Upon the occurrence of any Event of Default, or any event or state of facts which with notice or passage of time or both would constitute an Event of Default, the obligation of Trustee to authorize any further disbursements of funds from the PIP Pledged Account and/or the FF&E Pledged Account shall terminate. Trustee may, at its option and without further notice or demand, thereupon declare the Note to be immediately due and payable in full, together with all interest accrued thereon. Upon such declaration, Trustee may proceed to exercise any and all remedies available to it under this Agreement, the other Loan Documents, or under applicable law, all of which rights and remedies shall be cumulative and may be exercised concurrently by Trustee.

 

Section 9.3. Completion of Renovations; FF&E. Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, Trustee may, in addition to any other remedies available to it and in its sole discretion, (a) enter upon the Property and (i) Complete (with funds from the PIP Pledged Account or otherwise) the Renovations in accordance with the Approved Renovation Budget and Attachment B to the Franchise Agreement with such changes therein or additions thereto as Trustee may deem appropriate, and employ watchmen to protect the Property and/or (ii) furnish and install (with funds from the FF&E Pledged Account or otherwise) FF&E in accordance with the Approval Annual Budget, (b) at any time discontinue any work commenced in respect of the Renovations and/or the FF&E, provided any such discontinuance of work under any contract in respect of the Renovations does not cause a default or breach under such contract, (c) assume the other contracts or purchase orders made by Borrower relating to the Renovations and/or the FF&E, and take over and use all or any part of the labor, materials, supplies and equipment contracted for by Borrower, and (d) engage builders, contractors, and others for the purpose of furnishing labor, materials and equipment in connection with the Renovations and/or the FF&E and to pay, settle or compromise all bills or claims that may become liens against the Property. Borrower shall be liable to Trustee for all sums paid or incurred by Trustee to Complete the Renovations and/or furnish and install the FF&E whether the same shall be paid or incurred pursuant to the provisions of this Section 9.3 or otherwise, and all payments made or liabilities incurred by Trustee hereunder of any kind whatsoever shall be paid by Borrower to Trustee upon demand with interest at the Default Rate provided in the Note. For the purpose of exercising the rights granted by this Section 9.3, Borrower hereby irrevocably constitutes and appoints Trustee its true and lawful attorney-in-fact to execute, acknowledge and deliver any instrument and to do and perform any acts in the name and on behalf of Borrower.

 

Section 9.4. No Remedy Exclusive. No remedy herein conferred upon or reserved to Trustee is intended to be exclusive of any other available remedy or remedies, but each and every such remedy shall be cumulative and shall be in addition to every other remedy given under this Agreement, the Indenture, the Assignment of Leases, or any of the other Loan Documents now or hereafter existing at law or in equity or by statute. No delay or omission to exercise any right or power accruing upon any default shall impair any such right or power or shall be construed to be a waiver thereof, but any such right and power may be exercised from time to time and as often as may be deemed expedient. In order to entitle Trustee to exercise any remedy reserved to it in this Article 9, it shall not be necessary to give any notice, other than such notice as may be herein expressly required.

 

54


Section 9.5. Advances by Trustee. If Borrower fails to make or cause to be made any payment, or fails to perform, observe or comply with any term or condition imposed on Borrower under this Agreement, or any of the Loan Documents, Trustee, without notice or demand upon Borrower, without waiving any default or releasing Borrower from any such default or failure to perform, and without being under any obligation to do so, may make such payment or perform any of Borrower’s obligations under any of the Loan Documents. All amounts so paid by Trustee and all costs, fees and expenses incurred by Trustee in connection with such payment or performance shall be due and payable by Borrower promptly upon written notice from Trustee, together with interest thereon from the date the same are paid or incurred until paid in full at the Default Rate, as defined in the Note. All such sums shall be secured by the Indenture and each of the other Loan Documents.

 

Section 9.6. Agreement to Pay Fees and Expenses. If Borrower fails to perform any of the provisions of this Agreement, and Trustee employs attorneys or incurs other expenses for the collection of amounts due hereunder or the enforcement of performance or observance of any obligation or agreement on the part of Borrower herein contained, Borrower agrees that it shall on demand therefor pay to Trustee the reasonable fees of such attorneys and such other reasonable expenses so incurred by Trustee.

