          2.2.3 Payments Generally. On the Closing Date, Borrower will pay to Lender an amount equal to the interest which will accrue on the Loan from the Closing Date through and including the last day of the calendar month in which the Closing Date occurs.

balance of the Loan through the end of the Interest Period during which the Maturity Date occurs (even if such period extends beyond the Maturity Date)).

If, by the terms of this Agreement or the

-24-


 

other Loan Documents, Borrower is at any time required or obligated to pay interest on the principal balance due hereunder at a rate in excess of the Maximum Legal Rate, the Regular 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.

Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, in no event shall Borrower have the right to elect to convert the Loan bearing interest at the Regular Interest Rate to a Prime Rate Loan.
          (d) (i) With respect to the Regular Interest Rate, all payments made by Borrower hereunder shall be made free and clear of, and without reduction for or on account of, income, stamp or other taxes, levies, imposts, duties, charges, fees, deductions, reserves or withholdings imposed, levied, collected, withheld or assessed by any Governmental Authority, which are imposed, enacted or become effective after the date hereof (such non-excluded taxes being referred to collectively as “Foreign Taxes”), excluding income and franchise taxes of the United States of America or any political subdivision or taxing authority thereof or therein (including Puerto Rico) or any other jurisdiction. If any Foreign Taxes are required to be withheld from any amounts payable to Lender hereunder, the amounts so payable to Lender shall be increased to the extent necessary to yield to Lender (after payment of all Foreign Taxes) interest or any such other amounts payable hereunder at the rate or in the amounts specified hereunder. Whenever any Foreign Tax is payable with respect to the Loan pursuant to applicable law by Borrower provided Lender or the applicable Governmental Authority has notified

-25-


 

Borrower of such payment obligation, as promptly as possible thereafter, Borrower shall send to Lender an original official receipt, if available, or certified copy thereof showing payment of such Foreign Tax. Borrower shall indemnify Lender for any incremental taxes, interest or penalties that may become payable by Lender which may result from any failure by Borrower to pay any such Foreign Tax when due to the appropriate taxing authority or any failure by Borrower to remit to Lender the required receipts or other required documentary evidence in accordance with this Section 2.2.8(d). The obligations of Borrower shall survive the payment of the Debt and termination of this Agreement.
     (ii) If Lender receives a refund of, or a credit relating to, any Foreign Tax which has been paid by Borrower or the cost of which Borrower has borne, pursuant to any provision of this Section 2.2.8, it shall pay over such refund or credit to Borrower; provided, that Borrower, upon the request of Lender, agrees to promptly repay the amount paid over to Lender in the event Lender is required to repay such refund or credit to a relevant Governmental Authority. The obligations of Lender shall survive the payment of the Debt and termination of this Agreement.
     (iii) If Lender is not created or organized under the laws of the United States of America or a state thereof it shall, not more than ten (10) Business Days after the date of this Agreement (or ten (10) Business Days after the date it becomes a Lender, if later), deliver to Borrower two duly completed and signed copies of United States Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN, W-8IMY or W-8ECI or any successor form thereto, as applicable. If Lender is created or organized under the laws of the United States of America or any state thereof, it shall not more than ten (10) Business Days after written request of Borrower, deliver to Borrower two duly completed copies of United States Internal Revenue Service Form W-9. Lender further undertakes to deliver to Borrower promptly after written request of Borrower renewals or additional copies of such form (or any successor form) (i) on or before the date that such form expires or becomes obsolete upon request, and (ii) after the occurrence of any event requiring a change in the most recent forms so delivered by it. All forms or amendments described in the preceding sentence shall certify that such Lender is entitled to receive payments under this Agreement (including on behalf of participants, if applicable) without deduction or withholding of any United States federal income taxes.
     (iv) For any period during which Lender has failed to provide Borrower with the forms required above (unless such failure is due to a change in treaty, law or regulation, or any change in the interpretation or administration thereof by any Governmental Authority, occurring subsequent to the date on which a form initially was required to be provided) Borrower may, if and to the extent required by applicable Law, withhold taxes imposed by the United States in respect of payments due to Lender and Lender shall not be entitled to indemnification with respect to taxes imposed by the United States; provided that, if Lender is otherwise exempt from or subject to a reduced rate of withholding tax and then becomes subject to taxes because of its failure to deliver a form required above, Borrower shall take such steps, at the sole reasonable expense of Lender, as Lender shall reasonably request to assist Lender to recover such taxes. If the U.S. Internal Revenue Service or any other Governmental Authority asserts a claim that Borrower did not properly withhold tax from amounts paid to or for the account of

-26-


 

Lender solely as a result of the fact that the appropriate form was not delivered or because Lender failed to notify Borrower of a change in circumstances which rendered its exemption or reduction from withholding ineffective, Lender shall defend and indemnify Borrower fully for all amounts paid by Borrower as tax, withholding therefor, or otherwise, including penalties and interest, and including taxes imposed by any jurisdiction on amounts payable to Borrower under this subsection, together with all out-of-pocket costs and expenses related thereto (including reasonable attorneys fees and expenses). The obligations of Lender under this Section 2.2.8 shall survive the payment of the Debt and termination of this Agreement.
          (e) If any requirement of law enacted after the date hereof, or any change in law or in the interpretation or application thereof after the date hereof, shall hereafter make it unlawful for Lender to make or maintain the Regular Interest Rate as contemplated hereunder and the events giving rise thereto affects similarly situated banks or financial institutions generally, (i) the obligation of Lender hereunder to maintain the Regular Interest Rate or to convert a Prime Rate Loan to the Regular Interest Rate shall be canceled forthwith and (ii) any portion of the Loan bearing interest at the Regular Interest Rate shall be converted automatically to a Prime Rate Loan on the first day of the next succeeding Interest Period 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 Loan at the Regular Interest Rate hereunder. Lender’s notice of such costs, as certified to Borrower, shall be conclusive absent manifest error.
          (f) In the event that any change after the date hereof 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 and the events giving rise thereto affects similarly situated banks or financial institutions generally:
     (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 Rate 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 deemed by Lender to be material; or
     (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;

-27-


 

then, in any such case, Borrower shall promptly pay Lender, upon demand, any additional amounts necessary to compensate Lender for such additional cost or reduced amount receivable which Lender deems to be material as determined by Lender in its reasonable discretion. If Lender becomes entitled to claim any additional amounts pursuant to this Section 2.2.8(f), Lender shall provide Borrower with not less than thirty (30) days written notice specifying in reasonable detail the event by reason of which it has become so entitled and the additional amount required to fully compensate Lender for such additional cost or reduced amount. 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. Subject to Section 2.2.8(h) hereof, this provision shall survive payment of the Note and the satisfaction of all other obligations of Borrower under this Agreement and the Loan Documents.
          (g) Subject to the provisions of Section 9.4 hereof, Borrower agrees to indemnify Lender and to hold Lender harmless from any loss or expense which Lender sustains or incurs as a consequence of (i) any default by Borrower in payment of the principal of or interest on at the Regular Interest Rate, 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 the Regular Interest Rate hereunder, (ii) any prepayment (whether voluntary or mandatory) of the Loan at the Regular Interest Rate on a day that (A) is not a Payment Date or (B) is a Payment Date if Borrower did not give the prior written notice of such prepayment 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 Regular Interest Rate hereunder and (iii) the conversion pursuant to the terms hereof of the Regular Interest Rate to the Prime Rate Loan on a date other than the Payment Date, including, without limitation, such loss or expenses arising from interest or fees payable by Lender to lenders of funds obtained by it in order to maintain the Regular Interest Rate hereunder (the amounts referred to in clauses (i), (ii) and (iii) 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, gross negligence, fraud or illegal acts. 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.
          (h) Subject to the other provisions of this Section 2.2.8, Lender shall not be entitled to claim compensation pursuant to this Section 2.2.8 for any Foreign Taxes, increased cost or reduction in amounts received or receivable hereunder, or any reduced rate of return, which was incurred or which accrued more than the earlier of (i) ninety (90) days before the date Lender notified Borrower in writing 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 2.2.8, which statement shall be conclusive and binding upon all parties hereto absent manifest error, or (ii) any earlier date (but not earlier than the effective date of such change in law or circumstance) provided that Lender notified Borrower of such change in law or circumstance and delivered the written statement referenced in clause (i) within ninety (90) days after Lender received written notice of such change in law or circumstance. Lender shall use reasonable efforts to avoid or mitigate any increased cost, reduced receivable or suspension of the availability of LIBOR to the greatest extent practicable (including transferring the Loan to another lending office or affiliate of a Lender) unless, in the opinion of Lender, such efforts

