Now, therefore, in consideration of the premises, and in further consideration of the mutual covenants and agreements herein set forth, the parties covenant and agree as follows:
Agreements
Article I
General Information
General Information
Section 1.1 Conditions to Closing.
The conditions precedent to closing the Loan and recording the Mortgage are set forth in the Closing Checklist.

The Schedules attached to this Agreement are incorporated herein and made a part hereof.
Section 1.3 Defined Terms.

Section 2.1 The Loan.
Borrower agrees to borrow from each Lender, and each Lender severally agrees to advance to Borrower, such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the Loan proceeds, subject to the terms and conditions herein set forth, in an amount not to exceed such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the Loan Amount. Interest shall accrue and be payable in arrears only on sums advanced hereunder for the period of time outstanding. The Loan is not a revolving loan; amounts repaid may not be re-borrowed.
61400346.docx
Section 2.2 Loan Advance.
At closing, each Lender shall advance its Pro Rata Share of the Loan proceeds to the party specified in the Funding Direction Notice, net of any amounts set forth in the Funding Direction Notice.
Section 2.3 Reserve Funds.
(a) Office Tenant Improvements, Office Leasing Costs and Office Leasing Commissions. On or before the fifth (5th) day of each calendar month commencing with November 5, 2013, Borrower shall deposit into the Office Leasing Reserve Account an amount equal to one-twelfth (1/12) of the product of the square footage for the Office Unit multiplied by $1.50 ($5,000 / month), to be held for application to Office Tenant Improvements, Office Leasing Commissions and Office Leasing Costs as provided herein (or during the continuance of an Event of Default, as the Required Lenders may elect in their sole discretion). Borrower shall perform and pay, or cause to be performed and paid, all Office Tenant Improvements, Office Leasing Commissions and Office Leasing Costs in accordance with the applicable Qualified Office Leases, construction, brokerage and other agreements, and the Loan Documents.
(b) Tax and Insurance Reserve Funds.
(i) On the Closing Date, Borrower shall deposit into the Tax and Insurance Reserve Account Two Million Six Hundred and Six Thousand Six Hundred and One and No/00 Dollars ($2,606,601), which amount, when added to the required monthly deposits set forth in Section 2.3(b)(ii), is intended to be sufficient to make all payments in accordance with the Loan Documents of the Real Property Taxes that Administrative Agent reasonably estimates will be payable during the twelve (12) month period immediately following the Closing Date and Insurance Premiums (except to the extent the insurance required hereunder is maintained under a blanket insurance policy reasonably acceptable to Administrative Agent) that Administrative Agent reasonably estimates will be payable during the twelve (12) month period immediately following the Closing Date for the renewal of the coverage afforded by the insurance policies upon the expiration thereof. Administrative Agent’s estimates under this Section 2.3(b) shall be controlling absent manifest error.
(ii) On the fifth (5th) day of each calendar month commencing with November 5, 2013, Borrower shall deposit into the Tax and Insurance Reserve Account (i) one-twelfth (1/12) of the amount necessary (taking into account amounts on deposit in the Tax and Insurance Reserve Account) to pay the Real Property Taxes that Administrative Agent reasonably estimates will be payable during the next ensuing twelve (12) months or such higher amount necessary to accumulate with Administrative Agent sufficient funds to pay all such Real Property Taxes prior to the earlier of (A) the date that the same will become delinquent and (B) the date that additional charges or interest will accrue due to the non-payment thereof, and (ii) except to the extent the insurance required hereunder is maintained under a blanket insurance policy reasonably acceptable to Administrative Agent, (A) one-twelfth (1/12) of the Insurance Premiums that Administrative Agent reasonably estimates will be payable during the next ensuing twelve (12) months for the renewal of the coverage afforded by the insurance policies upon the expiration thereof or (B) such higher amount necessary to accumulate with Administrative Agent sufficient funds to pay all such Insurance Premiums prior to the due date for such payments.
(c) FF&E Reserve. Subject to the last sentence of this Section 2.3(c), on the fifth (5th) day of each calendar month commencing with October 5, 2013, Borrower shall deposit into the FF&E Reserve Account the FF&E Reserve Amount calculated with respect to the second (2nd) immediately preceding
61400346.docx 2
calendar month and deliver to Administrative Agent a certificate setting forth in reasonable detail Borrower’s calculation of such FF&E Reserve Amount. For so long as, and to the extent that, Borrower is required to, and actually does, deposit pursuant to the Hotel Management Agreement on a monthly basis the FF&E Reserve Amount into the “Reserve Fund” under the Hotel Management Agreement (the “Hotel Manager FF&E Reserve”), and Hotel Manager is required to, and actually does, maintain the Hotel Manager FF&E Reserve pursuant to the Hotel Management Agreement, then Borrower shall not be obligated to make the applicable monthly deposit required under this Section 2.3(c) into the FF&E Reserve Account; provided, however, that in the event Borrower is not required to, and does not, deposit the entire FF&E Reserve Amount with Administrative Agent pursuant to the preceding sentence, Borrower shall still provide to Administrative Agent the certificate described in this Section 2.3(c) with respect to the FF&E Reserve Amount, or such other information as Borrower and Administrative Agent may reasonably agree with respect to the FF&E Reserve Amount and deposit the amount required to meet the FF&E Reserve Amount into the FF&E Reserve Account. In illustration of the foregoing, if the deposit required to be made and actually made by Borrower into the Hotel Manager FF&E Reserve for any month is only three percent (3.0%) of Actual Operating Revenue of the Hotel Unit, then Borrower would deposit one percent (1.0%) of Actual Operating Revenue of the Hotel Unit into the FF&E Reserve Account.
(d) Reserve Funds Generally. Administrative Agent will disburse the Reserve Funds, and Borrower shall use all such disbursements, in accordance with the terms and conditions of Schedule 2. The provisions of Schedule 2 shall apply to the Reserve Accounts, the Reserve Funds and any and all “Investment Property” (as defined in the Uniform Commercial Code of each applicable jurisdiction) contained therein.
Section 2.4 Automatic Deduction.
(a) Borrower shall maintain the Owner’s Remittance Account in good standing with Administrative Agent.
(b) Borrower agrees that monthly payments on the Note and monthly deposits of Reserve Funds into the Reserve Accounts, as applicable, will be deducted automatically on their due dates from the Owner’s Remittance Account. Administrative Agent is hereby authorized to apply the amounts so debited to Borrower’s obligations under the Loan. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Administrative Agent will not automatically deduct the principal payment at maturity, from the Owner’s Remittance Account.
(c) Administrative Agent will debit the Owner’s Remittance Account on the dates the payments become due. If a due date does not fall on a Banking Day, Administrative Agent will debit the Owner’s Remittance Account on the first Banking Day following the due date.
(d) Borrower shall maintain sufficient funds in the Owner’s Remittance Account on the dates Administrative Agent enters debits authorized by this Agreement. If there are insufficient funds in the Owner’s Remittance Account on the date Administrative Agent enters any debit authorized by this Agreement, without limiting Administrative Agent’s and Lenders’ other remedies in such an event, the debit will be reversed in whole or in part, in Administrative Agent’s sole and absolute discretion, and such amount not debited shall be deemed to be unpaid and shall be immediately due and payable in accordance with the terms of the Note.
Section 2.5 Liability of Lenders.
Lenders shall in no event be responsible or liable to any Person other than Borrower for the disbursement of or failure to disburse the Loan proceeds or any part thereof and no Person other than
61400346.docx 3
Borrower shall have any right or claim against Lenders under this Agreement or the other Loan Documents. Each Lender shall only be liable to Borrower on account of its failure to disburse the Loan proceeds on the Closing Date to the extent of such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the Loan, and not any other Lender’s Pro Rata Share.

Borrower shall perform in a timely manner all of its obligations under any and all Management Agreements and Material Agreements, and Borrower will pay when due all bills for services or labor performed and materials supplied in connection with the construction, maintenance and/or operation of the Property and the Residential Units, provided, however, that Borrower may contest any such bill so long as doing so does not impair or jeopardize the collateral for the Loan or the operation of the Hotel Unit, the other Property or the Condominiums and is not prohibited pursuant to any Management Agreement, any Material Agreement, any Lease or any Condominium Document or other Permitted Encumbrance. Within thirty (30) days after Borrower’s receipt of notice of (or if earlier, Borrower’s obtaining Borrower’s Knowledge of) the filing of any mechanic’s lien or other lien or encumbrance against the Property, Borrower will promptly discharge the same by payment or filing a bond or otherwise as permitted by Law. So long as the collateral has been protected by the filing of a bond or otherwise in a manner satisfactory to Administrative Agent in its sole and absolute discretion, and Borrower is not otherwise prohibited from doing so pursuant to any Management Agreement, any Material Agreement, any Lease or any Condominium Document or other Permitted Encumbrance, Borrower shall have the right to contest in good faith any claim, lien or encumbrance, provided that Borrower does so diligently and without prejudice to Administrative Agent or delay in completing construction of any tenant improvements. Borrower shall cause Service Company LLC, Show Bureau LLC and Stageside LLC to perform (provided that at any time that Borrower does not directly or indirectly control Stageside LLC, Borrower shall only be obligated to use reasonable efforts to cause Stageside LLC to perform) in a timely

Section 4.4 Insurance.
Borrower shall maintain the following insurance at its sole cost and expense (except to the extent that either Condominium Association pursuant to the Condominium Documents maintains the following with respect to the Common Elements, and provided that all of the terms and conditions of this Section are satisfied with respect thereto):
(a) Insurance against Casualty to the Property (including the contents of the Units owned by Borrower) under a policy or policies covering such risks as are presently included in “special form” (also known as “all risk”) coverage, including such risks as are ordinarily insured against by similar businesses, but in any event including fire, lightning, windstorm, hail, explosion, riot, riot attending a strike, civil commotion, damage from aircraft, smoke, vandalism, malicious mischief and acts of terrorism (so long as requiring terrorism insurance is consistent with the regular requirements and practices of Administrative Agent in similar transactions). Such insurance shall name Administrative Agent as mortgagee and loss payee. Unless otherwise agreed in writing by Administrative Agent, such insurance shall be for the full insurable value of the Property on a replacement cost basis, with a deductible amount, if any, reasonably satisfactory to Administrative Agent. No policy of insurance shall be written such that the proceeds thereof will produce less than the minimum coverage required by this Section 4.4 by reason of co-insurance provisions or otherwise. The term “full insurable value” means one hundred percent (100%) of the actual replacement cost of the Property, including tenant improvements (excluding excavation costs and costs of underground flues, pipes, drains and other uninsurable items).
(b) Commercial (also known as comprehensive) general liability insurance on an “occurrence” basis against claims for “personal injury” liability and liability for death, bodily injury and damage to property, products and completed operations, in limits reasonably satisfactory to Administrative Agent with respect to any one occurrence and the aggregate of all occurrences during any given annual policy period. Such insurance shall name Administrative Agent as an additional insured.
(c) Workers’ compensation insurance for all employees of Borrower, if any, in such amount as is required by Law and including employer’s liability insurance, if required by Administrative Agent.
(d) During any period of construction of tenant improvements, Borrower shall maintain, or cause others to maintain, such insurance as may be required by Administrative Agent of the type customarily carried in the case of similar construction for one hundred percent (100%) of the full replacement cost of materials stored at or upon the Property. During any period of other construction upon the Property, Borrower shall maintain, or cause others to maintain, builder’s risk insurance (non-reporting form) of the type customarily carried in the case of similar construction for one hundred percent (100%) of the full replacement cost of work in place and materials stored at or upon the Property.
(e) If at any time any portion of any structure on the Property is insurable against Casualty by flood and is located in a Special Flood Hazard Area under the Flood Disaster Protection Act of 1973, as amended, a flood insurance policy on the structure and Borrower owned contents in form and amount
61400346.docx 13
acceptable to Administrative Agent but in no amount less than the amount sufficient to meet the requirements of applicable Law as such requirements may from time to time be in effect.
(f) Loss of rental value insurance or business interruption insurance in an amount equal to twelve (12) months of the projected gross income of the Property and an extended period of indemnity endorsement providing an additional twelve (12) months’ loss of rental value or business interruption insurance after the Property has been restored or until the projected gross income returns to the level that existed prior to the loss, whichever is first to occur.
(g) Such other and further insurance as may be reasonably required from time to time by Administrative Agent in order to comply with regular requirements and practices of Administrative Agent in similar transactions including, if required by Administrative Agent, boiler and machinery insurance, pollution liability insurance, and wind insurance, so long as any such insurance is generally available at commercially reasonable premiums as determined by Administrative Agent from time to time.
Each policy of insurance (i) shall be issued by one or more insurance companies each of which must have an A.M. Best Company financial and performance rating of A-IX or better and are qualified or authorized by the Laws of the State to assume the risks covered by such policy, (ii) with respect to the insurance described under the preceding Subsections (a), (d), (e) and (f), shall have attached thereto standard non-contributing, non-reporting mortgagee clauses in favor of and entitling Administrative Agent without contribution to collect any and all proceeds payable under such insurance, either as sole payee or as joint payee with Borrower, (iii) shall provide that such policy shall not be canceled or modified for nonpayment of premiums without at least ten (10) days prior written notice to Administrative Agent, or for any other reason without at least thirty (30) days prior written notice to Administrative Agent, and (iv) shall provide that any loss otherwise payable thereunder shall be payable notwithstanding any act or negligence of Borrower which might, absent such agreement, result in a forfeiture of all or a part of such insurance payment. Borrower shall promptly pay all premiums when due on such insurance and, not less than ten (10) days prior to the expiration dates of each such policy, Borrower will deliver to Administrative Agent acceptable evidence of insurance, such as a renewal policy or policies marked “premium paid” or other evidence satisfactory to Administrative Agent reflecting that all required insurance is current and in force. Borrower will immediately give Notice to Administrative Agent of any cancellation of, or change in, any insurance policy. Administrative Agent shall not, because of accepting, rejecting, approving or obtaining insurance, incur any liability for (A) the existence, nonexistence, form or legal sufficiency thereof, (B) the solvency of any insurer, or (C) the payment of losses. Borrower may satisfy any insurance requirement hereunder by providing one or more “blanket” insurance policies, subject to Administrative Agent’s approval in each instance as to limits, coverages, forms, deductibles, inception and expiration dates, and cancellation provisions.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section, by funding the Loan, Lenders acknowledge that, solely for the purposes of satisfying the conditions precedent to the effectiveness of this Agreement, the existing policies of insurance for the Property and Borrower are satisfactory to Lenders in all respects as of the Closing Date.

