in order to restructure the Loan and the Mortgage Loan and create a New Mezzanine Loan, if applicable, and shall, upon ten (10) Business Days written notice from Lender, which notice shall include the forms of documents for which Lender is requesting execution and delivery, (A) execute and deliver such documents including, without limitation in the case of any New Mezzanine Loan, a mezzanine note, a mezzanine loan agreement, a pledge and security agreement and a mezzanine deposit account agreement, (B) cause Borrower’s counsel to deliver such legal opinions and (C) create such bankruptcy remote borrower under the New Mezzanine Loan as, in each of the case of (A), (B) and (C) above, shall be reasonably required by Lender and required by any Rating Agency in connection therewith, all in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Lender, including, without limitation, the severance of this Agreement, the Pledge Agreement and other Loan Documents if requested. Except as may be required in connection with a Securitization pursuant to Section 9.1 hereof, Borrower shall not be obligated to pay any costs or expenses incurred in connection with any such restructuring as set forth in this Section 9.7. In the event Borrower fails to execute and deliver such documents to Lender within ten (10) Business Days following such written notice by Lender, and Lender sends a second notice to Borrower with respect to the delivery of such documents containing a legend clearly marked in not less than fourteen (14) point bold face type, underlined, in all capital letters “POWER OF ATTORNEY IN FAVOR OF LENDER DEEMED EFFECTIVE FOR EXECUTION AND DELIVERY OF DOCUMENTS IF NO RESPONSE WITHIN 10 BUSINESS DAYS”, Borrower hereby absolutely and irrevocably appoints Lender as its true and lawful attorney, coupled with an interest, in its name and stead to make and execute all documents necessary or desirable to effect such transactions, Borrower ratifying all that such attorney shall do by virtue thereof, if Borrower fails to execute and deliver such documents within ten (10) Business Days of receipt of such second notice. It shall be an Event of Default if Borrower fails to comply with any of the terms, covenants or conditions of this Section 9.7 after the expiration of ten (10) Business Days after the second notice thereof.

To the extent Borrower makes a payment or payments to Lender, which payment or proceeds or any part thereof are subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside or required to be repaid to a trustee, receiver or any other party under any bankruptcy law, state or federal law, common law or equitable cause, then, to the extent of such payment or proceeds received, the Obligations hereunder or part thereof intended to be satisfied shall be revived and continue in full force and effect, as if such payment or proceeds had not been received by Lender.

Section 10.11 Waiver of Notice. Borrower hereby expressly waives, and shall not be entitled to, any notices of any nature whatsoever from Lender except with respect to matters for which this Agreement or the other Loan Documents specifically and expressly provide for the giving of notice by Lender to Borrower and except with respect to matters for which Borrower is not, pursuant to applicable Legal Requirements, permitted to waive the giving of notice.

Section 10.12 Intentionally Omitted.

Section 10.13 Expenses; Indemnity.

(a) Borrower covenants and agrees to pay or, if Borrower fails to pay, to reimburse, Lender upon receipt of notice from Lender for all reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements) incurred by Lender in connection with (i) the preparation, negotiation, execution and delivery of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby and all the costs of furnishing all opinions by counsel for Borrower (including without limitation any opinions requested by Lender as to any legal matters arising under this Agreement or the other Loan Documents with respect to the Property); (ii) except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, Borrower’s ongoing performance of and compliance with Borrower’s respective agreements and covenants contained in this Agreement and the other Loan Documents on its part to be performed or complied with after the Closing Date, including, without limitation, confirming compliance with environmental and insurance requirements; (iii) the negotiation, preparation, execution, delivery and administration of any consents, amendments, waivers or other modifications to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and any other documents or matters requested by Lender; (iv) securing Borrower’s compliance with any requests made pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents; (v) the filing and recording fees and expenses, title insurance and reasonable fees and expenses of counsel for providing to Lender all required legal opinions, and other similar expenses incurred in creating and perfecting the Liens in favor of Lender pursuant to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents; (vi) enforcing or preserving any rights, either in response to third party claims or in prosecuting or defending any action or proceeding or other litigation, in each case against, under