-28-


 

would be likely to have any adverse effect upon it. In the event Lender (other than a trustee holding the Loan on behalf of holders of securities after the occurrence of a Securitization) makes a request to Borrower for additional payments in accordance with Section 2.2.8 then, provided that no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing at such time, Borrower may, at its own expense (such expense to include Breakage Costs if such assignment occurs on a date other than a Payment Date), and in its sole discretion require such Lender to transfer and assign in whole (but not in part), without recourse all of its interests, rights and obligations under this Agreement to an assignee identified by Borrower, which assignee shall assume such assigned obligations; provided that (i) such assignment shall not conflict with any law, rule or regulation or order of any court or other Governmental Authority, and (ii) Borrower or such assignee shall have paid to the assigning Lender, in immediately available funds, the principal of and interest accrued to the date of such payment on, the portion of the Loan hereunder held by such assigning Lender and all other amounts owed to such assigning Lender hereunder.
          Section 2.3 Prepayments.
          2.3.1 Voluntary Prepayments. (a) Borrower may prepay the Debt in whole (but not in part) on any Payment Date prior to the Prepayment Release Date, provided that, subject to the provisions of clause (b) of this Section 2.3.1, Borrower shall pay to Lender simultaneously with such prepayment, (i) the interest that would have accrued at the Regular Interest Rate on the amount then prepaid through the end of the Interest Period in which such prepayment occurs, notwithstanding that such Interest Period extends beyond the date of prepayment, (ii) the Spread Maintenance Premium, and (iii) all other sums then due and payable under this Agreement, the Note, and the other Loan Documents. Commencing on the Prepayment Release Date, Borrower may prepay the Debt in whole (but not in part) without any Spread Maintenance Premium provided that, subject to the provisions of clause (b) of this Section 2.3.1, Borrower shall pay to Lender, simultaneously with such prepayment, the interest that would have accrued at the Regular Interest Rate on the amount then prepaid through the end of the Interest Period in which such prepayment occurs, notwithstanding that such Interest Period extends beyond the date of prepayment and all other sums then due and payable under this Agreement, the Note, and the other Loan Documents. Any prepayments made in accordance with this Section 2.3.1 shall be applied, first, to accrued and unpaid interest on the outstanding principal balance of the Loan that would have accrued at the Regular Interest Rate on the amount prepaid through the end of the Interest Period in which such prepayment occurs, notwithstanding that such Interest Period extends beyond the date of prepayment, and then to all other amounts then due to Lender under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents and then to the outstanding principal balance of the Loan.
          (b) In addition to the provisions of clause (a) of this Section 2.3.1, it is agreed that in the event that the Debt is prepaid during the period commencing on the first day after a Payment Date and ending on (but including) the last day of the Interest Period in which such prepayment occurs, Borrower will pay to Lender, simultaneously with such prepayment, interest on the principal amount of the Loan prepaid through the last day of that Interest Period immediately following the Interest Period in which such prepayment occurs, calculated at the Regular Interest Rate. In the event that such prepayment occurs prior to the applicable Determination Date it may be impossible for Borrower and Lender to calculate with certainty the interest that would have accrued at the Regular Interest Rate on the amount then prepaid through

-29-


 

the end of the Interest Period following the Interest Period in which such prepayment occurs. Accordingly, in the event that the Debt is prepaid prior to the Determination Date applicable to the Interest Period following the Interest Period in which such prepayment occurs, the interest that would have accrued at the Regular Interest Rate on the amount then prepaid through the end of the Interest Period following the Interest Period in which such prepayment occurs shall be calculated based on an interest rate (the “Assumed Note Rate”) equal to the sum of (i) the LIBOR Rate applicable to the Interest Period in which such prepayment occurs, plus (ii) the LIBOR Spread, plus (iii) 1.00%. Thereafter, on the Determination Date applicable to the Interest Period following the Interest Period in which such prepayment occurs, Lender shall determine the Regular Interest Rate as if such prepayment had not occurred. If it is determined by Lender that the Regular Interest Rate for the Interest Period following the Interest Period in which such prepayment occurs is less than the Assumed Note Rate, Lender shall promptly refund to Borrower, without interest, an amount equal to the difference between the interest paid by Borrower for the Interest Period following the Interest Period in which such prepayment occurs calculated at the Assumed Note Rate and the amount of interest for said Interest Period calculated at the actual Regular Interest Rate. Alternatively, in the event that it is determined that the actual Regular Interest Rate applicable to the Interest Period following the Interest Period in which such prepayment occurs is greater than the Assumed Note Rate, Borrower shall promptly pay to Lender, without additional interest or other late charges or penalties (and in no event later than the 9th day of the following month) an amount equal to the difference between the interest paid by Borrower for the Interest Period following the Interest Period in which such prepayment occurs on the prepaid amount calculated at the Assumed Note Rate and the amount of interest for said Interest Period calculated at the actual Regular Interest Rate.
          2.3.2 Mandatory Prepayments. On each date on which Borrower actually receives any Net Proceeds, if Lender is not obligated to make such Net Proceeds available to Borrower for the restoration of the Property, Borrower shall prepay the outstanding principal balance of the Note in an amount equal to one hundred percent (100%) of such Net Proceeds. No Spread Maintenance Premium shall be due in connection with any prepayment made pursuant to this Section 2.3.2. The amount of such prepayment in excess of that required to pay the Debt in full shall be promptly remitted to Borrower. Any partial prepayment under this Section shall be applied to the last payments of principal due under the Loan.
          2.3.3 Prepayments After Default. If, prior to the Prepayment Release Date and following an Event of Default, payment of all or any part of the Debt is tendered by Borrower or otherwise recovered by Lender, Borrower shall pay to Lender, in addition to the Debt, an amount equal to the Spread Maintenance Premium.
          Section 2.4 Release of Property. Except as set forth in this Section 2.4, no repayment or prepayment of all or any portion of the Note shall cause, give rise to a right to require, or otherwise result in, the release of any Lien of the Mortgage on the Property. Lender shall, upon the written request and at the expense of Borrower, upon payment in full of all principal and interest 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 or assign (without recourse, representation or warranty) the Liens of the Mortgage on the Property.

          (o) if such entity is a limited liability company with only one economic member, is a limited liability company organized in the State of Delaware that has (i) one economic member, and (ii) at least two Independent Members and has not caused or allowed and will not cause or allow the board of managers, if any, of such entity to take any action requiring the unanimous affirmative vote of one hundred percent (100%) of the members unless two Independent Members shall have participated in such vote.
          (p) if such entity is a limited liability company, has articles of organization, a certificate of formation and/or an operating agreement, provide that such entity will not: (A) dissolve, merge, liquidate, consolidate; (B) so long as the Loan is outstanding, sell all or substantially all of its assets or the assets of the Borrower (as applicable) unless the Loan is repaid simultaneously with such sale, in each case in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Loan Documents; (C) engage in any other business activity, or amend its organizational documents with respect to the matters set forth in this definition without the consent of the Lender, so long as the Loan is outstanding; or (D) without the affirmative vote of two Independent Members and of all other managers of the Borrower (if any), file a bankruptcy or insolvency petition or otherwise institute insolvency proceedings with respect to itself or to any other entity in which it has a direct or indirect legal or beneficial ownership interest.