Section 4.5 Adjustment of Condemnation and Insurance Claims.
Borrower shall give prompt Notice to Administrative Agent of any Casualty or any Condemnation or threatened Condemnation, and, if Borrower obtains knowledge of same, of any casualty or any condemnation or threatened condemnation of any of the Common Elements. Subject to the Condominium Documents with respect to the Common Elements, Administrative Agent is authorized, at its sole and absolute option, to commence, appear in and prosecute, in its own or Borrower’s name, any action or proceeding relating to any Condemnation or Casualty, and to make proof of loss for and to settle or compromise any Claim in connection therewith. In such case, Administrative Agent shall have the right to receive all Condemnation Awards and Insurance Proceeds, and may deduct therefrom any or all of its Expenses. However, so long as no uncured Event of Default exists and Borrower is diligently pursuing its rights and remedies with respect to a Claim, Administrative Agent will obtain Borrower’s written consent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed) before making proof of loss for or settling or compromising such Claim. Borrower agrees to diligently assert its rights and remedies with respect to each Claim and to promptly pursue the settlement and compromise of each Claim subject to Administrative Agent’s approval, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. If, prior to the receipt by Administrative Agent of any Condemnation Award or Insurance Proceeds, the Property shall have been sold pursuant to the provisions of the Mortgage, Administrative Agent shall have the right to receive such funds (a) to the extent of any deficiency found to be due upon such sale with interest thereon (whether or not a deficiency judgment on the Mortgage shall have been sought or recovered or denied), and (b) to the extent necessary to reimburse Administrative Agent for its Expenses. If any Condemnation Awards or Insurance Proceeds are paid to Borrower, Borrower shall receive the same in trust for Administrative Agent for use in accordance with the provisions of Section 4.6. Within ten (10) days after Borrower’s receipt of any Condemnation Awards or Insurance Proceeds in excess of One Hundred Thousand Dollars ($100,000), Borrower shall deliver such awards or proceeds to Administrative Agent in the form in which they were received, together with any endorsements or documents that may be necessary to effectively negotiate or transfer the same to Administrative Agent. Borrower agrees to execute and deliver from time to time, upon the request of Administrative Agent, such further instruments or documents as may be requested by Administrative Agent to confirm the grant and assignment to Administrative Agent of any Condemnation Awards or Insurance Proceeds.
Borrower has made proof of loss and is pursuing resolution of the Balcony Glass Claim. Borrower represents and warrants that all repairs regarding the Balcony Glass Claim have been completed. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, Administrative Agent acknowledges and agrees that, while no Default or Event of Default shall exist and be continuing (i) the Balcony Glass Claim and proceeds therefrom are not collateral securing the Loan, (ii) Borrower may prosecute the Balcony Glass Claim in its sole discretion, and (iii) all proceeds received by Borrower from the Balcony Glass Claim may be used and distributed by Borrower in Borrower’s sole discretion.
Section 4.6 Utilization of Net Proceeds.
(a) Net Proceeds must be utilized either for payment of the Obligations or for the restoration of the Property. Net Proceeds may be utilized for the restoration of the Property only if no Event of Default shall exist and only if in the reasonable judgment of Administrative Agent (i) the Net Proceeds together with other funds deposited with Administrative Agent for that purpose, are sufficient to pay the cost of the restoration pursuant to a budget and plans and specifications reasonably approved by
61400346.docx 15
Administrative Agent, (ii) the restoration can be completed prior to the final maturity of the Loan and prior to the date required by any Management Agreement or any Condominium Document or other Permitted Encumbrance, and (iii) it is reasonably expected that, following restoration, (A) the outstanding principal balance of the Loan will not exceed seventy percent (70%) of the fair market value of the Property, and (B) the Debt Service Coverage Ratio for the Property will be at least 1.35 to 1.00. Otherwise, unless Administrative Agent elects otherwise, Net Proceeds shall be utilized for payment of the Obligations.
(b) If Net Proceeds are in excess of One Hundred Thousand Dollars ($100,000) and are to be utilized for the restoration of the Property, the Net Proceeds, together with any other funds deposited with Administrative Agent for that purpose, must be deposited in a Borrower’s Deposit Account, which shall be an interest-bearing account, with all accrued interest to become part of Borrower’s deposit. Borrower agrees that it shall include all interest and earnings on any such deposit as its income (and, if Borrower is a partnership or other pass-through entity, the income of its partners, members or beneficiaries, as the case may be), and shall be the owner of all funds on deposit in the Borrower’s Deposit Account for federal and applicable state and local tax purposes. Administrative Agent shall have the exclusive right to manage and control all funds in the Borrower’s Deposit Account, but Administrative Agent shall have no fiduciary duty with respect to such funds. Administrative Agent will advance the deposited funds from time to time to Borrower for the payment of costs of restoration of the Property upon presentation of evidence reasonably acceptable to Administrative Agent that such restoration has been completed satisfactorily and lien-free. If at any time Administrative Agent determines that there is a deficiency in the funds available in the Borrower’s Deposit Account to complete the restoration as contemplated, then Borrower will promptly deposit in the Borrower’s Deposit Account additional funds equal to the amount of the deficiency. Any account fees and charges may be deducted from the balance, if any, in the Borrower’s Deposit Account. Borrower grants to Administrative Agent a security interest in the Borrower’s Deposit Account and all funds hereafter deposited to such deposit account, and any proceeds thereof, as security for the Obligations. Such security interest shall be governed by the Uniform Commercial Code of the State, and Administrative Agent shall have available to it all of the rights and remedies available to a secured party thereunder. The Borrower’s Deposit Account may be established and held in such name or names as Administrative Agent shall deem appropriate, including in the name of Administrative Agent. Borrower hereby constitutes and appoints Administrative Agent and any officer or agent of Administrative Agent its true and lawful attorneys-in-fact with full power of substitution to open the Borrower’s Deposit Account and to do any and every act that Borrower might do on its own behalf to fulfill the terms of this Section. To the extent permitted by Law, Borrower hereby ratifies all that said attorneys shall lawfully do or cause to be done by virtue hereof. It is understood and agreed that this power of attorney, which shall be deemed to be a power coupled with an interest, cannot be revoked. If Administrative Agent enters into any agreement or signs any document under a power of attorney for Borrower or an affiliate of Borrower or otherwise as attorney-in-fact for Borrower or an affiliate of Borrower, (a) Administrative Agent shall not create any personal liability for Borrower or any affiliate of Borrower, (b) any such agreement or document must recite that the recourse of any other parties to such agreement or document under the subject agreement or document shall be limited to the Property, and (c) Administrative Agent shall send to Borrower written notice of the same, with a copy of the signed agreement or document, within three (3) Banking Days of signing the same.
(c) If the Improvements are substantially damaged or destroyed by fire or other casualty and Administrative Agent determines that the Improvements cannot be restored in accordance with the terms and provisions of this Agreement and the Mortgage, Administrative Agent shall have the right to accelerate the Maturity Date and declare the Loan immediately due and payable by written notice to Borrower, subject, however, to the terms and provisions of Section 6.7 hereof.
61400346.docx 16
(d) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, in the event a Casualty or Condemnation also affects any of the Common Elements that are necessary for the use and operation of the Property in accordance with applicable Laws, the Loan Documents, the Management Agreements and the KLRU Agreement, or with respect to which the non-restoration has or would reasonably likely have a Material Adverse Effect, the Net Proceeds will not be utilized for the restoration of the Property, and Administrative Agent shall not be obligated to make them available for such purpose, until Administrative Agent receives adequate assurances from the Condominium Association responsible for the restoration of such Common Elements that such Condominium Association has proceeds or other funds available for such restoration and will perform such restoration in a timely manner and otherwise in accordance with the Condominium Documents. If Administrative Agent does not received such assurances promptly after the occurrence of the Casualty or Condemnation, or the Condominium Association fails to perform or ceases to perform the restoration of the Common Elements (other than temporary delays due to matters outside the control of the Condominium Association or Borrower (it being acknowledged that a lack of Borrower funds shall not be considered outside the control of Borrower) such as items of force majeure and delays in the issuance of permits by applicable governmental authority(ies)), Administrative Agent shall have the right to accelerate the Maturity Date and declare the Loan immediately due and payable by written notice to Borrower. Administrative Agent may coordinate its disbursement of Net Proceeds with the progress of restoration of the Common Elements.
Section 4.7 Management and Operation.
(a) Borrower at all times shall provide for the competent and responsible management and operation of the Property. At all times, Borrower shall cause the Hotel Unit to be managed by Hotel Manager pursuant to the Hotel Management Agreement, the Office Unit and the Commercial Units to be managed by Office/Retail Manager pursuant to the Office/Retail Management Agreement and the Shared Facilities Unit to be managed by Shared Facilities Manager pursuant to the Shared Facilities Management Agreement (or, in each case, by another Approved Manager pursuant to a Management Agreement approved by Administrative Agent). All Management Agreements must be approved in writing by Administrative Agent prior to the execution of the same.
(b) Borrower shall (i) perform in a timely manner all of its obligations under each Management Agreement and do all things necessary to preserve and to keep unimpaired its material rights thereunder; (ii) promptly notify Administrative Agent of any material default by any Approved Manager under any Management Agreement of which Borrower becomes actually aware; (iii) promptly deliver to Administrative Agent a copy of any notice of default, any demand for working capital or other funds or any other material notice received under any Management Agreement; (iv) promptly deliver to Administrative Agent a copy of any material report, budget, forecast, periodic accounting, operating or other financial statement received under any Management Agreement; (v) promptly give notice to Administrative Agent of any notice received which indicates that an Approved Manager or any other Person is terminating any Management Agreement or that an Approved Manager is otherwise discontinuing its management with respect to the Property; and (vi) promptly enforce the performance and observance of all of the material covenants required to be performed and observed by an Approved Manager and any other Person under any Management Agreement. Nothing in any Management Agreement or any other agreement to which Borrower is a party or is bound, including anything regarding the right of any manager or other Person to enter into contracts or perform other actions with regards to the Property, shall be deemed to relieve or excuse Borrower from performing the Obligations.

Except as expressly provided to the contrary in the Loan Documents, nothing contained in this Agreement or any other Loan Document shall limit the right of Administrative Agent or any Lender to exercise its business judgment or to act, in the context of the granting or withholding of any advance or consent under this Agreement or any other Loan Document, in a subjective manner, whether or not objectively reasonable under the circumstances, so long as Administrative Agent’s and such Lender’s exercise of its business judgment or action is made or undertaken in good faith. Borrower, Administrative Agent and Lenders intend by the foregoing and the other express provisions of the Loan Documents, to set forth and affirm their entire understanding with respect to the standard pursuant to which Administrative Agent’s and each Lender’s duties and obligations are to be judged and the parameters within which Administrative Agent’s and each Lender’s discretion may be exercised hereunder and under the other Loan Documents. As used herein, “good faith” means honesty in fact in the conduct and transaction concerned.
Section 8.4 No Partnership.
The relationship between Lenders (including Administrative Agent) and Borrower is solely that of lender and borrower. Neither Administrative Agent nor any Lender has any fiduciary or other special relationship with or duty to Borrower and none is created by the Loan Documents. Nothing contained in the Loan Documents, and no action taken or omitted pursuant to the Loan Documents, is intended or shall be construed to create any partnership, joint venture, association, or special relationship between Borrower and Administrative Agent or any Lender or in any way make Administrative Agent or any Lender a co-principal with Borrower with reference to the Property or otherwise. In no event shall Administrative Agent’s or Lenders’ rights and interests under the Loan Documents be construed to give Administrative Agent or any Lender the right to control, or be deemed to indicate that Administrative Agent or any Lender is in control of, the business, properties, management or operations of Borrower.
Section 8.5 Severability.
In the event any one or more of the provisions of this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents shall for any reason be held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, in whole or in part or in any other respect, or in the event any one or more of the provisions of any of the Loan Documents operates or would prospectively operate to invalidate this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, then and in either of those events, at the option of Administrative Agent, such provision or provisions only shall be deemed null and void and shall not affect the validity of the remaining Obligations, and the remaining provisions of the Loan Documents shall remain operative and in full force and effect and shall in no way be affected, prejudiced or disturbed thereby.