 

Section 9.7. No Additional Waiver Implied by One Waiver. If any provision of this Agreement is breached by Borrower and thereafter waived by Trustee, such waiver shall be limited to the particular breach so waived and shall not be deemed to waive any other breach hereunder.

 

ARTICLE 10

 

MISCELLANEOUS

 

Section 10.1. Indemnification of Trustee. Borrower shall protect, indemnify, defend and save harmless Trustee and the Trust against and from any and all liabilities, suits, actions, claims, demands, losses, expenses and costs of every kind and nature (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) incurred by, or asserted or imposed against, Trustee or the Trust by reason of any accident, injury (including death) or damage to any person or property, however caused, resulting from, connected with or growing out of: (i) any act of commission or omission of Borrower, or any officers, employees, agents, assignees, contractors or subcontractors of Borrower, (ii) or the sale and/or issuance of ownership interests in Borrower, or (iii) any use, non-use, possession, occupation, condition, operation, service, design, construction, acquisition, offer, sale or lease of, maintenance or management of, or on, or in connection with, the Property, or any part thereof, by Borrower, or any officers, employees, agents, assignees, contractors or subcontractors of Borrower, and regardless of whether such liabilities, suits, actions, claims, demands, damages, losses, expenses and costs be against or be

 

55


suffered or sustained by the Trust or Trustee or its officers, agents or employees, or be against or be suffered or sustained by legal entities, officers, agents, or other persons to whom the Trust or Trustee or its officers, agents or employees become liable therefor. Borrower may, and if so requested by Trustee shall, undertake to defend, at its sole cost and expense, any and all suits, actions and proceedings brought against the Trust or Trustee or its officers, agents or employees in connection with any of the matters indemnified against in this Section 10.1. Trustee shall give Borrower every demand, notice, summons or other process received with respect to any claim or legal proceedings within the purview hereof, but the failure of the Trust or Trustee to give such notice shall not affect such right to indemnification. Any exculpation of Trustee or agreement by Borrower hereunder or under any of the other Loan Documents to indemnify, defend or hold harmless the Trust or Trustee shall apply equally to Trustee’s advisors and consultants, the respective successors and assigns of each of such persons, and the officers, directors, shareholders, employees and agents of each of such persons and their respective successors and assigns. This provisions shall survive repayment of the Loan and shall continue in full force and effect so long as a possibility of any such liability, claim or loss exists.

 

Section 10.2. Nonassignability. The Loan may not be assigned by Borrower without the prior written consent of Trustee. Neither the Loan nor any advances hereunder shall be subject to the process of any court upon legal action by or against Borrower, or by or against anyone claiming under or through Borrower. For the purposes of this Agreement, the Loan shall remain in the custody of Trustee until Borrower complies with each and all of the provisions hereof; provided, however, that nothing herein contained shall be considered as in any way modifying, affecting or subordinating the obligations heretofore undertaken or to be undertaken by Borrower as security for the Loan and the same shall be and remain in full force and effect, this Agreement being intended only as additional security and protection for the Loan and to assure its use for the purposes intended by Trustee and Borrower.

 

Section 10.3. Liability of Trustee.

 

10.3.1. All conditions of the obligations of Trustee hereunder, including any obligation to make the Loan proceeds available to Borrower, are imposed solely and exclusively for the benefit of Trustee and its successors and assigns, and no other person or entity shall have standing to require satisfaction of such conditions in accordance with their terms or be entitled to assume that Trustee will refuse to make the Loan proceeds available to Borrower in the absence of strict compliance with any and all thereof. No other person or entity shall, under any circumstances, be deemed to be a beneficiary of such conditions, any and all of which may be freely waived in whole or in part by Trustee at any time if in its discretion it deems it desirable to do so. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Trustee makes no representations and assumes no obligations as to third parties concerning the quality of the Renovations or the absence therefrom of any defects. Borrower agrees to indemnify Trustee from and against any liability, claim or loss arising during or after the term of the Loan which may be sustained or incurred by Trustee as a result of the performance of its activities and obligations under this Agreement, except that no such indemnification shall be required

 

56


in connection with any liability, claim or loss arising solely from the misconduct of Trustee. This provision shall survive repayment of the Loan and shall continue in full force and effect so long as a possibility of any such liability, claim or loss exists. Borrower hereby releases Trustee from any liability, and no claim shall be made by Borrower against Trustee, for or on account of any matter or thing in excess of the Amount of the Loan.