A natural person who satisfies the foregoing definition other than subparagraph (ii) shall not be disqualified from serving as an Independent Member of the Borrower if such individual is an Independent Member provided by a nationally-recognized company that provides professional independent members or managers (a “Professional Independent Manager”) and other corporate services in the ordinary course of its business. A natural person who otherwise satisfies the foregoing definition other than subparagraph (i) by reason of being the independent director, member or manager of a “special purpose entity” affiliated with the Borrower shall not be disqualified from serving as an Independent Member of the Borrower if such individual is either (x) a Professional Independent Manager or (y) the fees that such individual earns from serving as independent manager or independent member of affiliates of the Borrower in any given year constitute in the aggregate less than five percent (5%) of such individual’s annual income for that year. Notwithstanding the immediately preceding sentence, an Independent Member may not simultaneously serve as Independent Member of the Borrower and independent manager, member or director of a special purpose entity that owns a direct or indirect equity interest in the Borrower or a direct or indirect interest in any co-borrower with the Borrower.

          (t) Borrower shall conduct its business so that the assumptions made with respect to Borrower in the Insolvency Opinion shall be true and correct in all material respects.
          4.1.31 Management Agreement. The Management Agreement is in full force and effect and, to Borrower’s knowledge, there is no default thereunder by any party thereto and no event has occurred that, with the passage of time and/or the giving of notice would constitute a default thereunder.
          4.1.32 Illegal Activity. No portion of the Property has been or will be purchased with proceeds of any illegal activity.
          4.1.33 No Change in Facts or Circumstances; Disclosure. All statements of fact in information submitted by Borrower to Lender and in all financial statements, rent rolls, reports, certificates and other documents submitted in connection with the Loan or in satisfaction of the terms thereof and all statements of fact made by Borrower in this Agreement or in any other Loan Document, are accurate, complete and correct in all material respects. There has

-42-


 

been no material adverse change in any condition, fact, circumstance or event that would make any such information inaccurate, incomplete or otherwise misleading and result in a Material Adverse Effect. Borrower has disclosed to Lender all material facts and has not failed to disclose any material fact that could cause any representation or warranty made herein to be materially misleading.
          4.1.34 Anti-Terrorism. (a) Neither Borrower nor Sponsor is in violation of any Legal Requirements, including Executive Order No. 13224 on Terrorist Financing, effective September 24, 2001 and relating to Blocking Property and Prohibiting Transactions With Persons Who Commit, Threaten to Commit, or Support Terrorism, (the “Executive Order”) and the Uniting and Strengthening America by Providing Appropriate Tools Required to Intercept and Obstruct Terrorism Act of 2001 (Public Law 107-56, the “Patriot Act”).

          Section 4.2 Survival of Representations. Borrower agrees that all of the representations and warranties of Borrower set forth in Section 4.1 and elsewhere in this Agreement and in the other Loan Documents shall survive for so long as any amount remains owing to Lender under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents by Borrower. All representations, warranties, covenants and agreements made in this Agreement or in the other Loan Documents by Borrower shall be deemed to have been relied upon by Lender notwithstanding any investigation heretofore or hereafter made by Lender or on its behalf.
V. BORROWER COVENANTS
          Section 5.1 Affirmative Covenants. From the date hereof 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 Mortgage (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; Insurance. To the extent necessary to avoid a Material Adverse Effect, Borrower shall do or cause to be done all things necessary to preserve, renew and keep in full force and effect its existence, rights, licenses, permits and franchises and comply with all Legal Requirements applicable to it and the Property.

To the extent necessary to avoid a

-43-


 

Material Adverse Effect, Borrower shall at all times maintain, preserve and protect all franchises and trade names and preserve all the remainder of its property used in the conduct of its business and shall 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 shall keep the Property insured in accordance with this Agreement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein Borrower may, at its own expense, contest the validity of a Lien or Legal Requirements by appropriate legal proceeding so long as such legal proceeding is promptly initiated and conducted in good faith with due diligence and provided that (i) no Event of Default exists; (ii) such proceeding is conducted in accordance with any instrument to which Borrower or the Property is subject and does not constitute a default thereunder; and (iii) Borrower furnishes to Lender all information or security as may be reasonably requested by Lender in connection with such legal proceeding.
          5.1.2 Taxes and Other Charges. Borrower shall pay all Taxes and Other Charges now or hereafter levied or assessed or imposed against the Property or any part thereof prior to the date such amounts become subject to interest and penalties; provided, however, Borrower’s obligation to directly pay Taxes shall be suspended for so long as Borrower complies with the terms and provisions of Section 7.2 hereof (including, without limitation, in connection with the exercise of Borrower’s right to contest the validity or the amount of Taxes in accordance with the terms and provisions hereof). Promptly upon request, Borrower will deliver or cause to be delivered to Lender receipts for payment or other evidence satisfactory to Lender that the Taxes and Other Charges have been so paid or are not then delinquent (provided, however, that Borrower is not required to furnish such receipts for payment of Taxes in the event that such Taxes have been paid by Lender pursuant to Section 7.2 hereof). Subject to Borrower’s right to contest hereunder, Borrower shall not suffer and shall promptly cause to be paid, discharged or bonded any Lien or charge whatsoever which may be or become a Lien or charge against the Property, and shall promptly pay for all utility services provided to the Property (unless the obligation is to be paid by Lender pursuant to Section 7.2 hereof). After prior written notice to Lender, Borrower, at its own expense, may 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 (i) no Event of Default has occurred and remains uncured; (ii) such proceeding shall be conducted in accordance with all applicable statutes, laws and ordinances; (iii) neither the Property nor any part thereof or interest therein will be in danger of being sold, forfeited, terminated, cancelled or lost; (iv) Borrower shall promptly upon final determination thereof (not subject to further appeal) pay the amount of any such Taxes or Other Charges, together with all costs, interest and penalties which may be payable in connection therewith; (v) such proceeding shall suspend the collection of such contested Taxes or Other Charges from the Property; and (vi) Borrower shall furnish such security as may be required in the proceeding, or as may be reasonably requested by Lender, to insure the payment of any such Taxes or Other Charges, together with all interest and penalties thereon. 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 reasonable judgment of Lender, the entitlement of such claimant is established and the Property is in imminent danger of being sold, forfeited or lost.

All reasonable costs and expenses incurred by Lender in connection with making the Net Proceeds available for the Restoration including, without limitation, reasonable counsel fees and disbursements and the Casualty Consultant’s fees, shall be paid by Borrower.
     (iv) With respect to any Restoration that equals or exceeds the Restoration Threshold Amount, in no event shall Lender be obligated to make disbursements of the Net Proceeds in excess of an amount equal to the costs actually incurred from time to time for work in place as part of the Restoration, as certified by the Casualty Consultant, minus the Casualty Retainage. The term “Casualty Retainage” shall mean an amount equal to (x) if 50% or less of the Restoration has been completed, ten percent (10%) of the costs actually incurred for work in place as part of the Restoration, as certified by the Casualty Consultant, or (y) if more than 50% of the Restoration has been completed, five percent (5%) of the costs actually incurred for work in place as part of the Restoration, as certified by the Casualty Consultant, until the Restoration has been completed. The Casualty Retainage shall in no event, and notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth above in this Section 6.4(b), be less than the amount actually held back by Borrower from contractors, subcontractors and materialmen engaged in the Restoration. The Casualty Retainage shall not be released until the Casualty Consultant certifies to Lender that the Restoration has been completed in accordance with the provisions of this Section 6.4(b) and that all approvals necessary for the re-occupancy and use of the Property have been obtained from all appropriate governmental and quasi-governmental authorities, and Lender receives evidence reasonably satisfactory to Lender that the costs of the Restoration have been paid in full or will be paid in full out of the Casualty Retainage; provided, however, that Lender will release the portion of the Casualty Retainage being held with respect to any contractor, subcontractor or materialman engaged in the Restoration as of the date upon which the Casualty Consultant certifies to Lender that the contractor, subcontractor or materialman has satisfactorily completed all work and has supplied all materials in accordance with the provisions of the contractor’s, subcontractor’s or materialman’s contract, the contractor, subcontractor or materialman delivers the lien waivers and evidence of payment in full of all sums due to the contractor, subcontractor or materialman as may be reasonably requested by Lender or by the title company issuing the Title Insurance Policy, and Lender receives an endorsement to the Title Insurance Policy insuring the continued priority of the lien of the Mortgage and evidence of payment of any premium payable for such endorsement. If required by Lender, the release of any such portion of the Casualty Retainage shall be approved by the surety company, if any, which has issued a payment or performance bond with respect to the contractor, subcontractor or materialman.
     (v) Lender shall not be obligated to make disbursements of the Net Proceeds more frequently than twice every calendar month.
     (vi) With respect to any Restoration that equals or exceeds the Restoration Threshold Amount, if at any time the Net Proceeds or the undisbursed balance thereof shall not, in the reasonable opinion of Lender in consultation with the Casualty Consultant, be sufficient to pay in full the balance of the costs which are estimated by the