Section 8.6 Notices.
All Notices required or which any party desires to give hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall be in writing and, unless otherwise specifically provided in such other Loan Document, shall be deemed sufficiently given or furnished if delivered by personal delivery, by nationally recognized overnight courier service or by certified United States mail, postage prepaid, addressed to the party to whom directed at the applicable address set forth below (unless changed by similar notice in writing given by the particular party whose address is to be changed) or by facsimile. Any Notice shall be deemed to have been given either at the time of personal delivery or, in the case of courier or mail, as of the date of first attempted delivery at the address and in the manner provided herein, or, in the case of facsimile, upon receipt; provided that service of a Notice required by any applicable statute shall be considered complete when the requirements of that statute are met. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no notice of change of address shall be effective except upon actual receipt. This Section shall not be construed in any way to affect or impair any waiver of notice or demand provided in this Agreement or in any other Loan Document or to require giving of notice or demand to or upon any Person in any situation or for any reason.
Pursuant to that certain Subordination, Non-Disturbance and Attornment Agreement dated as of the date hereof by and among Administrative Agent, Hotel Manager and Borrower, Administrative Agent has agreed to send copies of notices of “events of default” to Hotel Manager. In no event shall the delivery of such copy to Hotel Manager be a condition precedent to the exercise of any right or remedy of Administrative Agent or Lenders or to the performance of any of the Obligations, and neither the failure to deliver such copy, or any delay in delivering such copy, to Hotel Manager shall not affect any of the rights and remedies of Administrative Agent and Lenders or any of the Obligations.

Section 8.7 Permitted Successors and Assigns; Disclosure of Information.
(a) Each and every one of the covenants, terms, provisions and conditions of this Agreement and the Loan Documents shall apply to, bind and inure to the benefit of Borrower, its successors and those assigns of Borrower consented to in writing by Administrative Agent and all Lenders, and shall apply to, bind and inure to the benefit of Administrative Agent and each Lender and the endorsees,
61400346.docx 39
transferees, successors and assigns of Administrative Agent and each Lender, and all Persons claiming under or through any of them.
(b) Borrower agrees not to transfer, assign, pledge or hypothecate any right or interest in any payment or advance due pursuant to this Agreement, or any of the other benefits of this Agreement, without the prior written consent of Administrative Agent and all Lenders, which consent may be withheld by them in their sole and absolute discretion. Any such transfer, assignment, pledge or hypothecation made or attempted by Borrower without the prior written consent of Administrative Agent and Lenders shall be void and of no effect. No consent by Administrative Agent or Lenders to an assignment shall be deemed to be a waiver of the requirement of prior written consent by Administrative Agent and Lenders with respect to each and every further assignment and as a condition precedent to the effectiveness of such assignment.
(c) Each Lender may sell or offer to sell the Loan or interests therein to one or more assignees or participants (each a “Lender Transferee”). Any such transaction shall be at such Lender’s sole cost and expense, including, without limitation, the cost of any reports, certifications or opinions required of Borrower or any Guarantor in connection with any such transaction. Without limitation of the foregoing, in no event shall Borrower have liability (by way of certification, indemnity or otherwise) for information or statements contained in third party reports used in connection with the secondary marketing transaction. Borrower shall execute, acknowledge and deliver any and all instruments reasonably requested by Administrative Agent or any Lender in connection therewith, including substitute promissory notes, provided that Borrower’s obligations under the Loan Documents are not increased in any material respect and its right thereunder are not diminished in any material respect (it being agreed that a material increase in Borrower’s obligations or a material decrease in its rights will not result from the fact that there will be a different lender or more than one lender after such sale). To the extent, if any, specified in any such assignment or participation, any such Lender Transferee shall have the same rights and benefits with respect to the Loan Documents as such Person(s) would have if such Person(s) were a Lender hereunder. Each Lender and Administrative Agent may disseminate any information it now has or hereafter obtains pertaining to the Loan, including any security for the Loan, any credit or other information on the Property (including environmental reports and assessments) and other collateral for the Loan, Borrower, any of Borrower’s principals, Stageside LLC, Service Company LLC, Show Bureau LLC or Guarantor, to any actual or prospective assignee or participant, to each Lender’s and Administrative Agent’s Affiliates, including Merrill Lynch, Pierce, Fenner & Smith Incorporated, to any regulatory body having jurisdiction over any Lender or Administrative Agent, to any actual or prospective counterparty (or its advisors) to any swap or derivative transaction relating to Borrower and the Loan, or to any other party as necessary or appropriate in any Lender’s or Administrative Agent’s reasonable judgment.
(d) Administrative Agent, acting solely for this purpose as an agent of Borrower (and such agency being solely for tax purposes), shall maintain at Administrative Agent’s Office a copy of each Lender loan assignment delivered to it (or the equivalent thereof in electronic form) and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of Lenders, and the Commitments of, and the principal amount (and stated interest) of each Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the Loan owing to, each Lender pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the “Register”). The entries in the Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and Borrower, Administrative Agent and Lenders shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement. The Register shall be available for inspection by Borrower and any Lender, at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior written notice.
(e) At any time when Administrative Agent is no longer a Lender, then, and only then, Administrative Agent may assign its interests as Administrative Agent herein and may also resign as
61400346.docx 40
administrative agent for the Lenders. In the event of the occurrence of any material gross negligence or willful misconduct of Administrative Agent, if all of the Lenders agree, Administrative Agent may be removed as the administrative agent for the Lenders and replaced with a successor or replacement agent selected by Required Lenders. Upon the acceptance by the successor administrative agent of its appointment as successor administrative agent hereunder, the retiring Administrative Agent’s resignation or removal, as applicable, shall be effective, such successor administrative agent shall succeed to all the rights, powers and duties of the retiring Administrative Agent and the term “Administrative Agent” shall mean such successor administrative agent, and the retiring Administrative Agent’s appointment, powers and duties as Administrative Agent shall be terminated. After the effective date any retiring Administrative Agent’s resignation or removal as Administrative Agent, the provisions of this Agreement shall inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was Administrative Agent.
(f) Any Lender may at any time pledge or assign a security interest in all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement (including under its Note, if any) to secure obligations of such Lender, including any pledge or assignment to secure obligations to a Federal Reserve Bank; provided that no such pledge or assignment shall release a Lender from any of its obligations hereunder or substitute any such pledgee or assignee for such Lender as a party hereto.
(g) If there is more than one Lender hereunder, or where any Lender has sold an interest in the Loan to one or more participants, Borrower and Guarantor shall be entitled to deal with and rely upon only Bank of America as the Administrative Agent for all owners of interests in the Loan in connection with all matters relating to the Loan, subject, however, to replacement or successor administrative agents pursuant to Section 8.7(e) hereof, and, notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in the other Loan Documents, shall not incur any costs greater than those if Bank of America were the only lender (including enforcement costs).
Section 8.8 Modification; Waiver.
None of the terms or provisions of this Agreement may be changed, waived, modified, discharged or terminated except by instrument in writing executed by the party or parties against whom enforcement of the change, waiver, modification, discharge or termination is asserted. None of the terms or provisions of this Agreement shall be deemed to have been abrogated or waived by reason of any failure or failures to enforce the same.
Section 8.9 Third Parties; Benefit.
All conditions to the obligation of Administrative Agent to make disbursements from the Reserve Accounts are imposed solely and exclusively for the benefit of each Lender and its assigns and no other Persons shall have standing to require satisfaction of such conditions in accordance with their terms or be entitled to assume that such Lender or Administrative Agent will refuse to make advances or disbursements in the absence of strict compliance with any or all thereof and no other Person shall, under any circumstances, be deemed to be the beneficiary of such conditions, any or all of which may be freely waived in whole or in part by Administrative Agent at any time in the sole and absolute exercise of its discretion. The terms and provisions of this Agreement are for the benefit of the parties hereto and, except as herein specifically provided, no other Person shall have any right or cause of action on account thereof.

EACH PARTY HERETO HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LEGAL PROCEEDING OR ACTION DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT, THE NOTE, THE MORTGAGE, OR ANY OTHER DOCUMENT EXECUTED IN CONNECTION HEREWITH OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY OR THEREBY (WHETHER BASED ON CONTRACT, TORT OR ANY OTHER THEORY).

61400346.docx 44
(a) Not less than ten (10) Banking Days prior to the date of the release, Borrower shall have delivered to Administrative Agent a Notice setting forth (i) the date of the release and (ii) the Release Unit;
(b) On the date of the release, no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing;
(c) On the date of the release, Borrower shall have conveyed the Release Unit to a third party unaffiliated with Borrower and shall have delivered to Administrative Agent a copy of the deed to such party and other evidence of the closing of such conveyance reasonably acceptable to Administrative Agent;
(d) Borrower shall have delivered to Administrative Agent an endorsement to the title insurance policy insuring Administrative Agent’s interest under the Mortgage in form and content satisfactory to Administrative Agent confirming no change in the priority of the Mortgage on the balance of the Property;
(e) Upon giving effect to the partial release, the Debt Service Coverage Ratio as of the Determination Date immediately preceding the date of release, based on the remaining portions of the Property and the outstanding principal balance of the Loan as of the release date giving effect to the prepayment pursuant to Section 8.21(g), shall not be less than 1.65 to 1.00;
(f) Borrower shall confirm to Administrative Agent in writing that any right of any Person that owns, leases or has any other right to use or occupy the Release Unit (or to whom Borrower is otherwise obligated) to use or occupy any other portion of the Property for any purpose, and any right of any Person that owns, leases or has any other right to use or occupy any other portion of the Property (or to whom Borrower is otherwise obligated) to use or occupy any portion of the Release Unit, is fully documented pursuant to a Lease, the Condominium Documents, another Permitted Encumbrance, or another written agreement that does not violate any provision of the Loan Documents and that has been delivered to Administrative Agent, and that the use or occupancy rights of such Person shall not be a default by Borrower under such document, or if not, Borrower and such Person shall enter into such agreement, subject to the consent of Administrative Agent if such agreement is not permitted to be entered into by Borrower pursuant to the Loan Documents, and deliver a copy thereof to Administrative Agent;
(g) Borrower shall have made on the date of the release a prepayment of the Loan in an amount equal to one hundred and twenty-five percent (125%) of the Loan Amount allocated to such Release Unit on Schedule 8, and shall have satisfied all conditions to prepayment;
(h) Borrower shall have paid to Administrative Agent or the title company the cost of the endorsement referred to in Section 8.21(c) and paid to Administrative Agent all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by Administrative Agent on account of such release; and
(i) Borrower shall have provided Administrative Agent a written certification that the conditions set forth in this Section 8.21 are satisfied and such release is permitted hereunder, subject to receipt of the payments set forth in Sections 8.21(g) and (h).
For the avoidance of doubt, upon the release of any Release Unit from the liens of the Loan Documents pursuant to this Sections 8.21, the Release Unit shall not be subject to any obligations of the Loan Documents (except those that expressly survive the termination any Loan Document and/or the repayment of the Loan, including the Environmental Agreement) and the definition of “Property” or any
61400346.docx 45
words or terms of similar import hereunder shall be automatically deemed modified to remove the Release Unit from the definitions thereof (other than for provisions that survive the termination any Loan Document and/or the repayment of the Loan, including the Environmental Agreement). Such releases shall not impair or otherwise affect any of the obligation or liabilities of Borrower, Guarantor, Stageside LLC, Service Company LLC or Show Bureau under any Loan Document, or any of the Liens on the other collateral for the Loan, including the balance of the Property.
Section 8.22 Residential Units.
Although this Agreement and the other Loan Documents may refer to, and contain covenants and representations and warranties pertaining to, the Residential Units, the Residential Units are not part of the collateral for the Loan.
Section 8.23 Authorized Signers.
Administrative Agent and Lenders are authorized to rely upon the continuing authority of the Authorized Signers to bind Borrower with respect to all matters pertaining to the Loan and the Loan Documents, including the submission of draw requests and the selection of interest rates. Such authorization may be changed only upon written notice addressed to Administrative Agent accompanied by evidence, reasonably satisfactory to Administrative Agent, of the authority of the Person giving such notice. Such notice shall be effective not sooner than five (5) Banking Days following receipt thereof by Administrative Agent.
Section 8.24 Lender Taxes.
(a) Any and all payments by or on account of any obligation of Borrower under any Loan Document shall be made without deduction or withholding for any Lender Taxes, except as required by applicable Laws. Subject to Section 8.24(b), if Borrower shall be required to withhold or deduct any Lender Taxes, including both United States Federal backup withholding and withholding taxes, from any payment, then to the extent that the withholding or deduction is made on account of Indemnified Taxes, the sum payable by Borrower shall be increased as necessary so that after any required withholding or the making of all required deductions (including deductions applicable to additional sums payable under this Section 8.24) the applicable Recipient receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such withholding or deduction been made.
(b) If Borrower shall be required to withhold or deduct any Lender Taxes, including both United States Federal backup withholding and withholding taxes, from any payment, then to the extent that the withholding or deduction is made on account of Indemnified Taxes, the sum payable by Borrower shall be increased as necessary so that after any required withholding or the making of all required deductions (including deductions applicable to additional sums payable under this Section 8.24) the applicable Recipient receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such withholding or deduction been made; provided, however, that in the event that (i) any Lender that becomes a Lender after the Closing Date (or, if such Lender is a disregarded entity for United States federal income tax purposes, the Person treated, for United States federal income tax purposes, as the owner of the assets of such Lender) is not organized under the laws of the United States or a state thereof and (ii) such Lender fails to establish to the reasonable satisfaction of Borrower that payments under the Loan Documents are exempt from United Stated withholding taxes, Borrower shall not be required to increase sums payable Borrower pursuant to this Section 8.24(b).
61400346.docx 46
(c) Any amounts withheld pursuant to this Section 8.24 shall be remitted by Borrower to the applicable taxing authority and treated, for purposes of this Agreement and all other Loan Documents, as if they were paid to such Lender.
Section 8.25 Co-Lender and Agency Provisions.
Schedule 15 hereof sets forth certain terms and provisions applicable to Administrative Agent and Lenders only. Said terms and provisions shall not inure to the benefit of, or be binding upon, Borrower. Administrative Agent and Lenders shall be entitled to amend (whether pursuant to a separate intercreditor agreement or otherwise) any of the terms, conditions or agreements set forth in Schedule 15 or as to any other matter in the Loan Documents respecting payments to Administrative Agent or Lenders or the required number of Lenders to approve or disapprove any matter or to take or refrain from taking any action, without the consent of Borrower or any other Person or the execution by Borrower or any other Person of any such amendment or intercreditor agreement.
THE WRITTEN LOAN DOCUMENTS REPRESENT THE FINAL AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE PARTIES AND MAY NOT BE CONTRADICTED BY EVIDENCE OF PRIOR, CONTEMPORANEOUS OR SUBSEQUENT ORAL AGREEMENTS OF THE PARTIES.
THERE ARE NO UNWRITTEN ORAL AGREEMENTS BETWEEN THE PARTIES.