 

10.3.2. The Note is held, and this Agreement is entered into, by Trustee in its capacity as trustee of the Trust, and not in its corporate capacity or for its own account. Neither Trustee nor the officers, employees, or agents of Trustee shall be personally liable hereunder or under any other Loan Documents. Borrower and all others shall look solely to the assets of the Trust for the payment of any claim under the Loan Documents or arising from or otherwise in connection with the Loan or for the performance of any obligation, agreement, condition or term to be performed or observed in connection with the Loan hereunder or under any other Loan Documents; and any claim or judgment against the Trust shall be limited to the assets of the Trust and in no event shall Trustee, Advisor or any Participating Plan have any liability whatsoever with respect thereto.

 

10.3.3. Any exculpation of Trustee or agreement by Borrower hereunder or under any other Loan Document to indemnify, defend or hold harmless Trustee shall (i) apply equally to the Trust, Advisor, the Participating Plans, the officers, directors, employees and agents of each of them, and their respective successors and assigns, and (ii) survive repayment of the Loan.

 

Section 10.4. Authorized Borrower Representatives. Whenever under the provisions of this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents the approval of Borrower is required to take some action at the request of any party to this Agreement, such approval or request shall be given on behalf of Borrower by the Authorized Borrower Representative, and the other parties hereto are authorized to rely upon any such approval or request, and Borrower shall not have any complaint against such parties as a result of any such reliance. Borrower hereby designates as its Authorized Borrower Representative(s) the persons identified as such in Section 1.2 above. If the Authorized Borrower Representative should become unavailable or unable to take any action or make any certification provided for or required under this Agreement, a successor or successors shall be appointed by written certificate of Borrower furnished to the other parties hereto, executed on behalf of Borrower by an authorized agent of Borrower and containing a specimen signature of such successor or successors.

 

Section 10.5. Renovation Delays. Upon the occurrence of a Force Majeure Event, Borrower shall be permitted to delay the commencement of the Renovations or extend the Required Completion Date for so long as such Force Majeure Event is in effect; provided, however, that in no event shall such delay or extension exceed 120 days.

 

Section 10.6. No Partnership, Joint Venture, Agency. Borrower and Trustee acknowledge that the relationship between them created hereby and by the other Loan

 

57


Documents is that of debtor and creditor and is not intended to be and shall not in any way be construed to be that of a partnership, joint venture, or principal and agent; and that the activities of Trustee in connection with the construction of the Improvements and disbursement of the Loan shall not be deemed to make Trustee a partner, joint venturer, or principal or agent of Borrower, but rather shall be deemed solely for the purpose of protecting Trustee’s security for the Loan.

 

Section 10.7. Notices. All notices, requests and demands upon the respective parties hereto shall be in writing and shall be issued in accordance with the notice provisions of the Indenture.

 

Section 10.8. Amendment; No Implied Waiver. This Agreement may be amended, and Borrower may take any action herein prohibited, or omit to perform any act required to be performed by it, only if Borrower shall first obtain the prior written consent of Trustee to such amendment, action or omission to act. No failure of Trustee to exercise and no delay in exercising any right, power or privilege under this Agreement or the other Loan Documents shall operate as a waiver thereof; nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right, power or privilege hereunder preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege.

 

Section 10.9. Survival of Agreements. All agreements, covenants, representations and warranties of Borrower made in this Agreement shall survive the execution and delivery of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and the making of all disbursements hereunder, regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of Trustee.