-63-


 

Casualty Consultant to be incurred in connection with the completion of the Restoration, Borrower shall deposit the deficiency (the “Net Proceeds Deficiency”) with Lender before any further disbursement of the Net Proceeds shall be made. The Net Proceeds Deficiency deposited with Lender shall be held by Lender and shall be disbursed for costs actually incurred in connection with the Restoration on the same conditions applicable to the disbursement of the Net Proceeds, and until so disbursed pursuant to this Section 6.4(b) shall constitute additional security for the Debt and other obligations under the Loan Documents.
     (vii) The excess, if any, of the Net Proceeds and the remaining balance, if any, of the Net Proceeds Deficiency deposited with Lender after the Casualty Consultant certifies to Lender that the Restoration has been completed in accordance with the provisions of this Section 6.4(b), and the receipt by Lender of evidence reasonably satisfactory to Lender that all costs incurred in connection with the Restoration have been paid in full, shall be remitted by Lender to Borrower, provided no Event of Default shall have occurred and shall be continuing under the Note, this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents.
          (c) All Net Proceeds not required (i) to be made available for the Restoration or (ii) to be returned to Borrower as excess Net Proceeds pursuant to Section 6.4(b)(vii) may be retained and applied by Lender toward the payment of the Debt whether or not then due and payable in such order, priority and proportions as Lender in its sole discretion shall deem proper, or, at the discretion of Lender, the same may be paid, either in whole or in part, to Borrower for such purposes as Lender shall designate, in its discretion.
          (d) In the event of foreclosure of the Mortgage with respect to the Property, or other transfer of title to the Property in extinguishment in whole or in part of the Debt all right, title and interest of Borrower in and to the Policies that are not blanket Policies then in force concerning the Property and all proceeds payable thereunder shall thereupon vest in the purchaser at such foreclosure or Lender or other transferee in the event of such other transfer of title.

Lender shall direct Agent to disburse to Borrower the Required Repair Funds upon satisfaction by Borrower of each of the following conditions: (a) Borrower shall submit a request for payment to Lender at least ten (10) days prior to the date on which Borrower requests such payment be made and specifies the

-64-


 

Required Repairs to be paid, (b) on the date such request is received by Lender and on the date such payment is to be made, no Event of Default shall exist and remain uncured, and (c) Lender shall have received a certificate from Borrower (i) 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 Legal Requirements, such certificate to be accompanied by a copy of any license, permit or other approval by any Governmental Authority required in connection with the Required Repairs and/or such other documentation as Lender may reasonably request of lawful and workmanlike progress or completion, (ii) identifying each Person that supplied materials or labor in connection with the Required Repairs to be funded by the requested disbursement, and (iii) stating that each such Person has been paid in full or will be paid in full upon such disbursement, such certificate to be accompanied by lien waivers or other evidence of payment satisfactory to Lender. Lender shall not be required to disburse Required Repair Funds more frequently than once each calendar month, unless such requested disbursement is in an amount greater than $25,000 (or a lesser amount if the total Required Repair Funds is less than $25,000, in which case only one disbursement of the amount remaining in the account shall be made).
          Section 7.2 Tax and Insurance Escrow Fund. (a) (i) Borrower shall deposit with Lender on each Payment Date one-twelfth (1/12) of the Taxes that will be payable during the next ensuing twelve (12) months in order to accumulate sufficient funds to pay all such Taxes at least thirty (30) days prior to their respective due dates, and (ii) on the first Payment Date in a Cash Management Period and on each subsequent Payment Date during the continuance of the Cash Management Period, Borrower shall, subject to the terms of the Management Agreement, deposit with Lender one-twelfth (1/12) of the Insurance Premiums that Lender reasonably 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 (said amounts in (i) and (ii) above hereinafter called the “Tax and Insurance Escrow Fund”). The Tax and Insurance Escrow Fund and the payments of interest or principal or both, payable pursuant to the Note, shall be added together and shall be paid as an aggregate sum by Borrower to Lender. Lender will apply the Tax and Insurance Escrow Fund to payments of Taxes and Insurance Premiums required to be made by Borrower pursuant to Section 5.1.2 hereof and under the Mortgage. In making any payment relating to the Tax and Insurance Escrow Fund, 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 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 Fund 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 Fund. Any amount remaining in the Tax and Insurance Escrow Fund after the Debt has been paid in full shall be returned to Borrower. If, at any time with respect to Taxes, or, during the continuance of a Cash Management Period with respect to Insurance Premiums, Lender reasonably determines that the Tax and Insurance Escrow Fund is not or will not be sufficient to pay Taxes and Insurance Premiums by the dates set forth in (i) and (ii) above, Lender shall notify Borrower of such determination and Borrower shall increase its monthly payments to Lender by the amount is sufficient to make up the deficiency at least thirty (30) days prior to delinquency of the Taxes

-65-


 

and/or thirty (30) days prior to expiration of the Policies, as the case may be. Upon the termination of a Cash Management Period, any amounts remaining in the Tax and Insurance Escrow Fund which are allocable to the payment of Insurance Premiums (but not with respect to amounts in the Tax and Insurance Escrow Fund which are allocable to the payment of Taxes), shall be returned to Borrower. The amounts in the Tax and Insurance Escrow Fund which are allocable to the payment of Insurance Premiums shall be, at the time of determination, the lesser of (x) the aggregate amount of the amount of each payment into the Tax and Insurance Escrow Fund which has been allocated to the payment of Insurance Premiums, or (y) the positive difference between (1) the total amount of funds on deposit in the Tax and Insurance Escrow Fund and (2) the amount Lender estimates will be sufficient to pay the Taxes at least thirty (30) days prior to their respective due dates, less the amount of any anticipated future monthly payments into the Tax and Insurance Escrow prior to the payment of such Taxes which would be allocated to the payment of Taxes (as opposed to being allocated to the payment of Insurance Premiums).
          (b) Notwithstanding the foregoing Section 7.2(a), Borrower shall not be required to make deposits described in Subsection 7.2(a)(ii) above, provided Borrower delivers, throughout the term of the Loan, evidence reasonably satisfactory to Lender that all Insurance Premiums required to be made by Borrower pursuant to Section 5.1.2 hereof have been paid under Sponsor’s blanket insurance policy covering the Property.

Amounts so deposited shall hereinafter be referred to as Borrower’s “FF&E Reserve Fund” and the account in which such amounts are held shall hereinafter be referred to as Borrower’s “FF&E Reserve Account”. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Borrower shall not be obligated to make the FF&E Reserve Monthly Deposit required to be made hereunder unless and until the occurrence, and during the continuance of, a Cash Management Period, provided (i) that Borrower submits to Lender, on a quarterly basis, a certificate setting forth the type and cost of FF&E Replacements that were made at the Property during the immediately preceding calendar quarter and (ii) that Borrower, on a semi-annual basis delivers to Lender receipts for payment or other documentary evidence reasonably satisfactory to Lender (x) that Borrower has spent at least the Required FF&E Amount for the FF&E Replacements at the Property during the immediately preceding calendar year or (y) that Borrower has deposited into the FF&E Reserve Account the amount equal to the difference between the Required FF&E Amount and the amount spent for the FF&E Replacements at the Property during the immediately preceding calendar year.

