W I T N E S S E T H :
WHEREAS, Borrower desires to obtain the Loan from Lender; and
WHEREAS, Lender is willing to make the Loan to Borrower, subject to and in accordance with the conditions and terms of the Loan Documents.
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the covenants set forth in this Agreement, and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto hereby agree, represent and warrant as follows:
ARTICLE 1: DEFINITIONS; PRINCIPLES OF CONSTRUCTION
Section 1.1    Definitions.
For all purposes of this Agreement, except as otherwise expressly provided herein, all capitalized terms used in this Agreement shall have the respective meanings set forth on Schedule I attached hereto.
Section 1.2    Principles of Construction.
All references to sections and schedules are to sections and schedules in or to this Agreement unless otherwise specified. Unless otherwise specified, the words “hereof,” “herein” and “hereunder” and words of similar import when used in this Agreement shall refer to this Agreement as a whole and not to any particular provision of this Agreement and the word “including” shall mean “including but not limited to”. Unless otherwise specified, all meanings attributed to defined terms herein shall be equally applicable to both the singular and plural forms of the terms so defined.
ARTICLE 2: THE LOAN
Section 2.1    The Loan.
2.1.1    Agreement to Lend and Borrow. Subject to and upon the terms and conditions set forth herein, Lender shall make the Initial Loan to Borrower and Borrower shall accept the Initial Loan from Lender on the Closing Date.





2.1.2    The Note. The Initial Loan shall be evidenced by that certain Promissory Note (Mezzanine) of even date herewith in the stated principal amount of up to Twenty Five Million and No/100 Dollars ($25,000,000.00) executed by Borrower and payable to the order of Lender in evidence of the Initial Loan (as the same may hereafter be amended, supplemented, restated, increased, extended or consolidated from time to time, the “Note”) and shall be repaid in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and the Note.
2.1.3    Additional Advances. Subject to and upon the terms and conditions set forth herein, Lender may make additional advances of principal to Borrower (each such advance, an “Additional Advance” and in the aggregate, “Additional Advances”) as follows:
(a)    Capital Expenditures. Borrower may request an Additional Advance on the Note from Lender to pay for capital expenditures made at the Property, as and when due. Lender may, in its sole discretion, provide such Additional Advance and add such amount to the principal balance of the Note. Nothing herein shall require Borrower or an Affiliate of Borrower to contribute funds to pay for such capital expenditures.
(b)    Operating Expenses. In the event that Property Revenue is not sufficient to permit the Manager to conduct the Management Activities and pay the Operating Expenses, and the Senior Borrower elects not to contribute in cash the amount necessary to fund such shortfall, then Borrower shall request an Additional Advance on the Note from Lender to fund such shortfall, and Lender may, in its sole discretion, provide such Additional Advance and add such amount to the principal balance of the Note. Nothing herein shall require Borrower or an Affiliate of Borrower to contribute funds to cover such shortfall.
(c)    Interest Payments. Each Monthly Payment Date, the difference between (i) the interest accrued on the Note during the Interest Period ending immediately prior to such Monthly Payment Date at the Interest Rate, and (ii) the Monthly Cash Payment (or actual amount paid, if less than the Monthly Cash Payment) paid to Lender on such Monthly Payment Date, shall be advanced to Borrower for payment on the Note and such amount shall be added to the principal balance of the Future Advance Note as an Additional Advance.
2.1.4    Use of Proceeds. Borrower shall use the proceeds of the Loan to pay and discharge any existing loans, if any, relating to the Collateral, make distributions to Sole Member and otherwise use such proceeds for any lawful purpose.
Section 2.2    Interest Rate.
2.2.1    Interest Rate. Subject to the further provisions of this Agreement, including, without limitation, Sections 2.2.2 and 2.2.4 hereof, the Outstanding Principal Balance shall bear interest throughout the Term at the Interest Rate. For applicable tax and accounting purposes, each party shall determine and apply the effective interest rate pursuant to the “Original Issue Discount” rules found within Section 1272 et seq. of the Internal Revenue Code and the accompanying Treasury Regulations.
2.2.2    Default Rate. In the event that, and for so long as, any Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Outstanding Principal Balance and, to the extent permitted by law,

2




overdue interest in respect of the Loan, shall, at Lender’s election, accrue interest at the Default Rate, calculated from the date the Default occurred which led to such Event of Default, without regard to any grace or cure periods contained herein. Interest at the Default Rate shall be paid immediately upon demand, which demand may be made as frequently as Lender shall elect.
2.2.3    Interest Calculation. Interest on the Outstanding Principal Balance shall be calculated by multiplying (a) the actual number of days elapsed in the period for which the calculation is being made by (b) a daily rate based on a three hundred sixty (360) day year (that is, the Interest Rate or the Default Rate, as then applicable, expressed as an annual rate divided by 360) by (c) the Outstanding Principal Balance. The accrual period for calculating interest due on each Monthly Payment Date shall be the Interest Period immediately prior to such Monthly Payment Date.
2.2.4    Usury Savings. The Loan Documents are subject to the express condition that at no time shall Borrower be required to pay interest on the principal balance of the Loan at a rate which could subject Lender to either civil or criminal liability as a result of being in excess of the Maximum Legal Rate. If by the terms of the Loan Documents, Borrower is at any time required or obligated to pay interest on the principal balance due hereunder at a rate in excess of the Maximum Legal Rate, the Interest Rate or the Default Rate, as the case may be, shall be deemed to be immediately reduced to the Maximum Legal Rate and all previous payments in excess of the Maximum Legal Rate shall be deemed to have been payments in reduction of principal and not on account of the interest due hereunder. All sums paid or agreed to be paid to Lender for the use, forbearance, or detention of the sums due under the Loan, shall, to the extent permitted by any Legal Requirements, be amortized, prorated, allocated and spread throughout the full stated term of the Loan until payment in full so that the rate or amount of interest on account of the Loan does not exceed the Maximum Legal Rate from time to time in effect and applicable to the Loan for so long as the Loan is outstanding.
Section 2.3    Loan Payments; Term of Loan.
2.3.1    Payments Before Stated Maturity Date. Commencing on the Monthly Payment Date occurring in December, 2012 and on each Monthly Payment Date thereafter throughout the Term, (a) Borrower shall make a monthly payment to Lender of one-twelfth (1/12) of two percent of the outstanding principal balance of the Note (each such payment, a “Monthly Cash Payment”), which payments shall be applied to accrued and unpaid interest, and (b) the difference between the interest accrued during the applicable Interest Period at the Interest Rate and the Monthly Cash Payment made by Borrower to Lender shall be advanced to Borrower by Lender and treated as an Additional Advance and added to the principal balance of the Future Advance Note. On the first Monthly Payment Date, Borrower shall make a payment to Lender of interest only for the period from the Closing Date through and including the day immediately prior to the first Monthly Payment Date, one-twelfth (1/12) of such payment shall be paid by Borrower in cash and eleven-twelfths (11/12) shall be treated as an Additional Advance on the Future Advance Note. In addition, it is acknowledged and agreed that the Management Agreement provides for Manager to cause Senior Borrower to distribute to Borrower the amount needed to pay the Monthly Cash Payment and such additional sums in excess of the amount needed to make the Monthly Cash Payment, after payment of Operating Expenses, debt service payments on the Senior Loan (and any other amounts payable pursuant to the Senior Loan Documents), and payment of the Property Management Fee. To the extent provided in the Management Agreement, Borrower shall be permitted, from time to time, to