 

124


or affecting Borrower, this Agreement, the other Loan Documents, the Property, or any other security given for the Loan; and (vii) enforcing any obligations of or collecting any payments due from Borrower under this Agreement, the other Loan Documents or with respect to the Property or in connection with any refinancing or restructuring of the credit arrangements provided under this Agreement in the nature of a “work-out” or of any insolvency or bankruptcy proceedings; provided, however, that Borrower shall not be liable for the payment of any such costs and expenses to the extent the same arise by reason of the gross negligence, illegal acts, fraud or willful misconduct of Lender or any expenses incurred in connection with a Securitization, under Section 9.7 or as otherwise set forth herein, except as otherwise set forth in Section 9.2. Any cost and expenses due and payable to Lender may be paid, at Lender’s option, from any amounts in the Lockbox Account or First Mezzanine Cash Management Account.

(b) Borrower shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless Lender from and against any and all other liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, claims, costs, expenses and disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever (including, without limitation, the reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel for Lender in connection with any investigative, administrative or judicial proceeding commenced or threatened, whether or not Lender shall be designated a party thereto), that may be imposed on, incurred by, or asserted against Lender in any manner relating to or arising out of (i) any breach by Borrower of its obligations under, or any material misrepresentation by Borrower contained in, this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, or (ii) the use or intended use of the proceeds of the Loan (collectively, the “Indemnified Liabilities”); provided, however, that Borrower shall not have any obligation to Lender hereunder to the extent that such Indemnified Liabilities arise from the gross negligence, illegal acts, bad faith, fraud or willful misconduct of Lender. To the extent that the undertaking to indemnify, defend and hold harmless set forth in the preceding sentence may be unenforceable because it violates any law or public policy, Borrower shall pay the maximum portion that it is permitted to pay and satisfy under applicable law to the payment and satisfaction of all Indemnified Liabilities incurred by Lender.

(c) Borrower covenants and agrees to pay for or, if Borrower fails to pay, to reimburse Lender for, any fees and expenses incurred by any Rating Agency in connection with any Rating Agency review of the Loan, the Loan Documents or any transaction contemplated thereby or any consent, approval, waiver or confirmation obtained from such Rating Agency pursuant to the terms and conditions of this Agreement or any other Loan Document and Lender shall be entitled to require payment of such fees and expenses as a condition precedent to the obtaining of any such consent, approval, waiver or confirmation.

Section 10.14 Schedules Incorporated. The Schedules annexed hereto are hereby incorporated herein as a part of this Agreement with the same effect as if set forth in the body hereof.

Section 10.15 Offsets, Counterclaims and Defenses. Any assignee of Lender’s interest in and to this Agreement, the Note and the other Loan Documents shall take the same free and clear of all offsets, counterclaims or defenses which are unrelated to such documents which Borrower may otherwise have against any assignor of such documents, and no such unrelated counterclaim or defense shall be interposed or asserted by Borrower in any action or proceeding brought by any such assignee upon such documents and any such right to interpose or assert any

 

125


such unrelated offset, counterclaim or defense in any such action or proceeding is hereby expressly waived by Borrower unless such offset, counterclaim or defense would otherwise be forfeited.

Section 10.16 No Joint Venture or Partnership; No Third Party Beneficiaries.

(a) Borrower and Lender intend that the relationships created hereunder and under the other Loan Documents be solely that of borrower and lender. Nothing herein or therein is intended to create a joint venture, partnership, tenancy-in-common, or joint tenancy relationship between Borrower and Lender nor to grant Lender any interest in the Property other than that of mortgagee, beneficiary or lender.

(b) This Agreement and the other Loan Documents are solely for the benefit of Lender and Borrower and nothing contained in this Agreement or the other Loan Documents shall be deemed to confer upon anyone other than Lender and Borrower any right to insist upon or to enforce the performance or observance of any of the obligations contained herein or therein. All conditions to the obligations of Lender to make the Loan hereunder are imposed solely and exclusively for the benefit of Lender and no other Person shall have standing to require satisfaction of such conditions in accordance with their terms or be entitled to assume that Lender will refuse to make the Loan (or any disbursement of Reserve Funds) in the absence of strict compliance with any or all thereof and no other Person shall under any circumstances be deemed to be a beneficiary of such conditions, any or all of which may be freely waived in whole or in part by Lender if, in Lender’s sole discretion, Lender deems it advisable or desirable to do so.