Borrower shall complete or cause to be completed all FF&E Replacements in a good and workmanlike manner as soon as practicable following the commencement of performing such FF&E Replacements.
          (b) Following the occurrence of and during the continuation of an Event of Default, Borrower grants Lender the right to enter onto the Property and perform any and all work and labor necessary to complete or perform such FF&E Replacements and/or employ watchmen to protect the Property from damage. All sums so expended by Lender, to the extent not from the FF&E Reserve Fund, shall be deemed to have been advanced under the Loan to Borrower and secured by the Mortgage. For this purpose, Borrower constitutes and appoints Lender its true and lawful attorney-in-fact with full power of substitution to complete or undertake such FF&E Replacements in the name of Borrower.

Lender may require that such inspection be conducted by an appropriate independent qualified professional selected by Lender and/or may require a copy of a certificate of completion by an independent qualified professional acceptable to Lender prior to the disbursement of any amounts from the FF&E Reserve Account. Borrower shall pay the reasonable expense of the inspection as required hereunder, whether such inspection is conducted by Lender or by an independent qualified professional.

          (g) Provided such disbursement will exceed $100,000, before each disbursement from the FF&E Reserve Account, Lender may require Borrower to provide Lender with a search of title to the applicable Individual Property effective to the date of the disbursement, which search shows that no mechanic’s or materialmen’s liens or other liens of any nature have been placed against the Property since the date of recordation of the related Individual Mortgage and that title to the Property is free and clear of all Liens (other than the lien of the Mortgage, the Permitted Encumbrances, the Liens which are being contested in good faith and with due diligence as required by the terms hereof and any other Liens previously approved in writing by Lender, if any).

Any such actions taken by Lender shall be cumulative and concurrent and may be pursued independently, singly, 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 is not 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 Debt has been paid in full.
          (b) With respect to Borrower and the Property, nothing contained herein or in any other Loan Document shall be construed as requiring Lender to resort to the Property for the satisfaction of any of the Debt in preference or priority to the Property, and Lender may seek satisfaction out of all of the Property or any part thereof, in its absolute discretion in respect of the Debt. In addition, during the continuance of an Event of Default, Lender shall have the right from time to time to partially foreclose the Mortgage in any manner and for any amounts secured

-73-


 

by the Mortgage then due and payable as determined by Lender in its sole discretion including, without limitation, the following circumstances: (i) in the event Borrower defaults beyond any applicable grace period in the payment of one or more scheduled payments of principal and interest, Lender may foreclose the Mortgage to recover such delinquent payments, or (ii) in the event Lender elects to accelerate less than the entire outstanding principal balance of the Loan, Lender may foreclose the Mortgage to recover so much of the principal balance of the Loan as Lender may accelerate and such other sums secured by the Mortgage as Lender may elect. Notwithstanding one or more partial foreclosures, the Property shall remain subject to the Mortgage to secure payment of sums secured by the Mortgage and not previously recovered.
          (c) Upon the request of Lender (or its nominees and successors and assigns) in connection with a foreclosure, deed in lieu of foreclosure of other acquisition of the Property or any part thereof resulting from an Event of Default, Borrower shall, and shall cause the Hotel Operator and Manager to, cooperate with Lender (and its nominees and successors and assigns) in (i) the transfer to Lender (or such nominee, successor or assign) of any licenses and permits (including without limitation liquor licenses) necessary or appropriate for the operation of the Property; (ii) the obtaining by Lender (or such nominee, successor or assign) of any licenses and permits (including without limitation liquor licenses) necessary or appropriate for the operation of the Property; and (iii) the continuation by Borrower, Hotel Operator and Manager, as applicable, of any existing licenses and permits (including without limitation liquor licenses) and/or arrangements for liquor sales and service to be conducted by third party venders, under catering licenses or otherwise, until new licenses and permits are obtained.
          (d) Lender shall have the right from time to time to sever the Note and the other Loan Documents into one or more separate notes, mortgages and other security documents (the “Severed Loan Documents”) in such denominations as Lender shall determine in its sole discretion for purposes of evidencing and enforcing its rights and remedies provided hereunder. Borrower shall execute and deliver to Lender from time to time, promptly after the request of Lender, a severance agreement and such other documents as Lender shall reasonably request in order to effect the severance described in the preceding sentence, all in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Lender. 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 the aforesaid severance, Borrower ratifying all that its said attorney shall do by virtue thereof; provided, however, Lender shall not make or execute any such documents under such power until five (5) Business Days after notice has been given to Borrower by Lender of Lender’s intent to exercise its rights under such power. Except as may be required in connection with a securitization pursuant to Section 9.1 hereof, (i) Borrower shall not be obligated to pay any costs or expenses incurred in connection with the preparation, execution, recording or filing of the Severed Loan Documents, (ii) the Severed Loan Documents shall not contain any representations, warranties or covenants not contained in the Loan Documents and any such representations and warranties contained in the Severed Loan Documents will be given by Borrower only as of the Closing Date, and (iii) the Severed Loan Documents shall not increase Borrower’s obligations or decrease its rights hereunder.
          Section 8.3 Remedies Cumulative; Waivers. 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

-74-


 

the other Loan Documents, or existing at law or in equity or otherwise. Lender’s rights, powers and remedies may be pursued singly, concurrently or otherwise, at such time and in such order as Lender may determine in Lender’s sole discretion. No delay or omission to exercise any remedy, right or power accruing upon an Event of Default shall impair any such remedy, right or power or shall be construed as a waiver thereof, but any such remedy, right or power may be exercised from time to time and as 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.
          IX. SPECIAL PROVISIONS
          Section 9.1 Sale of Notes and Securitization.
          9.1.1 Cooperation. At the request of the holder of the Note and, to the extent not already required to be provided by Borrower under this Agreement, Borrower shall use reasonable efforts (at the sole cost and expense of Lender, including reimbursement of all out-of-pocket third party fees and reasonable expenses of Borrower) to satisfy the market standards to which the holder of the Note customarily adheres or which may be reasonably required in the marketplace or by the Rating Agencies in connection with the sale of the Note or participations therein or the first successful securitization (such sale and/or securitization, the “Securitization”) of rated single or multi-class securities (the “Securities”) secured by or evidencing ownership interests in the Note and the Mortgage, including, without limitation, to:
          (a) (i) provide such available or otherwise required under the Loan Documents financial and other information with respect to the Property, Borrower and the Manager, (ii) provide available or otherwise required under the Loan Documents budgets relating to the Property and (iii) to perform or permit or cause to be performed or permitted such site inspection, and furnish appraisals, market studies, environmental reviews and reports, and engineering reports of the Property, as may be reasonably requested by the holder of the Note or the Rating Agencies or as may be necessary or appropriate in connection with the Securitization (the “Provided Information”), it being understood and agreed by Borrower and Lender, however, that any such information regarding Guarantor shall remain confidential;
          (b) execute such amendments to the Loan Documents and organizational documents as may be reasonably requested by the holder of the Note or the Rating Agencies or otherwise to comply with Rating Agency Requirements to effect the Securitization; provided, however, that Borrower shall not be required to modify or amend any Loan Document if such modification or amendment would (i) change the interest rate, the stated maturity or the amortization of principal set forth in the Note, (ii) modify or amend any other material economic term of the Loan, or (iii) increase Borrower’s obligations under this Agreement or the other Loan Documents or decrease Borrower’s rights under this Agreement or the other Loan Documents; and provided further that the aggregate amount of the substitute notes shall (i) be no more than the then unpaid principal amount secured by the Mortgage, and (ii) contain terms, provisions and clauses (x) no less favorable to Borrower than those contained herein and in the Note, and (y) which do not increase Borrower’s obligations hereunder or decrease Borrower’s rights under the Loan Documents. If Lender redefines the interest rate, the amount of interest payable under