3




distribute to Sole Member up to such amount as will cause the total cumulative distributions to Sole Member to equal One Hundred Thirty-Five Thousand and 00/100 ($135,000.00) Dollars per calendar year. All additional distributions which Borrower receives from Senior Borrower after payment of all Asset Management Fees and expense reimbursements and after establishment of all necessary reserves, as provided in the Management Agreement, shall be paid to Lender (“Additional Payments”). The Additional Payments shall be applied by Lender first to accrued and unpaid interest (if any) on the Future Advance Note, then to accrued and unpaid interest on the Note, then to repayment of the principal amount of the Future Advance Note and then to repayment of principal on the Note; provided, however, that upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, Lender may apply the Additional Payments in any order or proportion as Lender may determine in its sole discretion. Further, to the extent the Additional Payments are applied to principal on the Note, an allocable portion of the Exit Points and Prepayment Premium shall apply to such payment(s), to the extent of such payment(s). To the extent the Additional Payments are applied to principal on the Future Advance Note an allocable portion of the Exit Points (but not the Prepayment Premium) shall apply to such payment(s). In no event shall Borrower be required to fund an additional amount to pay such Exit Points or Prepayment Premium as a result of the application of such Additional Payments to the principal on the Note or the Future Advance Note. All amounts due under this Agreement, the Future Advance Note and the Note shall be payable without setoff, counterclaim or any other deduction whatsoever. Lender shall have the right from time to time, in its sole discretion, upon not less than thirty (30) days prior written notice to Borrower, to change the Monthly Payment Date to a different calendar day each month which is not more than five (5) days earlier nor more than ten (10) days later than the first (1st) day of each calendar month. Each interest accrual period (the “Interest Period”) thereafter shall commence on the first (1st) day of each calendar month during the Term and shall end on and include the last day of the such calendar month; provided, however, that if Lender shall have elected to change the Monthly Payment Date as aforesaid, Lender shall have the option, but not the obligation, to adjust the interest accrual period correspondingly.
2.3.2    Payment on Maturity Date. The Loan shall mature on the Maturity Date. Borrower shall pay to Lender on the Maturity Date the Outstanding Principal Balance, all accrued and unpaid interest and all other amounts due under the Loan Documents, including the Exit Points.
2.3.3    Late Payment Charge. If any Monthly Cash Payment is not paid by Borrower within five (5) days following the date on which it is due, Borrower shall pay to Lender upon demand an amount equal to the lesser of five percent (5%) of such unpaid sum or the maximum amount permitted by any Legal Requirements, in order to defray the expense incurred by Lender in handling and processing such delinquent payment and to compensate Lender for the loss of the use of such delinquent payment, unless such delay is caused directly by Manager. Any such amount shall be secured by the Pledge and the other Loan Documents. In no event shall such late payment charge apply to the balloon payment due on the Maturity Date or to any Additional Payments.
2.3.4    Exit Points. Regardless of when the Outstanding Principal Balance is repaid, whether in whole or in part, whether voluntarily, involuntarily, by reason of acceleration or otherwise, Borrower must pay the Exit Points to Lender.


4




2.3.5    Method and Place of Payment.
(a)    Except as otherwise specifically provided herein, all payments and prepayments under this Agreement, the Future Advance Note and the Note shall be made to Lender on the date when due and shall be made in lawful money of the United States of America in immediately available funds at Lender’s office or at such other place as Lender shall from time to time designate.
(b)    Whenever any payment to be made under any Loan Document shall be stated to be due on a day which is not a Business Day, the due date thereof shall be the immediately preceding Business Day.
(c)    All payments required to be made by Borrower under the Loan Documents shall be made irrespective of, and without deduction for, any setoff, claim or counterclaim and shall be made irrespective of any defense thereto.
2.3.6    Cash Management Period. So long as a Cash Management Period (as defined in the Senior Loan Agreement) is not then in effect, if the Borrower fails to pay the Monthly Cash Payment to Lender, due to insufficient funds available from operation of the Property, then the Borrower shall not be deemed to be in Default; provided, however, Lender may institute a cash sweep of all excess cash flow (after required payments are made on the Senior Loan) generated by the Property. Such excess cash flow will be deposited into an account controlled by Lender, pursuant to a deposit account control agreement to be entered into by Lender, Borrower, and a depository institution. In the event excess cash flow is deposited into such account, Lender shall disburse all funds in such account at the request of the Manager in order for such funds to be utilized in connection with the Property. Lender shall send notice to Borrower and Manager to inform them of the occurrence of the cash sweep described in this Section 2.3.6. Borrower shall execute and deliver to Lender such documents and do such other acts as Lender deems necessary or desirable, to evidence and effectively carry out the intent and purpose of this Section 2.3.6.
Section 2.4    Prepayments.
2.4.1    Voluntary Prepayments.
(a)    Except as otherwise provided herein, Borrower shall not have the right to prepay the Loan in whole or in part.
(b)    Subject to Section 2.3.4 and Section 2.4.3 hereof, on the Open Prepayment Date, and on any Business Day thereafter, Borrower may, at its option and upon not less than thirty (30) days irrevocable prior notice to Lender, prepay the Outstanding Principal Balance in whole, but not in part, without payment of the Prepayment Premium, so long as the Senior Borrower repays or defeases the Senior Loan concurrently therewith.
(c)    Subject to Section 2.3.4 and Section 2.4.3 hereof, on and after the seventh (7th) anniversary of the Closing Date, Borrower may, at its option and upon not less than thirty (30) days irrevocable prior notice to Lender, prepay the Outstanding Principal Balance in whole, but not in part, together with payment of the Prepayment Premium, so long as the Senior Borrower repays or defeases the Senior Loan concurrently therewith.