Section 10.17 Publicity. All news releases, publicity or advertising (other than in connection with a Securitization) by either party or its Affiliates through any media intended to reach the general public which refers to the Loan Documents or the financing evidenced by the Loan Documents, to Lender, Borrower, CSFB, or any of their Affiliates shall be subject to the prior approval of the other party hereto.

Section 10.18 Waiver of Marshalling of Assets. To the fullest extent permitted by law, Borrower, for itself and its successors and assigns, waives all rights to a marshalling of the assets of Borrower, Borrower’s partners and others with interests in Borrower, and of the Property, or to a sale in inverse order of alienation in the event of foreclosure of the Mortgage, 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 for the collection of the Debt without any prior or different resort for collection or of the right of Lender to the payment of the Debt out of the net proceeds of the Property in preference to every other claimant whatsoever.

Section 10.19 Waiver of Offsets/Defenses/Counterclaims. Borrower hereby waives the right to assert a counterclaim, other than a mandatory or compulsory counterclaim, in any action or proceeding brought against it by Lender or its agents or otherwise to offset any Obligations under the Loan Documents. No failure by Lender to perform any of its obligations hereunder shall be a valid defense to, or result in any offset against, any payments which Borrower is obligated to make under any of the Loan Documents.

 

126


Section 10.20 Conflict; Construction of Documents; Reliance. In the event of any conflict between the provisions of this Agreement and any of the other Loan Documents, the provisions of this Agreement shall control. The parties hereto acknowledge that they were represented by competent counsel in connection with the negotiation, drafting and execution of the Loan Documents and that such Loan Documents shall not be subject to the principle of construing their meaning against the party which drafted same. Borrower acknowledges that, with respect to the Loan, Borrower shall rely solely on its own judgment and advisors in entering into the Loan without relying in any manner on any statements, representations or recommendations of Lender or any parent, subsidiary or Affiliate of Lender. Lender shall not be subject to any limitation whatsoever in the exercise of any rights or remedies available to it under any of the Loan Documents or any other agreements or instruments which govern the Loan by virtue of the ownership by it or any parent, subsidiary or Affiliate of Lender of any equity interest any of them may acquire in Borrower, and Borrower hereby irrevocably waives the right to raise any defense or take any action on the basis of the foregoing with respect to Lender’s exercise of any such rights or remedies. Borrower acknowledges that Lender engages in the business of real estate financings and other real estate transactions and investments which may be viewed as adverse to or competitive with the business of Borrower or its Affiliates.

Section 10.21 Brokers and Financial Advisors. Borrower hereby represents that it has dealt with no financial advisors, brokers, underwriters, placement agents, agents or finders in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. Borrower hereby agrees to indemnify, defend and hold Lender harmless from and against any and all claims, liabilities, costs and expenses of any kind (including Lender’s attorneys’ fees and expenses) in any way relating to or arising from a claim by any Person that such Person acted on behalf of Borrower in connection with the transactions contemplated herein. The provisions of this Section 10.21 shall survive the expiration and termination of this Agreement and the payment of the Debt.

Section 10.22 Prior Agreements. This Agreement and the other Loan Documents contain the entire agreement of the parties hereto and thereto in respect of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby, and all prior agreements among or between such parties, whether oral or written, between Borrower and Lender, are superseded by the terms of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.

Section 10.23 Duplicate Originals, Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of duplicate originals and each duplicate original shall be deemed to be an original. This Agreement may be executed in several counterparts, each of which counterparts shall be deemed an original instrument and all of which together shall constitute a single Agreement. The failure of any party hereto to execute this Assignment, or any counterpart hereof, shall not relieve the other signatories from their obligations hereunder.