In making any disbursement from the Reserve Accounts, Administrative Agent shall be entitled to rely on any bill, statement or estimate procured from the appropriate public office, tax lien service, contractor, supplier, broker or insurance company or agent without any inquiry into the accuracy thereof and without any inquiry to the accuracy, validity, enforceability or contestability of any cost, expense, commission, assessment, lien or title or claim thereof. Administrative Agent reserves the right to make any disbursement from the Reserve Accounts directly to the party furnishing materials and/or services or other applicable payee, including tenants. The execution of this Agreement by Borrower shall, and hereby does, constitute an irrevocable authorization so to disburse Reserve Funds. No further direction or authorization from Borrower shall be necessary to warrant such direct disbursements.
10.Account for Disbursements.
Subject to Administrative Agent’s right to disburse Reserve Funds as provided in this Agreement and the provisions of Section 10 regarding direct disbursements, Administrative Agent will make disbursements of Reserve Funds into Owner’s Remittance Account. Borrower hereby irrevocably authorizes Administrative Agent to deposit any disbursement to the credit of Borrower in that account, by wire transfer or other deposit. Borrower further irrevocably authorizes Administrative Agent to pay and reimburse itself for any expenses incurred by Administrative Agent by debit to such account. Administrative Agent will issue monthly statements for the Reserve Accounts to Borrower reflecting the outstanding balances and monthly activity of each.
12. Use of Funds.
Without limiting Sections 16 or 20 below, Borrower hereby grants to Administrative Agent an irrevocable power-of-attorney, coupled with an interest, to pay and perform upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, any Office Tenant Improvements, Office Leasing Commissions, Office Leasing Costs, Real Estate Taxes, Insurance Premiums and FF&E Expenses, and to apply the amounts on deposit in the Reserve Accounts to the costs associated therewith, all as Administrative Agent may determine in its sole discretion but without obligation to do so.
13. No Assurances.
Administrative Agent’s disbursement of any Reserve Funds shall not be deemed a certification or warranty by Administrative Agent to Borrower or any other Person that any work or other matter that is the subject of the disbursement has been completed in accordance with applicable Laws or any agreement to which Borrower is a party or the Property is bound.
14. Insufficiency of Reserve Funds.
The insufficiency of any balance in any of the Reserve Accounts shall not relieve Borrower from its obligation to perform fully all covenants contained in each of the Loan Documents.
15. Interest.
(a) Subject to Section 15(b) below, any interest and other income on any Reserve Funds shall be credited to and accrue to the benefit of Borrower, shall be added to and become a part of the Reserve Account for such Reserve Funds and shall be disbursed in the same manner as other monies deposited in such Reserve Account. Administrative Agent shall maintain such Reserve Accounts or any funds deposited therein in interest-bearing accounts to the extent available; provided, however, that upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, Administrative Agent may elect not to hold any or all of the Reserve Accounts in interest-bearing accounts.
(b) In no event shall Administrative Agent be required to select any particular account or credit funds therein at the highest business savings or comparable rate of interest, or use any account deposits in which would be insured by the Federal Depositary Insurance Corporation or other Governmental Authority. Administrative Agent may, at its election, retain any such interest and other income for its own account upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default. Borrower agrees that it shall include all interest and other income to which it is entitled under the terms hereof on Reserve Funds as the income of Borrower (and, if Borrower is a partnership or other pass-through entity, the partners, members or beneficiaries of Borrower, as the case may be), and that it shall be the owner of the Reserve Funds for all purposes, including for federal and applicable state and local tax purposes, except to the extent that Administrative Agent retains any interest or other income on the Reserve Funds for its own account upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default as provided herein.
16. Grant of Security Interest.
Borrower hereby grants to Administrative Agent a first-priority perfected security interest in, and assigns and pledges to Administrative Agent, each of the Reserve Accounts and any and all Reserve Funds now or hereafter maintained in the Reserve Accounts and any and all “Investment Property” (as defined in the Uniform Commercial Code of each applicable jurisdiction) contained therein as collateral security for payment of the Obligations. The provisions of this Section 16 and other provisions of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents are intended to give Administrative Agent or any subsequent holder of the Loan “control” of the Reserve Accounts within the meaning of the Uniform Commercial Code of each applicable jurisdiction.
17. Financing Statements.
Borrower authorizes Administrative Agent to file any financing statement or statements required by Administrative Agent to establish or maintain the validity, perfection and priority of the
security interest granted herein in connection with the Reserve Funds, Investment Property and Reserve Accounts. Borrower agrees that at any time and from time to time, at the expense of Borrower, Borrower will promptly and duly execute and deliver all further instruments and documents, and take all further action that Administrative Agent may reasonably request, in order to perfect and protect any security interest granted or purported to be granted hereby or the priority thereof, to obtain or preserve the full benefits of this Agreement and the rights and powers herein granted, or to enable Administrative Agent to exercise and enforce its rights and remedies hereunder.
18. Control of Accounts.
The Reserve Accounts and any and all Reserve Funds and other Investment Property now or hereafter maintained in the Reserve Accounts shall be subject to the exclusive dominion and control of Administrative Agent, which shall hold the Reserve Accounts and any or all Reserve Funds now or hereafter deposited in the Reserve Accounts subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement. Neither Borrower nor any other Person claiming on behalf of or through Borrower shall have any right of withdrawal from the Reserve Accounts or any other right or power with respect to the Reserve Accounts or any or all of the Reserve Funds and Investment Property now or hereafter deposited or contained in the Reserve Accounts, except as expressly provided in this Agreement.
19. Disbursements.
Borrower shall use any Reserve Funds released to it solely for the applicable purposes of such Reserve Funds set forth herein. Borrower shall deliver to Administrative Agent a single draw request for all disbursement from each Reserve Account requested to be made in any month, and for each of the Reserve Account not more than one draw request per month for that Reserve Account; provided, further that there shall be not more than one disbursement to pay for Taxes and Insurance Premiums from the Tax and Insurance Reserve Account shall only be requested when the applicable Tax and/or Insurance Premium is due and payable.
20. Events of Default.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, Borrower shall have no right to receive disbursements from any Reserve Account upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, Administrative Agent may exercise any or all of its rights and remedies as a secured party, pledgee and lienholder with respect to the Reserve Accounts. Without limitation of the foregoing, upon and during the continuance of an Event of Default, Administrative Agent or the Required Lenders may use in its or their sole discretion, as applicable, and disburse the Reserve Funds (or any portion thereof), including for any of the following purposes: (a) repayment of the Obligations, including principal prepayments and prepayment premiums, if any, applicable to such full or partial prepayment; (b) reimbursement of Administrative Agent and Lenders for all losses, fees, costs and expenses (including reasonable legal fees) suffered or incurred by Administrative Agent or Lenders as a result of such Default; (c) payment of any amount expended in exercising any or all rights and remedies available to Administrative Agent and Lenders at law or in equity or under this Agreement or under any of the other Loan Documents; or (d) payment of any item required or permitted under this Agreement; provided, however, that any application of funds shall not cure or be deemed to cure any Event of Default. Without limiting any other provisions hereof, each of the remedial actions described in the immediately preceding sentence shall be deemed to be a commercially reasonable exercise of Administrative Agent’s and Lenders’ rights and remedies as a secured party, as applicable, with respect to the Reserve Funds, any Investment Property and the Reserve Accounts and shall not in any event be deemed to constitute a setoff or a foreclosure of a statutory banker’s lien. Nothing in this Agreement shall obligate Administrative Agent or Lenders to apply all or any portion of
the Reserve Funds or any Investment Property to effect a cure of any Event of Default, or to pay the Obligations, or in any specific order of priority. The exercise of any or all of Administrative Agent’s or Lenders’ rights and remedies under this Agreement or under any of the other Loan Documents shall not in any way prejudice or affect Administrative Agent’s or Lenders’ rights to initiate and complete a foreclosure under the Mortgage.
21. Administration.
The Reserve Funds shall not constitute escrow or trust funds but may not be commingled with other monies held by Administrative Agent. Notwithstanding anything else herein to the contrary, Administrative Agent will maintain the Reserve Funds in one or more Eligible Accounts that are not commingled with other funds held or controlled by Administrative Agent. With respect to the Reserve Accounts, Administrative Agent shall have no responsibility beyond the allowance of due credit for the sums actually received by Administrative Agent, appropriate interest accrual and the reimbursement or payment of the costs and expenses for which such Reserve Accounts were established in accordance with the terms of this Schedule 2. The requirements of this Agreement concerning the Reserve Accounts in no way supersede, limit or waive any other rights or obligations of the parties under any of the Loan Documents or under applicable Law.
22. No Pledges.
Borrower shall not further pledge, assign or grant any security interest in the Reserve Accounts or the Reserve Funds deposited therein or any Investment Property or permit any Lien to attach thereto, except for the security interest granted in Section 16 above, or any levy to be made thereon, or any UCC financing statements, except those naming Administrative Agent as the secured party, to be filed with respect thereto. Borrower shall maintain the security interest created by Section 16 above as a first priority perfected security interest and will defend the right, title and interest of Administrative Agent in and to the Reserve Accounts and the Reserve Funds and Investment Property against the claims and demands of all Persons whomsoever (other than Lenders).
23. Reliance.
Administrative Agent shall be protected in acting upon any notice, resolution, request, consent, order, certificate, report, opinion, bond or other paper, document or signature believed by Administrative Agent to be genuine, and it may be assumed conclusively that any Person purporting to give any of the foregoing in connection with the Reserve Accounts has been duly authorized to do so. Administrative Agent may consult with counsel, and the opinion of such counsel shall be full and complete authorization and protection in respect of any action taken or suffered by them hereunder and in good faith in accordance therewith. Administrative Agent shall not be liable to Borrower for any act or omission done or omitted to be done by Administrative Agent in reliance upon any instruction, direction or certification received by Administrative Agent and without gross negligence or willful misconduct.
24. No Duties.
Beyond the exercise of reasonable care in the custody thereof, Administrative Agent shall not have any duty as to any Reserve Funds or Investment Property in its possession or control as agent therefor or bailee thereof or any income thereon or the preservation of rights against any Person or otherwise with respect thereto. In no event shall Administrative Agent or any Lender or any of their respective Affiliates, agents, employees or bailees, be liable or responsible for any loss or damage to any of the Reserve Funds or Investment Property, or for any diminution in value thereof, by reason of the act or omission of Administrative Agent, such Lender or any such Affiliate, agents, employees or bailees,
except to the extent that such loss or damage is determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by final and nonappealable judgment to have resulted from such Person’s gross negligence or willful misconduct.
25. Third Parties.
Administrative Agent shall in no event be responsible or liable to any Person other than Borrower and, subject to the other terms and provisions in this Agreement, Lenders, for the disbursement of or failure to disburse Reserve Funds and no Person other than Borrower and, subject to the other terms and provisions in this Agreement, Lenders, shall have any right or claim against Administrative Agent under this Agreement or the other Loan Documents.

Borrower shall provide to Administrative Agent a correct and complete copy of each Lease, including any exhibits, and any guaranty(ies) thereof, prior to execution unless the Lease meets the foregoing requirements for “deemed” approval by Administrative Agent. Borrower shall pay all reasonable costs incurred by Administrative Agent in reviewing and approving Leases and any guaranties thereof, and also in negotiating subordination agreements and subordination, nondisturbance and attornment agreements with tenants, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs. Administrative Agent agrees that it will review any proposed Lease submitted to it for review promptly and will, within ten (10) Banking Days of the day the proposed Lease is submitted to Administrative Agent for review, either (i) approve the Lease, or (ii) provide Borrower with a statement containing reasonable detail as to the deficiencies of such proposed Lease in order for Borrower to address the issues and re-submit the Lease for approval by Administrative Agent. If Administrative Agent does not respond in writing within such ten (10) Banking Day period, then Borrower will provide to Administrative Agent an additional notice of such Lease request. If Administrative Agent does not respond in writing within a five (5) Banking Day period following receipt of such notice, then Administrative Agent shall be deemed to have approved the proposed Lease.
4. Delivery of Leasing Information and Documents.
From time to time upon Administrative Agent’s request, Borrower shall promptly deliver to Administrative Agent (a) complete copies of each executed Lease, including any exhibits thereto and any guaranty(ies) thereof, (b) a complete rent roll of the Property in such detail as Administrative Agent may reasonably require, together with such operating statements and leasing schedules and reports as Administrative Agent may reasonably require, (c) any and all financial statements of the tenants, subtenants and any lease guarantors to the extent available to Borrower, (d) such other information regarding tenants and prospective tenants and other leasing information as Administrative Agent may reasonably request in writing, and (e) to the extent provided by tenants, such estoppel certificates, subordination agreements and/or subordination, nondisturbance and attornment agreements executed by such tenants, subtenants and guarantors, if any, in such forms as Administrative Agent may reasonably require.