5




(d)    Any prepayment received by Lender under this Section 2.4.1 shall be accompanied by (a) the Exit Points, (b) all other sums due and payable under the Loan Documents, and (c) all out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred by Lender in connection with such prepayment.
2.4.2    Mandatory Prepayments. If, pursuant to the terms of the Senior Loan Documents, Senior Borrower is ever entitled to receive any portion of any Net Proceeds (i.e., such amounts are not required to be used for restoration or to be applied to repayment of the Senior Loan), Borrower shall cause such portion of such Net Proceeds to be paid to Lender and the same shall be applied to the payment of the Debt, in any order, proportion and priority as Lender may determine in its sole and absolute discretion. Any prepayment received by Lender under this Section 2.4.2 shall be (a) subject to Section 2.4.3 hereof and (b) accompanied by (i) an allocable portion of the Exit Points if applied in reduction of principal on the Note or the Future Advance Note, (ii) all other sums due and payable under the Loan Documents, and (iii) all reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred by Lender in connection with such prepayment. Provided that no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, no Prepayment Premium shall be due in connection with any prepayment made pursuant to this Section 2.4.2.
2.4.3    Prepayments After Default. If, after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, prepayment of all or any part of the Debt is tendered by Borrower (which tender may be rejected by Lender to the extent permitted by applicable Legal Requirements and Lender may pursue its remedies pursuant to the Loan Documents) or otherwise recovered by Lender, such tender or recovery shall be deemed (a) to have been made on the next occurring Monthly Payment Date and such prepayment shall be applied first to the Monthly Cash Payment due on such date and (b) to be a voluntary prepayment by Borrower in violation of the prohibition against prepayment set forth in Section 2.4.1 hereof, and Borrower shall pay, in addition to the Debt, or portion thereof then being prepaid or satisfied, (i) the Exit Points, and (ii) the Prepayment Premium, (iii) all other sums due and payable under the Loan Documents, and (iv) all out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred by Lender in connection with such prepayment.

Notwithstanding the previous sentence, the following Transfers, whether of equity interests or management rights, shall be permitted, upon prior written notice to Lender (provided, however, that failure to give notice will not trigger personal liability under Section 11.22), but without Lender’s consent: (a) Transfers of direct and indirect interests in any Restricted Party (other than a direct interest in any Senior Borrower) or any constituent entities owning an interest (directly or indirectly) in a Restricted Party to another Restricted Party (other than Senior Borrower, Borrower or Affiliated Manager) or to Immediate Family Members of a Restricted Party (or entities or trusts controlled by Immediate Family Members) as a result of a death, disability or incapacitation or for estate planning purposes; (b) Transfers of interests in any Restricted Party (other than a direct interest in any Senior Borrower) or any constituent entities owning an interest (directly or indirectly) in a Restricted Party among the Sole Member entities and/or Transfers of interests in any Restricted Party (other than a direct interest in any Senior Borrower) or any constituent entities owning an interest (directly or indirectly) in a Restricted Party among a Restricted Party and/or any owner(s) of a Sole Member entity (including, without limitation, the redemption of an owner of a Sole Member entity); and (c) Transfers of interests by parties not affiliated with the Guarantors, owning a seven and one-half (7.5%) percent or less interest directly or indirectly in Borrower (the “Unrelated Owners”) and which Transfers will not cause any change in control of Borrower; provided, however, that the Unrelated Owners are not permitted to be the transferee of any transfer permitted by

24




subsections (a) and (b) above. Furthermore, any Transfer with respect to Affiliated Manager, even if qualifying under (a), (b) or (c) above, shall not be permitted if it would (x) cause a change in the management provisions of the operating agreement for Rudgate Manager, LLC, including the provision on the succession of management rights in the events of death, disability or like events, or (y) cause a change in the managers of Rudgate Manager, LLC, other than as set forth as of the date hereof in the operating agreement of Rudgate Manager, LLC.

Notwithstanding anything set forth above, no Transfer shall be permitted under this Agreement if it is otherwise prohibited by the Senior Loan Documents, provided, however that a Transfer prohibited by the Senior Loan Documents, but permitted under this Agreement shall not trigger personal liability under Section 11.22.
Section 8.3    Replacement Guarantor. To the extent that any Guarantor is a natural person, the death or incompetency of such Guarantor shall be an Event of Default hereunder unless such Guarantor is replaced in accordance with this Section 8.3. Borrower shall be permitted to substitute a replacement guarantor (a “Substitution”) and no Event of Default shall be deemed to have occurred hereunder, provided that each of the following terms and conditions are satisfied: (a) no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and remain uncured or would occur as a result of such Substitution; (b) within ninety (90) days after the occurrence of such death or incompetency, Borrower delivers to Lender notice of its intent to substitute such Guarantor and, concurrently therewith, if the replacement guarantor is not the approved replacement guarantor under the Senior Loan, gives Lender a certification that such replacement guarantor has a net worth in excess of $3,000,000, and if the remaining Guarantor can provide to Lender a certification that he has a net worth in excess of $5,000,000 and a reaffirmation of the Guaranty, then the existing Guarantor shall be deemed approved and no replacement guarantor shall be needed for the other Guarantor who has died or been adjudicated incapacitated; (c) the replacement guarantor is a Satisfactory Replacement Guarantor; (d) within thirty (30) days after delivery of the written notice described in the preceding clause (b), such Satisfactory Replacement Guarantor assumes the obligations of Guarantor under the Guaranty for events or conditions occurring prior to, as of and after the Substitution; (e) concurrently with such assumption each of Borrower, the remaining Guarantor and such Satisfactory Replacement Guarantor affirms each of their respective obligations under the Loan Documents; (f) if requested by Lender, such Satisfactory Replacement Guarantor executes a replacement guaranty in form and substance the same as the Guaranty. No such death or replacement of a Guarantor shall hinder, impair, limit, terminate or effectuate a novation of the obligations or liabilities of any other Guarantor under any of the Loan Documents. As used herein, the term “Satisfactory Replacement Guarantor” shall mean a replacement guarantor that meets the requirements set forth in this Section 8.3, provided, however, that if such replacement guarantor is deemed acceptable to Senior Lender, then such replacement guarantor shall be deemed acceptable to Lender.

(a)    Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, all or any one or more of the rights, powers, privileges and other remedies available to Lender against Borrower under the Loan Documents executed and delivered by, or applicable to, Borrower or at law or in equity may be exercised by Lender at any time and from time to time, whether or not all or any of the Obligations shall be declared due and payable, and whether or not Lender shall have commenced any foreclosure proceeding or other action for the enforcement of its rights and remedies under any of the Loan Documents with respect to the Collateral. Any such actions taken by Lender shall be cumulative and concurrent and may be pursued independently, singly, successively, together or otherwise, at

