(d) All New Leases entered into by Borrower and any Borrowing Base Entities after the Third Amendment Closing Date shall by their express terms be subject and subordinate to this Agreement and the First Lien Mortgages (through a subordination provision contained in such Lease or otherwise) and shall provide that if Administrative Agent agrees to a Non-Disturbance Agreement pursuant to Section 7.1.32(f), the Person holding any rights thereunder shall attorn to Administrative Agent or any other Person succeeding to the interests of Administrative Agent upon the exercise of its remedies hereunder or any transfer in lieu thereof on the terms set forth in this Section 7.1.32.
(e) Each New Lease entered into from and after the Third Amendment Closing Date shall provide that in the event of the enforcement by Administrative Agent of any remedy under this Agreement or the First Lien Mortgages, if Administrative Agent agrees to a Non-Disturbance Agreement pursuant to Section 7.1.32(f), the Tenant under such Lease shall, at the option of Administrative Agent or of any other Person succeeding to the interest of Administrative Agent as a result of such enforcement, attorn to Administrative Agent or to such Person and shall recognize Administrative Agent or such successor in the interest as lessor under such Lease without
-29-
change in the provisions thereof; provided, however, Administrative Agent or such successor in interest shall not be liable for or bound by (i) any payment of an installment of rent or additional rent made more than thirty (30) days before the due date of such installment, (ii) any act or omission of or default by Borrower or the applicable Borrowing Base Entity under any such Lease (but the Administrative Agent, or such successor, shall be subject to the continuing obligations of the landlord to the extent arising from and after such succession to the extent of Administrative Agent’s, or such successor’s, interest in the Borrowing Base Property), (iii) any credits, claims, setoffs or defenses which any Tenant may have against Borrower or the applicable Borrowing Base Entity, (iv) any obligation under such Lease to maintain a fitness facility at the Borrowing Base Property, (v) any obligation on Borrower’s or the applicable Borrowing Base Entity’s part, pursuant to such Lease, to perform any tenant improvement work or (vi) any obligation on Borrower’s or the applicable Borrowing Base Entity’s part, pursuant to such Lease, to pay any sum of money to any Tenant. Each such New Lease shall also provide that, upon the reasonable request by Administrative Agent or such successor in interest, the Tenant shall execute and deliver an instrument or instruments confirming such attornment.
(f) Administrative Agent on behalf of the Lenders shall enter into, and, if required by applicable law to provide constructive notice or requested by a Tenant, record in the county where the subject Property is located, a subordination, attornment and non-disturbance agreement, substance substantially similar to the form attached to this Agreement as Exhibit L (a “Non-Disturbance Agreement”), with any Tenant (other than an Affiliate of Borrower or a Borrowing Base Entity) entering into a Lease permitted hereunder or otherwise consented to by Lender within ten (10) Business Days after written request therefor by Borrower, provided that such request is accompanied by an officer’s certificate stating that such Lease complies in all material respects with this Section 7.1.32.

-30-
located in the United States, the term “proceeds” shall have the meaning set forth in the Uniform Commercial Code of the State in which the applicable Borrowing Base Property is located) of any or all of the foregoing. Without Administrative Agent’s written consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed, Borrower shall not, and shall not permit the Borrowing Base Entities to, close any of the Accounts, nor take any action or omit to take any action that would result in the monies payable to the Accounts being deposited in accounts other than the Accounts.”.

The election by Borrower to so utilize the Alternative Capex/Investments Basket shall be deemed to be permanent, and the Capex/Investments Basket will then no longer be available. Any payments made by Borrower, Guarantor or any Subsidiary that is not a Non-Borrowing Base Subsidiary to reduce the principal amount of any Indebtedness owed by any Non-Borrowing Base Property Subsidiary shall reduce the Capex/Investments Basket or Alternative Capex/Investments Basket, as applicable.”.