Schedule 7
Financial Covenants
Financial Covenants
Debt Service Coverage Ratio
1. Borrower shall maintain a Debt Service Coverage Ratio as of any Determination Date of at least 1.35 to 1.00. This ratio will be tested on each Determination Date.
2. If the Debt Service Coverage Ratio is less than 1.35 to 1.00, then Administrative Agent shall implement a Cash Sweep. As used herein, the “Cash Sweep” means Borrower’s delivery of one hundred percent (100%) of all Excess Cash Flow into an account maintained with Administrative Agent in Borrower’s name but under Administrative Agent’s sole dominion and control (the “Cash Sweep Account”). Commencing on the first Determination Date upon which Borrower provides to Administrative Agent financial statements showing a Debt Service Coverage Ratio of less than 1.35 to 1.00, Borrower shall deposit into the Cash Sweep Account all Excess Cash Flow received in any calendar month on or before the fifth (5th) day of the second month thereafter (except with respect to the Excess Cash Flow for the initial 3-month period preceding the Determination Date, which shall be deposited concurrently with the provision of the quarterly financial statements described above). Borrower shall continue to make such deposits until Borrower’s receipt of notice from Administrative Agent that the conditions set forth in Section 5 of this Schedule 7 have been satisfied. Administrative Agent shall promptly deliver such notice once such conditions have been satisfied.
3. If the Debt Service Coverage Ratio is less than 1.35 to 1.00 following two (2) consecutive Determination Dates, Borrower shall, within thirty (30) days after such second (2nd) Determination Date, prepay such principal amount as is required to achieve a Debt Service Coverage Ratio of 1.45 to 1.00 (redetermined as of such second (2nd) Determination Date and giving effect to said prepayment) and shall satisfy any conditions to prepayment. Borrower shall be allowed to use any available funds contained in the Cash Sweep Account at such time to assist with the required prepayment.
4. As security for payment of the Loan and the performance by Borrower of all other terms, conditions and provisions of the Loan Documents, Borrower hereby pledges and assigns to Administrative Agent, and grants to Administrative Agent a security interest in, all Borrower’s right, title and interest in and to all funds in the Cash Sweep Account. Borrower shall not, without obtaining the prior written consent of Administrative Agent, further pledge, assign or grant any security interest in any of the funds in the Cash Sweep Account, or permit any lien to attach thereto, or any levy to be made thereon, or any UCC Financing Statements to be filed thereon, except those naming Administrative Agent as the secured party, to be filed with respect thereto. This Agreement is, among other things, intended by the parties to be a security agreement for purposes of the UCC. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, Administrative Agent may apply all or any part of the funds in the Cash Sweep Account against the amounts outstanding under the Loan in any order and in any manner as Administrative Agent shall elect in Administrative Agent’s sole discretion without seeking the appointment of a receiver and without adversely affecting the rights of Administrative Agent to foreclose the liens and security interests securing the Loan or exercise its other rights under the Loan Documents. The funds in the Cash Sweep Account shall not constitute trust funds but will be held in a separate account and will not be commingled with other monies held by Administrative Agent. All interest which accrues on the funds in the Cash Sweep Account shall be at a rate established by Administrative Agent, which may or may not be the highest rate then available, shall accrue for the benefit of Borrower and shall be taxable to Borrower and shall be added to and disbursed in the same manner and under the same conditions as the principal sum on which said interest accrued.
5. At such time as Borrower achieves a Debt Service Coverage Ratio of at least 1.45 to 1.00 for two (2) consecutive Determination Dates, the Cash Sweep will terminate and, provided no Event of Default exists, any funds held in the Cash Sweep Account will be released to Borrower.
“Actual Operating Revenue” means, with respect to any period of time, the sum of the following without duplication:
(a) all income computed in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, collected (including by Hotel Manager on behalf of Borrower) from the ownership and operation of the Hotel Unit from whatever source (other than, solely for purposes of determining the Debt Service Coverage Ratio, any source affiliated with Borrower or Guarantor), including Rents, utility charges, escalations, service fees or charges, license fees, parking fees, and other required pass-throughs, but excluding solely for purposes of determining the Debt Service Coverage Ratio, (i) sales, use and occupancy or other taxes on receipts required to be accounted for by Borrower to any Governmental Authority, (ii) refunds from tenants or guests, (iii) uncollectible accounts, (iv) sales of furniture, fixtures and equipment, (v) interest income, (vi) Condemnation Awards, (vii) Insurance Proceeds (other than business interruption or other loss of income insurance), (viii) unforfeited security deposits, utility and other similar deposits, (ix) income from tenants not paying rent, (x) income from tenants in bankruptcy unless such tenant shall have affirmed its lease, (xi) tips, service charges, gratuities or similar amounts received by employees, and (xii) non-recurring or extraordinary income, including lease termination payments.

(b) all income (with respect to the Office Unit and Commercial Units, computed on an annualized basis in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for purposes of determining the Debt Service Coverage Ratio), collected from the ownership and operation of the Venue Unit, the Office Unit and the Commercial Units from whatever source (other than, solely for purposes of determining the Debt Service Coverage Ratio, any source affiliated with Borrower or any Guarantor provided, however, that all amounts paid by Stratus Properties Inc. under its lease in the Office Unit, all amounts paid by the Venue Unit for its use of office space to the Office Unit and all cash distributions from Stageside LLC attributable to Borrower will be included in the calculation of Debt Service Coverage Ratio), including Rents, utility charges, escalations, service fees or charges, license fees, parking fees, and other required pass-throughs, but excluding solely for purposes of determining the Debt Service Coverage Ratio, (i) sales, use and occupancy or other taxes on receipts required to be accounted for by Borrower to any Governmental Authority, (ii) refunds from tenants, (iii) uncollectible accounts, (iv) sales of furniture, fixtures and equipment, (v) interest income, (vi) Condemnation Awards, (vii) Insurance Proceeds (other than business interruption or other loss of income insurance), (viii) unforfeited security deposits, utility and other similar deposits, (ix) income from tenants not paying rent, (x) income from tenants in bankruptcy unless such tenant shall have affirmed its lease, (xi) tips, service charges, gratuities or similar amounts received by employees, and (xii) non-recurring or extraordinary income, including lease termination payments. Actual Operating Revenue shall be net of rent concessions and credits. Operating revenue derived from Office Unit and Commercial Unit tenants paying rent shall be calculated on a then-current basis at the Determination Date, and annualized for inclusion in the Actual Operating Revenue calculation. Actual Operating Revenue for the Office Units and the Commercial Units shall also be net of rent concessions and credits and shall be subject to appropriate seasonal and other adjustments in Administrative Agent’s reasonable discretion; and
(c) distributions received by Borrower from Stageside LLC collected by Stageside from its business at the Venue Unit from whatever source (other than, solely for purposes of determining the Debt Service Coverage Ratio, any source affiliated with Borrower or any Guarantor).
“Assumed Interest Rate” means the greatest of: (i) the Borrower’s actual borrowing rate, (ii) the annual yield payable on the last day of the applicable Calculation Period on ten (10) year United States Treasury obligations in amounts approximating the outstanding principal balance of the Loan at the inception of the Calculation Period plus two hundred fifty (250) basis points per annum, and (iii) six and one-quarter percent (6.25%) per annum.

“Determination Date” means each of March 31, June 30, September 30 and December 31 of each calendar year.
“Excess Cash Flow” means, with respect to any period of determination, the sum of (a) with respect to the Hotel Unit, for so long as the Hotel Management Agreement is in effect, all distributions made by Hotel Manager to Borrower pursuant to the Hotel Management Agreement (and if the Hotel Management Agreement is not in effect, all Net Operating Income from the Hotel Unit), plus (b) with respect to the Units other than the Hotel Unit, all Net Operating Income; excluding, however, Condemnation Awards and Insurance Proceeds, which shall be governed by Section 4.6 and certain event ticket presales reported on the Borrower’s Financial Statements as a liability reserved as working capital for the Venue Unit; and provided that Excess Cash Flow deposited into the Cash Sweep Account shall be net of any deposit actually made during the period of determination into the Owner’s Remittance Account up to an aggregate amount equal to the debt service then due and owing on the Loan and the payments then due and owing to any Swap Counterparty pursuant to any Swap Contract and net of any deposit actually made during the period of determination into any Reserve Account up to an aggregate amount equal to the deposits required to be made therein pursuant to this Agreement.
“Net Operating Income” means, for the applicable Calculation Period ending on the applicable Determination Date, the amount obtained by subtracting actual Operating Expenses (determined on a cash basis for purposes of Excess Cash Flow) from Actual Operating Revenue (determined on a cash basis for purposes of Excess Cash Flow) as such amount may be adjusted by Administrative Agent in its reasonable discretion based on Administrative Agent’s underwriting standards, including adjustments for vacancy allowance and other concessions. As used herein, “vacancy allowance” means an allowance for reductions in potential income attributable to vacancies, tenant turnover, and nonpayment of rent.
“Operating Expenses” means, with respect to any period of time, the total of all expenses actually paid or payable, computed on an annual basis in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for purposes of determining the Debt Service Coverage Ratio, of whatever kind relating to the ownership, operation, maintenance or management of the Property, including utilities, ordinary repairs and maintenance, insurance premiums, ground rents, if any, license fees, Taxes, Common Charges, advertising expenses, payroll and related taxes, management fees (solely for purposes of determining the Debt Service Coverage Ratio, equal to the greater of (i) actual management fees payable and (ii) three

Without limiting the foregoing, no payment made by Borrower pursuant to the Condominium Marketing License Agreement, or any other expenses with respect to the Residential Units, shall be Operating Expenses. Solely for purposes of determining the Debt Service Coverage Ratio, Operating Expenses shall also include a charge (applies to the Office Unit and Commercial Units only) which shall be the greater of (i) actual vacancy and collection loss or (ii) seven percent (7%) of gross rental income from the Office Unit and Commercial Units, a replacement reserve of $0.15 / square foot (applies to Office Unit and Commercial Units only), a tenant improvement / leasing commission reserve of $1.50 / square foot (applies to the Office Unit only) and a furniture, fixture and equipment reserve (applies to the Hotel Unit only) of not less than the FF&E Reserve Amount. Solely for purposes of determining the Debt Service Coverage Ratio, Operating Expenses shall be subject to appropriate seasonal and other adjustments in Administrative Agent’s reasonable discretion (including for annual tax and insurance accruals and any non-recurring items).