28




such time and in such order as Lender may determine in its sole discretion, to the fullest extent permitted by law, without impairing or otherwise affecting the other rights and remedies of Lender permitted by law, equity or contract or as set forth in the Loan Documents. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, if an Event of Default is continuing (i) Lender shall not be subject to any “one action” or “election of remedies” law or rule, and (ii) all Liens and other rights, remedies or privileges provided to Lender shall remain in full force and effect until Lender has exhausted all of its remedies against the Collateral, the Pledge, the Financing Statements, and the other Loan Documents has been foreclosed, sold and/or otherwise realized upon in satisfaction of the Obligations or the Obligations have been paid in full.
(b)    Lender shall have the right from time to time to partially foreclose the Pledge in any manner and for any amounts secured by the Pledge then due and payable as determined by Lender in its sole discretion including the following circumstances: (i) in the event Borrower defaults beyond any applicable grace period in the payment of one or more scheduled payments of principal and interest, Lender may foreclose the Pledge to recover such delinquent payments, or (ii) in the event Lender elects to accelerate less than the entire Outstanding Principal Balance, Lender may foreclose the Pledge to recover so much of the principal balance of the Loan as Lender may accelerate and such other sums secured by the Pledge as Lender may elect. Notwithstanding one or more partial foreclosures, the Property shall remain subject to the Pledge to secure payment of the sums secured by the Pledge and not previously recovered.
(c)    Any amounts recovered from the Collateral or any other collateral for the Loan after an Event of Default may be applied by Lender toward the payment of any interest and/or principal of the Loan and/or any other amounts due under the Loan Documents in such order, priority and proportions as Lender in its sole discretion shall determine.
(d)    Notwithstanding anything set forth elsewhere in this Agreement, upon the occurrence of a Default or an Event of Default that is caused by the affirmative actions of the Manager or the Manager’s failure to perform its obligations under the Management Agreement, Lender shall have no right to exercise any of the remedies set forth in this Section 10.2. In the event that any Obligation is required to be performed by the Manager pursuant to the Management Agreement, and such Obligation is not performed, then Borrower shall not be deemed to be in default of this Agreement as long as Borrower has requested that the Manager perform the Obligation(s) and Borrower endeavors to cause Manager to perform such Obligation(s); provided, however, that Borrower’s acts or omissions do not obstruct or interfere with Manager’s ability to perform such Obligation(s).
Section 10.3    Lender’s Right to Perform. If Borrower fails to perform any covenant or obligation contained in the Loan Documents, without in any way limiting Lender’s right to exercise any of its rights, powers or remedies as provided under any of the Loan Documents or releasing Borrower from any covenant or obligation under the Loan Documents, Lender may, but shall have no obligation to, perform, or cause the performance of, such covenant or obligation, and all costs, expenses, liabilities, penalties and fines of Lender incurred or paid in connection therewith shall be payable by Borrower to Lender upon demand, and if not paid shall be added to the Obligations (and to the extent permitted under applicable laws, secured by the Pledge and the other Loan Documents) and shall bear interest at the Default Rate. Lender shall have no obligation to send notice to Borrower of any such failure.

29




Section 10.4    Remedies Cumulative. The rights, powers and remedies of Lender under this Agreement shall be cumulative and not exclusive of any other right, power or remedy which Lender may have against Borrower pursuant to the Loan Documents, or existing at law or in equity or otherwise. Lender’s rights, powers and remedies may be pursued singly, concurrently or otherwise, at such time and in such order as Lender may determine in Lender’s sole discretion. No delay or omission to exercise any remedy, right or power accruing upon an Event of Default shall impair any such remedy, right or power or shall be construed as a waiver thereof, but any such remedy, right or power may be exercised from time to time and as often as may be deemed expedient. A waiver of one Default or Event of Default with respect to Borrower shall not be construed to be a waiver of any subsequent Default or Event of Default by Borrower or to impair any remedy, right or power consequent thereon.

In the event that a claim or adjudication is made that Lender or its agents have acted unreasonably or unreasonably delayed acting in any case where, by law or under the Loan Documents, Lender or such agent, as the case may be, has an obligation to act reasonably or promptly, neither Lender nor its agents shall be liable for any monetary damages, and Borrower’s sole remedy shall be limited to commencing an action seeking injunctive relief or declaratory judgment. Any action or proceeding to determine whether Lender has acted reasonably shall be determined by an action seeking declaratory judgment.
Section 11.13    Expenses; Indemnity.
(a)    To the extent there is sufficient Property Revenue to pay, and Borrower receives such Property Revenue and is legally permitted to pay such amounts to Lender, Borrower shall pay or, if Borrower fails to pay, reimburse Lender upon receipt of notice from Lender, for all reasonable costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements) incurred by Lender in connection with (i) Borrower’s ongoing performance of and compliance with Borrower’s agreements and covenants contained in the Loan Documents on its part to be performed or complied with after the Closing Date, including, without limitation, confirming compliance with environmental and insurance requirements; (ii) Lender’s ongoing performance of and compliance with all agreements and covenants contained in the Loan Documents on its part to be performed or complied with after the Closing Date; (iii) the negotiation, preparation, execution, delivery and administration of any consents, amendments, waivers or other modifications to the Loan Documents and any other documents or matters requested by Borrower or any Guarantor; and (iv) the filing and recording fees and expenses, title insurance and reasonable fees and expenses of counsel for providing to Lender all required legal opinions, and other similar expenses incurred, in creating and perfecting the Liens in favor of Lender pursuant to the Loan Documents; provided, however, that Borrower shall not be liable for the payment of any such costs and expenses (1) to the extent the same arise by reason of the gross negligence, illegal acts, fraud or willful misconduct of Lender, as determined by a final non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction, or (2) to the extent that Manager is required to pay such costs or expenses pursuant to the Management Agreement.
(b)     Borrower shall pay or, if Borrower fails to pay, reimburse Lender upon receipt of notice from Lender, for all reasonable costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements) incurred by Lender in connection with: (i) enforcing or preserving any rights, in response to third party claims or the prosecuting or defending of any action or proceeding or other litigation, in each case against, under or affecting Borrower, the Loan Documents, the Collateral or any other security given for the Loan; and (ii) enforcing any Obligations of or collecting any payments due from Borrower or Guarantors under the Loan Documents or with respect to the Collateral or in connection with any refinancing or restructuring of the credit arrangements provided