4.1.21 Solvency/Fraudulent Conveyance. Borrower and the Borrowing Base Entities (a) have not entered into the transaction contemplated by the Agreement or any Loan Document with the actual intent to hinder, delay, or defraud any creditor and (b) have received reasonably equivalent value in exchange for their obligations under the Loan Documents. After giving effect to the Facility and the provisions of the Loan Documents, the fair saleable value of Borrower’s assets exceeds and will, immediately following the making of the Facility, exceed Borrower’s total liabilities, including, without limitation, subordinated, unliquidated, disputed and contingent liabilities. After giving effect to the Facility and the provisions of the Loan Documents, the fair saleable value of the assets of each Borrowing Base Entity exceeds and will, immediately following the execution and delivery of this Third Amendment, exceed the total liabilities of such Borrowing Base Entity, including, without limitation, subordinated, unliquidated, disputed and contingent liabilities. The fair saleable value of Borrower’s assets is and will, immediately following the execution and delivery of this Third Amendment, be greater than Borrower’s probable liabilities, including the maximum amount of its contingent liabilities on its Indebtedness as such Indebtedness become absolute and matured. The fair saleable value of the assets of each Borrowing Base Entity is and will, immediately following the execution and delivery of this Third Amendment, be greater than the probable liabilities of such Borrowing Base Entity, including the maximum amount of its contingent liabilities on its Indebtedness as such Indebtedness becomes absolute and matured. The assets of Borrower and each Borrowing Base Entity do not and, immediately following the execution and delivery of this Third Amendment will not, constitute unreasonably small capital to carry out each party’s business as conducted or as proposed to be conducted. Each of Borrower and each Borrowing Base Entity does not intend to, and does not believe that it will, incur Indebtedness and liabilities (including contingent liabilities and other commitments) beyond their ability to pay such Indebtedness and liabilities as they mature (taking into account the timing and amounts of cash to be received by Borrower or such Borrowing Base Entity and the amounts to be payable on or in respect of obligations of Borrower or such Borrowing Base Entity).
4.1.22 Leases and REAs. Borrower represents that it has heretofore delivered, or caused the applicable Borrowing Base Entity to deliver, to Administrative Agent true and complete copies of all Leases and REAs and any and all amendments or modifications thereof. To Borrower’s knowledge, no events or circumstances exist which with or without the giving of notice, the passage of time or both, may constitute a material default on the part of Borrower or such Borrowing Base Entity under any Leases or REAs except as disclosed on Schedule XVII. To Borrower’s knowledge, Borrower or its predecessors and each Borrowing Base Entity of a Borrowing Base Property or its predecessors have complied with and performed all of its or their material construction, improvement and alteration obligations with respect to each Borrowing Base Property required as of the date hereof and any other obligations under the other REAs or the Leases that are required as of the date hereof have either been complied with or the failure to comply with the same does not and could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.
4.1.23 Borrowing Base Property. Each Borrowing Base Property satisfies the following criteria: (i) such Borrowing Base Property is leased to an Operating Lessee; (ii) such
-65-
Borrowing Base Property is designated a full-service property (in accordance with industry standard, as reasonably determined by Administrative Agent); (iii) the Specified Borrowing Base Properties shall at all times be luxury or better quality hotels, and Marriott Lincolnshire shall at all times be an upper-upscale, luxury or better quality hotel, as designated by Smith Travel Research (or a similar successor company designated by Administrative Agent); (iv) such Property is operated under a nationally recognized brand (a) in the case of Marriott Lincolnshire, by an Approved Manager (as set forth on Schedule IV of the Original Agreement) and (b) in the case of the Specified Borrowing Base Properties, by an Approved Luxury Manager; (v) such Borrowing Base Property is fully operating, open to the public and not under development or redevelopment (except for routine, ordinary course renovation, maintenance and repair that does not result in the closure of more than fifteen percent (15%) of the rooms at such hotel); provided, however, that temporary closure due to force majeure events, not to exceed five (5) Business Days, shall be permitted; (vi) such Borrowing Base Property is not subject to or encumbered by any Indebtedness other than Permitted Borrowing Base Debt; (vii) such Borrowing Base Property is free of material structural defects or material environmental issues; (viii) neither such Borrowing Base Property nor the Property Owner thereof is encumbered with Permitted Borrowing Base Debt or any other Material Agreement that by its terms precludes the grant of the Collateral or the exercise by or on behalf of the Secured Creditors of remedies with respect to the Collateral; and (ix) the Property Owner of such Borrowing Base Property is Borrower or a Subsidiary Guarantor.
4.1.24 Mexico Insurance. The insurance policies listed and described on Annex A to the Irrevocable Administration and Security Trust Agreement with Reversion Rights, dated the Third Amendment Closing Date, with respect to the real estate and the equipment used to operate the Four Seasons Mexico City and the Four Seasons Punta Mita which are the Company’s responsibility, are valid and effective as of the date hereof.
| V. | RELEASE OF ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT AND THE LENDERS |
Section 5.1 Borrower, on its own behalf and on behalf of Guarantor and all Subsidiaries (the “Releasing Parties”), hereby releases, remises, acquits and forever discharges each of Administrative Agent and the Lenders, and their respective employees, agents, representatives, consultants, attorneys, fiduciaries, servants, officers, directors, partners, predecessors, successors and assigns, subsidiaries, parents and affiliates (all of the foregoing hereinafter called the “Released Parties”), from any and all actions and causes of action, judgments, executions, suits, debts, claims, demands, liabilities, obligations, damages and expenses of any and every character, including legal fees, known or unknown, direct and/or indirect, at law or in equity, of whatsoever kind or nature, whether heretofore or hereafter arising, for or because of any matter or things done, omitted or suffered to be done by any of the Released Parties prior to and including the date of this Third Amendment that, in any way directly or indirectly, arise out of or in any way are connected to or related to the Original Agreement, the Facility or the Loan Documents, including but not limited to, claims relating to any settlement negotiations (all of the foregoing hereinafter called the “Released Matters”). Each of the Released Parties acknowledges that the agreements in this Article V are intended to be in full satisfaction of all or any alleged injuries or damages arising in connection with the Released Matters. Each of the Releasing Parties hereby represents and warrants to Released Parties that it has not purported to transfer, assign or otherwise convey any of its right, title or interest in any Released Matter to any other Person and that the foregoing constitutes a full and complete release of all Released Matters.”.