Schedule 14
Co-Lender and Agency Provisions
1. Appointment and Authorization of Administrative Agent.
(a) Each Lender hereby irrevocably (subject to Section 9 of this Schedule 14) appoints, designates and authorizes Administrative Agent to take such action on its behalf under the provisions of this Agreement and each other Loan Document and to exercise such powers and perform such duties as are expressly delegated to it by the terms of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, together with such powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. The term “agent” herein and in the other Loan Documents with reference to Administrative Agent is not intended to connote any fiduciary or other implied (or express) obligations arising under agency doctrine of any applicable Law. Instead, such term is used merely as a matter of market custom, and is intended to create or reflect only an administrative relationship between independent contracting parties.
(b) Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary contained elsewhere herein or in any other Loan Document, Administrative Agent shall not have any duties or responsibilities except those expressly set forth herein, and its duties and responsibilities shall be administrative in nature. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Administrative Agent and its Related Parties:
(i) shall not be subject to any fiduciary or other implied duties, regardless of whether a Default or an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, and no implied covenants, functions, responsibilities, obligations or liabilities shall be read into this Agreement or any other Loan Document or otherwise exist against Administrative Agent or its Related Parties (as defined below);
(ii) shall not have any duty to take any discretionary action or exercise any discretionary powers, except discretionary rights and powers expressly contemplated hereby or by the other Loan Documents that Administrative Agent is required to exercise as directed in writing by the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be expressly provided for herein or in the other Loan Documents), provided that Administrative Agent shall not be required to take any action that, in its opinion or the opinion of its counsel, may expose Administrative Agent to liability or that is contrary to any Loan Document or applicable Law, including for the avoidance of doubt any action that may be in violation of the automatic stay under any Debtor Relief Law (as defined below) or that may effect a forfeiture, modification or termination of property of a Defaulting Lender (as defined below) in violation of any Debtor Relief Law; and
(iii) shall not, except as expressly set forth herein and in the other Loan Documents, have any duty or responsibility to disclose, and shall not be liable for the failure to disclose, any information relating to Borrower, Guarantor or any of their Related Parties that is communicated to or obtained by the Person serving as Administrative Agent or any of its Related Parties in any capacity.
(c) No individual Lender or group of Lenders shall have any right to amend or waive, or consent to the departure of any party from any provision of any Loan Document, or secure or enforce the obligations of Borrower or any other party pursuant to the Loan Documents, or otherwise. All such rights, on behalf of Administrative Agent or any Lender or Lenders, shall be held and exercised solely by and at the option of Administrative Agent for the pro rata benefit of the Lenders. Such rights, however, are subject to the rights of a Lender or Lenders, as expressly set forth in this Agreement, to approve
matters or direct Administrative Agent to take or refrain from taking action as set forth in this Agreement. Except as expressly otherwise provided in this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, Administrative Agent shall have and may use its sole discretion with respect to exercising or refraining from exercising any discretionary rights, or taking or refraining from taking any actions which Administrative Agent is expressly entitled to exercise or take under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, including (i) the determination if and to what extent matters or items subject to Administrative Agent’s satisfaction are acceptable or otherwise within its discretion, (ii) the making of Administrative Agent Advances, and (iii) the exercise of remedies pursuant to, but subject to, Article VI or pursuant to any other Loan Document and any action so taken or not taken shall be deemed consented to by Lenders.
(d) In case of the pendency of any receivership, insolvency, liquidation, bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, adjustment, composition or other judicial proceeding relative to Borrower, Guarantor or any other Person liable for any part of the Indebtedness, no individual Lender or group of Lenders shall have the right, and Administrative Agent (irrespective of whether the principal of the Loan shall then be due and payable as herein expressed or by declaration or otherwise and irrespective of whether Administrative Agent shall have made any demand on Borrower or any other Person) shall be exclusively entitled and empowered on behalf of itself and the Lenders, by intervention in such proceeding or otherwise:
(i) to file and prove a claim for the whole amount of the principal and interest owing and unpaid in respect of the Loan and all other Obligations that are owing and unpaid and to file such other documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of Lenders and Administrative Agent (including any claim for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of Lenders and Administrative Agent and their respective agents and counsel and all other amounts due Lenders and Administrative Agent under Section 11 of this Schedule 14 allowed in such judicial proceeding; and
(ii) to collect and receive any monies or other property payable or deliverable on any such claims and to distribute the same;
and any custodian, receiver, assignee, trustee, liquidator, sequestrator or other similar official in any such judicial proceeding is hereby authorized by each Lender to make such payments to Administrative Agent and, in the event that Administrative Agent shall consent to the making of such payments directly to Lenders, to pay to Administrative Agent any amount due for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of Administrative Agent and its agents and counsel, and any other amounts due Administrative Agent under Section 11 of this Schedule 14.
Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to authorize Administrative Agent to authorize or consent to or accept or adopt on behalf of any Lender any plan of reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition affecting the Obligations or the rights of Lenders except as approved by the Required Lenders or to authorize Administrative Agent to vote in respect of the claims of Lenders except as approved by the Required Lenders in any such proceeding.
2. Delegation of Duties; Advice.
(a) Administrative Agent may execute any of its duties under this Agreement or any other Loan Document by or through one or more sub-agents appointed by Administrative Agent. Administrative Agent and any such sub-agent may perform any and all of its duties and exercise its rights and powers by or through their respective Related Parties. The exculpatory provisions of this Schedule 14 shall apply to any such sub-agent and to the Related Parties of Administrative Agent and any such sub-agent, and shall apply to their respective activities in connection with the syndication of the Loan as well
as activities as Administrative Agent. Administrative Agent shall not be responsible for the negligence or misconduct of any sub-agents except to the extent that a court of competent jurisdiction determines in a final and nonappealable judgment that Administrative Agent acted with gross negligence or willful misconduct in the selection of such sub-agents.
(b) Administrative Agent shall be entitled to advice of counsel and other consultant experts concerning all matters pertaining to such duties. Administrative Agent shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it in accordance with the advice of any such counsel or other consultant experts.
3. Liability of Administrative Agent. Neither Administrative Agent nor any Related Party of Administrative Agent shall (a) be liable for any action taken or omitted to be taken by any of them under or in connection with this Agreement or any other Loan Document or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby (i) with the consent or at the request of the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be necessary), or as Administrative Agent shall believe in good faith shall be necessary or (ii) in the absence of its own gross negligence or willful misconduct as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by final and nonappealable judgment, or (b) be responsible in any manner to any Lender for any recital, statement, representation or warranty made by Borrower, Guarantor, any subsidiary or Affiliate of Borrower or Guarantor, or any other Person, or any officer thereof, contained herein or in any other Loan Document, or in any certificate, report, statement or other document referred to or provided for in, or received by Administrative Agent under or in connection with, this Agreement or any other Loan Document, or the validity, effectiveness, genuineness, enforceability or sufficiency of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, or for any failure of Borrower or any other party to any Loan Document to perform its obligations hereunder or thereunder. Neither Administrative Agent nor any Related Party of Administrative Agent shall be under any obligation to any Lender or participant or any other Person to inspect the properties, books or records of Borrower, Guarantor, any of their Related Parties or any other Person, or to ascertain or inquire into (u) any statement, warranty or representation made in or in connection with this Agreement or any other Loan Document, (v) the contents of any certificate, report or other document delivered hereunder or thereunder or in connection herewith or therewith, (w) the performance or observance of any of the covenants, agreements or other terms or conditions set forth herein or therein or the occurrence of any Default, (x) the validity, enforceability, effectiveness or genuineness of this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any other agreement, instrument or document, or the creation, perfection or priority of any Lien purported to be created by the Loan Documents, (y) the value or the sufficiency of any collateral, or (z) the satisfaction of any condition set forth herein or therein, other than to confirm receipt of items expressly required to be delivered to the Administrative Agent.
4. Reliance by Administrative Agent; Authorized Signers. Administrative Agent is authorized to rely upon the continuing authority of the Authorized Signers to bind Borrower with respect to all matters pertaining to the Loan and the Loan Documents. Such authorization may be changed only upon written notice addressed to Administrative Agent accompanied by evidence, reasonably satisfactory to Administrative Agent, of the authority of the Person giving such notice. Such notice shall be effective not sooner than five (5) Banking Days following receipt thereof by Administrative Agent. Without limitation of the foregoing, Administrative Agent shall be entitled to rely, and shall be fully protected, and shall be indemnified by Lenders pursuant to Section 7 of this Schedule 14, in relying, upon any writing, resolution, notice, consent, certificate, affidavit, letter, telegram, facsimile, telex, telephone message, email or other electronic (including any Internet or intranet website posting or other distribution) communication, statement or other document or conversation believed by it to be genuine and correct and to have been signed, sent or made by the proper Person or Persons, and upon advice and statements of legal counsel (including counsel to any party to the Loan Documents), independent accountants and other experts selected by Administrative Agent. In determining compliance with any condition hereunder to the making of the Loan that by its terms must be fulfilled to the satisfaction of a Lender, Administrative
Agent may presume that such condition is satisfactory to such Lender unless Administrative Agent shall have received notice to the contrary from such Lender prior to the making of the Loan. For purposes of determining compliance with the conditions specified in the Closing Checklist, each Lender that has signed this Agreement shall be deemed to have consented to, approved or accepted or to be satisfied with, each document or other matter required thereunder to be consented to or approved by or acceptable or satisfactory to a Lender unless Administrative Agent shall have received notice from such Lender prior to the proposed Closing Date specifying its objections. Administrative Agent shall be fully justified in failing or refusing to take any action under this Agreement or any other Loan Document unless it shall first receive such advice or concurrence of the Required Lenders or all Lenders if required hereunder as it deems appropriate and, if it so requests, it shall first be indemnified to its satisfaction by Lenders against any and all liability and expense which may be incurred by it by reason of taking or continuing to take any such action. Administrative Agent shall in all cases be fully protected, and shall be indemnified by Lenders pursuant to Section 7 of this Schedule 14, in acting, or in refraining from acting, under this Agreement or any other Loan Document in accordance with a request or consent of the Required Lenders or such greater number of Lenders as may be expressly required hereby in any instance, and such request and any action taken or failure to act pursuant thereto shall be binding upon all Lenders. In the absence of written instructions from the Required Lenders or such greater number of Lenders, as expressly required hereunder, Administrative Agent may take or not take any action, at its discretion, unless this Agreement specifically requires the consent of the Required Lenders or such greater number of Lenders. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, in no event shall Administrative Agent be required to take any action that it determines may expose Administrative Agent to liability or that is contrary to any Loan Document or applicable Law, including for the avoidance of doubt any action that may be in violation of the automatic stay under any Debtor Relief Law or that may effect a forfeiture, modification or termination of property of a Defaulting Lender in violation of any Debtor Relief Law, and Administrative Agent shall be indemnified by Lenders pursuant to Section 7 of this Schedule 14 with respect to such determination.
5. Notice of Default. Administrative Agent shall not be deemed to have knowledge or notice of the occurrence of any Default or Event of Default unless Administrative Agent shall have received written notice from a Lender or Borrower referring to this Agreement and describing such Default or Event of Default, and Administrative Agent determines that such Default (if it were to become an Event of Default) or Event of Default will have a Material Adverse Effect. Administrative Agent will notify Lenders of its receipt of any such notice. Administrative Agent shall take such action with respect to any such Event of Default as may be requested by the Required Lenders in accordance with Article VII; provided, however, that unless and until Administrative Agent has received any such request, Administrative Agent may (but shall not be obligated to) take such action, or refrain from taking such action, with respect to such Event of Default as it shall deem advisable or in the best interest of Lenders.
6. Credit Decision; Disclosure of Information by Administrative Agent.
(a) Each Lender acknowledges that neither Administrative Agent nor any Related Party of Administrative Agent has made any representation or warranty to it, and that no act by Administrative Agent hereafter taken, including any consent to and acceptance of any assignment or review of the affairs of Borrower and Guarantor, shall be deemed to constitute any representation or warranty by Administrative Agent or any Related Party of Administrative Agent to any Lenders as to any matter, including whether Administrative Agent or any Related Party of Administrative Agent have disclosed material information in their possession. Each Lender represents to Administrative Agent that it has, independently and without reliance upon Administrative Agent or any Related Party of Administrative Agent and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own appraisal of an investigation into the business, prospects, operations, property, financial and other condition and creditworthiness of Borrower and Guarantor, and all applicable bank or other regulatory
Laws relating to the transactions contemplated hereby, and made its own decision to enter into this Agreement and to extend credit to Borrower and Guarantor hereunder. Each Lender also represents that it will, independently and without reliance upon Administrative Agent or any Related Party of Administrative Agent and based on such documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own credit analysis, appraisals and decisions in taking or not taking action under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and to make such investigations as it deems necessary to inform itself as to the business, prospects, operations, property, financial and other condition and creditworthiness of Borrower and Guarantor.
(b) Administrative Agent promptly after its receipt shall provide each Lender such notices, reports and other documents expressly required to be furnished to Lenders by Administrative Agent herein. To the extent not already available to a Lender, Administrative Agent shall also provide each Lender and/or make available for such Lender’s inspection during reasonable business hours and at such Lender’s expense, promptly after such Lender’s written request therefor: (i) copies of the Loan Documents; (ii) such information as is then in Administrative Agent’s possession in respect of the current status of principal and interest payments and accruals in respect of the Loan; (iii) copies of all current financial statements in respect of Borrower, Guarantor or other Person liable for payment or performance by Borrower of any obligations under the Loan Documents, then in Administrative Agent’s possession with respect to the Loan; and (iv) other current factual information then in Administrative Agent’s possession with respect to the Loan and bearing on the continuing creditworthiness of Borrower or Guarantor, or any of their respective Affiliates; provided that nothing contained in this Section shall impose any liability upon Administrative Agent for its failure to provide a Lender any of such Loan Documents, information, or financial statements, unless such failure constitutes willful misconduct or gross negligence on Administrative Agent’s part; and provided, further, that Administrative Agent shall not be obligated to provide any Lender with any information in violation of Law or any contractual restrictions on the disclosure thereof (provided such contractual restrictions shall not apply to distributing to a Lender factual and financial information expressly required to be provided herein). Except as set forth above, Administrative Agent shall not have any duty or responsibility to provide any Lenders with any credit or other information concerning the business, prospects, operations, property, financial and other condition or creditworthiness of Borrower or Guarantor or any of their respective Affiliates which may come into the possession of Administrative Agent or any Related Party of Administrative Agent.