34




under this Agreement in the nature of a “work-out” or of any Bankruptcy Action; provided, however, that Borrower shall not be liable for the payment of any such costs and expenses (1) to the extent the same arise by reason of the gross negligence, illegal acts, fraud or willful misconduct of Lender, as determined by a final non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction, or (2) to the extent that Manager is required to pay such costs or expenses pursuant to the Management Agreement.
Section 11.14    Schedules Incorporated. The Schedules and Exhibits annexed hereto are hereby incorporated herein as a part of this Agreement with the same effect as if set forth in the body hereof.
Section 11.15    Offsets, Counterclaims and Defenses. Any assignee of Lender’s interest in and to the Loan Documents shall take the same free and clear of all offsets, counterclaims and defenses which are unrelated to such documents which Borrower may otherwise have against any assignor of such documents, and no such unrelated counterclaim or defense shall be interposed or asserted by Borrower in any action or proceeding brought by any such assignee upon such documents and any such right to interpose or assert any such unrelated offset, counterclaim or defense in any such action or proceeding is hereby expressly waived by Borrower.
Section 11.16    No Joint Venture or Partnership; No Third Party Beneficiaries.
(a)    Borrower and Lender intend that the relationships created under the Loan Documents be solely that of borrower and lender. Nothing herein or therein is intended to create a joint venture, partnership, tenancy-in-common, or joint tenancy relationship between Borrower and Lender nor to grant Lender any interest in the Collateral other than that of pledgee, beneficiary or lender.
(b)    The Loan Documents are solely for the benefit of Lender and nothing contained in the Loan Documents shall be deemed to confer upon anyone other than Lender any right to insist upon or to enforce the performance or observance of any of the Obligations contained herein or therein. All conditions to the obligations of Lender to make the Loan hereunder are imposed solely and exclusively for the benefit of Lender and no other Person shall have standing to require satisfaction of such conditions in accordance with their terms or be entitled to assume that Lender will refuse to make the Loan in the absence of strict compliance with any or all thereof and no other Person shall under any circumstances be deemed to be a beneficiary of such conditions, any or all of which may be freely waived in whole or in part by Lender if, in Lender’s sole discretion, Lender deems it advisable or desirable to do so.
Section 11.17    Publicity. Any news releases, publicity or advertising by Borrower or its Affiliates which refers to the Loan Documents or the financing evidenced by the Loan Documents or to Lender or any of its Affiliates shall be subject to the prior approval of Lender.




35




Section 11.18    Waiver of Marshalling of Assets. To the fullest extent permitted by law, Borrower, for itself and its successors and assigns, waives all rights to a marshalling of the assets of Borrower, Borrower’s members or partners, as applicable, and others with interests in Borrower, and of the Property, and shall not assert any right under any laws pertaining to the marshalling of assets, the sale in inverse order of alienation, homestead exemption, the administration of estates of decedents, or any other matters whatsoever to defeat, reduce or affect the right of Lender under the Loan Documents to a sale of the Collateral for the collection of the Obligations without any prior or different resort for collection or of the right of Lender to the payment of the Obligations out of the net proceeds of the Collateral in preference to every other claimant whatsoever.
Section 11.19    Waiver of Offsets/Defenses/Counterclaims. Borrower hereby waives the right to assert a counterclaim, other than a compulsory counterclaim, in any action or proceeding brought against it by Lender or its agents or otherwise to offset any obligations to make the payments required by the Loan Documents. No failure by Lender to perform any of its obligations hereunder shall be a valid defense to, or result in any offset against, any payments which Borrower is obligated to make under any of the Loan Documents.
Section 11.20    Conflict; Construction of Documents; Reliance. In the event of any conflict between the provisions of this Agreement and any of the other Loan Documents, the provisions of this Agreement shall control. The parties hereto acknowledge that they were represented by competent counsel in connection with the negotiation, drafting and execution of the Loan Documents and that such Loan Documents shall not be subject to the principle of construing their meaning against the party which drafted same. Borrower acknowledges that, with respect to the Loan, Borrower shall rely solely on its own judgment and advisors in entering into the Loan without relying in any manner on any statements, representations or recommendations of Lender or any parent, subsidiary or Affiliate of Lender. Lender shall not be subject to any limitation whatsoever in the exercise of any rights or remedies available to it under any of the Loan Documents or any other agreements or instruments which govern the Loan by virtue of the ownership by it or any parent, subsidiary or Affiliate of Lender of any equity interest any of them may acquire in Borrower, and Borrower hereby irrevocably waives the right to raise any defense or take any action on the basis of the foregoing with respect to Lender’s exercise of any such rights or remedies. Borrower acknowledges that Lender engages in the business of real estate financings and other real estate transactions and investments which may be viewed as adverse to or competitive with the business of Borrower or its Affiliates.
Section 11.21    Brokers and Financial Advisors.
Borrower hereby represents that it has dealt with no financial advisors, brokers, underwriters, placement agents, agents or finders in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. Borrower shall indemnify, defend and hold Lender harmless from and against any and all claims, liabilities, costs and expenses of any kind (including Lender’s attorneys’ fees and expenses) in any way relating to or arising from a claim by any Person (including Broker) that such Person acted on behalf of Borrower or Lender in connection with the transactions contemplated herein. The provisions of this Section 11.21 shall survive the expiration and termination of this Agreement and the payment of the Obligations.

36




Section 11.22    Exculpation.
Subject to the qualifications below, Lender shall not enforce the liability and obligation of Borrower to perform and observe the Obligations contained in the Loan Documents by any action or proceeding wherein a money judgment shall be sought against Borrower, except that Lender may bring a foreclosure action, an action for specific performance or any other appropriate action or proceeding to enable Lender to enforce and realize upon its interest under the Loan Documents, or in the Collateral, or any other collateral given to Lender pursuant to the Loan Documents; provided, however, that, except as specifically provided herein, any judgment in any such action or proceeding shall be enforceable against Borrower only to the extent of Borrower’s interest in the Collateral and in any other collateral given to Lender, and Lender, by accepting the Loan Documents, shall not sue for, seek or demand any deficiency judgment against Borrower in any such action or proceeding under or by reason of or under or in connection with the Loan Documents. The provisions of this Section shall not, however, (a) constitute a waiver, release or impairment of any obligation evidenced or secured by any of the Loan Documents; (b) impair the right of Lender to name Borrower as a party defendant in any action or suit for foreclosure and sale under the Pledge; (c) affect the validity or enforceability of any of the Loan Documents or any guaranty made in connection with the Loan or any of the rights and remedies of Lender thereunder; (d) impair the right of Lender to obtain the appointment of a receiver; (e) constitute a prohibition against Lender to seek a deficiency judgment against Borrower in order to fully realize the security granted by the Pledge or to commence any other appropriate action or proceeding in order for Lender to exercise its remedies against the Collateral; or (f) constitute a waiver of the right of Lender to enforce the liability and obligation of Borrower, by money judgment or otherwise, to the extent of any loss, damage, cost, expense, liability, claim or other obligation incurred by Lender (including attorneys’ fees and costs reasonably incurred) arising out of or in connection with the following:
(i)    Any violation or breach of Section 3.1.34 of this Agreement existing on the date of this Agreement;
(ii)    material physical waste or, after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, the removal or disposal of any portion of the Property or the Collateral in violation of the Loan Documents and caused by Borrower, Senior Borrower, Affiliated Manager, Guarantor or any Affiliate of Borrower, Senior Borrower, Affiliated Manager or Guarantor;
(iii)    the misapplication, misappropriation or conversion by Senior Borrower or Borrower of (A) any Insurance Proceeds paid by reason of any loss, damage or destruction to the Property and not used in compliance with the Senior Loan Documents and the Loan Documents, (B) any Awards or other amounts received in connection with the Condemnation of all or a portion of the Property and not used in compliance with the Senior Loan Documents and the Loan Documents, or (C) any Gross Revenues (whether before or after an Event of Default), to the extent such misapplication, misappropriation or conversion consists of a failure to deposit such Gross Revenues into the Clearing Account in accordance with the terms of the Senior Loan Documents, or (D) any Gross Revenues after an Event of Default (including, without limitation, any security deposits, advance deposits or any other deposits collected by Borrower with respect to the Property (including the failure to deliver any such deposits to the Senior Lender or upon a foreclosure of the Property or an action in lieu thereof, except to the extent any such deposits were