Section 10.24 Certain Additional Rights of Lender. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary which may be contained in this Agreement to the contrary, Lender shall have:

 

127


(a) the right to routinely consult with and advise Borrower’s management regarding the significant business activities and business and financial developments of Borrower, provided, however, that such consultations shall not include discussions of environmental compliance programs or disposal of hazardous substances;

(b) the right, in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, to examine the books and records of Borrower at any time upon reasonable notice;

(c) the right, in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, including, without limitation, Section 5.1.11 hereof, to receive monthly, quarterly and year-end financial reports, including balance sheets, statements of income, shareholder’s equity and cash flow, a management report and schedules of outstanding indebtedness;

(d) the right to restrict, upon the occurrence of a material Event of Default, Borrower’s payments of management consulting, director or similar fees to Affiliates of Borrower (or their personnel); and

(e) the right, without restricting any other rights of Lender under this Agreement (including any similar right), to approve any acquisition by Borrower of any other significant property (other than personal property required for the day to day operation of the Property).

The rights described above may be exercised by any entity which owns and controls, directly or indirectly, substantially all of the interests in Lender.

Section 10.25 Intercreditor Agreement. Borrower hereby acknowledges and agrees that any intercreditor agreement entered into between Lender and Mortgage Lender will be solely for the benefit of Lender and Mortgage Lender, and that neither Borrower nor Mortgage Borrower shall be intended third-party beneficiaries of any of the provisions therein, shall have no rights thereunder and shall not be entitled to rely on any of the provisions contained therein. Borrower’s obligations hereunder are and will be independent of such intercreditor agreement and shall remain unmodified by the terms and provisions thereof.

Section 10.26 Amendment and Restatement. Borrower hereby agrees that the Original First Mezzanine Loan Agreement is hereby amended and restated in its entirety, so that all of the terms and conditions contained in this Agreement shall supersede, replace and control the terms and conditions of the Original First Mezzanine Loan Agreement, it being understood and agreed that the execution of this Agreement shall not impair the liens of any of the Loan Documents.

ARTICLE 11

MORTGAGE LOAN AND OTHER MEZZANINE LOANS

Section 11.1 Deliveries.

(a) Promptly after receipt, Borrower shall deliver (or cause Mortgage Borrower to deliver) to Lender a true, correct and complete copy of all material notices, demands, requests or material correspondence (including electronically transmitted items) received from Mortgage Lender by Mortgage Borrower or any guarantor under the Mortgage Loan Documents.

 

128


(b) Unless otherwise delivered to Lender pursuant to the provisions of Section 5.1.11, Borrower shall deliver (or cause Mortgage Borrower to deliver) to Lender all of the financial statements, reports, certificates and related items delivered or required to be delivered by Mortgage Borrower to Mortgage Lender under the Mortgage Loan Documents as and when due under the Mortgage Loan Documents.

Section 11.2 Estoppels. After written request by Lender, Borrower shall (or shall cause Mortgage Borrower to) from time to time, use reasonable efforts to obtain from Mortgage Lender such estoppel certificates with respect to the status of the Mortgage Loan and compliance by Mortgage Borrower with the terms of the Mortgage Loan Documents as may reasonably be requested by Lender. In the event or to the extent that Mortgage Lender is not legally obligated to deliver such estoppel certificates and is unwilling to deliver the same, or is legally obligated to deliver such estoppel certificates but breaches such obligation, then Borrower shall not be in breach of this provision so long as Borrower furnishes to Lender estoppels executed by Borrower and Mortgage Borrower expressly representing to Lender the information requested by Lender regarding the status of the Mortgage Loan and the compliance by Mortgage Borrower with the terms of the Mortgage Loan Documents. Borrower hereby indemnifies Lender from and against all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, assessments, actions, or causes of action, judgments, suits, claims, demands, costs, expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ and other professional fees, whether or not suit is brought and settlement costs) and reasonable disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever which may be imposed on, actually incurred by, or asserted against Lender based in whole or in part upon any fact, event, condition, or circumstances relating to the Mortgage Loan which was misrepresented in any material respect by Borrower in, or which warrants disclosure and was omitted from such estoppel executed by Borrower and Mortgage Borrower.