 

Section 10.10. Entire Agreement; Successors and Assigns; Joint and Several Liability; Time of the Essence. This Agreement and the other Loan Documents contain the entire terms of the agreement with respect to the Loan, and no representations, inducements, promises or agreements between Borrower and Trustee not set forth herein or in the other Loan Documents shall be of any force or effect. This Agreement shall be binding upon and shall inure to the benefit of Borrower and Trustee and their respective successors (including heirs and personal representatives) and Trustee’s assigns, whether so expressed or not. If Borrower consists of more than one Person then the liability of such Persons shall be joint and several for all obligations of Borrower arising hereunder, or otherwise under the Loan Documents or in connection with the Loan. Time is of the essence under this Agreement.

 

Section 10.11. Severability. In case any one or more provisions contained in this Agreement or the other Loan Documents should be deemed invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect, the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions contained herein or therein shall in no way be affected or impaired thereby and shall be enforceable to the maximum extent permitted by law.

 

Section 10.12. Descriptive Headings. The headings of the articles, sections, subsections and paragraphs of this Agreement are for the convenience of reference only, and are not considered to be a part hereof and shall not limit or otherwise affect any of the terms hereof.

 

58


Section 10.13. Governing Law. Notwithstanding that one or more parties to this Agreement may execute it outside of the State of Maryland, this Agreement is made and delivered in the State of Maryland and this Agreement shall be construed, interpreted and enforced in accordance with the laws of the State of Maryland as the same are in effect from time to time (excluding application of any principle of conflict-of-laws which would direct the application of the law of any other jurisdiction). Borrower consents to any action or proceeding arising hereunder being brought in the courts of the State of Maryland, provided, however, that if any such action or proceeding arises under the Constitution, laws or treaties of the United States of America, or if there is a diversity of citizenship between the parties thereto, so that it is to be brought in a United States District Court, Borrower consents to such action being brought in the United States District Court for the District of Maryland or any successor federal court having original jurisdiction.

 

Section 10.14. Waiver of Jury Trial. EACH PARTY TO THIS AGREEMENT HEREBY VOLUNTARILY AND INTENTIONALLY WAIVES ANY RIGHT EACH MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY PURSUANT TO APPLICABLE LAW IN ANY ACTION, PROCEEDING OR LITIGATION DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF, UNDER, OR IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OF THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS.

 

Section 10.15. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in two counterparts, which together shall constitute a fully executed original instrument.

 

Section 10.16. Trustee’s Consent. Wherever in this Agreement Trustee has expressly agreed to not unreasonably withhold or delay its consent as to a particular matter, such agreement not to withhold or delay consent shall not apply to the extent the subject matter of the consent relates to the Labor Covenant, ERISA and/or UBIT matters. For such matters, Trustee’s consent shall be in its sole discretion.

The undersigned, MHI Hospitality, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership (“Guarantor”), the sole member of MHI Jacksonville LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Borrower”), and the sole stockholder of MHI Hospitality TRS Holding, Inc., a Delaware corporation, which is the sole member of MHI Hospitality TRS, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Operator”), hereby acknowledges that it has reviewed the Loan Agreement executed by Borrower and Mercantile-Safe Deposit and Trust Company, a Maryland corporation (“Trustee”), in its capacity as trustee of the AFL-CIO Building Investment Trust, a trust existing under the laws of Maryland (the “Trust”), and not in its corporate capacity (the “Loan Agreement”), to which this Joinder is attached and made a part of. Guarantor acknowledges and agrees that Borrower’s satisfaction of certain covenants contained in the Loan Agreement may require the action or inaction of Operator from time to time, and that whenever the Loan Agreement requires Operator to take or refrain from taking any action in order to satisfy Borrower’s obligations under the Loan Agreement, Guarantor shall, so long as it controls, directly or indirectly, Operator, cause Operator to take such action or refrain from taking such action. Any failure by Guarantor to cause Operator to so comply with the terms and provisions of this Loan Agreement shall be a default or Event of Default thereunder, as the circumstances so require. Nothing herein shall be interpreted to permit Guarantor to transfer any direct or indirect interest in Operator, except as permitted in the Loan Agreement.