37




applied in accordance with the terms and conditions of the applicable Lease prior to the occurrence of the Event of Default giving rise to such foreclosure or action in lieu thereof)) and; provided, however, in no event shall the payment of the Gross Revenues to the Senior Lender or the utilization of such Gross Revenues to pay for operating, maintenance, repair and/or replacement costs associated with the Property be deemed to be a misapplication, misappropriation or conversion of such Gross Revenues;
(iv)    in connection with the Loan or the Property, Borrower, Senior Borrower, any Guarantor, any Affiliate of Borrower, Senior Borrower or any Guarantor engages in any action constituting fraud or willful and material misrepresentation, or willful misconduct;
(v)    the forfeiture by Senior Borrower of the Property (or a portion of the Property), including by reason of any claim under the Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act, that results from conduct of criminal activity by Senior Borrower, Borrower, any Guarantor or any of their respective Affiliates;
(vi)     Borrower or Senior Borrower fail to comply with any of the material single purpose representations, warranties or covenants set forth in the Loan Documents or Senior Loan Documents and which failure is not cured within thirty (30) days after Borrower’s receipt of written notice identifying such non-compliance, to the extent such non-compliance may be cured, provided, however, that if the Borrower is diligently working to cure the noncompliance, then Lender shall grant the Borrower an additional thirty (30) days to cure such non-compliance;
(vii)    any Guarantor, Borrower, Senior Borrower or any Affiliate of any of the foregoing, in connection with any enforcement action or exercise or assertion of any right or remedy by or on behalf of Lender under or in connection with the Guaranty, the Note, the Future Advance Note, the Pledge or any other Loan Document, seeks a defense, judicial intervention or injunctive or other equitable relief of any kind or asserts in a pleading filed in connection with a judicial proceeding any defense against Lender or any right in connection with any security for the Loan and which the Court in any such action or proceeding determines in a final, non-appealable order is frivolous, brought in bad faith or wholly without basis in fact or law; or
(viii)    If the Management Agreement is no longer in effect as a result of Borrower’s or Senior Borrower’s termination of the Management Agreement, then the Borrower and Guarantor shall be liable for any and all actual loss, damage, cost, expense, liability, claim or other obligation incurred or suffered by Lender (including reasonable attorneys' fees and costs reasonably incurred) arising out of or in connection with the following:
(A)    the failure to pay charges for labor or materials or other charges that can create Liens on any portion of the Property or the Collateral to the extent such Liens are not bonded over or discharged in accordance with the Loan Documents, except with respect to any Liens which exist due to Senior Borrower’s inability to make the required payments because they do not have access to the Gross Revenues to pay such charges or because there is not sufficient Rents from the Property to make such payments so long as Senior Borrower has not applied the Rents from the Property in violation of the Loan Documents and Senior Borrower contracted for such labor or materials in the ordinary course of business in accordance with the terms of the Loan Documents and with the good faith belief that there would be sufficient funds to timely pay such sums; or

38




(B)     the failure to pay (1) Taxes or (2) obtain and maintain the fully paid for Policies in accordance with the Senior Loan Documents and the Loan Documents, except if such failure to pay arose because (a) they do not have access to the Gross Revenues to pay such charges or because there was not sufficient Rents from the Property to make such payments so long as neither Borrower nor Senior Borrower have applied the Rents from the Property in violation of the Senior Loan Document or Loan Documents, or (b) funds in the Tax Account or Insurance Account (each as defined in the Senior Loan Agreement, and as applicable) were not used for such purpose or applied by the Senior Lender in any other manner; provided, however, any such liability for Taxes and Insurance Premiums shall cease with respect to Taxes and Insurance Premiums payable after Senior Borrower, Borrower and their Affiliates are not in possession or control of the Property.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, (A) Lender shall not be deemed to have waived any right which Lender may have under Section 506(a), 506(b), 1111(b) or any other provisions of the Bankruptcy Code to file a claim for the full amount of the Loan and all obligations thereunder or to require that all collateral shall continue to secure the Loan owing to Lender in accordance with the Loan Documents, and (B) the Loan and all obligations thereunder shall be fully recourse to Borrower and Guarantor in the event that any of the following occur, unless caused by the acts or omissions of the Manager or its affiliates in violation of the Management Agreement:
(a)    Borrower or Senior Borrower fails to comply with any representation, warranty or covenant set forth in Loan Documents or Senior Loan Documents with respect to single purpose structure (and excluding violations caused solely by the Manager or its affiliates), and a court of competent jurisdiction orders a substantive consolidation of the assets and liabilities of any Borrower or Senior Borrower with those of any other Person (other than a Borrower or Senior Borrower) based on such failure;
(b)     Borrower or Senior Borrower fails to obtain Lender’s prior consent to any Indebtedness (which for clarification shall not mean trade payables, operating expenses, capital expenditures, property taxes or assessments, sums due to the Manager or the Senior Lender or indebtedness for borrowed money created through the acts or omissions of the Manager) or any voluntary Lien encumbering the Property or any portion thereof or interest therein, except to the extent expressly permitted by the Loan Documents and excluding any Liens permitted herein and further excluding voluntary liens created through the acts or omissions of Manager or its affiliates;
(c)    Borrower, Senior Borrower or their constituent members or partners fail to obtain Lender’s prior consent to any transfer, except for (i) Permitted Transfers, (ii) transfers otherwise expressly permitted (without Lender’s prior consent) by the Loan Documents or the Senior Loan Documents, or (iii) a transfer to the Senior Lender following an occurrence of an event of default under the Senior Loan;