-75-


 

the severed notes, in the aggregate, shall at all times equal the amount of interest which would have been payable under the Note at the Regular Interest Rate.
          In cooperating with Lender’s requests for information and documentation required by Lender to complete any Securitization as set forth in this Agreement, neither Borrower nor any Guarantor shall: (1) incur any additional liability, (2) suffer any increased obligation or (3) diminish any of their respective rights under this Agreement of any other Loan Document.
          9.1.2 Loan Components. Borrower covenants and agrees that in connection with any Securitization of the Loan, upon Lender’s request Borrower shall deliver one or more new component notes to replace the original note or modify the original note to reflect multiple components of the Loan and modify the Cash Management Agreement in order to evidence the creation of the newly created components (and for no other purpose) such that the pricing and marketability of the Securities and the size of each class of Securities and the rating assigned to each such class by the Rating Agencies shall provide the most favorable rating levels and achieve the optimum bond execution for the Loan, provided, however, the monthly Debt Service Payment Amount shall not change, and substitute notes shall aggregate not more than the then unpaid principal amount secured by the Mortgage, and contain terms, provisions and clauses (x) no less favorable to Borrower than those contained herein and in the Note, and (y) which do not increase Borrower’s obligations hereunder or decrease Borrower’s rights under the Loan Documents. If Lender redefines the interest rate, the amount of interest payable under the severed notes taken, in the aggregate, shall at all times equal the amount of interest which would have been payable under the Note at the Regular Interest Rate.
          9.1.3 Securitization Costs. All costs and expenses incurred by Lender in connection with the Securitization and all reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred by Borrower in connection with Borrower’s complying with requests made under this Section 9.1 (including reasonable legal fees of Borrower’s counsel) shall be paid by Lender provided, however, that the foregoing shall not require Lender to pay or reimburse Borrower for any costs and expenses that Borrower would otherwise be required to pay or reimburse Lender for under any other provision of this Agreement in the event that no Securitization had occurred.
          9.1.4 Conversion of Loan and Creation of Subordinate Debt. Lender shall have the right, at Lender’s sole cost and expense, at any time prior to the final Securitization of the Loan to convert a portion thereof into subordinate financing, including, but not limited to, mezzanine debt, subordinate debt or participations in the Loan (collectively, the “Subordinate Loan”), provided that (i) the aggregate principal amount of the Loan and the Subordinate Loan on the date of such adjustment shall equal the aggregate outstanding principal balance of the Loan immediately prior to such adjustment, (ii) the Loan and the Subordinate Loan shall have a weighted average interest rate equal to the Regular Interest Rate immediately prior to such adjustment, and (iii) the other terms and provisions of the Loan and the Subordinate Loan shall substantially remain unchanged, except for changes which are customary with respect to Subordinate Loan financing. Borrower shall cooperate with all reasonable requests of Lender in connection with any such adjustment of the Loan and shall execute and deliver such documents as shall reasonably be required by Lender in connection therewith. All costs and expenses incurred by Lender in connection with this Section 9.1.4 and all reasonable out-of-pocket costs

-76-


 

and expenses incurred by Borrower in connection with Borrower’s complying with requests made under this Section 9.1.4 (including Borrower’s out-of-pocket legal expenses) shall be paid by Lender; provided, however, that the foregoing shall not require Lender to pay or reimburse Borrower for any costs and expenses that Borrower would otherwise be required to pay or reimburse Lender under any other provision of this Agreement in the event that no Securitization or Subordinate Loan had occurred, provided that such documents (including the documents evidencing the Subordinate Loan) shall contain terms, provisions and clauses (x) no less favorable to Borrower than those contained herein and in the Note, and (y) which do not increase Borrower’s obligations hereunder or decrease Borrower’s rights under the Loan Documents. If Lender redefines the interest rate, the amount of interest payable under the severed notes, in the aggregate, shall at all times equal the amount of interest which would have been payable under the Note at the Regular Interest Rate.
          Section 9.2 Securitization Indemnification. (a) Borrower understands that certain of the Provided Information may be included in disclosure documents in connection with the Securitization, including, without limitation, a prospectus, prospectus supplement or private placement memorandum (each, a “Disclosure Document”) 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 the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange 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 all current available information or otherwise required under the Loan Documents necessary to keep the Disclosure Document accurate and complete in all material respects.
          (b) Upon Lender’s request, Borrower agrees to provide in connection with each of (i) a preliminary and a final private placement memorandum or (ii) a preliminary and final prospectus or prospectus supplement, as applicable, an indemnification certificate (A) certifying that Borrower has carefully examined such memorandum or prospectus, as applicable, specifically pertaining to Borrower, the Property and/or the Loan, and that such portions do not 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, (B) indemnifying, with respect to the final private placement memorandum or final prospectus (or the final private placement memorandum or final prospectus as supplemented), as applicable, Lender (and for purposes of this Section 9.2, Lender hereunder shall include its officers and directors), the Affiliate of Greenwich Capital Markets, Inc. (“Greenwich”) that has filed the registration statement relating to the Securitization (the “Registration Statement”), each of its directors, each of its officers who have signed the Registration Statement and each Person or entity who controls the Affiliate within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act (collectively, the “Greenwich Group”), and Greenwich, each of its directors and each Person who controls Greenwich within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act and Section 20 of the Exchange Act (collectively, the “Underwriter Group”) for any losses, claims, damages or liabilities but excluding any lost profits, diminution in value and consequential damages (collectively, the “Liabilities”) to which Lender, the Greenwich Group or the Underwriter Group

-77-


 

may become subject insofar as the Liabilities arise out of or are based upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of any material fact contained in the portions of the disclosure document specifically pertaining to Borrower, the Property and/or the Loan (provided such portions have been reviewed and approved by Borrower) or arise out of or are based upon the omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated in such sections (provided Borrower has examined and approved such portions) or necessary in order to make the statements in such sections or in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading and (C) agreeing to reimburse Lender, the Greenwich Group and the Underwriter Group for any reasonable legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by Lender and Greenwich in connection with investigating or defending the Liabilities; provided, however, that Borrower will be liable only to the extent that any such loss, claim, damage or liability arises out of or is based upon any such untrue statement or omission made therein in reliance upon and in conformity with information furnished to Lender by or on behalf of Borrower in connection with the preparation of the memorandum or prospectus or in connection with the underwriting of the debt, including, without limitation, financial statements of Borrower, operating statements, rent rolls, environmental site assessment reports and property condition reports with respect to the Property (except that (x) Borrower’s obligations to indemnify in respect of any information contained in a preliminary or final private placement memorandum or a preliminary or final prospectus that is derived in part from information provided by Borrower and in part from information provided by others, Borrower’s indemnification shall be limited to any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement therein or omission therefrom that results from information provided by Borrower which Borrower has been given an opportunity to examine and approve, and (y) Borrower shall have no responsibility for the failure of Lender (or its agents) to accurately transcribe written information supplied by Borrower). This indemnity agreement will be in addition to any liability which Borrower may otherwise have. Moreover, the indemnification provided for in clauses (B) and (C) above shall be effective whether or not an indemnification certificate described in (A) above is provided and shall be applicable based on information previously provided by Borrower or its Affiliates if Borrower does not provide the indemnification certificate. It is agreed that Lender shall specify the information in the aforementioned memorandum or prospectus covered by such certificate. In addition, it is agreed that such certificate may state that it expresses no conclusion, with respect to a prospectus required to be filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”), as to the necessity of including information in such prospectus or the proper presentation of any information included therein to comply with the technical requirements imposed by regulation or SEC staff interpretations under the Securities Act relating to the information required to be included by the form of the registration statement to be filed. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary 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 Lender, the Greenwich Group or the Underwriter Group (the “Indemnified Member”) 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