7. Indemnification of Administrative Agent. Whether or not the transactions contemplated hereby are consummated, Lenders hereby indemnify Administrative Agent and each Related Party of Administrative Agent (to the extent not reimbursed by or on behalf of Borrower and without limiting the obligation of Borrower to do so), pro rata, and hold harmless Administrative Agent and each Related Party of Administrative Agent from and against any and all Indemnified Liabilities incurred by it, including before, during and after any foreclosure of the Mortgage, other exercise of rights and remedies or sale of the Property; provided, however, that no Lender shall be liable for the payment to Administrative Agent or any Related Party of Administrative Agent of any portion of such Indemnified Liabilities to the extent determined in a final, non-appealable judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from such Person’s own gross negligence or willful misconduct; provided, further, that no action taken in accordance with the directions of the Required Lenders shall be deemed to constitute gross negligence or willful misconduct for purposes of this Section 7. All payments on account of the foregoing shall be due and payable ten (10) days after demand by Administrative Agent therefor. Without limitation of the foregoing, to the extent that Administrative Agent is not reimbursed by or on behalf of Borrower, each Lender shall reimburse Administrative Agent within ten (10) days after demand for its ratable share of any costs or out-of-pocket expenses (including attorneys’ fees) incurred by Administrative Agent as described in Section 12 of Schedule 14. The undertaking in this Section 7 shall survive the resignation or replacement of Administrative Agent, any assignment of rights by, or the
replacement of, a Lender, the termination of the Commitments, the termination of this Agreement and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all Obligations.
8. Administrative Agent in Individual Capacity. Administrative Agent, in its individual capacity, and its Affiliates may make loans to, issue letters of credit for the account of, accept deposits from, acquire equity interests in and securities of, act as the financial advisor or in any other advisory capacity for and generally engage in any kind of banking, trust, financial, advisory, underwriting or other business with any party to the Loan Documents and their respective subsidiaries and other Affiliates as though Administrative Agent was not Administrative Agent hereunder, without notice to or consent of Lenders and without any duty to account therefor to Lenders. Lenders acknowledge that Borrower and Bank of America or its Affiliate have entered or may enter into Swap Transactions. Lenders shall have no right to share in any portion of any payments made by Borrower under the terms of such Swap Transactions (except and to the extent Lenders shall have participated with Bank of America or such Affiliate in such Swap Transactions). Lenders acknowledge that, pursuant to such activities, Bank of America or its Affiliates may receive information regarding any party to the Loan Documents, or their respective Affiliates (including information that may be subject to confidentiality obligations in favor of such parties or such parties’ Affiliates) and acknowledge that Administrative Agent shall be under no obligation to provide such information to them. With respect to its Pro Rata Share of the Loan, Bank of America shall have the same rights and powers under this Agreement as any other Lenders and may exercise such rights and powers as though it were not Administrative Agent or party to Swap Transactions, and the terms “Lender” and “Lenders” include Bank of America in its individual capacity.
9. Successor Administrative Agent. Administrative Agent may resign as Administrative Agent upon thirty (30) days’ notice to Lenders. Additionally, if the Person serving as Administrative Agent is a Defaulting Lender pursuant to clause (d) of the definition thereof, the Required Lenders may, to the extent permitted by applicable law, by notice in writing to Borrower and such Person, remove such Person as Administrative Agent. If Administrative Agent resigns or is so removed by the Required Lenders under this Agreement, the Required Lenders shall appoint from among Lenders a successor administrative agent for Lenders, which successor administrative agent shall be consented to by Borrower at all times other than during the existence of an Event of Default (which consent of Borrower shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed). Upon the acceptance by the successor administrative agent of its appointment as successor administrative agent hereunder, the retiring Administrative Agent’s resignation or removal, as applicable, shall be effective, such successor administrative agent shall succeed to all the rights, powers and duties of the retiring Administrative Agent and the term “Administrative Agent” shall mean such successor administrative agent, and the retiring Administrative Agent’s appointment, powers and duties as Administrative Agent shall be terminated. If no successor administrative agent has accepted appointment as Administrative Agent by the date which is thirty (30) days following a retiring Administrative Agent’s notice of resignation, or on or before the removal day specified by Required Lenders in their removal notice to Administrative Agent and Borrower, whichever applies, then the retiring Administrative Agent may appoint, after consulting with Lenders and Borrower, a successor administrative agent from among Lenders; provided, however, that the retiring Administrative Agent’s resignation or removal, as applicable, shall nevertheless become effective upon such thirtieth (30th) day, or upon the removal day set forth in Required Lenders’ removal notice, whichever applies, and on such day Lenders shall perform all of the duties of Administrative Agent hereunder until such time, if any, as Required Lenders appoint a successor agent as provided for above. After the effective date any retiring Administrative Agent’s resignation or removal hereunder as Administrative Agent, the provisions of this Schedule 14 and other applicable Sections of this Agreement shall inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was Administrative Agent under this Agreement.
10. Releases; Acquisition and Transfers of Collateral.
(a) Lenders hereby irrevocably authorize Administrative Agent to transfer or release any lien on, or after foreclosure or other acquisition of title by Administrative Agent on behalf of Lenders to transfer or sell, any collateral (i) upon the termination of the Commitments, the termination of all obligations of each Swap Counterparty to advance any funds under any Swap Contract, and payment and satisfaction in full of all Indebtedness; (ii) constituting a release, transfer or sale of a lien or collateral if Borrower will certify to Administrative Agent that the release, transfer or sale is permitted under this Agreement or the other Loan Documents (and Administrative Agent may rely conclusively on any such certificate, without further inquiry); or (iii) after foreclosure or other acquisition of title (1) in the discretion of Administrative Agent if a purchase price of at least ninety percent (90%) of the value indicated in the most recent appraisal of the collateral obtained by Administrative Agent and made in accordance with regulations governing Administrative Agent, less any reduction indicated in the appraised value estimated by any experts in the applicable areas engaged by Administrative Agent; or (2) if approved by the Required Lenders.
(b) If all or any portion of the collateral is acquired by foreclosure or by deed in lieu of foreclosure, Administrative Agent shall take title to the collateral in its name or by an Affiliate of Administrative Agent, but for the benefit of all Lenders in their Pro Rata Shares on the date of the foreclosure sale or recordation of the deed in lieu of foreclosure (the “Acquisition Date”). Administrative Agent and all Lenders hereby expressly waive and relinquish any right of partition with respect to any collateral so acquired. After any collateral is acquired, Administrative Agent shall appoint and retain one or more Persons (individually and collectively, the “OREO Property Manager”) experienced in the management, leasing, sale and/or disposition of similar properties.
(c) After consulting with the OREO Property Manager, Administrative Agent shall prepare a written plan for operation, management, improvement, maintenance, repair, sale and disposition of the collateral and a budget for the aforesaid, which may include a reasonable management fee payable to Administrative Agent (the “Business Plan”). Administrative Agent will deliver the Business Plan not later than the sixtieth (60th) day after the Acquisition Date to each Lender with a written request for approval of the Business Plan. If the Business Plan is approved by the Required Lenders, Administrative Agent and the OREO Property Manager shall adhere to the Business Plan until a different Business Plan is approved by the Required Lenders. Administrative Agent may propose an amendment to the Business Plan as it deems appropriate, which shall also be subject to Required Lender approval. If the Business Plan (as may be amended) proposed by Administrative Agent is not approved by the Required Lenders, or if sixty (60) days have elapsed following the Acquisition Date without a Business Plan being proposed by Administrative Agent, any Lender may propose an alternative Business Plan, which Administrative Agent shall submit to all Lenders for their approval. If an alternative Business Plan is approved by the Required Lenders, Administrative Agent may appoint one of the approving Lenders to implement the alternative Business Plan. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, unless in violation of an approved Business Plan or otherwise in an emergency situation, Administrative Agent shall, subject to Section 8.10(a), have the right but not the obligation to take any action in connection with the collateral (including those with respect to all Real Property Taxes, Insurance Premiums, operation, management, improvement, maintenance, repair, sale and disposition), or any portion thereof.
(d) Upon written request by Administrative Agent or Borrower at any time, Lenders will confirm in writing Administrative Agent’s authority to sell, transfer or release any such liens of particular types or items of collateral pursuant to this Section 10; provided, however, that (i) Administrative Agent shall not be required to execute any document necessary to evidence such release, transfer or sale on terms that, in Administrative Agent’s opinion, would expose Administrative Agent to liability or create any obligation or entail any consequence other than the transfer, release or sale without recourse, representation or warranty, and (ii) such transfer, release or sale shall not in any manner discharge, affect or impair the obligations of Borrower other than those expressly being released.
(e) If only two (2) Lenders exist at the time Administrative Agent receives a purchase offer for collateral, the consent of the Required Lenders is required pursuant to Section 10(a), and one of the Lenders does not consent within ten (10) Banking Days after notification from Administrative Agent, the consenting Lender may, in writing to the other Lender, offer (“Purchase Offer”) to purchase all of the non-consenting Lender’s right, title and interest in such collateral for a purchase price equal to the non-consenting Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the net proceeds anticipated from such sale of such collateral (as reasonably determined by Administrative Agent, including the undiscounted face principal amount of any purchase money obligation not payable at closing) (“Lender Net Sale Proceeds”). Within ten (10) Banking Days thereafter the non-consenting Lender shall be deemed to have accepted such Purchase Offer unless the non-consenting Lender notifies Administrative Agent that it elects to purchase all of the consenting Lender’s right, title and interest in such collateral for a purchase price payable by the non-consenting Lender in an amount equal to the consenting Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the Lender Net Sale Proceeds. Any amount payable hereunder by a Lender shall be due on the earlier to occur of the closing of the sale of such collateral or ninety (90) days after receipt by the non-consenting Lender of the Purchase Offer, regardless of whether such collateral is sold.
11. Application of Payments. Except as otherwise provided below with respect to Defaulting Lenders, aggregate principal and interest payments, payments for Indemnified Liabilities and/or foreclosure or sale of the collateral, and net operating income from the collateral during any period it is owned by Administrative Agent on behalf of Lenders (“Payments”) shall be apportioned pro rata among Lenders and payments of any fees (other than fees designated for Administrative Agent’s separate account) shall, as applicable, be apportioned pro rata among Lenders. All pro rata Payments shall be remitted to Administrative Agent and, all such payments not constituting payment of specific fees, and all proceeds of the collateral received by Administrative Agent, shall be applied first, to pay any fees, indemnities, costs, expenses (including those in Section 7 of this Schedule 14) and reimbursements then due to Administrative Agent from Borrower (including any of the foregoing constituting Administrative Agent Advances, together with interest thereon); second, to pay any fees, costs, expenses and reimbursements then due to Lenders from Borrower (including any of the foregoing constituting Administrative Agent Advances, together with interest thereon, reimbursed by Lenders); third, to pay (on a pari passu basis) pro rata interest and late charges due in respect of the Indebtedness; fourth, to pay (on a pari passu basis) or prepay pro rata principal of the Indebtedness; and last, to Borrower, if required by Law, or Lenders in Pro Rata Share percentages equal to their percentages at the termination of the Aggregate Commitments.
12. Administrative Agent Advances.
(a) Administrative Agent is authorized, from time to time, in Administrative Agent’s sole discretion to make, authorize or determine Additional Advances and other advances, or otherwise expend funds, on behalf of Lenders (“Administrative Agent Advances”), (i) to pay any costs, fees and expenses as described in Section 4.14 and 4.15, and (ii) when Administrative Agent deems necessary or desirable to preserve or protect the collateral or any portion thereof (including those with respect to Real Property Taxes, Insurance Premiums, operation, management, improvements, maintenance, repair, sale and disposition) (A) subject to Section 5 of this Schedule 14, after the occurrence of an Event of Default, and (B) subject to Section 10 of this Schedule 14, after acquisition of all or a portion of the collateral by foreclosure or otherwise.
(b) Administrative Agent Advances shall constitute obligatory advances of Lenders under this Agreement, shall be repayable on demand and secured by the collateral, and if unpaid by Lenders as set forth below shall bear interest at the rate applicable to such amount under the Loan or if no longer applicable, at the interest rate of the Loan. Administrative Agent shall notify each Lender in writing of each Administrative Agent Advance. Upon receipt of notice from Administrative Agent of its making of
an Administrative Agent Advance, each Lender shall make the amount of such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the outstanding principal amount of the Administrative Agent Advance available to Administrative Agent, in same day funds, to such account of Administrative Agent as Administrative Agent may designate, (i) on or before 3:00 p.m. (Administrative Agent’s Time) on the day Administrative Agent provides Lenders with notice of the making of such Administrative Agent Advance if Administrative Agent provides such notice on or before 12:00 p.m. (Administrative Agent’s Time), or (ii) on or before 12:00 p.m. (Administrative Agent’s Time) on the Banking Day immediately following the day Administrative Agent provides Lenders with notice of the making of such Administrative Agent Advance if Administrative Agent provides notice after 12:00 p.m. (Administrative Agent’s Time).
13. Defaulting Lender.
(a) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, if any Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, then, until such time as that Lender is no longer a Defaulting Lender, to the extent permitted by applicable Law:
(b) Such Defaulting Lender’s right to approve or disapprove any amendment, waiver or consent with respect to this Agreement shall be restricted as set forth in the definition of “Required Lenders.”
(c) Any payment of principal, interest, fees or other amounts received by Administrative Agent for the account of such Defaulting Lender (whether voluntary or mandatory, at maturity or otherwise) or received by Administrative Agent from a Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 7 of this Schedule 14 shall be applied at such time or times as may be determined by Administrative Agent as follows: first, to the payment of any amounts owing by such Defaulting Lender to Administrative Agent hereunder; second, as Borrower may request (so long as no Default or Event of Default exists), to the funding of any advance in respect of which such Defaulting Lender has failed to fund its portion thereof as required by this Agreement, as determined by Administrative Agent; third, if so determined by Administrative Agent and Borrower, to be held in a deposit account and released pro rata in order to satisfy such Defaulting Lender’s potential future funding obligations with respect to advances under this Agreement; fourth, to the payment of any amounts owing to the Lenders as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by any Lender against such Defaulting Lender as a result of such Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement; fifth, so long as no Default or Event of Default exists, to the payment of any amounts owing to Borrower as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by Borrower against such Defaulting Lender as a result of such Defaulting Lender's breach of its obligations under this Agreement; and sixth, to such Defaulting Lender or as otherwise directed by a court of competent jurisdiction; provided that if (x) such payment is a payment of the principal amount of any advances in respect of which such Defaulting Lender has not fully funded its appropriate share, and (y) such advances were made at a time when the conditions for same, if any, were satisfied or waived, such payment shall be applied solely to pay the advances of all Non-Defaulting Lenders on a pro rata basis prior to being applied to the payment of any advances of such Defaulting Lender until such time as all advances are held by the Lenders pro rata in accordance with the Commitments hereunder. Any payments, prepayments or other amounts paid or payable to a Defaulting Lender that are applied (or held) to pay amounts owed by a Defaulting Lender shall be deemed paid to and redirected by such Defaulting Lender, and each Lender irrevocably consents hereto.