39




(d)    Borrower or Senior Borrower files a voluntary petition under the Bankruptcy Code or any other federal, state, local or foreign bankruptcy or insolvency law;
(e)    an Affiliate, officer, director or representative which controls, directly or indirectly, Borrower or Senior Borrower files, or joins in the filing of, an involuntary petition against Borrower or Senior Borrower (or any one of them) under the Bankruptcy Code or any other federal, state, local or foreign bankruptcy or insolvency law, or solicits or causes to be solicited petitioning creditors for any involuntary petition against Borrower or Senior Borrower (or any one of them) from any Person;
(f)    Borrower or Senior Borrower (or any one of them) files an answer consenting to, or otherwise acquiescing in, or joining in, any involuntary petition filed against it, by any other Person under the Bankruptcy Code or any other federal, state, local or foreign bankruptcy or insolvency law, or solicits or causes to be solicited petitioning creditors for any involuntary petition from any Person;
(g)     any Affiliate, officer, director or representative which controls Borrower or Senior Borrower consents to, or acquiesces in, or joins in, an application for the appointment of a custodian, receiver, trustee or examiner for Borrower or Senior Borrower or any portion of the Property, other than at the request of Lender or Senior Lender; or
(h)    Borrower or Senior Borrower (or any one of them) makes an assignment for the benefit of creditors, or admits in any legal proceeding, its insolvency or inability to pay its debts as they become due unless to do otherwise would require a false statement or violate Rule 9011 of the Federal Rules of Bankruptcy Procedure or other applicable rules requiring a sufficient legal and factual basis for filing papers in a proceeding under Federal or state insolvency law.
As used in this Section 11.22, the term “control” means the possession, directly or indirectly, of the power to direct or cause the direction of the management, policies or activities of a Person, whether through ownership of voting securities, by contract or otherwise.
Section 11.23    Prior Agreements. The Loan Documents contain the entire agreement of the parties hereto and thereto in respect of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby, and all prior agreements among or between such parties, whether oral or written, are superseded by the terms of the Loan Documents.
Section 11.24    Servicer.
(a)    At the option of Lender, the Loan may be serviced by a master servicer, primary servicer, special servicer and/or trustee (any such master servicer, primary servicer, special servicer and trustee, together with its agents, designees or nominees, collectively, “Servicer”) selected by Lender and Lender may delegate all or any portion of its responsibilities under the Loan Documents to the Servicer pursuant to a pooling and servicing agreement, servicing agreement, special servicing agreement and/or other agreement providing for the servicing of one (1) or more mortgage loans between Lender and Servicer.

40




(b)    Upon notice thereof from Lender, Servicer shall have the right to exercise all rights of Lender and enforce all obligations of Borrower and any Guarantor under the Loan Documents.
(c)    Provided Borrower shall have received notice from Lender of Servicer's address, Borrower shall deliver, and cause to be delivered, to Servicer duplicate originals of all notices and other documents and instruments which Borrower and/or Guarantor deliver to Lender pursuant to the Loan Documents. No delivery of any such notices or other documents shall be of any force or effect unless delivered to Lender and Servicer as provided in this Section 11.24(c).
Section 11.25    Joint and Several Liability. If more than one Person has executed any of the Loan Documents as “Borrower,” the representations, covenants, warranties and obligations of all such Persons under such Loan Documents shall be joint and several.
Section 11.26    Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which when so executed and delivered shall be an original, but all of which shall together constitute one and the same instrument.
Section 11.27    Set-Off. In addition to any rights and remedies of Lender provided by this Agreement and by law, Lender shall have the right, without prior notice to Borrower, any such notice being expressly waived by Borrower to the extent permitted by Legal Requirements, upon any amount becoming due and payable by Borrower hereunder (whether at the stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise), to set-off and appropriate and apply against such amount any and all credits, indebtedness or claims, in each case whether direct or indirect, absolute or contingent, matured or unmatured, at any time held or owing by Lender to or for the credit or the account of Borrower. Lender agrees promptly to notify Borrower after any such set-off and application made by Lender; provided that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such set-off and application.
ARTICLE 12: SENIOR LOAN
Section 12.1    Senior Loan Notice.
(a)    Promptly after receipt (but no more than five (5) Business Days after receipt), Borrower will deliver (or cause Senior Borrower to deliver) to Lender a true, correct and complete copy of all notices, demands, requests or material correspondence (including electronically transmitted items) received from Senior Lender by Senior Borrower or any guarantor under the Senior Loan Documents.
(b)    Unless otherwise delivered to Lender pursuant to the provisions of Section 4.1.7 hereof, and except as otherwise provided herein, Borrower will deliver (or cause Senior Borrower to deliver) to Lender all of the financial statements and material reports, certificates and related items delivered or required to be delivered by Senior Borrower to Senior Lender under the Senior Loan Documents as and when due under the Senior Loan Documents.


41




Section 12.2    Senior Loan Estoppels. After written request by Lender made no more than one time in any calendar year, Borrower shall (or shall cause Senior Borrower to) from time to time, use reasonable efforts to obtain from Senior Lender such estoppel certificates with respect to the status of the Senior Loan and compliance by Senior Borrower with the terms of the Senior Loan Documents as may reasonably be requested by Lender. In the event or to the extent that Senior Lender is not legally obligated to deliver such estoppel certificates and is unwilling to deliver the same, or is legally obligated to deliver such estoppel certificates but breaches such obligation, then Borrower shall not be in breach of this provision so long as, in addition to using reasonable efforts to obtain such estoppel from Senior Lender, Borrower furnishes to Lender estoppels executed by Senior Borrower, each expressly representing to Lender the information requested by Lender regarding the status of the Senior Loan and the compliance by Senior Borrower with the terms of the Senior Loan Documents. Subject to Section 11.22 hereof, Borrower hereby indemnifies Lender from and against all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, assessments, actions, or causes of action, judgments, suits, claims, demands, costs, expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ and other professional fees, whether or not suit is brought and settlement costs) and reasonable disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever which may be imposed on, actually incurred by, or asserted against Lender based in whole or in part upon any fact, event, condition, or circumstances relating to the Senior Loan which was misrepresented in any material respect by Borrower in, or which warrants disclosure and was omitted from such estoppel executed by Senior Borrower.
Section 12.3    Intercreditor Agreement. Borrower hereby acknowledges and agrees that (a) the Intercreditor Agreement will be solely for the benefit of Lender and Senior Lender, (b) neither Borrower nor Senior Borrower shall be intended third-party beneficiaries of any of the provisions therein, and (c) neither Borrower nor Senior Borrower shall have any rights thereunder or shall be entitled to rely on any of the provisions contained therein. Neither of Lender or Senior Lender shall have any obligation to disclose to Borrower or Senior Borrower the contents of the Intercreditor Agreement. Borrower’s obligations hereunder are and will be independent of the Intercreditor Agreement and shall remain unmodified by the terms and provisions thereof.
Section 12.4    Direction of Senior Borrower. Borrower and Lender hereby acknowledge and agree that, as to any clauses or provisions contained in this Agreement or any other Loan Documents to the effect that (i) Borrower shall cause, direct, permit or allow Senior Borrower to act or to refrain from acting in any manner or (ii) Borrower shall cause to occur or not to occur, or otherwise be obligated in any manner with respect to, any matters pertaining to Senior Borrower, or (iii) other similar effect, such clause or provision, in each case, is intended to mean, and shall be construed as meaning, with respect to Borrower, and to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, the power (whether direct or indirect) of Borrower to direct Senior Borrower (through ownership of voting securities or partnership or limited liability company or other ownership interests), to bring about or effect a desired result.
Section 12.5    Compliance with Senior Loan Documents.
(a)    Borrower shall cause Senior Borrower to (i) pay all principal, interest and other sums required to be paid by Senior Borrower under and pursuant to the provisions of the Senior Loan Documents; (ii) diligently perform, observe and comply with all of the terms, provisions, covenants and obligations of Senior Borrower under all of the Senior Loan Documents