-78-


 

placement memorandum or final prospectus (or the final private placement memorandum or final prospectus as supplemented).
          (c) In connection with filings under the Exchange Act, Borrower agrees to indemnify (i) Lender, the Greenwich Group and the Underwriter Group for Liabilities to which Lender, the Greenwich Group or the Underwriter Group may become subject insofar as the Liabilities arise out of or are based upon the omission or alleged omission to state in the Provided Information (which is used in such filing and which Borrower has had an opportunity to examine and approve) a material fact required to be stated in order to make the statements in the Provided Information, in light of the circumstances under which they were made not misleading and (ii) reimburse Lender, the Greenwich Group or the Underwriter Group for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by Lender, the Greenwich Group or the Underwriter Group in connection with defending or investigating the Liabilities only in the event that it shall be determined that there was such an omission.
          (d) Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party under this Section 9.2 of notice of the commencement of any action, such indemnified party will, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against the indemnifying party under this Section 9.2, notify the indemnifying party in writing of the commencement thereof, but the omission to so notify the indemnifying party will not relieve the indemnifying party from any liability which the indemnifying party may have to any indemnified party hereunder except to the extent that failure to notify causes prejudice to the indemnifying party. In the event that any action is brought against any indemnified party, and it notifies the indemnifying party of the commencement thereof, the indemnifying party will be entitled, jointly with any other indemnifying party, to participate therein and, to the extent that it (or they) may elect by written notice delivered to the indemnified party promptly after receiving the aforesaid notice from such indemnified party, to assume the defense thereof with counsel reasonably satisfactory to such indemnified party and shall have the right to negotiate and enter into and/or consent to any settlement, subject to the prior approval of Lender and, if different, the Indemnified Member, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld provided that such approval is not required in connection with any settlement which includes any unconditional release of all Indemnified Members involved in such action and all related actions for all liability for which such parties are seeking indemnification and there is no admission of wrongdoing on the part of any Indemnified Member. After notice from the indemnifying party to such indemnified party under this Section 9.2 the indemnifying party shall not be responsible for any legal or other expenses subsequently incurred by such indemnified party in connection with the defense thereof other than reasonable costs of investigation; provided, however, if the defendants in any such action include both the indemnified party and the indemnifying party and the indemnified party shall have reasonably concluded that there are any legal defenses available to it and/or other indemnified parties that are different from or additional to those available to the indemnifying party, the indemnified party or parties 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 party to parties. The indemnifying party shall not be liable for the expenses of more than one such separate counsel unless an indemnified party shall have reasonably concluded that there may be legal defenses available to it that are different from or additional to those available to another indemnified party. If Borrower has assumed the defense of any action brought against any Indemnified Member, then such Indemnified Member shall not settle such action without the

-79-


 

consent of Borrower, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the indemnifying party shall not be responsible for defending any action in which a final determination is made concluding that there was such an omission.
          (e) In order to provide for just and equitable contribution in circumstances in which the indemnity agreements provided for in Section 9.2(b) or (c) is or are for any reason held to be unenforceable by an indemnified party in respect of any losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or action in respect thereof) referred to therein which would otherwise be indemnifiable under Section 9.2(b) or (c) the indemnifying party shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by the indemnified party as a result of such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or action in respect thereof); provided, however, that no Person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 1l(f) of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any Person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation. In determining the amount of contribution to which the respective parties are entitled, the following factors shall be considered: (i) Greenwich’s and Borrower’s relative knowledge and access to information concerning the matter with respect to which claim was asserted; (ii) the opportunity to correct and prevent any statement or omission; and (iii) any other equitable considerations appropriate in the circumstances. Lender and Borrower hereby agree that it would not be equitable if the amount of such contribution were determined by pro rata or per capita allocation.
          (f) The liabilities and obligations of both Borrower and Lender under this Section 9.2 shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the satisfaction and discharge of the Debt.
          Section 9.3 Lender ERISA Representations and Covenants.
          (a) As of the date hereof and for so long as Lender is holder of all or part of the Loan (i) Lender is not an “employee benefit plan,” as defined in Section 3(3) of ERISA, subject to Title I of ERISA, or a plan described in Section 4975(e)(l) of the Code, subject to Section 4975 of the Code, (ii) none of the assets of Lender constitutes “plan assets” of one or more such plans within the meaning of 29 C.F.R. Section 2510.3-101, (iii) Lender is not a “governmental plan” within the meaning of Section 3(32) of ERISA, and (iv) Lender is not in violation of any state statute regulating investment of, and fiduciary obligations with respect to, governmental plans similar to the provisions of Section 406 of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code currently in effect (“Applicable State Law”), which prohibit or otherwise restrict the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.
          (b) With respect to transfers of an interest in the Loan by Lender to a third party (a “Purchaser”), Lender shall:
     (i) obtain from such Purchaser a covenant essentially the same as this covenant Section 9.3(b) and either (A) a representation essentially the same as the covenant set forth in Section 9.3(a) above (but substituting the term “Purchaser” for the term “Lender” therein) or (B) a representation providing reasonable assurance that the transfer of the interest in the Loan and the holding by Purchaser of such interest for so long as Purchaser holds such interest are exempt from or otherwise not prohibited under Section 406 of ERISA, Section 4975 of the Code and Applicable State Law; or

-80-


 

     (ii) transfer such interest through the sale of the Loan to a trust or other entity which would issue securities (A) structured in such manner as Lender reasonably believes to be covered under an administrative or other exemption from Section 406 of ERISA, Section 4975 of the Code and Applicable State Law which, if the securities are “equity securities” for this purpose, provides relief at least comparable to that provided by PTE 2002-41, or, if the securities are “debt” for this purpose, provides relief at least comparable to that provided by PTE 84-14, or (B) subject to appropriate transfer restrictions (which shall apply to the initial purchase as well as any subsequent transfer) comparable to clause (i) above applicable to any class of securities as to which no such exemption is available; provided, however, that the trustee for any such securitization shall not be required to make such covenants or representations as to itself.
          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 Mortgage or the other Loan Documents by any action or proceeding wherein a money judgment shall be sought against Borrower, Guarantor or any direct or indirect principal, director, officer, employee, beneficiary, shareholder, partner, member, Constituent Member, trustee, agent or affiliate of Borrower, Guarantor or any person owning, directly or indirectly, any legal or beneficial interest in Borrower, or Guarantor or any successors or assigns of any of the foregoing (collectively, the “Exculpated Parties”), 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 Mortgage and the other Loan Documents, or in the Property, the Rents, 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 Property, in the Rents and in any other collateral given to Lender, and Lender, by accepting the Note, this Agreement, the Mortgage and the other Loan Documents, agrees that it shall not sue for, seek or demand any deficiency judgment against Borrower or any of the Exculpated Parties in any such action or proceeding under or by reason of or under or in connection with the Note, this Agreement, the Mortgage 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 Mortgage; (c) affect the validity or enforceability of 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 the Mortgage or to commence any other appropriate action or proceeding in order for Lender to exercise its remedies against the Property; or (g) constitute a waiver of the right of Lender to enforce the liability and obligation of Borrower, by money judgment or otherwise, to the extent of any loss, damage, cost, expense, liability, claim or other obligation incurred by Lender (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs reasonably incurred but excluding any consequential damages) arising out of or in connection with the following:
     (i) fraud or intentional misrepresentation by Borrower or Hotel Operator in connection with the Loan;

     (ii) the breach of any representation, warranty, covenant or indemnification provision in the Environmental Indemnity or in the Mortgage concerning environmental laws, hazardous substances and asbestos and any indemnification of Lender with respect thereto in either document;
     (iii) to the extent proceeds received by Borrower or Hotel Operator, the misappropriation by Borrower or Hotel Operator in violation of an express provision in the Loan Documents of (A) any insurance proceeds paid by reason of any loss, damage or destruction to the Property, (B) any awards or other amounts received in connection with the Condemnation of all or a portion of the Property, (C) any Rents received following an Event of Default, or collected more than thirty (30) days in advance, or (D) any security deposits;