(d) If Borrower and Administrative Agent agree in writing that a Lender is no longer a Defaulting Lender, Administrative Agent will so notify the parties hereto, whereupon as of the effective date specified in such notice and subject to any conditions set forth therein, that Lender will, to the extent applicable, purchase at par that portion of outstanding advances of the other Lenders or take such other actions as Administrative Agent may determine to be necessary to cause the Commitments (and
outstanding principal balance of all advances) to be held on a pro rata basis by the Lenders in accordance with their Pro Rata Shares, whereupon such Lender will cease to be a Defaulting Lender; provided that no adjustments will be made retroactively with respect to fees accrued or payments made by or on behalf of Borrower while that Lender was a Defaulting Lender; and provided, further, that except to the extent otherwise expressly agreed by the affected parties, no change hereunder from Defaulting Lender to Lender will constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder arising from that Lender’s having been a Defaulting Lender.
14. Benefit. The terms and conditions of this Schedule 14 are inserted for the sole benefit of Administrative Agent and Lenders; the same may be waived in whole or in part, with or without terms or conditions, without prejudicing Administrative Agent’s or Lenders’ rights to later assert them in whole or in part.
15. Co-Administrative Agents; Lead Managers. None of the Lenders or other Persons identified on the facing page or signature pages of this Agreement as a “syndication agent,” “documentation agent,” “co agent,” “book manager,” or “lead manager,” “arranger,” “lead arranger” or “co-arranger” shall have any right, power, obligation, liability, responsibility or duty under this Agreement other than, in the case of such lenders, those applicable to all Lenders as such. Without limiting the foregoing, none of the Lenders or other Persons so identified as a “syndication agent,” “documentation agent,” “co-agent” or “lead manager” shall have or be deemed to have any fiduciary relationship with any Lenders. Each Lender acknowledges that it has not relied, and will not rely, on any of Lenders or other Persons so identified in deciding to enter into this Agreement or in taking or not taking action hereunder.
16. Lender Participation in Swap Transactions. If Borrower enters into any Swap Transaction and Swap Contract with one or more Lenders, such Lender(s) shall notify each other then-existing Lender of the terms of each such Swap Transaction and each then-existing Lender (other than a Defaulting Lender) shall have the right in its sole discretion to participate in each such Swap Transaction pro rata according to such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the amount of the applicable Swap Transaction. All such participation interests shall be governed pursuant to separate documentation.
17. Swap Contracts. Except as otherwise expressly set forth herein, no Lender that obtains the benefit of the provisions of Section 11 of this Schedule 14 or any collateral by virtue of the provisions hereof or any Loan Document shall have any right to notice of any action or to consent to, direct or object to any action hereunder or under any other Loan Document or otherwise in respect of the collateral (including the release or impairment of any collateral) (or to notice of or to consent to any amendment, waiver or modification of the provisions hereof or any Loan Document) other than in its capacity as a Lender and, in such case, only to the extent expressly provided in the Loan Documents. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Schedule 14 to the contrary, Administrative Agent shall not be required to verify the payment of, or that other satisfactory arrangements have been made with respect to, Obligations arising under Swap Contracts except to the extent expressly provided herein. Administrative Agent shall not be required to verify the payment of, or that other satisfactory arrangements have been made with respect to, Obligations arising under Swap Contracts.
18. Assignments and Participations.
(a) Any Lender may assign to one or more assignees all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment and Pro Rata Share of the Loan at the time owing to it); provided that any such assignment shall be subject to the following conditions:
(i) in the case of an assignment of the entire remaining amount of the assigning Lender’s Commitment and Pro Rata Share of the Loan at the time owing to it or contemporaneous assignments to related Approved Funds that equal at least the amount specified in Section 18(a)(ii) in the aggregate or in the case of an assignment to a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund, no minimum amount need be assigned; and
(ii) in any case not described in Section 18(a)(i), the aggregate amount of the Commitment (which for this purpose includes the Pro Rata Share of the Loan outstanding) or, if the Commitment is not then in effect, the principal outstanding Pro Rata Share of the Loan that is subject to each such assignment, determined as of the date the “Effective Date” specified in the Assignment and Assumption, shall not be less than $10,000,000 unless Administrative Agent otherwise consents (each such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed).
(iii) Each partial assignment shall be made as an assignment of a proportionate part of all the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement with respect to its Pro Rata Share of the Loan and the Commitment assigned.
(iv) In addition to any consent required by Section 18(a)(ii), the consent of Administrative Agent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) shall be required if such assignment is to a Person that is not a Lender, an Affiliate of such Lender or an Approved Fund with respect to such Lender.
(v) The parties to each assignment shall execute and deliver to Administrative Agent an Assignment and Assumption, together with a processing and recordation fee in the amount of $3,500; provided, however, that Administrative Agent may, in its sole discretion, elect to waive such processing and recordation fee in the case of any assignment. The assignee, if it is not a Lender, shall deliver to Administrative Agent an Administrative Questionnaire.
(vi) No such assignment shall be made (A) to Borrower, Guarantor or any other Person liable for any part of the Obligations or any of Affiliate of the foregoing, (B) to any Defaulting Lender or any of its subsidiaries, or any Person who, upon becoming a Lender hereunder, would constitute any of the foregoing Persons described in this clause (B), or (C) to a natural Person.
(v) In connection with any assignment of rights and obligations of any Defaulting Lender hereunder, no such assignment shall be effective unless and until, in addition to the other conditions thereto set forth herein, the parties to the assignment shall make such additional payments to Administrative Agent in an aggregate amount sufficient, upon distribution thereof as appropriate (which may be outright payment, purchases by the assignee of participations or subparticipations, or other compensating actions, including funding, with the consent of Borrower and Administrative Agent, the applicable Pro Rata Share of the Loan previously requested but not funded by the Defaulting Lender, to each of which the applicable assignee and assignor hereby irrevocably consent), to (x) pay and satisfy in full all payment liabilities then owed by such Defaulting Lender to Administrative Agent or any Lender hereunder (and interest accrued thereon) and (y) acquire (and fund as appropriate) its full Pro Rata Share of the Loan. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that any assignment of rights and obligations of any Defaulting Lender hereunder shall become effective under applicable Law without compliance with the provisions of this Section 9.7(c), then the assignee of such interest shall be deemed to be a Defaulting Lender for all purposes of this Agreement until such compliance occurs.
(b) Subject to acceptance and recording thereof by Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 18(a), from and after the effective date specified in each Assignment and Assumption, the assignee thereunder shall be a party to this Agreement and, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, have the rights and obligations of a Lender under this Agreement, and the assigning Lender thereunder shall, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, be released from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and Assumption covering all of the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, such Lender shall cease to be a party hereto but shall continue to be entitled to the benefits of this Agreement with respect to Borrower’s obligations surviving termination of this Agreement); provided, that except to the extent otherwise expressly agreed by the affected parties, no assignment by a Defaulting Lender will constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder arising from that Lender’s having been a Defaulting Lender. Any assignment or transfer by a Lender of rights or obligations under this Agreement that does not comply with this Section 18 shall be treated for purposes of this Agreement as a sale by such Lender of a participation in such rights and obligations in accordance with Section 18(c).
(c) Any Lender may at any time, without the consent of, or notice to, Administrative Agent, sell participations to any Person (other than a natural Person, a Defaulting Lender, Borrower, Guarantor or any Affiliate of Borrower or Guarantor) (each, a “Participant”) in all or a portion of such Lender’s rights and/or obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment and/or its Pro Rata Share of the Loan owing to it); provided that (i) such Lender’s obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (ii) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations, (iii) Borrower, Administrative Agent and Lenders shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement. For the avoidance of doubt, each Lender shall be responsible for the indemnities under this Schedule 14 without regard to the existence of any participation. Any agreement or instrument pursuant to which a Lender sells such a participation shall provide that such Lender shall retain the sole right to enforce this Agreement and to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement; provided that such agreement or instrument may provide that such Lender will not, without the consent of the Participant, agree to any amendment, waiver or other modification described in the second proviso of Section 19 of this Schedule 14 that affects such Participant. Each Lender that sells a participation shall, acting solely for this purpose as an agent of Borrower, maintain a register on which it enters the name and address of each Participant and the principal amount (and stated interest) of each Participant’s interest in the Loan or other obligations under the Loan Documents (the “Participant Register”); provided that no Lender shall have any obligation to disclose all or any portion of the Participant Register (including the identity of any Participant or any information relating to a Participant’s interest in any commitments, loans, letters of credit or its other obligations under any Loan Document) to any Person except to the extent that such disclosure is necessary to establish that such commitment, loan, letter of credit or other obligation is in registered form under Section 5f.103-1(c) of the United States Treasury Regulations. The entries in the Participant Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and such Lender shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Participant Register as the owner of such participation for all purposes of this Agreement notwithstanding any notice to the contrary. For the avoidance of doubt, Administrative Agent (in its capacity as Administrative Agent) shall have no responsibility for maintaining a Participant Register.
(e) Administrative Agent may assign and delegate its interests herein and may also resign or be replaced by a successor or replacement agent (in each case as between Administrative Agent and Lenders only, subject to Article VIII). Upon the acceptance by the successor administrative agent of its appointment as successor administrative agent hereunder, the retiring Administrative Agent’s resignation or removal, as applicable, shall be effective, such successor administrative agent shall succeed to all the rights, powers and duties of the retiring Administrative Agent and the term “Administrative Agent” shall mean such successor administrative agent, and the retiring Administrative Agent’s appointment, powers
and duties as Administrative Agent shall be terminated. After the effective date any retiring Administrative Agent’s resignation or removal hereunder as Administrative Agent, the provisions of this Agreement shall inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was Administrative Agent under this Agreement.
19. Amendments, Consents and Waivers. Administrative Agent may amend or waive any provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, or consent to any departure by any party to the Loan Documents therefrom which amendment, waiver or consent is intended to be within Administrative Agent’s discretion or determination, or otherwise in Administrative Agent’s reasonable determination shall not have a Material Adverse Effect. Any other amendment, waiver or consent shall require the written consent of the Required Lenders; provided, however, that no such amendment, waiver or consent shall:
(a) extend or increase the Commitment of any Lender (or reinstate any Commitment terminated by the exercise of remedies hereunder by Administrative Agent), without the written consent of such Lender (it being understood that a waiver of a Default or Event of Default shall not constitute an extension or increase in any Lender’s Commitment);
(b) postpone any date fixed by this Agreement or any other Loan Document for any payment of principal, interest, fees or other amounts due to Lenders (or any of them) hereunder or under any other Loan Document, without the written consent of each Lender directly affected thereby;
(c) reduce the principal of, or the rate of interest specified herein on, any portion of the Loan, or any fees or other amounts payable hereunder or under any other Loan Document, without the written consent of each Lender directly affected thereby; provided, however, that Administrative Agent may waive any obligation of Borrower to pay interest at the Default Rate and/or late charges for periods of up to thirty (30) days, and only the consent of the Required Lenders shall be necessary to waive any obligation of Borrower to pay interest at the Default Rate or late charges thereafter, or to amend the definition of “Default Rate” or “late charges”;
(d) change the percentage of the combined Commitments or of the aggregate unpaid principal amount of the Loan which is required for the Lenders or any of them to take any action hereunder, without the written consent of each Lender;
(e) change the definition of “Pro Rata Share” or “Required Lenders” or any other provision hereof specifying the number or percentage of Lenders required to amend, waive or otherwise modify any rights hereunder or make any determination or grant any consent hereunder, without the written consent of each Lender;
(f) amend this Schedule 14 without the written consent of each Lender;
(g) permit the sale, transfer, pledge, mortgage or assignment of any collateral for the Loan or any direct or indirect interest in Borrower, except as expressly permitted under the Loan Documents, without the written consent of each Lender; or
(h) transfer or release any lien on, or after foreclosure or other acquisition of title by Administrative Agent on behalf of the Lenders transfer or sell, any collateral for the Loan except as permitted in Section 10 of this Schedule 14, without the prior written consent of each Lender,
and provided, further, that no amendment, waiver or consent shall, unless in writing and signed by Administrative Agent in addition to the Lenders required above, affect the rights or duties of
Administrative Agent under this Agreement or any other Loan Document. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, no Defaulting Lender shall have any right to approve or disapprove any amendment, waiver or consent hereunder (and any amendment, waiver or consent which by its terms requires the consent of all Lenders or each affected Lender may be effected with the consent of the applicable Lenders other than Defaulting Lenders), except that (x) the Commitment of any Defaulting Lender may not be increased or extended without the consent of such Lender and (y) any waiver, amendment or modification requiring the consent of all Lenders or each affected Lender that by its terms affects any Defaulting Lender disproportionately adversely relative to other affected Lenders shall require the consent of such Defaulting Lender.
20. Tax Indemnity. Each Lender shall, and does hereby, severally indemnify, and shall make payment in respect thereof within ten (10) days after demand therefor, (a) Administrative Agent against any Indemnified Taxes attributable to such Lender, (b) Administrative Agent against any Lender Taxes attributable on account of any participation of the Loan and (c) Administrative Agent against any Excluded Taxes attributable to such Lender, in each case, that are payable or paid by Administrative Agent in connection with any Loan Document, and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Lender Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to any Lender by Administrative Agent shall be conclusive absent manifest error. Each Lender hereby authorizes Administrative Agent to set off and apply any and all amounts at any time owing to such Lender as the case may be, under this Agreement or any other Loan Document against any amount due to Administrative Agent under this Section 20.
21. Definitions.