42




as and when required under the Senior Loan Documents, unless such performance or observance shall be waived in writing by Senior Lender.
(b)    Borrower shall cause Senior Borrower to fund all reserves required to be funded pursuant to the Senior Loan Documents. In the event of a refinancing of the Senior Loan permitted by the terms of this Agreement, Borrower will cause all reserves on deposit with Senior Lender to be utilized by Senior Borrower to reduce the amount due and payable to Senior Lender or alternatively to be remitted to Lender as a mandatory prepayment of the Loan.
Section 12.6    Senior Loan Defaults.
(a)    Without limiting the generality of the other provisions of this Agreement, and without waiving or releasing Borrower from any of its obligations hereunder, if there shall occur any “Event of Default” under the Senior Loan Documents, Borrower hereby expressly agrees that Lender shall have the immediate right, without prior notice to Borrower, but shall be under no obligation: (i) to pay all or any part of the Senior Loan and any other sums that are then due and payable, and to perform any act or take any action on behalf of Borrower and/or Senior Borrower as may be appropriate, to cause all of the terms, covenants and conditions of the Senior Loan Documents on the part of Senior Borrower to be performed or observed thereunder to be promptly performed or observed; and (ii) to pay any other amounts and take any other action as Lender, in its sole and absolute discretion, shall deem advisable to protect or preserve the rights and interests of Lender in the Loan and/or the Collateral. All sums so paid and the costs and expenses incurred by Lender in exercising rights under this Section 12.6 (including attorneys’ fees) (i) shall constitute an Additional Advance on the Note, (ii) shall increase the then unpaid principal balance of the Loan, (iii) shall bear interest at the Default Rate for the period from the date that such costs or expenses were incurred to the date of payment to Lender, (iv) shall constitute a portion of the Debt, and (v) shall be secured by the Pledge and the other Loan Documents.
(b)    Subject to Section 11.22 hereof, Borrower hereby indemnifies Lender from and against all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, assessments, actions, or causes of action, judgments, suits, claims, demands, costs, expenses (including attorneys’ and other professional fees, whether or not suit is brought, and settlement costs) and disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever which may be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against Lender as a result of the actions identified in Section 12.6(a) (collectively, the “Senior Loan Cure Liabilities”). To the extent that the undertaking to indemnify set forth in the preceding sentence may be unenforceable because it violates any law or public policy, Borrower shall pay the maximum portion that it is permitted to pay and satisfy under applicable law to the payment and satisfaction of all Senior Loan Cure Liabilities incurred by Lender. The provisions of Section 12.6(a) and this Section 12.6(b) shall survive any payment or prepayment of the Loan and any foreclosure or satisfaction of the Mortgage. Lender shall have no obligation to Borrower, Senior Borrower or any other party to make any such payment or performance. Borrower shall not impede, interfere with, hinder or delay, and shall not permit Senior Borrower to impede, interfere with, hinder or delay, any effort or action on the part of Lender to cure any default or asserted default under the Senior Loan, or to otherwise protect or preserve Lender’s interests in the Loan and the Collateral following a default or asserted default under the Senior Loan.

43




(c)    Borrower hereby grants Lender and any person designated by Lender the right to enter upon the Property at any time following the occurrence and during the continuance of any default, or the assertion by Senior Lender that a default has occurred under the Senior Loan Documents, for the purpose of taking any such action or to appear in, defend or bring any action or proceeding to protect Borrower’s, Senior Borrower’s and/or Lender’s interest. Lender may take such action as Lender deems reasonably necessary or desirable to carry out the intents and purposes of this subsection (including communicating with Senior Lender with respect to any Senior Loan defaults), without prior notice to, or consent from, Borrower. Lender shall have no obligation to complete any cure or attempted cure undertaken or commenced by Lender.
(d)    If Lender shall receive a copy of any notice of default under the Senior Loan Documents sent by Senior Lender to any Senior Borrower, such notice shall constitute full protection to Lender for any action taken or omitted to be taken by Lender, in good faith, in reliance thereon. As a material inducement to Lender’s making the Loan, Borrower hereby absolutely and unconditionally releases and waives all claims against Lender arising out of Lender’s exercise of its rights and remedies provided in this Section 12.6, except for Lender’s gross negligence or willful misconduct. In the event that Lender makes any payment in respect of the Senior Loan, Lender shall be subrogated to all of the rights of Senior Lender under the Senior Loan Documents against the Property, in addition to all other rights it may have under the Loan Documents.
(e)    Nothing contained herein shall serve to make Borrower or Guarantor liable for any payments due to Senior Lender under the Senior Loan Documents, and except as otherwise provided in Section 11.22 hereof or in the Guaranty, in no event shall Borrower or Guarantor be liable for any amounts due pursuant to the Section 12.6.
Section 12.7    Refinancing of Senior Loan. Without obtaining the prior written consent of Lender, Borrower shall not cause or permit Senior Borrower to (i) refinance or repay or defease the Senior Loan or (ii) take any action in violation of the terms of the Senior Loan Documents.
Section 12.8    Modification of Senior Loan. Without obtaining the prior written consent of Lender, Borrower shall not cause or permit Senior Borrower to amend or modify the Senior Loan Documents.
Section 12.9    Acquisition of Senior Loan. Neither Borrower, Senior Borrower or any Affiliate of any of them shall acquire or agree to acquire the Senior Loan, or any portion thereof or any interest therein, or any direct or indirect ownership interest in the holder of the Senior Loan (other than through routine purchase of publically traded securities), via purchase, transfer, exchange or otherwise, and any breach or attempted breach of this provision shall constitute an Event of Default hereunder. If, solely by operation of applicable subrogation law, Borrower, Senior Borrower or any Affiliate of any of them shall have failed to comply with the foregoing, then Borrower: (i) shall immediately notify Lender of such failure; and (ii) shall cause any and all such prohibited parties acquiring any interest in the Senior Loan Documents: (A) not to enforce the Senior Loan Documents; and (B) upon the request of Lender, to the extent any of such prohibited parties has or have the power or authority to do so, to promptly: (1) cancel the promissory note evidencing the Senior Loan, (2) reconvey and release the lien securing the Senior Loan and any other collateral

44




under the Senior Loan Documents, and (3) discontinue and terminate any enforcement proceeding(s) under the Senior Loan Documents.