          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 Bankruptcy Code to file a claim for the full amount of the Debt secured by the Mortgage or to require that all collateral shall continue to secure all of the Debt owing to Lender in accordance with the Loan Documents, and (B) the Debt shall be fully recourse to Borrower in the event that: (i) Borrower fails to obtain Lender’s prior written consent to any Transfer of the Property as required by this Agreement; (ii) Borrower or Hotel Operator files a voluntary petition under the Bankruptcy Code or any other Federal or state bankruptcy or insolvency law; (iii) an Affiliate, officer, director, or representative which controls, directly or indirectly, Borrower or Hotel Operator files, or joins in the filing of, an involuntary collusive petition against Borrower or Hotel Operator under the Bankruptcy Code or any other Federal or state bankruptcy or insolvency law, or solicits or causes to be solicited petitioning creditors for any involuntary petition against Borrower from any Person; (iv) Borrower or Hotel Operator solicits or causes to be solicited petitioning creditors for any involuntary collusive petition from any Person; (v) any Affiliate, officer, director, or representative which controls Borrower or Hotel Operator joins in voluntary or involuntary collusive application for the appointment of a custodian, receiver, trustee, or examiner for Borrower, Hotel Operator or any portion of the Property (vi) Borrower or Hotel Operator makes a voluntary or involuntary collusive assignment for the benefit of creditors, or admits, in writing or in any legal proceeding, its insolvency or inability to pay its debts as they become due.
          Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement or any other Loan Document, and except for each Guarantor’s obligations under the Guaranty, no present or future Constituent Member in Borrower, nor any present or future shareholder, officer, director, employee, trustee, beneficiary, advisor, member, partner, principal, participant or agent of or in

-82-


 

Borrower or of or in any person or entity that is or becomes a Constituent Member in Borrower, shall have any personal liability, directly or indirectly, under or in connection with this Agreement or any of the Loan Documents, or any amendment or amendments to any of the foregoing made at any time or times, heretofore or hereafter, and Lender on behalf of itself and its successors and assigns, hereby waives any and all such personal liability. In addition, Lender, for itself and its successors and assigns, acknowledges and agrees that neither Borrower, nor any Constituent Member, nor any other party, is assuming any personal liability, directly or indirectly, under or in connection with any agreement, lease, instrument, claim or right constituting a part of the Property or to which the Property is now or hereafter subject.
          For purposes of this Agreement and each of the other Loan Documents, neither the negative capital account of any Constituent Member in Borrower nor any obligation of any Constituent Member in Borrower to restore a negative capital account or to contribute or loan capital to Borrower or to any other Constituent Member in Borrower shall at any time be deemed to be the property or an asset of Borrower (or any such other Constituent Member) and neither Lender nor any of its successors or assigns shall have any right to collect, enforce or proceed against with respect to any such negative capital account or obligation to restore, contribute or loan.
          Section 9.5 Termination of Manager. In the event that (a) an Event of Default shall have occurred or (b) Manager shall be adjudicated a bankrupt or insolvent, or if any petition for bankruptcy, reorganization or arrangement pursuant to federal bankruptcy law, or any similar federal or state law, shall be filed by or against, consented to, or acquiesced in by, Manager, Borrower shall, at the request of Lender, terminate the Management Agreement and replace the Manager with a Qualifying Manager (other than Manager), it being understood and agreed that the management fee for such replacement manager shall not exceed then prevailing market rates. Notwithstanding the foregoing, subsection (a) above shall only be applicable provided that a Management Termination Event shall have occurred.

Lender shall be responsible for any reasonable set-up fees or any other initial costs relating to or arising under the Servicing Agreement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, Lender shall endeavor (without liability for failure to do so) to provide Borrower with notification of any change in the entity servicing the Loan; provided that it shall not constitute an Event of Default hereunder if due to such failure Borrower sends any payments required to be made hereunder to the Lender or any predecessor entity servicing the Loan, and Lender shall provide Borrower with notification of any change in the interim servicing.

          (B) ANY LEGAL SUIT, ACTION OR PROCEEDING AGAINST LENDER OR BORROWER ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT MAY AT LENDER’S OPTION BE INSTITUTED IN ANY FEDERAL OR STATE COURT IN THE CITY OF NEW YORK, COUNTY OF NEW YORK, PURSUANT TO SECTION 5-1402 OF THE NEW YORK GENERAL OBLIGATIONS

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

          Section 10.7 Trial by Jury. BORROWER AND LENDER EACH HEREBY AGREES NOT TO ELECT A TRIAL BY JURY OF ANY ISSUE TRIABLE OF RIGHT BY JURY, AND WAIVES ANY RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY FULLY TO THE EXTENT THAT ANY SUCH RIGHT SHALL NOW OR HEREAFTER EXIST WITH REGARD TO THE LOAN DOCUMENTS, OR ANY CLAIM, COUNTERCLAIM OR OTHER ACTION ARISING IN CONNECTION THEREWITH.

LENDER IS HEREBY AUTHORIZED TO FILE A COPY OF THIS PARAGRAPH IN ANY PROCEEDING AS CONCLUSIVE EVIDENCE OF THIS WAIVER BY BORROWER AND LENDER.
          Section 10.8 Headings. The Article and/or Section headings and the Table of Contents in this Agreement are included herein for convenience of reference only and shall not constitute a part of this Agreement for any other purpose.
          Section 10.9 Severability. Wherever possible, each provision of this Agreement shall be interpreted in such manner as to be effective and valid under applicable law, but if any provision of this Agreement shall be prohibited by or invalid under applicable law, such provision shall be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or invalidity, without invalidating the remainder of such provision or the remaining provisions of this Agreement.
          Section 10.10 Preferences. Lender shall have the continuing and exclusive right to apply or reverse and reapply any and all payments by Borrower to any portion of the obligations of Borrower hereunder. 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.

-87-


 

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) 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; (iii) securing Borrower’s compliance with any requests made pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement; (iv) 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 Lien in favor of Lender pursuant to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents; (v) enforcing or preserving any rights, in response to third party claims or the prosecuting or defending of any action or proceeding or other litigation, in each case against, under or affecting Borrower, this Agreement, the other Loan Documents, the Property, or any other security given for the Loan; and (vi) 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. Any cost and expenses due and payable to Lender may be paid from any amounts in the 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 but excluding lost profits, diminution in value and consequential damages (including, without limitation, the reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel for Lender in connection with any investigative, administrative or judicial proceeding commenced or threatened (in writing), 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, 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. If Lender claims indemnification under this Section 10.13(b) Lender shall promptly notify Borrower of the nature and basis of the claim or legal or administrative proceeding giving rise to such claim or indemnification (each, an “Indemnified Claim”). After notice by Lender, Borrower shall defend Lender by attorneys and other professionals reasonably approved by Lender and shall have the right to negotiate and enter into and/or consent to any settlement, subject to the prior approval of Lender, such approval not be unreasonably withheld provided that such approval shall not be required in connection with

-88-


 

any settlement which includes any unconditional release of Lender and all related actions for all liability for which Lender is seeking indemnification and there is no admission of wrongdoing on the part of Lender. If Borrower has assumed the defense of any action brought against Lender, then Lender shall not settle such action without the consent of Borrower. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Lender may, engage its own attorneys and other professionals to defend or assist it in the event the defense as conducted by Borrower is not proceeding or being conducted in a satisfactory manner or that a conflict of interest exists between any of the parties represented by Borrower’s counsel in such action or proceeding; provided, however, (x) that so long as no Event of Default exists, Lender shall provide Borrower with fifteen (15) days prior written notice of any determination pursuant to this Section 10.13 (unless Lender determines, in its sole discretion, that its interest may be adversely affected prior to the expiration of such notice period, in which case, Lender may take immediate action and send written notice to Borrower thereafter); and (y) shall not enter into any settlement of such a proceeding without the consent of Borrower, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld.
          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 such unrelated offset, counterclaim or defense in any such action or proceeding is hereby expressly waived by Borrower.
          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 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 by Borrower 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, Greenwich, or any of their Affiliates shall be subject to the prior written approval of Lender.
          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, 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 Counterclaim. Borrower hereby waives the right to assert a counterclaim, other than a compulsory counterclaim, in any action or proceeding brought against it by Lender or its agents.
          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, other than Goldman Sachs & Co. and JMB Financial Advisors, 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 or Lender 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.

-90-


 

          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, including, without limitation, the term sheet dated as of November 1, 2006, are superseded by the terms of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.
          Section 10.23 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which when so executed and delivered shall be an original but all of which together shall constitute one and the same instrument.
